Let’s not say good-bye. Let’s say, until we meet again. 

Katie & Ronit are wrapping MMM for now, but don’t worry… between memoirs and screenplays and future world leaders to raise, you’ll see us again.

It’s a Mouthy, Messy, Mandatory Midterm post-game! Katie and Ronit wonder if all the foreplay leading up these midterms actually GOT US THERE? Plus! Historic firsts for women, POC, and queer candidates; defeats for Beto O’Rourke, Stacey Abrams and Andrew Gillum, and the importance of broadening your news sources. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Ronit and Katie discuss the power of history and the power of love in the aftermath of the synagogue shooting at Tree of Life in Pittsburgh. Thank you to the interfaith and community leaders who are uniting to support the Jewish community right now. It means a lot that you’re willing to stand up. Plus, moms are coming to save the world! Thoughtful parenting is a key weapon in the fight against the patriarchy, and on a bigger scale, what if we parented social and political problems instead of trying to win them? Moms are powerful AF, people! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Our trans and nonbinary friends #wontbeerased no matter what BS this White House tries to pull. Katie and Ronit debate the best way to be an ally with the help of one hella emotionally intelligent listener question about what role anger should play in social justice. Plus, the Mouthy crew’s date night was one for the books, as Katie and Ronit rehash a killer evening of feminist debate hosted by Jill Soloway and Hannah Gadsby!  Side note: Katie puts her money where her mouths is when she fucks up some pronouns, feels bad, and apologizes, but doesn’t actually explode.  Hosted on Acast.

Things that make you go UUUNNNNGGH, Problematic Television, and “Things that are totally normal for adults to discuss in public” are the categories in this week’s News Jeopardy edition of the Mouthy podcast! What was Elizabeth Warren thinking?Why are we busting out tiny violins for a Fox News anchor?Which Republican Senator busted out his best Scarlett O’Hara this week?andWhy does Hollywood keep telling stories about white people??? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Ronit & Katie introduce a new drinking game: take a shot every time we talk about the white supremacist patriarchy & have a friend standing by to take you to the hospital. Kavanaugh’s confirmation shines a light on the ugliest parts of American politics and power, including this true, ugly fact: White women have always been more likely to vote with the white supremacist patriarchy (drink!) than with and for other women. Why white women are responsible for other white women, why there’s no such thing as a “good” or “bad” white woman, why you absolutely should not be kneeling for the anthem to protest sexual violence, and a QUIZ! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Amanda Saab: Masterchef alum, co-founder of Dinner with Your Muslim Neighbor, writer at Amanda’s Plate, owner of Butter Bear bakery and all around amazing woman joins Katie and Ronit to talk comfort, food, and opening people’s minds. PLUS Amanda answers listener questions about what it’s like to wear hijab in 2018 America, and Katie reveals her top-secret celebrity chef crush… Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It’s hell week for trauma survivors and the people who love them. Ronit and Katie reconsider what “self-care” looks like (bubble baths don’t hurt, but flame-throwers aren’t bad either), and how we can take care of the people we love who are suffering.

Tip: DON’T express how shocked you are that this is our reality. THAT DOESN’T HELP.

Welcome to the Hit List: Katie & Ronit murder concepts like “Boys will be boys,” “Now let’s hear from the sexual predator,” and “Talking about this stuff is the real problem - it’s so divisive!” Time to put “boys will be boys” to bed.Jian Gomeshi, John Hockenberry, Woody Allen and--bonus--Sean Penn convinced major publications to publish their unchecked whining. It must be so hard to live without unchecked power over women!   And Katie and Ronit endorse donuts. And chips. And eating. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Respect is the word du jour, between Colin Kaepernick’s posture, Serena Williams’ catsuit, and things kids yell in the grocery store. When we say “respectful,” do we really mean obedient? Is the definition of respect being appropriated by bigots? Is it ever okay to tell someone, “Shut up and stay in line?” PLUS! A new quiz: “IS THAT DISRESPECTFUL” and Ronit has a very narrow-minded idea of what constitutes pizza (I’m Katie and I endorsed both this message and potatoes on pizza.)  Hosted on Acast.
