Everybody Ships Us

It’s our first double date, and improv duo Buddy Puzzle is here to amp up the fun! Anatasha Blakely and Jacob Sorling (actors, directors, writers, producers) join Shelley and Bonnie on location at their hotel room in LA to talk about how they met (hint: it’s adorable), maintaining their friendships while prioritizing their relationship, advocating for your partner, and having a work/life balance when you work AND live with your fiance! Make sure to tune in for this one to find out how Shakespeare is like improv, according to Anatasha. They may not be in the living room for this one, but this conversation will still make you feel all cozy and warm!

Inch Thick, Knee Deep: @inchthickfilm 

Note: this episode was recorded before Anatasha won “Best Actress in a Short” for her performance in the film we talk about in this episode, “Inch Thick, Knee Deep,” at Screamfest LA. We weren’t joking, y’all - this film is CRAZY GOOD.

On this episode of Mail With Jeremy, the robots and the fish rule the roost! Bonnie and Shelley confront their problematic erasure of some fans of the show, and vow to do better. Shelley speaks fish, Bonnie struggles to say the name of a certain blue liqueur - and of course, they answer your fan mail. Plus, Bonnie and Shelley issue a challenger for Jeremy?!

It’s vulnerability time as Shelley and Bonnie play for each other their most cringeworthy personal voice memos from their phones, have a heart-to-heart about their roommate cleaning habits, and reveal what they look for in a potential partner. But don’t worry… they also chat about frat parties, discuss Hamlet’s mental state during his titular play, and add new terrible words to the English language (you’re welcome, and they’re sorry)! It is truly an episode to re-memo…

Our hosts return from an eventful weekend camping trip with Assistern Bri and Neighbor Bailey for a date wherein they test Shelley’s Pokémon knowledge, welcome the return of the Red Flags Game, and gush over each other’s challenger playlists! One of our hosts inches closer to meeting The Rock, and a special guest surprises Shelley and Bonnie mid-recording with a gift. Things get even more in-tents when Shelley and Bonnie take on question 2 of the “36 Questions That Lead to Love” and discuss the current social media culture and the price of fame.

Today’s Mail includes an answer to Bonnie and Shelley’s cry for financial help from an earlier episode, a long-awaited explanation of the famed “anger quilt” that Shelley wants after Bonnie dies, and a message from a loved one who inspired the name of this podcast, “Everybody Ships Us”! And Bonnie wants to issue a formal public apology to Jeremy, who was asked a question - but wasn’t allowed to answer. What an episode!

Jeremy the Seagull is back with more mail for Shelley and Bonnie to open! Our hosts reveal what facts they love about each other, talk about the origins of their “ships” theme, and argue the concept of “loose corn,” and whether or not it’s inferior to… non-loose corn. And an unexpected side quest switcheroo dissolves them into fits of laughter - and threatens to derail the entire episode.

Shelley returns home after being on vacation in an RV for a week, and Bonnie flies to Utah for a week the next day - so this date serves as a nighttime whirlwind catch-up. What begins as a lighthearted check-in for our two hosts quickly turns into an intimate look at Shelley’s sometimes complicated relationship with her family. In partnership with each other, Shelley and Bonnie demonstrate how to ask for help when you need it, and how to be a safe place to land.

*Content warning: This episode mentions vomiting (05:28-14:50, 53:57-54:15, 58:20-58:33) and abusive relationships (24:30-27:07, 36:16-37:00, 52:14-53:20).
