Landline Episode 19: I Don’t Know Who I Am, But I Know I Want Cheesy Fries

An Episode for Those Who Belong Somewhere Between the Ritz-Carlton and a Roadhouse

This week on Landline, we spiral. Gently. Dramatically. In a bowling alley.

I talk about the kind of identity crisis that only comes from getting married and going viral for an animation where you shoot Mr. Rogers. You know, classic bride stuff.

If you’ve ever posted something online and immediately felt like you broke the internet in the bad way, or if someone’s told you “That doesn’t seem like you,” and you suddenly doubted your entire existence—this one’s for you.

Highlights:

  • Why I don’t know my brand and maybe never will

  • How my “support group” is weirdly the best wedding planning committee I’ve got

  • What the Muppets boarding house has to do with Landline

  • And why it’s totally fine (good even!) to want your wedding celebration to smell like rental shoes and nacho cheese

You’ll also hear about our pilot experiment leaving a real landline phone at the Dive Motel bar in Nashville. We got one voicemail. It just said “I hope” over and over again. Honestly? Same.

🎧 Listen to the episode above or wherever you get your podcasts.

📞 Want to call in? You can still leave a message anytime at (615) 212-5437. Or catch me live next Wednesday at 7 PM Central.

🎈 Episode 20 drops next week and I’ll be joined by my chaotic genius cohost Claire. If you know, you know.

Thanks for listening. Thanks for letting me be a little bit Gonzo, a little bit Piggy, a little bit human.
