Well on My Way to a Couple Buicks
Our monthly unscripted convo & recommendations
‘Tis the week for our unscripted conversation & recommendations!
We have an unscripted convo (rather than writing) about once a month. During this convo, we ridicule each other while discussing books and other things we are currently loving. Why? Because we’ve never felt so alive.
🤓 Awkward? Yes.
😬 Cringy? Mmmhmm.
🤩 Fun? The most.
If you typically read—rather than listen to—our stuff, you can listen to our convo by pressing the “play” button near the top of the post.
Here are a few highlights and the promised links from this week’s convo:
1:16 — If you can figure out how to install them, these Amazon Stanley lid covers are, in fact, game changers!
4:05 — Bethany has a new smut suggestion for Kara: want, collected by Gillian Anderson. Kara is skeptical.
6:00 — Kara gives an update on her attempts to abstain from Starbucks (one of Kara’s 24 changes for 2024) and how much money she’s saved by not showing up (testing the guru theory that your daily latte can actually make a difference in your finances)
9:40 — Travis talk. Trav, what are you wearing?!
13:15 — We “turn a phrase like Truman” — “Let ‘em cook.”
14:49 — “Sweaty Betty & Dare to Kare!” — we give updates on exercise challenges and wins
25:50 — The “Pedigree of Paula” moment is given to someone who displays class and character in a way that reminds us of our mother. This week, it goes to Brooke Astor of The Last Mrs. Astor.
28:45 — “Ask Bethany!” — A segment that allows our Knockers to ask Bethany anything you want and receive an honest, unfiltered response! Have a submission? Leave it in the caaaaaaawments!
34:00 — “Taste of Kara”— continuing with our Gilded Age obsession and attempting to make it somehow relevant to everyday life, Kara presents three “High Society Selections” and “Peasant Pivot Options” for home decor items she’s currently into. Let’s be honest: Kara mainly employs the peasant pivot option.
