Busy Philipps is Doing Her Best

But now we all do & it is reason to celebrate, even if it’s with a podcast title that doesn’t necessarily reflect the content of the podcast. What IS in the episode? Well, Busy explains how she completely forgot about the month of August, how she got boned in a dress deal, and how being non-separated from your future ex-husband can be a challenge, especially at lunch time. She also reveals what it was like shooting a TV show episode as her kid’s co-star. Caissie shares that she might have bought a bad car & names names on who sold it to her, then belatedly offers an analysis of what she feels would have made “House of Gucci” a better film.

As Busy prepares to go off to “crying camp” she and Caissie reflect on how they did their best despite the heaviness this week has carried, but also how much lighter they both are feeling.

Busy & Caissie are doing their best, but, not gonna lie, it’s been a rough several days…in our world, in our country and in Busy’s flooded basement. However, this episode’s guest appearance is rare and special. Once in a lifetime, really. This week marks 7 years since Joan Rivers has been gone and, by chance, Caissie recently found a long-lost interview she recorded with Joan, her friend and mentor and colleague, ten years ago, in 2011. In it, she discusses some pretty important pivots, which is prophetic considering this podcast wasn’t even conceived yet. Joan discusses her feud with Johnny Carson, what she really thought of Donald Trump’s Presidential aspirations at that time, who her celebrity BFFS are and who wrote the note she carried around in her bra for years. It’s pretty magical to hear from her again. (Thank you to Melissa Rivers for giving her blessing to publish this recording.)
