Doing A Good.

Ken is back from Ken’s European Adventure! Real life has resumed & the friends have returned, to first dish on the trip: the location lowdown, city rankings, new beverage alert!, historical importance & landmarks, general vibes and a highlight reel of Paris, Berlin & Copenhagen. They discuss stepping away from the phone & the psychic effects of being both “on” and “off line” before Ken comes in with some Hot Goss. The Hot Goss is emotional & juicy this week: Car braces for impact on the big reveal of...wait for it...a Golden Girls Reboot (no), the friends guess how many kids Alec Baldwin has (a lot), J-lo nabbing that Oscar buzz (and still slays in that dress), Bachelor In Paradise takeaways (you already know), and ABC let downs (“It should have been you, Mike” & “it isn’t about you, Peter”). The final journey this week is into an #almostfamous moment with Car, where she shares her recent audition failure. Plus: Pod recs! Embarrassing food mistakes! Jerry’s new toy! The T vs The Tea! Pet Nat! Bach Book Club! Car doesn’t have hobbies! And more!

SPECIAL GUEST EDITION: Jessica Dobson Pt. 2 by Doing A Good.

As exciting as the new Lion King, Ken & Car are back on the couch this week with a friend! Jessica Dobson is a magical musician (Deep Sea Diver), important & special friend, and all-around beautiful, wise, sharp, kind, funny and insightful human bean who has come to share the moments to be treasured forever. Ken & Jess tell the beginning of their Friendship Love Story which segues somehow seamlessly into Ken’s New Metal Moment & Actor-Turned-Musician Moments starring Jeremy Renner. In Beefy News, Jess shares the history of her musical journey, and the friends explore the ways we use social media personally & professionally, vulnerability in sharing & connection, and the balance of jumping through necessary hoops while staying true to your purpose. Finally, Jess & Ken recount their recent Zoo Concert Experience which is full of lols and take-aways. Plus: Rude movie snacks! Hot elite musical projects (Blip)! Actor-turned-musician moments starring Jeremy Renner! Jerry goes to the doctor! Cooking! Bug Bites! And more!

This week kicks off with an exploration into La Croix ranking & asks the burning question: why does anyone like mixed berry? Ken & Car go behind the scenes with insider info on audio books & dish on editing.  On this, the eve of Car’s (and Cary’s) anniversary, they do some Fancy Talk about sacred jewelry upkeep (Car’s engagement ring) and everyone Does A Little Learn. The friends also do a quick check in on Sleep Journeys: what it does, what it doesn’t, what it is right now and how some people nail it.  Ken recaps the finale of The Bachelor (since Car refuses to watch) and they explore what went wrong & what Jed could have done differently, which segues perfectly into this week’s Beefy News: the “only once” concept of marriage. Why do so many folks say they “only want to do this once” like it’s a unique sentiment? Can we expand our ideas of marriage & partnership? Will the social opinion on divorce continue to evolve? When to work & when to walk? What is “right” & what is “wrong”? With more questions than answers, this is a To Be Continued for sure.

Plus: Blue Raspberry facts! Jed is a no-no! Women are not property! Party Nappers! Fame matters! Tyler C & Gigi Hadid! Life is complicated! Generations!

It’s going down for real this week as Car’s dad is here for a visit (return of the Mac!) & Ken is living her “best frat boy life”. They start by exploring frosted tips (Ken), what age you used to want to be (not 20) before diving into the IRL experience of Splash N’ Chill aka Float Island (come for a ride!). They recount Ken’s recent night out Doing A Club, the quest for dancing and the not-ok-behavior of strangers (including a story of a person who should be 86’ed). Then the friends take it back to a Happy Place by discussing Car’s time with Pops—including acts of service & the hereditary hilarity of travel bags. Around 42:00 a fall project for all the friends is introduced: Bach Book Club, babay! Email to get in on the learning, the laughter, the togetherness. Plus: Being tired! Name that email! The fair! Egg McMuffers! Becoming your parents! Parents on the pod! Cyndi Lauper! New lingo!

Ken & Car are back on track this week, and coming in hot. The friends recap some Montana adventures, being the “chosen one” by children, the flow of family & finding time to be yourself. Car also shares the tightness of her recent film experience (cowboy movie!) and Ken gears up for her European Adventure. They chat on some Batch, but don’t go full Bach Chat, debate terminologies, and touch base on the Summer Beach Experience. Plus: Gross Words! Jerry can’t fit in small spaces! Nature majesty! Floating Homes! Improv! Pokémon!

Here comes the juice! In the conclusion of the First Timer’s Club: The Guest Experience, Wren, Ken & Car dig in to Beefy News. They discuss guiding principals, intuition & an internal compass while exploring the concept of feeling free in your life. Wren Does A Good by sharing her experience, thought and feelings on having a baby and that current journey with her wife. The friends explore motherhood, parenthood, same sex parenting, expectations, social constructs, confusion, fear and anger. The discussion this week is intimate & unedited. As such there is coming in-and-out of the room, thinking, fumbling and live discovery as the tape rolls. Let’s all be in the room together. Things wrap up with a round of quick fire questions for Wren, starting with Wild Horse or Wild Cat! Plus: Art vs business! Little Jerry plays with a ball! Theme songs! Targeted marketing! Feelings! Lols!
