Products we talked about:

• The Talkboy

I was sick all week and decided to do a rerun. So many people requested a Dan episode (why!!!!), and I will NEVER TELL HIM!!!

-----

A warm welcome to Dan Nosowitz, food writer extraordinaire and Caroline’s husband. No one is more intimately familiar with the shopping habits of our host than Dan is, and he’s here to tell us how he really feels about the KitchenAid, the $5 rice cooker, and the bread maker. He also wants to convert you to Pyrex glass storage and teach you all how to make salad dressing so you never have to buy it in the bottle again. PS — special appearance from Kevin the cat!

TikTok Star Kate Steinberg is here to talk all things Y2K. Amassing over 800k followers on TikTok and an additional 300k on Instagram, Kate has made a name for herself by performing those moments from our teen years that we wish we could erase from our collective memory (think grabbing your fake Coach bag for a night out at Applebees with the girlies and going into Abercrombie and Fitch and asking for…an empty bag). 

She makes a case for Uggs, and tells a truly hilarious story about working at a tanning salon in 2011.

If you aren’t following Kate…uh…Y…2K?

Author and FOTP Jess Goodman returns to tell me what she's been influenced by (correctly), which influenced purchases did her dirty and which corner of the internet she just can't quit. I share mine too. Then she told me about her favorite wedding registry item — her Nespresso maker.

Her third book, The Counselors, is out on May 31!
