what gives: confetti eggs, octogenarians, Joshua Tree, and giant puppets
2025-04-26
In this week’s episode, Katie and Julia discuss what Easter and the Easter Bunny mean to them (TL;DR — not much) and whether hot streetwear looks can actually make you run faster. They share some summer music trend forecasts and test out a new bonus segment called “wild-stuff-our-moms-said-this-week.”
In what was giving, Katie shows her parents the sights and sounds of Joshua Tree and is tempted to order a $1,000 omelette in Palm Springs. Julia contemplates communal living after visiting the Schindler House, and her contempt for group hate is tested as Blue Origin takes Katy Perry into space.
Featuring octogenarians, wind turbines, giant puppets, and a strong aversion to steampunk.
An aside: Katie realizes that space tourism — while controversial — may be the ultimate “what gives…”
