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!

Busy Almost DIED! Oct 26, 2022

Show notes

This week, Busy shares the story of how she had almost died the night before, what flashed before her eyes and what lesson she thinks the Universe was trying to teach her. Caissie talks about a marvelous, extraordinary wedding she attended and how, at that wedding, she failed at her primary directive as a newly minted fashion influencer, but how she made it right a couple days later. Fair warning: there is a lengthy talk about a bad tuna burger that was consumed and the after effects are discussed in vivid detail. Plus, one of the women confesses to having also been banned from a venerated NYC establishment, just like James Corden Kind of.

Nora McInerny Oct 19, 2022

Show notes

This week Busy & Caissie are joined by their friend, host of the “Terrible, Thanks for Asking” podcast & author of the new book “Bad Vibes Only,” Nora McInerny. Nora talks about the death of her first husband, her miscarriage and the loss of her father happening all within a short time, and how her grief and the community she has built has evolved since that time. She and Busy compare notes on many things, including their ADHD diagnoses. Busy & Caissie also discuss celebrity salad gossip, if they should spend several thousand dollars on freeze drying equipment, Busy’s new best friend & a delightful surprise that happened on a night out that wound up being bittersweet because of who wasn’t there by her side. Plus, too bad it’s not a video podcast because Busy recorded a good portion of it just wearing her bra.

Don’t Worry Darlings Sep 07, 2022

Show notes

Busy feels like she is a completely different person since the last time she & Caissie talked & it’s because so many things have happened since then. And most of those things happened at the “Don’t Worry Darling” premiere at the Venice Film Festival. They discuss Harry styles, the beautiful mystery that is Chris Pine, #spitgate, whether they’re happy it pulled focus from the Flo v. O narrative & whether it’s ok to be deeply enjoying this low-stakes celeb gossip bonanza when they abhor other types of celeb gossip. They also discuss Caissie’s bad news/good news situation du jour & whether Busy might need to tweak her meds. Plus how to handle it when you’re sh*tting blood!
