It’s Episode 3 of Season 2, and we’re excited to host our first guest, Clod’s younger sister: Lorna. The episode, which we’re calling The Only Normal Child because that’s how Clod’s father – who was dead serious – once referred to Lorna in the his 70s diary. Clod and Aunt Lorna reminisce about working together, sometimes dating the same boys, a little sibling rivalry and the fun they had...

In Episode Two of Season 2, Clod and I have a funny, “spirited” discussion about our encounters with psychics, hypnotists, and homemade Ouija boards. Clod tells a wild college tale she’d completely forgotten until she found it in her diary, and I tell some crazy spirit-related tales, too, including one which explains my fear of people named Paul.

A 70s note left on the bathroom mirror sets the stage for some of what has gone awry in Clod’s life – and spilled over into mine. Clod shares wacky advice from her mother, her dermatologist, and even an upscale neighbor hosting a yard sale.

Clod once got so desperate for a makeover that she wrote to Oprah. This was no ordinary makeover request – Clod wanted Oprah to help overhaul her athletic abilities – and she tried mightily to convince the TV host that many other closet klutzes would identify with – and appreciate – a klutz makeover episode. After this, I almost give Clod a heart attack as I describe my amateur film debut and a prom like no other.

07/12/23 • 54 min

Clod is an accident waiting to happen. Sometimes she’s an accidental liar; sometimes an accidental thief, an accidental bad mother, or even an accidental terrorist, the list goes on. In this episode, we discuss classic Clod moments of accidental chaos. And for those of you lucky enough to actually know my mother, a foreshadowing word of advice: If you want to avoid the Heimlich maneuver, don’t linger in Clod’s presence.

Before YELP, before Twitter, before the digital age, Clod sat down at her baby blue Corona electric typewriter and pounded out letters to companies whose products had failed her in some way. As if that’s not weird enough, she saved copies of these letters, as well as the responses (written by some poor intern, I’m sure). In this episode I cold-read Clod’s ridiculous letters and we dissect what in the world she was thinking when she penned all this foolishness.

“Your Time Has Expired ” the automated voice chimed as Clod and Hilary left the condominium. Overdue for a podcast, they took the voice as a sign, ditched their beach walking plans, found a picnic table, and pondered life’s great mysteries.
