LA's hottest Clown Boss, Chad Damiani, goes deep into the heart of clown. We go deep and talk about the commodification of performance, the relatability of failing, and what's in a name. We also talk about Connor Storrie's pre Heated Rivalry success, as a perfect darling clown. Join us next week for part two of Chad Damiani.

Shoutouts: Dave Kneebone, Corey Podell, Connor Storrie

Cristina's back update - mysteriously gone. Ilana is getting duped by AI. Cristina is deep in Jiu-Jitsu competitions and Ilana is nursing here multiple injuries but still showing up. Cristina's teacher said, "Fear is 10 feet long, 10 feet wide, and paper thin," so maybe bust through that paper! Or rest, you do you!!!

Ilana and former guest Alisha Gaddis are putting up a show Thursday, April 23rd, 7:30 pm. TICKETS HERE

Psychologist and author Dr. Ingrid Clayton joins Ilana and Cristina to share how her own complex PTSD led her to write, "Fawning: Why the Need to Please Makes Us Lose Ourselves--and How to Find Our Way Back." These three delightful recovering fawners have a powerful conversation that illuminates how fawning happens and how to widen your window of tolerance, grow, and accept where you're at. The move towards "unfawning" takes work, can feel bad, but curiosity can start to get you back in contact with your own body and self. . . maybe for the first time.

Also, fuck Epstein and how the women who have spoken out are being treated. We see you Pam, and we think you're a raging cunt.

Shoutouts: Erin McAnoy, Michelle Villemaire, Resmaa Menakem's "My Grandmother's Hands,"

Endorsements: REST! Not because you're burn out but rest for rest's sake, easy STRETCHING, and CURIOSITY
