On the latest Sis & Tell Podcast episode "The Russian Bikini Waxer" Alison and I chat about waxing versus shaving, how a trip to Disney World in the 1980s prepared us for the Pandemic and how one person's trash is another's Halloween costume.

How to Eat a Little Debbie Swiss Roll

If you’ve listened to the Sis & Tell Podcast then you know Alison (my sister/co-host) and I have strong opinions about all sorts of oddities. We’ve provided comedic commentary on how to’s ranging from measuring belly buttons to breaking up with your “COVID bubble.” Sometimes we disagree. Other times we agree to disagree. But there’s a certain subject where no arbitration is needed. In fact, we are so “same page” that we could co-author an RBG-style Dissent to support our suppositions. And that’s how to eat a Little Debbie Swiss Cake Roll.

There’s a special way to eat Little Debbie Swiss Cake Rolls. If you didn’t know that it’s because you’ve either never had one or quite simply you’re eating it wrong. Along with cream cheese and green olive sandwiches, the Goldstein Family grew up eating Swiss Cake Rolls as a school lunch staple. Even though Alison and I are seven years a part, we have the same deconstruction strategy for eating these nostalgic snack cakes. Check out the video below for How to Eat a Little Debbie Swiss Cake Roll and listen to the entire Sis & Tell Podcast episode about this “Time Magazine’s 2006 Person of the Year.”

How to Make a Face Mask from a Kippah (or Yarmulke)

My sister Alison and I may be crafty with our words, but not so much with our abilities to DIY things like face masks. Life has been a series of Pinterest fails and Etsy wannabe fumbles. But fortunately, we discovered a little life hack on how to make a face mask using a kippah, which is a Jewish ritual head covering (also known as a yarmulke in Yiddish). Sounds not so kosher, eh? At least, we’re not using them to DIY a bikini top? That would be ridiculous, because I don’t even wear bikinis!

Check out our rabbi-approved video on how to turn a kippah into a face mask below. You can also listen to our full podcast episode, where we chat about discovering this DIY skill in the Sis & Tell Podcast episode “Corona Kosher”.

First here are the materials you’ll need to gather in order to make your own yarmulke face mask:

  • A kippah (the thinner material ones are better)

  • A stapler

  • Two pony tail holders

  • Your adorable face

Pandemic Pole Dancing

On this week’s Sis & Tell Podcast episode “Pandemic Pole Dancing”, I give Alison the details on my experience taking a pole dancing class at Vertical Joe’s in downtown Atlanta with my friend Tiffany Anderson, a fellow stand-up comedian. If you’re a reality TV fan, you may recognize Vertical Joe’s from a Real Housewives of Atlanta episode. On the particular day that Tiffany and I took the class, we shared the space with two members of the cast from TLC’s The 7 Little Johnston’s as they were recording an episode for their show. With some Bumps, bruises and embarrassing moments aside, I had an extremely fun time ‘working the pole’.
