Luisa shares what it was like headlining her own show at the New York Comedy Club for the New York Comedy Festival — complete with coworkers in the front row — and a weekend opening for comedian Jeff Arcuri that left her inspired and exhausted in equal measure.

Meanwhile, Hilary Duff’s new single “Mature” has arrived, and Daniel and Luisa are unpacking every detail. From how we measure expectations for different pop artists to why some songs just feel right for certain people, this episode covers what works about Hilary’s new release and what leaves us wanting more. "It's a grower not a shower!"

Drafts from the Uber include talking about how we used to write cryptic Facebook statuses with song lyrics, oversharing on Twitter, and Daniel’s long-overdue plan to dig through his Instagram archive.

It’s Luisa’s birthday! We celebrate in the only appropriate way — with Funfetti cake. HBD Luisa!! In this week’s episode, Luisa recounts her brief but thrilling journey on the French side of Hinge (oui oui 🇫🇷), which starts off promising but ends the way most things with men do — in utter disappointment. Meanwhile, Daniel delivers a full-blown monologue honoring America’s sweetheart, Julia Roberts, and declares her an eternal STAY. The shocking part? Luisa has seen… almost none of her movies. Cue the joint spiral through the 100 best films and comedies as we figure out just how culturally under-educated we might be according to this list!!

This week we’re talking about high taxes and low patience.Luisa goes off on how insane freelance taxes are and how the rich seem to keep skating by. Here's a groundbreaking idea: Shouldn’t we get to choose what our taxes actually fund? Daniel vents about the worst household task known to man — taking apart, washing, and reassembling a duvet cover. He’d really like to speak to the inventor.Luisa then turns her attention to air mattresses, because why do they always deflate the second we fall asleep? She shares a funny sleep story from a bachelorette in New Orleans, which leads us into our “one and done” cities (spoiler: Vegas is one of them). We also look back on our MTV days and how having core work friends can make any job worth showing up for. We'll forever be bringing up those good time jsyk.For this week’s Stay & Leave, Luisa checks in on the Rapture TikTokers — they were wrong, obviously — and Daniel request for nothing to be mailed to him ever again unless it's a handwritten note, money or package. #taxtherich #comedypodcast #shouldweleave You can find and watch all previous episodes here: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLSJN2UhlVX8WX6-xO7MrZ-zdtrVGJrDKW&si=U_RLuoQk8ELYEHf5✨ Share with a friend!📸 Follow us on IG: https://instagram.com/shouldweleavepod📱 Hang out on TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@shouldweleave⭐️ And be sure to LEAVE us 5 stars!🟢 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2T2F8j90nx4ubEthVrLFRP?si=75f615a519c140e5🎧 Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/should-we-leave/id1785771748Follow Luisa https://instagram.com/luisalangehttps://tiktok.com/@luiaslangeisajokeFollow Danielhttps://instagram.com/danielheadhttps://tiktok.com/@danyul_h3d About Should We Leave??Should We Leave?? is a comedy podcast about knowing when to ghost the group chat, Irish exit the party, or lean into what actually brings you joy.

This week we’re talking about the lost art of dilly-dallying. Luisa makes the case for slowing down, looking up from your phone, and actually feeling something. Meanwhile, Daniel unleashes his wrath on Citi Bikers, because nothing says danger like Sarah from Michigan wobbling through traffic on a rented bike.

We also get into kids acting like I Am Legend zombies glued to their phones and going through withdrawal when they don’t have them. And seriously — why haven’t they made bathrooms at work (or anywhere) more private? We don’t need three feet of open space under the stall divider. Give us private stalls for the good of humanity.

It’s Daniel’s birthday episode — thirty (redacted) and thriving! 🥳 This week, Daniel has some serious thoughts about cupcakes. They look cute, but are they actually fun to eat? He makes the case for cake being the superior option (and the politics of cupcakes being way deeper than you’d think). Meanwhile, Luisa points out the harsh truth: if you want a birthday party as an adult, you better plan it yourself.Daniel also dives into his new obsession with eBay — the treasure trove of cool, random finds — while Luisa gets reflective about the magic we once had as kids before society came along and made us forget it. It’s a fun, reflective, and very “birthday vibes” episode. 💛You can find all previous episodes here: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLSJN2UhlVX8WX6-xO7MrZ-zdtrVGJrDKW&si=U_RLuoQk8ELYEHf5✨ Share with a friend!📸 Follow us on IG: https://instagram.com/shouldweleavepod📱 Hang out on TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@shouldweleave⭐️ And be sure to LEAVE us 5 stars!🟢 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2T2F8j90nx4ubEthVrLFRP?si=75f615a519c140e5🎧 Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/should-we-leave/id1785771748Follow Luisa https://instagram.com/luisalangehttps://tiktok.com/@luiaslangeisajokeFollow Danielhttps://instagram.com/danielheadhttps://tiktok.com/@danyul_h3d About Should We Leave??Should We Leave?? is a comedy podcast about knowing when to ghost the group chat, Irish exit the party, or lean into what actually brings you joy.

Luisa talks about her cursed Buffalo Exchange experiences. When she’s buying, she’s a valued customer. When she’s selling, they could not care less if she lives or dies.

From planning to win the Powerball to redesigning car horns to reminding ourselves that this podcast is supposed to be a great escape, Episode 30 is full of hunched-over, belly-aching laughs.

Luisa shares the story of her SNL audition that didn’t land (it's okay, it's okay, something bigger is on the horizon). Daniel makes the case for bringing back a little gatekeeping—especially when it comes to Ticketmaster wars—and also unpacks how he and Stevie almost got caught in a $65K scam. We round things out with Luisa finding peace in watching rich people be rich, and Daniel raging against children in TV shows like Invasion who nearly doom their families with one loud cry. SHUT UP.
