TODAY AFTER THE SHOW Johnjay wanted to pick Payton's brain a little bit on some thoughts she jotted down. Also, Just as tight as our mornings usually are, Grant had to intervene to stay on schedule. Gotta talk about that cat!

As the world mourns the loss of Lisa Marie Presley, we're turning the clocks WAY back to revisit when she came on our show! She had a record coming out, we talk about her Dad and Graceland, her biggest fears, and so much more. Does Johnjay ask about her feet? Maybe...

She was a very kind and open guest and we were lucky to have her. She will be greatly missed.

Grant is engaged and is a real adult now. Seriously.

Unless it comes to his keys. No, I'm sorry. Just one specific key. His other keys now look like a switchblade.

WE ARE BACK BABY! First Afterwords of 2023, let's get it OOOOOON! If you were listening to our live show or full show podcast today we talked about Instagram Ads and Kyle shared how she scrolled through her husbands feed to find the shoes he wanted to buy and sure enough the first ad was for the right shoes and she was able to surprise him on Christmas. Now into Afterwords, we're seing what our first ADS are to see if they are accurate to us. Kyle's first ad was for a product she would totally buy but meanwhile Noah's first ad was a COMMERCIAL GRADE PARK BENCH! We can't figure that one out. Plus a ROUNDTABLE UPDATE from everyone in the new year!
