What did you want to be when you grew up — a wrestler, an astronaut, maybe a teacher? In this fun and reflective episode, we dive deep into our childhood dreams and how they’ve changed (or hilariously missed the mark) over time. From Marie’s gymnastics-to-diving journey and Dylan’s daredevil wrestling days — we unpack how our early passions shaped us. Plus, we play “Would Kid Me Approve?” to see if our younger selves would be proud... or mildly horrified. Spoiler: it’s both.
