What a way to wrap up the season! In this special season finale of The Sispatch, we're celebrating National Cheesecake Day in style and welcoming an incredible guest (and our baby cousin), Janelle, a beloved Twitch streamer known for her knack in first-person shooters like Call of Duty and her spontaneous IRL streams.

Grab a snack and settle in because in this tasty episode of The Sispatch, Bevin and Jasmine are dishing out their foodie confessions and daring to try some eyebrow-raising combos! As we wind down for a quick podcast break, we're looking back at our epicurean escapades—from epic food comas and dodging the stomach flu to splurging at a fancy Michelin-star restaurant.

Join Bevin and Jasmine in this heartwarming yet hilariously candid episode of The Sispatch as we dive deep into our current obsessions, childhood predictions, and those special, if not slightly awkward, sibling moments.

We kick things off with a look back at what we thought each other would become—Bevin envisioned Jasmine twirling as a dancer or whipping up delicacies as a chef, while Jasmine... well, let's just say she was less sure about Bevin's future path.

Expect a bit of sibling tea as we recount the tale of Jasmine's first period and Bevin's, shall we say, less-than-stellar support. We'll also cover our shared love for movies, musicals, true crime, and those long summer days spent swimming and making friends with stray cats.

Don't miss our walk down memory lane filled with fashion missteps, fears of the dark, and favorite comfort foods. We wrap up with a rapid-fire question round that’s sure to reveal more than a few surprises.

Tune in for a dose of nostalgia, laughs, and a reminder of the importance of patience and understanding between siblings.

We'll discuss how our relationships and priorities have evolved over time, the unique challenges we've faced while navigating adulthood, and answer a question from one of our listeners (hi Mom!) about whether our relationship is better or worse as adults and if we still get on each other's nerves (spoiler alert: yes, all the time).
