UNDRESSED WITH POL' AND PATRIK

Wendy Braun is back, and it takes an unexpected turn from spicy hot sauce and outrageous travel confessions to one of our deepest Armenian coffee readings yet. Wendy arrives bearing a gift straight from “Jury Duty Presents: Company Retreat” — vintage bottles of Rocking Grandma’s Hot Sauce — which sends us into a hilarious conversation about television memorabilia, collectibles, and our obsession with bringing home souvenirs from famous sets and palaces.

What begins as a playful exchange quickly spirals into stories about high tea at the Laura Ashley manor in Wales, questionable salt-and-pepper-shaker acquisitions, and why Pol proudly embraces his title as a “collecto.” Between laughs, Wendy shares behind-the-scenes details about “Jury Duty,” reveals that Season 3 will feature an entirely new cast, and encourages us to audition.

Then it’s time for Wendy’s Armenian coffee reading.

Pol' immediately sees a woman who has always known exactly what she wanted out of life: a successful career, a loving husband, and a family. Wendy opens up about meeting her soulmate years before they started dating and recalls the pivotal moment she told him that if he planned to surf the world in a van, he wasn’t the man she would build a future with. Twenty years of marriage later, she admits that while awards and Emmy recognition are exciting, nothing compares to coming home to her husband and children.

The conversation dives into astrology as Wendy reveals she’s a double Aries with a Gemini rising and Taurus moon, sparking an emotional connection when Pol realizes Wendy shares the exact birthday of both his mother and his oldest friend.

As the reading continues, Pol' uncovers Wendy’s remarkable ability to compartmentalize pain while carrying the emotional weight of a fractured relationship. He offers an unexpected exercise: write a letter, mail it to yourself, and release the guilt that comes from loving someone who may no longer be emotionally available. Wendy candidly reflects on boundaries, chosen family, and the complicated reality of loving people through mental health struggles.

The reading shifts back to joy as Pol' describes Wendy’s home life as an oasis built on teamwork, support, and unconditional love. He predicts a deeply personal project on Wendy’s horizon that will bring fulfillment far beyond anything she expects.

Then, in one of the episode’s most emotional moments, Wendy shares the final words her late father left on her answering machine before his passing in 1997: “Keep going, sunshine.” The phrase became her lifelong mantra, carrying her through rejection, motherhood, success, and heartbreak. Together, we talk about what it means to be creative warriors in Hollywood — to get knocked down, stand back up, and keep fighting for your dreams.

We also reminisce about the masks we designed and sent to Wendy during COVID, proving that even the smallest acts of kindness can become lifelong memories.

By the end of the episode, Wendy leaves feeling hopeful, inspired, and convinced that something beautiful is still waiting around the corner — and we couldn’t agree more.

This episode of Undressed with Pol' and Patrik is packed with hilarious debates, celebrity fashion critiques, behind-the-scenes Hollywood stories, and one of our favorite conversations with the incredibly talented Wendy Braun.

We kick things off with our Haute Topics segment, diving into workplace burnout, mandatory team building, LinkedIn culture, artificial intelligence, and whether ChatGPT is making people more creative—or simply making everyone lazy. Wendy shares her unique perspective on company culture, authenticity, auditions, and why loving what you do may be the ultimate cure for burnout.

Then we tackle one of the biggest headlines of the year—Elon Musk potentially becoming the world's first trillionaire. What starts as a funny conversation about having Elon's baby quickly turns into a deeper discussion about philanthropy, responsibility, Mars, space travel, and how unimaginable wealth could change the future of humanity.

Things get surprisingly emotional as we discuss teamwork, trust, relationships, toxic environments, and how actors survive constant rejection while staying authentic. Wendy shares incredible wisdom about auditions, not attaching meaning to rejection, and why showing up as your authentic self is the greatest competitive advantage anyone can have.

We also pull back the curtain on AI, LinkedIn culture, Amazon productions, NDA secrets, meeting Jeff Bezos, and why Hollywood often keeps projects hidden for years before audiences ever see them.

Next it's time for one of our favorite segments—Runway Rundown—where no celebrity is safe. We hilariously critique red carpet looks from Ariana DeBose, Drew Barrymore, and Maya Rudolph, discussing tailoring, styling disasters, proportions, craftsmanship, and why expensive fashion doesn't always equal fabulous fashion. Along the way we share unforgettable stories about designing for the legendary Betty White, why the red carpet exists, and how fashion has the power to completely reinvent someone's career and confidence.

The tables turn when Wendy becomes our surprise Runway Rundown winner after we discover one of her breathtaking editorial photo shoots. We break down every detail that made the image Vogue-worthy while talking modeling, movement, photography, and working with celebrity photographer Mike Ruiz.

Then the laughs continue during our outrageous Game Time segment featuring "Company Retreat or Defeat," where Wendy hilariously chooses between trust falls, pyramid schemes, goat yoga, silent discos, rage rooms, axe throwing, therapy, and more. She even reveals the improv audition that landed one of her biggest roles, proving that sometimes goat yoga really can help you book a job.

Filled with heartfelt advice, laugh-out-loud moments, Hollywood insider stories, celebrity fashion critiques, and unforgettable behind-the-scenes revelations, this episode reminds us that authenticity, confidence, kindness, and a little couture can change absolutely everything.

Hollywood is buzzing about Wendy Braun, and after sitting down with her, we completely understand why! In this episode of UNDRESSED: THE INTERVIEW, we get to know the incredibly talented actress behind the Emmy-worthy buzz surrounding Jury Duty Company Retreat and revisit the remarkable career that has made her one of television's most recognizable faces.

From starring in Atypical, General Hospital, Grey's Anatomy, This Is Us, Bones, Castle, Criminal Minds, and more than 80 IMDb credits, Wendy opens up about the long road to success, including the heartbreaking rejection that saw ten of Hollywood's top commercial agents turn her away before she went on to book 19 national commercials in a single year. She also shares the surreal moment of working alongside her childhood crush, David Cassidy, dancing in The Big Lebowski, performing with Earth, Wind & Fire and Natalie Cole, and why every rejection ultimately prepared her for the opportunities she's enjoying today.

We also dive deep into one of television's most talked-about new comedies, Jury Duty Company Retreat, where Wendy reveals the unbelievable behind-the-scenes secrets that have everyone talking. From performing dangerous stunt work in a single take to acting alongside someone who had no idea they were starring in a television series, she explains how the production combines scripted comedy with hidden cameras in one of the most ambitious concepts we've ever heard. It's unlike anything currently on television and her stories had us completely
fascinated.

Of course, we couldn't resist sharing plenty of laughs
along the way. From remodeling our new studio and almost spray-painting
ourselves into oblivion, to hair transplant confessions, Captain Fun hats,
fashion talk, and our ongoing acting rivalry, the conversation goes everywhere in the best possible way. Wendy also gives us a masterclass on mindset, explaining why chasing authenticity instead of perfection has been the secret to her longevity in Hollywood.

One of our favorite moments comes when Wendy talks about choosing motherhood over career opportunities that would have taken her away from her family. Her heartfelt perspective on raising two remarkable sons reminds us that while awards and success are wonderful, family is the legacy that matters most. It's an emotional conversation filled with honesty, inspiration, and genuine gratitude.

Join us as we laugh, reminisce, celebrate Wendy's incredible career, and discover why everyone from Mike Ruiz to Emmy voters is talking about her.

And don't miss what's coming next, because Wendy joins us tomorrow for UNDRESSED: THE HOT SEAT, where we tackle today's hottest headlines, fashion, and plenty of surprises!

Today on Undressed with Pol' and Patrik, we're taking you behind the scenes of one of the most emotional—and hilarious—weekends we've had in years: Patrik's 40th Walnut High School Reunion!

What started as a simple reunion quickly turned into an unforgettable road trip filled with laughter, shocking observations, unexpected friendships and plenty of classic Pol' and Patrik commentary.

Before we even arrived, we debated everything from what to wear to whether Idyllwild even existed. We quickly discovered winding mountain roads, scenic overlooks (or at least what Patrik thought were scenic overlooks), tiny cabins, quirky hotels and a mountain town that completely surprised us.

We share the hilarious truth about checking into our rustic mountain lodge, meeting the unforgettable owner Raj, navigating tiny showers, questionable TV reception, and why our "upgraded room" became one of the funniest stories of the weekend.

Then came the first reunion event at the Idyllwild Winery, where we reunited with classmates we hadn't seen in forty years. We talk about the excitement, the nerves, the reality of seeing everyone after decades, and how life has changed for all of us. We laugh about reunion fashion, reminiscing over high school memories, reconnecting with old friends, hearing stories we'd never heard before, and watching complete strangers accidentally crash our reunion tables.

Along the way we share hilarious observations about mountain life, why every business seemed to fly rainbow flags, why Patrik thought Idyllwild looked like a witness protection program, and how one mountain town created enough comedy material to last an entire season.

Dinner brought another unforgettable moment after an awkward encounter at a local Mexican restaurant turned into a conversation about kindness, inclusion and remembering how simple gestures can create lifelong friendships. We even share the incredible story of how a chance dinner years ago introduced us to friends we still travel the world with today.

We wrap up Part One over drinks at the local brewery, catching up with classmates who now live all over the world—including discovering two former classmates who unknowingly relocated just miles from each other in Costa Rica.

It's funny, nostalgic, heartfelt and completely unfiltered as we begin reliving one of the most memorable weekends of our lives. Trust us...this reunion is only getting started.

What started as a simple trip to Patrik's 40-year Walnut High School reunion in Idyllwild turned into one of the most emotional weekends we've ever shared.

We take you behind the scenes of every hilarious, awkward and heartfelt moment—from classmates joking about escaping to Costa Rica, oversized breakfasts with SnowWhite90210, and our failed attempt at "hiking," to tequila shots on the reunion red carpet, luxury watches, mountain adventures and why Pol spent half the weekend trying to wake up a very sleepy Patrik.

Then everything changed.

One of Patrik's former high school football bullies—the same person who admitted to bullying him for being gay and even spit on him during a school play—walked across the room after 40 years to apologize. We relive the emotional conversation, what forgiveness really means, and why Pol wasn't about to let him off the hook without asking the question everyone else was thinking.

We also share the hilarious disaster of Patrik's misspelled reunion name badge (again!), discovering the memorial table for classmates we've lost, reconnecting with old friends, hearing about Patrik's very first girlfriend, dancing the night away, reliving California's infamous high school smoking section, and laughing over stories only classmates from the Class of '86 could appreciate.

Along the way we talk about growing older, chasing dreams, finding happiness, surviving high school, and realizing just how far life has taken us—from Walnut High School to television, fashion, radio and beyond.

We also revisit the emotional story of Pol being honored by his Armenian school years ago, the acceptance speech that accidentally left Patrik out, and why they're still laughing about it today.

Of course, no episode would be complete without Armenian Coffee Reading moments, SnowWhite90210 stealing the spotlight, travel tips for Idyllwild, a shout-out to Raj and The Bunkhouse, plenty of celebrity-style fashion commentary, and the playful banter that makes our marriage—and this podcast—so much fun.

If you've ever wondered whether you should attend your high school reunion, this episode may just convince you to go... because sometimes healing, forgiveness, unexpected laughter and lifelong friendships are waiting 40 years later.

Best Quote

"Closure doesn't come from the apology—it comes from the life you've built."
