This week, Courtney and Whitney welcome a sister duo who might just be their comedy soulmates—Eden and Renny Grinshpan. Eden—Top Chef Canada host, food blogger of Eden Eats, and author of her newest cookbook Tahini Baby—joins alongside her younger sister Renny, a creative director and content creator living in Tel Aviv. Together, they bring Big Sister Energy, nonstop laughs, and some truly iconic family stories.
The woman behind all the fun is their beloved Momma Riva. Her lemon olive chicken was a star dish during dinner time, but the real entertainment was the sing along and dance party that Eden, Renny and their sister Arielle had each evening. From her 40 garlic clove brisket (yes, she counts them) to bringing the girls homemade cheesecake to their sleepaway camp, Momma Riva clearly shaped the sisters' love for food and family.
You’ll hear how Eden’s culinary journey started with Toblerone shortbread cookies and a serious Food Network obsession—and how Renny (allegedly) came up with the name Tahini Baby over pizza in Italy. The sisters also break down Momma Riva’s signature cocktail (straight tequila, rocks, extra lime), her best marriage advice after 50 years (spoiler: it starts with sex), and her go-to fever remedy: tea with sugar, stale bread and a cold compress..
Packed with laughs, love, and tahini, this episode is a love letter to food, family, and the glorious mess of sisterhood.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
