Small Achievable Goals (2025) s01e08 Episode Script

"Glow Up with Kris"
has just been nominated
for a Poddy Award.
- Oh.
I did it! I did it!
I don't wanna win
the award with you.
I don't want anything
to do with you.
I want it, okay?
Because it's my brainchild.
I'm anxious, I'm bloated.
I can't sleep.
You might possibly
be in perimenopause.
No! ♪
[Julie].
Got no libido.
And when I do have sex,
it feels like razor blades.
I could give up
the P in V sex,
but I'm not sure that
my husband Pete can.
You told your entire
podcast audience
that you do not wanna
have sex with me?
What?
You have no boundaries!
I don't have anyone
to talk to at home.
I'm alone.
[quirky upbeat music]
Julie? Is Julie here?
Kris.
Yeah, I need to talk to you.
Well, I've got something
to say to you.
You have no idea
what you have done.
Wait a second.
I know why I'm angry,
why are you angry?
Ah, because you left that
personal stuff with Saffron
in the podcast.
Oh and you think I left in
that really embarrassing
confession about Pete
and our sex life?
Oh yeah, that
doesn't make sense.
Okay, fine. Then if you
didn't leave it in,
I didn't leave it in,
who left it in?
I did. Oh, you guys,
that episode was so
incredible and messy.
I knew it would go viral.
Cha ching.
Ugh. What's wrong?
This episode has more downloads
than anything you've aired.
You should be happy.
And thank me.
You released that episode
without our consent.
That was private stuff
that was never supposed
to go in the episode.
You know what?
I am the Managing
Director of Podcast Folx
and I am the one who
brought you two together.
I should get the Poddy Award.
I edit the episodes. Not you.
You wanted a podcast about
honesty and connection
and you did it and it
was great, right?
Everyone loved it!
[Julie].
Yeah, everyone
except our families!
[muffled] Oh God, yeah,
I can't hear you.
[muffled] The office
is a sound vortex.
Yeah?
Well, can you hear this?
- Oh.
[alt-rock music]
Yeah, that's gonna
be in stereo!
[alt-rock music]
I feel it all,
I feel it all ♪
I FEEL IT ALLLLLLLLL!!! ♪
Pete still isn't
answering my calls.
It's been
almost a week.
Is he ever gonna
forgive me?
Yeah. Saffron still
won't talk to me.
How long do
you think
she's gonna live
with her dad?
Give her some time and space.
She'll come around.
You've given Pete time.
How the fuck is that
working out for ya?
Julie, we need to be active.
Okay, okay, but to be fair,
it's an entirely
different thing.
We are married,
so I have legal
custody of Pete.
Ugh! And the Poddy
Awards are tonight.
I don't give a
goddamn shit
about the
nominations, okay?
I just care about
my daughter.
So you do whatever you
wanna do with Pete,
you goddamn weirdo.
'Cause I actually
have a plan to
get Saffron back.
Does it involve mooning?
No. You know what?
I'm gonna do
even better.
I'm gonna meet her
exactly where she's at.
Yes!
At school?
Because honestly,
that didn't work out
so well the last time.
I am not gonna meet
her at school, Julie.
I've learned
my lesson.
I'm not gonna
embarrass
my little girl.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
Where you going?
I've gotta
get a broom,
I've gotta get
a pointy hat,
and I've gotta
get an IUD.
Oh, I have a
doctor's appointment.
It's a Band-Aid solution
to the bleeding.
Gotta say, riding a bike
right after getting an IUD
might not be the wisest.
I'll drive you.
So we'll be back in
time for the awards.
Shotgun! I got
my hand up first.
And we just have to stop
off and see Saffron.
Mm, I think I'll wait
in the car this time.
[quirky upbeat music]
[Kris cackling]
Jesus, Mom!
Look, it's me.
I'm giving you time and space
and I'm meeting you
where you're at,
'cause I'm a witch.
Look at me. Yay.
Yeah, I can see that.
Listen, Saffron,
I'm really sorry
that I didn't tell
you the truth.
Mom, you never
tell me the truth.
Is that why you didn't
tell me about your period?
'Cause I wanted you
to know how it feels.
Listen, listen to me.
I didn't tell you about all
the doctor's appointments
because I didn't
wanna scare you.
I wanted to protect you.
Not telling me is
a lot more scary.
I just think the worst.
I'm so sorry.
You know what?
You want the truth?
You are coming
with me right now
to the doctor's appointment.
- What?
Yeah, I'll explain
in Julie's car.
Let's go!
Only because I get
to miss biology.
[Kris cackling]
Catch up! I'm flying!
[quirky upbeat music]
Hey. I have
an event later.
So
Woowee! Somebody's
looking casket sharp!
Jamila
- Uh huh.
You wouldn't happen to know how
to tie a bow tie, would you?
Actually, I do.
- Oh.
My daddy owned a
funeral parlour.
Keep still.
[stammers] It's a little tight.
I'm not used to doing
this on somebody
who could actually move.
There he is.
Hey, Michael.
Michael, what is the occasion?
Well, the Poddy Awards
are today,
and I have two tickets,
so I'll be taking Evan.
Aren't those tickets
for Kris and Julie?
Ah, it's just for
the top brass, right?
Mm-hmm.
I mean, I would take
them but it's sold out.
And I wanna be there
when I beat Amanda King.
You know, she used
to work for me?
Yeah.
Yeah, she left to
start her own business.
An independent woman.
How disgusting.
After everything I
taught her with the-
You're being sarcastic.
Would I do that?
Well, I agree with you, Michael.
A hundred percent.
Ugh, Judas.
Yeah. See? This is
why I promoted him.
But also because
of my work ethic.
Yeah, of course.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[quirky upbeat music]
Hey, this is Sharon.
She's my new mate.
My mom's a lot.
She's fun though.
Uh, I can see the
family resemblance.
I wear it better.
[Julie chuckling]
[phone ringing]
It's Pete.
Hello?
[Pete on phone].
Jules, look, I had
a little accident.
I'm at the fire training
facility. I need you-
I'm on my way.
Pete needs me. I gotta go.
Okay. Good luck.
I'll take care of my mom. Go.
Okay. Bye.
[quirky upbeat music]
Pete? Oh.
Pete? Do you know? Okay.
Oh Pete, can you hear me?
Don't die while you're
still mad at me!
I'm fine.
You don't look fine.
I just twisted my ankle
earlier, that's all.
All right. During a
training exercise.
That's why I called you.
All right? I can't drive.
So I figure if you
gimme a ride home,
I'll get the car later.
Wha-what's all this then?
Oh, sorry.
While I'm outta commission,
the guys figured
they'd run me through
another training exercise.
You know, brush up
on their skills.
That's it.
Jesus Christ, you
scared the shit out of me!
Hmm. Well, I'm sorry.
So this is where you've
been spending all your time?
This is where the
training happens.
Pretty cool, huh?
Kinda is, yeah.
Well, here, let me
introduce you to the guys.
Oh, are these the guys
that heard the last podcast?
Oh, they're over that.
Earlier today, one
of the new guys
slid down the fire pole
with his shorts on.
Everyone here is just busy
calling him "thigh burns."
I would've gone
with "fire crotch."
Oh my God, that's way better.
Guys, how 'bout
"fire crotch" for Eddie?
[chuckling]
I see why you like it here.
He cried earlier.
[quirky upbeat music]
Well, Michael and
Evan are nincompoops.
What would you like
me to do about it?
We have to stop them from
stealing the spotlight
from Julie and Kris.
I just don't wanna
get involved.
It's too late,
you're already involved.
So I'll call Julie,
you call Kris.
Ooh, as much as
I would love to,
Kris isn't really
talking to me right now.
Why, 'cause you had a little
smoochie-smooch, got scared,
changed your mind and cut
it off in a hot second?
How did you-
You got your magic,
I got mine.
[in unison] Shambala.
[Dr. Kent].
Let's scooch down a little.
Scooch it like
you mean it.
Bring it towards me, come on.
There we go.
Alright, I'm gonna
start the procedure now.
You might feel a little pinch.
Okay.
Ah, okay, okay.
That was just, that wasn't,
that was more than
a pinch. Whew!
[Dr. Kent].
You gotta stay still.
It's gonna be some discomfort,
but that's totally normal.
I heard that before.
Ah, sorry. I'll, yes.
[Dr. Kent].
You know what?
I got something for ya.
Just hold onto that,
squeeze it and then you
will be able to relax.
[Kris].
Okay.
I can take the pain.
I can take the pain.
Can you?
Ah, I can feel it it's
scraping my cervix
all the way up my throat.
It's sharp.
Women are praised
for taking the pain.
Did you have a
natural birth?
Yes I did. No drugs.
That's amazing.
I was shamed for a C-section.
Gotta prioritize a
doctor's needs.
Yeah, take it.
I can take it. I can't,
I can't, I can't take it.
I can't take it.
Alright. Alright, let's,
uh, try again another day.
Or not.
I'm sorry.
I'm gonna leave
you to get dressed.
[gentle music]
[Pete sighing]
Firefighters make
really good hot chocolate.
I know.
Hey, Pete.
I'm sorry about the podcast.
Are we still friends?
Always.
Hey, listen, um,
about the P in V stuff.
I-I could live without it.
Really?
We can always do other stuff.
Or not do stuff at all.
Is this because
I said it hurts?
Partly. Like I, obviously
I never wanna hurt you,
but, you know, doing
stuff is a lot of work.
Sometimes I just wanna
watch Bake Off, you know?
Yeah. Hmm.
You know what I,
I think I wanna keep doing
the work to make it work or,
or to make it less work.
Is that okay?
Yeah, of course. Obviously.
Just not tonight.
I'm exhausted.
[Grace].
Excuse me? Julie?
Oh, this is Grace.
Our instructor.
I just came over to say,
I listened to your podcast
with Peaches and I loved it.
Oh.
I've also been experiencing
awful night sweats.
Oh my God,
they're the worst, right?
It's like this whole
second puberty
that nobody tells you about.
Can you imagine not
telling kids about puberty?
Yes, that's literally
what my parents did.
Right. Sorry.
[phone ringing]
[Grace].
Hey, the boys wanna put you
in a full body cast in ten.
Hello?
Julie, you need to get your
ass back into the office asap.
[Julie on phone].
Something came up.
Why? What's happening?
Uh, the Poddy Awards.
[Julie on phone].
Mo?
Hi, I'm involved.
Michael just stole your tickets
and is taking Evan
Shit.
[Jamila].
Yeah, and we can't
get ahold of Kris.
Okay, you know what?
I know where she is.
I will grab her.
I'm gonna come with you.
- Yeah.
I don't want to go
in a full body cast.
No, that's a good idea.
You have a lot of body hair.
Let's go.
[quirky upbeat music]
So how'd it go?
Great. [sighs]
Oh no, we're not gonna
do that anymore.
We're gonna tell
each other stuff.
I didn't have the IUD
because it was too painful.
So what are you gonna do?
I don't know, but I do
know that I am so tired
of not having answers
to my questions
and I'm really, really tired
of people trying to tell me
that my period and
pain are normal.
Is the pain worse
than cramps?
Do you have cramps, babe?
Here, here, I got some
ibuprofen in my cauldron.
Mom's got her gel nails on,
can you get that top off?
You know, uh, pain and cramps
is totally normal
in a girl her age.
[tense music]
Honey, hold my cauldron.
What did you say?
I just said that pain and
cramps is completely normal.
If you try and normalize
my little girl's pain,
I'm gonna take a page
outta Julie's book
and I'm gonna wear your
balls as a necklace.
But first I'm gonna
frigging dip them in oil
and I'm gonna
light them on fire!
Sharon, call security.
I'm super busy.
You must be Kris.
Oh my God, Pete.
- Hi.
Nice to properly meet you.
Oh, okay. I think maybe we
should save the intros
for later.
Let's go.
She's dressed up like a witch,
like a wit-
[dial tone humming]
usic]
Where's Michael and Evan?
Girl, you're a day
late and a dime short.
They left already.
I am not getting
skipped again.
No one's getting skipped.
We're all going and we're
stopping Evan and Michael.
Yes we are.
Jamila, what time
is our category up?
In exactly one hour.
Okay, that's not much time.
We don't have any tickets!
Ah, no problem. I have a plan.
But first, we need the
Glow Up of all Glow Ups.
We gotta go in there
looking badass.
Can you do it?
Yeah, I can.
Mm-hmm.
I'm just gonna
need a few things.

Won't say another word.
Okay, run, everybody,

Julie, I'm gonna meet
you in the bathroom.
We better move now, honey.
You better go. Okay.
[Julie VO].
Time is not our friend.
Here's the plan.
First step,
we need to get past security.
It's magic time.
[Julie VO].
Mo, we need you to
create a distraction.
Prepare to be amazed!
Shambala.
[quirky upbeat music]
I'm a magician.
I was doing a magic trick!
[Julie VO].
If we win, we need to make
sure we get to the stage first.
While Chelsey
takes care of Evan
AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
[Julie VO].
No, no, not that.
Better.
But even a drunk
can accept an award.
This has gotta be airtight.
Robyn, stop Evan.
[quirky suspenseful music]
[Julie VO].
Larry, make friends with
the sound department.
And Jamila, the big
boss is all yours.
Oh my God.
I found it in the cloakroom.
It really was the
best I can do.
I promise we will
make this work.
You look like a
Dry vagina.
You know what?
Gimme a spin.
Yeah, you do.
And the nominees for
best new podcast are:
Blow Up with Kris.
[audience clapping]
Where the hell are they?
I can fix this.
It's great. Fine.
Just a little pop of colour.
Look what I got from
the lost and found.
No, no. Oh, no,
no, no, Kris, no.
Yes.
- Oh, I hate you, oh!
I love you.
And the winner of
best new podcast is:
Glow Up with Kris!
[Evan].
Yes!
There it is.
Yes! I knew it.
[Kris].
We gotta go!
[Evan grunting]
Congratulations.
Who would've thought that
the ladies would win? [laughs]
[quirky upbeat music]
I want to thank you.
It's such an honour.
Thank you.
I got this. I got this.
- Okay.
Wow. Totally unexpected.
Uh, I do want to thank
all the other nominees
for not being up here.
I'd like to also it's
like a, um, I think
Can they?
Is there something
wrong with the mic?
[Evan].
Testing, one, two.
Thank you.
Glow up with Kris.
Here's Kris.
[audience clapping]
Go for it, Julie.
[audience clapping]
Ah. Ahhhh, wow.
This is actually literally
my worst nightmare, um,
standing in front of you
dressed like a space priestess.
[audience laughing]
But I realize now that that's
because I judged my aunt
who dresses like this,
really harshly.
I thought she'd given up and
I realize now she's free.
And actually this is
quite comfortable.
Uh, I, um, I turned 50 this
year and I hit menopause
and I really thought
that my life was over.
Um, but I realize now that
it's the start of something
pretty great.
And, um, I think I have
you to thank for that, Kris.
[audience clapping]
Perimenopause!
I'm in it!
I mean, Julie
forced me into it,
but here I am.
Yeah, I think, I think
your body did that.
[audience laughing]
I love you, Julie.
Oh, yeah.
No, I mean, I really love you.
Also, I-I love hormones.
That's right, I love 'em.
Also, I love period blood.
Yeah! Yeah, I mean,
I don't love 27 days of it.
Hey, that's a, that's a lot
of stuff happening down there.
Also, I don't think I love
the menopause medical system.
That could use some work.
Dr. Kent, I'm looking at you!
[Julie].
Okay, I think what we're
trying to say is that-
We love middle-aged vaginas.
Yeah? You know what
I'm talking about?
Hands up if you've got one.
Yeah? Put your hands up.
Let me see it.
Get 'em up in the air.
Lemme see it.
Hands up if you love them.
That's right.
Hands up if you've got one.
I wanna see your hands.
Yeah, actually, so I think
maybe we do a new podcast,
kind of like our last episode
where we talk about menopause
and tell the truth about it,
and but we're not
blowing up our families.
So in conclusion,
thank you very much.
We'd like to thank our
wonderful colleagues
at the Podcast Folx,
you guys rock!
And we'd like to thank the
person who helped us the most.
[in unison] Evan Vandergrift.
Who brought us together
in the first place.
Evan, this is for you.
Thank you.
[whispers] Seriously?
Yeah.
- Oh. Oh my God.
Um, wow, um, thank you.
[loud upbeat music]
I'm not done. [chuckles]
I'm not finished.
Kris. Kris. Kris!
Hi.
- Hi.
I'm so proud of you.
Thanks. How did
you get in here?
Magique. [chuckles]
Um, I made a terrible mistake
and I just wanna say
that I think I can-
Mo, Mo, I think that you
are a wonderful magician,
but I just don't
think it's our time.
I'll see you around.
Yep. See you around.
See ya.
Julie and Kris.
Hey.
I don't remember approving
any new podcasts, did I?
Well, you know, Michael,
if you've seen the numbers
for the Peaches episode,
you'd actually see this-
Oh, Amanda.
- Michael.
Hi.
Well, I see you won one,
two, three, four, five.
Five of your nine nominations.
Whereas we won a hundred
percent of ours.
Of the one you were
nominated for.
[both laughing]
I just wanted to say-
Hi. Amanda. Hi.
Hi.
From Queen of Kings Studios.
I was blown away by
what you said up there.
Oh.
And I think your idea for
the podcast could be huge.
I'd like you to think about
coming to do it with me
instead of with
the Podcast Folx.
We are a woman run,
woman owned studio.
Yeah, you'd both
love it there.
Think about it.
Thank you.
- Thank you.
Thank you.
Wait a minute.
Throw that out.
Hey.
- Michael.
Hey Michael, um.
Are you thinking
what I'm thinking?
Yeah, we should
leave Podcast Folx.
I wanna fuck her.
I mean, what you
were thinking.
Definitely what
you were thinking.
Well, we got her
number either way.
