    Laugh Lines

    Laugh Lines

    Reading The Sabbath and watching The Frisco Kid. Why scroll when you could build cathedrals in time? The orange tree gives two negronis and a troubling preference for bad movies is questioned. When blood becomes digital and gardens are raised. Why talk about the form at all? Sweating in the sheets…the WHOOP is consulted. There are robots that are friends, and then there are robots that are therapists. Thank God, Art. It was never about replication—it was always about being asked to stand in front of the color blue. Which containers are suitable for souls? Jacqueline as Politician and Kate as Public Relations. Creator, Realtor, Builder. On Poog, we’re always coming from a God-first place, and sometimes also scratching the neck while talking. To be introduced to jargon… No need to reply now.
    Brands mentioned: Marion Park, WHOOP, NIRA Anti-Aging Precision Laser, Eight Sleep, SharkNinjaBegging for: Misfits Market, simplehuman, PureLift Pro (please)

    River Flowing Backwards

    River Flowing Backwards

    The inevitability of developing cortisol face and the lawlessness of Zoom support groups. With talk of a rancher’s husband, Kate requires a Buddhism IV drip directly to the arm. With the instinct to avoid everything...a new whole-foods, plant-based lifestyle is embraced. If you’re dying, you’re alive. How to prepare hibiscus tea and acknowledge varying pronunciation. Jacqueline contemplates comedy on canvas and the impact of the Artist’s Posture. Dr. Greger's Daily Dozen is thoroughly reviewed. Having to both boil and cool the potatoes will drive Kate to shatter every glass in the house. When the student is ready, the teacher reappears. Poog is a rumor mill and this is not The Daily. Emergency egg bites and a seat next to a coughing stranger. Kate is confronted with a mysterious object in her hotel room…Jacqueline investigates.
    Brands: Our Place, Hurom Juicer, Rip Esselstyn's PLANTSTRONG

    All About Gut Health (RE-RELEASE)

    All About Gut Health (RE-RELEASE)

    The hags deliver you a morning Poog. Colonics are the primary concern. Jacqueline had one. Kate wants one. Can they get one together? Early surgery and the romance of dying on the table, any table. Being awake while under anesthesia. The importance of Astral Projection. Pre-biotics, pro-biotics, leaky gut and extinction events. Glyphosate and Round Up causing our cells to forget their identity. Lingering in the the hypnogogic phase for creative gains.

    Two Hogs Sewn Together

    Two Hogs Sewn Together

    Beauty and wellness tips from two hogs. Sorry, which hole? Rest assured this is Vaudeville, there was no mirror. You wanna go to Kate’s Cafe? A 'W' so flowery it evokes music. Elizabeth & Sarah & Tracy & Me. The shoes are wet, but these feet don’t sweat. If there’s a Jacqueline link, the hags need to come through. She was pumped! Awe and concern at seeing both anus and V. There’s something kind of desert-pleasing about it. Eight. Plate. Settings. You think I'd have a Seder and not invite you? Wonder Oven Closure and Kate reacts to hearing 'Jack and Diane' for the first time.
    Brands: Tower, FaceGym, Breville Bambino, The Tracy Anderson Method, Capezio, SkinskoolBegging For: Pure Lift, Our Place Slow Cooker & Always Pan

    Torn Basil

    Torn Basil

    Jacqueline enters in felted mules, stung. A doctor abused Kate by not taking her call. Extreme sport bandaids, flying hydrocolloidals. Acting is real and ADT is a scam. Major. Depressive. Disorder. A pharmacy run-in a la Magnolia while riding the generic wave, Jacqueline keeps going home med-less. Kate struggled with a VIP wristband and some of the most miserable men she's encountered. 'Darling' as a vessel for aggression. Radical acceptance, a joyless park ranger, and a crane.  Biting into a hot strawberry? Three nights of Acquapazza. Welcome to Cook’s Corner.
    Brands discussed: Electrolytes: LMNT. SUPERIEUR. SIMPLISAFE. LILY's CHOCOLATE. MZ SKIN.
    Big gifts have landed: WONDER OVEN & HUROM JUICER

    I Work Nights

    I Work Nights

    Finally, a pharmacy with a restaurant! What if Kate was a big-jugged nurse on the night shift, and Jacqueline always ordered directly from the Goop Kitchen app? Dr. Loretta on the doorstep, and it really is much easier to bring those boxes through to the back... What’s wrong with having a little fun with yourself? A tooth un-fills and the comfort of this friendship through it all. Jar, but with someone else. A gentle way to start the day may be returning. There will be enough life jackets on the Poog Cruise. The pot is hot—but the stone? It’s 500 degrees. Put her to work, boys! Jacqueline debuts a new voice and explains how to raise a lap cat and hard seer cabbage. Rep yourself before you die!
    Earnestly Begging for: Goop Kitchen vouchers, Pure Lift, Brands Mentioned: Dr. Loretta, Tower, Fenty, Charlotte Tilbury, Biologique Recherche
