Bad Advice: Let Them Eat Cake
04/07/25 • 27 min
This week on our biweekly episode of The Punching Judys: Bad Advice, our hosts tackle two delightfully messy dilemmas! First up: a bride-to-be is watching her dream wedding crumble faster than a poorly constructed fondant cake as her mother-in-law and sister-in-law hijack everything from the guest list to the cake flavor!! Will our hosts suggest she elope? Fake her own kidnapping? Or just start a full-blown cake war? Tune in to find out!
Then, we meet a well-meaning but clueless husband who broke the ultimate marital pact—he binged The Great British Bake Off, without his wife! Now, he’s knee-deep in soggy-bottomed lies and Paul Hollywood-level guilt. Should he grovel? Fake amnesia? Or just bake her a really good Victoria sponge as a peace offering? You’ll laugh, you’ll cringe, and you might even pick up some terrible life tips to avoid along the way!

Crazy For UK!
Hold onto your crumpets, darlings—this week, The Punching Judys are going full Brit-mode! 🇬🇧☕ After discovering that over half their audio podcast listeners hail from the UK, the girls break out into a joyous (and possibly off-key) rendition of Rule Britannia. Between raising imaginary pints and attempting posh accents, the Judys shower their UK fans with love, proving that laughter truly knows no borders.
In Favorite Things the gals dive into the gloriously campy world of Madam’s Place, the 1980s sitcom starring Waylon Flowers and Madame—because nothing says “iconic” like shoulder pads and sassy one-liners. 🎭 Could a reboot be in the works? (The Judys volunteer as tribute.) Then, in Miscellaneous, things get deliciously chaotic as they recap a recent pizza parlor escapade, debating the merits of controversial toppings (looking at you, pineapple warriors 🍕🍍) and a mind-bending trip to Seattle’s Museum of Pop Art. Was it high culture or just an excuse to take silly selfies with genius works of Keith Haring? Why not both?
But wait—there’s a plot twist! Ruby used to hang out with Ms. Pak-Man, tune in for the deets!!! On another note, our beloved Louvel is taking a brief hiatus for some “spa time” (aka surgery—send healing vibes!), so Seattle’s queen of all things Bacon, Sylvia O’Stayformore, is stepping into the hosting hot seat. Will there be glitter bombs? Unplanned karaoke? A dramatic reading of Yelp reviews? Only time will tell. One thing’s for sure: This episode is packed with laughs, nostalgia, and enough British charm to make the Royal Guard crack a smile.

Judyz with a Z
This week on The Punching Judys, the ladies dive into the glitz, glamour, and raw honesty of Liza Minnelli’s captivating new documentary LIZA: A Truly Terrific Absolutely True Story, with their signature blend of wit and warmth, the Judys unpack Minnelli’s legendary career, her triumphs, struggles, and the indomitable spirit that made her an icon. Whether gushing over her show-stopping performances or reflecting on the personal battles behind the spotlight, the conversation is as heartfelt as it is hilarious—because if anyone understands the highs and lows of a life in entertainment, it’s the Judys.
Then, in true Judy fashion, the tone shifts from poignant to playful as they tackle Miss Ruby’s infamous verbal crutch: “Hey, listen!” Is it a charming quirk, or a full-blown catchphrase? The debate is on, with plenty of good-natured ribbing and exaggerated impressions. But things really heat up when Miss Ruby drops the bombshell that she’s heading to Utah to see Hans again. Louvel, ever the instigator, raises an eyebrow and suggests there might be some monkey business afoot—prompting Miss Ruby to snap back, “Hey, listen! We are playing it by ear... ” Cue the dramatic gasps and knowing smirks. Will Miss Ruby finally kick her verbal habit? Will Louvel ever stop stirring the pot? And just what (or who) is waiting for Ruby in Utah? Tune in for laughs, love, and just a touch of scandal—because the Judys wouldn’t have it any other way!
