We Digress with Joi and Jess

We're back with Season 4, and it's a doozy! Lots of life changes for the girls and lots of fun stuff to look forward to. Let's catch up and get back into the swing of the shenanigans with Joi and Jess.

It's raining, it's pouring, it's a new year and our last episode of the season! We've got updates on Joi's mansplaining saga, and our dreams for 2023, and as a reminder, we are still taking applications for the role of Joi's Knight in Shining Armor. Please send your resume and a recent photo to [email protected].

For our penultimate episode of Season 3, we're bringing out all the stops! This episode has everything: exploding turkeys, setting your hair on fire, David Alan Grier.

It's a Very Special Christmas Episode this week on We Digress with Joi and Jess (cue '80s theme song).

BREAKING NEWS: Women know stuff. We understand that this is a groundbreaking revelation to some insecure menfolk, but don't worry, we'll all get through this together. Also, there's a possibility Jess' Great Aunt was in the mob in Vegas, and we take a very important detour to hype our girl, Joi. (Did you know she's sung with the Stone Temple Pilots? Don't worry...it was brand new info for Jess, too).
