This episode was recorded on New Year’s Eve… after some wine…in that strange liminal space when reflection, chaos, and questionable judgment all collide.Selene was convinced it sucked. So convinced, in fact, that she nearly didn’t release it at all.

But then she listened back.

And (after hours of editing,lol) it didn’t suck.

So here it is.

This episode covers a lot of territory—a dazzling array of topics, really. There’s something for everyone. Think of it as a conversational Golden Corral: you may not know what you’re coming for, but you’ll definitely leave full.

Selene and Pascale bounce effortlessly between laugh-out-loud moments and more contemplative turns, touching on their very different opinions about Pennywise the sewer clown, psychics who sucked (and one whose prediction Selene based her life on), New Jersey boobage, and the singular betrayal of discovering—after eating—that a restaurant is cash only.

Along the way, Selene finds Jesus in Five Below and flashes back (once again) to the childhood trauma inflicted by an old McCloud episode. The besties discuss cultural artifacts that somehow lodge themselves permanently in the brain, and wonder if texting may be quietly destroying civilization. There are riffs on social-media comment sections, human behavior, corrupted symbols, belief, grief, and why meaning is so slippery—especially at the end of a year.

Somehow, this episode also includes a callback to Ryan Seacrest and Selene's continued bewilderment and outrage of his over-the-top endorsements of Chumba. Funny, reflective, provocative, and unmistakably Life in Jest, this episode is a sampler platter of thoughts, stories, and tangents—served with humor, honesty, and just enough wine.

Press play. It doesn't suck.
