Just two weeks ago I tweeted about watching “That Thing You Do” for the first time and developing my first celebrity crush on Tom Everett Scott and now here we are: Tom Everett Scott is on Gee Thanks, and he brought products to share and I tried to not get too giggly during our Skype call (I failed).

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!

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).

NOTE: We recorded this episode back in January before Coronavirus became A Thing. I hope this episode brings you joy and a little bit of a break from all of the news. Stay safe and sanitized. Love you guys.We’re talking JEANS and GENES and SUNSCREENS with my gal, Lisa Tozzi aka Tozzi. Not only is she the managing editor for news and operations at The Markup (https://themarkup.org/), she’s also just...the best? We love Tozzi. OH WAIT BEFORE WE GO FURTHER—Follow along with recs (and share your own via DM) on the “Gee Thanks, Just Bought It!” Instagram: www.instagram.com/geethanksjustboughtitpodOkay so we’re talking about JEANS first. We both love a Madewell jean and I talk about my newfound dupe for $150 Madewell jeans but there’s a caveat to the dupe, and I give you some tips about dealing with that caveat in this episode. (Also did you know I married the HEIR to Madewell? Okay that’s not technically true, there is no money involved and I don’t get a discount (boo) but it’s also kind of true. See here: https://www.buzzfeed.com/dannosowitz/how-madewell-bought-and-sold-my-familys-history). Other things Tozzi and I get to in this episode: the deep lines on my neck that I swear to G appeared on New Year’s Day out of nowhere (at the time I hadn’t found a good product to help those lines out but those of you who follow the pod on Insta know I have recently found one!), Tozzi’s hatred of taking pics of herself, the $50 miracle for raw winter skin, and so so much more. This is also the first episode where our awesome editor Veronica was able to insert a song so please enjoy that moment. WE ALSO TALK ABOUT SUNSCREEN. ALL CAPS!! SUNSCREEN.HAVE YOU CALLED ME YET?

NOTE: This episode was recorded between 6pm-7pm EST on March 11th, 2020 — before Trump’s Euro travel address, the NBA cancellation, Tom Hanks announced that he tested positive for COVID19, and Sarah Palin appearing on the Masked Singer.Follow along with recs (and share your own via DM) on the “Gee Thanks, Just Bought It!” Instagram: www.instagram.com/geethanksjustboughtitpodInfluencer marketer Arielle Calderon joins us on “Gee Thanks” today to talk about PhoneSoap, a phone sterilizer that a PR company sent her way back in the day and that she happened to find deep in her closet a week and a half ago. Since we’re all staying sanitized and socially distant, remember that your phone is probably super super gross, and you should clean it as often as you wash your hands. They are about $80 and on backorder til April (as I write this), but I bought one anyway because you know what? This week has been eye-opening and maybe I should just be cleaning things more. I also need you all to follow Arielle on Instagram right now: https://www.instagram.com/ariellesays/?hl=enWe’re also discussing how we’re feeling emotionally about the state of the world (spoiler: not super amazing tbh), and ways we can try to feel better (spoiler: doing what we can to help others). Speaking of helping others, you guys have already done that. This week, so many of you stepped up and donated small amounts towards a pot for the Y, the JCC and for Meals On Wheels, which will serve as lifelines and lifesavers for our most vulnerable and at-risk neighbors. As I am writing these show notes on March 12th, we’ve PASSED our $5000 goal! If you still want to donate a buck or two, you can Venmo me @socarolinesays. I am really proud of this community we’re building together, and that we can both enjoy buying things like ~*~Diamond Dazzle Stiks~*~ and know when it’s time to put our money towards a more important cause. Hang in there, stay safe, and check in with each other. ALSO. AL. SO. We talk about how all of our parents (the boomers) are weirdly flying too close to the virus. Anyone else feel like they’re in a true Freaky Friday and playing the parent role?HAVE YOU CALLED ME YET? We have a phone number! Call it!

Age doesn’t matter but it’s a big deal that this week GTJBI welcomes its youngest guest ever...because she’s 7-years-old. Harlow Wiles is in second grade and on the weekends you can find her in the kitchen baking everything from pumpkin bread to cupcakes. But her specialty is pancakes—she charges $1 for one pancake and $5 for two; we love a businesswoman—so she stopped by the studio with her Insta-famous Mom, Ilana (@MommyShorts) to give us some pancake tips and dish on her favorite tv show as of right now, The Property Brothers. And she does NOT know what their actual names are, so do NOT ask, okay?Follow “Gee Thanks, Just Bought It!” On Insta: www.instagram.com/geethanksjustboughtitpod Harlow’s mom, Ilana, is the best “mommy blogger” I follow, despite my not having kids, and I have been following a lot of MBs for a long time. She has a lot of good intel on how #sponcon works and how she turned a job layoff into a living 10 years ago. She also brought her recommendation for dry shampoo, and it was one I had never even thought about before.Products Mentioned On This Episode:Makeup Forever Professional Powder: https://fave.co/37zGmSlFollow Harlow’s Adventures:Harlow’s Baking Show: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCkr44_XEvo@MommyShorts on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mommyshorts/Thanks for listening!Check out blog posts and all of the recommended products by past guests, listeners and Caroline at www.geethanksjustboughtit.com Shop the spreadsheet (updated with new recs all of the time!): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1vdIkPMWhV0FlRux3u_DVpuGvakQxkF3EbYT2ZVv45B8/edit#gid=0 and the Amazon store: https://www.amazon.com/shop/geethanksjustboughtitFollow along with recs (and share your own via DM) on the “Gee Thanks, Just Bought It!” Instagram: www.instagram.com/geethanksjustboughtitpodWant to get in touch more formally?

Have I told you guys my big shameful secret about how I’m the WORST PACKER EVER? It takes me no less than four hours to pack for a weekend away and yet I still end up with 9 tee-shirts, one pair of pants, no socks, no pajamas, a toothbrush with no toothpaste and one shoe. Luckily I have the perfect person to call in a travel emergency—Hitha Palepu! Hitha Palepu is an investor and author of How To Pack: Travel Smart For Any Trip. She shares 5 smart reads every weekday on Instagram and on her weekly newsletter, and she'll be launching her podcast, 1 Smart Thing, next month! You can follow her on Instagram @HithaPalepu.Hitha, who literally wrote the book on packing, joins us this week to talk about packing cubes, the fool-proof way to make sure you remember underwear on your next trip, her favorite planner AND the royals (or the not-royal-anymores!). Also, PILL BOTTLES AS THE NUMBER ONE TRAVEL ACCESSORY. JUST LISTEN, OKAY?This convo was so delightful that we had to essentially edit it down from, like, two hours to our regularly scheduled 30 minutes.
