About this episode

This week is all about fangirling! Jodi is joined by Sophia Benoit to first fangirl over Ethan Slater (a.k.a. SpongeBob)’s ex-wife Dr. Lilly Jay’s personal essay in The Cut (1:40).

In honor of the holidays, they visit some Christmas Obsessions past and present, in the form of the iconic “Danita, it’s Christmas” video, the viral Beanie Baby Cookie, and Rihanna getting Mariah Carey to sign her boobs (58:18). Finally, they each share their personal obsessions for the week (1:06:55).
