Jake Johnson "Wrong Direction"
New Podcast Episode
This week, Busy and Caissie thought they were getting a great guest, but when it got down to brass tacks, the ladies decided to bump him up to honorary co-host. Jake Johnson from New Girl, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse and Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse plus 21 Jump Street, among many other things, joins the pod to talk about the new film he wrote, directed and stars in, called Self-Reliance on Hulu now, and his new podcast We’re Here to Help. They also talk about breakups, witchy premonitions, if you can conjure a strange coincidence to bring yourself closure, why entertainment awards are goofy and, of course, Caissie makes him tell her everything about working with Prince on New Girl and he very sweetly obliges. LISTEN HERE!

Really kind Jake Johnson story that some of you may share...
It was April 2020 and I had a colicky newborn and a 4yr old and a husband that had to leave the house for work. Just like everyone else we were stressed and worried. The Spiderverse movie had recently come to streaming and my son was obsessed. He didn’t just watch that movie, he acted out the moves and said all of the lines. At the time I was still on Instagram and I followed Jake on there and one day he posted that to cheer people up during those crazy times, if you commented your child’s name and age and a little something about them he would try and email you a voice recording of himself as Peter B. Parker with an encouraging message to each kid. Well I did it and honestly thought there would be too many people to actually get an email from him. Thankfully I was wrong and a week or so later I got an email from Peter B. Parker.
It brought so much light and joy to my son’s eyes and honestly it made me and my husband both get emotional. I have that email forever saved and I will never forget how a stranger with his own life and children took time out of his day to send out a bunch of really funny and sweet messages that were truly a ray of sunshine in a really dark storm.
This episode was so good and so is his podcast and Self Reliance! I have heard him on a few other podcasts and y’all’s was the best by far. So relaxed and fun!
Reading the description of the episode above I am realizing my entire life I thought it was “brass tax” not brass tacks... I don’t think I’ve seen it written out before! 🤦♀️
