Jalapeñ-Hoes

June 15, 2020 05:00 - 38 minutes - 26.6 MB

Things get pretty spicy this week, and we’re not just talking about Katie “Quick Pick” Bravo’s threats and perspective on practical jokes. It’s a jalapeño showdown with an extra sweet treat to top it all off. Plus, we try to figure out the average lifespan of a cat, Scandinavians’ virility, and just how gross thinly sliced hot dogs would be on a charcuterie board.  In the cart:  Pickled Fermented Jalapeño Slices Hot & Sweet Jalapeños Just The Lobsters  Support the Show.

There Must Be Something in the Watermelon

June 08, 2020 05:00 - 33 minutes - 22.9 MB

Pickle Popcorn is back, Hoes! But is pickle still the flavor of the summer? Based on these items, watermelon may be taking its place. We also divulge our house guest snooping habits, confirm that we both still have trash palates, and continue to navigate the perils of recording remotely.  In the cart:  Sparkling Watermelon Juice  Organic Watermelon Jerky Watermelon Cucumber Cooler  Organic Watermelon Fruit Spread  Support the Show.

What-A-Melon

June 01, 2020 06:00 - 45 minutes - 31.2 MB

Hey, Hoes. It is not lost on us that it is our privilege as white women that allows us to sit safely in our homes and record an entertainment podcast. We do want to try to bring some levity to your day, but first, say that we stand against racism and the horrible violence, murders, and inequality that led to the recent protests across the country. To our black listeners, we are with you.  In this episode, we explore some of Joe’s newest items, Evie’s desires to be launched unconscious into ...

Detest Kitchen

May 25, 2020 05:00 - 39 minutes - 27.5 MB

Spoiler alert: Quarantine has gotten weird, Hoes. We fell down a dark, twisted Trader Joe’s Test Kitchen rabbit hole and stumbled upon some equally dark, twisted tangents along the way. We find out how Katie truly feels about her grandmother, glimpse the intimate side of recording remotely and ponder if Katie’s dad is Michael Jordan’s doppelgänger. Oh, and we do talk about a few new TJ’s items...eventually.  🛒In the cart: -Dill Pickle Hummus  -Honey Mustard and Onion Seasoned Pretzel Piece...

Hoes in the Time of The Rona

April 27, 2020 05:00 - 26 minutes - 18.5 MB

Hoes, we are back! Times are crazy and weird right now, but we fought off our quarantine-induced inner demons long enough to hook these ol’ mics up to Zoom and answer your questions from Instagram. Thank you, kind Hoes, for your queries and for grinning and bearing it through the lags, connection glitches, and general tech quirks that have become our new normal. Join us as we discover why Katie can’t work at a sex hotline, reminisce about our time on the Titanic, share the trauma that brough...

Ay, Corona!

March 16, 2020 06:00 - 33 minutes - 23.4 MB

It’s quarantine time and you better believe the Hoes stocked up on some Trade Joes rations. Well, technically they’re just items Evie’s been accumulating in her kitchen for roughly a year but you get the gist. From frozen apps to salty snacks, it’s a nonperishable parade of never-before-featured foods. Also on the menu, ideas for the next Pixar film, Evie's distorted music knowledge and Katie’s savory solution for social distancing.  In the cart: Mandarin Style Orange Chicken Bowl Mac and C...

The Donut Divide

March 09, 2020 06:00 - 32 minutes - 22.2 MB

Well, Hoes, it was bound to happen. It took 10 episodes into season two, but we have found the item that will divide us as much in 2020 as Trader Joe’s Fig & Olive and Raisin & Rosemary Crisps did in 2019. It’s the donut. We discovered this week that we are on very opposite ends of the spectrum between liking raised and cake donuts. Which do you prefer? Along with several other breakfast baked goods, we discuss how strange our last names are, childhood cake trauma, and butt muffins.     In ...

In the Bag

March 02, 2020 07:00 - 37 minutes - 25.7 MB

RIP Joe Coulombe. You turned Hawaiian shirt Fridays into a daily uniform, created a wine selection that put other grocery chains to shame, and provided us with the snacks we didn’t know we needed and now can’t live with out. Wherever you are, we hope there’s pickle popcorn.  In this episode, the Hoes are hitting up Trader Joe’s bagged salad section for half-assed healthy eating. Get ready a toss up of flavors, a drizzling of “FEY-TUH” and a thorough investigation into Evie’s fork skills.  ...

Love You Elote

This week, Katie said it best: “It’s 2020. We’re not saying sorry, and we’re putting Elote seasoning on everything.” Yep, we’re doing a taste test with the brand new Everything But The Elote Seasoning Blend with some help from our Hoes. We took your suggestions and discovered just what this Elote stuff can do. We also reveal a new business idea, debate which president we think is hottest, and celebrate Katie using “caveat” properly in a sentence.  🛒 In the cart:  -Everything But The Elote ...

Rin Tin Tin

December 23, 2019 07:00 - 57 minutes - 39.6 MB

The Hoes are closing out their holiday series with a seasonal classic: the tin. From popcorn trios to something that may or may not be a drug on Riverdale, its a sweet-meets-savory showcase of Trader Joes’ one-and-done gifting.

In this episode, the Hoes get a little silly, fusilli that is, as they take a bite out of Trader Joe’s frozen, single-serve pasta selection.

The Hoes are hitting a wall with Trader Joe’s nonstop pumpkin parade but they’re powering through thanks to these oh-so-easy, oh-so-lazy breakfast items. Sure, they may just be glorified dessert. And yes, they’re washing it down with breakfast wine.

The Hoes are on part three of their pumpkin pilgrimage, and things are getting personal. After the most prep that they’ve ever put into an episode, expectations were high for this fancy pumpkin breakfast. They read instructions (or tried to), identified “seasoned crevices” as the best part of a baked good, and revealed the existence of specific voices that Evie uses for her dogs.  In the cart:  Pumpkin Spice Coffee  Pumpkin Spice Almond Beverage  Pumpkin Rolls  Pumpkin Chocolate Chunk O...

Ho-ing It Out: Zack McCarty

September 30, 2019 05:00 - 58 minutes - 40.6 MB

The third installment of Ho-ing It Out holds a smattering of firsts for The Hoes. It’s the first time Trader Joe’s virgin, Zack McCarty, sets foot inside a store. It’s the first time the Hoes record on location. And it’s the first time an episode resembles MTV’s The Real World. Things get salty and sweet, the Hoes imagine several innovative concepts (brosé and pumpkin spice vibrators, to name a few), and they wonder if Katie really did have a childhood.  In the cart:  Maison Barboulot Cabe...

It's part two of our Trader Joe's Pumpkin Series, and the Hoes are going all in on the savory seasonals -- as well as people who leave voicemails, balcony falcons (falconies?) and Katie's not-so-subtle pitch to the TJ's demo station associate about this very podcast.

The Hoes throw themselves a frozen fiesta courtesy of Trader Joe. And the only thing more adorable than the tiny tacos is their new recording studio: Katie’s childhood bedroom.

Yes We Candy

September 02, 2019 05:00 - 40 minutes - 27.6 MB

The Hoes play their own version of Candy Land this week, and the ending isn't exactly as sweet as they'd hoped. They also try to sink their teeth into some of life's burning questions. Is Trader Joe's heading to Europe? Is white chocolate even chocolate? Are children's pool floaties now fashionable bracelets? They might not have discovered any answers, but their dentists will most likely discover several new cavities.   In the cart: Mini Gummy Bears on a Chocolate Pool Day Fruit Jellies ...

Blame It on the Juice

August 26, 2019 04:00 - 43 minutes - 30.1 MB

It’s not Goose but it’ll do. From the cold-pressed to the hard to impress, the Hoes sample Trader Joe’s juice selection and barely make it out with their stomachs intact. This episode is a gut punch of Mother Nature’s refined-est, Olivia Wilde trivia (or should we say Olivia Cockburn?) and whatever the hell Yam Beans are.  In the cart:  Organic Ginger & Turmeric Juice Shots Organic No Joke Ginger Juice Shot  Cold Pressed Juice Green Cold Pressed Juice Red Organic Sparkling Apple Cider ...

Double Dips

August 19, 2019 05:00 - 44 minutes - 30.7 MB

This week, the Hoes are revisiting something that caused quite a stir the first time around: Dips. They're giving out second chances, falling in love with newbies, trying to corrupt innocent Trader Joe, mispronouncing everything, and maybe even proposing a Trader Hoes Instagram DM group.  In the cart:  Simpler Wines Rose Organic Creamy Cashew Fiesta Dip Pita Chips with Sea Salt Baby Carrots Jalapeño Lime Almond Dip Vegan Ranch Dip Zhoug Sauce Chocolate Hummus Support the Show.

Ali brings with her a smattering of gluten-free snacks and from the get-go, it’s clear she’s already a Pro Ho. The Hoes also have the great honor of introducing Ali to the Eloté Corn Chip Dippers, and Katie divulges her past as a circus performer in Mexico. Oh, and they somehow manage to work in some serious conversation about the stigma ...

Cold Brewskis

July 29, 2019 05:00 - 52 minutes - 36.1 MB

Get hyped because The Hoes are sipping on Trader Joe’s canned cold brew this week, and you know things got intense and jittery. They paired these brews with two heavenly coffee cake miracles, which honestly saved the day, and a bit of scatting, discussion of milk varieties, the Commandments of Trader Josef, a breakdown of our family trees and a heated debate about whether cakes are breads or not.  In the cart: Black Cold Brew Coffee Blueberry Streusel Bread French Vanilla Cold Brew Coffe...

Ravi-YOLO

July 22, 2019 03:00 - 39 minutes - 27.4 MB

Holy ravioli, Batman! The Hoes are deep diving into some serious refrigerated pasta from Trader Joe's — or should we say, Trader Giotto’s?

And Piiiiie Will Always Love You

July 15, 2019 05:00 - 43 minutes - 29.6 MB

It's Katie's birthday, so she chose to review the ultimate birthday dessert: Pie, duh. Of course the Hoes had to kick it off with Katie's favorite frozen pie ever, but then things took a turn. They explore whether pie crusts could actually be made out of farts or not, try to translate modern slang and take a particularly embarrassing stroll down Thanksgiving memory lane. Happy birthday, Katie!  In the cart: Cecilia B Vino Spumante Rosé  Key Lime Pie Lemon Meringue Tart Apple Crumble Pie...

Master Tammelier

July 08, 2019 06:00 - 40 minutes - 28.1 MB

This week, the Hoes are putting their tamale sommelier skills to the test while tasting Trader Joe’s fresh tamale selection and a few side pieces to round things out. And the favorite choice? Well, the Hoes did not see it coming. They also dish on which Spice Girl they wish they were, items they wish TJ’s carried, their joint celebrity name and Molotov cocktails.  In the cart: Reposado Tequila Queso Cheese Dip Sweet Potato Tortilla Chips Elote Corn Chip Dippers Five Layer Dip Handmade...

Meat Cute

July 01, 2019 05:00 - 33 minutes - 22.7 MB

The Hoes go HAM on some frozen burgers and discover a new favorite condiment in the process. Plus, Evie reveals that she knows absolutely nothing about beer, and Katie somehow segues into that one time she saw a dead body. Naturally.
