Bitter Coffey

In an unplanned focus on All Things Pumpkin Spice, this episode is the result of Darek and Kelly's return to their tradition of a pre-show pizza. Darek offers validation to Kelly's accidental crime spree, and Tim provides insight and truth on aggressively-decorated houses for Halloween.

Kelly lost her show topic notebook, so she relies on Darek and Tim Chang to carry the show. A brief discussion on lip-syncing turns into Kelly revisiting why she dislikes Mariah Carey, and Darek debuts his 1940s radio announcer voice, unaware that his daughter is playing with a hammer in the backyard.

Kelly and Darek introduce the best new segment on the show, The Chang Report. Darek offers an update on the home ownership front, while Kelly shares she is free of both fleas and ticks. And at long last, technology finally allows your hosts to share their vocal acumen with a stranger named Astrid.

Michele Palardy of the Palardy Foundation briefly joins the show and offers a glimpse of what it's like to live with Kelly. Both Darek and Kelly learn new farmer terms as a result. Darek carries the show due to Kelly's restrictive eating, discussing both house hunting and house cake, one of which might smell like cat urine.

Bitter Coffey alum Darek Fanton sits in the second chair for a rapid-fire episode that covers a lot of ground. Kelly jumps from topic to topic and Darek tries to reel her in. He is not successful.

In the Season 4 premiere episode, Margo and Kelly showcase their Dad Joke skills, and Kelly takes a stand against telemarketers.  They debate if Peleton is a person or a bike, and celebrate the perfection that is Harry Styles. Kelly's neighbor uses a phrase that feels incorrect and Margo confirms because of her Secretly British status. 

In an episode dedicated to the genius of Monica Lewinsky, Kelly and Margo celebrate Pride Weekend. They discuss clothing choices of cereal mascots, while Margo gets her years and months mixed up, and Kelly once again forgot she was allergic to red onions. Shout out to Daily Would Radio and Carl Nassib! 

Margo and Kelly engage in an impromptu 90210 trivia battle, which is arguably the foundation of their friendship.  Kelly keeps trying to discuss the Friends reunion, but veers off course and at several points throughout the show, she loses the ability to speak and breathe properly.  It's an evening awash with cheese salads and questionable amounts Diet Pepsi. 

Kelly and Margo make it Podcast Official, announcing that Margo is now the permanent co-host of the show.  Kelly learns about pregnancy options with help from the spirit realm, and Margo shares some of the basic rules of Foot Season.  Kelly recently cut her lip open on her iPad and in classic Margo style, she navigates it without judgement. 

Margo and Kelly are so happy to return to the studio for an in-person show, smoothies in hand, and absolutely no agenda at all.  Huge thanks to every single one of our listeners for rolling with our unpredictable recording schedule during the pandemic via Zoom. We're back!
