Run Time: ~50 min
Theme: Super Bowl reactions, Facebook fights, Waffle House heartbreak, chaotic sports parenting, government waste, and a jaw-dropping AITA.

🎧 In This Episode:

It’s a full-blown circus this week as Stefanie and Meredith break down the Super Bowl halftime drama, social media meltdowns, and why Kendrick Lamar’s jeans deserve their own discussion thread. Things heat up fast with a parenting sports story that includes an imposter athletic director and a crowd that nearly turned into a riot. Add in the shocking government spending reports, a viral Pakistan-to-Dubai update, and a grandma with an OnlyFans… and you’ve got a rollercoaster episode you won’t want to miss.

💬 Topics Covered:

🏈 Super Bowl Breakdown:

• Eagles domination, Chiefs disappointment, and yes… Patrick Mahomes’ meme face.
• Facebook wars over the halftime show and Kendrick Lamar’s deep symbolism vs. casual fans wanting pure entertainment.

🥚 Waffle House Charges Extra for Eggs?!

• The girls weigh in on the 50-cent-per-egg “surge charge.” Justice for breakfast lovers!

🎤 Halftime Show Hot Takes:

• Dissecting the cultural messaging, surprise guests (hello, Serena & DJ Mustard?), and whether SZA brought the vibe down—or just shifted it.

🏀 AITA: The Fake Athletic Director Incident:

• Meredith’s encounter with a man impersonating a school official at a heated high school basketball game.
• Escalating chaos, kids flipping off players, and the adults who definitely should have known better.

💸 Government Spending Gone Wild:

• From $250 million for unused Afghan roads to $47K for a transgender opera in Colombia, the duo reacts to outrageous (alleged) foreign aid expenditures.
• Plus: Chelsea Clinton’s rumored $84 million paycheck and why the Department of USAID is under fire.

📺 True Crime & Pop Culture Quick Hits:

• Netflix’s Apple Cider Vinegar (based on Belle Gibson's health fraud scandal)
• Celebrity gossip: Is Blake Lively secretly a mean girl? And is Ryan Reynolds… not so nice?

📚 Book Club Mini Review – Every Last Fear by Alex Finlay

• College kid. Family found dead in Mexico. Secrets, murder, and a wrongful conviction.

🎧 In This Episode:

Stefanie and Meredith get real about body image, weight struggles, and trying compounded Ozempic (with a side of food noise freedom and stomach pain). Then they dive into parenting bittersweetness, from college scheduling to mature teen decisions. But don’t worry—it’s not all feelings. They bring the fire with viral TikTok recaps, insane government spending exposés, and an unforgettable AITA wedding guest scandal.

Theme: Real talk about midlife changes, grief, weight loss, parenting grown kids, TikTok chaos, and the viral video that launched 90 million laughs.

🎧 In This Episode:

This week’s episode is nothing short of wildly unfiltered brilliance. Stefanie and Meredith sit down with the hilarious Tracy Chisholm—TikTok creator, storyteller, former attorney, and the internet’s favorite "Bob from Accounting." From surviving hysterectomies and night sweats to losing 80 pounds after grief flipped her world upside down, Tracy shares everything with brutal honesty and biting humor.

You’ll laugh, you’ll probably cry, and you’ll never forget the phrase: “White people smell like bologna.”

Hosts: Stefanie Navarro & Meredith Hill
Run Time: ~60 min
Theme: TikTok bans, conspiracy theories, impulsive shopping logic, Super Bowl lawsuits, cultural revelations, and a book club read that wrecked us in the best way.

🎧 In This Episode:

It’s chaos as usual under the big top. Stefanie and Meredith dive into the brief TikTok blackout, share what they’ve learned exploring RedNote (China’s version of TikTok), and unpack how Congress’s shady stock connections are fueling the app wars. Then it’s a classic Girl Math vs. Logic bro-down that leaves one AITA guy sounding real bitter about his wife’s sales strategy. They close things out with a raw, emotional breakdown of Catch the Sun—a rollercoaster of trauma, healing, and the power of complicated love.

💬 Topics Covered:

📵 TikTok Ban? Not So Fast…
– How Congress may be profiting off the ban, and what shady connections Meta, Google, and Amazon have to the vote.
– RedNote (aka “China’s TikTok”) has become an unexpected cultural exchange and chaotic rabbit hole.

💸 Girl Math vs. Husband Logic – AITA Edition
– If you saved $100 on a $200 dress… did you just spend $100 or SAVE $100?
– One husband’s outrage sparked a hilarious (and totally valid) defense of Girl Math. Spoiler: We’re Team Wife.

🌏 Cultural Misconceptions, Language Learning & Food Revelations
– What Americans are discovering about China, RedNote etiquette, and real Chinese food (hint: it’s not General Tso’s).
– Also, is it a requirement to post pet pics on command? Cat tax is real.

🎤 Super Bowl + Music Industry Drama
– Drake files a lawsuit over Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” and its artwork.
– Could the NFL and Universal Music Group get dragged into a major legal mess?

📺 What We’re Watching:
– Upcoming Diddy documentaries
– 50 Cent’s rumored tell-all
– Reactions to James English’s podcast and the Beckham affair episode (plus bonus Scottish accent confusion)

📚 Book Club – Catch the Sun by Jennifer Hartmann
– A YA-leaning novel that felt anything but young.
– Heartbreak, trauma, childhood friendship, survival, and a twin brother betrayal that rocked us.
– Deep themes: wrongful conviction, grief, and what healing really looks like.
– Final rating: 8–9/10 — we felt this one.

📖 Next Week’s Read:
The Drowning Woman by Robyn Harding – A woman tries to end her life… and what follows is a tangled mess of abuse, manipulation, and a chilling escape plot.
