Afterwards, the ladies share one of their favorite new episodes from the “Lazy Genius” podcast titled “It’s a New Year… Let’s Name What’s Working”. Lazy Genius Host Kendra Adachi says, “the beginning of the year or the beginning of anything often has us rethinking our routines and rhythms and systems and choices to see if there’s anything we want to change. Before you start to put on your problem-solving glasses, utilizing that new year energy to make everything fresh and ready to begin, let’s name what’s working. I have three rules, three questions, and three categories to help you think this through.” Helpful Companion Links Order Kendra's new book The PLAN or ask your library to consider carrying a copy.

Hello. Hi there. Okay. We have some really exciting news to share. We do. Jenna, tell them. All right. My husband, Lee Kirk, is directing a movie called New Year's Rev. And me and Angela both have parts in it. We do. I'm so excited. Tell them what it's about. Okay. Well, this is a story that he wrote with Billy Joe Armstrong of Green Day.
Because, you know, Billy Joe starred in Lee's movie, Ordinary World. That's right. And they stayed friends all these years. His family is very good friends with our family. You know... That this delights me. I know. You're very tickled by it. I am. And so the two of them came up with this story. And then Lee wrote the script. He's now directing it. Here's what it's about.
It's about three high school kids who get pranked into believing that their punk band was picked to open for Green Day on New Year's Eve in Hollywood. Yes. And so they take this crazy road trip across the country. Yes. All the while believing that when they eventually get to L.A., they're opening for Green Day. And of course, a bunch of crazy stuff happens on the road.
And some of the stuff that happens on the road is based on stuff that actually happened to Green Day during their years of living in a tour van. The movie stars Mason Tames and McKenna Grace, along with a whole bunch of other folks like me and Angela. It also stars Fred Armisen, Sean Gunn, and Bobby Lee. And the movie features a ton of Green Day music and ends with a Green Day concert.
And unfortunately, me and Angela don't have any scenes together, but we both have such fun roles. Yeah. So, you know, we got to do this table read.
And I mean, how much fun was that table read, lady? So fun. I can't wait for people to see the movie.
Jenna, tell them who you play. OK, I'm playing Jodi. She's the mother of Tommy, who's played by Mason Tames. And she's a widowed mom who's doing her best to get by and support her family. She's a waitress. She has kind of like a rock and roll past. And she's just trying to do the right thing by her kids. Right.
Well, I am playing Wilma. And I just love that my character has that name because my mom had a sister named Wilma, who I love dearly.
Your Aunt Wilma.
