This week on Smiling Faces: The Podcast, Mike and Victoria catch up on team changes, friendship in business lessons, and the art of keeping it real when things shift behind the scenes. Mike shares a health update, Victoria unpacks her surprise viral TikTok moment, and together they talk fame, perception, and what’s next for their creative projects. Honest, funny, and forward looking it’s all about new chapters and better boundaries.

This week on Smiling Faces: The Podcast, Jess and Victoria welcome actor, director, Air Force reservist Micah Coate to help unpack one of the greatest plot twists in modern dating history: the moment Micah and Victoria realized they were both dating the same man formerly known as “Hoops,” now universally upgraded to “Poops.”

From Olympic level love bombing to surprise baby mama cameos to FaceTimes from suspiciously undecorated apartments, the trio turns red flags into roaring laughter.

They also dive into filmmaking chaos and why Mandy Patinkin is apparently 1000% more relaxed than every frantic production email implied. Toss in Jess’s luxury doorstep massages and Victoria’s Whole Foods Guy apology world tour, and you’ve got an episode that is messy, hilarious, and absolutely irresistible.

Where You Can Find Micah!

This week on Smiling Faces; The Podcast, Victoria and Jess take “the show must go on” to a whole new level. Their indie shoot turns into a full blown adventure last minute crew swaps, a director with a bad back, and Producer Mike literally collapsing for the cause (don’t worry, he’s fine just dehydrated, overworked, and now award winning).

Between near disasters and emergency flirtation with hot paramedics, the crew somehow pulls off a killer shoot proving good vibes and better friends can fix almost anything.

Meanwhile, Jess’s “no man summer” evolves into “one very good man fall,” and Victoria’s “Whole Foods guy” blurs the line between acting coach and chaos agent (note to all: biting isn’t method).

It’s laughter, drama, and a masterclass in grinning through the madness because on this set, not even a seizure can stop the smiles.
