    Ep. 90 - It's Giving "Be Gay, Vacay" w/ Jade Begay

    Jana and Brian are joined by environmental strategist Jade Begay (JADED) to talk climate justice, Standing Rock, Native politics, and the very real possibility of launching a queer medical tourism empire.

    Jana and Brian are joined by comedian Dylan Adler to discuss Wasian drama, Japanese and Native wisdom stereotypes, and, of course, gay stuff.

    Ep. 88 - It's Giving Bully a Bully

    Jana and Brian discuss the emotional manipulation of dog TikTok, the terrifying freedom of being single with no responsibilities, and why getting canceled on feels better than receiving flowers. Along the way, they spiral through Beyoncé concert economics, the “burnt toast theory,” gay men motorboating Jana in New York, and the psychological depths of bimbofication via Brian Noem’s alleged balloon t**s. They also advise a listener dealing with bullying siblings by encouraging hobbies, vengeance, and the philosophy that sometimes you really do have to punch a bully in the face.

    Ep. 87 - It's Giving Water Park w/ Blake Pickens

    Jana and Brian are joined by comedian and filmmaker Blake Pickens to discuss Seattle, Native comedy crowds, sleep schedules that signal either wellness or unemployment, and whether couples actually need to live together to be in love.

They give  listener with suspiciously dramatic family drama involving an oil-rich sister and emotionally distant siblings.

    Ep. 86 - It's Giving P-Tox

    Jana and Brian discuss Botox, secret nice apartments, fry bread innovation, and whether human composting is actually the most ethical way to die. Along the way, they unpack whale intelligence, tramp stamp aspirations, and why powdered sugar might secretly be a lethal topping. A listener writes in wondering if they’re too emotionally attached to their cat, and the hosts deliver deeply conflicting advice.  FOR MORE OF US IN YOUR LIFE, BECOME AN OFFICIAL WISE ASS: sagebasedwisdom.supercast.com  Hosts: Jana Schmieding (@janaunplgd) and Brian Bahe (@brian_bahe) Music: Steve Jenkins (@stevejenkins) Producer: John Delviscio (@johndelviscio) Have a question or comment about anything?

    Ep. 85 - It's Giving Magnets

    Jana and Brian are back in their ménage à trois era (you, them, and the listener) and covering everything from Jana’s mysterious upcoming hockey movie to Brian’s road life revelations and questionable wellness choices. They break down a chaotic Instagram reel full of woo-woo advice, debate gratitude lists, and spiral into stories about road rage, touring struggles, and stomach issues. A listener writes in about a hot, age-secretive coworker, and Jana and Brian put their investigative skills to work. Come for the manifestation tips, stay for the emotional vulnerability and deeply unserious wisdom.

    Ep. 84 - It's Giving Basement Shows

    Jana and Brian discuss Brian's travels to NYC for shows and his feelings about being back in the city they both love. Jana spills the tea about basement shows and how every comedian should be grateful for any performance venues. Jana plays an Instagram reel about applying for a job whilst on the rag, and the two give out scholarly advice to a caller.  FOR MORE OF US IN YOUR LIFE, BECOME AN OFFICIAL WISE ASS: sagebasedwisdom.supercast.com  Hosts: Jana Schmieding (@janaunplgd) and Brian Bahe (@brian_bahe) Music: Steve Jenkins (@stevejenkins) Producer: John Delviscio (@johndelviscio) Have a question or comment about anything?

    Ep. 83 - It's Giving Dry Chicken w/ Marcella Arguello

    Jana, Brian, and special guest Marcella Arguello (Bitch, Grow Up, Abbott Elementary) get into everything from the chaos of comedy touring to the very real question of whether LA is still “the place” to be. Marcella shares why she left California for Chicago and how stepping away from the industry grind created space for clarity, growth, and better comedy, while the group spirals (productively) through celebrity culture, TikTok advice, and why everyone is, at their core, just a little nosy. A caller asks about making a Choctaw vampire hunter spin-off connected to Sinners which gives us a deep dive in commentary on how projects actually get made and the gap between audience ideas vs. industry reality. The conversation turns inward with a surprisingly honest dive into therapy, relationships, and the difference between hearing advice and actually doing the work. Plus some classic Sage-Based Wisdom chaos about dry chicken diets, watchtower alter egos, and who in the friend group is actually contributing to the village. They determine: Your environment matters more than you think, most people already know what they should do but avoid doing it, and real growth usually looks like making uncomfortable changes. Move cities, find the right therapist, or finally season your damn food.
