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!!!

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!

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.

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!* Follow Maddy on Insta: @xenaworrierprincess Watch Katie’s Cut vid, Lesbians Play Truth Or Drink: https://youtu.be/TiXsVVj2hok Got something to get off your chest? Leave us a voicemail with your rant at 805-635-RANT Email us at [email protected] Rate and review our podcast on Apple Podcasts!

It got a little TOO loose on the intro of this ep and got really sidetracked with a discussion on Yoni Eggs (blame Katie’s massage therapist Gail), but then things got back on board with a game where Allison quizzes Katie on common action sports terms. Then for the main review, the gals get into a really amazing discussion with Kristin Ebeling of Skate Like A Girl. They review how it feels to be a non-straight white cis dude in the sport, and have a frank convo about how it’s evolving in the era of #MeToo and “cancel culture”, activism and the push for more equity and inclusion, and the work folks like Kristin are doing to make skating more safe for all.

So, we started out this episode wanting to cover everything Thanksgiving, but we ended up ranting about the Bon Appetit “Making Perfect” Thanksgiving series for the entire time - we just had that much to say about it. Join us as we critique the BA cast’s version of a Thanksgiving feast, from the turkey to the pie. Why did Chris Morocco decide to make fried rice? What the hell is a German Butterball and how is it not a turkey? Who is the person this Thanksgiving meal is for? All this, plus our idea of a perfect Thanksgiving in our review!

Ok boomer, have we got an ep for you. Katie and Allison check in with gen z and their new meme making fun of the olds and then dive into a discussion about aging with Very Cool Person who is also slightly older than them, Laura Sullivan Cassidy! They chat about why getting old sucks, lack of representation in the media of women of a certain age, and throw around some ideas about why J. Lo is just apparently ageless. Laura Sullivan Cassidy is a writer and runs an agency called Full Bleed. Check her out at http://laurasullivancassidy.com/ Got something to get off your chest?

In a world full of frustration and discontent, one thing is for sure - folks sure do love astrology right now. So we unpack the mysteries and metaphysics of horoscopes with our special guest, writer and astrologer Elissa Ball. First, we discuss the most recent Democratic Debates and assign an astrological sign to each of the candidates based on their personalities (the fire of Tulsi! The turmoil of Mayor Pete! The deliberate conviction of Liz!). Then we chat with Elissa about why people seem so drawn to astrology right now, what kinds of things she helps people deal with, and how it can help with relationships.
