Show Notes

In this riot of an episode, Tamara dives headfirst (and wrist-first, unfortunately) into the saga of her latest athletic misadventure. Picture this: a tale of bravery, folly, and a wrist that's seen better days. Rheannon, ever the sage, swoops in with remedies that sound more like ancient witchcraft than actual medical advice. Tamara, in her infinite wisdom, tries to dodge these mystical cures, forgetting that Rheannon is practically a wizard in a lab coat.

Then, we slide into a post-Super Bowl world where the snack bowls were as empty as the promises of healthy eating everyone made. The group chat's stress levels were higher than the scores, with Tamara possibly setting a new record for most emojis sent in a state of panic.

As if that's not enough, Rheannon's on a quest to revolutionize sleep in her household, introducing a schedule that's met with enthusiasm ranging from "meh" to "you've got to be kidding me." It's like herding cats, if the cats were insomniacs with a Netflix addiction.

And because we're gluttons for punishment, Tamara trudges through her reviews of Oscar-nominated films, where Rheannon's tolerance for chase scenes is tested. Spoiler alert: it doesn't take much. One car chase, and it's all tumbling downhill faster than you can say "cut!" Just like this episode, which might just be our wildest ride yet. Buckle up, folks—it's going to be a bumpy, hilarious descent!
