Episode 96: Jessimae Peluso

This week, Sara and Nikki share the terror and elation of hosting Tuesday's premiere of Nikki and Sara LIVE while momentarily shutting out the demands of judgy Twitterers and next week's show.  Local comic and new friend Jessimae Peluso (Twitter) leads the ladies in a vivid chat about the vicious zits faced by all three at some point in their lives.  In a surprise cameo, Drunk Diddy himself pipes in to postulate the perfect pustule-killing potion.  Eventually the topic shifts to something more embarrassing than acne: the cocky posturing nearly every stand-up commits when starting out. 

Talking Pee brings a calmer end to a breathless episode, with shout-outs to Eliot Glazer's webseries Eliot's Sketch Pad, HBO's Enlightened, stretch pants in general, and the Sean Kimerling Testicular Cancer Foundation, for which Jessimae's been making some crazy awareness videos.

And don't forget: Tuesdays11pm/10cMTVNikki and Sara LIVE.  Tune in!  Okay?  Good talk.

Episode 95: Michelle Wolf

This week, Sara and Nikki reveal their hidden motives for hosting a TV show: proving their tween Twitter haters wrong and meeting famous men.  It's been a big day for up-and-coming guest comic Michelle Wolf, who arrives at the podcast-office straight from getting herself strategically fired from her impressive-sounding job.  Michelle outlines her origin story, twisting from her involvement in the Bear Stearns collapse to her experiments with pretty much every type of comedy and eventually bringing her to today, her first day of fully committing to the craft.  Your humble hosts have weathered the risk and excitement of this transition before and offering their insight on the situation leads to a frank and lively discussion about the feelings of workplace confidence and self-loathing that exist in every job everywhere.  Before bouncin', the trio talks pee about Jimmy Pardo's landmark podcast Never Not Funny, Cory Cavin's rising webseries Model Wife, and Beyonce's upcomin' rip-roarin' scandal-crushin' Super Bowl show.


Oh, hey, and REMEMBER: Nikki and Sara's well-titled TV show Nikki & Sara LIVE premieres THIS TUESDAY 1/29 at 11pm/10c on MTV!  Ahhh!  Gather 'round the telly with your family and friends and be there from the beginning.

Episode 94: Jackie Kashian

This week, Nikki's just come up from a celeb-spiked Starbucks run and Sara's just come down from a hyperventilating Timberlake high minutes after the man announced that he's ready.  Their guest, Jackie Kashian (@jackiekashian), is used to such obsession: every week on her podcast The Dork Forest, she invites guests to rant freely about their unique loves.  The ladies leapfrog among topics, from the hotel room Jackie and Nikki shared on Last Comic Standing to the gym Nikki can't wait to quit, from the majesty of whale sharks to the pettiness of club owners, before finding a DF-worthy shared passion for Boggle.  Pee is talked about Dan Opsal's webseries Sugarboy, the NSFWiest fantasy webcomic you'll read all week, and Nikki's still-favorite app Sleep Cycle (if only they sponsored podcasts…).  Sit back and savor this fast and chatty hour.

Episode 93: Bridey Elliott

This week, Sara and Nikki revisit their contributions to this year's edition of 50 First Jokes and discuss whether all the flack Nikki got for her cancer joke was deserved or not.  Their guest Bridey Elliott (Twitter, Funny or Die) talks about her projects with big sister Abby and her childhood with dad Chris.  The gaggle of girls remember a world pre-Google when the only ways a kid could learn about sex were useless school lectures and There's Something About Mary.  For the rest of the episode, the ladies show no remorse about skipping classic literature or panning meandering movies.  Eventually they suggest alternatives of their own by talking pee about a wacky Christian flick, a wild insult show, and an insane old movie about the perils of comedy and extra limbs.

Episode 92: Nick Turner

This week, Sara and Nikki are back from their break with news of humorous iPads and difficult dads.  This is comedian Nick Turner's (Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, If You Build It at UCBeast) third time as a guest on the podcast, a stratospheric record matched only by Kurt Braunohler.  Nick gives a preview of the upcoming Best Week Ever reboot he's currently gearing up for, inspiring the ladies, each of whom was recognized in public over the holidays, to share infant-TV-show stories of their own.  Nick's tale of a date tainted by Twitter spurs an entire talk about the faux pas lurking in Tweets and texts.  The three wrap up by talking pee about Skrillex's addicting behind the scenes videos, Grace Helbig's Daily Grace webseries, and Bruce Willis's first old-Bruce-meets-young-Bruce movie since Disney's The Kid, Looper.
