Listen, Here's the Thing

This week, Katie and Meko are recapping the whirlwind that was last week—including a Tony Hinchcliffe comedy night, which was hilarious, offensive, and totally on brand. 

Then it’s time for a TV reality check: 

Should you be watching Temptation Island, Running Point, or White Lotus (and are we booking a trip to Thailand now or later?)? Plus, they dive into the dark drama of Adolescence, the plot twists in Surface, and The Pitt and Dope Thief—because we love a show that keeps us confused but committed. 

Of course, the Real Housewives are back in the conversation—but are they getting stale? The ladies debate the current seasons of RHOBH and Southern Charm—because at some point, it's just same drama, different year. 

To wrap it up, they chat Spring Break plans: What’s in the suitcase? (Spoiler: a spray tan is up for debate.) And they touch on the tragic story of the missing University of Pitt student, and what we know so far. 

A little comedy, a lot of TV, and just enough chaos to call it a Monday.  

Listen, Here’s the thing, this week, Katie and Meko are breaking down all the new shows out there on TV. (Basically, they already wasted their time, should you be wasting yours) From Love Is Blind finale drama to Meghan Markle’s new Netflix show, plus a deep dive into the Ruby Franke scandal (because WTF?!). But first, the ladies dive into a little weekend recap, including wine shopping with what MIGHT be their new favorite app, and Katie’s latest Instagram shopping wins (spoiler: she’s convinced her new shower head filter is life-changing). 

Love Is Blind reunion recap: who actually said I do, who was a HARD NO, and why some people still have the ladies asking questions (“Will we ever know who Dave’s sister is?”) Sticking to the TV binge session, SPOILER ALERT, they are recapping the absolute best show on TV (Paradise), breaking down where Season 2 could go, and giving their unfiltered thoughts on Meghan Markle’s return to the screen. Wait, correction, Meghan Sussex. 

Because Instagram ads are dangerous, Katie talks about her latest no-shampoo hairbrush experiment (BIF SHOPPING WIN), and how sometimes those Instagram impulse buys will get you. The ladies have big plans this weekend to see a comedian and Katie has no idea who is, let's see what they think when they come back on the pod next week. 

Grab your wine, walk your dog, whatever is your favorite way to listen, and join the conversation. 

This week, Katie and Meko are serving up all the tea, trends, and tips to get you ready for spring! First, Meko recaps her 15th year at Cougarpalooza in Deer Valley (legendary), while Katie breaks down her very simple weekend.

Then, it’s celebrity gossip time—the Oscars, Wicked movie hype, and the latest red-carpet moments (ummmmm- worth watching or snooze fest?). They deep-dive into red carpet fashion, Zoe Saldana, Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo, Lupita Nyong’o, and Halle Berry, plus the Alix Earle vs. Alex Cooper drama, Gene Hackman’s passing, and the Gabby Petito documentary. Oh, and did you hear Katy Perry is literally going to space? (The rocket design? Questionable.)

Next up—Netflix obsession: Love Is Blind. They break down all the messy relationships, Dave’s post-breakup regret (and sister issues), is Virginia really all in, and whether Joey actually wants to marry Monica. Who’s making it to the altar? Predictions are in.

And since spring break is coming, they talk workouts, fashion must-haves, and if they’re finally getting enough protein (spoiler: probably not). Plus, a runway-worthy fashion trend breakdown straight from Harper’s Bazaar—fringe, plaid, denim, mod ‘60s vibes, and the controversial “dress over pants” look.

Wine, conversation chaos, and questionable life choices—just another week with your favorite duo!

This week, Katie and Meko are shaking things up—literally!  They’re joined by their favorite Midland bartender Mitch, who’s mixing up three killer cocktails while spilling all the industry secrets. From what makes a great bartender to bartender red flags, he’s giving the inside scoop on what to order, what not to order, and the drinks every home mixologist should master. 

Then, the real tea—Love Is Blind. Not only did Mitch actually watch before coming on the pod (true commitment), but he also agrees—Katie & Meko would make WAY better hosts. (Petition pending.) And, of course, the Blake & Justin saga makes its way into the convo (because we simply can’t let it go). 

By the end of this episode, you’ll know exactly how to order the best drinks, what bartenders really think about your order, and why we’ll never trust a cocktail, that’s all hype.  

Cheers, and sip responsibly!  

This week, Katie and Meko are diving into the wild world of con artists and imposters, inspired by the jaw-dropping docuseries Apple Cider Vinegar and Scamanda. But first, a little weekend recap—Meko had a chef’s dinner, Katie spent the weekend at the hockey rink and Bulldog Day, and of course, they have to discuss Ryan Reynolds & Blake Lively and the SNL 50th anniversary special. 

Then, it’s scammer deep dive time—why are we so obsessed with fraudsters? From Anna Delvey and Elizabeth Holmes (The Dropout) to the crazy woman who needed to fake cancer to get attention, these con artists are shameless. The ladies break down how they got away with it, why people keep falling for these scams, and most importantly—could they have been tricked, too?  

In Apple Cider Vinegar, we meet Belle Gibson —woman who literally faked cancer to build social media empire. And in Scamanda, Amanda Riley pulled off an even bigger fake illness scheme. How did she manipulate so many people so well? And why do these scams thrive on social media? 

Pour a drink and get ready! 

This week, we are beyond excited to welcome the incredibly talented Jodi Bromley to the pod! She’s turning vintage luxury into stunning, sustainable jewelry, and we’re getting the inside scoop on her creative process, where she discovers designer treasures, and, of course, her serious coat obsession. 

Jodi also reminds us of an important fashion rule: Dress for yourself, not for others. So naturally, we’re now fully committed to rocking all the jewels, fur, and leather—just to go to the grocery store. And yes, we might even take a joyride on those furry motorized animals at the mall food court. 

Of course, no episode is complete without a little pop culture tea—and we had to get Jodi’s take on the Blake & Justin drama. (Another one for Team Justin?! Yikes.) Plus, she fits right in with some real talk on empty nesting, friendships, and marriage. 

We’re already counting down the days until we have her back—this episode is a must-listen!  

This week, Katie and Meko are covering everything—from hot yoga struggles to a girls' night in Birmingham, plus all the Grammy moments: killer performances, snubs, and did the right people actually win? And of course, they drop their Super Bowl predictions (because we all know it’s about the halftime show and snacks). 

Katie is gearing up for her New York trip, while Meko chats about date night with Randy—and even calls him mid-episode as her official “phone-a-friend.” Meanwhile, the ladies can’t resist diving into the latest Blake & Justin drama (because duh), and they’re already planning their next concerts and comedy nights. 

Then, things take a turn into jury duty nightmares, wild documentaries, and whether Meko can convince Katie to survive the Grand Canyon Rim-to-Rim hike (spoiler: doubtful). They also touch on HRT, fasting, and supplements—but let’s be real, they need experts to break it all down, so stay tuned for that. 

Grab a glass, settle in, and enjoy the chat—you know you love it!

Hello and Happy Monday! Katie and Meko are shaking things up this week, they’re sipping Champs and attempting fine art (aka painting each other’s portraits) while diving into all things pop culture. 

They’re breaking down the Grammys (snubs? Surprises? Or do they not even know who anyone is?), debating if the Chiefs vs. Eagles Super Bowl was rigged, and spilling the latest tea from Midland Complains—their town’s chaotic Facebook drama hub. 

Once the “masterpieces” are done, they shift gears to the new book club pick, Society of Lies, dissect 2025 fashion trends (barrel jeans still won’t die, and finger toe shoes are somehow a thing?! NO.), and serve up the usual mix of hot takes, laughter, and very important life discussions. 

So pour a glass of bubbly, settle in, and join the fun—you know you love it!  

Listen, here’s the thing……… 

Meko landed from Napa just as Katie took off for Vegas, but nothing stops these two from delivering the off-the-rails, never-fact-checked, completely biased conversations you know and love. 

Meko shares the details on her wine-tasting adventures, which somehow ended with a birthday trip to a Korean spa. Meanwhile, Katie—still recovering from a mezcal-fueled evening—can’t keep a straight thought or stop mixing up and movie roles they signed on for. (Blame the mezcal, not her.) 

Naturally, there's a Blake vs. Justin debate, but just when Katie starts leaning Team Justin, their favorite lawyer friend flips the script. The drama continues, and they can’t wait to see how it all unfolds. 

Plus: Housewives reunion updates, a dive into mediums and fortune tellers, and plenty of laughs to keep you entertained for a full hour with your favorite chatty duo.  

Meko’s birthday is coming up and Katie is planning a party, and she also has a new snack obsession from her trip to Traverse City! This episode is packed with everything from weekend recaps to the Landman finale, plus a deep dive into breast health (because they’re responsible like that). 

Super Dave—Listen, Here’s the Thing’s #1 fan and Katie’s dad—joins Katie and Meko to share his thoughts on the podcast, his fitness journey, and his strong opinions on what topics he could do without. They also discuss what he never knew about his daughter till the podcast, sauna blankets, and whether or not he would accidentally join a cult with Katie (spoiler: probably). Plus, the big question—does the Illuminati really exist?  

Get ready for some laughs, questionable decisions, and the kind of unfiltered conversations you’ve come to expect.  Super Dave brings dad humor and old man opinions to the pod.
