In the first episode of 2019, Isobel and Doreen talk about (the backlash against) Tidying Up with Marie Kondo, the minimalism movement, elitism, and hoarding.

Doreen would like you to know that the ashtray she mentioned was merely decorative.

Isobel and Doreen would also like to apologize for the episode's abrupt ending.
