3x20 - Rapid Fire: The episode where ChatGPT asks the questions… What Could Go Wrong? Jul 17, 2025

Show notes

This week, Brian and Sharna put each other in the hot seat for a Rapid Fire round you won’t see coming. But here’s the twist: they let ChatGPT come up with the questions - based on what you (the listeners) would probably want to ask. It’s fast, hilarious, and nothing is off-limits. From “If Sharna were a dog, what breed would she be?” to what gets Brian in the mood, plus the wardrobe malfunction that had New York calling it nipple gate. Throw in a debate over who’s the better driver, and we’re still wondering: did anyone end up sleeping on the couch that night? Hit play for big laughs, surprising confessions, and a Rapid Fire round that goes completely off the rails.

Life lately has been anything but quiet for Brian and Sharna. In this episode of Oldish, Brian shares what it was like filming a movie in Spain, why this role became one of his most enjoyable to date, and what makes this project feel different from anything he’s done before. Back home, Sharna is still buzzing from the incredible surprise 40th birthday party Brian planned (and let’s just say… he nailed it). But the biggest surprise of all? She found it waiting for her in their kitchen, a moment she’ll never forget. Of course, nothing’s off limits here. They even share the real story behind Brian’s vasectomy, with all the unfiltered honesty and humor you’d expect. And for the Dancing With The Stars fans, Sharna spills some behind-the-scenes tea you don’t want to miss. It’s funny, heartfelt, and full of the kind of raw moments that remind us why we love them. This is an episode of Oldish you won’t want to miss.

What if the key to feeling more grounded wasn’t changing your life, but changing how you communicate?
In this Life Lately episode of the Oldish podcast, Randy and Sharna sit down to reflect on the emotional rhythms of summer and the quiet shifts happening behind the scenes.
Sharna shares how, as she’s gotten older, she’s become more aware of the way she communicates, and how choosing honesty and clarity, especially in conversations with Brian, has created more ease and flow in her day-to-day life.
Together, Randy and Sharna explore the small but powerful ways we can show up for ourselves and each other when emotions run high, and the reminder that no matter who you are, we all need space to speak and someone willing to truly listen.

3x13 - Breaking Rules, Taking Risks, Closing Gaps: Shelley Zalis on Fighting for Equal Pay Jun 23, 2025

Show notes

134 Years to Close the Gap? Not on Her Watch.
Shelley Zalis isn’t waiting around for equality to catch up, and she doesn’t think you should either.
She’s the powerhouse behind The Female Quotient and creator of The Equality Lounge, global platforms that have redefined what it means for women to lead, connect, and rise together. Dubbed the “Chief Troublemaker,” Shelley has spent decades shaking up industries, from founding a multimillion-dollar tech research company to challenging gender bias at the highest levels of business and media.
In this episode, Brian, Sharna, and Randy sit down with Shelley to talk about the emotional cost of the gender gap, how far we’ve come (and how far we still have to go), and if we keep going the way we have been it could take up to 134 years to close the pay gap globally - unless we do something about it.
From boardrooms to parenting, ambition to allyship, Shelley brings hard truth, humor, and a blueprint for equity that’s as bold as it is overdue.
