We’re headed back to school this week on Unqualified as Professors Anna and Sim hang out with their students at USC and chat with the hilarious actor, Jake Johnson (New Girl, Safety Not Guaranteed, Tag), about topics like…

  • Podcasting
  • Acting and Embarrassing Auditions
  • Tampon Commercials
  • Bad Press and Clickbait
  • Female Corrections Officers

In lieu of callers this week, Anna, Sim, and Jake are talking to USC students and helping them with their relationship problems…

  • Ashley is a USC junior dealing with a hook-up that moved way too quickly then fizzled out suddenly; she’s seeking advice on how to proceed with this hook-up to avoid awkward encounters in the future.
  • Elyse is a USC senior from New Jersey who will be graduating soon and is confused as to what her next move should be and how to prioritize her career with her relationships.

Go check out Jake’s new film, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.
