Eydie is looking for someone to video chat with her cat, and Leah is searching for ‘short-ass’ movie recommendations on Netflix! We also dive into how to ask for help, who to ask, and how you might share your gratitude. As always: fun, stories, and some take-aways that might just help you get exactly what you want!

Leah is not only sans Eydie but goes wildly off-script today, sharing how she is doing in the ‘current unpleasantness,’ to steal a term from Liz Dolan of the Satellite Sisters, my favorite podcast in the world, next to ours. I talk about what’s happening in Beijing and how I'm dealing with it in addition to dipping into some social anxiety I am experiencing. Getting vulnerable, folks! Hope you have some good takeaways…

Leah and Eydie talk about getting real and not trying to sugar coat what’s going on in their lives. We toss around the phrase “toxic positivity” as we come to grips with our gripes.

Confession: we kept this podcast short because we both had to pee! Speaking of which, listen in to Leah’s upstair’s neighbor taking a shower as she shares her fascination with celebrities in the bathroom below. Yes, she is continuing to podcast from her daughters’ water closet. Perhaps next week she will have found a better place to record. Meantime, hear about Eydie’s aspiration to work at Dollywood as well as a most excellent cookbook hack. You don’t want to miss this shortie but sweetie of an episode!
