Open-Air Aunties (with Geena Rocero) May 28, 2024

Show notes

Multi-hyphenate queen Geena Rocero joins the Aunties to talk about her book, “Horse Barbie.” Geena’s memoir follows her journey from trans beauty pageant queen in the Philippines to big name model in New York City, and why she had to go “undercover” in America. Geena shares her favorite thrifting spot in California, and they talk about how a spring roll or taco becomes “open-air” food. Plus, like all great Aunties, Geena snagged a great deal on a new beauty device she can’t wait to try.

Lemonada has teamed up with Apple Books to bring you the Lemonada Book Club. “Horse Barbie” by Geena Rocero is our audiobook of the month! Listen here.

Joyful Recollections of Trauma with Paul Scheer May 21, 2024

Show notes

It’s not Christmas yet, but Paul Scheer is gifting us with his cart and his new memoir, “Joyful Recollections of Trauma.” Paul sits down with the Aunties for a heart-to-heart like you’ve never heard before. They talk about his childhood, especially looking back as a parent of two, and how we learn to navigate relationships with our own parents into adulthood. It’s a conversation that shows laughter is not too far behind a good cry. Plus, as one third of How Did This Get Made?, Paul unpacks on co-host Jason Mantzoukas’ cube philosophy.

The Aunties Are Getting Out Apr 16, 2024

Show notes

Spring has sprung, and the Aunties want to feel the wind on their skin (moisturized and with SPF, of course). The Pak-Benders embarked on Van Life, which has been long in the making. The journey had its ups and downs, and SuChin is reflecting on lessons learned. Like, what does dinnertime look like for four people in a treehouse? Meanwhile, Kulap has been attending shows on shows, and talks about what that means for her after the pandemic and writer’s strike.

The Cult of Knick Knacks (with Amanda Montell) Apr 09, 2024

Show notes

You’re in a cult! You’re in a cult! We’re allll in a cult! Amanda Montell, host of Sounds Like A Cult and all-around smartest person, joins the Aunties this week. She talks about her new book “The Age of Magical Overthinking,” and dives into why we add more things into our life when the solution is to pare down (the call is coming inside the house!) But that won’t stop Amanda – or the Aunties – from collecting things that just scratch that itch. Like lemon bells, LED candlesticks and bike figurines that remind her of Amsterdam. To quote Taylor Swift: “I got a blank space, baby…” and I’ll fill it with knick knacks.

Hella Immigrant (with Susan Lieu) Apr 02, 2024

Show notes

Author and playwright Susan Lieu joins the pod this week to create a trifecta of Asian Auntie shenanigans. She talks about writing her first memoir, “The Manicurist’s Daughter,” which chronicles her search for answers after losing her mother to a botched tummy tuck. It’s an emotionally raw conversation that will leave you hopeful that generational healing is just as real as the trauma. Then, the Aunties dive into her cart, which is truly an ode to Costco and its generous return policy. Susan also shares her solution to inflating matcha latte prices.

Lemonada has teamed up with Apple Books to bring you the Lemonada Book Club. “The Manicurist’s Daughter” by Susan Lieu is our audiobook of the month! Listen here.
