Poog Air Nov 16, 2021

Show notes

This week the hags live symbolically, hovering over a pulsating rug. Kate reveals her laundry dungeon. Jacqueline vitalizes her chi. Moths dance. A salad is in the mix. Milk gets frothed on the brink of death. Airline gimmicks, airline beef, the miracle of the “blue drink”. What was the plan with plastic, anyway? People in the 1300s certainly couldn’t tell you. Ultimately, the fear of information must make way for transformation, and a high-profile Poog x Major Airline crossover may well be underway…

Canned cocktails are considered. Bandier, Adam Selman, the yearning for active wear. Are beauty treatments tax deductible for the hosts of Poog? The couple’s massage question.

The Poog Awards Oct 26, 2021

Show notes

The holidays are approaching and the hags have noticed. Jacqueline and Kate talk 911, the civil service and the Krause/Nate-led TV show. Kate reminds listeners of Sephora’s return policy and provides an Athletic Greens update. Jacqueline has paid for wifi that did not work two plane rides in a row and wonders if her lypospheric vitamins are rotting. Good fences make good neighbors and the acts fly by. Note: Kate casually made this week’s zoom meeting without a thought or a mention in the ep.
