Sami Sage Wants You To Try Stuff

It’s Mean But Truesday, and we needed this episode and these laughs, tbh. It only makes the MOST sense ever to have Sami Sage join the pod! Sami is the co-founder of Betches Media; the biggest and most powerful humor platform for women. She runs Betches News, the Morning Announcements podcast, and is the co-author of the book Democracy in Retrograde. In this episode, we cover a lot of ground, including the Beckham family drama, why everyone is trying to cancel the Glambot guy, and Sami’s advice for working successfully with friends. Plus, Suzanne sets the record straight on some of y’all switching up your NSYNC narrative.

Adam Rippon Believes in Whole Milk

Happy holidays! How lucky are we to celebrate with THE Adam Rippon?! You could say Adam is busy: winning a bronze Olympic medal for figure skating at the 2018 Olympics, winning Dancing With the Stars, writing his book Beautiful on the Outside, hosting his podcast Intrusive Thoughts, opening his medspa (coming soon!), and being free of inhibitions at the grocery store. In this episode, we talk about the ideal career path for Catholics (sainthood) and why it didn’t pan out for us; a few of the most important it girls of our time (Miss Clavel, JonBenet Ramsey, and Amelia Bedelia, to name a few); and what Adam’s book and the Book of Mormon have in common.
