Summary

Rosebud Baker stops in to talk about her new comedy special Whiskey Fists , and she and Bridget discuss making jokes about traumatic experiences, toxic positivity, the way you're supposed to perceive things versus the way that you actually do, being addicted to doomscrolling, and why they're both terrible at adulting. They compare notes on being Covid newlyweds, the exes they've left behind, how the definition of being a "grownup" has kind of changed, the importance of duality and nuance, the mystery of the male species's obsession with big screen TVs, and Rosebud reveals that while she advocates freeing Britney, she also thinks a conservatorship might be the solution to her own problems.
