Well, if you’re feeling that way right now, we have the PERFECT guest for you today. Dr. Sara Kuburic, AKA The Millennial Therapist, joins us to explain the concept of “self-loss” from her book “It’s On Me,” and teaches us how to create a positive sense of self through taking action and accountability.

On a VERY special episode of Baby, This is Keke Palmer, we are heading to The White House to sit down with the Vice President of the United States, Kamala Harris.

Did you know that Black women in the U.S. are nearly three times more likely to die during childbirth or pregnancy than any other race? Did you also know that the top ten states that have highest rates of maternal mortality, are the same states that have passed abortion bans? It’s clear these issues go hand in hand, so we’re talking to the Vice President about how we can fight back to protect our mothers and our reproductive rights. Plus we debut a new game “Questions that NEED to be Answered” as the woman formerly known as True Jackson, VP asks Kamala Harris, VP all of our most burning questions. From hair routines and rap to cooking and Converse, we get into it ALL!

Y’all, comedy has gone through some wild transformations over the years—not just in what tickles our funny bones, but in how humor reflects the times.

He’s giving us the scoop on everything from his daughter dating Toni Braxton’s son (yes, you heard that right!) to why Steve Harvey might not want to do a “The Original Kings of Comedy” reunion. Grab a seat (or roll around on the floor), because this episode is serving laughs, wisdom, and all the tea.

Yes, you read that title right! Was Jay Gatsby a Black Man? We’ve all read “The Great Gatsby” and the book never says anything about Jay being a Black Man, but when we investigated further, it almost seems impossible for him to not be Black. This week we are going down the rabbit hole with author Janet Savage who shows us all the clues, hints, and signs in the book that lead us to believe Gatsby was a Black Man. Why would F. Scott Fitzgerald hide such an important detail of his book, and was Keke’s grandfather actually Jay Gatsby? Tune in to find out!

There's a certain thrill in witnessing singers battle it out on “American Idol” or seeing an artist skyrocket to fame with a self-released YouTube hit, right? Today's guest is none other than the genre-defying Tori Kelly, who harnessed both of those platforms to captivate her audience. But what does it truly take to achieve success in the ever-evolving music industry? What makes an artist appeal to the mainstream versus a more niche audience? We're peeling back the layers of Tori's journey—from YouTube sensation to “American Idol” standout to Grammy-winning artist—and exploring the influences that have shaped her distinctive sound.

We all know Rep. Jasmine Crockett for her infamous use of alliteration—firing off “bleach-blonde, bad-built, butch body” within a very close proximity to Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene. But who IS Jasmine Crockett? Today we’re talking about the challenges she’s faced navigating politics as a Black woman, how “the crazy folk are running an insane asylum,” and diving into everything you didn’t know about her—from what it was like being a Baptist kid at a Catholic school, to quitting a job defending “Big Pharma,” to her love for French 75s and emojis.

We get into everything that the music world entails from present-day icons to how to break into the industry, and we do it all with banter and a level of dry humor that you know only Renee herself can pull off!

Music helps document big and small moments of our lives, whether it’s blasting a break up song to heal your broken heart, or slow dancing to a love song at your wedding. But what about the process of making those songs? What’s it like for artists to put their heart and soul into their music for the world to hear? This week, we are talking to Renee Rapp all about the creative process of making an album. We get into our creative influences, or biggest fears, and why it’s okay to have Imposter Syndrome.

We’re NOT lying when we tell you this is one of our favorites, which is why we just had to run it back for you! You know them from their amazing podcast “Las Culturistas:” Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang. We’re talking about lies — the white lies, the not-so-white lies, and the lies that get you caught red-handed.

We’d be lying if we said we NEVER lied. Whether it’s adding a few inches to your height on your dating profile or coming up with a fake excuse to get out of plans, everybody does it! This week we are joined by the hilarious duo, Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers to dissect all the reasons why we lie. We fess up and admit some of the funny/embarrassing lies we have told, debate whether or not it’s okay to lie while dating, and we admit how we can be a little delusional sometimes when we lie to ourselves. Even though we are talking about lying, we promise this episode will be filled with nothing but the truth… or will it?

We’re running it back with another one of our favorite episodes! This week, a conversation with the brain behind several of our all-time favorite scary movies: Jordan Peele! Now why in the world would we want to seek out horror movies when real life sometimes feels like its own horror movie?? Jordan helps us get to the bottom of it!

The world is filled with some scary shit, UFO spy balloons keep popping up in our neighborhoods, we’re on the brink of World War 3, and Doomsday seems to be right around the corner. So why the hell do we CHOOSE to be scared over and over again when real life is scary enough? Think about it, horror movies, true crime podcasts, roller coasters, the list is endless for ways we LOVE to be scared, but why do we put ourselves through this? This week I am joined by my good friend and Oscar winner, Jordan Peele, who definitely knows a thing or two about scaring audiences. We get into our biggest fears, why we love the horror genre, and what he has cooking next, which I’m sure none of us will be able to say Nope to (see what I did there?). Maybe listen to this episode during the daytime with your lights on because baby, it’s about to get Spooky Ookie!

It’s time for our most beloved Disney adult, John Stamos! That’s right, this encore is all about Disney Adults, Disney Secrets, and of course Uncle Jesse. Have Mercy!

Picture this, it’s a beautiful day in Southern California, you’re walking down Main Street USA, the smell of churros in the air, your favorite childhood songs are playing in the background, and in the distance you can even see the beautiful skyline of planet Batuu, Sleeping Beauty’s Castle, and the frosty peaks of Matterhorn Mountain. Sounds pretty magical right? We LOVE Disney over here on BTIKP, but some stupid internet trolls just LOVE to hate on anyone who loves Disney as an adult. But, WHY?? Why does the internet get so heated when an adult likes Disney? This makes us want to scream louder than when we’re being whipped around on Space Mountain. So we had to call in an expert on this one. This week we are joined by Disney superfan, and our favorite uncle, John Stamos, to chat about his love of Disney, his Disney memorabilia collection, and why people should have mercy with Disney adults. So put on your best pair of Mickey ears, because we’re taking you on a ride to The Happiest Place on Earth!

Growing up in the 90’s, Nickelodeon was DA BOMB.

Why is it that when a movie or a TV show is based on a true story, all the sudden we become that much more interested in whatever we’re watching? Is it the IRL drama? Or is it the gag that we can’t believe real people do crazy shit like stealing airplanes or drugging the men of Wall Street and taking all their money? This week we’re talking to journalist Jessica Pressler, who wrote both “The Hustlers at Scores” (HHHHHHEYYYYY) and “How Anna Delvey Tricked New York’s Party People”. She gives us an inside look at how these stories came to be, the relationships she has with the subjects of her stories, and what actually happened in those Rikers prison visits she had with Anna. If you loved “Hustlers” and “Inventing Anna” (and I know you did loves!) then this is the episode for you!

Picture this, it’s a beautiful day in Southern California, you’re walking down Main Street USA, the smell of churros in the air, your favorite childhood songs are playing in the background, and in the distance you can even see the beautiful skyline of planet Batuu, Sleeping Beauty’s Castle, and the frosty peaks of Matterhorn Mountain. Sounds pretty magical right? We LOVE Disney over here on BTIKP, but some stupid internet trolls just LOVE to hate on anyone who loves Disney as an adult. But, WHY?? Why does the internet get so heated when an adult likes Disney? This makes us want to scream louder than when we’re being whipped around on Space Mountain. So we had to call in an expert on this one. This week we are joined by Disney superfan, and our favorite uncle, John Stamos, to chat about his love of Disney, his Disney memorabilia collection, and why people should have mercy with Disney adults. So put on your best pair of Mickey ears, because we’re taking you on a ride to The Happiest Place on Earth!
