Kate’s kids call her "cringe," and Doree dances up a Broadway storm. Then, all their podcast parasocial relationships merge when Becca Freeman, host of Bad On Paper and author of The Christmas Orphans Club, joins to talk about the healing power of an outdoor walk, the joy of putting everything you've got into creative projects, and allllll the romcom book recommendations your heart can handle. Plus: hair prods!

It's New Year's Eve in The OC and things take a turn for the chaos. Sandy and Kirsten go to a swingers party, Ryan worries about his relationship with Marrisa, and Kirsten has a sister that really shows up with a bang. Kate and Doree talk about the game of swinger chicken Sandy and Kirsten play with each other, how it was easier to be incommunicado when someone was abroad in the 90’s and 00’s, the insanity of a last minute New Year’s Eve reservation in Newport Beach, and the absurdity of how quickly a TV house party becomes a rager.

Kate’s got a new novel coming out in June (pre-order One Last Summer now!), and Doree’s donning her doctor hat to uncover another medical mystery. Then, Dear Prudence advice columnist Jenée Desmond-Harris joins the pod to answer listener questions and discuss the delicate nuance of giving advice, the joy of laying on the floor in front of a space heater, and a mind-blowingingly good (and cheap!) foundation.

Doree reminds Kate of a time, just 25 years ago, when the options for buying beauty products were basically limited to the drugstore or department stores. Then, the very French, very chic Sephora we know and love came to the States. Doree and Kate discuss the surprising consumer hesitation of standalone beauty stores in the US, the brand’s massive growth during the 2008 recession, and the origins of the famous backlit black-and-white shelves.

Kate is being targeted with “anti-aging” skincare ads and Doree discovers she actually does love a robot vacuum. Plus they answer questions from listeners about sharing your life on the internet, financial coaching, Gilmore Girls’ “free mug” energy, and how best to organize jewelry.

It’s Chrismukkah in The OC, and these teens are being naughty and, well, mostly just naughty. Seth makes mix CDs and tries to date both Anna and Summer at the same time, Marissa shoplifts and sneaks booze into her mom’s very important party, and Ryan struggles to find that holiday spirit. Plus: mall talk, metaphors, forgotten storylines (where is Luke?), sexy Wonder Woman cosplay, and a new bad boy! 

Merry Chrismukkah from Newport Beach!

Kate and Doree consider the times they may (or may not?) have been scammed before chatting with the Scam Goddess herself, Laci Mosley. They go deep into how to tell the difference between wellness and a scam, who and what makes a good scammer, the importance of building community, and how to best avoid being duped.
