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.

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.

MARCH 2023: 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! What I shared on social: I have been taking a little bit of mental health time for myself, which means that sometimes there are new 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. I asked the IG followers to share their fav eps that represent the true ethos of Gee Thanks! It was fun to see how many different answers there were (we’ve done ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY FIVE EPISODES!!) but it was also hilarious to see so many of the same episodes be requested again and again. Ep 148: Trapper? She's a Keeper! is one such oft-requested episode and it’s not from that long ago! Sally and I recorded this about back-to-school vibes. As we transition (HOPEFULLY) from winter to spring, I like to think there’s a nice back-to-school vibe about that, too. ENJOY, and know that I miss you and I look forward to lighting up the podwaves again soon. _______ AUGUST 2022: 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???).

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 partnerLive podcast recordings, where they were the person on stageProfessional headshot dayAnd more We need to help them find this sweatshirt again. They miss it, and of course it’s the most generic hoodie ever that the SEO required to find it will be such a precise amalgam of words pertaining to hoodies. We have several photos of Sally in this hoodie so you can get a sense of why this is important. Note the specific stitching of the front of the hood.

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 US!

IF YOU ARE MY PARENTS OR MY IN-LAWS, YOU CAN’T LISTEN TO THIS EPISODE. THIS IS NOT A JOKE!!!!!! IF YOU ARE SALLY’S FAMILY, GET OUT OF HERE!!!! No disrespect!!!! 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). I figure out what I’m going to get them, but not how I am going to give it to them. It’s a whole thing. Plus, Dan’s Useless Toolbox and how I am going to Gift of the Magi-ify this holiday season. Sally explains how her family isn’t very gift-y but that her in-laws ARE gifty, so she’s on the hunt for something tangible to show up to their house with. Also, is a compass and a protractor the same thing? We say no but google yields different results.  GO SHOPPING WITH US!

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 games on sale throughout the holiday season, especially BOGO deals. We’re going to give you some ideas next time you’re cruising your favorite big box store, looking for a little FUN! BONUS: Does anyone have a dupe of a late Neutrogena lotion called “RAINBATH” and it’s NOT the oil that’s currently on the market?

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.

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.

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 show:This is the dresser we found at the thrift store: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/ASCEXrjS1jDcFBQnE5DeDY4OyEz4qhoxx1vrypmLmP6NuMA4D_ZZXfo/This is the Martha Stewart DIY version that I am going to (hire someone to) make: https://www.marthastewart.com/7838910/how-upcycle-dresser-into-dollhouse  GO SHOPPING WITH US!

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. But I do bring up some new ideas like a food eating sweatshirt. The Real John Max will be helping me patent.

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.

This is a replay episode! I'll be back on September 9! I LEARNED WHAT A TUBING MASCARA WAS. Alison Rosen is your (my) new best friend! It’s her podcast but it’s also a true statement. As I was listening back on this episode for editing I was like JFC, Caroline, if you love New York so much why don’t you just marry it! I am sorry it always comes up. But anyway: ALISON! She’s here to talk about her Balsam Hill Christmas Tree, sandwiches, mascara, and so much more. She’s also lived in LA for a long time and has never gone on a hike, which is so inspiring to me. She teaches me about tubing mascara and I teach her about evergreen scented candles and my favorite new Facebook group. Mentioned on the show:Balsam Hill Christmas Trees: https://fave.co/2ZV180o  Thrive Causemetics Tubing (!)

If you haven’t guessed yet, Sally Tamarkin is here for the long haul (or until she gets sick of doing this; really who knows!). This episode will let Sally Heads get even more hardcore about their Sally Head-ness and for soon-to-be Sally Heads have their inaugural episode! 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 know anything bad! GO SHOPPING WITH US!Subscribe to the newsletter for exclusive discounts just for you: www.geethanks.substack.com  Shop our Amazon Storefront: https://www.amazon.com/shop/geethanksjustboughtit  Gee Thanks! appreciates its supporters, especially Alley Peplinski, Becca Sheaffer, Allie Nagy, Angi James, Lindsay Creech and Erin Gibson!  Want to hear ad-free episodes earlier than everyone else?

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).

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. I talk about my drill attachment cleaner brushes, how vinegar and lemon is my new personality, and how much I hate my front-loading washer. We also reveal the things in our houses we just don’t care enough about to clean.Products we talked about: Bissell Little GreenDrill Attachment Cleaner Heads (Starter Set) (53% off!)Drill Attachment Cleaner Heads (Big Set)Continuous Spray Bottles Like a PMD scrubber, but for your dishesLong handle scrubberMeile VacuumPickleball Set Shop our Amazon Storefront: https://www.amazon.com/shop/geethanksjustboughtit  Gee Thanks! appreciates its supporters, especially Alley Peplinski, Becca Sheaffer, Allie Nagy, Angi James, Lindsay Creech and Erin Gibson!  Want to hear ad-free episodes earlier than everyone else?

Sally Tamarkin is back as my guest co-host and this week, their new personality is TENNIS PLAYER. By the end of the episode we both have newer personalities (Pickleball enthusiasts!). 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? Did you see that picture of space that was going around this week? It was like specks of millions of galaxies? If you look REALLY hard you can see Sally and I ignoring our new Pickleball sets.

Ashley Hosmer has no pants. She owns no pants. This is not hyperbole. If we asked her to count how many pants she has, the answer would be zero pants. She also doesn’t own an umbrella. But she does own a Victorian house, and she just Gucci wallpapered her entryway (and it’s not tacky even though it sounds SO tacky! Hi Ashley!). She has a great story about finding $$$$$$ chairs on Facebook Marketplace, and she doesn’t know what’s inside the walls of her old-ass home (because she doesn’t want to know, okay?).  Products we talked about:Best and most durable umbrellaChelsea rainbootsGucci wallpaperOld Navy jeansMadewell JeansThe Blue Dot ChairsAshley’s Instagram Shop our Amazon Storefront: https://www.amazon.com/shop/geethanksjustboughtit  Gee Thanks! appreciates its supporters, especially Alley Peplinski, Becca Sheaffer, Allie Nagy, Angi James, Lindsay Creech and Erin Gibson!  Want to hear ad-free episodes earlier than everyone else?
