Are you ready for your closeup? After a couple of weeks of having some of their favorite former co-stars on the pod (Nine-Nine!), Stephanie and Melissa are feeling real thespian. This week, they&rsquo;re talking about Acting. From their theater school roots to their thoughts on method acting, strap in because we&rsquo;re getting realllllllll nerdy. And the Oscar for best podcast listener in the world goes to&hellip; you!

Real-life friends and stars of the hit TV show Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Stephanie Beatriz and Melissa Fumero, team up for a weekly podcast that will have you laughing, crying, and crying with laughter. They’ll talk about it all while helping each other (and us) be better – MORE better.

Join these amigas as they take us on their personal ride through all aspects of life and share the juiciest cheat codes for adulting, while throwing in some hilarious anecdotes and probably a few embarrassing stories. In their careers and personal lives (both are married with children), they often find themselves leaning on each other for advice and laughs. Follow Stephanie and Melissa as they keep it real, and real fun on their journey to be little MORE better.

Welcome back, More Bettie Boops — it’s a Very Special Day! Today is the season two finale of More Better and we're doing a… Progress Report. Dun dun dunnnnn. *Dramatic Gopher* Join us as Steph and Mel look back on 80 episodes of the pod and dig in to see if they’re actually doing … any … more … better? Maybe? Buckle up because they’re checking in on everything they said they’d try to get better at: hobbies, workouts, packing, reading, museums, horseback riding — you name it. And spoiler alert: they didn't do all of it. But they did SOME of it. And honestly? That’s really good. Plus! Make sure you stick around for our audience progress report submissions, because they are both heartwarming (Shoutout Gabriel for reading eight books!!! Go off King!!!) and unhinged (Bettie Boop Mara accidentally mailed a broken knife to Nintendo HQ in an attempt to clean out her junk drawer and now she’s maybe on some kind of watch list? We fear you are iconic, Mara.) We laugh we cry we keep it moving and DON’T look back, all while surrounded by our community (That’s you!). Thanks for another fab seaz, friends!! We're all doing our best. And even if you get the knife sent back in the mail, at least you tried.
