Busy Philipps is Doing Her Best

Busy and Caissie are back with more advice for listeners who wrote in to share their personal dilemmas. This episode was previously recorded so that Busy and Caissie could take a little break, and so no reference to the way all hell has broken loose in the world is made during the episode. Hopefully, it will be a pleasant respite from current events.

Well, Busy and Caissie took one week off for the holiday and all hell broke loose. This week, they debate their very complicated feelings about our Democracy, then, as a treat, they discuss a celebrity rumor that’s exploded all over the place and theorize how, if it was true (and they’re not saying it is) and it happened to them, how *they* would have handled it.

This week has a lot of big themes and threads running through it. Find out what BFF Michelle Williams was urgently calling Busy about at the start of the podcast. And speaking of celebrity friends who met when they were teens, Caissie recaps the Brats documentary and why it might be falling kind of flat for some Gen X Brat Pack fans, which leads to talk about the Rat Pack. And speaking of rodents, Caissie gets to reveal to Busy, live on the pod, that Vulture called their emergency holiday decor preparedness segment with Tina Fey on Busy This Week the second best moment on late night last week! Further, the Vickerman Holly Jolly Squirrel that Tina was enchanted with and took home with her is now SOLD OUT on QVC. Which reinforces the point Tina was trying to make while also bringing us full circle back to why Michelle was calling to begin with.

This week, Caissie has moved out of Casa Kismet and back home to LA, after a brief stop in Texas, and Busy is experiencing post-strep-throat-induced euphoria.

A documentary about their efforts No One Asked You, just premiered.

This week, Busy’s and Caissie’s friend, the host of the Glamorous Trash podcast, Chelsea Devantez, stops by to talk about her new memoir, “I Shouldn’t Be Telling You This (But I’m Going to Anyway)” where she covers what it’s like to be donor conceived and diagnosed with CPTSD. And after revisiting the many traumas they have all faced, they all take a minute to try to figure out what’s going on with Ben Affleck and J Lo. Plus, Busy went on a good date and it’s the last week of taping for Busy This Week…for now, and Caissie is wondering how she’ll transition back to regular life!

This week had a lot of highs and lows. Busy finally got to meet Oprah! Busy cursed in front of Oprah and millions of people watching. Caissie caught a mouse in Busy’s apartment that turned out to be something else. They have a new show coming out tonight on QVC+ with Kenan Thompson as the guest! But the highest of the high was getting to chat with the charming and talented Dylan Mulvaney about what it’s like to find yourself in the middle of the debate over trans rights, and beer, and finding your creative voice amidst the noise.
