  • S1E10 - Survival Jobs
    May 24 2022

    It’s the last episode of the season, Ba-Dummies :,). Thank you all for going on this journey with me. I won’t wax too poetic here because I’ll start to cry but just thanks to all of you who have listened and shared and hit that five star button. Anyway. All Job Survival Job. Let me ask you a question - is it weird that Steve Jobs’ last name was Jobs? Did anyone look into that? I am in a toxic relationship with Indeed. I took a break for a while but then I just kept coming back to her…What’s funny is when you look up ‘improv comedy’ jobs, what comes up is some nurse practitioner jobs. Indeed says, “girl,,,are you sure?” Rihanna once said, “Werk, werk, werk, werk, werk.”  Thanks again Ba-Dummies. If nothing else, I hope that this podcast has built character. 

    Kisses, Tessa

  • S1E9 - Bands
    May 17 2022

    Bands - what can be said about them but that they make her dance? Mais, non, dear listener. We aren’t talking about racks, or stacks, or cash. We’re talking musical bands. Like the Beatles, ever heard of them? Ya’ll hear the new Kendrick Lamar album? Pretty good. I guess he’s one man and not a band….When I personally think bands I think of 7th grade when the it girls were on like the 1975 and Arctic Monkeys. Tumblr, really. My favorite thing about Bands is the names. Here is a list of some band names I’d like to see: Lake Fish, XxX, (that’s like X by X, like the measurement) Romance in the Boston Museum of Science, Soybean Babies, and Garage Band the Band. Feel free to DM me any other ideas you have. Anyway. We’ve got a great show tonight, Mila Kunis is here! So stick around we’ll be right back. (I know I have done this joke before, its my favorite one so I’ll do it again.) Love, Tessa

  • S1E8 - Sexual Education
    May 10 2022
    Episode Notes

    It was bound to come up I suppose. Sex sells, as they say. I’m expecting a pretty big boost in how many listens this podcast gets. We’re talking about sex. (Bay-bee.) You don’t have to be a virgin to listen to this episode, don’t worry. Sex can be almost unbearable to talk about. Luckily, Trina and me are real connected and talked to the two most comfortable people in the game. Ash, a midwife, informed me about everything I missed in class, plus like ten times more. Then Rahkie taught us how to be a side piece. Anytime I think the sex talk is bad, I am reminded that Cat penises have barbs on them and are incredibly painful to be “made love to” with. I’m not saying human sex is perfect, but it could be worse. I have too much of a headache to write anymore. Hope y’all are having a great week. <3 T.

  • S1E7 - Wheels (hot)
    May 3 2022
    Episode Notes

    Today on the pod we’re talking about transportation because the wheels on the bus are what? Sickening. This is actually such a deep episode which we didn’t know the meaning of until like an hour into recording - the second time we tried, mind you. Me n Trina start off chatting to a ticket ‘boof’ attendant in the New York City subway system - ever heard of it? And then, we talk to a scooter kid. Jk, Max is a senior in high school in New York City, so we’re talking to both sides of the spectrum here. Wheels. They’re what make the world go around. Especially if you are strapped to a wheel while its moving and so your POV is just the world going round. When I learned to ride my bike, I immediately wanted to be a dirt biker (very pre-gay awakening of me) and so I tried to round a rock covered corner in that cool way the dirt bikers do where they kinda put out their leg like a kickstand (do they even do this? Where did I get this from? Dirt Bikers DM me) and wouldn’t you know it I absolutely threw myself sideways and gashed my knee and cried and all that. Ah youth. Anyway. Hope y’all are “wheely” excited for this episode. I personally felt moved by Joanna and I think you will too.

  • S1E6 - Crocs
    Apr 26 2022
    Croc-cast

    Crocs? Like the shoe?? No. Crocs like an abbreviation of the wild Dino like reptile…No jk it is about the shoe. What I like most about Crocs is how they have Gibbitz™ and their motto is “So that’s what the holes are for.”  Also the fact that Crocs does collaborations with actually very cool ‘influencers’ (Brittany Broski is the only one I’m thinking about here). I mean they’re really a shoe of the people. In this episode, Trina admits to loving big oil, Jeanne takes her honeymoon alone, and Elsa completely sells me a croc. Hook line and sinker. If I wasn’t already gonna happen, I am now fully about to buy myself the Crocs that Rico Nasty did a collab with. Anyway hope y’all are doing well, I have covid :/ Amicably, Tessa P.S. - the sound of the Croc is “squelch.”

  • S1E5 - Conventions (the pros and the cons)
    Apr 19 2022
    Episode Notes

    Listen. I did try to get Tana Mongeau on this podcast. Like,,,trust me I went for it. Dmed on all socials. She did not respond, but I’m still holding out. Luckily, where one door closes, another opens. And the one that opened for us was even better than Ms. Mongeau. Honestly, I came to the convention world a virgin. Find out if our guests think I have the chutzpah to be at a convention, plus hear about Trina’s experience at the North American Bengali convention. In this episode, the pros and cons of cons with pros on cons! Also TW because we do drag Disney Adults™.

  • S1E4 - Mermaids

    Episode Notes

    Hosted by: Tessa Abedon & Trina Sanyal

    When I was a kid Ariel was my favorite Disney princess until she had a child, Melody at which point Ariel transforms into a nagging mother character and I sympathized with Melody more. I wanted to be that kindred offspring of the red headed fish lady, you know? Mermaids would, objectively, be a lot funnier if the top half was fish and the bottom half was human. But since this doesn’t seem to be the case, Trina and I take it upon ourselves to bring the humor to the deep abyss. On this episode, you’ll get a taste of the salty seas. Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of lemon lime flavored gatorade, you feel me? If you learn just one thing from this podcast, it should be that there’s plenty of fish in the sea - but also, why catch a fish when you can teach a man to learn? Alright, now on with the show.

    WAKEUP! Lol no jk. You’re probably awake right now. Unless you use this podcast to fall asleep. No shame….but like…you might miss something good. Anyway. We’re talking dreams this week. Ever had one? I used to want to be a professional cake decorator as a child. But I don’t have steady hands, I mean really they shake like leaves, so I said F-it I’ll be a comedian. Last night I had a dream that you specifically listened to this podcast and then were like “omg I loved this, I laughed so hard.” And you rated us 5 stars and liked us wherever you get your podcasts :)  Xoxo, Gossip Tess
