March 26, 2026 Wrestlemania Explained & A Survivor 50 Check in
Sophia Wilson Pelton and Jacquis Neal bring two very different fandoms to bed: WrestleMania season and Survivor.

What You'll Hear

The Main Event: Jacquis walks Sophia through the deliciously dramatic road to WrestleMania, from legendary heels and babyfaces to the very real appeal of wrestling as theater with body slams. It’s part soap opera, part spectacle, and apparently part contract-signing betrayal.

Josh Gondelman and KP Parker swap grievances for gratitudes, from post-trip unpacking wins to the tiny delights of urban wildlife.

What You'll Hear

Fresh Start Energy: Josh and KP ease into the evening by talking about small life upgrades that feel oddly huge, like using an extra hour well or finally putting the suitcase away for real.

Bedroom Energy: Niccole shares her feng shui approach to sleep, from bed placement to keeping the bedroom screen-free.

Would You Rather: The group tackles a deceptively deep question: would you rather speak every language or communicate with animals? That opens the door to chatty birds, rude cats, dog diplomacy, and the possibility that some pets are a lot more judgmental than they look.
