There are good ships, wood ships, ships that sail the sea...but the best ships are friendships and may they always be. This episode is one big tribute to those who got us here! Friendship can be tricky, but man is it worth it. From the tricky beginnings, to exploring its depth to sometimes parting ways, the journey of platonic love is full of lessons. Join us this week as we reflect on those crazy individuals who chose us just as much as we chose them and what these bonds continue to teach us!

Weed, Mary Jane, Pot...The Devil's Lettuce. She goes by many names, but whatever you call her, her reputation precedes her. In this episode, we’re talking all things green—first times, bad highs, good vibes, freak-outs, and the ever-evolving role this little plant has played in our lives. This isn’t a PSA or a deep dive into policy. It’s just real talk about growing up with (and around) weed, how our feelings about it have changed, and how it feels when the thing that once got you grounded is now sold in fancy boutiques.

Navigating family is hard enough—add politics to the mix, and it’s a full-blown emotional obstacle course. This week, the duo dives into what happens when party lines cross personal lines. From setting boundaries to dealing with generational divides, we’re talking about how (and if) to keep the peace when values clash at the dinner table.

Let’s talk about hookup culture—where the only thing more confusing than the apps is everyone’s intentions. We’re unpacking the highs, lows, and “what even was that?” moments of modern intimacy, from ghosting to one-night stands. It’s messy, it’s chaotic, and yes, we’re oversharing.
