Show Notes

Wait a minute. It's our 300TH EPISODE, pardon me! We couldn't be more thankful to The Carriage House community for helping us reach this milestone. And we couldn't have a more delightful guest to celebrate the occasion. Joining us is none other than Justin Halpern!

Justin is a real mogul. Not only is he the award-winning co-showrunner and producer of ABBOTT ELEMENTARY on ABC, but he's also the author of several best-selling books. His latest book, GET LOST, is available for pre-order now, and it sounds like the perfect beach read for summer. Order it now!

Justin helps us give advice on how to handle an unwanted AI slop birthday gift and what to do when you want to break up with your therapist.

And a special thanks to our friends of The Carriage House who sent us their well wishes for 300 episodes! Casey, Drew, Gearóid, Michael, Justin, Kate, Adam, Richard, Robin, and Dickie.

Hello! Next week we've got our annual Halloween taste test episode with our dear friends Paul F. and Janie Haddad Tompkins. But in the midst of shoving sugar down our gullets, we got sidetracked with the Kelly Clarkson / Art of Play drama. We thought it would be fun to release that discussion in its entirety as a bonus sweet treat for your to savor. We have a LOT to say!

Terry Gross, eat your heart out. On this week's Free Feed, we're tan and ready to gab about a follow-up from the friend who was on the business end of a letter we received a few weeks ago.
