Hello Gentle Listeners,

After careful consideration we have decided that we'll be taking an indefinite leave of absence from the podcasting world. The details are in this episode but we have been truly honored to be in your listening ears for the last few years. We may come back in a completely different form or a slightly different version of ODK (or not at all). Only time will tell but in the meantime we wish you all the best and bid you adieu with one very large dry kiss. Thank you very much, MUAH!

Sincerely, 

Tamara and Corinne

It's the final countdown of the Dash & Lily series, aka the New Year's Eve (and last) episode. Dash and Lily decide they're differences may not make them a good match. Can they recapture the magic they started in the red notebook before the year is over? In this episode we: discuss our 2025 New Year's resolutions and the things we want to leave behind in 2024 (Tamara says fuc*ing EVERYTHING), discuss all the characters that are making Corinne's eye twitch (we're looking at you Langston), and contemplate the potential for this series to conclude with a tragic Romeo and Juliet type ending (fear not gentle listeners it has a happy one). This is the perfect series to close out our 2024 year before we take the month of January off. Sometimes words are not enough, so in addition to our eternal gratitude for you listening in, we are also leaving you with one HUGE dry kiss, for the New Year, Happy 2025! 

We are on episode 7 of the Dash & Lily series and it's quite possibly the most depressing of the lot. Dash and Lily finally have a face to face meeting but it's not the epic love story either imagined, and there's puking involved. In this episode: Corinne tells her own true version of a Christmas Carol (involving dead sister sightings), we describe the saddest Christmas animatronics we ever saw, and talk sh*t about parents behaving badly (not our own...well maybe Tamara's cause her dad went to Hawaii once without her). This entire episode is simultaneously deep and shallow and there's so many people on the naughty list but we hope you still join us for Dash & Lily.

This week we are covering episode 5 & 6 of the Dash & Lily series (maybe the meatiest episodes). This week Dash and Lily are being courted by other people from their past. Will they find their way back to each other and their red notebook? In this episode we discuss: a very merry tree top 'orgy' between Gonzo and an X-man, introduce everyone to our Chiiistmas tree named Chauncy, and put Dash's dad on the Smarmy McSmarmington naughty list. We are fighting over ornaments this holiday but are in total agreement that this episode is full of all the adornments you would need especially the adorn-able love story between Dash & Lily.

We are in the second chunk of Dash & Lily, this week we are covering episode 3 titled Hanukkah & episode 4 titled Cinderella. In Dash & Lily's ongoing quest to get to know each other through notebook entries, they each challenge each other with dares to get out of their respective comfort zones, with mixed results. In this episode we: revisit Mixers the hot new singles club located in our living room that has everything (including drink equality), wonder aloud if the bar called The Rhythm Room has anything to do with contraceptives, and contemplate if line cutting is the root of New Yorkers surly attitudes (because there is a ton in this series). This whole episode is Christmas magic with a few sprinkles of dark, brooding, observations which are a perfect combination just like Dash & Lily.

This week we are giving you 2 for the price of 1. We are covering the first 2 episodes of Dash & Lily (there are 8 in total). Lily, in hopes of finding a Christmas romance, puts an anonymous scavenger hunt in a red notebook and hides it in her favorite bookstore. Dash comes across it, and in spite of being Lily's polar opposite, is intrigued and decides to play along. In this episode we discuss: the appropriate time to say 'Merry Christmas' during the holidays, if French pianism is a French penis or a French piano, and why our next podcast undertaking will be called 'The Unwanted Roommate.' This episode is equal parts Christmas magic and melancholy perfection so we hope you float down Joni Mitchell's-River, with us, and Dash & Lily. 

What happens when you're life gets flip turned upside down? Well.... do we have a brief story for you and explanation for our 2 week break, we'll miss ya Gentle Listeners and are looking forward to sharing the first two episodes of Lily & Dash with you the first Tuesday in December. 

We are at the 6th episode of The White Lotus or as we like to call it 'The Final Countdoooown.' The episode's proper title is Departures and the sh*t is going to hit the fan before all the guests return home...well most of the guests, that is. In this episode we: give a wallpaper interpretation that Tamara will regret forever, put a child leash on Corinne so she doesn't follow a stranger into a windowless van in search of her plunge pool, and discuss dicking around (literally and figuratively). We have very different POVs about the conclusion of this series, but we will save our comment cards for the end of our stay at The White Lotus

We are on the next to the last episode of White Lotus. This one is called 'The Lotus Eaters'...or as Corinne would more aptly title it 'Regrets.' Everyone at the White Lotus is making bad decisions and we are here with our pocket popcorn to watch it all. In this episode we discuss: whether there's a market for romantic dinner funeral cruises (for a sexier way to send loved ones off), how to successfully deal with a 'whole jar of irritated' or a 'bowl full of f*ck off' (hint-it's angry crying, and we're both experts), and why pumpkin patches and dinosaurs always go hand in hand. This whole episode hurts like a pretty little cut but we have no regrets as we round the corner into this (next to the) last episode at the White Lotus resort.

We are on part 4 of The White Lotus which is titled 'Recentering' but would be better titled 'The Episode of Lies' because there's nothing centering about this resort. For example, Rachel's mother in law shows up uninvited to her honeymoon, Tanya gets a questionable suitor, we find out why Paula is gaslighting her 'friend' and Armond gets his face caught in someone's backside. Additionally, in this episode we discuss: the most effective weapon you could find in a resort spa, how dolphins stimulate their nether regions, and how our gentle listeners can play a drinking game by taking a shot everytime we say pointedly (cause it's a lot). We are more than halfway through our stay here at the White Lotus and the train is coming off the tracks. But we are here for the (choo-choo) wild ride.
