We begin by honoring and remembering their dear friend Jon Absey, the original Utah Jazz Bear, who passed away peacefully in his sleep after battling pancreatic cancer. Jon was only 58 years old, and to know him was to love him. He was one of the kindest, most selfless people you could ever meet, and his impact on this community runs deep. We reflect on who Jon was, the love he gave so freely, and the sadness of losing someone far too soon.

From there, the conversation turns personal as we talk about tattoos—why Jess has several, why Frankie only has two, and the deeper meanings behind each one.

We also discuss the concerning and ongoing situation involving Savannah Guthrie’s mother, Nancy Guthrie, who has gone missing in Tucson, Arizona. At 84 years old and of sound mind, the circumstances surrounding her disappearance are troubling, especially as her home has become a crime scene. We talk through what’s known so far and why it’s weighing so heavily on so many people following the story.

And yes—we also touch on some lighter moments, including thoughts on the Grammys, because sometimes that’s how real conversations go: grief, concern, reflection, and moments of pop culture all living in the same space.

🤍 For Jon. Always loved. Always remembered.
