PLUS — Friend of the Pod and HUGE LOSER Nora McInerny of Terrible, Thanks For Asking, has a, well, more uplifting podcast called "It's Going To Be Okay". “It’s Going To Be Okay” is a hard thing to believe given the state of, oh, everything. Many things are, in fact, not going to be okay at all. But on the advice of a wise therapist, the team behind Terrible Thanks For Asking is on a quest to find one okay thing about every day. Each morning, they’ll bring you a short story, essay, or interview about one thing to remind you that it might not all be so bad – even if some things are. Listen here!

It’s the Great Sock Debate, Charlie Brown! We go deep on shallow socks, the cult of Bombas, wool in the summertime, and Caroline’s favorite (oft-mentioned here) slippers.

Caroline talks to best friend of the pod, Ammie Y’all, about Ammie’s planner journey and influencing status (status: planner influencer). It worked on Caroline, will it work on you? If we could recommend even one thing from this list, it has to be the photo printer. Even if you’re not a planner head. TRUST US! As discussed on the pod!

Coffee is a touchy subject but when I mentioned the Moccamaster on IG, the crowd went WILD. Beloved by everyone from Sally to Serena Wolf to Jenn Falik to Nora, this thing is POPULAR. So ofc, we had to discuss. Even though I'm pretty sure I've never had a "good" cup of coffee in my LIFE (or CARE)! Sally and I get into coffee for heads and non-heads alike, and then I read Sally a comprehensive list of everything I purchased in the last 60-75 days. Even though it’s super embarrassing, tbh.

Hi all! For those of you who aren’t on IG or Facebook, you may not know why you haven’t been seeing new or consistent episodes of Gee Thanks! in awhile! I have been taking a little bit of mental health time for myself, which means that sometimes there are eps, and sometimes there aren’t. I know, I know, as a listener this can be annoying. I appreciate that you’re here now, because we’re back with new episodes, starting with this one! This show is hosted by Caroline Moss and Sally Tamarkin. Mentioned On This Episode!

MARCH 2023: Hi all! For those of you who aren’t on IG or Facebook, I have been taking a little bit of mental health time for myself, which means that sometimes there are eps, and sometimes there aren’t. I know, I know, as a listener this can be annoying. I appreciate you sticking around; this won’t be forever. In the meantime, I decided to choose a few of my favorite episodes of yore to share back to the feed. This one today is episode 27, aka the first time Nora and I ever SPOKE, ever conversed, ever met (via Zoom), ever crossed each other’s paths. It is so rare that you record your first ever interaction with someone who ends up becoming FAMILY to you. At the time of recording that episode in 2020 we could not have known what life held for both of us (syncing up our IBS, for one). I could literally cry and I often do.  ENJOY, and know that I miss you and I look forward to lighting up the pod waves again soon. _____________ MAY 2020: Nora McInerny is hot and tall and hysterical and she joins us today because I am trying to be her third husband. I have maybe never laughed harder in my life as we recorded this and Nora is a woman who has made a living out of talking about grief. Many of you told me Nora was a national treasure. Many of you...are correct. Nora and I discuss literally who can even say, because I blacked out while recording this and all I remember is cackling for over an hour!  Her product pick is a good antidote to the airpod life, and I am starting to suspect all of the best authors are working out before they sit down to write, which means I will never write another book again.
