It's Christmas at Cage & Fish so how about a game? Spot the lie about this episode! 1) Elaine builds a stage with her BARE HANDS so she can perform her holiday number in the manner to which she has become accustomed, 2) everyone realises that mistletoe only leads to bad things so it is boycotted by the ENTIRE OFFICE AND NOTHING BAD HAPPENS, or 3) Ling is full of the spirit of the festive season and cannot stop repeating the sounding joy. PLUS the wonderful Katie Parker (our long lost sister and the unofficial expert of Ally Christmas episodes!) joins us to discuss all this and more! This episode we're discussing s2e10: Making Spirits Bright. *** Check out Katie's podcast TFGIF on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts!

You know that thing where you try and get rid of a bad date by falling to the ground and getting your secretary to tell him you’ve died?

This episode centres around some party that Ally is giving JUST BECAUSE. Which means we get a whole lotta dancing, a whole lotta kissing and a whole lotta Billy ButtHurt! We also object on Ally's behalf as she gets put in contempt of court by mean ol' Judge Walsh over her wardrobe choices, before we finally get to the REAL debate of the episode - what the hell kinda aesthetic was Ally's party-swan-fruit-salad?!

This episode we discuss everything LING as she finally arrives on the scene with a cause of action that Nelle argues triumphantly only for internalised misogyny to run rampant through the Cage & Fish office. The ringleader? Ally of course! Meanwhile, John is cute with a stuffed animal. This episode (whilst trying not to vomit in disgust

Today we sit at our desks, hugging our briefcases, after calling our best friend and calling them a "witch", looking back on all that we have endured together over these last 23 episodes.
