Jodi Miller is a comedian, writer, and actress who's been performing stand up for over 20 years and has also done 4 military tours including going overseas to entertain troops in Afghanistan. She currently works as the head writer for the syndicated comic game show Funny You Should Ask, and she hosts the show The World's Funniest Weather. Her new comedy special Decades in the Making, is available now on Youtube.  Laura opens the show by talking about where her and Scott met Jodi, as well as asking her about her thoughts on being a mom growing up and when she finally decided to try to conceive. After being unable to conceive naturally, that was when Jodi decided to adopt.  Jodi then tells the story behind adopting her daughter, which included a last minute and unexpected phone call from her lawyer instructing her to fly out to Kentucky the following day, during COVID, to pick up her daughter. This leads to a realization of just how hard it is to be a single parent to a young child.  After that, Laura asks Jodi about her current dating life as a single mother in Los Angeles, as well as her old podcast Don't Call Me Ma'am. Jodi then tells a popular story from her life about nailing the audition for America's Got Talent, only to be excused by producers for no reason. This leads to some praise from Laura over Jodi's work on the comic TV game show Funny You Should Ask.  For More On Jodi Miller:Email:   jodimillercomic@gmail.comWebsite: http://www.jodimillercomedy.com Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/jodimillercomic/ LinkedIn:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/jodi-miller-a70a008/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/JodiMillercomic/ X:  https://twitter.com/JodiMillerComic Podcast - Don't Call Me Ma'am https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dont-call-me-maam/id1521281485 Book- https://www.amazon.com/stores/Jodi-Miller/author/B0049OK9S6?ref=ap_rdr&isDramIntegrated=true&shoppingPortalEnabled=trueBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/only-one-in-the-room--6052418/support.

Welcome to #Millennial, the home of pretend adulting and REAL ocean talk! And it's REAL ocean talk because this week we're joined by Mckenzie Margarethe, a marine scientist and naturalist focusing on realistic conservation and ocean education. We have to spend some time talking about the Titan submersible, where they went wrong, why the internet was so quick to jump to comedic takes, and learn more about Mckenzie's experience watching this story unfold as an expert in her field. Misinformation and armchair researchers abounded during this crisis, making Mckenzie and others in her field do a big :facepalm:. The Titan story provides a great reminder of the need for proper deep sea exploration, and considerations for how we protect our oceans along the way. We have to ask... are the orcas coming to kill us all? Mckenzie has a few resources she recommends if you want to get involved in the conversation of ocean conservation: check out Pique Action's list of Climate Creators to watch in 2023 and picking a sea creature you're passionate about and educating yourself on it. Check Mckenzie out on Tiktok, Instagram, Youtube, and Twitter! Since we're on the topic, let's chat about other types of extreme tourism billionaires like to blow money on, risking their lives in the process: Mt. Everest, The Mariana Trench, going to space, and others. Which of these things would we do if we had the money? (Real talk, we're idiots but we're not THAT stupid.) Tragedy tourism can have some overlap here as well - what attracts people to tragic, historic sites? What is the difference between a tragic event that evokes solemnity vs comedy? We've got some recommendations that will hold your attention this week! 'Titanic's Final Mystery' on Paramount+ (Laura), ‘Funny You Should Ask' by Elissa Sussman (Pam), and Hulu's 'The Bear' (Andrew).  And in this week's installment of After Dark, available on Patreon and for Apple Podcast subscribers: Y'all know we can't top off the last couple of weeks of submersible coverage without gossiping about some Titanic conspiracy theories. JP MORGAN SANK THE TITANIC ON PURPOSE IN AN INSURANCE FRAUD SCHEME/TO KILL OPPONENTS OF FORMING THE FEDERAL RESERVE. jk jk. With its close pop culture connection to Titanic, it was impossible that there wouldn't be conspiracy theories about the doomed submersible. Who thinks these billionaires faked their deaths and are now living the rest of their days on a private island? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

But what happens when Sweet Valley is forced to merge with the student body from El Carro High? One word: drama. Tune in to this episode to hear Alli and Elissa Sussman unpack all of said drama and discuss weird gestures around diversity, bad boy stereotypes, the enemies to lovers trope, slut shaming, Jessica and Elizabeth's questionable senior year resolutions, misogyny, and this new take on the classic series.Elissa Sussman is the author of books for teens and adults, including Drawn That Way and Funny You Should Ask.
