Berlant & Novak

***In celebration of the re-release of the Lychee Martini gummies from Rose Delights, we're putting out a never-before-heard episode, recorded at Jar a year ago.***

What is the origin of the flask? Ca…

Doctoring a clock. Every day is an inside joke. What good is a dead HiZoo? Sexless UV hats. Deva Curl’s hand sucking eroticism out of the head. Sturm caved, you’re next. Rerouting the smock to a safe…

Walking around like a mouthguard cooling into position. Prostrating before nature, bulking the facial muscles, and making money in the rock climbing position. There’s no WiFi in the Scottish caves. A…

Grumpy on a plane, the wheels retract like a stuck garage. Something off at the front desk and scared of an upgrade. The foot de-gloved. Over-ordering in a new town. Take the comforts where and when …

The only thing worse than a bad show is a good show. The facts are the facts. The king leaves less floor room. Incoming hotel room calls. Ceremonial piss. Moved by soft technology. Attractive words. …

Midnight birthday wish and the somber passage into a new day. Ojai as a Spiritual Vortex where an absence of Airbnbs proves relevant to transcendence. A light champagne pour, to sing for another tabl…

Journal around the neck. Two wet lips on the cheeks. God, Coca-Cola, Titanic, Titan Submersible. Thrown from a desk twice. Two seconds of terror. Mangled loosely in the chair. Rivers of time. Manifes…

The glory of a thin book. A wild outsider. The cruelty to our mothers. Cryptic texting. Ironic consumption of dinosaurs. When I need you, you provide nothing? By the way, here they come. Chocolate so…

Careful you don’t get Max’d. Jumping on the ground to achieve a euphoric state. Tap, Tap, Tapping on the bones for strength. The sugar of the crowd, blood on the cave wall, and a spiritual logic. New…

The conduit burps continuously. Raising the liver. Feet tied at the bottom like a little bow. Lunch is an utter derailment. Hurting the hand while trying to move at the speed of one’s thinking. Huge …

Gonzo journalism. One sprig of parsley on every plane meal. Panic clouding the mind. The smell of the subway. Manifesting the illness, manifesting the solution. Hubris and negligence. A high self-dia…

Scrolling during sex. The novelty of rice and pasta in a drawer. The four-hour facial. Old writerly Novak reemerges. Tits or gossip for a mere fifty bucks. Maintaining mood across centuries. A bespok…

Is this thing on? Sifting through comments. How to make a dog from white rice. Eyes on the road, for once. Anxiety dissolves into freedom. Fun to buy or fun to own? Clear-headed about the paranormal.…

Our ancestors stood on rocks. Who wants to be our guinea pig? Forgetting within minutes about owning it.Food as a palliative. Fantasies about mechanical automation. Wildly signing up for services see…

Button up, button down. The one traveling woman in the world. Is warrior the hardest pose? Submit to waiting. The name is a word. Kate gets on better terms with London food. Unfiltered Roman amaro. B…

The first cup of coffee is a doorway. Illegal tomato gallery in the fridge. Take the safety rails off the fidget spinner. Abandonment of the future self. There's no such thing as a dread-free artist.…

The hippocampus 'delible after all? When there is no hack, just get it from the beet.  A glorious return policy, shadows on the face, and melting suede coat. Another appointment booked. Accessing hyp…

JN’s back in the states but still living out of her European suitcase. Kate’s new cocktail.  A spiritual vapor, a bruised martini, a lemon tryst, and an evening prayer.  Dilution is key after JN spen…

Maintenance—it's not for all of us. The shock of girls being so messy. Can a nut milk ever be creamy? Kate's sudden interest in whole milk. The shape of the word despair. Intentionality visible in a …

Both hags are stateside. Jacqueline comes at you from her childhood home. Kate shares her neurologist’s three pieces of parting advice. Something’s special is happening in a jar of non-organic Almond…
