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!

    You Don’t Have to Get Over It…

    You Don’t Have to Get Over It…

    This week, Busy is shooting her dream role in “Mean Girls: The Musical” movie, but she has just as much drama going on off-camera and she’s letting it all out. Literally. Caissie shares her theory that the tendency to wear tops with no pants is genetic. And they both weren’t really feeling celebratory about International Women’s Day this year, considering…y’know, everything.

    It’s a Whale Watch, Not a Whale Show

    This week, Busy and Caissie have returned from their mini-tour and are back in their respective homes. Busy has had a couple of uncomfortable confrontations in New York City and Caissie is considering a unique funeral service for her mother. Busy shares a memory of something miraculous she once had the privilege of witnessing and Caissie wonders if anyone remembers the time Ryan Seacrest fell through a glass table.

    Eugene Mirman, Lou Barlow & Will Dailey

    Eugene Mirman, Lou Barlow & Will Dailey

    This week, Busy and Caissie are visiting Boston, dressed in their finest interpretations of “J Lo Goes to Dunkin Donuts” and chatting with their friend, comedian and star of Bob’s Burgers, Eugene Mirman, about what it’s like to play what is basically a cartoon version of yourself if you were a child. The pivot he shares is heartbreaking but also imbued with so much love. Joining the stage is friend of the pod, Lou Barlow, from the bands Dinosaur Jr., Sebadoh and The Folk Implosion, to play one of Busy’s all-time favorite songs, “Too Pure.” And, as if that weren’t enough, Boston musician Will Dailey comes out to do a duet with Biz, but before he does, he plays a cover of a song in honor of orphans everywhere that’s gonna make you cry like Caissie did.

    Phoebe Robinson & Ted Leo - live in NJ!

    Phoebe Robinson & Ted Leo - live in NJ!

    This week, Busy and Caissie are live in beautiful Newark, New Jersey talking to their friend, the great Phoebe Robinson, about so many things, including UFOs, dating drug dealers, is it okay to fart during an energy healing and whether something Phoebe once read about Leonardo DiCaprio is acceptable or not. And everyone freaks out over the fact that Pheebs is friends with Bono. Then, New Jersey’s own Ted Leo joins the fun, serenading Phoebe with one of her bestie’s hits, then playing a couple of his own bangers before leading the group in an attempted tribute to Burt Bacharach.

    BPIDHB LIVE! From San Francisco

    This week, Busy and Caissie are doing the podcast live from the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco! The theme of dress is sequins. Comedian, and the podcast’s most name dropped friend in history, Paul F. Tompkins joins the women for a wide ranging discussion that touches on everything from whether a horse can help anyone in an emergency to whether rocks are an effective messaging system. Then, Zach and Jon, members of the band Rogue Wave, play a couple of tunes before Busy joins them and things get heavy.

    Trigger Warning: This episode contains references violence, death and disordered eating

    This week, Busy and Caissie are mourning the death of Tyre Nichols at the hands of police and share why they believe policing must change now. In lighter news, they discuss MrBeast’s latest video where he pays for surgery that restores sight for 1000 people. They touch on this week’s controversy surrounding Caissie’s favorite TikTok makeup guru, Mikayla, and her mascara ad, plus everyone gloating that Marie Kondo admitted her house is a little messy now. Then, actor, comedian, writer and producer Adam Pally (“Happy Endings” and “The Mindy Project”) stops by to talk about his new movie, “Who Invited Charlie?” (In theaters and on-demand Friday) plus the rare beauty of vulnerable and kind male friendship. His Hollywood pivot story, by the way, will make your jaw drop.
