A gentle check-in between two friends, reflecting on work, life, and current events.

We’re all over the map this week — swapping fishing tales, reminiscing about the glory and terror of waterslides that feel like near-death experiences, and asking the important question: when did every bathing suit become a thong? We also get sidetracked by the northern lights (again) and somehow end up talking about Trump (don’t worry, it’s brief). It’s chaotic, it’s honest, and it might be our most unhinged episode yet.

In this glitter-drenched episode, we dive into vacation shenanigans that include a very serious skeleton hunt (spoiler: not everything is as it seems), questionable decision-making, and some truly iconic moments of chaos. We also unpack Taylor Swift’s showgirl era, the Tortured Poets Department feels, and how content creation plays into the magic (and mess) of memory-making. It’s giving sparkle, it’s giving unhinged, it’s giving... “we probably shouldn't have recorded this, but here we are.”

This episode is all over the place—in the best way. We’re diving into the juiciest dating rumors (allegedly 👀), veering off into electric car talk (yes, tires matter), reliving a wild horseback accident, and somehow ending up in a convo about helicopter rides and skinny dipping. Buckle up—it's chaotic, unfiltered, and 100% us.

We dive into the buzz around Bill Gates’ mosquito release and the science of bio control—then shift gears to talk about the ‘bills’ we all deal with today. From bugs to budgets, we got you!

In this episode, we cover everything from the scientific to the soulful. We kick things off with a fascinating discovery—a newly identified blood type that could change how we understand human biology. Then we shift gears to cover the devastating flash floods sweeping through Texas and New Mexico and the communities affected.

From there, we dive into some atmospheric mysteries, discussing recent aurora borealis sightings and the buzz around HAARP. As the episode winds down, we pay tribute to the late country music legend Toby Keith, reflecting on his impact and legacy. Finally, we wrap up with a practical conversation about how to grow your social media following and boost engagement in today’s fast-moving digital world.

Whether you're here for the science, the stories, or the strategy—this episode has something for everyone.

A spontaneous winery-to-speakeasy adventure with your besties—think Merlot, beans, live‑band chatter, and gut‑healthy tips. We laugh about the benefits of beans, share stories behind the music and ambiance, and just enjoy being together—no script, just real conversation.

In this episode, we sit down with our friend Deb — yes, that Deb, one of the top 100 most loved accordion players in the world — but this isn’t a story about music. Not yet.

Deb shares a deeply personal and, at times, painful journey: from a violent encounter with police to a serious fall that led to unexpected medical discoveries. Along the way, she talks openly about the uphill battle of navigating a healthcare system that’s stretched too thin — and how being prescribed opioids turned her from a patient into a suspect in the eyes of many doctors.

It’s a tough conversation, but an important one — honest, raw, and full of moments that’ll make shake your head in disbelief.

In part two, we’ll get into the joy, weirdness, and wild stories of her accordion career. But for now, this is Deb’s story of resilience — and a system that needs to do better.
