Sage-Based WisdomEp. 73 - It's Giving Hard Launch w/ Steve JenkinsJana and Brian welcome a very special guest straight from Jana’s bedroom to the couch musician and Gen X icon, Steve Jenkins.

Along the way hear from Brian about his ongoing existential crisis about becoming a daily vlogger in pursuit of filming a stand-up special. In the advice segment, a listener asks about cursed college fashion phases and “wise” advice that turned out to be completely wrong…which unlocks jeans-under-skirts discourse and a surprisingly passionate defense...
2026-02-091h 01Sage-Based WisdomEp. 72 - It's Giving Roasting As ResistanceNOTE: This episode was recorded in early January.This week on Sage-Based Wisdom, Jana and Brian ping-pong from SAT scores and stress dreams to Bri’s week-three vlog era, construction chaos, and a renewed commitment to 2026 being the Year of the Bitch™. AKA stop people-pleasing, start roasting the powerful, and please keep your eyes on the alley. In the advice section, a listener doesn’t even ask for advice… she blesses us with a dispatch from Earth Haven, an eco-village in North Carolina that’s giving dry toilets, tantric retreat flashbacks, and “is this a cult?” energy, which launches...

2026-01-2655 minSage-Based WisdomEp. 70 - It's Giving You Have To Be DeluluJana and Brian spiral productively into a full-blown stand-up special intervention. What starts as a casual check-in turns into a radical commitment to being delulu on purpose: chasing a Hulu/Netflix special, vlogging the process, and refusing to wait for permission. Along the way, they unpack rage as creative fuel, why bombing is actually essential to comedy, clowning vs. cringe, and whether stand-up belongs at protests, sit-ins, and the mall. The episode swerves hard into Taco Bell discourse (bag sizes, nacho fries, merch capitalism), holiday gift reveals, and the deep emotional power of a good bolo tie. A caller...

Things get intimate: giver vs. receiver energy, workaholism killing romance, Gilmore Girls as a roadmap to softness, and why third spaces are disappearing (and what Brian has unfortunately replaced them with). The episode also delivers peak New York storytelling with examples of public crying, subway kindness, snow trash, sanitation worker appreciation, and multiple absolutely harrowing “I shit my pants in public” confessions. A caller asks for petty...
2026-01-121h 05Sage-Based WisdomEp. 68 - It’s Giving White Relocation ActJana and Brian kick off 2026, immediately spiraling into New Year “goals,” scammy influencer fitness plans, and the bleak reality that January is just a crowded gym with a calendar. Then the episode takes a HARD pivot into politics and Indigenous rage: Kristi Noem catching strays, a crash course in colonization, and the debut of the White Relocation Act–complete with a “five white passes” draft list for allies, boyfriends, and essential celebs. Finally, two callers bring the real: burnout from nonprofit/legal work and the emotional trap of serving your community at the expense of your own health. Jana and Brian...

Together, they unpack the algorithm’s favorite “wisdom,” debate whether quarter-zips thin culture, and grocery store inflation are all signs of late-stage capitalism, and share recession-era survival tips ranging from refund confidence and rejection therapy to accidentally buying 20 bunches of kale at Whole Foods. The conversation swerves from self-help grifters and body politics to fascism and why everything suddenly costs $80, before diving into listener advice when a Bay Area pastry chef asks what peo...
2025-12-1549 minSage-Based WisdomEp. 64 - It’s Giving Full Body FajaJana and Brian spiral gloriously from BBL surgeries and Beverly Hills housewife culture into foam-roller TikTok propaganda, pony herpes panic, and whether big cities are dying. A crash-course in medical tourism leads to faja talk, band-of-horses discourse, and Brian’s dream of a 10K population town with surgically-enhanced friends. Jana goes long on her Kristi Noem vendetta (and Brian maybe follows her husband), while horse stables quarantine like a soap opera.

Amy unpacks the toll of teaching Gen Z, Brian reveals the WeHo gym hookup that turned out to be Amy’s former boss, and Jana shares her secret bad-girl origin story. This week’s...

A viral clip kicks off a talk about women no longer needing men and how patriarchy is still out here with tiny weiner energy. This week’s caller asks if it’s okay to “rot” instead of doing perfect self-care. Jana, Brian, and Leah unpack shame spirals, hotel Golden Girls binges, martinis and chips, and the holy 80% rot / 20% work balance.
