Just So You Know

Each week, Jamie and Justina — two funny, fierce, and almost scarily honest humans who love animals, could eat fruit all day — seriously they love fruit, and can't stop telling it as it is — compare what we're all being told about an important topic with ... the actual truth. It's refreshing! And empowering. And surprisingly fun? Stay tuned for season 2!

As Season 1 of Just So You Know comes to a close, Jamie and Justina take a profound spiritual journey with Sharon Gannon — founder of Jivamukti Yoga — who knows a thing or two about yoga, veganism, and how to have compassion for yourself and for people you don’t see eye to eye with. But first, Jamie tells the story of a very different journey … that almost ended in a disaster at the airport.

It’s the skincare episode! Jamie and Justina talk about absurd beauty trends, share personal stories that are not at all embarrassing, and chat with the fabulous beauty creator @BilintinaMakeup about her cruelty-free skincare routine and why she’s never looked back after giving up lucrative contracts with makeup brands that use animals.

This week Jamie and Justina check in to see what’s going on with the orcas at SeaWorld and, well … it’s a bit of a horror show. They’re joined by Jayde and Nia — the brilliant minds behind LA’s Sugar Taco — who share their stories about baring it all in a powerful protest to raise awareness about SeaWorld’s treatment of orcas, like Corky, who’s been held captive in abysmal conditions for decades.

Are the expectations of “masculinity” holding men back from embracing a vegan lifestyle? If so, Dom Thompson’s truly inspiring journey from growing up poor on Chicago’s west side to being “the only plant-eating dude” in prison to life as an athlete, entrepreneur, and activist proves that there’s a better way. This week, Jamie and Justina sit down with Dom for a powerful conversation  about veganism and masculinity.

Jamie and Justina are treated to a behind-the-scenes look at the breakup of the “Tiger King” empire, along with some uplifting and inspiring stories about animals who are thriving after being rescued from roadside zoos. 🐯Which is all a much-needed shot in the arm after Jamie’s extremely awkward story about protesting an organization where a close friend works! 😬

It’s Freaky Friday on Just So You Know this week because Justina’s in the driver’s seat to talk about the history of Disney movies with pro-animal messages. Is there going to be a lot of singing? Yes. Is this one going to go hilariously off the rails? You bet it is.

An inspirational response to everyone who says that it’s too expensive to be vegan. Jamie and Justina walk through some surprising facts about why food costs what it does, and then they have a powerful conversation with a vegan activist about growing up on food stamps, being vegan and low-income, and why it upsets her when people say veganism is privileged.

More and more circuses have given up on animal acts, but Shrine circuses are still cynically taking advantage of children’s natural love of animals to exploit them for fundraisers. This week, Jamie and Justina get into exactly what that means for the animals involved, and (just so you know), it’s not great! Also, Jamie can juggle. Who knew?

Why do high schools have animal dissection when medical schools don’t? Why is dissection still around even though there are better alternatives? And what happens when you get locked out of your apartment in just your bathrobe? The answer to two of these questions is “money.” The third one’s a bit more complicated.

You’ll never believe what the original working name for “vegan” was. Plus, which ancient Egyptian Pharaoh had a major soft spot for animals? Was the philosopher Plato vegan-curious? And why did Roman gladiators eat a mostly vegetarian diet? This week, it’s Jamie and Justina’s Excellent Adventure into vegan history!

They spell your name wrong on the cup. They don’t serve anything you can eat for breakfast. And then they charge you extra for vegan milk! Jamie and Justina get into exactly what’s going on with Starbucks’s outrageous vegan upcharge, and then they talk to the incredible Chef Babette Davis, who glued her hand to a Starbucks counter as a protest.
