A completely different type of guest this week! Brandon Hughes, friend and MLB pitcher, joins us to talk about his journey to the big leagues. We learned so much and had some great conversations. Excited to watch him kill it next season and even more excited to have him back on some day! It's usually "eat em up Tigers" but for today, it's "go cubs go!"

See y'all next week for episode 20!

Liz rejoins us this week with a light hearted, fun and nostalgic episode. We listen to her stories about what it was like to be a rebel child and all her tips and tricks for sneaking out. Don't worry, she grew out of that stage. Thanks for making us laugh and gasp, Lizzy. Come back any time!

Fair warning, we will have A LOT to fact check next week. We also promise to fact check more in real time to better our conversations, opinions and make it an easier listen for you all. 

This week we recap all the birthday and thanksgiving festivities followed by some touchy, controversial topics. This is reminder that regardless of your opinion, there will always be people who think differently than you. This Is For Our Friends is a safe space for opposing opinions and hard topics. We also play smash or pass and it's fun.

Love y'all

Fia and Samir

Bona (Samir's sister) finally joins us on the pod. We were able to talk about so many fun topics from traveling, to motherhood and to the difference between goats and sheep. It's called range. Thank you, Bona, for your vulnerability, your funny and free spirit and for being loving sister to Samir! We love you and can't wait to have you back on!

We are back after a short break! In anticipation for the upcoming holidays we talk about traditions, religions, and how Samir plans to celebrate Christmas for the first time. There is a podcast holiday that we're celebrating too -  Samir's 30th bday. I ask him some questions to give him a moment to reflect on his 30 years of living. 

Happy to be back and glad you're listening. Happy Thanksgiving - see you next week.

Such a fun and authentic episode with our buddy Dom who was an amazing sport when we had technical difficulties not once but TWICE. We had to rerecord 3 times due to some audio issues but that somehow made it that much more fun. We also added the "alternate beginnings" from our video footage to the end of the episode for everyone to enjoy because those convos were fun too!

Lastly, we talk about COVID-19 pandemic so I wanted to give a trigger warning to those who might've been impacted by it more than others. Shout out to Dom, one of our heroes during that time.

Happy belated Halloween!! Our conversations move from what Halloween costumes we wore as a kid to our biggest insecurities. Thanks for listening and we will see you next week!

A complete surprise to you and us on our guest this week. Robert REJOINS the podcast for the second time with a ton of banter. P.S. the boys are a few shots deep and it gets silly, messy and funny.

Nik really knocked our socks off. The stories were as top notch as the person. Get ready to hear about a boys journey to America, his "affair" with his teacher and all the times he's been busted by the law. Love you Nik!!!

Can't thank our friends/family enough for coming on, talking to us and sharing their stories, whether they're funny, serious, or anything in between.
