Replay Ep 27: Very Visible Headphones With Nora McInerny

4/2/2021 Note: Taking a mental health reset this week so replaying one of my fav convos with someone I now consider a great friend!! 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.Follow along with recs (and share your own via DM) on the “Gee Thanks, Just Bought It!” Instagram: www.instagram.com/geethanksjustboughtitpodNora 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.Mentioned On This Episode!Subtext Books in MN: https://subtextbooks.com/books?category=Nora+McInernyBAD MOMS: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bad_MomsArctic Tumblr: https://amzn.to/2TOzigtBose Headphones (Noise Cancelling): https://amzn.to/3dcFcjkMore inexpensive alternative: https://amzn.to/3dcYZPA Hosted on Acast.

Replay: Ep 18 with Jia Tolentino

Hi Geezers! Caroline is off this week, but please enjoy a replay of her chat with the amazing Jia Tolentino from March, 2020.Jia Tolentino of The New Yorker is here today to talk about her favorite bra, even though no one is wearing bras anymore because we have nowhere to wear them. She and Caroline also discuss the plight of boob measurements and also how we’re handling quarantining. Life is very normal, of course! Why do you ask?Very important for when we get back to the world, Jia’s favorite bra is currently on sale and the Natori website is offering 25% off your order this week: https://fave.co/2vQgBAf I recommend getting it in lots of colors because you’re gonna wanna be known as “fun bra gal” when we can go outside again. ALSO, when we can go outside again, New Yorkers MUST run, NOT WALK, to Nordstrom on 57th and go see Bo in the bra department.In a more serious tone, I hope you are all hanging in there and giving yourself some space to be a little “off.” If you aren’t listening to Doree and Kate’s new podcast, HERE FOR YOU, it’s a great way to both acknowledge the state of the world while also not overwhelming yourself (as I tend to do).

We’ve recorded more episodes in COVID times than in non-COVID times for awhile now so this is an episode where we just check in with each other (featuring the wonderful writer Amelia Diamond!). It’s October. How are we doing? (Insert Dorinda’s “Not Well, B*tch” gif here). We talk about how we’re getting work done (and how we’re not), the things we miss, the weirdness we feel. And yes, we talk about products too: Amelia brings her PedEgg and then we wax lyrical about body hair removal for awhile (get it? Wax?). I hope you guys are doing okay, too. It’s been like, a really long time. And this still just really really sucks! But hopefully this episode makes you laugh, because we laughed a lot while recording it.(Follow Gee Thanks! on Insta: www.instagram.com/geethanksjustboughtitpod! I wanna see you there!

Both were shot to death by police officers.

Ep 26: Elin Hilderbrand

If you haven’t heard me evangelize the brilliantly beachy books of Elin Hilderbrand, you are not paying attention. But now you’re going to have to, because Elin joins us today! Her 24th novel, 28 Summers, is out June 16! If you haven’t read your first Elin yet, what are you waiting for! Follow along with recs (and share your own via DM) on the “Gee Thanks, Just Bought It!” Instagram: www.instagram.com/geethanksjustboughtitpodElin and I discuss cooking, writing, exercise, and her product pick (which makes a great gift for you OR for someone else).
