Hi y'all.
Firstly, this episode is dedicated to the memory of our beloved Sundance. Thrilled that she figures so prominently in this taping.
Secondly, this is the last planned episode of this podcast. In 2016 we were just two former roommates living in different states and wanting a project to take on together. You stuck in there with us through countless issues as we taught ourselves how to do this on our own. Let's not lie, it was all Leslie teaching herself and that attempting to pass that on to Erin. (You get two guesses as to who is writing this!) This podcast eventually moved to a bi-coastal affair and you hung in there with us through so many life changes and years. We are astounded you tuned in to hear us carry on about everything...really to entertain ourselves. Soap boxes and inside jokes and all. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. You made this even more fun than we every could have imagined.
As we come to the close of this project we ask you all to please take care of yourselves and each other. Just like Julia, Mary Jo, Charlene, Suzanne, Carlene, Anthony and Bernice would. Okay...maybe not Bernice.
Thank you for listening. Byyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyye.

Bette Davis is incredible in All About Eve, the inspiration for this episode. Not to be confused, as Erin did momentarily, with Joanne Woodward's Oscar-Winning Three Faces of Eve.
This episode was on Fire!
Bernice was Bernicing the phones.
The hair was epic.
Allison and Carlene were at odds.
And Julia invoked Bette
It had everything.

If you do not feel like falling in love with Norway and watching The Trollhunter, at least watch the trailer so that you can appreciate how ridiculous it was for Erin to ask Leslie if it was really found footage. It’s more fun going into films with no knowledge, right?
Eli is currently available and Netflix and recommended by both Leslie and Erin. More about Erin’s movie podcast, where she watched it and other movies, to come.
If you didn’t pull up William Morgan Sheppard’s imdb, aka the Grandfather of Geeks, here it is!

The Good Place Podcast has a very lovely “What’s Good” segment and is hosted by the even lovelier Mark Evan Jackson. All three seasons of The Good Place are streaming on Netflix now so DO NOT LISTEN until you have at least seen the first season!
Alone or “Little Mountain Men” as Erin apparently calls it during season 1 will teach you about survival and the human spirit!

Guess WHAT you can now watch all seasons of Designing Women on Hulu! It’s HAPPENED.
Erin’s boss gave her this Mini Zen Garden Labyrinth for completing 2 years and 8 units worth of pastoral education as a Chaplain resident. (The equivalent of a Masters! Now she has 2!)
In season 6, episode 9 of Friends “The One Where Ross Got High” Rachel makes a half english trifle/half shepherds pie and then when Joey actually likes it...that’s one of Erin’s favorite tv jokes ever. It was similar to the taco/cake situation from graduation leftovers.
Again, go see a UCB Theatre show. Erin has seen a bunch now. It was an absolute thrill when Matt Walsh showed up. She loves it when Jason Mantzoukas makes winks about characters he has played such as Rafi’s pocket dogs on The League, which is also on Hulu!

Yes Erin had to BLAST music and drive for a bit after a tough day at work. Particularly the Girl Talk album Feed the Animals. Here is a youtube video of driving Wilshire Blvd at night because apparently that’s something available on the internet.
Sun Bum is a cruelty free, gluten free, vegan and reef friendly as well as paraben and sulfate free line of products for your whole life in the sun but Erin particularly loves their sunscreens! Plus their tagline is “Trust the Bum” and who doesn’t love that?
The Summit Bum is made by Thrupack and probably tangible proof that Erin is “so LA” sometimes. But the bag really is made for hikers and has some ingenuity in the design to make it easy to carry. Do you have a fanny pack/bum bag? Are you in our Wolfgang?
Playing House was a USA show staring Lennon Parham and Jessica St. Clair about two childhood friends that always kept in touch and find themselves living together. It has SO much heart, and yay Lady Friendships, and genuinely relatable comedy.
Erin’s gonna be on soap boxes next week like...

Erin saw a taping of the comedy podcast How Did This Get Made in Los Angeles with Paul Scheer, June Diane Raphael, and Jason Mantzoukas.
She’s been rewatching some of the trio’s work including: The League, Brooklyn 99, Big Mouth and also recommends Fresh Off the Boat, Grace and Frankie, and Burning Love.
“Friend” of the show Aziz Ansari has a new netflix special called Right Now. It is very different from his previous specials and addresses important topics around his image, mistakes, and will still make you laugh. Go Aziz!
The library Erin’s friend was talking about is White House Public Library in White House, Tennessee. They have amazing programs. Please support your local and national libraries!
