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!!!Nicole Kidman applies lotion in Episode 2 of The Undoing at 8:10.

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

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!

Quarantine

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. Got something to get off your chest?

The Democratic Party + Iowa Caucus Recap

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: @xenaworrierprincessWatch Katie’s Cut vid, Lesbians Play Truth Or DrinkGot something to get off your chest?

iPads, sliding into DMs, and Lemonade - on this very special end of the decade Rant & Review, we discuss the culture and trends that made the 2010s. What will we ultimately remember of this decade? What were the best and worst in TV, movies, music, politics, celebrities, and the internet? With special guest Tim Jolliff, we dive into the angsty and kale-ridden 2010’s to discuss anything and everything that mattered about the last 10 years.Got something to get off your chest?

The 2010s Decade Review (w/ Tim Jolliff)

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.Follow Kristin on social: @andawhamybarFollow Skate Like A Girl: @skatelikeagirl and check out their website: Skate Like A GirlGot something to get off your chest?

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?

Thanksgiving (Bon Appetit Making Perfect 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.Got something to get off your chest?

Getting Old (w/ Laura Sullivan Cassidy)

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.Follow Elissa on Twitter @ElissaBall and Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/htdtarot/Got something to get off your chest?

Going Viral (w/ Claire Buss)

National politics got ya down? Well, have we got an answer for you - on this extra special episode reviewing “Representation”, we welcome Washington State Senator Joe Nguyen to the pod! First, Katie and Allison rant about annoying office politics, then discuss impeachment and how Nate Silver is suffering from late-stage pundit brain. Then we get local as we chat with the State Senator from Washington’s 34th District, Joe Nguyen. He’s been called the AOC of Washington State and wears joggers to the office, but we get straight into substance and discuss his plans for the coming year, how to create real structural change in government through inclusion and diversity, and how a small minority of representatives can make a huge difference against the establishment.Got something to get off your chest?

Ya wanna be on top? And bottom, because we’re verse, hunney! It’s September, which means we had to cover the world of fashion - but with a gay citrus twist. We’re joined by Ryland Quillen to review Queer Fashion and we start with a rundown of our style evolutions and reviewing our Fall Lewks. Then we play a game of “Fash or Trash” to decide which queer trends need to be sent to the fashion graveyard. We also discuss some queer icons of fashion herstory and how the industry is evolving to center more queer and marginalized people.Follow @rylandquillen on Instagram.Got something to get off your chest?

Queer Fashion (w/ Ryland Quillen)

In this episode of non-stop deep sighs, Katie and Allison are joined by Calvin Jones of Tech 4 Housing to review the incredibly important topic of Housing. First, we discuss the most recent democratic debates and why the media is letting Joe Biden off the hook, and then rant about SNL casting VERY racist comedian Shane Gillis, who is also VERY bad at apologies. For our review, we unpack the complex and thorny issues of housing, the work being done by advocates to humanize unhoused people, why it’s so hard to get public policy passed to create missing middle housing in Seattle and other cities nationwide (spoiler alert white privilege!!), and how big tech has been implicated in the housing crisis and how tech workers could be part of a solution. Recently, homelessness has been weaponized as a fear tactic both locally in conservative media Sinclair stations (Seattle Is Dying) and nationally on Fox News and by Trump, so it’s more important than ever to learn about how everyone should get involved with housing advocacy and discussing housing as a human right.
