Jake casually announces that he might be headed to the 2028 LA Olympics… for handball… a sport he fully admits he doesn’t understand. Naturally, the group has questions. Meanwhile, Madi kicks off the year realizing her spending habits need serious intervention, while Avani casually reveals the ultimate life hack: letting her mom move her money into accounts she can’t touch so she doesn’t accidentally spend it.

Then it’s time for DMs, and this is where things get real. The crew reads listener messages and gives the best advice they can — honest, unfiltered, and based on real experience, not perfect answers. They talk through competitive friendships disguised as “support,” what it feels like to shrink yourself to keep the peace, and how to protect your confidence when someone close to you turns everything into a comparison.

Equal parts humor, perspective, and tough love — the kind of advice you’d get from friends who actually care, even if it’s uncomfortable to hear.
