My Favorite Murder Hello. And welcome.

**Karen Kilgariff** (0:17)
To My Favorite Murder.

**Georgia Hardstark** (0:19)
That's Georgia Hardstark.

**Karen Kilgariff** (0:20)
That's Karen Kilgariff.

**Georgia Hardstark** (0:21)
And this is what we like to call a 10-year plan.

**Karen Kilgariff** (0:27)
It's almost been 11 years now. We're going to have to stop saying 10

**Georgia Hardstark** (0:31)
I know.

**Karen Kilgariff** (0:32)
It's pretty great. It's pretty crazy.

**Georgia Hardstark** (0:33)
I feel like the luckiest person in the world.

**Karen Kilgariff** (0:35)
Same.

**Georgia Hardstark** (0:36)
But it is very surreal to be sitting in my house trying to figure out what to watch on TV and this podcast comes up on Netflix. It's so strange.

**Karen Kilgariff** (0:45)
Yeah.

**Georgia Hardstark** (0:46)
And so hopefully the people at home understand, we're just pretending like this is normal and that we do it all the time.

**Karen Kilgariff** (0:52)
Couldn't I tell you something speaking of Netflix and this cute outfit I'm wearing? Did you know that when we were on break, I had Molly and Tess make a chart of all the outfits I've worn, so I don't repeat an outfit? Do you want to see it?
I can't repeat an outfit. It's an old trauma wound of getting made fun of for wearing hand-me-downs.

**Georgia Hardstark** (1:14)
These pulls.

**Karen Kilgariff** (1:15)
Isn't it amazing? So thank you, Molly and Tess, for indulging my trauma and vanity. I think those two things are.

**Georgia Hardstark** (1:22)
Looks like you repeated that Steve Martin shirt a couple of times.

**Karen Kilgariff** (1:25)
No, those are mini-sodes.

**Georgia Hardstark** (1:28)
So it repeats because it's the same day?

**Karen Kilgariff** (1:30)
Yeah.

**Georgia Hardstark** (1:31)
I was really disappointed. So how dare you? Why don't you get your ass up out of this chair and change outfits on the day?

**Karen Kilgariff** (1:36)
You know I would do that if you had been into it.

**Georgia Hardstark** (1:40)
If we get you a curtain that spins around you and when you spin back out, you have a different outfit on.

**Karen Kilgariff** (1:44)
It's such a relief. The first time when I was like, do you want to change outfits? And you're like, fuck no. And I'm like, really?
Great. And now I need to bedazzle this and make some kind of a basic.

**Georgia Hardstark** (1:54)
Literally, when I was leaving my house today, I was like, I had to put on a shirt. I was like, I have to cover my arms. I was saying all these things to myself. And I was like, I don't have to do shit.

**Karen Kilgariff** (2:03)
Don't.

**Georgia Hardstark** (2:03)
People don't really. It's not like that anymore. No.

**Karen Kilgariff** (2:06)
Well, Netflix has changed it for me a little bit. It's like up the game a little.

**Georgia Hardstark** (2:10)
Well, there's the exposure aspect that we already had, but we weren't really thinking about.

**Karen Kilgariff** (2:14)
Right.

**Georgia Hardstark** (2:15)
But here's my thing. And if you're here for the glamor, don't look on the side of the table. Or the side.

**Karen Kilgariff** (2:21)
I'm wearing a fucking Jan Brady outfit.

**Georgia Hardstark** (2:25)
Sure, Jan. But my thing was like, I'm trying to provide the Kim Deal, Patricia Highsmith angle of we're busy and we're not doing that thing.

**Karen Kilgariff** (2:34)
I like that.

**Georgia Hardstark** (2:34)
And we represent those girls.

**Karen Kilgariff** (2:36)
I have those days. You can see in the binder.

**Georgia Hardstark** (2:39)
I've seen that. I've lived that binder. I know.

**Karen Kilgariff** (2:42)
She has those hangovers and that PMS, despite not having her fucking uterus, she still has them.

**Georgia Hardstark** (2:48)
All those hormones are in there.

**Karen Kilgariff** (2:49)
She puts on Steve Martin t-shirt, vintage. But she puts it on.

**Georgia Hardstark** (2:53)
She puts it on.

**Karen Kilgariff** (2:54)
You were going to tell me a story.

**Georgia Hardstark** (2:55)
Last weekend, we went to Dollywood.
Shut up. Yeah, me and Laura and Nora and my cousin, Stevie and Kim and their daughters. Because Anna is the biggest fan of Dolly. And she basically has been talking about, would you go with me if I went to Dollywood? And we're all like, hell yes, we'll go. And we finally did it.

**Karen Kilgariff** (3:13)
Is it like a Knott's Berry farm or is it more like a Disneyland?

**Georgia Hardstark** (3:16)
I would say it's like right in between the two. So I was like, it's so funny you asked that because I was anticipating Knott's Berry farm and maybe down.

**Karen Kilgariff** (3:27)
Just so everyone knows, Knott's Berry farm is like the Southern California like mom and pop amusement park. So think of it as like your local amusement park, which is like charming and cute, but a little janky.
