The Amanda Lepore of Podcasting
We chat a bit about downtown NYC doyennes from our era, especially Amanda Lepore and her distinctive lewks. Things heat up while we discuss Balenciaga's twin controversial recent ad campaigns, and no, Ye is not even involved in either of them. For our feature discussion, we evaluate new AI image...
-
Nutty Pudding vs Death Wins
Jen starts at 110% as she is urged to get up close to her mic. We have some serious discussion about the recent spate of US mass shootings but also consider whether Ian McKellen is a Shakespeare genius or hack. To get a fresh perspective on global affairs, Kim recommends the wild Chinese anti-US...

What Happens in Euro Discos
After a preamble on Camilo's nose "job", we enjoy Kim's tale of visiting the Mount Gay Rum distillery in Barbados. A discussion on Iran's prolific homemade booze reveals the conflict between religious dogmatists and the country's freedom-loving youth. Our segment focuses on Cindy Crawford hiring…

Floss Your Nostrils
Since it's another AM record, morning mucus takes center stage. We do a quick movie catch up with Jen extolling the sexy virtues of 1982's Cat People. After quizzing ourselves on the Wonders of the Ancient World, Kim & Camilo reminisce about their great Halloween costumes of yore while Jen...
-
’Blonde’ and the ’Bros’ Woes
Another half-baked one but not really! On the eve of Camilo's departure for his beloved homeland, Espania, we talk about the massive flop that is 'Bros' and if homosexuals were obligated to go and see Billy Eichner's rom-com. Kim schools us on currency and Jen admits she loved the much-maligned...
-
Donate your Sexy Ass Organs
Join Kim and Camilo while Jen pursues stardom. After discussing whether the 'reverse cowboy' is even a thing, we encourage everyone to give up their organs (preferably upon your demise). Kim expounds on animals consuming their owners after they die (the owners, not the animals) and a lab in the...

Online Datin’ Hatin’
It's a morning record!! We discuss Venmo social media stalking, parents opening college credit cards and British council estate drama. There's talk about the metaverse, dating the traditional way e.g. yentas and matchmakers, and online dating for those who are using apps and need to check out…

Google Alert for Vaginal Eggs
The agony of celebrity is real– noted fake Spaniard Hilaria Baldwin unable to remember the obscure English word 'cucumber', supermodel Paulina Porizkova bemoaning her unfair inheritance and (ok, not actually famous but internet famous) Bath & Body Works Karen not getting the candles she feels she...
-
Should I Break Up with my Therapist?
Yes, it's another halfsie. Yes, it's still terrific. We're feeling assertive because we're empowered by therapy. Even though no one gave us any good advice in the 80s, we're now doling it out whether solicited or not. Jen is admonishing smoking college students, Kim is mentoring wayward young...
-
Angsty Fall Energy
Another two hander, this time with Kim & Camilo. We try to make up for Jen's horribly bungled intro last week, throwing her under the bus since she's not here. Camilo asks Kim if Barbados' recent swearing off of the monarchy is what finally did Queen Elizabeth in. We discuss art collecting, even…
more -
She’s a Word that Rhymes with ’Hunt’
Kim's 'under the weather' (HIPAA violation alert) so Jen & Camilo hold the fort with the extremely banal pop culture subjects, but guess what – they make it sparkle! Under the microscope are Lea Michele's controversial return to B'way, the Don't Worry Darling film premiere drama and whatever...

Check for Ho Notes
Sip some absinthe to fully enjoy this episode. X-Tina's and Julia Fox's provocative outfits get us started, and we move on to suburban doorbell cams and accidental fentanyl. We discuss Sally Field's pioneering role as a multiple personality disorder sufferer and also as an iconic award receiver....

Horny Toilets
Kim's traveling so Camilo & Jen tackle our horny listeners without her. We discuss aggro librarians, Maggie Haberman's knowledge of Mar-A-Lago's toilets, and the sadness of Anne Heche's crash. Our feature discussion is about religious LARPing, whether it involves the LDS recent sexual abuse...
-
Fish Dinner with Hands
Kim is fasting so any mention of food is verboten. Camilo wonders if she’s starting a cult, which leads to a discussion on the sex lives of cults. We are of course pundits so we make 2022/2024 election predictions, with Jen decrying the political gerontocracy. Camilo prods everyone for their...
-
The Moistest Podcast
Another two-hander Half-Baked episode as Jen is shooting a film! Kim and Camilo run the topic gamut, from deflecting a Marie Kondo lawsuit to geriatric fatherhood. We reluctantly ponder Elon Musk's shirtless photos and Kim educates Camilo on Bajan stank face. Dining in shorts, fishmongers, sassy...
-
Hot Girl Walks and Emu Squawks
This heat wave has Jen almost igniting a historic quad while Kim & Camilo share their square dancing youth – and how we all crave dancing whether on a cruise ship, at a secret rave or in a Bulgarian club. Camilo extols the victory of emus over Australian forces, Kim believes Beyoncé's forbidden...
-
Carpe Dick’em
This is our sexxxy ep, with personal revelations about our youthful indiscretions that will have our mothers gasping. But we also cover essential topics such as Jen's balls, whether improv is just as good as therapy and if monkeypox is the new HIV. When Kim disappears, we have a Madonna minute…

The Elite Purge
After a blatant HIPAA violation, we hear about Jen's mild COVID, Camilo's gnarly nasal passages and Kim's dud of a tropical storm. We have some marketable ideas for The Purge or Squid Game sequels – throw the elites in there! We do a takedown of Restaurant Week and its attendant mediocre if not...
-
All the Gay Divorces
Another Halfsie episode that's just as juicy as a 'Regular.' We discuss children's too-fast growth (vis a vis our aging insecurities) and whether babysitters should ask for feedback on their burlesque acts to their charges. Are 'commitment ceremonies' a thing, or is it best to get gay married –…
more -
My Octopus Lover
In this very chill Halfsie episode, we dig deeper (climb further???) into The Staircase, which leads us to a discussion about death stairs – think no risers or banisters – and Jen gets bleeped because she's a spoilerater. Wait, are we now a true crime podcast poised to conquer the airwaves? No…
more -
Summer with the Michelles & Lamonts
A summer vibe permeates this sunny episode as we introduce a new nostalgia segment, but don't worry, it's not all rose-tinted memories – expect long car rides with gaseous relatives, aunts pulling at each others' hairs and completely unsupervised teen visits to European nightclubs. Oh, and please...

You Don’t Have to Choke a B
Ok we did it – a TRUE Half-Baked There two-hander with only Jen and Camilo, with Kim busy stopping that asteroid from crashing against Earth or whatever. A very movie-focused discussion, with lots of love for Merchant Ivory costume dramas like A Room With A View and Howards End. We eulogize Ray...

This One’s a Doozy!
The temperature is WAY UP on this one as a Half-Baked There extends to a full hour in the oven at 450 degrees as we discuss what the hell is going on in the US of A. But don't worry, we also have boner innuendos, ponder what vegetable we think we are, talk about swimming with Orthodox Jewish…
more -
We’re Generally Desiccating
Ok, so we're falling apart– Jen has vision loss, Kim is mysteriously itchy and Camilo... is perfect until his doctor tells him otherwise in a couple of weeks. We discuss very not-of-the-moment media such as The Purge, Fargo season 4 and Squid Games, and we have very hot takes that may have cooled...
-
Sexy Serfs
Jen's back full steam to let us know the kids are obsessing over medieval life, like it was an earthly paradise compared to now because peasants may have only worked 3 hours a day. Sure, and they went to Cabo for long weekends (HINT: we are highly skeptical). In the witty, wide-ranging…
more -
Sitting on the Laps of Clowns
On this very special Half Baked There episode, Kim & Camilo do a two-hander while Jen traipses around NYC. We discuss which city has the claim to City of Broken Dreams (NYC or LA ), we ponder whether 'gerbling' is actually a thing, and discuss the horrors of old-timey animal and clown costumes.…

We Get Probed by a Listener
After our usual high quality banter, we sit down for some thought-provoking questions from one of our top listeners, Jordan T. We talk about annoying habits of today's youths, trends from our day that we may –or may not– want to see resurface, whether we are actually becoming our parents and…

Half Baked There: The Slapgate Edition
Join us for a very special episode dedicated to what everyone was talking about at the end of March 2022 – the Oscars' slap.

The Internet Is Basically a Lunch Room
Hey Halfsies! We run the gamut this week, from gender dysphoria to social media echo chambers and from eating organ meat to the return of thongs. In pop culture, we cover Kanye's mental health and Ryan Coogler's bizarre arrest. As for the kids? Well, some of the boys are looking up to…

Keep it pickled!

Parade of Creepazoids
Lots of creeps come up in this episode, but as always we handle the subject with the research, seriousness and aplo– pffff who are we kidding. We are Gen X after all. Con artist to the wealthy Anna Delvey (and the hot Irish Communist that wanted a donation from Jen) are the only ones we vaguely...

The Coffin & The Casket
This is a spicy one–there's even bleeped out stuff! Things get hotter and hotter after we hear about Jen's massage and neighborhood snobbery. Animated discussion between Kim & Jen about the 'Trump' vaccine has Camilo fanning himself, but don't worry, it's all among fast friends. Camilo tries to...

Micro-dose on this!
Once again into the potato-verse, this time because we are racing against the clock of Jen's slowly baking potatoes. Once they're ready, she's gonna be out! Camilo and Kim are shocked to learn that kids these days are regressing, shunning emojis and listening to Huey Lewis and the News. And Jen...
