Call It What It Is

Kindergarten, College & the 20K Dorm Room

September 10, 2026·35 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

Jess and Camilla are on opposite ends of the back-to-school emotional spiral this week: Jess just dropped her son off at college. Camilla just sent hers off to kindergarten. Different-sized backpacks. Same car cry. Then there are the dorm rooms. Apparently, sending your kid to college now includes $20,000 interior design jobs for a room they'll live in for eight months. Camilla calls for a ban. Jess has thoughts. A debate ensues. Also: the Sonny Angels takeover, the tiny plastic creatures currently holding tween girls-and their parents' wallets—hostage. And Camilla unveils her completely reasonable plan for coping when her kids eventually leave home: buy a spy robot and follow them. Healthy! Normal! And next week, Camilla is off filming Grey's Anatomy, which means Jess is bringing in a mystery guest. She's dropping hints. We're saying nothing.
