Because yens liked it so well… we thought we’d throwback to it while we’re busy building our YouTube!

We’re breaking down the unspoken rules of the gas station—pump hogs, snack choices, bathroom nightmares, and everything in between. Join Thomas and Sierra as they ask the real question: is there REALLY such a thing as “normal” gas station etiquette?

Happy Holidays!!! It’s the finale of our Favorite Things series, and we’re ending on a high note — music. 🎶

In this episode, we’re talking about the songs, artists, and sounds that have shaped us, comforted us, hyped us up, and lived rent-free in our heads for years. From throwback favorites to current obsessions, we dig into why certain music sticks with us and how it becomes the soundtrack to different seasons of life. Expect nostalgia, strong opinions, and the kind of musical tangents you’d only have with friends who really love music.

Press play and join us as we wrap up the series the only way that makes sense — with music we really… love.

Happy Holidays, from the Really Pod!

Grab your popcorn and settle in for a cinematic stroll through your hosts’ favorite flicks.

🚗 This week on really… Sierra finally turns the spotlight on Michael-Thomas’ lifelong obsession: cars. From childhood dream machines to the vehicles that shaped his milestones, MT opens up about what driving, design, and horsepower mean to him.

Sierra takes the interviewer’s seat to dig into the stories behind his favorites, the cars he still wishes he owned, and why four wheels can hold so much personality. It’s nostalgic, funny, a little nerdy, and full of surprises.

Buckle up — this ride is all about passion, memories, and the things that keep MT’s engine humming.

It’s turkey time, y’all! In this first episode of a two-part really... Thankful series, Sierra and Michael-Thomas look back on Thanksgivings past — the good, the bad, the awkward, and maybe even the ugly. From family traditions to food fails, we’re serving up stories and laughter that pair perfectly with a second helping of mashed potatoes.

Is cursive REALLY dead… or just resting? This week we’re joined by Ms. Amber, a brilliant high school educator who lives at the front lines of pens, pixels, and teenage opinions. Expect honest stories, a few hot takes, and practical ideas for parents, teachers, and anyone who’s ever argued about “proper” handwriting. Spoiler: it’s complicated—and kind of fun.

A huge thank you to our very special guest, Amber Davis!

This week, Sierra’s out of town — but the coffee’s still hot and the conversation’s flowing! Michael-Thomas is joined by longtime friend and fellow community theatre actor Elizabeth, a true Gilmore Girls expert. Together, they dive into Stars Hollow nostalgia, favorite fast-talking moments, and what makes Lorelai and Rory’s world so timeless.
