Before there were strong opinions, hot takes, and Our Biased Opinion segments… there was this episode.

While Katie and Meko take a little Christmas break, we’re rewinding to our very first episode. The one that started it all.

Katie and Meko ease in with some small talk before Meko comes in hot (as she does) breaking down Harrison Butker’s controversial graduation speech. With two very different paths, Meko working full-time and Katie spending years at home raising her daughter, they dive into a shared belief: every woman deserves an identity outside the home, whatever that looks like for her.

They also get into The Idea of You the book vs. the movie starring Anne Hathaway, and ask the real question: could either of them actually date a younger man?

The episode wraps with rapid-fire questions that give you an early peek at their dynamic, opinions, and chemistry.

If you’re a longtime listener, this one’s a fun throwback to where it all began.

If you’re new here....welcome. This is your origin story.

Happy Holidays, and we’ll see you in the new year

The ladies are back and catching up after the weekend!

Katie spent some quality time with her college bestie and her adorable kiddos, while Meko finally made her way to a local museum (and of course has thoughts).

Between stories and laughs, they dive into how to dodge holiday burnout before it hits, how to prep for Thanksgiving without losing your mind, and what makes those ride-or-die friendships last through every season of life.

And don’t skip the Biased Opinion segment this week, it’s one for the books.

So grab your wine, hit play, and cheers to the madness of the holidays and the friends who keep us sane.
