Jess-a-gator

Each week, comedians and best friends Jessica St. Clair and June Diane Raphael take a ‘deep dive’ into their real lives and discuss a wide range of topics including how to pursue joy amidst the insanity of motherhood and family, grief and loss, sh*t they put on their faces, and why they refuse to check their voicemails or unpack their suitcases. The Deep Dive captures the friendship of two women trying to survive adult womanhood. Their motto, shared by their loyal Deep Divers, is "Let Us Live!"
 

Comedy

This week special guests, Casey Wilson and Danielle Schneider, are here to dish on small talk. Could a neighborly exchange save your life? Maybe not, but the science shows it will at least improve it!

A Double Dip: The Deep Sesh

June's having a helluva morning and Jess is here to remind us all: we have no other choice but to take the day poco by poco.
Through sick dogs, sick kids, and a fierce competition with your spouse, the ups and downs come at you fast.
It's your serve, life. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Poco by Poco

East Coast/West Coast calendar tribulations aside, June and Jessica run a safe space for all. Running on fumes this week, we are too burnt out to read the book on burnout; but there's plenty to be grateful for and though we may have to bury our secrets in a bush, you can trust that there are life lessons to be learned in every diner and stadium parking lot across the nation. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Heavy Bones

What's your favorite childhood food? Could you describe it in an appetizing way? If so, we're gonna need you to reconsider your answer.

Jess reports on her and Casey’s whirlwind live Small Talk tour featuring American’s Sweetheart, Professor Jake Cornell, as well a youth sports ref with a bad attitude. June has some passionate words for both, and a Mother's Day quandary (with a very clear resolution). See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Fun for the Win

You think you're burned out? Try harboring a secret, second family. This week, June and Jessica delve into the seedy worlds of gardening, missing persons, and Jessica makes a shocking revelation about her connection to Neanderthals. Rosemary hides, but you don't have to. Be proud of who you are. You. Be. You. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
