Some good stuff here, in our humble opinion! Solid #intheboooooks talk, a lovely little side tangent about how some dudes just can't put the fuckin' toilet paper on the holder, a part where the batteries on the recorder die and we have to stop and buy new ones, lots of Sofie, you get the idea. But yeah yeah who cares because....
[REDACTED]!
We don't want to spoil it for you, but we are very excited about a certain head of silver hair (seriously, it's a great wig) and the fabulous acting happening on and around that head. And the rest of the episode? Pretty great, too.
Lots of love,
Julie, Allison, and Janine
Okay, y'all. Have fun. Bonus: Listen for when Sofie has a nightmare while we're recording and Julie has to go wake her up. It was distressing, but not as distressing as some other things.
Lots of love,
Allison, Julie, and Janine
Happy Thanksgiving, nerds!
Listen on for our thoughts on Roger's heel turn, Sophie Skelton's much-improved accent, Claire's thing for skulls, the footwear choices of ghosts, and loads of in-the-boooooooks.
Have a great holiday, we'll be back with the next episode (already in the can!) before you know it.
Fill your mugs and drink deep, friends, because this is a rough one.
Julie and Allison were on their own this week, but even without Janine's gentle guidance/reminders to stay on task, we'd have had some trouble. That was an upsetting hour with a few great performances and one blessed, very silly skunk attack.
Not sure what else to say, really. If we end up talking out of our asses, please call us on it—especially if you're a POC. Allison's on Twitter, Julie's on Facebook, and you can reach us both here.
Lots of love,
Julie, Allison, and Janine
NOTE: Now the correct audio file. Thanks to everyone who let us know about the error!
It's back!
This is a bit of an odd episode, because we did the last bit at Rogers Park Social, where we watched the premiere live with a bunch of you (Hi all! Thanks for coming.) But in many respects, it's business as usual. Nicknames. Swearing. A very good dog. (That part's new.)
We've got a backlog of episodes to release—life got crazy, in good ways and bad, for all of us—so please forgive us if all of a sudden we're talking about stuff that happened in June. This, though, is in very good time.
Our new release schedule, if that's your bag, is as follows:
Patreon - Monday
Everywhere else - Wednesday
Bonus/Backlog - Kinda random times?
More to come soon!
Love,
Julie, Allison, and Janine
In March, we played a weird game. It happened to be in a room full of people at one of the best conventions in the world. This is what happened. Enjoy.
Love,
Allison, Julie, and Janine
So this is an odd one, friends.
The first half: us tracking down and reacting to the teaser for the fourth season of Outlander.
The second half: a "spoiler section" that quickly devolves into a conversation about DNA and then about tampons. You can skip ahead to 28:30 if you don't want to hear spoilers (well, there are still some very mild ones) but do want to hear us jaw for half an hour.
Important note: this was recorded before news broke that the Golden State Killer may have been identified thanks to DNA/Ancestry websites.
Lots of love,
Allison, Julie, and Janine
It's here! It's Dudelander!
For those new to the fun and games, our seasonal Dudelander episodes feature Neal (Julie's husband) and Kevin (Allison's arch-enemy who is actually just her friend), two gentlemen who watch Outlander with varying degrees of enthusiasm. Usually, they're pleasantly surprised by some things and not by others; this time around, we're all pretty frustrated so the vibe is different.
They're funny, and we got them wasted, and also we recorded this on NEW YEARS EVE, so don't be confused when we start singing Auld Lang Syne.
Working through this backlog. We love you.
Kisses and Cherry Bounce,
Allison, Julie, and Janine
For this episode, we were live. We did it live. Live at Empirical Brewery, we gave out our traditional end of season awards, and we did so live and in person. Live. It was in December. We're catching up on the backlog, we promise. So... happy holidays?
We also got to see so many of you! It was wonderful. We especially want to thank Megan and Tori, who brought waffles as per tradition, the wonderful Wisconsin contingent — and in particular Chantel, who brought us hats she knitted which are so warm and comfy, everyone who brought friends with them, and Jennlander Drunklynn, who came in from California (for reasons besides us, but still). It made us so happy and we were so touched.
Here we go! Love to you all.
Lots of smooches,
Allison, Julie, and Janine
Hey y'all,
We got busy in weird, stressful ways, but we're back! We promise. Contained herein you'll find information about our live show at C2E2 this weekend, our thoughts on Tobias Menzies' new gig, where the hell we've been since December, some jokes about our collapsing emotional states, and all kinds of other stuff. We'll be back NEXT WEEK with new episodes and we promise not to disappear again.
Lots of love,
Allison, Julie and Janine
