Remember Hot Chips? (With Claudia O'Doherty)

About this episode

The episode features a humorous discussion with Claudia O'Doherty about food, nostalgia, and cultural topics.

On today's new episode we welcome back our friend, the hilarious actress, writer and comedian Claudia O'Doherty! Vanessa talks about a star-studded brunch she just attended which leads to the Bayer siblings explaining to Claudia what Good 'N Plenty candy is and she's not interested! And we ask Claudia: what is Britbox and should we get it? Plus Vanessa and Claudia muse on how they didn't know each other during those crazy times when they were coming up in their respective comedy scenes. Then Claudia gets into her topic of Hot Chips and teaches the Bayer's the best way to coat hot chips (you may refer to them as fries) with ketchup! And in a delightful game of CHANGE DOT DORK we debate the merits of The Body Shop bringing back their original White Musk scent in addition to the new vegan version (and ask why isn't all perfume vegan?), bringing back Australian Toaster Biscuits, and making a Knitting Emoji happen (spoiler alert, it has happened!) So be sure to listen to this wonderful episode and if you're in New Zealand be sure to check out Claudia in "New Zealand Spy" and if you're in the US or even other places be sure to check out Claudia and Vanessa in John Early's new film…
