Hey Hoops & Glossers — Happy 4th of July! Fire up the grill, grab a hot dog (mustard only, according to Papi), and buckle up because this week’s episode is officially off. the. rails.

🎙️ Featuring: Shannon “Sexy Papi” Murphy — aka my husband, baby daddy, and completely unfiltered co-host for this holiday chaos special.

We’re talking…

💥 Club sports: the travel, the cost, the trauma, and why we’re still here 💥 The volleyball tournament that gave me a black eye (true story) 💥 A deep dive into Speedos, co-ed swim, and… high school grooming habits? 💥 A very American 4th of July trivia game (Papi shockingly nails it) 💥 Fireworks safety PSA that turns into a full-blown hot take 💥 Nutrition tip: Watching the news might be making you fat

🚨 Caution: This episode includes overshares, unfiltered memories, and a strong opinion about Piccolo Petes.

So whether you're road-tripping, BBQing, or just trying to survive family time without starting a political debate — press play, laugh with us (or at us), and celebrate this beautiful, messy, overcaffeinated American life.

🇺🇸 Happy 4th of July, friends. May your burgers be juicy, your flags un-ironed, and your Speedos retired.

xoxo
