The Laugh-Till-You-Scream Episode: Prank Calls, Politics & America’s Empathy Crisis

About this episode

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
