1 Amy Schumer & Brianne Howey on the Importance of Female Friendships, Navigating Hollywood's Double Standards, Sharing Their Birth Stories, and MORE 50:05
This week, in what might be the funniest episode yet, Molly and Emese are joined by co-stars Amy Schumer and Brianne Howey. They get candid about motherhood, career evolution, and their new film, Kinda Pregnant —which unexpectedly led to Amy’s latest health discovery. Amy opens up about how public criticism led her to uncover her Cushing syndrome diagnosis, what it’s like to navigate comedy and Hollywood as a mom, and the importance of sharing birth stories without shame. Brianne shares how becoming a mother has shifted her perspective on work, how Ginny & Georgia ’s Georgia Miller compares to real-life parenting, and the power of female friendships in the industry. We also go behind the scenes of their new Netflix film, Kinda Pregnant —how Molly first got the script, why Amy and Brianne were drawn to the project, and what it means for women today. Plus, they reflect on their early career struggles, the moment they knew they “made it,” and how motherhood has reshaped their ambitions. From career highs to personal challenges, this episode is raw, funny, and packed with insights.

Join us for a compelling conversation with Dr. James Lindsay, an American author and mathematician known for his outspoken criticism of critical race theory. We unpack his unique upbringing in a secular, non-political household, enriched by both Catholic values and cultural influences like "The Simpsons," and how these shaped his perspective on modern ideological movements.

Join Real Clear Wilfred Reilly Books Political scientist Professor Wilfred Riley of Kentucky State University returns to Real Clear to share his unique insights into the recent U.S. presidential election. We explore why Kamala Harris's defeat was more about her own campaign missteps, lackluster appeal, and public speaking challenges rather than the oversimplified ideological explanations often touted. Diving into the Democratic Party's challenges, we question whether "woke" ideology and the decision to back Kamala Harris without a primary challenge were strategic missteps. Could a centrist figure like Joe Manchin have shifted the tide? We dig into the intricacies of race and gender politics, particularly the pivotal role of the black male vote, and consider whether a pivot to more centrist policies might better serve the Democrats in future elections. We also scrutinize Donald Trump's governance style and the importance of assembling a competent leadership team. Comparing Trump's past reliance on controversial figures with the need for experienced advisors, we assess his recent proposals on tariffs and taxes and their potential impact. Join us for a thought-provoking conversation that challenges conventional wisdom and explores practical paths forward for both parties. Support the show…

Join me, Lucas Klein, on the Real Clear Podcast as we unravel the intricate dynamics between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump with just hours to go before the nation heads to the polls. With Trump holding an edge in the latest Vegas odds and statistical predictions, the battle for Pennsylvania emerges as both candidates' ultimate litmus test. Through in-depth analysis, we scrutinize possible electoral outcomes, including the prospect of a 269-269 electoral tie, and ponder how key swing states like Wisconsin and Michigan could tip the scale. As the nation stands polarized, the stakes have never been higher, and Pennsylvania's role as a potential kingmaker is undeniable.

Harris’s team grapples with maintaining momentum amid Biden's controversial remarks and the weight of her vice-presidential legacy, while Trump navigates the fallout from his inflammatory statements that often spark media controversy.

Comparing Trump and Harris, we explore the public's weariness of Trump's antics and yet how Harris's interviews have unexpectedly cast him in a more articulate light. We question the Democratic Party's strategic decisions, pondering the potential advantages of alternative candidates and why Harris's absence from key events like the Al Smith dinner may have reinforced negative perceptions.

Tune in as we discuss what this means for us and our leaders, and whether a happy medium is possible. Now, let's shift gears and discover how staying active takes on a new dimension with Mark Furman, a 65-year-old adventurer who completed a phenomenal 6,800-mile kayak tour from Canada to Florida without taking a single day off. His awe-inspiring journey, spanning 68 grueling days and 1,643 hours, had one goal – to raise money for Doctors Without Borders and Captains Without Borders. Don’t miss out on this fascinating story that exemplifies the power of endurance and dedication. Happy listening! https://www.mark-ervin.com/ Support the show…
As your host, I've just borne witness to the unsettling power of big tech censorship, and I'm here to share my experience. I attempted to promote one of our more significant episodes, featuring esteemed guest Dr. Stanley Goldfarb, only to be strangely classified by Google as 'presidential election news'. Dr. Goldfarb, an eminent medical doctor and academic, joined us for an insightful exploration into the worrisome effects of DEI initiatives on medical education. However, our attempts to shed light on these issues were quashed by Google, marking a chilling turn into an Orwellian world. Now more than ever, we need your support to continue providing compelling content.

Dr. Jaquish challenges the mainstream push for vegan nutrition by the American Medical Association and the CDC. He sheds light on the silent crisis of suppressed testosterone levels due to western nutrition habits, igniting a conversation on the need for physicians knowledgeable in both nutrition and physical medicine. We then unravel the controversial web of government involvement in the food industry, exposing the potential dangers of a high-carbohydrate diet. Ever considered the truth you'd rather not confront when it comes to your food choices? Dr. Jaquish helps us question the comfort lies we’ve been fed by the food industry, as we explore the benefits of a carnivore-based diet in reducing triglyceride spiking and the potential risk of stroke or cardiac incidents. But, can discipline be cultivated to stick to such a diet amidst the temptation of carb-heavy foods? Dr. Jaquish brings to light how his unique approach with Primal results in lower costs and better health outcomes while sharing about his innovative businesses, Primal Medical, Jaquish Biomedical, and Osteostrong.

In our latest episode, we shine a spotlight on these audacious retail thefts, particularly the recent incident at San Francisco's Nordstrom. As we unpack the shocking response, or rather the lack of it, from law enforcement due to California's laws preventing interference with thefts under $900, you'll be riveted. We also dissect the dire implications of an undermanned police force, the surging anti-police sentiment, and the socio-economic impacts of businesses closing down.

SUBSCRIBE TO REAL CLEAR Today, we're ripping open the veil on the irony-laden world of misguided 'anti-racist' initiatives. We're questioning the output, or lack thereof, from Professor Ibram X Kendi's heavily funded Center for Anti-Racist Research, and examining the subsequent impacts on communities that these movements aimed to uplift. We're shining a light on the intersection of corporate wokeness, escalating crime rates, and the aftermath of redefined policing and criminology paradigms. Here's a promise - by the end of this episode, you'll gain a fresh perspective on the future implications of this movement, and perhaps feel a glimmer of hope for a collective return to sanity. We're going to analyze how corporate giants like Target, who endorsed these movements, are now facing the brunt of their consequences. We'll also predict a wave of 'amnestic disorders' where previous proponents of the movement will deny their involvement. Support the show…

SUBSCRIBE TO REAL CLEAR! Strap in as we embark on an unflinching journey through the collective psychosis currently gripping American culture. As a clinical psychologist and psychoanalyst, I bring my expertise to bear as we dissect the pervasive irrationality and rise of severe personality disorders shaping our public discourse. We confront the harsh realities of this cultural landscape, including the frightful prospect of individuals facing prison time for speaking their minds. We're not just talking about these problems, though. We're asking the hard questions and challenging you to stand up against the insanity infiltrating our communities. What's at stake if we stay silent? How are the actions of mentally ill activists pushing political movements affecting our society? And most importantly, how can we bring back rational, empirical discussions to combat the progressive and reactionary decay?

Dr. Klein engages in wrong -think for a great rant! Prepare to have your perspective shifted as we expose the harsh realities of illegal immigration in the United States. We're pulling back the curtain on how it impacts our economy, our communities, and your bottom line. We scrutinize the financial ramifications of prisons, the border wall, and highlight the alarming crime statistics within immigrant communities. We're uncovering the uncomfortable truth about how illegal immigration does, in fact, victimize other members of the Hispanic community, and the political implications that come with funding this ongoing crisis. Our discourse steers next towards the heated border catastrophe, touching on the necessity of unfiltered speech, even when it’s from influential figures like Elon Musk. Support the show…
What if I told you that a new policy in Pennsylvania could dramatically impact future elections in the United States? Hold that thought because there's more. Pennsylvania just announced a policy to link voter registration with driver's license applications. This policy could hike voter turnout in favor of Democrats, particularly given Pennsylvania's 8.7 million registered voters. Interestingly, the anticipated increase in voter turnout matches the deciding vote margin in the 2020 elections. But there is a twist to this story. It's time to shine the spotlight on Pennsylvania House Bill 279. This bill could potentially allow undocumented immigrants to acquire both driver's licenses and voter status. Is this a strategic move to create a stable Democratic voting base in a swing state? We decode the intention behind the Democrats' actions, evaluate whether this is a plausible scenario, and consider the implications for our democracy. The partisan waters are churning in Pennsylvania and we're breaking it all down for you. Tune in and join us as we navigate through this intriguing, dynamic tale that's unfolding and reshaping the political landscape. Support the show…
What happens when crime rates skyrocket and business giants abandon ship? Picture this - a city where crime has increased by 36% in one year, carjackings are up by 116%, and major retailers like Walmart and Whole Foods have hightailed it out of town. It's not a scene from a dystopian movie, it's the current reality in parts of Chicago. As a business owner, it's a terrifying landscape. Now, imagine the city's response to this situation is not increasing police presence, but setting up city-run grocery stores! Sounds surreal? That's precisely what Chicago's Democrat Mayor, Brandon Johnson, proposes. We've got a bone to pick with this radical idea. Join us as we critically analyze this proposition, drawing parallels with Marxist ideologies and utopian thinking. We are left wondering - can a nation survive with such ill-fated mindsets?

Are you truly aware of the economic implications of illegal immigration and the impact of our current system? Let's talk about the heavy burden on the welfare system, increased use of means-tested programs, and a concerning outflow of US dollars from our economy. Despite these challenges, we also recognized that immigration isn't without its merits, especially when considering the cultural values that South American immigrants bring to our nation. They are non-woke, and that's a good thing. In a seemingly utopian dream world, our leaders appear to be detached from reality. Take, for instance, California's impractical plan to transition to electric vehicles or Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm's dubious actions. Together, we explore these instances, questioning their feasibility and potential impact on the average citizen. Crime: two "youths" run over a retired police chief on his bicycle, laughing while they intentionally murder this man. We are in a crime wave that we may never pull out of. Lastly, we're excited to bring to you an important announcement: our podcast is transitioning to a member-supported platform.

Are we witnessing the downfall of pragmatic politics? Tune in as we dissect the gritty details of the impeachment process, shining a harsh light on the controversies surrounding former President Biden's role. We question if Republicans are becoming as aggressive in their pursuit of Biden as Democrats were with Trump, and contemplate the consequences of Congress turning into a political vengeance machine. We're not afraid to call out both sides of the aisle. We applaud the rational discourse demonstrated by figures like Dan Crenshaw and Joe Manchin, while expressing concern over those who fall short, such as Lauren Boebert, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. We scrutinize the worrying trend of Congress becoming a political battlefield and ponder if this will set the stage for future presidencies. Join us as we navigate these murky political waters.

Absurd and contradictory beliefs stand as the backbone of our society. From the trade tariffs endorsed by both Trump and Biden, which impose an onerous burden on us, the consumers, to the ethical conundrums of quotas, we're stripping down the rhetoric to expose the raw, often uncomfortable, truth. We'll also dissect Mayor Eric Adam's dramatic about-face on immigration and his sudden acknowledgment of NYC's limitations. We're stepping into the murky waters of ethics and pondering on the justifications we provide for our increasingly absurd policies. How do we sleep at night knowing we're backing policies that might be doomed to fail? How will our future selves look back upon the decisions we're making today? Amid the chaos, we're seeking unity, looking for the silver lining, and questioning the consequences of some wildly impractical decisions, like the mass deportation of immigrants or California's gender affirmation law in custody disputes.

Get ready to challenge your perception of racial equality in psychoanalysis as we sit down with Professor Wilfred Reilly. We tackle the recent report from the American Psychoanalytic Association and dissect the Maoist struggle sessions, as we question how race is used as a social distortion by lefties. Expect some surprising insights as we critique racial analysis in psychology, highlighting how complex data can be oversimplified and emphasizing the need to acknowledge counterfactuals when considering "racism's" effects. Ever wondered how the world's most racist countries are ranked? We analyse the methodology of World Population Review and discuss the implications of asking people about their comfort levels when raising issues of racism. We don't shy away from contentious topics as we explore 'Kendism", radical leftism, and the potential implications of a governing body overseeing racial equality. We question Ibram Kendi's argument that statistically significant differences between large groups can only be due to racism, and what this means for future discussions about racial equality. Towards the end of the conversation, we examine the societal shift from traditional psychotherapy methods to radical subjectivism, bringing about an increased neurotic avoidance of risk. We're critical of the spread of hysteria and the impact of critical theory on our mental health diagnosis. Finally, we dive into the 'woke' movement, looking at the rejection of biological sex and the implications for women's sports, gender roles, and dating. It's a dynamic and thought-provoking conversation you won't want to miss. Support the show…
