Listen "Ep. 63 - It’s Giving Cancel The Holidays w/ Amy Silverberg"
Episode Synopsis
Jana and Brian welcome writer/comedian/professor Amy Silverberg (Comedy Central, Hulu, JFL, Amazon Prime, Don’t Tell) and author of her debut novel “First Time, Long Time,” for an episode that ricochets from news-anchor bloopers to Krampus Christmas lore. A deep dive on the iconic Grape Lady video spirals into internet nostalgia, Thanksgiving chaos, and why canceling the holidays for “political reasons” is actually just good self-care. Amy unpacks the toll of teaching Gen Z, Brian reveals the WeHo gym hookup that turned out to be Amy’s former boss, and Jana shares her secret bad-girl origin story. This week’s caller asks how to speak up confidently in grad school without shrinking herself in rooms full of “smart people.”FOR MORE OF US IN YOUR LIFE, BECOME AN OFFICIAL WISE ASS: sagebasedwisdom.supercast.com Hosts: Jana Schmieding (@janaunplgd) and Brian Bahe (@brian_bahe)Guest: Amy Silverberg (@amysilverberg)Music: Steve Jenkins (@stevejenkins)Producer: John Delviscio (@johndelviscio)Have a question or comment about anything?
