Kyle is out of town, so it's just Karen and her extraordinary guest, Julia Scotti.

Thanks to America's Got Talent and a beautiful documentary, many of our listeners may be familiar with this A-list trans comedian.

Karen has a million questions about her experience, and Julia is generous in her answers. Please forward this one to your friends.

Carla delights Karen and Kyle with a zillion stories about working with stars. Yes, she was just in this mega Ariana video, but she also did serious theater with Kelly McGillis.

Kelly, if you are listening, Carla wants to reconnect. Her kids have been working since they were infants, and Carla sounds like the perfect stage mother. She's more Maria von Trapp than Kris Jenner.

Do NOT miss the worst mom of the week. We promise she is better than her kid.

Karen and Kyle chat with superstar Brian Kiley as he gears up for his Middle Eastern tour.

We start the episode like grown-ups, discussing Brian’s origin story and the proper pronunciation of Qatar. However, things quickly go off the rails as soon as we touch on cannibalism.

But the discussion about the nude beach at the end of the show is one for the record books.

Kerri Louise is back. Her twins are going to be seniors in college, but they’ve already built a man cave back home, and you’ll never guess where it is. The moms have A LOT to say about prom fashion. Worst mom is America’s most notorious puppy murderer. Stay For the last story —it’s insane.

Nepotism reigns as we welcome fitness enthusiast, creative artist, and aspiring journalist, Maya Ocasio. Even though she is Kyle's daughter, she has brutally honest about weed, the boundary between friend and parent, and she even has advice on how you can talk to YOUR kids! Straight wisdom from an 18 year old-Maya opens up about her thoughts on Wilderness therapy ("hell, but you learn some stuff"). We all conclude that the the Miss USA pageant is deranged and chime in on Karen's worst mom who makes us all want to vomit. Listen up! -this episode may teach you more than you thought you could learn! If you listen with kids, know that we swear.

Kyle is on the road so Karen is joined by fan-favorite journalist Carrie Shane. Carrie gives an update on her gaslighting ex and you won't believe what it is!! She fiercely advocates for the return of the shoe horn Karen hates brunch. Our worst mom is a no-brainer.
