If you haven't voted yet, here's a calm, level-headed, equitable discussion of the two candidates and how their platforms differ so you can make an informed decision... NOT! Ha ha ha, can't help it, that's hilarious, I just had to write that. Snort! Anyway, the Disaster Prius strikes again, Amy went camping, foxes are cute, and Bay drank too much. Don't email her at work! Actually, you can totally email her at work, just don't...

You want notes? No. We have no notes. Here's an episode. We took a break from our lives to record an episode because we love you. But we didn't have time for notes. Did we mention we love you?

Other than a drought, we're all just waiting for Amy to get her cabin completely finished! Ask the neighbors! Ask the UPS man! Ask the mailman! Are we finished with Amy's cabin? Not yet!

Amy's besieged by happy family from across the ocean! Bay's beset by sudden basketball crazes! How much more can these glitzy girls take?!

FUNNY YOU SHOULD ASK.... because Bay never made it to Georgia. Amy and Nadia had lots of fun, but Bay caught bronchitis and stayed home. We talked about what Bay missed, and how nice it was to meet up in Chattanooga, and how great Bay's nails now look, but we didn't have our fun girls' weekend in Covington.

Bay needs a manicure, STAT! Wait, what she really needs is a good manicure. Sure, it's not rocket science; it ain't going to save the world; this isn't the straw that breaks Mueller's case's back, but it's important to *us*. Our nails need to look good! Also, Amy teaches Bay about Georgia history, and Bay cedes a Vocabulary Vixen session to Amy. Top Secret Tourist Tip of the Week with a Tip of the Hat to The Strip Podcast! Wha...

It's been a long time, and we're back with tales of Airbnb, the Eiffel Tower restaurant, Thanksgiving, New Year's Eve, watching all of Las Vegas' famous fireworks all at the same time, and more rambling and having fun and stuff like that.

Very darned hard! We even earn it when we're not trying to be filthy! So after the ELK HUNT, Yamy took her BITCH of a Frenchie to Louisville for the nationals... OK, that's all the filth I can think of today. Amy is fun! Bay can't wait to cook a turkey! Vespas and pajama pants and elections and drunken giggling! Is there a K-Pop store in your town?

After a nice break, we're back! We traveled a little, we shopped a little, we ate a little; we stood back and gazed in wonder at what teenagers can put away these days. (Were we ever like that? Don't answer that!) Did you win a billion bucks? Neither did we! But if we do, we're gonna be neighbors. Call us! 44-222-96269!

An extra dog!!! Yeah! Everyone loves an extra dog! Unless you're hosting Amy's former bulldog Lola, in which case, now you have to put up with your current French bulldog being kind of, well, passive aggressive. Just a little. Amy's houseguest sets off alarms! But only because Amy made him. And he won a poker tournament -- how much fun is that?! Bay saw fireworks, and we discuss how nice Knoxville is becoming, and there's just a we...

Oh, the trials and tribulations of owning a smart speaker! [From Amazon Prime, that is.] Amy fills us in on how her very well-spoken parrot is now communicating with the Matrix. What is AI, you ask? We don't know, but we hope Amy's credit card isn't connected! Amy's exchange student made it back to Denmark; the Vocabulary Vixen drops by, and there's a good bit of a Grits to Glitz pet update.

So much cake story deliciousness this episode, it should come with a high-calorie warning! Amy won a dessert contest with a beloved old family recipe! Bay isn't at all surprised!
