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.

Was lucky to get a quick chat with the brilliant Wesley Taylor (ROCK OF AGES, SUMMONING SYLVIA, ONLY MURDERS IN THE BUILDING) and boy is this a great episode. We talked origins and the plucky certainty of hurtling towards your destiny vs the chaotic drifting that often leads talented minds to the same place. We talked about the ever fascinating multi-hyphenate so many chase and the asterisk that comes next to your name as you give advice from a place of success. Miss this one at your own foolish peril.
