Casey Rose Wilson and Jessica St. Clair return to discuss an ever-present and often menacing part of our lives: small talk. They share some of the wisdom and insight from their new audio book, “The Art of Small Talk,” and try to convince SuChin to find the joy and playfulness in these everyday interactions. Learn how these two queens master the social chess match — and why “medium talk” might be the real enemy. Plus, their carts are full of rose-scented home goods and glowing skin.  Lemonada has teamed up with Apple Books to bring you the Lemonada Book Club. "The Art of Small Talk" by Casey Wilson and Jessica St. Clair is our audiobook of the month for the month of June! Listen here. We want to hear from you! Drop us a message on Speakpipe.

Dylan Thuras, co-founder of the travel company Atlas Obscura, has been to 30 countries. But even more impressive: he’s traveled internationally with his kids, and lived to tell the tale. Between SuChin’s family trip to South Korea and Kulap’s first plane ride with Eme, the Aunties are ready to soak up the wisdom – or at least, go into the dark together. They swap travel tips and carts, from the perfect kid-friendly headphones to a magical place where you can actually buy people’s unclaimed baggage.  We want to hear from you!

Geena shares her favorite thrifting spot in California, and they talk about how a spring roll or taco becomes “open-air” food. Plus, like all great Aunties, Geena snagged a great deal on a new beauty device she can’t wait to try.

It’s not Christmas yet, but Paul Scheer is gifting us with his cart and his new memoir, “Joyful Recollections of Trauma.” Paul sits down with the Aunties for a heart-to-heart like you’ve never heard before. They talk about his childhood, especially looking back as a parent of two, and how we learn to navigate relationships with our own parents into adulthood. It’s a conversation that shows laughter is not too far behind a good cry. Plus, as one third of How Did This Get Made?, Paul unpacks on co-host Jason Mantzoukas’ cube philosophy.  We want to hear from you! Drop us a message on Speakpipe.

Sheng tells the Aunties about his favorite ways to snack, including the peanut source he wants to gatekeep, and why he no longer has capacity for stuff.

Spring has sprung, and the Aunties want to feel the wind on their skin (moisturized and with SPF, of course). The Pak-Benders embarked on Van Life, which has been long in the making. The journey had its ups and downs, and SuChin is reflecting on lessons learned. Like, what does dinnertime look like for four people in a treehouse? Meanwhile, Kulap has been attending shows on shows, and talks about what that means for her after the pandemic and writer’s strike.  We want to hear from you! Drop us a message on Speakpipe.

You’re in a cult! You’re in a cult! We’re allll in a cult! Amanda Montell, host of Sounds Like A Cult and all-around smartest person, joins the Aunties this week. She talks about her new book “The Age of Magical Overthinking,” and dives into why we add more things into our life when the solution is to pare down (the call is coming inside the house!) But that won’t stop Amanda – or the Aunties – from collecting things that just scratch that itch. Like lemon bells, LED candlesticks and bike figurines that remind her of Amsterdam. To quote Taylor Swift: “I got a blank space, baby…” and I’ll fill it with knick knacks. We want to hear from you! Drop us a message on Speakpipe.
