Am I Doing This Right?

TOPIC: 

This week we’re talking about the universally dreaded topic of… jury duty. We cover what to do if and when you get summoned — because you will! — how to postpone jury duty, jury duty standards, and how the jury duty process works. First, Natalie is embracing what she loves in the form of ET content, and Corinne is curious about why she’s dreaming about Chad Michael Murray. 

Then, we unveil the history around jury duty, including civic responsibility and what the jury duty process looks like. We also debunk jury duty standards and share the process from beginning to end, depending on the length of the trial! Plus, we have some interesting jury duty stories featuring OJ Simpson, Harvey Weinstein, and a Hollywood sex therapist murder trial!

TOPIC: 

We’re back… with more treats from Thailand! This week we’re hanging out and catching up. We start by swapping weekend stories, including a trip to The Magic Castle, which lands us on the topic of all things magic! First off, where’s it been and why don’t we know more people in the magic industry? We explore different types and categories of magic, and Corinne shares an exciting magic experience featuring David Blaine and Dave Brown. 

Then, Corinne and Natalie reminisce on OG TV shows like Next — which could have been an inspiration for dating apps — and the extreme amount of money each Extreme Makeover costs. This spirals into an exploration of TV categories from the 2000s and now, and of course, that includes a recap of the drama from this season of Love is Blind.
