News and Happenings

We’re officially kicking off Auntie’s Book Club with the queen of endorphin dressing herself, Tabitha Brown. Tabitha shares all the new things she tried, and learned, through writing her latest book “I Did a New Thing: 30 Days to Living Free.” That includes four little words that are blowing Ku and Su’s minds. Then, SuChin and Tabitha add to cart talking about a transformation that’s come knocking on their doors.

SuChin’s dream guests have finally landed on the pod. The Aunties are joined by Lindsey Weber and Bobby Finger of Who? Weekly. They have carts that are all about the journey rather than the destination. Lindsey shares why it’s embarrassing to have a smartwatch die in public. Bobby is coveting a gold spoon that is perpetually out of stock. And Su talks about how she loosens “tight” bubbles in sparkling drinks.

During this season of love, we’re showering our Galentines with presents the Lauren Lapkus way. Whether your bestie is on the go or unwinding at home, there’s something in Lauren’s cart for her. Plus, the Aunties and Lauren share their takes on the infamous Stanley Cups, how much talking is too much at Trader Joe’s, and beta blockers. This is what true female friendships are made of.

In our second installment of Borrowed Carts, the aunties are talking about some of their favorite products inspired by all the wonderful guests of the pod. From the snuggliest pillow, to mind-blowing flavored coffee, plus the perfect hair oil and more, these products are truly gamechangers.

New year, same aunties. Like every year, Ku and Su are sitting down to reflect on what they want to bring with them into 2024 and what they’re saying goodbye to. Ku explains why she’s in her middle-fingers-up era of fashion. Afterward, Su drops a secret she’s been keeping from the team for months. Plus, some difficult but loving conversations about loss and trauma.

The planets are aligned and the stars are smiling down on us, because Jada Pinkett Smith is gracing the show this week. The aunties are adding to cart Jada’s new memoir “Worthy,” which chronicles her journey of self-love and healing. In a deeply intimate conversation, the aunties share with Jada how they entered their own shadowlands and came out the other side. Later, they put the retail in therapy with Jada’s cart from the holiday season. She’s got Willow Smith-approved speakers and a fantastic Christmas sock collection.

We’re keeping this party going! This week, even more guests show up on our doorstep. SuChin’s love Mike Bender has two very sophisticated books for the kiddos. Laura Izumikawa shows the aunties how she can nap anywhere, anytime. And our resident futurist Caissie St. Onge returns from two years in the future, and she’s brewing up something that will change how you clean and do skincare. Come for the martinis, stay for the mistletoe and magic!

Pop open the champagne and grab a cocktail weenie because it’s an Add to Cart holiday party! We’re opening a revolving door to friends of the pod, who come bearing gifts. Danielle Schneider shares her presents that are perfect for just about anyone. Device Detective Deanna Cheng has a shiny new gadget that will change your life (or at least your chores). Finally, Bridger Winegar brings the gift of nostalgia. Don’t forget to grab some warm nuts on your way out!

The extreme-to-some Christmas decorating plans of Kulap and friends are moving from the groupchat to the roundtable. June Diane Raphael, Jessica St. Clair and Casey Wilson are here to talk about how they’re maximizing cozy Christmas time. SuChin, meanwhile, is hanging on by an email thread but ready to learn. Everyone has a tree (or three, or eight) to talk about, and they’re keeping score. Regardless, it’s a celebration of #TreeTime in all of its many beautiful forms.

Santa Paul Scheer is here to put us in the prime Christmas mood! He’s got a sleigh full of tech, health and pop culture presents to elevate your gifting for the most discerning names on your list. “Paul’s Plunges” is your guide to dipping your toes (or your whole body) into the cold plunge trend. Whether it’s hot reads, plush blankets, fresh pickleball fits or his signature nerdy stocking stuffers, Santa Paul is bringing the Christmas Day joy.
