We’re back after an actual break (missed a week, missed posting—life happens!). Leslie shares her daughter’s first day of school, Ramelle’s kids head back after a sweet summer, and Leslie sneaks in a lightning-fast trip to Marfa to scout retreat vibes from DFW to the desert. Ramelle finally figures out what the Marfa lights are, Leslie sells us on Balmorhea State Park, and we marvel at how different West Texas feels from home.
Then, party tea: Leslie’s First Ever Dance Party in Fort Worth starts with some less-than-gracious guests (pizza-gate), but ends with everyone having a blast. Ramelle takes her kids to Schlitterbahn and is floored by the $160-per-person fast pass.
Pop culture check-in: Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson? We talk her natural look vs. 90 Day Fiancé’s Darcey & Stacey, plus the South Park episode where Kristi Noem goes full villain. Ramelle reflects on the freedom of aging as a woman, shares a Christine Baranski TikTok, and reminds us that life keeps getting better.
In What Are We Into?: Ramelle’s family binge-watches the new season of Wednesday, her son swears the Addams Family is peaking now (we say the ‘90s had it beat), and Leslie is living for her TikTok Shop African net sponge.
This week’s Triple Dipper: Top 3 Things We Missed while we took our pre–back-to-school break. We missed you too—Woo Woo Woo!

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
