April 14, 2023 18:57 - 1 hour - 104 MB

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. M...

Ep 175: Sally Searches For Sweatshirts Down By The Tee Store

March 08, 2023 16:09 - 58 minutes - 80 MB

We all have that piece of fast fashion clothing we love. A pair of jeans, a specific style of tee shirt or underwear, a sweater. We love it until it’s too loved to continue wearing and then we go searching for it again only to realize it’s GONE. FOREVER. Sally is currently Going Through It with a 2010 H&M DIVIDED bodycon hoodie that they bought on a whim and then proceeded to wear FOR YEARS to literally everything, including:  Their first date with their now partner Live podcast recording...

February 26, 2023 17:10 - 1 hour - 110 MB

Do Sally and I know the difference between LED bulbs and not LED bulbs? No. Do Sally and I know what a lightbulb is and how it works? Honesty unclear. Do Sally and I still have fun talking about things even if we know nothing? Obviously.  This is the cozification of our homes using lamps (with bulbs), and TJ Maxx lighting (because Sally is stubborn.

Ep 168: Best Ikea Find (and FYI, it's...clothing?!)

January 02, 2023 13:46 - 1 hour - 101 MB

Here’s the last of our holiday episodes, including the best Ikea find I’ve found in quite some time. Beware: the find is not super size inclusive in the arms. Hoping Ikea wants to make more and makes them bigger when they do. Because of an asthmatic cat (seriously), and my holiday travel, we have not yet recorded our “roast our 2022 purchases” episode with Dan and Sally’s partner Andrea. Don’t worry…it’s coming this month. Thanks for bearing with us, and HAPPY NEW YEAR!   GO SHOPPING WITH...

Sally and I go through the gifts we’re giving to our families this year, and why my parents need an ornament of a construction cone (you know, the orange ones).

Ep 165: Everyone's Getting Games For The Holidays

December 04, 2022 16:08 - 1 hour - 96 MB

Sally and I rundown the wild week of Black Friday/Cyber Monday, Nora surprising me for my birthday (SOB), a Kiehl’s perfume I love and more. Then we get into the “Games That F*ck” portion of the show because FYI we’re both game-heads.  We run through the basics and favs, as well as the games that are good for family togetherness, hanging with your siblings, or just needing something to distract you from endless chatter with distant aunts and uncles.  Target and Amazon both have tons of gam...

October 21, 2022 18:28 - 59 minutes - 81.5 MB

Two products I bought in the last 60 days that have been worth it: an air fryer and a leaf blower. Sally has neither but maybe by the end of the show has both? And why I think an air fryer has much more staying power than the Instant Pot.   Plus Hannah, who took home the vintage dresser I couldn’t stop thinking about, joins us to give an update on how it’s doing in her home. Then she stuns us with a baby powder lifehack that leaves Sally and I gasping.   Mentioned on the show: Air Fryer...

Which Gee Thanks! guest co-host penned the controversial argument, “Against Trick-or-Treating” in the 90s? If you guessed Sally Tamarkin, you’re right! We dive deep into Halloween: the costumes we bought, the candy we counted, and what made a neighborhood trick-or-treatable (PS. our opinions were not always correct). Plus, what we think of Halloween as adults and what Caroline thinks Sally should do with the essay.   Also, did your high school have a Halloween parade? Caroline’s did. Do yo...

Ep 155: I Wish You Would Step Back From That Dresser, My Friend

October 01, 2022 19:15 - 55 minutes - 76.1 MB

A week ago I walked into a thrift store and found truly the vintage dollhouse dresser of unrealized dreams for sale for $125 and I balked and didn’t buy it (but listener and new friend Hannah did). Now I can’t stop thinking about it and I had to call Sally in to help me figure out why I, a professional money spender, panicked and didn’t spend the money on this dresser. We’re calling it non-buyer’s remorse.   PS – Do you have this 70s dresser? Can I buy it from you?   Mentioned on the sho...

Ep 153: Hitting The Road With A Food Smock

September 16, 2022 22:17 - 1 hour - 135 MB

I am nervous to share with you that we’re talking about car things again.    I think this makes three episodes where car things have come up, but Sally is going on a Road Trip (capitalization for formality) in October and we thought it was appropriate to bring up some car things. But I know Gee Thanks-heads who are loyal listeners will be like “REALLY, CAR GARBAGES AGAIN, CAROLINE?” but look, we don’t go through life CHOOSING our passions, okay? We are born this way. Or at least, I am.   ...

We play two truths and a lie and I make a claim that nothing bad happens at Disneyland, death-wise. Do not send me any claims refuting this. I will not read them. It's the only time I go on rollercoasters, I don't wanna k...

Ep 151: REPLAY: Alison Rosen Teaches Me About Tubing Mascara And Christmas Trees

Ep 148: Trapper? She's A Keeper.

August 13, 2022 18:00 - 1 hour - 99.8 MB

Back to school season is here and we think it’s kind of unfair that as 30 and 40-somethings who are not, in fact, going back to school, we don’t get to participate. So we spent a bunch of time trying to convince ourselves that purchasing a vintage Trapper Keeper is actually a productive purchase. Points are made. Trapper Keepers are purchased. But not the ones that are on sale for $200+ (WTF???). Additionally: Frank HBO and The Real John Max get scolded (by us). (@TheRealJohnMax) Trapper Ke...

July 29, 2022 14:31 - 1 hour - 98.3 MB

This episode is alternatively titled, "Where Elon Musk does his Father's Day shopping, probably?" Sally got served one ad for a gravity chair and then we got lost on the world's weirdest website full of $500,000 hover golf carts that you can add to cart but can never, seemingly, check out?  Also, why do I want something called an AeroSki more than I have wanted anything ever?

Sally and I go deep on DEEP CLEANING thanks to the Gee Thanks! community basically selling out the Bissell Little Green spot cleaner. Bissell-heads know this thing packs a punch and Sally said she would lay down her life for Little Green, no cap.

We also reveal the things in our houses we just don’t care enough about to clean. Products we talked about: ...

This episode is all about accessorizing for hobbies we’ll probably get bored of by next week. But boy isn’t it fun to pick out a colorful headband?
