The Belly of the Whale May 16, 2023

Show notes

Jacqueline enters vibrating from her bionic thighs. Kate fell asleep reading like Rembrandt. A cat sanctuary, the death of Caesar, historicity and a Hemp Virginia Slim. Modernity robs. A new high end hand cream with a pump saves. Doth the candle sconce profess too much? A profound psycho-spiritual breakthrough is made. Choose your invisible objects. Outside-in. The passive and active phases of the Dark Night. To preserve a facialist's show. Move your furniture today.

Instant Grief May 09, 2023

Show notes

Kate has been working out. Jacqueline’s “wedding” is a euphemism for taping her special. Naked dancing again. Should we fear the plastics of our blenders? The Jackie Special. Going beyond the breaking point. Where is Hyman? Racket sports crossing the midline. Cerebellum obsession. Conductors; trains or symphonies? A cat retrieval is attempted live on air. Renting out the spa. Avocado Chocolate Mousse. A certain cocktail made famous by Poog appears to be returning. Paths to remembering who you are. Can hags make How to Weep in Public a bestseller this week?

Hysterica Globosina May 02, 2023

Show notes

A glass of milk in its many forms. Advocating for your hunger as a guest in someone’s home. Push push box box, what percentage of the hags are already Formula 1 fans? Pain has arrived and left already since the last episode. New Erewhon sweets are sampled. Kate’s family farm comes up. No longer just bringing the hotel home but also bringing the dentist home. Balance seen in a new way. It’s countdown time to the special: what skincare will Jacqueline go with? Dateline. Donald. The 14th Street Trader Joe’s.

Soaring and Boring Apr 25, 2023

Show notes

The hags use a new device all throughout the episode. Tennis is part of the program now. A baby elephant eats sugarcane and hides behind a light post. Is a cinema practice worth starting? Jacqueline is in a Poog Vortex: her special is now on sale. A big salad. Aquarius is here once and for all. Here comes the turmeric! Was an alter ego the answer all along?

Nothing is Over Apr 18, 2023

Show notes

From Lamaze to Le Mans to Lyma to lemons. The conversation continues from last week on human amusements at the cost of disaster. A massive skinning. A negative in the sunlight. To think of the cold as pain. A visit to Burrow House. To surveil the parents. Can you drink too much electrolyte water? An Easter Bunny lurking behind the Westman Atelier. A sprung dance floor DIY. Kate conceives of a public safety idea. The willing suspension of disbelief.

Piss Only Apr 11, 2023

Show notes

The New Jersey sessions are more than airable. Kate’s in a hotel and hungry. Jacqueline did an ice plunge and took audio. A friend’s enthusiasm for The Bodyguard. The speed of the moon. The rollercoaster stomach drop. A series of measurements, unopened and expired. To shake from below. Continued next week.

It’s Okay It Will Decay Apr 04, 2023

Show notes

A “couple of comedy gals” are back after throwing an episode in the trash. The burned episode will be regularly referenced and it may just be airable, folks. Passive exercise is finally here. Gift us, don’t phone us. Vitamin C, can you use too much? Cultural references even in dreams. Food disposals for your shower. Poog in Monaco for F1 2024? Eating the menu again. Jacqueline tells Kate the way to see her daily. Spontaneous writhing, branded plastic, and if you’re gonna fuck me, at least look me in the eye.

You in a Backless Red Dress Mar 21, 2023

Show notes

Tartuffe, Boethius, Dante. The purges continue to free up psychic weight. Jacqueline records from her office-turned-Tracy Cave. Kate’s drawers have been dry-lubed and an Ikea dresser is about to hit the street. The longterm effects of laser hair removal are considered. How would K and J survive in the woods? The hags clarify their restaurant recommendations. Sloppy dress-up dinner at Musso’s in the next eight days? A hound for salsa.

You Threw It All Away Mar 14, 2023

Show notes

The hags reckon with the robotic vacuum, the hotel refund, and when a press kit is ignored. What was all their work for? Forget the leaf, consider the hands. To be turned on by one’s home. When a mug is left behind and spotted by a friend. Massage the termini. When laughter takes hold.

Call the Boys in Philly Mar 07, 2023

Show notes

Jacqueline records live from the greatest hotel in Austin and maybe anywhere, The Hotel St Cecilia. Kate just returned from a trip in a no-name hotel where the sole responsibility of a hotel was not fulfilled. Litigiousness. Bringing joy to the suits. When the card is down and it’s going on the tab. Poog Law begins.
