Live From a Post-Snowstorm NYC: Actors Need to Stop Taking Themselves So Seriously
Thu Jan 29 2026
We’re unpacking snow day chaos, grocery store panic, and why TikTok moms are preparing for winter weather like it’s the apocalypse. Plus: Shaun White snowboarding in Central Park, Ted Cruz fleeing another storm, and the age-old truth that actors need to stop taking themselves so seriously.
We also get into PR-driven “on-set chemistry,” William Shatner eating cereal out of a glass bowl while driving, AI-generated porn bans, internet brain rot, and why being online right now feels genuinely destabilizing.
Bundle up, protect your brain, and log off (after listening).
