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.

We kick off season *two* with a write in from a teacher who went through hell and back - and not because of her students. Too often on this show we only look at corporate America; the standard 9 to 5s. With teaching being the most common profession at municipal level, we thought it was high time to shed some light on the often-political world inside the schoolhouse walls. If you or anyone you love is an educator, this is the one for you! With the launch of season 2, we've started a W.L.B. listener's lounge Facebook group to discuss episodes, issues, and more.
