Add to Cart with Kulap Vilaysack & SuChin Pak

He’s back and he’s got a sleigh full of gift ideas for everyone on your list! No one can get the aunties in the spirit quite like Santa Paul Scheer and he delivers again this year with a wide assortment of practical, pop-culture infused presents. Sure, there’s plenty of gadgets and nerdy stuff in there, but there’s also gifts for the people who have you stumped. Santa Paul discusses the patience and presentation needed to pull off the gift of a streaming subscription and why he may never need to buy another birthday card. This holly, jolly highlight of the holiday season proves, yet again, why Paul Scheer himself is the gift that keeps on giving.

Happy Holidays Carters! We're gifting you Friday extrasodes this holiday season. Today, we want to introduce you to another Lemonada Media show the Aunties are loving. You know Ku and Su are living their midlife exactly how they want it. But that comes with a lot of changes (like...cold flashes?!) My So-Called Midlife is all about this era, and hosted by Reshma Saujani, CEO of Girls Who Code. Even as a mom with a shining CV to boot, Reshma is wondering "...Is this it?" So she's calling in reinforcements to figure it out. First up to bat is Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who is about to officially graduate from midlife. At 63, she can confidently say that the last thirty years were… great, actually! Is it because she won multiple Emmys? Or maybe because she called out age biases in Hollywood by starring in Amy Schumer’s Last F*ckable Day? Well, along with these milestones, Julia suffered a ton of loss and hardship in her 50s. So why does she say it's her best decade? It’s all about the mindset. Plus, why Julia has 15,000 unread emails in her inbox -- and doesn't care.

Find Julia Louis-Dreyfus on Instagram @officialjld and listen to her podcast, Wiser Than Me with Julia Louis-Dreyfus

Let us know how you’re doing in midlife! You can submit your story to be included in this show at speakpipe.com/midlife

Hey Carters, we hope you're taking care during this stressful election week. We thought we'd revisit one of our favorite episodes in the meantime. We hope it brings you joy and a chiller dill.

Rob Huebel has some open carts he needs the aunties help to close. He tells Ku and Su why he spent almost $200 on a jump rope. But he’s torn on how much is too much to spend on his (and his wife’s) underwear. Plus, the three compare notes on men’s vs. women’s fashion marketing, and redesign some boxers for maximum dill cooling.

Youngmi Mayer is back on the pod, this time with her new memoir “I’m Laughing Because I’m Crying.” Carters, this book will alter your brain chemistry. At least, it did for the Aunties. They dive into shame, Korean and Korean-American identity, and what happens when you become the crazy lady on the subway. Plus, Youngmi talks about the one new pair of shoes she’s bought in three years, and gives us a crash course on cushion foundation.

It’s a blessed day when an episode makes it out of the groupchat. Besties of the pod Casey Wilson and Danielle Schneider of Bitch Sesh join the Aunties to catch up. First, SuChin regales them with tales of laser treatments in South Korea, which means they’ll be adding to cart some plane tickets soon. Then, Danielle shares an inspiring book and Casey is swayed by a 24-year-old beauty influencer. We’re all about the yin and yang here.

Part two of Auntie fall travels is all about Su’s adults-only trip to Asia. First is Japan, where Su experiences a semi-normal adult vacation out in the sunlight. Then it’s lasers, botox and hair for real “new face, who dis” energy. Did you know you can get botox duty free? She’s gathered some gems for your listening pleasure – but if you want the real scoop, you’ll have to slide into the DMs.

Carters, we have a special Friday treat with you. SuChin sits down with Tracy Moore, co-host of the new podcast The Body Collective, presented by Lemonada Media and WeightWatchers. But listen, this is not your grandma’s WeightWatchers. The Body Collective is changing the narrative about weight, turning shame into power. Tracy talks to SuChin about having her body publicly scrutinized as a longtime broadcast journalist. After going through cycles of gaining and losing weight, along with having kids, Tracy began waking up to the rampant fatphobia affecting us all. She shares her journey of learning to love her body just as it is, and invites us into The Body Collective.

Our jet-setting Aunties have returned home! Their overflowing carts mean we had to break this up into a two-parter. Ku tells Su about taking the fam to the Disney resort in Hawaii. Buckle in, because it’s a ride, featuring attractions such as Ku’s IV drip, Hozier’s hit song, and a deep tissue massage. After almost a week of lazy rivers and Moana pictures, Ku realizes paradise looks a little different with a baby.
