Episode 14 - Sunburned, Scattered, and Still Fabulous
We’re back, baby—and yes, we remember how to podcast… kind of. In this episode, we’re talking all things summer: the stuff we’re excited for, the weird traditions we can’t quit, and the absolute nonsense that somehow screams “fun in the sun.” From lake day delusions to street traditions and questionable tan lines, we’re listing what’s hot, what’s not, and what needs to be left in last summer’s cooler.
Is it chaotic? Of course. Are we funnier than ever? Also yes.
So grab a cold drink, slather on the SPF, and join us for a summer kickoff you didn’t know you needed.
