Debbie kicks back with Boston comic Corey Rodrigues for a hilarious and no-holds-barred convo that was so much fun, they had to split it into two episodes. They swap stories about life on stage, the wild ride of trying to stay healthy, and the weird pressure to lose weight when you really just want fries. Things get real as they dive into awkward workplace vibes, the rise of AI tools like ChatGPT (yes, we’re talking robot coworkers), and why keeping it authentic matters more than ever. With plenty of laughs, sharp takes, and maybe a drink or two, this episode brings the funny while still hitting those “yeah, I feel that” moments.
