Slip It In

Questions or Comments: Slip It In Here!

The Slippers have spoken, and Megan is setting the record straight. After a Céline Dion fan challenges her comments about René Angélil, she revisits what she said and gives credit where it's due. Then Matty and JJ revisit their Detroit Free Press Half Marathon experience, where one wanted selfies along the way and the other just wanted to cross the finish line. That leads to Denver's outrageous Taco Bell 50K, a 31-mile ultramarathon requiring runners to stop at 10 Taco Bells, eat along the way and somehow survive the consequences.

Are advent calendars a vibe or boomer? With brands offering everything from chocolates and beauty products to dog treats and $350 jewelry calendars, the countdown to Christmas has become serious business. The conversation also turns to Trader Joe's latest beauty find, Michelin-starred chefs who love Taco Bell and a Real Housewives star whose wedding menu couldn't quite deliver her favorite fast food.

Brandi Glanville's ongoing facial health concerns and Kyle Richards' public $500 GoFundMe donation spark a bigger question: Should someone's generosity be judged by how much they can afford to give? Then Slip It Ins and Pull It Outs bring Alanis Morissette's Q&Q philosophy, Matty's experience with Raynaud's phenomenon, an unexpected gym compliment, the debate over wearing makeup to work out and Megan's missed opportunity to cash in on Denny's limited-edition Sticky Kicks.

Questions or Comments: Slip It In Here!

Would you bring Dunkin’ into a job interview? Matty, Megan and JJ get into the debate over whether walking into an interview with a coffee feels confident and casual or just a little too comfortable. As people who regularly interview candidates themselves, they compare where they’d draw the line and why the person sitting across the table may be the only opinion that really matters.
 
Then Matty tells the story of ordering a smash burger at The Dirty Shame, cutting it in half and getting called a “wuss” by the waitress in front of his family. Was she out of line, or is a big, messy burger meant to be picked up with both hands and eaten exactly as it comes? Megan and JJ weigh in, and the Slippers are officially being asked to settle the debate.
 
Megan is also back from Portugal with what she calls one of her best purchases of the year: Meta glasses. She breaks down how she used them for directions, photos, video, audio and identifying what she was looking at while traveling. Plus, Slip-Ups make their debut with corrections on garbage disposals and the OREO Twist, Lick, Vote lineup before Slip It Ins and Pull It Outs bring daily messages from family, crying on social media, concerts, The Moth, another Matty car accident, Howard Stern, Jeff Lewis and a marble-floor mystery.

Questions or Comments: Slip It In Here!

Are you the type of person who snoops in someone’s medicine cabinet, eats a few grapes before checking out at the grocery store or refuses to make two trips from the car with your bags? Matty, Megan and JJ start comparing the oddly specific habits that reveal exactly what type of person they are, from parking between the lines and checking restaurant menus ahead of time to sleeping with one foot outside the covers.  

Then things get more personal. Matty looks back at the era of greeting gay friends with a kiss on the lips, JJ owns his concert woo-hooing and Megan gets into her shower routine, including the surprisingly divisive question of whether you actually wash your legs. There’s also chronic lateness, Googling someone before a first date, brushing your teeth in the shower and plenty more “Are You That Type of Person?” behavior to compare.  

Kiehl’s Facial Fuel gets the product spotlight, along with a Nordstrom Rack pricing debate that turns into a bigger conversation about being that type of customer. Then Slip It Ins and Pull It Outs bring G.H. Bass customer service, the rising cost of dry cleaning, gloves for cleaning and food prep, all the hugging on Big Brother, freezing stinky food until trash day and the return of Matty’s heart-finger grievance.  

In this episode:

• Medicine cabinet snooping
• Grocery-store grape grazing
• Getting every grocery bag inside in one trip
• Checking restaurant menus before you arrive
• Sleeping with one foot outside the covers
• Keeping socks after your toe breaks through
• Googling someone before a first date
• Kissing friends on the lips
• Being chronically late

Questions or Comments: Slip It In Here!

Celine Dion is back in the spotlight, and Matty, Megan and JJ are fully invested. They get into her return to performing, the viral moments with fans outside her Paris hotel, her experience with stiff-person syndrome and why seeing more of Celine’s personality has changed the way they look at her. Plus, apparently dresses over jeans are trying to make a comeback too.

Then things move from emotional to completely unhinged. An American Airlines passenger ends up restrained with duct tape and zip ties after his flight is diverted to Baltimore, prompting an important question: who are you clocking as your potential backup the second you get on a plane? And in one of the stranger stories to resurface online, Beyhan Mutlu goes missing in Turkey, joins the search party looking for him and eventually realizes he is the person everyone has been trying to find.

The crew also finally gets their hands on Chicken & Waffles OREOs and compares them with Apple Pie à la Mode and Deep Fried. Then Slip It Ins and Pull It Outs bring intentional crying days, relentless spam texts, an unexpectedly great Target experience, Jeep duck lights, noisy trampolines and Anne Lamott’s reminder that life works because not everyone in your tribe is nuts on the same day.

DollyGate gets its closing statement when Melissa responds directly to Matty, Megan, JJ and the Slippers, complete with an apology, a defense of her childhood memory and a very clear ranking of which host showed her the most support. With Tammy Wynette officially replacing Dolly Parton in the memory bank, the case is declared closed.

Then it’s Detroit’s turn. Matty, Megan and JJ recap spending nearly nine hours at Cosm Detroit watching the US Open, from the 87-foot immersive dome and celebrity-suite surveillance to seat hopping, new staff friends and Megan’s very real disappointment over the missing Honey Deuce. What started as one tennis match quickly became a glimpse at a completely different way to watch live sports.

Fall trend talk brings men’s workwear, pink, neon and tote bags to the brunch table, followed by Snickers Banana Nut Bread, monster OREOs and Matty’s OWYN protein shake recommendation, which works considerably better when the cap is still on before shaking vigorously. Slip It Ins and Pull It Outs cover sporty gays, JJ correcting his own “Bass Persuades” pronunciation, Megan’s wait for the foldable iPhone, the 9/11 Memorial’s white birthday roses and Matty correcting his tropical-storm correction.

DollyGate is officially open for business. After Melissa casually revealed last episode that she met Dolly Parton backstage at the Lowell Showboat as a child, Matty did what any reasonable friend would do: checked with his dad, his sister and the local newspaper archives. The receipts point somewhere very different, with Tammy Wynette emerging as the likely woman behind Melissa’s decades-long Dolly memory.

From there, the brunch table moves into the Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip 20th anniversary, the very subjective battle for Song of the Summer, Miley’s new one-name era and the Bravo-meets-MTV relationship nobody had on their bingo card: Phaedra Parks and her “Castle Daddy,” CT Tamburello. There’s also a surprisingly serious discussion about whether “my fella” is an acceptable grown-up alternative to boyfriend.

Megan brings a considerably cheaper alternative to the Lululemon habit with CRZ Yoga, then Slip It Ins and Pull It Outs deliver a tennis ball that grunts when you hit it, people who waste everyone’s green light while staring at their phones, FX’s Adults, inherited road rage and some concern for Lionel Richie after his recent hospitalization.

In this episode:

• DollyGate and the Lowell Showboat mystery
• A correction to the tropical-storm-name conversation
• The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Roaring 20th
• Spotify, TikTok and the very debatable Song of the Summer
• Miley and “Bass Persuades”
• Phaedra Parks and CT Tamburello’s “Castle Daddy” crossover
• Andy Cohen and the case for calling someone “my fella”
• CRZ Yoga and the hunt for affordable athletic wear
• The viral tennis ball that grunts when you hit it
• Green-light phone offenders, road rage and becoming your father
• FX’s Adults
• Lionel Richie

Melissa returns for her fifth appearance as Matty, Megan and JJ take time to remember Dolly Parton, sharing the personal connections and unexpected moments that made her feel larger than music. Megan brings Eminem’s story about the handwritten note Dolly sent after their 2022 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction, Matty and JJ revisit hearing Brandi Carlile and I’m With Her perform “Coat of Many Colors” just days before Dolly’s passing, and Melissa reveals that she actually met Dolly as a child at the Lowell Showboat.

The remembrance moves through Dollywood, the Imagination Library and “My Place in History,” the unreleased song sealed away until 2046, before Matty steers the table into tropical cyclone names, retired names and the strange places their own names have appeared in storm history.

Then Melissa takes over with a story from Megan’s remote cabin near the Au Sable River. A monster truck arrives after dark with a GPS pin, an angry passenger and a supposed delivery to a campground across the river. The order turns out to be a tiny bundle of firewood, cash changes hands in the dark, Melissa starts sneaking through the woods with her phone camera, and six pieces of wood become enough evidence for the group to debate whether the delivery was really as innocent as it looked.

In this episode:

•  Melissa returns for appearance number five 
•  Remembering Dolly Parton and the legacy she left behind 
•  Eminem’s handwritten-letter connection to Dolly 
•  Brandi Carlile, I’m With Her and “Coat of Many Colors”

•  Jason Derulo name-drops, Baby Kitten Fishing and this week’s Slip It Ins and Pull It Outs

Slipper-turned-guest Nick joins Matty, Megan and JJ at the table, first settling some unfinished business with his top fries and nuts before helping with a blind ketchup taste test featuring Heinz, Trader Joe’s and zero-sugar contenders. Then the bandana comes off and Nick’s seriously luscious long hair sends the conversation in a very different direction.

The group gets into Nick’s hair routine, the return of bobs, lobs, bixies, shullets and skullets before hair gets weird fast. There’s Rapunzel Syndrome, the rare condition involving swallowed hair forming a mass in the stomach that can extend into the small intestine, plus hair fetishes, hair phobias and a particularly memorable discussion of hair jacking.

The episode also includes Heinz’s new Love Lid, new food drops from Taco Bell, Oreo and Domino’s, and this week’s Slip It Ins and Pull It Outs. Nick brings Troye Sivan’s “She’s the Best” and the use of AI in music, JJ scores a Spanish soccer jersey on Depop and delivers a Creature Feature involving an octopus attached to a fisherman’s face, while Matty celebrates ponytails before raising questions about current blood-donation eligibility rules.

Sometimes the unexpected turn is the whole story. Matty’s first trip to The Moth in Detroit starts with a StorySLAM built around serendipity and leaves him thinking differently about storytelling, while JJ returns from his first trip to Michigan’s Upper Peninsula genuinely blown away by Pictured Rocks, kayaking on Lake Superior and just how far Michigan can feel from home.

The Michigan appreciation continues with Matty walking the new Gordie Howe International Bridge before Baby Kitten Fishing makes its return, this time with paddles. Matty throws out everyday half-truths and Megan and JJ have to decide whether each one qualifies as Baby Kitten, full Kitten or something else entirely, including the gossiping mom who “doesn’t gossip,” the vegetarian who eats bacon, “I’m basically ready,” someone else’s boat and some very questionable dating-profile math.

Matty also brings YSL MYSLF Eau de Parfum to the table before this week’s Slip It Ins and Pull It Outs cover Colleen Hoover’s Verity, excessive DoorDash notifications, a J.Crew pricing win, someone paying with a bag of change at Trader Joe’s, the Woodward Dream Cruise and the surprisingly divisive phrase “picky choosy.”

In this episode:

• JJ’s first trip to Michigan’s Upper Peninsula and Pictured Rocks

Questions or Comments: Slip It In Here!

Airport divorce sounds dramatic, but Matty, Megan and JJ discover it may actually be one of the healthier ways for couples to travel. The idea is simple: get through airport security together, go your separate ways to do whatever makes you happy, then reunite before boarding. That leads to separate flights, vacation independence, airport flirting and whether a little time apart can make traveling together much better.

Then modern dating apparently needs its own glossary. The trio gets into kitten fishing, when someone presents a slightly enhanced version of themselves online, before creating an even softer category: baby kitten fishing. From there come orbiting, monkey barring, wildflowering and the increasingly complicated ways people avoid, delay or redefine commitment.

JJ also brings in the FitBeast adjustable hand gripper before this week’s Slip It Ins and Pull It Outs cover the surprisingly satisfying experience of a solo date, the nightmare of remembering your sheets are still in the dryer at bedtime, Uber versus Lyft, favorite words and the mystery of an abandoned wig on a Detroit street.

In this episode:

• Airport divorce and why separating after security might actually be healthy
• Airport flirting, separate flights and vacation independence
• Kitten fishing versus the newly created baby kitten fishing
• Dating profiles that look very different by photo five
• Orbiting after dates, ghosting and the people who never quite disappear
• Monkey barring from one relationship into the next
• Wildflowering, DTR and how long you can really “follow the vibe”
• JJ’s FitBeast adjustable hand gripper
• Solo dates, solo travel and espresso martinis with fries
• Uber versus Lyft, forgotten bedsheets and an abandoned wig
