Josh Wolf | EP 38

In this episode, Trish and Karen welcome comedian and longtime friend Josh Wolf for a wildly honest and hilarious conversation nearly 30 years in the making. From their early days in Hollywood to parenting on the road, the trio trades stories about career curveballs, raising kids while chasing dreams, and the chaos of comedy life (including a pole dancing class that went off the rails).

Josh opens up about touring with his son Jacob, how storytelling shaped his comedy, and why authenticity still beats algorithm. Together, they explore the weirdness of sleep aids, the rise of influencer comedians, and the lessons we love to give—but rarely take ourselves. Full of laughter, heart, and a few hills worth dying on, this one hits all the notes.

In this episode, Trish and Karen tackle one of life’s greatest challenges: saying no — especially when you were raised in the South where "yes ma’am" is practically a birthright.

From dodging social invites to navigating friendship boundaries without feeling like a monster, they swap stories about people-pleasing gone wrong, the art of graciously declining, and why sometimes self-care looks a lot like staying home in sweatpants with your dog.

They also recount a truly unforgettable night — complete with over-the-top home décor, unexpected hospitality, and a Golden Girls viewing party that took a hard left turn.

If you’ve ever RSVP’d “yes” when your soul was screaming “girl, stay home” — this one’s for you.

📍Saying no is hard — especially if you were raised to “be polite at all costs.”

📍Boundaries don’t push people away — they build better friendships (and less resentful hosts).

📍Asking for details before you commit is your new superpower.

📍A small circle of trusted friends > a big crowd every time.

📍It’s okay to choose peace (and pajamas) over plans.

📍Not every invitation is mandatory — even in the South.

📍Dogs make great company — and even better excuses to leave early.

📍Unexpected hospitality makes the best (and sometimes wildest) stories.

📍Humor helps everything — especially awkward exits.

📍The pandemic changed the way we socialize — and that’s okay.

📍It’s normal to feel overwhelmed — know when to step back.

📍Self-care starts with saying no when you need to.

📍Protecting your peace is essential — not selfish.

📍Being gracious doesn’t mean giving up your boundaries.

📍Sharing stories (especially the messy ones) is how we stay connected.

📍Dog ownership brings joy... and a few challenges.

📍Saying no prevents burnout — and a whole lot of resentment.
