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!

Jury Duty…Not the Show! Sep 05, 2024

Show notes

This week, the podcast is a teeny bit late because Busy had jury duty, and as it turns out, it was Caissie’s fault! Hear how Busy’s time in court went and what the gossip columns said she was doing at the US Open and with whom. Plus find out how Caissie lost an entire 24 hours of her Labor Day weekend! CONTENT WARNING: Midway through this recording, the hosts received news alerts that there was yet another school shooting. It is frankly shocking the number of times a mass shooting has occurred simultaneously with the recording of this once-weekly podcast, over the past several years. We’re not even talking about the six other days a week and all of the additional mass shootings that have fallen on those days. It does not have to be like this. After pausing the recording, everyone came back to finish the episode, but we are sending all our love to the students at Apalachee High School and the citizens of Winder, Georgia. It. Does Not. Have. To be. Like this.

They discuss the swift rise of Vice President Kamala Harris’ Presidential campaign over just the past few weeks and they offer theories on who she might choose as her running mate, even though they knew we’d probably know who it actually is by now and WE DO!

"Time Capsule 2, Electric Boogaloo" Jul 24, 2024

Show notes

Busy and Caissie are back with more advice for listeners who wrote in to share their personal dilemmas. This episode was previously recorded so that Busy and Caissie could take a little break, and so no reference to the way all hell has broken loose in the world is made during the episode. Hopefully, it will be a pleasant respite from current events.

Well, Busy and Caissie took one week off for the holiday and all hell broke loose. This week, they debate their very complicated feelings about our Democracy, then, as a treat, they discuss a celebrity rumor that’s exploded all over the place and theorize how, if it was true (and they’re not saying it is) and it happened to them, how *they* would have handled it.

The Holly Jolly Squirrel Jun 19, 2024

Show notes

This week has a lot of big themes and threads running through it. Find out what BFF Michelle Williams was urgently calling Busy about at the start of the podcast. And speaking of celebrity friends who met when they were teens, Caissie recaps the Brats documentary and why it might be falling kind of flat for some Gen X Brat Pack fans, which leads to talk about the Rat Pack. And speaking of rodents, Caissie gets to reveal to Busy, live on the pod, that Vulture called their emergency holiday decor preparedness segment with Tina Fey on Busy This Week the second best moment on late night last week! Further, the Vickerman Holly Jolly Squirrel that Tina was enchanted with and took home with her is now SOLD OUT on QVC. Which reinforces the point Tina was trying to make while also bringing us full circle back to why Michelle was calling to begin with.
