This week on Night School, Kristin Chirico returns and we cover Jesse’s magician update, including getting an invite to the exclusive, members-only club the Magic Castle in Hollywood. We then get into the Palantir CEO delivering one of the most unsettling interviews of all time while everyone politely pretended it was normal. From there, we talk Australia banning social media for kids under 16, why the internet is both a lifeline and a psychological hazard, and why blanket solutions won’t fix the broader societal issues creating unsafe environments for children. We unpack Quentin Tarantino crash out over Paul Dano and Art Basel turning Zuckerberg, Elon, and Bezos into robotic dogs pooping AI images, proving once again that power is temporary, ego is fragile, and art is eternal.
For our 50th episode, we’re joined by our comedian big sister Blair Socci. We cover everything from starting standup in New York versus LA, navigating comedy scenes, dating while trying to build a career, and what it means to pursue this career with sincerity while still having a life worth living. Blair walks us through her post-show grounding practices, her Aquaphor-first skincare philosophy, growing up in Southern California, and the very specific challenges of being a sensitive person in an industry that demands both toughness and vulnerability.
This episode moves through comedy, dating, mental health, identity, creative purpose, late-night adrenaline crashes, Hinge profiles, family, and the unexpected ways we evolve as artists. It’s honest, funny, emotional, and deeply human — the perfect energy for our fiftieth episode.

We open with a full breakdown of Jesse’s situationship — therapy boy, Scorpio red flags, read-receipt crimes, and the debate over whether Pisces men are actually demons. Then the chaos escalates into smell confessions (who smells good vs. who thinks they smell good), celebrity crush delusion spirals (Adam Driver?? Johnny Knoxville???), and accidental racial allegations because someone said “David Harbour.”Then comes the investigative journalism moment of the episode: Stella and Jesse try to figure out if they’re actually Eskimo sisters. Names get dropped, timelines get reconstructed, and both of them swear they remember completely different versions of reality — but one thing is clear: the math is mathing. THEN we pla
Riley returns for her second episode run!! Jesse and the squad dive into chaos with a mix of gender politics, pop culture, and maybe some sexual tension?? From debating the modern “male loneliness epidemic” and redefining what it means to be a “guy in name only” to unfiltered talk about gynecologist visits, viral DMs, and the fine line between confidence and delusion, this episode goes everywhere. They spiral from Don Draper fantasies and internet trolls to Walton Goggins’ hairline, celebrity conspiracies, and the unholy overlap between sex, power, and attention in Hollywood. Add in a baby shower meet-cute gone wrong, burner Instagrams, and a debate about whether bombing on stage can be self-care.

From managing creators in the wildest corners of the internet to debating who’s a “manic pixie dream girl,” Episode 47 of Night School is equal parts chaos and clarity. Sawyer Gilley brings razor-sharp insight and unfiltered honesty about fame, identity, and what it really means to sell authenticity online. The crew dives into everything from UC Santa Cruz’s trailer-park campus life to karaoke nights gone too far (featuring Bree’s legendary Super Bass), the psychology of people-pleasing, and the art of letting go of control.
* REUPLOAD. Spotify took it down** Love, chaos, and karaoke collide in the latest episode of Night School. What starts as a casual conversation turns into a full-blown intervention after Stella makes a shocking confession and the group refuses to let it slide. From unpacking why we chase emotionally unavailable partners to debating what it really means to “have it all together” before finding love, the crew dives deep into self-worth, boundaries, and the messy truths behind modern dating. Jesse is completely gone but shares a hysterical recounting of her seizure at school and why her dad won't watch her standup. Along the way, they touch on Mean Girls references, pretty privilege, old flames, karaoke chaos, and the fantasy of being “chosen.” It’s part therapy, part comedy, and entirely unfiltered — 100% Night School.

From deep dives on the burnout behind podcasts, brand integrity, Buzzfeed tea, and friendship in business — Kristin Chirico returns and she's not holding ANYTHING back. We talk about leading with honesty online, when “doing the right thing” costs you, unethical brand deals, our parents' marriages, and how we’d fix politics (spoiler: it involves Love Island). Plus: braces, BetterHelp, Taylor Swift, and debating which U.S. presidents were the hottest and least problematic.

This week, the girls get real about chaotic sorority hazing, female politics, and the unwritten rules of friendship. They revisit core memories of facing mean girls, unpack how competition shows up in adult female friendships, and laugh through lessons on loyalty, ego, and growing up.

Bree shares a life update, plus, Jesse drops a confession that might change the way you see her love life — and what she’s willing to risk for the bit.
