No Ordinary Friendship
Welcome to No Ordinary Friendship. Each week, Bay Area best friends Teresa and Emily catch up on pop culture, parenthood, and everything in between. Whether you are an Asian American mom, a lonely millennial, or maybe just miss those lighthearted conversations with friends, tune in for a mental break or at least a few laughs. Recurring topics include skincare (and trying not to age), TikTok, Netflix shows, reality TV, Giggly Squad, Costco fashion, and food prices.
Episodes
This week we dive into Costco Executive memberships, premium credit card fee hikes, and more Love Thy Nader updates from Emily. Plus: dintaifung's unexpected collaboration, and an interesting way to get more iron in your diet.

If you've ever wanted to know about champagne, satanism, the Stonewall Uprising, chaos theory, LSD, El Nino, true crime and Rosa Parks, then look no further. Josh and Chuck have you covered.
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.
