That’s the sentence that sends Jen and Cat into a full blown melt down. “They” meaning the powers that be- and “miss everything” is well- YOUR LIFE and how as adults we forget to PLAY! It’s a fun, thought provoking, important and quite touching conversation that brings Jen to tears.

Jen and Cat sit down for an unforgettable two-part conversation with the one and only Christina Applegate.

Did life turn out the way you thought it would?

This question sparks a deeply honest and beautifully raw conversation—about life, grief, identity, and what happens when everything changes.

From Jen and Christina reminiscing about the days of filming Samantha Who? to a chat about what it really means to face a life that you didn’t see coming. Christina opens up about navigating her MS diagnosis, dealing with the rage, the grief—in such an honest way that is so refreshing that it gives not only her permission to just be, but others as well. That is living rebelliously with all the glory, the joy and the anger. That’s why Christina will always be one of our favorite rebels.

Who would you be? Do you even know? COULD you ever know. This is the essence of what Jen and Cat will try so hard to unravel in this pod and many episodes to come? We look at how deeply conditioned we all are and how we go about finding our true voice. Oh yeah, and vagina- the drinking game. Come play!

Jen and Cat welcomed poet, speaker, author, recording artist and all around remarkable human, Azure Antoinette into the studio. We talk family, the generational pain of not living one’s artist truth, the influence of music, Shakespeare (yeah that guy), doing it because of “the feeling,” the Med Tech App she created and built, and the poem that started it all, Instructions for a Body by Marty McConnell… 

“…Speak or let the maker take back your throat.
March or let the creator rescind your feet.
Dream or let your god destroy your good and fertile mind.
This is your warning.
This your birthright.
Do not let this universe regret you.”

On this episode of REBEL[LIOUS] Jen and Cat have the privilege to talk with Anna Malaika Tubbs, two-time New York Times bestselling author and multidisciplinary expert on current & historical understandings of race, gender, and equity. We cover a LOT - the complete definition of American patriarchy, the mothers who raised civil rights icons, how absolutely everything comes back to storytelling — for us as individuals and for entire nations, and so much more… We were too absorbed in the conversation to take the time to dance but what we lacked in dance we definitely gained in hope!

From the cracked pavement of an Italian neighbourhood on the outskirts of the neon pulse of Toronto’s underground to the grapevines of Niagara... Jen and Cat sit down with the brothers of 80 EMPIRE, Adrian (“Sir Analog”) and Lucas (“Sir Digital”) Rezza. These guys are not only the coolest, they're the kindest with talent that is unmatched. We talk about the family business of music, making art no matter what, turning pain into poetry, fatherhood, their unforgettable dance moves at the FRESH KILLS after party and their latest album, A Galactic Love Supreme. Check it out. And turn the volume up. 

The way we choose to take care of ourselves in a system designed to profit off our sickness is an act of rebellion. Jen and Cat will be sitting down each month with renowned M.D. Patrick Fratellone in a new segment: REBEL[LIOUS] HEALTH. In our first episode with Dr. Fratellone we talk everything from seeing the body holistically to not ignoring the importance of your gut to the curious healing power of bees! Yes, buzz buzz. We also get the origin story of how Jen first met Patrick and how simply hearing led to healing.  

Jen & Cat sit down with Sarah De Donato, founder + creative director of DAME STUDIOS. Sarah is an amazing human and one of the producers/collaborators who has helped make this idea for a podcast a reality. Along with other amazing humans... producer, Naomi Hogarty, and engineer, Natalie Decicco. Without their support in the booth Jen and Cat would just be talking to themselves. As usual. There are good people out there who want to help. We've been fortunate enough to find some of them and our show wouldn't be possible without them. Find your people and make things! Oh, and tune in to our REBEL AFTER HOURS on PATREON to find out what Cate Blanchett smells like. Allegedly. 

Side hustles, a sex hotline, a sex hotline as a side hustle, travel, perspective, identity, dogs, gay tequila, voicemails from Rebellious listeners, and the ever pressing question.... "Do I even OWN a big enough vase?" Jen and Cat unpack it all. While drinking. So pour yourself one too and tune in.
