Chain of Duels Kristin & Esther

Kathleen, if you’re still listening--knock three times! HEY GUYS, it’s the first CoDcast of 2020, and BOY ARE WE RUSTY. So what if we recorded this in 2019? This has some real 2020 energy, so let’s just roll with it. This ep, your girls go deep on Esther’s glorious beverage masterpiece known as SHOT CHOCOLATE, Kristin’s various Hulk Hand receptacles, Esther’s then-recent move into The House at the Top of the House, and the evolution of Kristin’s filthy word habit (THANKS DAD). Do we shove ourselves into a grudge/cry box? We sure don’t! (Spoiler alert). Our duel this week is THE GREATEST DAVID. This topic has a specific origin story that we FOR SURE get into in extreme detail, so buckle up, start a friends-with-benefits situation with some furniture, and get ready for a DAVIDTASTIC TIME.

Takeaway quote: “I was a floater in God’s eye.”

Highlights:
+ “SH*THOOKS!”
+ What kind of Shere Kahn situation?
+ Kristin attempts to steer past a Tim McGraw Crooning Session, but DOES SHE MAKE IT
+ A VERY SPECIAL SOLO INTERLUDE
+ Tom Hardy face blindness
+ We dig a little into our own lore and boy howdy are there some unwieldy bits
+ Also Esther tells you pretty much everything except who Baby is, BABY IS THE LEOPARD if you didn’t get that (you’ll know when you get there)
+ “Did you smack him on the OFDAVID?”
+ Gentle podcast recommendations!
+ Episode timer, aka Esther’s bladder
+ A SURPRISE SECOND SOLO INTERLUDE

Well folks, we are officially in the double digits with episodes! We don’t bring that up in our recording, however we DO talk about the Gregorian calendar a surprising lot up top, so there’s that! Our duel this week is Sea Creature We Would Be for a Day (hint, it’s definitely NOT a lady dolphin). Also it is of course no longer Virgo Season (nor September), but it certainly was when we recorded, as noted several times.

Takeaway quote: “I’m wolf-married to West Side Story.”

+ We welcome our newest (head-canon) listener: OPG!
+ “Did you watch Mary Poppins growing up?” “Of course I did, LOOK AT ME!!!!”
+ Esther’s nephew 100 percent steals the scene in her Cry Corner
+ The Grudge Corner: The Shets and the Jarks (with an unexpected detour into Little Women BECAUSE WE CAN)
+ Dear Father Triton
+ Kristin teaches us about “I-Hope-You-Dance Situations” as they relate to aquatic mating rituals and you are SO VERY WELCOME

+ The importance of vegetation-based anchor points
+ Both cheeks out
