Description
If you have nothing nice to say, you can sit with us. Suzanne Lambert, the "Regina George liberal," presents Mean But True —an unapologetically irreverent and lighthearted podcast that explores pop culture, current events, and the politics that shape our everyday lives. Strong opinions about inconsequential (and otherwise) topics are encouraged. Do you have something mean but true you need to get off your chest? Put it in the book—and on the pod.

We’re back for Mean But Truesday with our most highly requested guest and dear friend, Barrett Adair! You’ve seen Barrett deliver reads with the proficiency of a librarian on the internet, and may have also reposted her jokes on her meme account @hellicitymerriman. In this episode, we discuss our favorite politicians, the ongoing scandal and intrigue around Punch the Monkey, Suzanne’s random celebrity beef, favorite Mary-Kate and Ashley films, among many other things.

It’s the best day of the week and we are in for a super special Mean But Truesday! You may know Matthew Broussard from his comedy special Hyperbolic, his standup that you can see all over the country (touring now!), and his general hilarity that has graced your TV and phone screen for years.
In this episode, we will discuss what Matthew and Suzanne were like in high school (and their unexpected high school rivalry), some stories from their past lives in finance, what Matthew has learned throughout his ten year relationship (turned happy marriage), and memorable times they’ve bombed onstage. Plus, the most recent time each of them admitted they were wrong.

Got a secret, can you keep it? On this Mean But Truesday, we are actually screaming as we welcome our friend Sasha Pieterse. You may know her as Alison from Pretty Little Liars, her recent starring role in The Image of You, her podcast Women in the Nude, her brands Hippie Water and Hippie Energy, and her storied, iconic acting career that has spanned decades.
In this episode, we will discuss why Sasha was on Capitol Hill (and her run-in with Suzanne!), navigating body changes in front of the world, what it was like to film Pretty Little Liars, being a child star, dealing with being roasted by kids, and how her relationship with her sexuality has changed since becoming a mom.
Plus, an honest admission of how many unread texts Sasha and Suzanne have.

It’s Mean But Truesday, and we needed this episode and these laughs, tbh. It only makes the MOST sense ever to have Sami Sage join the pod! Sami is the co-founder of Betches Media; the biggest and most powerful humor platform for women. She runs Betches News, the Morning Announcements podcast, and is the co-author of the book Democracy in Retrograde.
In this episode, we cover a lot of ground, including the Beckham family drama, why everyone is trying to cancel the Glambot guy, and Sami’s advice for working successfully with friends. Plus, Suzanne sets the record straight on some of y’all switching up your NSYNC narrative.

Welcome back to Mean But Truesday! Today our good friend Jeremy Jacobowitz joins the podcast. You probably know Jer Bear (can we call you that?) from Brunch Boys, the Let Me Tell You Why podcast, his extensive work in TV and film (including working as a producer and assistant for Bobby Flay), and eating at the best places while gracing our screens— all over social media and TV.
Today we will discuss what it’s like to work for Bobby Flay, his judgmental take on Suzanne’s bagel order (so rude for what?!), and of course, some of his favorite spots to go in NYC.

Hey yall! It’s Mean But Truesday and we are beyond excited to welcome the iconic, hilarious Sydnee Washington to the pod. Comedian, model, actress, podcaster—Sydnee is truly a multi-hyphenate. You’ve probably seen her on Comedy Central’s 2018 Up Next showcase, or cracked up listening to MESS with Sydnee Washington & Marie Faustin. Either way, she does not miss.
In this episode, we get into how soil actually dies (???), being compared to Rosa Parks at a young age, our dream funerals, and why weddings can turn toxic.

Happy holidays! How lucky are we to celebrate with THE Adam Rippon?! You could say Adam is busy: winning a bronze Olympic medal for figure skating at the 2018 Olympics, winning Dancing With the Stars, writing his book Beautiful on the Outside, hosting his podcast Intrusive Thoughts, opening his medspa (coming soon!), and being free of inhibitions at the grocery store.
In this episode, we talk about the ideal career path for Catholics (sainthood) and why it didn’t pan out for us; a few of the most important it girls of our time (Miss Clavel, JonBenet Ramsey, and Amelia Bedelia, to name a few); and what Adam’s book and the Book of Mormon have in common. Plus, which neurotoxin Adam would name his daughter after.

Just felt it was necessary to point that out before continuing :) We are so excited to welcome Harry to Mean But True! We will chat about the MAGA movement to deport Harry (spoiler: he’s an American citizen), our opps and how dumb they are, and what our walkout songs would be if we were professional baseball players.

It was only a matter of time— Governor Gavin Newsom joins Mean But True for a bonus episode of the ages! As the Governor of California, Gov. Newsom has made shockwaves around the country for fighting fire with fire, fiercely (and we mean fiercely) advocating for Californians, the successful passage of Prop 50, and generally bodying the Trump administration through memes on a daily basis.
