Let’s Talk Cookout Rules, Playlists & Invitations

This week, we’re kicking off cookout season! ☀️🍔🎶

After Memorial Day weekend, we had to ask the important questions:

Would you rather host the cookout or just show up with a plate? 😅 And what exactly is proper cookout guest etiquette these days?

We get into:

🔥 the perfect cookout menu

🔥 overrated cookout foods

🔥 songs that MUST be on the cookout playlist

🔥 what really makes the cookout vibe feel like summer

🔥 and of course… who’s REALLY invited to the cookout 👀

We also talk about how the phrase “invited to the cookout” has evolved online, whether people are getting invites too easily, and if some cultural spaces should just stay ours without needing outside validation.

Funny, nostalgic, and full of strong opinions about food, music, and summertime culture — this episode feels just like sitting around at the family cookout. 🎧💛
