We recorded this episode last month, which is why you’re hearing us talk about…the submersible. And we recorded this episode before they announced of the submersible’s implosion. You are WELCOME for this June 2023 time capsule. 

We’re talking BOOKS, people. The ones we’ve read recently, the ones we’ve loved forever, and the ones we recommend you take out from your local library. Would love to hear what you’ve been reading lately!

Books Discussed On This Episode:

What’s in your Amazon cart? Is it full of stuff you want to remember you were looking at, like Caroline’s? Or are you a strict 0-4 items in the cart They like Sally? We go through all of the things we’ve been hoarding (or not) on Amazon, and want to know what you hoard in yours! What actually gets you to buy something vs. what makes something stay in your cart for years (like Caroline’s emotional support macaroni salad?) AMAZON CART PSYCHOLOGY!

Mentioned in today’s episode:

Let’s go to the beach, beach! Sally and I talk about our fav beach and summer products, and Sally makes us aware of a law we are definitely all 10000% breaking.

Caroline talks to best friend of the pod, Ammie Y’all, about Ammie’s planner journey and influencing status (status: planner influencer). It worked on Caroline, will it work on you? If we could recommend even one thing from this list, it has to be the photo printer. Even if you’re not a planner head. TRUST US!

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.

I appreciate that you’re here now, because we’re back with new episodes, starting with this one! This show is hosted by Caroline Moss and Sally Tamarkin.

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: 

Do Sally and I know the difference between LED bulbs and not LED bulbs? No. Do Sally and I know what a lightbulb is and how it works? Honesty unclear. Do Sally and I still have fun talking about things even if we know nothing? Obviously. 

This is the cozification of our homes using lamps (with bulbs), and TJ Maxx lighting (because Sally is stubborn. We’re also talking about the best blankets we own and my surprising new obsession with my Ruggable (not #spon!) rugs.

Plus, SALLY CAMEO in a TIKTOK!

Are we Points Theys? Are you? Sally and I discuss: who really owns our homes, M3GAN and THE MEG, My AMC A-List subscription, Sally’s new romcom about getting gas with cash (it’s got everything!), and diving into a new personality of points.

Live from a closet in Vegas it’s Caroline and live from their office it’s Sally! This week we’re talking about the chores we hate and the products we bought to make us hate those chores less. Caroline’s most hated chore is breaking down cardboard. Sally’s is mopping. Frank Bissell has a solution to one of those.

Plus, ambiance videos and my pitch for Sally to see M3GAN and Sally’s pitch for me to see TAR.

Products Mentioned:

Do you have an Instagram ad that haunts you? Sally and I talk about the ones that haunt us. Plus, my fav pen and Sally’s fav pencil! It’s bougie! Also, I messed up my mic sound SO badly, but it will NEVER happen again or my name isn’t Frank Bissell!

Products Mentioned:

How does someone with ADD organize a fridge so that the spinach never goes bad? How do all of these boys know all of these line dances? How does Sally not wear SPF everyday?! All of this in more in today’s episode, where we welcome our #TheyInSTEM Sally Tamarkin as an official co-host of Gee Thanks!

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!

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...

We talk about our first Vegas trip, the Jessica Simpson holiday song that Sirius XM is literally OBSESSED WITH playing 24/7 (true last year and true this year!), and the startling discovery Caroline made when rewatching the Newlyweds Nick and Jessica Christmas episode for the 9 millionth time.

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. Then she stuns us with a baby powder lifehack that leaves Sally and I gasping.

Which Gee Thanks! guest co-host penned the controversial argument, “Against Trick-or-Treating” in the 90s? If you guessed Sally Tamarkin, you’re right! 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. Do you listen to this episode and think, wow these people have lost the joy?

When your therapist abandons you to become an executive life coach for the rich and famous, what white noise machine do you buy while you’re trying to find your next shrink via Zoom?

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?

Sally and I both shelled out the big bucks for the $700 (*SUCKS IN BREATH*) Litter Robot, and now we’re giving you our full review. If these cats could talk.

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 br...

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!
