It’s Just a Guy in His Car

About this episode

Jacqueline and Kate discuss various topics including travel mishaps, health issues, and personal anecdotes.

This week, Jacqueline’s on eastern time while Kate holds it down in pacific. The kind of pain others can see and ceaseless reinvention. When the computer takes the long way home and the case for stealing at the airport. Barfing in Denver, intuitive booking and full-body scans. A hard brush the morning before the dentist... when sickness hits. The Yogurt Shop Murders and harrowing Uber rides, galore. Good rapport, driving too fast. Jacqueline recalls slowly rolling into something and Kate can’t just be dressed up in some guy’s car. Break a leg, bitch.
