Kat Cohen

Did you write that? You're a liar.

You go back, you listen to everything. It's like, and our favorite.

It's just such a bold thing. I prefer The Daily. I take it back. It's okay. What podcast do you guys listen to?

Totally.

Hard-hitting news sources. Companion pieces.

Totally. You can only control how you respond to what happens, not what happens.

I have a shitty tattoo of the word lover on my right hip.

I know it's horny, but I got it to either too thin or too thick. I don't know, but it's all blurred together. It's like a blob on my hip. When did you get it? What were the circumstances? You know, I was in Amsterdam with my friend and we're like, let's fucking go. Can I curse on this? Can I curse on your pod? Yeah. And I was just trying to kind of stay positive. And it was pre-Taylor Swift. Okay.

I did.

Instagram is becoming like that.

My feed is stranger, stranger, stranger.

There's not a lot of redeeming qualities thus far.

Yeah.

Right. And I famously don't, like, subscribe to 2024, 2025. I still operate on school years like a child. Like, I'm like, the year ends when school's out. So I'm still in the same year. I'm not going to change yet.

Wait, when does the school, I know summer vacation, what is that?

We've been learning this.

It's not crazy.

Wow. It's an amazing way to find something out.

Via Google.

Kat, how do you spend your New Year? Well, you know, I've spent so many years saying I'm not going to do this. I'm not going to do that. And so now I'm trying to be more additive. So instead of no booze, no carbs, whatever, the classics, I'm saying, what about more yoga? What about more gratitude journaling? That's beautiful.

What about more – you know, my main thing I'm trying to do is leave my house in the morning because I will stay in there all day. Oh, that is cool.

I struggle with that.

See, I'm thinking it's a matter of days before I adopt a dog. Wow. I want to know more about your dog. Her name is Remy. I've seen photos, I think. She is a black queen.

Is she like a Pomeranian? Oh, God, no.

Yeah, I just really hate it.

I don't know. I'm like, ugh.

The million-dollar question. I know. But I am trying to write down things I'm grateful for every day. That's really good. Well, that's epic. I have a lot going on. I have a lot to be grateful for. And I have to remember that. I'm trying to say I'm really, really, really trying to stay high vibe this year. Yeah. How was 2024 for you? It was good. It was good.

The mood of this podcast is drastically different.

It was better than previous years. It was good, yeah. No complaints.

Uh-uh. Oh, my gosh.

I don't want to go low.

I didn't reach out to anyone.

I just wanted to be with you. Have you guys known each other before? Like seven years. Yeah. Yeah, we must have met 2017. Yeah. Yeah. And here we are. What was the moment? How'd you know? Oh, that's my future co-host. I had seen him do improv. I thought he was like the funniest person ever.

And then he had said he was going to do like a stand-up show and I went like a freaky fan. I cornered him after. I was like, come over. You're coming over for dinner. I said, you're coming over for dinner.

And got noodles.

And then we were like, we should write something together. And that obviously is really impossible. And I was like, what if instead of writing, we just recorded ourselves talking? Similar to writing. Now I've been talking publicly for years. I know.

Where'd you go? Martha's Vineyard. Oh, beautiful.

That's a huge part of growing up. You know what I mean? I think about that, like, every day. I think about someone out there right now.

Yeah, it was crazy to know that.

I'm feeling weird.

Via King Kong?

If you get diagnosed with terminal illness, we'll go and we'll find a penny.

We'll have a team of scientists structuring the drop. We'll do a mini series called The Drop. Six episodes. I'm like, bye, everyone. Bye, everyone. You know, I want to go. Do you guys know about the, speaking of Six Flags, the euthanasia coaster? No. A roller coaster designed with the right G-force to kill you as soon as it drops.

Wouldn't that be a fun way to go? You're like, what?

Stop.

That's so cute. No.

I feel like it was exactly how I thought it would be. Yeah. How did you think?

Oh, you know what I did learn is I actually thought like you were always like prompt or early, which I thought was cool.

But how Grindr-y are you if you're not actually meeting someone from Grindr?

It's not meeting anyone from Grindr. It's not meeting, yeah.

Have y'all done lots of traveling together? Ooh. We went on a ho trip together. Really?

You love the beach.

Where's your favorite beach? What's the nicest beach you've ever been to? Oh, my gosh. Hmm. Maybe Jamaica. Oh, wow. Oh, wow. Yeah, maybe Jamaica.

I might go to Miami for three days at the end of the month.

It was a standard. And it was nice.

We did a podcast show there and no one liked it. Thank God. It was outside. Imagine doing a podcast outside in the Miami heat and everyone's like...

Oh my God, we met those guys. I forgot about those guys.

They literally wanted to have group with us.

Those British guys?

Are you kidding? No. We spoke to these two British guys. Gorgeous. Were they gay?

Oh. Gay enough and straight enough. Yeah. And they both were in relationships, but they were talking to us for so long. How can you not remember this?

Yeah.

But they was at our hotel.

We're so out of step with culture. We know nothing.

I watched all of Vanderpump Rules this summer. That's where I'm at in time and space. I haven't watched it at all. So you're ahead of me. It's unbelievable.

I want to know Sandoval.

It's unbelievable television. Reward yourself with that gift. Do you have to watch the whole thing to understand, though? It makes it so much better. You get to watch the whole thing to understand. Exactly, because the beginning is the best part. Oh, my gosh. And now I'm watching The Valley. My predictions for 2025, culturally...

I'm Kat underscore Cohen because the woman who has Kat Cohen said it would be confusing for her friends and family if she were to give me the handle. I love the underscore and I would never change it for the world. Thank you all for having us. Thank you. What a fun day we've had together.
