Halfway There

Since it's another AM record, morning mucus takes center stage. We do a quick movie catch up with Jen extolling the sexy virtues of 1982's Cat People. After quizzing ourselves on the Wonders of the Ancient World, Kim & Camilo reminisce about their great Halloween costumes of yore while Jen remembers being... 'Turtle Girl'. This episode's main topic is a Top 15 list of what someone our age should be doing to keep their mind sharp. Since none of us manage to add up how many items on the list we actually do, we clearly have our work cut out for us. Episode cringe factor: 8.3/11

To Jen's profound dismay, in this episode Kim details how the superrich are purchasing residences aboard luxurious cruise ships that travel around the world in an endless loop. Jen is vowing to become a pirate but Camilo is already saving for his down payment. Speaking of the superrich, we discuss whether actors' plastic surgery detracts from their credibility on screen, Camilo tries and fails to clearly explain House of Leaves, and Jen wants to know if we're getting more or less critical as the years pass.

Our first episode! Jen's already several cocktails in and wrecks our perfectly rehearsed intros. It's only downhill from there, but in a good way – like skiing, where you -want- to go downhill. But we don't actually talk about skii-- anyway, it's good. A bit malformed like Sloth from The Goonies but still quality stuff. Just listen already! yc7fkuZjT88ozzz0DFbD

We chat a bit about downtown NYC doyennes from our era, especially Amanda Lepore and her distinctive lewks. Things heat up while we discuss Balenciaga's twin controversial recent ad campaigns, and no, Ye is not even involved in either of them. For our feature discussion, we evaluate new AI image software, which can turn you into the fairy queen of your fantasies, and ChatGPT, the new writing AI that is primed to disrupt everything from college essays to marketing copy.

Jen starts at 110% as she is urged to get up close to her mic. We have some serious discussion about the recent spate of US mass shootings but also consider whether Ian McKellen is a Shakespeare genius or hack. To get a fresh perspective on global affairs, Kim recommends the wild Chinese anti-US propaganda action film Wolf Warrior II. Today's topic is listless billionaires trying to increase their lifespan by eating the same sludge every single day – are you ready to be spooned today's serving of nutty sludge?

After a preamble on Camilo's nose "job", we enjoy Kim's tale of visiting the Mount Gay Rum distillery in Barbados. A discussion on Iran's prolific homemade booze reveals the conflict between religious dogmatists and the country's freedom-loving youth. Our segment focuses on Cindy Crawford hiring a midlife coach, leading us to explore what kind of wealth symbol a sunak is and how to really address your own mortality. Episode cringe factor: 4.2/11

Another half-baked one but not really! On the eve of Camilo's departure for his beloved homeland, Espania, we talk about the massive flop that is 'Bros' and if homosexuals were obligated to go and see Billy Eichner's rom-com.  Kim schools us on currency and Jen admits she loved the much-maligned 'Blonde'. And all three of us try to remember if there was a movie from our childhood that we hated and "triggered" us and since Camilo has no heart, he can only come up with childhood classic,  E.T. Jen and Kim do not agree. The Gen X-factor on this episode is high, like a 10.

Join Kim and Camilo while Jen pursues stardom. After discussing whether the 'reverse cowboy' is even a thing, we encourage everyone to give up their organs (preferably upon your demise). Kim expounds on animals consuming their owners after they die (the owners, not the animals) and a lab in the desert that studies what that looks like. After some talk of lucid dreaming, our main topic is a study on how aging might reduce – though not entirely eliminate – risky behavior. Episode cringe factor: 9.9/11

It's a morning record!! We discuss Venmo social media stalking, parents opening college credit cards and British council estate drama. There's talk about the metaverse, dating the traditional way e.g. yentas and matchmakers, and online dating for those who are using apps and need to check out their dating power dynamics. We get scientists' perspectives but, maybe even more importantly, we get Gwyneth Paltrow's. Episode cringe factor: 5.3/11

The agony of celebrity is real– noted fake Spaniard Hilaria Baldwin unable to remember the obscure English word 'cucumber', supermodel Paulina Porizkova bemoaning her unfair inheritance and (ok, not actually famous but internet famous) Bath & Body Works Karen not getting the candles she feels she deserves. We discuss generational entitlement, hurricanes, colonoscopies and more before moving on to our main feature– midlife crises. We get scientists' perspectives but, maybe even more importantly, we get Gwyneth Paltrow's. Episode cringe factor: 7.8/11

Yes, it's another halfsie. Yes, it's still terrific. We're feeling assertive because we're empowered by therapy. Even though no one gave us any good advice in the 80s, we're now doling it out whether solicited or not. Jen is admonishing smoking college students, Kim is mentoring wayward young professionals and Camilo is maybe getting dumped by his therapist. We try to pick up a sponsor, but Jen keeps torpedoing our chances. We also discuss dads with cancer, quiet quitting, early-bird dining and Kim's miracle cure-all: intuitive dining.  Episode cringe factor: 8.6/11

Another two hander, this time with Kim & Camilo. We try to make up for Jen's horribly bungled intro last week, throwing her under the bus since she's not here. Camilo asks Kim if Barbados' recent  swearing off of the monarchy is what finally did Queen Elizabeth in. We discuss art collecting, even if the art is... ummm... not fit for parental consumption. Kim coins the excellent term 'blingitude', Camilo discusses his deteriorating memory and makes a passionate argument for networking. Finally, we discuss the racist reaction to the Black Ariel in the live-action version of The Little Mermaid. Episode cringe factor: 6.3/11

Kim's 'under the weather' (HIPAA violation alert) so Jen & Camilo hold the fort with the extremely banal pop culture subjects, but guess what – they make it sparkle! Under the microscope are Lea Michele's controversial return to B'way, the Don't Worry Darling film premiere drama and whatever happened to Zac Efron's face.

Sip some absinthe to fully enjoy this episode. X-Tina's and Julia Fox's provocative outfits get us started, and we move on to suburban doorbell cams and accidental fentanyl. We discuss Sally Field's pioneering role as a multiple personality disorder sufferer and also as an iconic award receiver. Our main topic is weight training to keep that shit tight as you age.

Cute dog squeaks from Jen’s darling pup dot our animated discussion about dating young. Kim shares her experiences in TX and NY after the chill of Barbados, with a thoughtful discussion about gun ownership and U.S. gun violence. The Bennifer wedding provides a banal respite before Camilo dives into love in the metaverse.

Kim's traveling so Camilo & Jen tackle our horny listeners without her. We discuss aggro librarians, Maggie Haberman's knowledge of Mar-A-Lago's toilets, and the sadness of Anne Heche's crash. Our feature discussion is about religious LARPing, whether it involves the LDS recent sexual abuse accusations or liberals suddenly deciding to go Catholic.

Kim is fasting so any mention of food is verboten. Camilo wonders if she’s starting a cult, which leads to a discussion on the sex lives of cults. We are of course pundits so we make 2022/2024 election predictions, with Jen decrying the political gerontocracy. Camilo prods everyone for their earliest social media memories, but what Jen wants to talk about is dating & hookup sites and apps. One thing we can all agree on is that Jennifer Coolidge is pure joy. And please kindly donate to our Patreon for cool extras!!! https://www.patreon.com/halfwaytherethepodcast.

Another two-hander Half-Baked episode as Jen is shooting a film! Kim and Camilo run the topic gamut, from deflecting a Marie Kondo lawsuit to geriatric fatherhood. We reluctantly ponder Elon Musk's shirtless photos and Kim educates Camilo on Bajan stank face. Dining in shorts, fishmongers, sassy waitstaff and indifferent delivery drivers come up too. We discuss how long one should be in therapy but most critically we address men's peeing insecurities.

This heat wave has Jen almost igniting a historic quad while Kim & Camilo share their square dancing youth – and how we all crave dancing whether on a cruise ship, at a secret rave or in a Bulgarian club. Camilo extols the victory of emus over Australian forces, Kim believes Beyoncé's forbidden images should stand as points of pride and everyone agrees that JLo's olive oil treatments are bullsh*t. Our main feature– What does 'being hot' mean in 2022? And please kindly donate to our Patreon for cool extras!!! https://www.patreon.com/halfwaytherethepodcast. Episode cringe factor: 4.8/11

This is our sexxxy ep, with personal revelations about our youthful indiscretions that will have our mothers gasping. But we also cover essential topics such as Jen's balls, whether improv is just as good as therapy and if monkeypox is the new HIV. When Kim disappears, we have a Madonna minute but not before we discuss the timely Weiner/Abedin sex scandal.
