  • Listen to your guests!

    What is going on in the Lisa Kudrow episode?! She says she was born grew up in LA and is then asked did she go to school there…where else would she go?! Then told “but your clever” meaning what people from LA aren’t or actors aren’t clever? Then she talks about how her siblings are 8 and 6 years older and then she’s asked are you the eldest?! It’s mad. After listening for years I stopped but I love Lisa Kudrow so gave it a go but can’t listen past first 10 minutes. It’s lovely you have people ov... more

  • Great guests but overbearing typical middle class attitude spoils the podcast

    Jessie and Lennie have some really great guests on their podcast. However, this is spoiled by Jessie constantly interrupting guests and being sycophantic. Another bugbear is whenever guests mention restaurants in LA which they’ve been to she (ie. Jessie) has of course been to them all which she is desperate to loudly blurt out or almost choke on her food to let us all know. Lennie is ok but also interrupts which is infuriating when it’s a guest you’d love to listen to. Jessie in particular comes... more

  • Has any guest ever finished a sentence?

    Constant interruptions from the hosts. Guests can barely get to the end of their sentence most of the time. Cant bear to listen anymore, even good guests aren’t worth the pain of Lennie and Jessie fighting for attention.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Jamie Laing and Sophie Habboo
Q: How did you handle filming the pregnancy and birth for the show?
They navigated privacy and intimacy concerns, ultimately choosing not to film the actual birth for Raising Chelsea, while still sharing the pregnancy and early moments with the audience to keep the narrative honest and relatable.
Chaka Khan
Q: Can you share a memory from your time with a younger generation, perhaps students or a choir, that underscores your philanthropic work?
I've gone into schools for years with the Chaka Khan Foundation, engaging with kids in deep conversations and keeping a focus on their needs beyond entertainment, which I find profoundly rewarding.
Chaka Khan
Q: What was it like working with Sia on your latest album, and how does collaborative writing typically unfold for you?
Sia brings songs to me and, if I want changes, I can suggest them; more often than not I'm impressed by her writing, and we blend our instincts to shape the final track.
Chaka Khan
Q: How has your approach to performance evolved as you've aged, and what stays constant for you on stage?
The core remains delivering a strong vocal performance and connecting with the audience; physical theatrics are less important to me than the substance of the song and the honesty in delivery.
Lisa Kudrow
Q: What was it like working on The Comeback and how did Valerie Cherish influence your career?
Kudrow explains that Valerie was a thoughtful, polite force on set who navigated the pressures of a reality-tinged production with sensitivity, which helped define her public persona and inspired future projects.
