Pop Therapy

In Real Life with Ryan Bailey

Pop Therapy

Show Notes

This ep was recorded live in LA with my buddy Ryan Bailey, who is on the brink of his biggest plot twist yet: fatherhood. Baby Romy is dropping soon, and we get into how the preparations are going, what shifts when real life gets very real, and whether you can truly prep for a role like that.

From there, it’s straight into music, pop culture and our shared Bravo brain. The shows we’re obsessed with, the cast members we love to hate (or hate to love), and what that says about us. Why do some people become villains in the cultural group chat while others get rehabilitated in real time?

Ryan pulls back the curtain on the grind of daily podcasting and what happens behind the scenes when your job is to stay across everything.

Fast, funny, self-aware and just the right amount of chaotic. Pop Therapy, live from LA.
