The STAY F. HOMEKINS podcast has once again recorded a bonus episode in our Bravo’s Southern Charm recap/reaction series!

Well, we needed this tonight, y’all! Janie & Paul recorded conversation and feelings about the latest reality show episode of this season of “damp trash,”where they conclude the entire series is Whitney’s La Côte Basque 2025!

*Fund drive for L.A. fire recovery*

Hiiiii!!

We are still safe!

As promised, we recorded the newest SOUTHERN CHARM reality show recap/reaction bonus episode under the STAY F. HOMEKINS podcast umbrella of content from our Los Angeles home as we await the fate of Mother Nature with these winds and fires that are currently destroying large swaths of our beloved city.

It is STRESSFUL and we remain fortunate, so far, to still be in our residence. This was a welcome distraction! Thank you for subscribing and listening to our nonsense that gets us through these fraught moments.

Hello, it is the January 2025 episode of STAY F. HOMEKINS. It is our sixth season’s inaugural episode.

We are coming at you from Los Angeles and this has been a surreal and devastating week for our city and the people because of the Santa Ana windstorms and the massive wildfires causing so much destruction and loss.

So much grief and so much disregulation and shock are plaguing the wonderful people of our beloved city.

We decided to record as a respite from the heaviness of the week, we are not as silly as we normally are, but we are happy to be in communion with you. Thank you for listening and being such nice and thoughtful members of our Weekend Water community!

Stay safe and, as you know, the conversation is below in the comments! Chime in and be well. Also, we will post our Southern Charm/Damp Trash recap tomorrow (one day late). We need the distraction, so please tune in to our bonus content by subscribing to this substack and forgive our lateness! We are looking forward to that episode!

May resilience, compassion and support find us all,

Janie & Paul

Los Angeles, January 2025

It is the SECOND bonus episode of the STAY F. HOMEKINS bonus run of reacting to the tenth season (aka the Thyroid season!) of the reality show Southern Charm! We are NOW behind the paywall with all you STAY F. HOMEKINS podcast SUPERFANS! And it is time to get down to some damp trash BIZNESS with PFT & JHT.

Look, we thought doing these bonus podcast episodes could make consuming this show more enjoyable for us as we try to tune out some of the INTENSITY of living in America as the old gal crumbles. And, it surely does. It will be even better if we invite you to ALSO comment below on how you are feeling about it all and you accept our invitation to get chatty.

Well, we toldja!

It’s Janie & PFT, here. Your stalwart co-hosts of the STAY F. HOMEKINS pod-verse. We are offering a surprise little spate of BONUS episodes where we metabolize the tenth season (this one WILL EVENTUALLY go to 11!) of the Bravo show SOUTHERN CHARM (appears on Bravo on Thursday nights then re-aired on Peacock on Friday nights!)

We are a little late to the FIRST episode since we decided to offer this bonus run as a lifeline to trying to CONSUME LESS DOOM so here is our FREE first episode to entice you and as a little olive branch for a late premiere drop!

Sample it, and if you want to go on this run with us to have a little light fare from thinking about all of the EVER PRESENT PAIN and SUFFERING, please subscribe!

Get into DAMP TRASH with us. Joke’s on us, because we are what we watch.

Enjoy and get up into our comments!! Thanks for hangin’ with us!

Huggles & snuggles,

Janie & PFT

Hello, listener. This is the newest episode of the STAY F. HOMEKINS podcast, free to all subscribers.

Thank you for being with us and being a part of our Weekend Water community. We appreciate you. In this episode, Paul whispers he is tired, Janie spoils THE SUBSTANCE (from about minute 50 for a little over 20 minutes), and, together, the couple try to make sense of this strange moment in America’s journey.

Should we all double down on comfort seeking? This is part of our discussion on coping strategies and mental health bolstering. No matter what, we are super unhinged in this one, because we’re in unchartered emotional territory.

Stay sane, y’all. That is our strategy (after getting a little crazy on the pod, of course.)

Be kind,

Janie & PFT

Thank you for watching Halloween style movies with us, The Homekins, in October the Year of Our Lord 2024! We’re having such a hoot watching and reacting to the scary horror boo scream movies with all a y’all!

It’s the HOMEKINS October watch-along-a-palooza! Treat yourself to a PAID sub to unlock this and ALL vintage …

Sci-Fi scary awaits…

This October watch-along was quite the fun one! You can imagine how scary an all-male cast is IN ADDITION to slimy looking creatures!

👽👽👽👽👽👽👽👽👽👽👽👽👽👽👽👽👽👽

Paul had seen and loved this one, but this is my first go-round with this film. Sync up the audio track of us watching John Carpenter’s…

It’s the October FREE episode of the STAY F. HOMEKINS podcast! Thank you for listening and hope you are enjoying our humble content offerings, in a world of a lot of pods and stacks!

In this episode, the talk turns to democracy and self esteem. And, no, the two aren’t related, OR ARE THEY? Paul gets passionate about our platypus, Janie gets enraged about traitors (not the show) and together, the duo work out their anxiety in their most meandering dinner conversation YET!

Sound off in the comment section below. It’s been a challenging time to dial into the mental health channels, but I know we all can do it with focus and care.

GO VOTE!! FOR KAMALA!!!

Hugs,

Janie & (PFT!)

This month we are releasing a new scary movie watch-along every Thursday for paid subscribers!
