Paid in Puke Podcast: If I Had Legs I’d Kick You

On season 11 episode 2 of Paid in Puke, we’re digging into Mary Bronstein‘s semi-autobiographical dramedy, If I Had Legs I’d Kick You, starring Rose Byrne, A$AP Rocky, Conan O’Brien, and Christian Slater. The story follows Linda, a woman at the end of her rope dealing with full-time care for her ailing daughter, an absent husband, her talk therapy practice, an increasingly contentious relationship with her own therapist, and a supernaturally gaping wet hole in the ceiling of her apartment. 

We all loved this movie for different reasons. But we agree that Rose Byrne is a powerhouse, Bronstein is a genius, and sometimes ordinary life, especially for women, can feel like a horror movie. 

On The Lunchtime Poll, we talk about a time when we were already struggling, and an authority figure seemingly relished in using the letter of the law to make matters worse.

15 Stars Who Had To Work For A-Listers Before They Made It Big

We’ve all had that fantasy about telling our bosses to stuff it and quitting our day jobs to follow our dreams. But in Hollywood, sometimes your boss just happens to be a big star and working for them is an important step on the road to success. Maybe one day, you can cash in on the fact that you babysat one of the Jolie-Pitts or picked up Bradley Cooper’s dry cleaning.

Before they hit it big the stars on this list were workaday stiffs just like the rest of us. Okay, so some of these stars had connections and opportunities that weren’t open to the average Joe or Josephine. Maybe some of them didn’t even really need the work for, say, monetary purposes. The important thing is that these celebrities spent time working under someone else before they found success and became their own bosses.

Plus, the struggle is relative. Kim Kardashian’s early employment probably seemed really hard to her. Maybe Allison Williams is extra nice to her personal assistant because she’s been on the other side of things. Aspiring young actors take note: babysitting child stars and famous offspring is a perfectly legitimate jumping off point for a career in the entertainment industry.

Here are 15 Stars Who Had To Work For Other Stars Before They Made It.
