How Were U Brainwashed?

Jenny & Nicole welcome hilarious writer (SNL, Shrill, Loot, I Love That for You) and actress (I Think You Should Leave, The Other Two) Sudi Green to the pod!

We get into going to college with baby teeth, flat ironing your hair with a Chi straightener, seeing all walks of life in Las Vegas, how shampoo suds are fake news, buying birthday gifts for your friends that you want to do, the masked magician, the clown egg registry, plus Sudi shares all of her curly hair wisdom.

Jenny & Nicole welcome endlessly entertaining writer, comedian, and content creator (Buzzfeed, HuffPost, UCB) Sarah Burton to the pod!

We get into mammogram logistics, if dating sports mascots makes you a furry, if Jenny should get her real estate license, if Buzzfeed was the peak millenial job, recording TikTok content in your nightshirt, if it's better to be pompous or modest, The Dunning-Kruger effect, scaring your kids with your farts, and which diapers are chic.

Check out Sarah's pod @meanbookclub

Jenny & Nicole welcome actor (Mean Girls, Booger), comedian, and writer/director Sofia Dobrushin to the pod!

We get into Sofia's role in the new movie Booger (in theaters this Friday!), the DJ @ the DNC, warm Caesar salads, dogs being camera shy, if Nicole's babies should be bartenders on WWHL, if trigger warnings can actually trigger people, giving other people the opportunity to change, calling your parents on the school office phone, boiling your tampons, and having art teacher vibes.

Jenny & Nicole welcome hilarious and insightful director, actor, and comedian Gus Heagerty to the pod!

We get into Jenny dressing up her baby as a flapper, the anticipation of arriving at a new persona, being BYO-rollerblade, the pressure of doing the right thing for your birthday, abundance and joy in eating, the chokehold of consumerism, buying objects when you don't get into grad school, consulting TikTok before you make any home decor changes, and who we all are at the Apple Store .

Jenny & Nicole welcome incredible actress (American Fiction, Gayby, Search Party), director and writer (She's Clean) Jenn Harris to the pod!

We get into Succession being spoiled for Nicole, Jenny's final thoughts on Summer House, how women apologize like we're constantly bumping into ghosts, feeling vs. thinking, the emotional health of the community not being your job, sexualizing people 40-70, and if you can wear a leather jacket around your baby.

Jenny & Nicole welcome deliciously talented actor, writer, and tastemaker Patrick Foley to the pod!

We get into Patrick's upcoming ‘Real Housewives’-Inspired Murder Mystery film starring Jennifer Lawrence 'The Wives' (can u believe?!), if Nicole is capable of making stew, forcing yourself to use the treadmill in order to watch Housewives, waking up at 3AM to do therapy with Alex McCord in Australia, if Valerie Cherish is vaccinated, whether Jenny ever fucked in Nicole's bed, being in love with a guy who had a xanga, exfoliation beads getting canceled, and if the internet is a place for vulnerability.

This week it's just us gals!

We get into hot snake wranglers and deep dive into everything Love Island, if we should star in a reality show about Millenial Moms, growing up in a naked house, how trying to entertain your baby is clown school, the myth around medication making you lose the artistic "spark", if your ear is a good gift, and how Nicole is Dr. Dolittle.

Jenny & Nicole welcome hilarious star and iconic actor (Somebody Somewhere, American Horror Story: NYC) Jeff Hiller to the pod!

We get into why we need THE VILLAGE, whether or not Nicole has been to Connecticut, buying abandoned amusement parks off Zillow, Jeff's (legitimately very good) audition tips, why doing standup is good because you don't have to take turns talking, the overlap between bad improv and buttholes, if Wicked is too niche, the gatekeepers of comedy, if real estate agents need to be hot, and being too old for Godspell.

Go see Jeff's show at Joe's Pub in NYC August 12 & 14th!

Jenny & Nicole welcome genius director and filmmaker Doron Max Hagay (SNL, Matt Rogers's Have You Heard of Christmas, Joel Kim Booster's Psychosexual) to the pod!

We get into if we can make prohibition happen again, Jenny's distaste for Ray Romano, when actors get replaced on TV shows, how yearbook is a filmmaker's medium, if Swifties are the new Phishheads, bringing your own trash bag to MSG, not knowing how to rollerskate, what happens when Sour Patch kids owns a house (???), and what vinegars we all are.

Jenny & Nicole welcome powerhouse actor Ronald Peet (Bad Monkey, Jeremy O. Harris's "Daddy") to the pod!

We get into Ronald's turn as one of the stars of the upcoming Apple TV show "Bad Monkey" premiering August 14th, pureeing salmon (GAG), how acting disregulates the nervous system, learning about Zen Buddhism at Border's, how running a marathon makes you the world's most powerful person, the artist as activist, what treats they put in your pocket when you film with a monkey, imagining what it would be like to have a boundary at 18, and the camp of the synchronized swimmer.
