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 software, which can turn you into the fairy queen of …

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 propaganda action film Wolf Warrior II. Today's topic…

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 a midlife coach, leading us to explore what kind of w…

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 remembers being... 'Turtle Girl'. This episode's main topic…

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 'Blonde'. And all three of us try to remember if there…

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 desert that studies what that looks like. After some t…

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 their dating power dynamics. We get scientists' perspect…

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 deserves. We discuss generational entitlement, hurri…

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 professionals and Camilo is maybe getting dumped by his …

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 if the art is... ummm... not fit for parental consump…

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 happened to Zac Efron's face. And please kindly donate to…

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. Our main topic is weight training to keep that shit t…

Cute dog squeaks from Jen’s darling pup dot our animated discussion about dating young. Kim shares her experiences in TX and NY after the chill of Barbados, with a thoughtful discussion about gun ownership and U.S. gun violence. The Bennifer wedding provides a banal respite before Camilo dives into love in the metaverse. And please kindly donate to…

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 accusations or liberals suddenly deciding to go Catholic. …

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 earliest social media memories, but what Jen wants to tal…

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 waitstaff and indifferent delivery drivers come up to…

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 images should stand as points of pride and everyone ag…

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 but not before we discuss the timely Weiner/Abedin sex …

Welcome to the new 'diddle' age! We got dibs on the totes sus sitch on this ep, where we discuss creepy predators and lesbian pirates. Jen's thinning out Gen Z with compromised grilling ingredients, Camilo is buying into The Four Agreements and Kim thinks that narcissism is the latest self-diagnosed fad. In our feature segment, we discuss this gene…

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 downright contemptuous service, food quality and porti…

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 – and divorce 2+ times? Plus, the Vanderbilts and the Ro…

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, we move on to octopus stuff – and yes, Camilo knows th…

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 kindly donate to our Patreon for cool extras!!! http…

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 Liotta and do not eulogize terrible gay movies from th…

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 women, deride gym grunting & try not to think about sexua…

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 to tepid due to the age of the programming under con…

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 discussion, highlights include Camilo getting accused of not un…

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. Kim reveals her childhood attack on a disturbing clown…

Camilo comes back from Omaha with a terrible "cowboy" accent, Jen tells us about the no-good, very terrible Libs of Tik Tok account and Kim lets Camilo know that he can go from a 6.5 to a 10 with Instagram filters. In her extended segment, Kim covers possible crimes of the future, many of which are already happening, including creeping around with …

Today we absolutely blow the roof off of the cringe meter with our discussion about the article that melted the internet: a Brooklyn father has wayyyyy too candid conversations with his son about masturbation – major penis-related discussion warning! More or less staying on theme, we also discuss this week's other talk of the town, Tucker Carlson's…

Camilo and "Pym" have a run-in with the now-dubbed 'Loose Park Lolitas' and it could have gone better. This triggers a conversation with Kim & Jen about the – how to put it – more sensitive among Gen Z. Kim claps back at someone calling out her G'n'R tee, and Jen gets in fights with strangers. However, her eyes glaze over once we start discussing t…

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 myths about aging that we find are actually not true. And…

Join us for a very special episode dedicated to what everyone was talking about at the end of March 2022 – the Oscars' slap. Yes, everyone seems to have a take on this, but trust us, ours is the best one out there, 98% of dentists agree. Do we approve or do we frown upon it? Do we thinks it slaps or do we smack it down? Ok, that's enough. Oh, and p…

Camilo destroys his voice right off the bat trying to imitate a death metal singer, Jen bemoans her empty "box" and Kim tells us about the con artist that got a free meal out of her and almost gave her COVID. Jen shares a think piece about the death of intimacy, and we discuss whether the culture of consent is obliterating the concept of casual sex…

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 bodybuilders on TikTok and Instagram and trying to emulate them …

This week we introduce Half-Baked There (® ™ ™ ® ® ™ ™ ®), a themeless episode that was supposed to be shorter but isn't. But that's ok because honestly it's hilarious – we talk about the grueling casting for Madonna's upcoming biopic, Ukraine v. Russia and how one of the casualties is Quebecois 'Poutine', the fillers in Putin's face, Spain's doubl…

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 admire, but we have no love for Ghislaine Maxwell – ho…

Once again, we unleash the Kraken (aka Jen) – no, not that one – with an, ahem, animated discussion about the recent disbursement of Afghanistan funds. Jen and Camilo encourage Kim to freely diagnose Britney and Kanye (everyone's doing it) and we revel in the warmth of old-timey memories, such as Nipplegate. Camilo is trying to launch a new conspir…

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 dress up a threadbare story about the return of partie…

Are you making a living selling farts in jars or teasing the masses on OnlyFans? Jen needs hot tips on how to get started. Kim reminisces about now mostly-defunct national restaurant chains that took residence on Times Square, and we all ponder who hurt food reviewer Pete Wells so much that he's compelled to write such scathing write-ups (Camilo st…

In this very special episode of Halfway There, our pal Jennifer Gordon Thomas bares it all about her experience with ovarian cancer and how it triggered early onset menopause. It's a tale of horrors but also perseverance, and because Jennifer has a terrific sense of humor about her trials and tribulations, it's also chock-full of laughs. Oh, and pl…

To Jen's profound dismay, in this episode Kim details how the superrich are purchasing residences aboard luxurious cruise ships that travel around the world in an endless loop. Jen is vowing to become a pirate but Camilo is already saving for his down payment. Speaking of the superrich, we discuss whether actors' plastic surgery detracts from their…

New Year, New Season!!! WHEEEEEE– Wait, is the first topic newfangled burial methods??? Are we obsessed with dying or something? Yup! We skim gingerly over placenta eating before Kim regales us with the woeful tale of the Schroedinger's Barbados Visitor 'Ted' – he's there yet impossible to pin down. BTW Jen needs a place to crash in NYC so hit her …

We start off with a bang discussing the controversy surrounding the new West Side Story and whether it should even exist. Then Camilo takes us on a wild ride inside the human body with the quickly developing field of nanobot medicine – little robots in your bloodstream fixing stuff, who doesn't want that?! Finally, Jen tries to convince us (well, m…

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 lets us know that even though everyone was locked indo…

All bets are off in our post-Thanksgiving episode (our 25th!!!), in which the tryptophan has worn off and all bets are also off.

Are you balls tingling in anticipation of this episode? Metaphorically, that is – we discuss peppermint soaps and alienating branding before Kim tries to figure out why getting a driver's license is no longer a rite of passage among the youth of America. Camilo gets curious about 'reducetarianism' – try saying that three times in a row – and Jen fo…

Do you know how to properly fold a newspaper to read on public transport? Wait– you read physical newspapers??? In this episode we discuss that plus spicy food and Hilaria Baldwin's Spanish 'persona'. We hear from Camilo on the Children's Panic of Halloween 2021 when the online game Roblox was shut down for 3 days, Jen talks about the dark side of …

Listen to us flashback to the glory days of clubbing in NYC and the totally cringey outfits we wore. We discuss celebrities for celebrity's sake from before the internet – think Amanda Lepore & Angelyne. Jen uncovers the tensions between Millennial employers and their Gen Z employees, Kim has a potato-related near-death experience, and Camilo previ…

In a thrilling turn of events, the normally demure Jen stands up to a Karen that is accusing her of stealing her guanciale. As if that wasn't thrilling enough, Kim takes us on a wild ride into #vanlife, Camilo smugly lets you know your hours at the gym are pointless and Jen uses her newfound confidence to single-handedly take down capitalism. As a …
