Busy Philipps is Doing Her Best

SuChin Pak

This week, Busy &amp; Caissie are hanging out with guest co-host, Ashley Ray, whose standup is currently being featured on HBO Max’s Queer Comedy Showcase “Human By Orientation” &amp; they’re all doing their best in their own ways. Topics include: hosting THE party of the half century, how to get hotel upgrades using psychological tactics, meat etiquette, cocaine, Ellen Pompeo, DIY haircuts AND MORE! Then, former MTV news personality &amp; current co-host of the Webby Award-winning “Add to Cart” podcast, SuChin Pak joins the women to talk about how she handled a huge pivot that she faced early in her career &amp; how recent violence against the AAPI community brought up unresolved feelings from that time for her. Then Busy &amp; Caissie get very real about how important it is to sometimes say you have something important to do when you’re really just hiding from everyone in your room.

It's me, your friend Busy Philipps! My creative partner Caissie St. Onge &amp; I love making things that we believe people need &amp; will love &amp; we’ve had so many plans. We had plans to do a TV show that would shake up late night! And we think it kinda did! For six months. We adored our genius, scrappy creative team at “Busy Tonight” as much as we loved our audience, so when we broke the news that we’d been canceled, we vowed to get back up &amp; make even bigger plans to invent a whole new way of doing things in the entertainment biz, to reunite our beautiful staff &amp; change the game for everyone! An entertainment Utopia! And we were so close, then...the world changed. Now those plans are, at the very least, on hold. So, we've shifted gears, like everyone has had to, &amp; with our friends, we're just doing our best, taking it slow &amp; talking to fascinating friends about how *they* are doing *their* best. They’ll tell us all about those times in their lives when a setback actually led to the right thing. Maybe it was a job that didn't pan out, but opened the door to an even more perfect one, or maybe it's how they studied for years to do the thing they thought was their calling, only to fall into something else that felt like kismet. The thing is, we want to share those moments because right now EVERYBODY is having one of those moments. Maybe we'll all learn something life-changing or maybe we'll just have a conversation where we break down in tears, then laugh at ourselves for crying. Whatever happens, we can assure you, Busy Philipps is Doing Her Best!
