Alright, Coop Chicks—y’all asked, and we’re answering! It’s another Letters to The Coop, where Kit and Harper dish out advice, real talk, and maybe a little tough love.

Today, we are tackling…
Jealousy in relationships—Is it a gut feeling or a one-way ticket to Bye-Bye Town?
Sisters & money—How do you say no without ruining family brunch?
Imposter syndrome—Do we believe in it?
Competitive mindset—How swinging for the fences (literally) shaped Kit’s entire life.

And in true Coop fashion, we go off the rails into… childhood hustle stories, the art of not overthinking, and the breaking news that Bug is coming to The Coop! That’s right, Kit’s wise (and hilarious) mama is making her podcast debut soon, so send in your questions! What would Bug Do?!

Pour that coffee (or something stronger) and let’s get into it.

Go grab your vodka cocktail (or your gummy) and tune in for today's conversation in The Coop, which is fearless, funny, and packed with wonderous truth bombs. The one-and-only Chelsea Handler brings us her signature mix of sharp humor and unapologetic truth-telling. With her upcoming book, I’ll Have What She’s Having, she dives into what therapy taught her, why she’s strutting into her 50s with confidence, and how she’s done proving herself to anyone—and we get into all of it.

From her obsession with giving advice to the fine art of curating the perfect girl gang (spoiler: Mallorca invites are earned, not given), Chelsea doesn’t just bring the laughs—she brings the wisdom. She gets real about letting go, embracing vulnerability, and living life entirely on her own terms. 

She also shares the one thing she wishes men understood about strong women, why she’s over traditional relationships, every pharmaceutical pill she brings on tour, and how she’s prioritizing joy in every aspect of her life.

And because The Coop always leaves you with something to chew on, we’ll close it out with a Chelsea-ism to live by:

“I don’t have to prove myself to anyone. Either get on board or get out of the way.”

And the life mantra we all need:

“Find your happy. Chase it down. Hold onto it for dear life.”

In today’s fearless episode of The Coop, we welcome the one and only Margaret Cho—comedian, actor, musician, activist, and absolute legend. From crushing stand-up stages at 14 years old, to breaking racial barriers with All-American Girl, to selling out Carnegie Hall, and even playing Kim Jong-il on 30 Rock—Margaret has done it all, and then some.

She’s Live and Livid on stage these days, and we get into exactly what’s fueling her fire—from women’s rights to political absurdity to finding joy in the madness. She opens up about sobriety, body image, love, loss, and why she’s choosing “situationships” over marriage. And yes, we dig into her famous 12 hours up, 12 hours down sleep practice, how she writes a joke every single day before getting out of bed, and why her mother has an actual prayer group dedicated to finding her a husband (bless her heart).

Margaret doesn’t just push boundaries—she obliterates them. Whether she’s talking about being one of the few women in stand-up in the ‘90s, the sheer injustice of Hollywood’s double standards, or why love isn’t just for the young and beautiful (the theme behind her new song Lucky Gift), this conversation is as bold as it is soulful—with just the right amount of bite.

And because The Coop always leaves you with something to chew on, we’ll close it out with a Margaret-ism to live by:

“You reap what you sow. So I’m sowing joy.”

Or just the life mantra we all need:

“Do it. It doesn’t have to be good. Just do it.”

So y’all, tune in and get ready for a conversation that is sharp-witted, unfiltered, and deeply, beautifully human.

In this special episode, Kit (Host) and Harper (Producer) reflect on the funniest and most memorable moments from The Coop’s incredible 2024 lineup. From Jenny McCarthy’s outrageous tale of her $1,500 mall boob job (yes, she was awake!) to Katie Couric’s hilarious exchange with Ryan Reynolds about colonoscopies.

Cindy Crawford brought both humor and heart, sharing candid reflections on empty nesting and the famous story of her husband Randy, George Clooney, and a million-dollar duffle bag. And ever-popular fan-favorite bedside drawer question, with answers ranging from Jenny’s “gummies and gadgets” to Elizabeth Hurley’s self-proclaimed junk drawer of random treasures?

Each story is a testament to the humor, heart, and honesty that have defined The Coop this year. And, in true Coop fashion, Kit and Harper deliver this wrap-up like two girlfriends swapping stories, inviting listeners into the laughter, warmth, and occasional absurdity that make their show so special.

Pour yourself a big ol’ glass of wine, settle in, and join us for one last laugh-filled stroll through 2024!

We’ve got a corker of an episode for you today. The incomparable Elizabeth Hurley is joining us—actress, model, entrepreneur, producer, and all-around icon. From her unforgettable turn in Austin Powers to her impact on Breast Cancer research, Elizabeth has spent decades captivating us all with her charm, sharp wit, and unmistakable style.

In this episode, Elizabeth pulls back the curtain on her extraordinary journey in career, advocacy, and relationships.

We, of course, touch on the lighter side—the legendary Versace dress, her devotion to peanut butter, her idyllic life in the English countryside, and even what really turns her on.

Favorite Quote:
"Aging is challenging. But you can’t be angry about it—use great creams, eat well, do your best, and face it with grace."

Get ready for a fireside chat that is as insightful as entertaining. Elizabeth Hurley is proof that elegance, humor, and self-reflection never go out of style.

Get ready, because this week in The Coop, we’ve got the one-and-only—Uzo Aduba. You know her as the unforgettable Suzanne "Crazy Eyes" Warren from Orange is the New Black, but Uzo’s story is so much bigger than her iconic characters. Her new book, The Road is Good, dives into a life filled with resilience, joy, and the unstoppable strength and spunk she inherited from her mother.

Growing up as a Nigerian-American in a Boston suburb, Uzo faced challenges fitting in but learned to embrace her identity (and gorgeous tooth gap), thanks to her mother's wisdom and love. Her mom’s lessons—like insisting people learn her name instead of changing it—taught Uzo about self-worth and pride. Uzo nearly walked away from acting, but on the very day she quit, she got the call for Orange is the New Black and life’s trajectory took a powerful, joyful turn.

Oh, and did we mention Uzo is a classically trained opera singer, former figure skater, AND a track star? Holy talent, people.

This episode is packed with joy, grit, and laughs as we explore staying true to your roots, and your Mama. So, trust the stage—let the universe do its thing—and join us in The Coop for this unforgettable and heartfelt conversation with Uzo Aduba.
