September 10, 2025 22 - Mariah's Seat, Security Camera Surprises and the Four Pillars of a Great Diner
Another week, another casual couch hang with Jared and Janet. First and foremost the duo discuss a creepy occurrence of Bravo fan's showing up to the Caperna's home (as well as other The Valley cast-members homes). It's bizarre and parasocial! Jared shares his favorite hole in the wall restaurant and Janet defends diner dining and the four pillars of a successful menu. The duo dive into CBS' broadcast of the MTV Video Music Awards and talk all about the movie magic Lady Gaga pulled off for that elaborate performance, the surprise of Doja Cat's opening routine and of course Jared's birthday twin and the last true living diva, Mariah Carey and her absolutely stunning and sedentary performance. Janet also explains why her son has a new nickname and fills Jared on the To Nice/Tunis travel Tik Tok drama.

September 03, 2025 21 - Catfish, Comments & Cancerversary
This week, it’s just Janet and Jared settling in for another kiki. They kick things off by diving into Netflix’s newest true crime documentary, Unknown Number: The High School Catfish. Heads up: spoilers run from the 20-minute mark to the 34-minute mark.

Beyond that, they dive into some unhinged z-list comments on social media and why some people can't help but just rage bait themselves. Jared also opens up about the unique feeling of acknowledging the date of his cancer diagnosis without celebrating it as an anniversary, drawing a parallel to how we navigate grief for lost loved ones.

Finally, they get into a quirky chat about what your first meal out of prison might be—or even a hypothetical last meal on death row. New episodes every Wednesday!

August 27, 2025 20 - Call Up Psychics When You Need Advice: Occam's Razor
Jason rejoins Janet and Jared as they have much to discuss, First time parenting has thrown some curveballs for the Capernas, including an ER visit, but a psychic interaction has put a new perspective on how tight knit their family unit truly is. The trio also ponder the finite (or infinite) number of souls and if being a tree is a paradise or prison. Jared gives an update on dating, after downloading Hinge and letting their in-app AI help with his profile, and the reason he had to unmatch with 8 guys. Rumors are swirling that Sarah Jessica Parker is determined to bring Carrie back to the screen and Jason has some serious thoughts on how a potential new series could erase And Just Like That from our consciousness and the beloved series' canon.

August 20, 2025 19 - Restricted & Removed: girl, you're not hearing me!
It's another goss session with Janet and Jared. First up they simply must discuss their iconic night out with the Dallas Cowboys and Jerry Jones. They ran into Rachel Lindsay which prompts Jared to share his Britney Spears connection to the former Bachelorette star. Janet tells Jared how it felt to chat with her about The Valley. Janet talks about having her IG on lockdown and her simple process of restricting and removing negative followers, and their bizarre reaction to not being able to follow their queen they love to hate. The duo breakdown their issues with the And Just Like That finale, and ponder why there was so much pee and poo whilst saying goodbye to the once beloved characters. Jared shares his theater obsession and the caveat that accompanies any stage show he attends.

August 13, 2025 18 - Happily UnHinged
Jared and Janet have a kiki over Jared's triumphant return to the world of online dating. He shares the secrets of his profile and reveals how Hinge's new ChatGPT like feature is elevating profiles of even the most verbose of suitors. Staying on topic, the duo ponder the disappointing dating app statistics, swiping fatigue and the Paradox of Choice (perhaps there can be too many fish in the sea?). Jared gives Janet and listeners insight into his southern evangelical Christian upbringing and how a lot of college and a little coastal elitism changed the trajectory of him and his family's lives. The besties also discuss Abby Lee Miller, star of Dance Moms (and former prisoner), who is once again making the viral rounds for her infamous trip to Baskin Robbins.

Jared spills some tea about the star of the hit show 'Outlander' and who the single actor was extra chatty with at the premiere (hint: she's a hot friend). Jason shares his reaction to the loss of the Max Original that America loves to hate, while still holding hope for a follow up down the road. Janet takes a brief moment to discuss her reaction to the reunion and what's next. The trio talk Happy Gilmore, the power of nostalgia and take a detour into Janet's algorithm of RVs and hot men using their hands.
