  • Murder, Dating, and Comedy Specials, Oh My!
    Aug 23 2025

    This week on Smiling Faces: The Podcast, Victoria and Jess are joined by comedian Jasmine Ellis for a conversation that’s equal parts hilarious, unhinged, and surprisingly heartfelt. From witnessing a literal attempted murder over dinner (yes, really) to breaking down what it takes to craft a killer comedy special, no topic is off limits.

    The trio dives into the chaos of modern dating, the mysterious logic of the 90 day rule, and the not so glamorous realities of egg freezing all while keeping it brutally honest and laugh out loud funny. Sprinkle in some real talk about mental health and the power of storytelling, and you’ve got an episode that’s as relatable as it is ridiculous.

    If you’ve ever wanted comedy, chaos, and a side of wisdom served up in one sitting, this is your episode.

  • How Does AI Have a Boyfriend and We Don't?
    Aug 15 2025

    This week on Smiling Faces: The Podcast, Victoria, Jess, and Producer Mike ask the real questions like: Is AI ruining creativity, relationships, and your group chat vibes? (Short answer: maybe.)

    They dive into self image, modern love, and how artificial intelligence might be smart, but it still can’t flirt without being weird. From deep thoughts about human emotion to a wild night out that nearly turned into a true crime episode, the crew keeps it real, hilarious, and just the right amount of chaotic.

    Come for the hot takes, stay for the unexpected drama and the reminder that in this strange, glitchy world we’ve still got each other. And maybe an escape plan.
