What The Fuck Am I Doing about self care? In the final episode of Season 3, Maddie and Esbee dive headfirst into the vast and murky world of self care. They delve into the "Goopification" of the term, exploring how self care had become a laundry list of beautification and pampering techniques that don't necessarily deliver long-term results. And they explore the reality of their own approach to self care, which does occasionally include things like massages and hot baths, but more often than not is an exercise of boundary-setting and kindness for themselves in every single fact of their lives. As it turns out, self care isn't just another thing to check off the two hosts' never-ending to-do lists; rather it's a dialy practice that takes time, commitment, and grace.

What The Fuck Am I...EATING? At this time of year, we're eating pretty much everything — and talking about it, too. Sitting in the wake of a Thanksgiving feast and in anticipation of many Christmas and New Year's celebrations, it 'tis the season for lots and lots of eating. And as such, Maddie and Esbee discuss their relationships with this essential act. They talk about their personal histories with food and eating, and contrast those stories with their current relationships to food. They also bring back "Nacho Nashville" in this episode, with a 3-for-1 journey through three of Nashville's supposedly best — or are they? Listen to the end to find out.

Wait wait wait...What The Fuck JUST HAPPENED? In this episode, Esbee and Maddie pull an audible as they discuss politics again in light of the results of the 2024 election. Spoiler alert: Donald J. Trump was elected into the highest office again, making him not only #45, but also #47. The two discuss both their disbelief and their disappointment over the results and what that seems to mean about the "soul of our nation" (as #46, Joe Biden, liked to call it on the campaign trail). They also examine their fears over the future of our country, our children, and our democracy as we know it. Moreover, the two spend this episode processing the shock of what just happened because it just felt a little too raw to immediately delve into something as superfluous as home decor. In sum, they sort of feel like the name of their podcast has never been more appropriate.
