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.

Dr. Kathy Peiss is a leading scholar in this field and helps us to understand the history of the gay community in America. (bio: https://bit.ly/3HTKXUi) Resources To get a sense of the way in which things have changed, here are a few links to help give some color to the communal conversation in the 1960’s: -Time Magazine 1/21/61 (https://time.com/vault/issue/1966-01-21/page/52/) -The Homosexuals Documentary, CBS News, Youtube (https://cbsn.ws/42kQ7B3) -Wiki, The Homosexuals (https://bit.ly/41kwNCr) -Paul Welch, “Homosexuality in America,” Life, June 26, 1964, pp. 66-80. An article famous for making urban gay life visible to a national audience, with stereotypical popular and scientific views of the dangers of homosexuality. (https://bit.ly/42lF8Y4) The Stonewall riots in 1969 were an important turning point for the Gay community in America. There was a major shift from the counter-cultural community of the 1970’s and 1980’s as a result of the AIDS crisis and what is known as the lesbian baby-boom. The political activism of the gay community turned its eyes toward same-sex marriage. -In 1989, Andrew Sullivan wrote, “Here Comes the Groom: A (Conservative) Case for Gay Marriage,” in The New Republic, August 28, 1989. This piece is considered the first article to argue for gay marriage published in a mainstream publication.
