My Favorite RedheadS1E18 Breaking the LeaseAfter a fun evening together, the Ricardos and Mertzes end up in an argument that escalates to the point that the Ricardos plan to move out of the apartment building, but first they have to figure out how to get out of their lease. An exercise in pettiness (and, of course, the highest order silliness) ensues. DIscussions include a party at the Arnaz home and Anna Pavlova. Apologies for the noise from the laptop fan... this little computer is really going through it lol.

My Favorite RedheadS1E17 Lucy Writes a PlayThis one is pretty much what it says on the tin -- Lucy writes a play for her women's club, and the gang get into all kinds of shenanigans while staging it! We get a bunch of costumes, one liners, and super nerdy references... so we both have a blast with this underrated gem of an episode. Discussions include Looney Tunes, Elizabeth Taylor, and (of course) the Bard.2022-02-0449 min
My Favorite RedheadBonus: BubbalooDiana obtained the Bubbaloo gum, and we decided to do a quick recording of us trying it just for fun -- but also in honor of our boy Ricky (and Desi, of course). Apologies to any listeners with misophonia... there are some gum chewing and bubble popping sounds in this one, so we won't blame you if you choose to skip it!
Listen to our episode on "The Audition" to hear us discuss Babalu and the first mention of Bubbaloo.

My Favorite RedheadS1E16 Lucy Fakes IllnessLucy decides that she will develop some interesting symptoms as a result of being held back from becoming the star she feels she was meant to be. She ends up thnking she's dying from a rare tropical illness. We spend a lot of time giggling and even more time fawning over Tallulah Bankhead. Apologies for background noise... spirit of chaos and all that.

My Favorite RedheadS1E11 DraftedBelieve it or not, there's a big misunderstanding in this week's episode of I Love Lucy! The women think the men are headed off to war, and the men think the women are preparing for motherhood, and we are extra giggly as we discuss it. Discussions include Tarzan, Franciscan Ivy dinnerware, war, and racism -- all the greatest hits! Apologies for the background noise, spirit of chaos and all that, but we hope you enjoy this one as much as we enjoyed making it!

My Favorite RedheadS1E8 Men are MessyIn this week's episode, we see yet another disagreement between the Ricardos. Lucy likes a nice, tidy apartment and Ricky... doesn't. Lucy's revenge scheme goes a bit awry, and we love her for that. Discussions include Ricky's accent, Cary Grant and Natalie Wood, and our firmly held belief that friends can totally be barefooted around each other. If we're extra giggly in this episode, it's because fighting with the computer to get the recording finished had us a bit hysterical -- we hope you're all laughing along with us!

My Favorite RedheadS1E5 The Quiz ShowLucy needs money and FAST. So of course she goes on a radio game show and ends up having to trick Ricky into thinking she was previously married. And it's even sillier than it sounds, believe it or not! Discussions include questioning the logic behind doing visual gags on the radio and the fact that Viv was married to a real dish in real life. Apologies once again for the background noise/fluctuating sound quality... y'all know the drill by now, but we still want to thank you for being chill about it.

My Favorite RedheadS1E4 Lucy Thinks Ricky is Trying to Murder HerTrue crime/murder mystery fan Lucy becomes convinced that her life is in danger, and we have a lengthy discussion about how it's actually kind of sad but also funny if you don't think very hard. We also lament our own technical difficulties and the lack of Ricky Ricardo musical numbers while sharing lots of historical tidbits about this first filmed episode of I Love Lucy! No wonder we served up an extra long episode this time!
