    Mar 24 2026
    Now wait a minute. We have a real GET this week, pardon me. This week we're joined in The Carriage House by our new best friend, the TikTok lawyer himself, Michael Foote! Michael is an immigration and criminal defense attorney known for his day-in-the-life of a New York lawyer videos on TikTok. Not only is he whip smart and hilarious, but his work in federal court for detained migrants and extensive activist litigation in detention centers has brought him to the forefront of the immigration conversation in the US. He's also host of the podcast BRIEF RECESS. Listen wherever you get your podcasts! Michael, Ronna (& Bryan) give advice on helping a woman get her husband "a life" and how to recognize whether you're curating your life or running away from your problems. After hearing this week's episode, we promise you won't take the Fifth. Sponsor: Nutrafol is the #1 dermatologist-recommended hair growth supplement, and for good reason, pardon me.

Then we shift our attention to two dilemmas, one involving a forced lockdown with a married fling and the other with a porch light that just won't quit. Learn more about your ad choices.
