Bitter Coffey

Mo Citro somehow finds the mental strength to return for another episode of Bitter Coffey! Following a delightful pretzel chicken dinner, our hosts discuss the lie that is instant cake mix and discover that celery water rids your body of more than just toxins. Kelly shares the greatest personal ad in history, discusses her distaste for incorrect pluralization, there's some delightful effects experimentation and there's conversation about more terrible job experiences. We mourn the loss of the Northern Vermont institution Pizza Putt and discuss the Aunt Becky college admissions controversy. We also want to hear about the everyday items that make you feel like a rich person.

Darek and Kelly are joined by Mo Citro for a wide ranging episode full of figurative and literal key changes.

Finally, we're treated to a harrowing tale of garden Buddha abduction.

On this week's episode we explore the special relationship that Kelly shares with the folks at Vermont Gas, talk about the current state of customer "service" and delve deep into Kelly and Darek's podcast libraries.

Finally, our hosts explore which of them is more Milli and which is more Vanilli and reflect on the glory that was Behind the Music and MTV Cribs.

On this episode of Bitter Coffey, we're firing right into things by talking about BJ's (you know, the wholesale store). Kelly and Darek read some iTunes reviews and give some shoutouts.

We finally get into the wonders of the Marvelous Mrs Maisel and Darek has a new podcast sign-off! In the "cold close", Kelly shares her early morning podcast listening routine and the delicate way she wakes Michele up to share it.

We're back, and we're full of gluten! On this episode of Bitter Coffey, Kelly and Darek address some of the feedback about their "desert island" bands, explore the fashion phenomenon that is Shooties, discuss methods for dismissing guests who have overstayed their welcome and tease an upcoming conversation about The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. There's also talk of bands who've evolved over time, courtesy of a topic discussed on the Fan Story podcast.

Bitter Coffey is back from its holiday hiatus and Kelly and Darek are firing into the new year hopped up on Hibiscus Cloudberry Polar seltzer.
