    We're Baaack - 2020 Recap (Bon Appetit, Election, Nicole Kidman)

    We're back to recap this mess of a year with absolutely no structure or rules. Rules are out the window, baby. Apparently the most important topics of 2020 were the Bon Appetit meltdown, Kamala in her running outfit, and Nicole Kidman applying lotion in The Undoing. Here's to 2021 and our brains ejecting all of 2020 from our memories!!!

    Quarantine

    We've taken a bit of a break while the world actually falls completely apart, but we're back with a review of living under quarantine! Is self-isolation driving you to bake bread? Which celebrity is absolutely not able to cope with the threat of coronavirus? We discuss how we've been dealing with quarantine due to COVID-19 in the Seattle area and the frightening prospects for how the government will be dealing with things. Stay inside! Wash your hands!

    The Democratic Party + Iowa Caucus Recap

    The Democratic Party + Iowa Caucus Recap

    Wow, could anything be more of a shitshow than the 2020 Democratic Primary, and specifically the Iowa Caucus? Listen as Katie and Allison struggle through understanding any of the fraught details of the first “election” of the primary season - which most likely won’t count, and might not ever happen again! They also work through, as Warren supporters, what it means to have Bernie break through as decided front runner, and what exactly bothers us so much about Pete Buttigieg.

    The L Word: Generation Q (w/ Maddy Court)

    The L Word: Generation Q (w/ Maddy Court)

    Katie and Allison are joined by special guest Maddy Court (@xenaworrierprincess) to unpack our feelings about The L Word: Generation Q. We attempt to unravel the confusing plot lines and character motivations of Bette, Shane, Alice, and the rest on this Very Important Lesbian Drama. Who’s the worst boss, Alice or Shane? Have you ever been so stressed by your L.A. mayoral campaign you have to stop and cook a tajine? Is it offensive to paint your trans boyfriend as a merman? And the most important question of all: IS THIS SHOW QUEER?!? We get to the bottom of all that and more, plus a lil rant at the beginning about Katie’s latest viral vid for Cut. *Warning! We discuss the whole season and this episode contains spoilers!*

Allison should seek help

I saw a pretty wild out of the blue extremely rude tweet Allison made on Twitter. It was rude and uncalled for. I can only image you would be so rude to a curious person because you are unhappy with some aspect of your life.

I downloaded this app, just so I could wright this review.

Allison got ratioed on the post. Hard.

Smart Takes over Hot Takes

Katie and Allison are highly enjoyable, insightful and funny. Most conversational podcasts suffering from lack of editing, but these two never miss a beat or have a lull. The episodes are timely and lately have been brining in talent to discuss recent topics (*and I cannot wait until they bring on the mysterious K-eer-an [sp?] we have been hearing about in recent episodes).
