While Katie is caring for her brand new baby girl, Evie calls in a familiar Trader Bro, her boyfriend Brian, to help her sample some grilled proteins. But don’t skip this episode just yet, vegans! We’ve got a pleasantly surprising item in store for you too. While Evie and Brian fight off the meat sweats, they also dream of what it must be like on a cruise, suggest some turkey alternatives for Thanksgiving and get Brian one step closer to fulfilling his dream of living Eddie’s Million Dollar Cook-Off.

Warning: Do not give this much chocolate to the Hoes ever again. In this sugar-fueled giggle fest, Katie and Evie sample some new (and not-so-new) chocolate items from Trader Joe’s. They also cover a very niche bucket list item, ponder the existence of zebracorns and possibly offend all of Belgium and really anyone who has an accent. Sorry and you’re welcome. 

🛒 In the cart:

We don’t know what’s scarier this year, Hoes: the election, Halloween or how loosely some of these items fit into this theme? Whatever you choose, we’re getting in the spirit of the season with some of Trader Joe’s Halloween/general Fall-is treats. You also may be spooked by our most embarrassing costumes over the years, how Evie is considering distributing candy and Katie’s feline trash can.

Hoes, we’re getting salty this week. We’ve got some gripes about non-resealable chip bags, and we’re pairing them with some equally salty (and spicy) snacks. Plus, we want you to Share Your Stupid with us. Like Evie’s conclusion that Peruvia was a made-up country because of a Kim Possible episode, we want to hear those moments that make you face palm when you relive them. Send ‘em our way so we can all remember that everyone is a little stupid sometimes.

We’re spreading the love this week, Hoes. We also have a very important question for you: What kind of dodgeball player are you? While you ponder that, we’ll share some addicting jams and spreads with you and one that just didn’t do it for us, honey. And to further our promise of making this an educational podcast, we dissect the differences between jams and jellies and wonder if I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter exists anymore.

While we round out the pumpkin reviews this year, we need some help, Hoes. How do we cook the Spicy Pumpkin Curry Simmer Sauce? We’ll keep snacking on these pumpkin sweets, but please halp. Also, some announcements: Catch us getting written up in the Phoenix New Times (Not the New York Times...yet), Katie’s husband is basically a doctor now and Evie will never let go of charcuterie boards.

This is the pumpkin episode Evie has been waiting for. We’ve been patiently prioritizing other pumpkin items while these ones constantly called to us. The time has finally come and, Hoes, they did not disappoint. We also learn that physics don’t apply to pumpkin season, Queer Eye is our quarantine dopamine source and Trader Joe’s is trying to start something between the East and West Coasts. Plus, Katie updates us with her cookie progress. Spoiler: Practice and self-restraint may make perfect.

This was a week for carbs. And because it’s late September, you know they’re Pumpkin Spice carbs. Also, we need your help, Hoes. Katie is looking for pro baking tips, so if you’ve mastered the art of cookie-making, share the wealth. While you’re at it, let us know if “dense” is the new “thicc.” We think we can make it happen.

Are you ready, Hoes? ‘Tis the season for pumpkin spice, and we’re feeling festive AF. Even though it’s still triple digits here in AZ, we’ve got our cozy slippers on, and we’re pairing them with some brand new Trader Joe’s pumpkin picks. We’re also very concerned with Harry Potter’s hydration and physical activity regimen and considering a new podcast, Evie and Katie Complain About Shit. Who knows? Stranger things have happened in 2020...

We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again: This is an educational podcast, Hoes. And this week, we’re getting schooled by some great choices from our Patron Katie S. during our first ever Choose Your Hoe Adventure episode. We handed the reigns over and let Katie S. introduce us to some newish items. We also learn how cassava and tapioca are connected, how great the need for cheese trail mix is and that Hilary Duff really needs to listen to a few more episode of TH.
