“…she’s a writer, and she’s so fucking annoying … she’s constantly being like ‘wah I have writer’s block, oh my gosh I have a paid to-do, I’m just going to go out instead'‘… that’s definitely something to make sure not to be…basically this girl is just really annoying, she’s just constantly talking about how she’s a writer, and constantly talking how hard writing is.” This is our first caption by Maddie and also a direct quote from this episode.
Read MoreSometimes, after spending what feels like an eternity contorting yourself into uncomfortable positions and poses, it’s important to find a way to let a little air in, and then slowly let it out. Let us listen for the collective out breath. I am of course talking about the important psychological work it takes to reflect on the internalized homophobia that can continue to exist in our lives long after we come out. What did you think I was talking about? This is queer content, Q-U-E-E… (read more).
Read MoreBecause Lucky is dead and he couldn’t see it coming. Meanwhile, Annie’s love life is still tbd. Maddie needs some convincing to get back in therapy, but I’d like to make the case that paying eleven dollars for an eight ounce cup of matcha is a sign of psychosis. In her own fit of nervousness, Annie is up all night to get some new insight into her anxiety, much to Scheckel’s chagrin. It’s Annie’s first week back in her new hometown, New York, and it’s Maddie’s last week of freedom. or so she thought before she realized that she’s recording every day for the next two weeks. Ah the lives of a musical superstar and a shrew who can hold a pencil.
Read MoreThis is the story of the sly slippery slurper, who one Sunday silently slurped her soda while staring sullenly at her - and I’m done with this ruse. Maddie really loves to slurp her coke, but she’s willing to try a different way in the company of good friends. On this episode we talk about Maddie’s upcoming album and Annie’s new life as a fully self-aware writer. Neither one of them is getting paid for their art, but that doesn’t mean we can’t spend money on a good cactus slapping every once in a while.
Read MoreWell, friends, we’re back. 2018 went by in the blink of no podcasts, but we’re here with completely new lives and the same old girlfriends. With a newfound dedication to our regularly scheduled programming, Maddie and Annie are going to be updating you on their lives, which are more exciting than ever. Here’s something new: this episode is live in the flesh, and it turns out Annie can’t handle the intimacy of direct eye contact. Get the low down on Maddie Ross’ US tour (around the entire country!!) and Annie Krabbenschmidt’s humble move (three states north!!).
Read MoreHELLO LSF family!!!! Maddie here. How I've missed you! I'm incredibly excited to announce my new podcast, Everybody's Braindead. I love love love talking to Annie every single week, and we will definitely be doing more podding in the future, but I also wanted to share with you some of the cool conversations I have with people I've met here in LA. I try to interview the least braindead ones I can find. It would mean so much to me if you checked out my new podcast, and as an added incentive, my very first guest is our two and only: Annie Krab & Ben Schmidt. (<-- I though that was a hilarious joke but maybe that's why Annie usually writes these descriptions.) You can find Everybody's Braindead anywhere podcasts are live. I would be so grateful if you subscribed and also rated it so I can avoid the humiliation of getting caught writing myself a review this time around. Hope you enjoy. Love, Maddie!!
Read MoreSounds sophomoric, I know, but anything would be funnier than Annie's stand-up set this weekend. Maddie urges Annie to keep the artistic dream alive, even as Maddie, herself, allows her dream for a lucrative plant-sitting career to wilt and die. If this episode went a little over time, it's because Maddie has been living alone for the longest period of time in her entire life and Siri just doesn't quite understand her.
Read Morewoven complexly from fine virgin leg hair. Bear witness to the emotional process of losing one's leg cast. In another part of the world, Maddie celebrates love with other people who are also in love and it's just so great that everyone has love. I love it.
Read MoreMaddie has an awakening as a performer while Annie crashes and burns. Either way it's hot hot hot!
Read MoreA group breath at the end of Shavasana of course! There's nothing explicit about these Oms, folks! Maddie's encounter with a Facebook misogynist troll, on the other hand, is pretty f***ed up.
