    kate steinberg: millennial culture, reality tv, and being a creative
    Oct 30 2025
    kate steinberg is THE face of millennials, a writer, former NHL cheerleader, and genuinely one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet. if you’ve ever seen a video of someone perfectly reenacting a scenario you lived through in 2006, it was probably kate. we talk about millennial culture, creating nostalgia content, the most she’s ever spent bidding on an early-2000s artifact, meeting her fiancé on a dating show, and the highs and lows of growing on social media. she’s an animal lover who spends her free time volunteering at the shelter and is officially one pet away from living in a zoo. oh, and she’s still on the hunt for the matte blue scooby-doo snacks.Follow the pod:https://www.instagram.com/lifesajoke_pod/https://www.tiktok.com/@lifesajoke_podhttps://www.youtube.com/@LIFESAJOKE_PODFollow me (don’t):https://www.instagram.com/christinakirkman/https://www.tiktok.com/@christinakirkman?Follow Kate:https://www.instagram.com/itskatesteinberg?https://www.tiktok.com/@itskatesteinberg?Support the Lange Foundation: https://langefoundation.org/? https://www.instagram.com/lange_foundation?

    tefi pessoa: therapy, healing, & pop culture
    Oct 23 2025
    tefi is the internet’s big sister, part pop culture historian, part therapist, part astrologist. she’s built a career off of gossiping, reminding us that healing is hilarious, and that no one’s too good for a little delusion. we talk about burnout, “living to work”, therapy (shoutout phoebe), who would be at her dream round table, and of course britney spears. she also gave me a therapy session and explains why being a pisces means I’m sensitive and unhinged. great.Follow the pod:https://www.instagram.com/lifesajoke_pod/https://www.tiktok.com/@lifesajoke_podhttps://www.youtube.com/@LIFESAJOKE_PODFollow me (don’t):https://www.instagram.com/christinakirkman/https://www.tiktok.com/@christinakirkman?Follow Tefi:https://www.instagram.com/hellotefihttps://www.tiktok.com/@hellotefi (https://www.tiktok.com/@hellotefi?_t=ZT-90lZEmmHt7n&_r=1)Follow Tefi Talks:https://www.instagram.com/tefitalkshttps://www.tiktok.com/@tefitalks (https://www.tiktok.com/@tefitalks?_t=ZT-90lZGFddJKI&_r=1) Learn more about your ad choices.

  • i took my family on vacation

    i took my family on vacation
    Sep 25 2025
    this was one of the most rewarding milestones in my career. how many times will my parents go to the store? my dad really just wanted 12 key limes and a nutribullet. it wouldn’t be a family vacation if there wasn’t at least one blowout. yes my mother has an android. my aunt left her phone in the car and wouldn’t let us hear the end of it. my cousins don’t know how to bluff to save their lives. did no one teach you how to deal cards??? have you ever heard of an optical course? everyone take your glasses off, go!!!!Follow the pod:https://www.instagram.com/lifesajoke_pod/https://www.tiktok.com/@lifesajoke_podhttps://www.youtube.com/@LIFESAJOKE_PODFollow me (don’t):https://www.instagram.com/christinakirkman/https://www.tiktok.com/@christinakirkman?

    mina tobias: mental health, gossip girl, and harry potter
    Sep 18 2025
    mina is a singer/songwriter, actress, writer, mental health advocate, (almost) sommelier, track star, and most importantly, one of my very best friends. she gives us a glimpse into her family’s history with mental health, why they started the nonprofit ‘don’t mind me’, and what it was like growing up in hollywood. she watched her mom makeout with her celebrity crush, and spent 3 years thinking she was leaving for hogwarts. if you see her out there’s a good chance she’s wearing a cornell sweatshirt. oh and she came onto MY podcast and asked me 10 questions.Follow the pod:https://www.instagram.com/lifesajoke_pod/https://www.tiktok.com/@lifesajoke_podhttps://www.youtube.com/@LIFESAJOKE_POD Follow me (don’t):https://www.instagram.com/christinakirkman/https://www.tiktok.com/@christinakirkman?

    manana arakelyan: nicki minaj, fashion icks, & being the most active content creator i’ve ever seen
    Sep 4 2025
    manana went from pre-med bio major to full-time content creator & built a routine that has her waking up at 4am (could never be me) and cranking out 100 IG stories before lunch while simultaneously filming for youtube(???). i thought we were gonna go bar for bar on nicki lyrics but turns she’s a fraud lol. she spills her fashion hot takes, her love for hannah montana, what it’s like having a family bakery, and how her boyfriend's biggest red flag is that he wraps bread too tight… (yes, that’s the worst of it.) oh, and i accidentally posted my nip on the internet.Follow the pod:https://www.instagram.com/lifesajoke_pod/https://www.tiktok.com/@lifesajoke_podhttps://www.youtube.com/@LIFESAJOKE_PODFollow me (don’t):https://www.instagram.com/christinakirkman/?hl=enhttps://www.tiktok.com/@christinakirkman?lang=enFollow Manana:https://www.instagram.com/mananamarieehttps://www.tiktok.com/@mananamarieehttps://www.youtube.com/@mananamariee Learn more about your ad choices.
