Rachel comes across a theory about Gatorade flavors that brings up the topic of sick days in childhood. Turns out the experience was very different for both hosts. We also go on a tangent about donuts and a new app Rachel is obsessed with.
Is this episode about the world's two favorite things? Maybe, maybe not, but it's high up there for Jenn. This week we talk about something big in Jenn's live that happened a few years ago that has yet to be discussed on the pod. We also go deep into the best grocery store cookie, the most expensive cookie, and a gross way to eat Oreos. Show notes:
- Last Crumb cookies: https://lastcrumb.com/
Intriguing title, right? This week we dive into a new news headline about "fart walks" (yes, it is what you think it is) and have lots of thoughts! We also discuss the age old question of "if you could know when you would die, would you want to know?" The question stems from a book Rachel is reading called "The Measure" - an interesting thought discussion!

Thank you notes seem to be pretty controversial. Hm, well, maybe just by generation. This episode goes deep into thank you note culture as well as snail mail in general. We discuss when a thank you note is important, how long you should keep them, sending holiday cards (and how long you keep those) and more.
Oh, we also get some more citizen feedback on the right way to do your business in the woods - the more you know!
This title is a little misleading because this episode is actually a catch up between friends and not about ketchup the condiment - but we do mention ketchup so it's not a total lie.
This week we "catch up" on our lives since it's been a while since we've seen each other and lot of things have happened. We also talk about our weekend "vibe" when we're staying in (which is most of the time).
Jenn is about to go ...camping?! We are both as shocked as you are. This week we discuss how she’ll prep, the magic of a campfire chat and lots of other great stuff I can’t remember as I’m typing this so it will be a nice surprise for all of us.
A random news story stirs up an interesting dialog around family “relationships”. It's obviously not okay right...or is it? Also, what is the difference between second cousins and a cousin once removed?
Who is more competitive - Rachel or Jenn? The answer probably doesn’t surprise you. Both hosts have feelings on what defines being too competitive and how that differs from sports, to work, to friendships.
