We almost didn't get this episode off the ground because Jocó was traumatized by getting a new iPhone, but we eventually made it around to arguing about bands that we just don't "get" and probably never will. Then we get newsy and lament the sad state of local journalism. We grew up watching the 6 o'clock news and grabbing the local daily off the front porch, so it's hard to wrap our brains around how to rebuild this much-needed part of civic life. Get ready to cross the Borderline with a lively discussion about our go-to karaoke songs. You'll be particularly impressed by John's choice...bay-bee.

Because she just can't get enough, our producer digs deeper with a pop question for us. Take a trip down memory lane as we recall our favorite childhood candy and realize that, despite our shared GenX upbringing, we can still surprise each other with something as simple as smashing a frozen Charleston Chew. Sweet dreams, everyone!

Since our audience demands to know "Why in the hell are you even doing this?" we take few minutes to discuss how the pod got started and the importance of being intentional about life-long friends staying connected. Then, since Thanksgiving is right around the corner, we get "side" tracked with foods that we all enjoy seeing at our holiday feasts. And although none of us will be accused of being fashionistas, that doesn't stop us from having some strong opinions about fashion trends that people our age should avoid, including those tech bro vests (unless they're made from real gorilla chests). We wrap up with a quick review of the R-rated movies we snuck into during our misspent youth.
