This week Julie (your old pal) contemplates grout, cassowary feet, and Billy Joel. All hail Salt-N-Peppa in 1993. Nobody has been or will be better than them. Meow!

Hello friends! Julie is back to discuss naughty sheep, some of her famous cooking tips, and the spectrum of opinions on Mother's Day. New York City is losing its mind! Have some banana bread.

The world is TERRIBLE but your friend Julie is here to chat with you and help pass the time. This week we discuss Debbie Reynolds, precocious children, and chat with Nate about the time Julie abandoned him at a screening of The Diving Bell and the Butterfly. Then we have the supreme honor of talking to Ada Calhoun about Why We Can't Sleep, her incredible book about Gen X women. Thank god for Sondheim!

Julie has found the source of the virus and it all comes down to Renée Zellweger. In other news, we discuss The Taking of Pelham 123, a seitan brisket, and the beautiful women of vintage prison films. Stay indoors and watch TCM, pals.

Julie has a brand new podcast with her pal Tom Scharpling (The Best Show) called DOUBLE THREAT! Enjoy this sneak preview and subscribe to DOUBLE THREAT on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts. DOUBLE THREAT premieres on Monday April 6th with new episodes EVERY Monday. Produced by the Forever Dog Podcast Network.

Everything is so bad! But in these trying times, Julie is here to discuss nazi-fighting fish, vegan shoes, Kat Von D's lamp, and Under the Skin. Please look at the Welch goats. We love you.

Your friend Julie is back and ready to explore the great indoors with you! We've got thoughts on our current national crisis, a recap of The Experience, and a pivot to veganism. Thanks to you for listening and thanks to Robin Columbo for all she does.

It is 2019 and Julie has some thoughts about Mary Poppins grooming children, an idea for a new small business, and an update on Merle Allin's ongoing relationship with DryBar.   Oh yeah, and John Kasich attacked her through air travel arrangements and it was worse than Fyre Festival. Don't worry, vaccines still work.

I've got a puzzle for you, loyal How Was Your Weeklies. What's the difference between a Garbage Pail Kid and the current administration? Answer: Klausner can talk for hours about one of those!   Also, your pal Julie K. has a new SNL-related superpower to unveil and some thoughts about the interior design business featured in the podcast-turned-television series Dirty John. Hold on to your seat, Eric Bana.

Hello How Was Your Weeklies! On this episode, Jubees discusses the most fuckable Christopher Lloyd character, we review the discography of the musical artist Kermit the Frog, and meet a doula who can’t spell but who CAN encapsulate a placenta. So, unless you’re Joan Collins eating soup, strap in to hear about the Yiddish Fiddler, 9/11, and Mr. Jazz’s teef in episode 228. #StephenHawking

Hellos my lovelies! TRIGGER WARNING: People have not been nice to Tracy Chapman.   This episode starts with Nazis and the theme continues. But don't worry, there are also some thoughts on what to do with all the fruits and vegetables you have in your basement freezer. Oh yeah, and there are beavers in this podcast and they're not a moment too soon.   Oh and hey, do you like Fosse? Do you like grapes? Do you like UNCLEAN COMEDY? Congratulations, then you're a sociologist.

Lordy, lordy look who's Jubees! After banishing Pennywise the clown back to his dark ride, Miss Klausner escaped to Europe for an actual, non-expensed, vacation.   As such, we will cover fairy tales, theme park foods, pizza lovers, and what exactly killed Duke, the Bush's Baked Beans dog. Some opinions you can keep to yourself dad, but tell your bullies how much you love episode 226!

Jubees has made a big list of her favorite musicals (which AREN'T in order) because look around, what the fuck else is there to do? Then we discuss documentaries about wonderful people (and also Marlon Brando), some thoughts about DJ Khaled and ice cream, and a giant fuck you to the American healthcare system for everyone but cats.   Whatever you do, don't put a Pepsi on your erection.

"BUY YOURSELF A HIGHLIGHT MAGAZINE!" – Goofus, Gallant, and Jubees   This week Julie has a certain anti-vaxx goth lady to roast – and how! On a similar note, where are all the smart people? Why cannot we keep them around?   There's also some horrible pedophiles, Jerry Springer's money pile, and some thoughts on why the Tonys should be on PBS.   As a final note: Bake cakes for gay people you fucking losers. Enjoy episode 224!

THERE IS A DRILLING NOISE AND IT WILL NOT STOP. DRILLLLLLL!   This week we discuss having Shabbat dinner at a Wendy's DRILLLLLLL! get a few goth updates DRILLLLLLL! debate home births on Instagram DRILLLLLLL! and see a Branson Beauty. DRILLLLLLL!     Finally, we stop in with a lovesick pal and discover just how he learned to dance and if you can watch him now.   DRILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well Jubees has some breaking news for you regarding a several goths (including the world's oldest), DJ Khaled's inability to freestyle a taco, and the dark twisted history of Goofus and Gallant.   Will we have time for a line reading from Marisa Tomei? You bet your ass we will. There is also a very sexy poem about a very good boy. Please, enjoy episode 222 and recycle it to your friends.

Pick up your phone, a beautiful redhead has THINGS TO SAY.   First we need to talk about dangerous nonsense like 90s gender dynamics, Jilly Juice, Charles Manson, and the musical Frozen.   Then we're going through Cool Dog Gear, the Murphy Brown reboot, and an excellent idea I had at my doctor's office.   Don't worry, there will be time for Garry Shandling sex dreams!!!

Stop pulling that antenna off that car and get over here, there's a new How Was Your Week! Julie is fresh from glamorous LA where she had been seen hobnobbing with Ted, the dirty teddy bear, and every single Minion. Don't worry there's also some very stupid dogs, Jesus, and Rojo Caliente. See you in the recording studio for Over the Hedge!

Ooohhh, I love the pods and the pods love me!   Hello to you and welcome to this week's discussion of Oscar films, lead paint, and Victor Mature.   There is also a bit of sex, a dab of polka, and some musings on the personalities of hounds and their owners.   You're the pudding mix in my salad, Twisty!

Hello my little horse chestnuts, 'tis I, the queens of whole foods (not the store).   This week we have an emotional journey through a dog's magnificent and necessary birthday party, my potential allergies, Anthony Weiner, and a cake that aspires to be more famous than Rihanna.   Slide into this baby like a bare foot into an Ugg boot!

Is that a death mask you're wearing or did you just get some micro-blading done? Either way, it looks scabby!   Miss Julie has returned to you and boy does she has some piping hot takes on Valentine's Day, human torture, and RuPaul's Drag Race! Does she have one on Star Wars? Yes, the old one because of Carrie Fisher and no other one.   There is also a very busy mouse you're going to have to deal with and that's just the way it is, pal.

Guess who it is! A globetrotting Jubee with tales of dudes and foods. Only one of those was worth the airfare to Yurope, can you guess which?   Plus: We dissect the plot of Rosemary’s Baby... also full of disappointing men!   It’s okay, Jimmy learned some new opera skillz – which is the main thing. Stick around for episode 216 and watch Difficult People on Hulu, ya dopes!

JUBEES BEAT HITLER! WE'RE BACK!   This week, while other cats want to fly, fold, and make bouquets, Jimmy wants to brandish his knife.   Meanwhile, we discuss David Lynch, German hotel managers, the goyim, and the 7 deadly sins (such as bird dancing, water parks, and chewing gum).   You are not dying. Watch Watch Difficult People season 3!

Gather round and hear the tale (or should we say TAIL) of Julie's recent emotional reckoning with the musical Cats (and also real cats)!   Then we'll deal with the cavalcade of stars at the DNC, this Pikachu character, and Margot Robbie – who is NOT basic anymore, as the posters for her new movie are aggressively telling us.   Can you wear a white suit if you're not Steve Martin in the 70's? You'll find out in episode 214.

Well, we've got what you've been waiting for: JULIE DISSECTS THE 1990 EROTIC DRAMA WHITE PALACE! Also, Brian De Palma has some thoughts! What are you waiting for, a split screen? Cher's the best, but episode 213 is pretty great too! More desserts? I'll pray for you.

Hello there, How-Was-Your-Weeklies! Guess who's back? It's your pal Julie reporting live from the streets of New York Cit-ay.   Here's some things we need to discuss: Daddy issues, The OJ Simpson doc, The Tony's, and the patriotism of jury duty.   Are you a bodega cat? We love your work. Are you a bodega cat owner? Doubly so.   Also: Be sure to take notes on everything that is clarified in part one before part two, it is crucial information.

Julie found an Israel that isn't controversial, AT ALL!!!   In other news: Her neighbor is weirded out, she saw some amazing docs about an assortments of great characters (and Jeremy Scott is NOT one of them).   We find the exact recipe for a raising a good comedian, so be careful with that.   Julie also has some thoughts about which podcasts are good... keeping in mind this one is the best.   Why is there a glove? If you're a politician, you're about to find out!

Hey there, podcast loyalists! Julie saw the American Psycho musical (almost) 4 times, so you know what that means...   After a discussion of how it was great/why you shouldn't slice up ladies, we've got some thoughts on who understood the theme of the Met Gala. Double the carnage!   Are you a cartoon? Yes. Do you know how to correctly eat your hat? Probably not.   Look out Wendi & Jerry! It's Michael Stipe's beard AND IT'S GOT ZIKA!   A special note before we close out for the week: The world lost a very special person recently – and in her honor we're re-releasing an extended cut of Julie's interview with Michelle McNamara from 2011. Her genius is missed, but never forgotten.

Hello fellow podcast lovers, this week we discuss the 666 continuing reasons that P***** P******* is a scourge on this earth.   THEN! We'll breakdown American Horror Story and the equally terrifying and humorous fleece at REI.   Donna Karan has some thoughts about 9/11 and body suits, if you can handle it.   All of this and we've all lost 40lbs. Unless that invokes the patriarchy or something TAWDRY.   Don't be your own Eugene Landy!

Hello pals! James, are you reading this? How does it feel to be a garbage monster from theater hell, James? Anyway there's HamilTONS to discuss before it's time for the annual “Oh, American Horror Story is a big expensive mess.” The hits just keep on coming, as we discuss a date I went on with a man who skipped the flowers in lieu of a bouquet of opinions on women and comedy. Then there's some documentaries and cocaine we need to plow through before we bring it on home. Spooky boo! 

A much less beloved jew may or may not be living in my building! GAAAAH!   Anyway this week we talk about my blood sugar, defensive writers, cats, Cats: The Musical, Tim Burton, and other pressing topics.   There is also Difficult People commentary for episodes 5 and 6 with none other than Scott King!   Faeries and cogs for each of you. Gadzooks!

Shelley Winters! Fudge! Ben Harper! This week The Fat Jewish steals my bit about not being able to pronounce “Cathy Guisewite." We then discuss two very well documented sets of debates: The Gore Vidal/William F. Buckley Jr. debates of '68 AND The first Real Housewives of New York reunion episode. All this and two episodes of Difficult People commentary with Scott King? YUP.

Are you a DJ listening to this podcast at your local HEROIN MCDONALD'S? One can only hope.   This week we explore the delicacy of eggs, the lack of a limit on sensitivity, and you get commentary on TWO episodes of DIFFICULT PEOPLE.   A tip of the bangs to the fine people (and geese) at Planned Parenthood!

This week we have a post-birthday discussion of GRACE & FRANKIE & SKINNY COWS! In other news, Billy Joel took a new virgin sacrifice for his very own use. Mazel Tov! Hey, do you watch Celebrity Family Feud? You do now. And finally.. do cats like the saxophone? "Not really." Ariana Grande hates America!

THIS IS A POST BAGELS BIRTHDAY EPISODE! Today we discover the FLAVOR of loneliness! We also discuss the importance of Larry Kramer and other things on HBO GO, most of which are terrifying to all humans. Happy birthday, me!

This week we sit with my baby Jimmy Jazz (or "Jerry") as he recovers from a big visit to the dentist. Don't worry, he's HIGH AS A KITE. We also discuss the inner "we" and visit the world's least intuitive clairvoyant for a SPELL. Our guest this week is the fabulous and fantastic Robin Lord Taylor from GOTHAM. Arms and legs inside the car at all times, kids!

This week your old pal Julie is grappling with the super relatable problems of a person with their own TV SHOW! Can a person get a service dog to help manage their social anxiety? There is also some musings on spa culture and the psychological cost of dieting. Come with me ladies, it's time for lunch. Bring your hat!

We made it to show number 200! Hurray! This week we said goodbye to Letterman. Not Hurray! We also said goodbye to Mad Men! Eh. We'll talk to Chris “Spoony” Spooner about our thought crimes about Thought Crimes (the Cannibal Cop movie) and Thomas Middleditch about his show Silicon Valley. So get on your Robin Wright sleepwear and pack the cucumber water for episode 200!

This week we discuss the upcoming unveiling of DIFFICULT PEOPLE and exactly how Krave cereal fits into that. We also cement our collective hatred of Frank Sinatra and his lazy brand of terrible humanity. On a similar note, we touch on the Cannibal Cop's current goings on and Phyllis Schlafly, both of whom are terrifying. Hurray for Pig! (Rihanna's animated cat, not the other kind.)

This week we tear through piss culture, pig culture, and piss-pig culture through FX's THE COMEDIANS. Then Julie is attacked over some tweets about all-around-bad-president Ronald Reagan by TWITCHY conservatives. Marvin Hamlisch is an American Master who was a real HAM and whose friends also describe him through food. Also, Penn Jillette's on a tricycle-starvation diet and it's just is bad for science. Congratulations on your Mark Twain Award, Eddie Murphy. GOD BLESS ALL GAY PEOPLE!

Hallelujah! She has risen! We're back AGAIN! Your ol' pal Julie & Co., here to celebrate Zabar's and mourn all fallen Fashion Police officers. Guilana Rancic kicks off spring cleaning by revealing all her victimhoods and my bulding keeps it going by bidding farewell to my old idiot neighbor and his racist dog and stupid classic rock band. Next we touch on the excess of comedy journalism and how embarrassing HOBBIES truly are. All in all a great week! A good Friday to you, indeed!

It's 2015 now! Time flies when you're on hiatus making a TV SHOW! This week we're playing catch up on all the events that have transpired since we last spoke. There is so much.   Robert Durst's star has risen.  Into the Woods gave us musical splendor and Lady Gaga cleared her throat. We also clarify the single exciting and new thing about Going Clear and the important distinction in scale between Kat Von D and a California forest fire.   Then some questions from you people! The listen-airs! Don't call it a comeback, call it The Comeback.

Hi! This week's guest is SADIE STEIN, who is here to talk to us about how fucked up it is that dolls can't get decent medical care in Manhattan anymore, the plot of ANNABELLE, amazing things she has overheard on the street from weirdos, and a CRUCIAL story about an older man who finally got to live his dream.

Hi! This week's show grapples with that irritating commercial for Special K that replaces women's sizes with patronizing adjectives, talks about why Renee Zellweger's face is actually important to discuss, tries to deal with how stupid American Horror Story is, reviews dog costumes and makes Redhead Hall of Fame inductee, the "It's a Fact" girl from KITH, a bona fide countess. Plus- LOUIS PEITZMAN is here, and we are going to talk about the internet, gay stuff, growing up in California, and why it's very important to have a gay male shrink when you're a gay male going to a shrink, damn it! Hare Krishna, Hare Hare.

Enjoy as Julie & Cole discuss the tension the two of them got past due to them both being Bossy Bottoms, the different kind of moms represented on commercials these days, the origin of one of Cole's characters, Lorraine, and what she has to do with one of the daughters of an author being interviewed on NPR, and what Patti LuPone said to him while getting out of an elevator one time. Plus: On The Town and the dread of having to go to a second location whilst you are intoxicated! Twisty the Clown and why he is better than Michael Chiklis! Jay Leno's stupid and obnoxious decision to not have Joan Rivers on The Tonight Show, and why it is based in insanity.

Enjoy this chat about: how to never be boring, where you can wear something you were afraid you wouldn't be able to wear, why hats are important, and how come enough with the t-shirts and jeans. Plus: Julie went to see the Chuck Jones exhibit and The Jerk at the Museum of the Moving Image, and she has things to say about Bernadette Peters's hair and Coyote & Roadrunner's questionable appeal, Aaron Spelling's unique "Fuck You" approach to creativity, how Mickey and Minnie Mouse would, as a human couple, be the worst people to ever have to endure a dinner with, and a dramatic reading of the most misguided and self-centered passages of Ann Rule's book about Ted Bundy.
