  • She's Cleaning Up Her Act
    22 Sep 2026

    Dana is on a healthy-living kick—and apparently, no product in her house is safe. In this episode, she shares why she’s swapping out so many of the everyday products she uses, how she’s decided what stays and what goes, and the research behind her choices.

    She brought along a whole collection of her favorite finds to explain what they are, what they’re for, and why she likes them. Is she a professional? Absolutely not. Does she know all the right lingo? Also no. But she’s done a whole lot of research, and she definitely knows the “why” behind every swap.

    If you’ve ever wondered where to begin—or felt completely overwhelmed by the idea of changing everything—this episode is a fun, realistic look at making healthier choices one product at a time.

  • He Came Dressed for the Occasion
    15 Sep 2026

    Apparently, Cam Bonger has been waiting since the beginning of What Are the Pickles For? for his invitation to be a guest. Well, his time has finally come.

    Kayla’s husband joins us to tell his side of the story—from how he and Kayla met to what life looks like these days, plus the story behind Bonger Contracting, his business specializing in home inspection repairs and those projects that need to get done before (or after!) closing.

    We talk marriage, work, real estate, and plenty of things we didn’t plan to talk about.

    And for reasons we still don’t completely understand, Cam also showed up dressed like a cowboy.

    Honestly, it feels right that we made him wait this long. 🥒

  • Miles, Mountains, and Mildly Bad Ideas
    8 Sep 2026

    Cody joins us this week, and naturally, we end up talking about all the mildly questionable decisions that have somehow turned into some of our best memories. We’re covering what it was like growing up together, what life looks like now that Cody has a family and two kids, and the ridiculous amount of adventuring we’ve done along the way.

    Think camper van trips out West, more hikes than we can count, Machu Picchu, bungee jumping in Australia, scuba diving, mountains, travel chaos, and a whole lot of “this seemed like a good idea at the time.”

    Turns out, sibling bonding looks a lot like miles, mountains, and mildly bad ideas.
