Carol booked a Catholic pilgrimage with a stranger named Mountain she found on the internet. No itinerary, no idea where she was staying, and people were DMing Katy asking if she was okay. She's more than okay — she's thriving in Fatima, Portugal and calling in to tell us everything.

Carol is days away from her pilgrimage and the packing situation is not going well. Katy answers the question everyone keeps asking about what she actually eats in a day and reminisces on some of the funniest moments with her mom during her dance audition days.

Katy reflects on getting older, Carol is days away from her pilgrimage, and they have thoughts on Coachella, Taylor Swift and Pope Leo that they are not keeping to themselves.

It's Katy's birthday week, Carol is still in New York and they have a lot to get into. Carol picked up Strangers, the memoir by Belle Burden, a story of marriage, betrayal, trust funds, prenups and what happens when women don't protect themselves financially. They also get into love languages and how Katy and Carol give and receive love completely differently, the mental load of motherhood, Cici's first real Easter egg hunt, and the importance of showing up for people months after something hard happens not just right away.

This week Katy and Carol are finally together in New York City for Easter week and they have a lot to catch up on. Katy recaps her girls trip: sabering a champagne bottle at the St. Regis while the entire staff doubted her, a psychic reading in DUMBO that said she'll have 3 homes and her daughter is her reincarnation, and cocktails at a Paris-inspired bar in Brooklyn. Carol covers her flight drama from Milwaukee: a fire alarm in the Delta Club, dad getting bumped to first class and beelined it without her, and worrying about the pilot the whole way. They also get into their best hosting tips, why you should always speak up when you don't like a service, Katy's pre-birthday glow up, the matcha vs coffee debate, and what half and half actually is. Carol closes with a beautiful reflection on the four silences: dignity, patience, acceptance and surrendering control, and a message for anyone celebrating Easter or Passover this week.

We're back — and we have a lot to catch up on. Katy got stranded in Minneapolis mid-blizzard, solo parenting Cici in a hotel with no clean clothes while Matt escaped on the last flight out. Carol nearly didn't make it home either. It was a lot. We finally get into it all plus our current spring obsessions — from a $6 Costco wine that genuinely surprised us, to the skincare finds we can't stop talking about, to a fragrance that smells like fresh flowers on a kitchen counter. Plus the Jesse Buckley Oscars quote that made us both cry, Carol getting recognized in the Minneapolis airport, and an honest conversation about solo parenting and what it really takes.

In this episode of Honest To Pete, Katy and Carol make their Oscar predictions, react to Timothée Chalamet’s claim that opera and ballet are “dying arts,” and share hilarious takes on movies, fashion, and awkward social moments. From insider insights on classical arts to mother-daughter tangents about awards season, shopping, and generational debates, it’s a funny, opinionated, and nostalgic dive into culture, celebrity gossip, and the debates only moms can spark.

Hair color phases, Botox conversations, farm dads, and nostalgia — this episode of Honest To Pete goes everywhere. Katy and Carol dive into the strange reality of getting older, from the constant debate of brunette vs blonde to the hilarious way conversations change as you age. One minute it’s skincare and Botox, the next it’s stories about dads on farms and childhood memories. It’s funny, nostalgic, and exactly the kind of mother-daughter conversation that reminds you how weird and wonderful life gets over time.

We spent the day talking about Hamnet, getting a little reflective, and of course… channeling our inner Carolyn Bessette. Lots of laughs, some nostalgia, and the kind of random mother-daughter chats that somehow end up being way deeper than expected.

Fat Tuesday chaos meets Olympic pressure and 90s Kennedy nostalgia. Carol and Katy talk Lent goals, a mysterious $30 bank mix-up, deer stealing birdseed, and a hair appointment that turned into an unexpected experiment.
