Welcome back to the couch, y’all — the Christmas tree is already up, the tacos are on the table, and we’re recording this one at 8 p.m. like two people who’ve lived five lives in a week. We jump right in with the wild, last-minute launch of the new Lingua Franca NYC x Landon Talks drop — heirloom cotton-cashmere sweaters, hand-stitched in the U.S., featuring All Y’all, Bless Your Heart, Lollygagger, Might Could, and Dillydallier. We talk about what the collaboration actually means, how a Southern storyteller ended up in a New York luxury house, the very real conversation about price and fast fashion, and why part of the proceeds going to the Domestic Abuse Family Shelter of Mississippi makes it worth doing. Then somehow we end up deep in the ocean talking about dolphin sleep, elephant seals sinking to the seafloor like sleepy bowling balls, and water buffalo hiding underwater for five whole minutes like jump-scare submarines. All true. All disturbing. All necessary to share. We also learn that I don’t know how to scream on roller coasters and we talk about that viral AI video where the robot tries — and fails — to scream convincingly. Same energy. And then: Dancing With the Stars. We analyze the costumes, the projection sets, the live singers who out-sing Broadway every single week, and the joy of watching nervous people turn into real dancers. We break down our faves — Robert Irwin, Elaine Hendrix, Jordan Chiles, Whitney Leavitt (from Hulu’s Secret Lives of Mormon Wives), and Alix Earl — and make our official winner predictions. And then history betrayed us. We recorded this whole episode assuming Whitney would eventually win… only for WHITNEY to be eliminated. Shock. Betrayal. Confusion. We will be following up about this plot twist. We also talk about why MomTok reality stars are accidentally giving early-Kardashian energy, why adult dance classes should actually teach choreography, and a TikTok account of women dancing on red carpet in a basement that might be exactly the vibe.
