This is an OG Life in Jest gem — the kind of classic chaos only Selene and Pascale can deliver. Yes, we have two brand-new episodes “in the can,” as they say… but Selene has been run ragged, trampled by life like George Washington’s army after a long march, and hasn’t had a second to edit them. Don’t worry — they’re coming! (Probably dragging their tired bodies up the hill as we speak.)
In the meantime, enjoy this laugh-and-vent classic.
In this throwback episode, Selene and Pascale bounce between outrageous humor and fiery real talk. You’ll hear everything from nostalgic prank-call stories (including the little boy who dialed 911 because his mom ate his ice cream) to deep dives into America’s political dysfunction, including the influence of Elon Musk, the rewriting of January 6th, attacks on education, and how vulnerable groups get left behind.
Between the rants, you’ll also get plenty of ridiculousness:
– wondering whether ready-made meal kits actually taste good
– puzzling over the cinematic catastrophe that is Square Dance
– Selene professing her inexplicable love for Bam Margera
– and the two of them spiraling into giggles about the absurdity of it all
But beneath the laughter, Selene and Pascale tackle real issues: the erosion of empathy, the power of propaganda, the destruction of government records, and the terrifying lack of accountability in modern politics. It’s funny, furious, and fiercely honest — the full Life in Jest experience.
If you’re looking to laugh, vent, or feel less alone in the madness of today’s world, this episode has you covered.
Thanks for listening! We love you oh so much!! XOXOXO

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
