Back 2 Skool

Welcome to the last episode of Season One! We are going on a little hiatus while Ashley starts a new job and May moves. In this episode we discuss horror movies, public transportation, and completely fall apart at the end when our internet fails us. Do the last five minutes make sense? No. Can we hear each other? At times, but ultimately no. Did we have fun? You bet your ass we did. Thank you for listening and we'll see you in November!

In the second part of our 2-part JOBS series, Ashley and May talk about all the jobs we've had since we started comedy (AC). And there have been a LOT. From telling jokes in a bathtub, to selling tomatoes at the farmer’s market, to napping in illegal schools, to being the face of cleaning products, and beyond. Also, we discussed how May used to pick fights with Mormons, why we’ve both cried in a lot of restaurant bathrooms, and the time Ashley got laid off a job for being too funny (and another time involving pizza). We also dropped some juicy sibling recs that MIGHT change your life (or at least help you get to work on time). Thank you for listening, please remember to subscribe, drop us a rating and a review, and to never spill a piña colada on a businessman! He won't like it!

Not to brag, but we have both had a LOT of jobs. In Part 1 of our 2-part jobs episode, we are talking about all the jobs we had from our teen years up until we started comedy -- from lawless movie theaters to the world's top comedy club to radical publishing houses, from waiting tables to selling perfume to babysitting for narc children (guess which job paid in cigarettes?). We talk about our favorite and least favorite work environments, getting fired for gross incompetence, and why Julia Cameron's The Artists Way is the reason we aren't living in Park Slope and married to architects -- and more! Also, Ashley has a grocery shopping hack, and May thinks you should be using Google maps to creep on your loved ones. If you enjoy this episode, please remember to subscribe, drop us a rating and a review, and to ALWAYS lie on your resume. Thanks for listening!

Liz Magee is a TV writer, comedian, our close friend, and without her, this podcast might not exist?! She joined us to talk all about love, weddings, people pleasing, breaking unhealthy relationship patterns, her wild origin story, family secrets, the life-changing truth bomb dropped on her at age 12 during a game of water balloons, Florida, Santa Claus, and more! Also, Ashley cares about your ear health, and May wants you to say "thank you" to your dog/cat/cow.

Birthdays, like Bubba Gump Shrimp, bring us all together! But they can also be stressful and complicated and lead to a 2-day hangover. In honor of Ashley's birthday this week, we talked about the ups and downs of celebrating yourself, shared our best and worst bday stories, and learned some facts about the history of birthdays. We also discussed Anatomy of a Fall, why chain restaurants > fine dining, and the time Ashley was falsely accused of being a witch. Plus, May "went to Japan" by watching a gay reality show and Ashley discovered Margaritaville's best-kept secret.

This week we have comedian, writer, and all-star friend Natasha Vaynblat on the show! We talk growing up as an only child, apartment complexes, and how to really stick it to your live in enemy (Uncle). We get DEEP into the topic of reproduction. Who should do it? Who wants to do it? Should we all just be “Childless Freaks”? Plus, we introduce a new segment for the pod and May tells us the wrong way to shave our legs. Thank you for listening!

Jasmine Pierce is a comedian and writer of TV shows you have definitely seen. She joined us to talk about her early years as an only child before she became a sibling and how it affected her creatively, socially, and emotionally. We also talked about: autism and ADHD, making friends online (and off), finding your people, doing "THE WORK," and a space cake-fueled fight in an Amsterdam hotel room that only one of us remembers - and more! We didn't want this episode to end! Plus, Ashley is in her melon era, and May is having a couch girl summer.

This week we're sharing everything we're watching, buying, searching for, and injecting into our hearts and minds this summer, because that's what big sisters do. Ashley and May are spilling our summer recs and they range from seashell swag to fanny packs to Gay Pride. Plus, one of us doesn’t really understand how summer recs work. And the other might have accidentally joined a high-end candle cult. Special shoutouts to the beach, Ashley’s flight attendant, and the hard working crew at Disneyland. Thank you for listening!
