Description

Comedian Jessi Cruickshank HAS A PODCAST! Because she needed a safe space to talk about EVERYTHING without getting in trouble. Each week, she’ll give her hot takes on what’s happening in the world, in her home and in Pop Culture. But when she wants to dive deeper, learn more, or just understand important things like Who the F*&# is Bhad Bhabie? She’ll get to Phone a Friend! This can be a real-life friend, a celebrity friend, a sassy tween, a serious news anchor, a gay man who knows about The Real Housewives, a straight man who knows about sports, or the only person she could find who actually got Taylor Swift tickets. The conversations might last three minutes or the entire episode. They can be deep or petty, but they’ll all be eye-opening and HILARIOUS. New episodes drop EVERY THURSDAY wherever you get your podcasts! And if you read this entire description, you’re pretty much obligated to CLICK SUBSCRIBE and leave a 5 STAR REVIEW!

2026/08/06

It’s the most wonderful time of the year- time to clean out the old inbox and check ALL of your voicemails! You call Jessi with your HOT TAKES about Dogs, Tipping, Hot Cartoons and so much more.

2026/07/30

TRIGGER WARNING if you’re a DOG PERSON- Jessi and Jason have controversial thoughts about dogs. Do you agree?!? Then, Tyra Bangs, I mean, Banks- broke the internet with her new, record breaking bangs. Usher was rejected onstage by a fan and he did NOT take it well- so whose fault was it?

2026/07/23

It’s a Midsummer Episode! Jason celebrates Outdoor Girl Summer, Jessi celebrates Out Of Office Girl Summer and they both celebrate The World Cup Final! Sort of. Was the halftime show a bust? Was Justin Bieber a downer? Did Shakira get revenge? Did Jessi get aroused? No soccer will be discussed in this in-depth conversation about the World Cup. Then, “Panic Pouches” are HOT on Tik Tok- if you don’t have one, it’s probably because you aren’t 25, but Jessi will explain it anyways. An A-list pop star tells us about her lettuce diarrhea… but did we really need to know? Plus, an in-depth investigation into the cancellation, and resurgence of (pregnant) Anne Hathaway. Grab your fidget spinners and relieve your anxiety with this ALL NEW episode! Leave Jessi a voicemail about ANYTHING… HERE: 323-448-0068 Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

2026/07/02

Jason's pick for today's Summer Repeat is more relevant than ever after Spencer Pratt's mayoral run and Heidi's new album out NOW! In this episode, Jessi reunites with Heidi Montag for the first time in 10 years to clear the air. Did Heidi HATE The After Show? What did she REALLY think of Dan and Jessi? Was Spencer ACTUALLY a threat to their safety at the series finale? Does Heidi still want to be the new Michael Jackson? All that, and SHOCKING revelations about money, fame, plastic surgery, motherhood and making NEW MUSIC! (stream ‘SUPERFICIAL’ now) Plus, Jessi breaks down the HIGHS and LOWS of The Oscars, investigates Kate Middleton’s disappearance (this did not age well) and unpacks the explosive behind-the-scenes DRAMA on Queer Eye.
