This episode features Ireland as a silent third host. We read St. Patrick’s day short stories we’ve written, inspired by the Emerald Isle herself, and are generally pale and freckled. We show unbelievable restraint with accents, mostly deployed to mock the English. And, as always, we catch up on recent culture and content consumption, including the Traitors finale, Bridgerton part two, Square Waves by Alexandra Romanoff, and School Spirits season 3.

First of all, head to YouTube to see Molly’s latest hat. She may be auditioning for the next season of White Lotus, or the next adaptation of Clueless. This week, we clock in on various casting announcements, including Beach Read and Every Year After. We also roast the hairstyling on Traitors and a troubling trend we’re noticing at boutique fitness classes. Finally, we workshop passages from our drafts and try to find the magic of Christmas.

Get ready to get your Heights Wuthered— we’re talking book AND movie. We’re also engaging in an experiential interpretation of the novel by being insane and finding romance on this, the 200th day of winter. Spoiler, Molly’s “most romantic” this week is a stranger reminding her to buckle her seatbelt. We also talk about Reality Check: Inside America’s Next Top Model, Pillion, Rob Rausch, and Claire’s forever valentine.
