But if you want to hear about The Traitors, Taylor Swift, the Grammys, and Katy’s computer, you’ve come to the right place. Amy’s mom is either an enemy of the pod or a future guest. Katy loves falls. Chris had to re-record three dummy audio segments to cover recording glitches. So did you have fun tonight?

The Ice Princesses (official name from now on?) watch the premiere of Skating with the Stars, and if you thought they were in equipped to talk about DWTS, just you wait. Amy flexes her skating knowledge on the others, while Katy teaches about Bethenny Frankel. And wouldn’t you know, Chris begins his dark descent into hating the show. At least we all have The Traitors.

Amy is handing out Golden Boots and Jaunty Seh-VEHNs for all who deserve them. Chris is not even attempting to hold it together. DWTS has finally broken your Queens of the Night. This ep is an all-timer, folks.

The quarterfinals only have one full dance per couple, which is unconscionable. Amy is starting a GoFundMe. Chris is a curmudgeon. Katy has hearts coming out of her hands. Happy ThanksgEvening, Swifties. Unfollow Scooter Braun, because if you don’t, that’s a misstep. And one misstep and I could be going home.

On this night of an inexplicable Julianne outfit and a surprisingly expert Paula Abdul, Amy is here to tell you all about the dances. Chris is using this description as a way to compliment her growth at technically breaking down the dances themselves. We love a ballroom journey. And Katy chose to not be here. Take on that.

Maybe non-IP costumes? No matter, as the Nu Queens of the Night may be a day late but aren’t a dollar short. Katy presents a trick of somebody she’s starting to warm up on. Amy provides a treat of being Fashion Police. Chris is just here to metaphorically egg houses by asking off-topic questions. Spooky! (It’s November, but we must commit to the bit.)

It's a mixed-up kind of planet where Tony is legitimately the Bad Boy of the Ballroom, where Chris and Katy are on the same page for every couple, where wine is appropriate for dance rehearsals, and where Brooke is still just as savage as usual. At least the Walker wedding (which is indeed recapped here) is recognized on every planet.

Amy is up past midnight because Katy is Mamma Mia!ing and Chris was Hamiltoning, so she alone has thoughts on this second week of competition. It’s going to be a weird one because it’s later than usual, but we are committed to our fan(s). Boyfriend Tim also walks through, which causes Chris to briefly screw up his microphone. This is a WARNING that the volume is going to fluctuate horribly throughout. Doesn’t that sound spicy (like a salsa)?

A lesser Robbed Goddess is added to the Pantheon, more love is offered to Karina Smirnoff, the love lives of Shirley and Corky Ballas are examined, and the true evil mastermind of Dancing with the Stars may have been revealed. Does this sound enticing enough?

Recorded shortly after they both saw it, your star-crossed hosts freely share their initial feelings about the movie. Did they like it? Is Rachel Zegler a star? Can “I Feel Pretty” finally win over Katy? Is the prostitute obviously Chris’ favorite character? Did it pass a certain time of night? Answers to these questions and more await you.

In this second episode of WSS Month, it’s Act 2 of the original film, and Katy has a scalding hot taek that is actually about as basic as you can get.

For the first week of a month dedicated to the release of Spielberg’s remake, we are talking about the 1961 original! Katy and Chris break down Act 1 of the film that means so much to them, with some really spicy takes. Of course they start with 9 minutes about Wicked, and they must end with many minutes about "America". Nothing here is surprising, but everything is fun! Mambo? Go!

It’s an episode filled with tangents, impromptu ad reads, jewelry shopping, contract discussions, and far too much hatred about events that took place 14 years ago.

Chris having a really bad bout of allergies won't stop him, and Katy's hatred of the Bindi-Derek recreation of the finale dance won't stop her from loving this movie.
