Nikki Glaser

This week, Busy and Caissie are both away from home. Busy is in South Carolina, and Caissie is on a road trip, calling in from the Radisson in Duluth, Minnesota and a Taco Bell parking lot in Wyoming. They both are doing their best at some things, but let’s be honest, they could always be doing better! Caissie talks about visiting Prince’s shoes at Paisley Park in Chanhassen, Minnesota, just outside of Minneapolis and carrying around a hallucinogenic magic mushroom chocolate bar she can’t find time to eat. Busy confesses that she has some grief that she’s been needing to let go of, and the surprising helpers who came to make sure she understood what she had to do. Then, comedian Nikki Glaser stops by to share her incredibly personal story of a pivot that might have saved her life. Plus, they discuss whether they think it could ever be possible to forgive Louis CK or appreciate his comedy again.  Sponsors: oliveandjune.com Promo code: BEST athleticgreens.com/busy drinkbev.com/busy Promo code: BUSY publicgoods.com/busy Promo code: BUSY Wondrium.com/BEST Life is Short with Justin Long on Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music or ad free on Wondery Plus in the Wondery app

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!
