  • Meh

    As a wildly representative of what you get after Holly’s exit, April 2026 featured three chronically underemployed, MAGA-leaning podcasters offering thoughts on (others’) retirements. Kelly is harmless. The others need to look beyond the lies and venom feeding their contentment. See a doctor. Turn off RFK Junior. You’ll understand obesity and stomach issues 🙏

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Prom Queens, Pyramid Scenes & Holiday Weekends
Q: Is pyramid planning as lengthy as you remember, and what happens during those hours?
Yes, it can take five hours or more of production and Abby discussing placements, with back-and-forth about who stands where, which often ends with multiple takes and delays before the pyramid is finally set.
Dance Moms: Did We Raise a Generation?
Q: Hi, my name is Julia, and I'm a huge fan of Dance Moms. My question is, when the girls went to their Dance Moms competitions, did they only compete routines for Dance Moms, or did they also compete other routines that weren't filmed for the show?
mostly it was just for Dance Moms with three or four routines, but occasionally Abby would want to add an extra number that wasn't shown on the show, and occasionally guest students from their home studios would perform if it involved a group number.
Impulse Buys, Life Advice & Wisdom Teeth Woes
Q: How did you budget in your 20s when money was tight, and what should a young adult prioritize to still have a social life and save for the future?
Focus on small, consistent saving, leverage employer-sponsored plans when available, and avoid lifestyle inflation by budgeting weekly for essentials, while carving out a little discretionary spend for social life to stay motivated.
Impulse Buys, Life Advice & Wisdom Teeth Woes
Q: What is your favorite mom hack, and what grown-up advice would you give to someone starting their adult life?
The moms suggest practical organizing and budgeting strategies: set up envelopes for different spending categories, keep job and finances stable before major life steps, and prioritize experiences and self-care within a financial plan.
She Dances: A Love Letter to Dancers Everywhere (Steve Zahn Joins Melissa & Kelly)
Q: Hi moms. My name is Julia. I'm from Miami and I'm curious how the competitions backstage and judging actually work.
Kelly explains that younger or less storyline-heavy dancers like Brooke often had solos that weren't shown because there wasn't a strong conflict arc in those storylines, while more competitive peers like Maddie and Chloe dominated the focus; backstage dynamics and the TV-friendly edits were crafted to create engaging TV while remaining true to the performances.
