Janie & Paul invite you to subscribe.
Folks, it’s us! Janie Haddad Tompkins (an actress) & Paul F. Tompkins (a comedian). We’re a married couple, living in Los Angeles and we started a humorous conversation podcast together in the Spring of 2020 called STAY F. HOMEKINS. Don’t believe us? Well, it’s here, ya thick lugs: STAY F. HOMEKINS the podcast (click the link for PROOF!) We even have fun movie “watchalongs” that you can listen to synced up with the film of choice, but don’t listen IF YOU HATE FUN.
During lockdown of Lord Covidian the 19th, we started our weekly chat and shared it with the world! Through this miraculous era, where anyone with a computer and a microphone can just start a podcast, we allowed our silly selves to just spin the eff out for the rest of the world to hear!
And got featured in the 2020 top 10 humor podcast list from Vulture here.
When vaccines happened we eventually trickled the podcast episodes to come out on the second Friday of every month because we had to not stay f. home anymore, as opposed to our previous weekly episode schedule…which has lead us to SUBSTACK .
Why start this Substack? For us, the BEST part of STAY F. HOMEKINS is the terrific sense of joy and community we developed with our listeners. But, with our unpredictable post-pandemic lives (is the pandy over? who knows!), we wanted to stay connected in more direct ways. We have a stayfhomekins gmail address, but it got overwhelming and littered with spam (it is still there, it is just difficult to wade through)! The word on the street is this is a really streamlined and efficient way of communicating to the world what all we’re up to or thinkin’ or feelin’ or whatnot and lettin’ other like minded subscribers get to chattin’.
How come this is “Weekend Water” when your pod was named STAY F. HOMEKINS? Our Friday night recordings are when we pour ourselves a weekend water of choice, a cocktail, a mocktail, what have you…weekend water is that feeling of letting your hair down and getting to a place of flow and absurdist conversation and thought. When you subscribe to WEEKEND WATER, you will receive missives from Janie and Paul that will include musings, photos, recordings and videos (do they allow holograms?) from their day to day existence in show business and adventures as a couple. Janie (that’s me) likes to write essays and share what it is like to duke it out as a journeyman actor in Tinseltown and Paul (that is not me!) loves to share his comedy updates and access to his podcast appearances and live shows and premium comedy content that he (no longer) shares on Twitter (he totally quit, lol, he is smarter than me), which in my opinion is pretty worth the subscription (I am biased, but he is the GOAT!)
Together, they (us? ugh I am so CHAOTIC with tenses and points of view, point of views?) will craft posts and updates in between the podcast. For example something that often happens is we will want to share a humorous anecdote but the podcast recording might not be happening for another three weeks!
WEEKEND WATER is the real behind the scenes content of Janie, Paul and JanieandPaul. (Was trying to do a thing there, we are only two people but we are one couple. Whoa. Trippy).
SOOOOO we invite you to SUBSCRIBE to get full access to the duo with no ads from THE MAN or brain-hijacking algorithms; just our peaceful, unfettered content drops.
To never miss an update, sign up BELOOOWWWWW! xoxo, JHT (&PFT)
