Busy Philipps is Doing Her Best

It’s me, your friend Busy Philipps! My creative partner Caissie St. Onge & I love making things that we believe people need & will love & 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 & make even bigger plans to invent a whole new way of doing things in the entertainment biz, to reunite our beautiful staff & 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, & with our friends, we’re just doing our best, taking it slow & 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!

Only This Beautiful Moment with Abdi Nazemian May 04, 2023

Show notes

This week, Busy and Caissie squeezed in an hour of podcasting between Busy’s scenes on set, but when they reconvened to record the rest, decided that first hour sucked and should be tossed out, proving that this podcast does sometimes dabble in quality control.

Then, one of Busy’s besties, TV and film writer and author Abdi Nazemian joins to discuss the writers’ strike, his pivot from screenwriting to novels, and what it’s like to have landed on some banned book lists. Plus, hear all about what happened during the last writers’ strike when Abdi and Busy met Tori Amos.

When We Hit Pause Mar 29, 2023

Show notes

This week, Busy is on-set working and the podcast was supposed to be recorded in two parts, both on Monday. But when she and Caissie hit pause on Part One, they learned about yet another school shooting, this time in Nashville. Part Two became yet another discussion about the feelings of rage American leadership’s impotence on gun reform inspires, plus a repeat airing of their conversation with Shannon Watts from Moms Demand Action that immediately followed the school shooting in Uvalde, Texas less than one year ago. CONTENT WARNING: Discussion of violence, death, loss of a loved one and diet/body issues.
