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.

Jeremiah Benson, a former commercial plumber turned real estate investor, shared his inspiring journey on a podcast, explaining how he transitioned from a traditional W-2 career to entrepreneurship. Raised in a blue-collar family, Jeremiah spent 16 years in the plumbing industry, gradually realizing he wanted more from life than the daily grind. Motivated by personal development podcasts and a desire for financial independence, he started exploring real estate investing. When workplace toxicity pushed him out of his comfort zone, he took the leap, tapping into his 401(k) and betting on his ability to succeed.
