There are many things I’ve gotten wrong in my life, but friends ain’t one of them. I am lucky and blessed to have several women whom I have known for years that I consider to be best friends. Today I was lucky enough to be on a Substack Live with two of them!Char Sundust joined me to cover for Dana DuBois, who, it turns out, completed her top secret mission early. Char and I started talking about our friendship and her work. Chat, I am here to tell you that she undersold the power of what she does

Dana DuBois and I were absolutely delighted to have Sacha Cohen from A Good Vintage on the show today, it soon became clear that if we lived closer, we’d be hanging out with her over long, lazy apéro afternoons! Sacha and her husband Jason are not expats—yet! They are taking slow and easy moves towards an expat life. The remarkably clever thing about this approach is that they get to live in various parts of France and experience the local culture along the way. Currently in Dijon, Sacha’s substack

2025/06/24

Sometimes our freeform days are the most fun; often they have some of the biggest news. Today was both, and a whole helping of kick in the pants, too.We started by debating the meaning of Trump’s on camera “fuck” at Israel and Iran. Is the world’s best negotiator all out of non-swear words?Furthermore—what is happening? Why is all of this unfolding the way it is, and why does it seem so…strange? Does nobody involved know what they’re doing? Or is there some overarching mysterious plot we’re all not

The Daily Whatever, June 23: Iran and Moms

The Daily Whatever ·

2025/06/23

I spent the past two days in a whirlwind of travel—like literal planes, trains, and automobiles—getting my child off to a pre-college camp and then driving all the way down the shaft of Florida to visit family.Disconnecting for a couple days can feel restorative. But in my hours offline, the US somehow managed to get embroiled in war. Because that’s where we are now as a country. And while the news is harrowing at best, it was great to catch up with Lawrence Winnerman today and hear his hot takes on

I always knew this day would come.As many of you know, I’m a west-coaster and a night owl. So a 7am daily podcast requires discipline as well as a loud alarm. Guess which one I forgot to set this morning?It was a delight to realize how much concern you all had for me—so many messages!—and a relief my amazing guests Walter Rhein and Frederic Poag were such good sports about it all. We still had a rowdy chat and such amazing conversation about all the fucked-up news of the week. Specifically, our

I’m going to sell my things and move my husband and adorable daughter to quasi-rural France and ride this shit out while drinking some lovely wine with a nice baguette and brie.”?I have! Many times! And I don’t even HAVE a husband and an adorable daughter!But Rich Kagan does, and he and his family have been in Carcassone, France (it’s not just a game! It’s a real place!)

It’s not everyday you get to connect with an old friend from highs school, but today we were lucky enough to do just that. Dana DuBois and I went to school with our guest, Gen-X Crisis with Robert Guess, and it was excellent to reconnect.We started off reviewing some breaking news: Trump* left the G7 early for mysterious reasons, up to and including the possibility of a wider war with Iran. Additionally, I stumbled across this ‘stack this morning, and this post left me contemplating what any of it

Keeping this writeup short, Chat! It was a jam-packed episode, with so much to cover from the weekend. We talked about the assassination of MN lawmaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, and the attempted assassination of State Senator of John Hoffman and his wife—and the sheer lack of surprise that the gunman was a disgruntled MAGA fool.The No Kings protests were huge, and Trump’s parade was bust. Meanwhile…Israel and Iran are trying to wipe each other off the map. Kiss your ass goodbye, maybe?We

I went into this No Kings Day with huge apprehensions—with just cause.We had a president itching to pull the trigger on the Insurrection Act, a baltallion in Washington DC for his “I’m a Big Boy” military parade, millions gathering for protests, the National Guard deployed in multiple states, the Marines in Los Angeles, and Israel and Iran lobbing weapons at one another. Then we awoke to news of the assassination of Minnesota State Rep Melissa Hortman and her husband Saturday morning.It was a

Lawrence Winnerman and I knew we wanted to host a pre-Father’s Day Live where we shared stories about our dads. We decided we needed to bring on an amazing father as our guest—and The Opinionated Ogre was a top choice. So we asked him.He replied yes, and then shared a link. “You might want to read my story first…” he told us.And… whoa. After reading it, we knew he was the only possible guest for today’s show.

It’s no secret that Dana DuBois and I are fans of Füsun Aydın. What’s not to love? She’s smart, funny, and has a rapier wit so scathing and funny that you have to laugh, even if it’s impaling you. But what brought us together to begin with—and what keeps us enraptured—is her writing.Füsun has announced an ambitious plan to write and publish her first memoir on Substack—an autobiography of her first fifteen years, wherein she will publish a chapter each week on Sundays.Her first chapter dropped last
