This week, in what might be the funniest episode yet, Molly and Emese are joined by co-stars Amy Schumer and Brianne Howey. They get candid about motherhood, career evolution, and their new film, Kinda Pregnant —which unexpectedly led to Amy’s latest health discovery. Amy opens up about how public criticism led her to uncover her Cushing syndrome diagnosis, what it’s like to navigate comedy and Hollywood as a mom, and the importance of sharing birth stories without shame. Brianne shares how becoming a mother has shifted her perspective on work, how Ginny & Georgia ’s Georgia Miller compares to real-life parenting, and the power of female friendships in the industry. We also go behind the scenes of their new Netflix film, Kinda Pregnant —how Molly first got the script, why Amy and Brianne were drawn to the project, and what it means for women today. Plus, they reflect on their early career struggles, the moment they knew they “made it,” and how motherhood has reshaped their ambitions. From career highs to personal challenges, this episode is raw, funny, and packed with insights.

Join us as we journey through the life of St. Nicholas of Myra, a figure whose acts of kindness and miracles have enshrined him in history as much more than just a festive icon.

We'll discuss how his selfless deeds, like providing secret dowries and calming turbulent seas, have inspired centuries of storytelling and tradition. But that's not all—discover how St. Nicholas's story crossed oceans and cultures to evolve into the beloved Santa Claus we know today. Learn about the journey of his legend from Myra to Bari and eventually to America, where Dutch settlers shared tales of Sinterklaas. As we honor St. Nicholas's feast day on December 6th, celebrate a life that continues to inspire acts of generosity and love across the world.
