We got a little serious this week. Oklahoma ranks among the hungriest states in the nation, and with SNAP benefits suspended, we’re talking food insecurity and how to help. (Spoiler: it doesn’t take much to make a difference.)
Then things take a turn... Rachael’s obsessed with a band that has a grillmaster on stage throwing foil-wrapped hot dogs into the crowd. Jeff’s also deep into My Mom Jane on HBO with Mariska Hargitay which led to Rachael admitting she’s never seen a single episode of Law & Order: SVU. Two decades late to the “dun-dun.”
Meanwhile, Rachael’s best friend keeps FaceTiming her with a box on her head... because, of course, she does.
Oh, and apparently, Halloween is now the loneliest holiday? Which means single season officially runs October through February. Cool cool cool. And finally… Jeff’s on a winning streak. (Technically. Barely. Two in a row still counts.)
Our intern Abbi’s back, and she might just be the reigning queen of DIY Halloween costumes. (We’re talking grapes, a fish in a bowl, and even a full-on hot air balloon.) Jeff’s rant on bad costumes really backfired.
It’s spooky season, which means Rachael’s diving into horror movies she’s somehow never seen before. Then we discuss odd things we find attractive - Jeff’s into older women, Abbi agrees, and Rachael’s just hoping she’s still someone’s type.We also discover something new about the Skydance Bridge at Scissortail Park... apparently, it has a butt?!
Plus, Rachael shares the story of one wildly passionate Thunder fan, and Abbi is taking her Christmas list to a new level.
Rachael’s confidence takes a hit when her niece does a school report on the best places in Oklahoma… and picks Waffle House. Meanwhile, Jeff’s learning there are bats in Oklahoma (?!), and Rachael’s coming to terms with her upgrade from puma to cougar status.Then we get into the big questions: Is it weird for a funeral home to decorate for Halloween? Rachael’s hooked on the YouTube channel VHSdates (because apparently the dating pool hasn’t changed since 1992), and we debate sandwich strategy. Is “last bite, best bite” a real thing? And do chips taste better if you open the bag from the bottom?Plus, get to know us as we get to know each other with another round of Do Your Hosts Even Know Each Other?
This week, Rachael ruins Hozier’s Too Sweet forever (you'll never un-hear it), and Jeff reveals his high school teacher’s disturbing habit - eating tape?!
We also talk kid-size clothes hacks for adults, what's coming up at the OKC Zoo, and... is Gen Z calling groups "mommies" now?
Plus, break out your sad trombone for our game showdown!
Jeff is on a roll this week - three rants! From overly complicated password requirements to why The Summer I Turned Pretty is suddenly everywhere, to the nightmare that is people who don’t know how to merge. Buckle up!Meanwhile, Rachael needs some wedding etiquette advice. If you’re shelling out for travel, hotels, and helping in the wedding, do you still have to buy a gift?Then it’s round two of “Do Your Hosts Even Know Each Other?” We go head-to-head answering the real questions: our Wi-Fi names, our first concerts, and the very last things we Googled.
Jeff’s living every shopper’s dream - his package got sent to the wrong house, the company re-shipped it, and then the neighbor brought the original back. So now he has two. Is it a blessing or low-key stealing if he keeps them both?
Meanwhile, Rachael is ditching social media and cozying up with the most random lineup of ‘90s TV nostalgia - Empty Nest, Parker Lewis Can’t Lose, and Dinosaurs.
Jeff takes a trip down memory lane at his old high school and is suddenly wondering how to land himself in the Hall of Fame. (Do we start a petition? We think so.)
And of course, we put our friendship to the test again with another round of Do Your Co-Hosts Even Know Each Other?
This week’s episode is full of surprising agreements - yes, Jeff actually agrees with a few of Rachael's hot takes. Lunch for breakfast? Absolutely. Spooky season decorations in September? Correct. And sorry pumpkin spice, apple is the real fall MVP.
Of course, we've also got rants. Jeff tries to wrap his head around why Owen from our sister station 93.3 JakeFM is mad at Kirk Herbstreit for bringing his dog to work (jealousy, maybe?) and Rachael questions a company’s plan to flood the world with thousands of AI podcasts daily.
Also, in true late-to-the-trend fashion, Rachael is finally joining the pickleball craze - and she hasn't even injured herself... yet.
Why is everyone so obsessed with the Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce engagement? We try to figure out the fascination. Then, about those engagement photos… gorgeous, yes. Totally staged? Probably.
From there, the conversation takes a hard left into cartoon history: does Fred Flintstone count as a historical figure? Rachael plays a solo round of Normal or Nope... and the results are pretty damning.
And to top it off, we put our friendship to the test (again) with "Do Your Hosts Even Know Each Other?" Spoiler: the results are… inconclusive
This week we’ve got company in the studio - our new intern, Abbi! She’s a born-and-raised Oklahoman, farm girl, and (self-proclaimed) cheese-identifying expert. She’s also a senior at UCO, and we dig into what she loves about her classes, why she’s chasing radio, and what advice she’d give anyone wanting to break into broadcasting.
We also delve into generational phone habits, explore why venting can actually be powerful, and play a best-of-seven game to see if Jeff and Rachael actually know each other as well as they think they do.
This week started with a casual lake day - until Jeff invited us onto the water in a way that sounded like a true-crime podcast opener. Rachael proved she can move at lightning speed... away from fish. Then there was the restaurant experience that left us more confused than full. Plus, women are using Hinge to find a man to build their furniture on the first date. Is that resourceful or a Dateline episode waiting to happen? We talk about a “Home Improvement” reboot. Is it coming back? (No. No, it's not.) Also, what do Guitar Hero, running, and the "Billie Jean" music video have in common? Rachael has some pro tips for ya!
Why do hot men keep shaving their beards? Jason Momoa’s bare face was the last straw for Rachael. Meanwhile, Jeff’s just over here being a full-grown crumb monster. Rachael stayed out way past her bedtime for… Brussels sprouts? School’s back in session, and you know what that means: it’s fundraising season. We love supporting kids, but we don’t want your wrapping paper, candles, or tubs of cookie dough. There has to be a better way, right?Plus, we go head-to-head in a “how well do you know me?” showdown. Who’s been paying attention? (Spoiler: it's not Jeff.)
Are we… too thoughtful? Jeff proposes a new golden rule that could technically be considered (delicious) theft. Rachael’s gone deep into the world of speedrunning. (Yes, she's now emotionally invested in strangers glitching their way through Zelda in record time.)Also, Rachael’s body odor is betraying her in new, horrifying ways. Any medical professionals listening? This one smells clinical. We share some weird encounters with strangers, ponder if we should lower our expectations of others, and ask the big questions we still don’t have answers to.
This week, a cautionary tale in home improvement - Jeff’s wife learns the hard way why “measure twice, cut once” exists. Meanwhile, we swear our studio is haunted (and now we have proof). Jeff gets unreasonably fired up about gas station etiquette. (Like seriously, WHO parks at the pump?!) Rachael celebrates her birthday with a very intimate medical gift and an extremely bougie girls’ night out, complete with espresso martini foam printed with her face. Because who doesn't want to drink their own face?
Rachael’s life is basically pottery, basketball, and birthday candles... so, peak excitement. Jeff, meanwhile, wants to know if taking the long way home to save your sanity is worth it.We also debate the rise of Summerween (because clearly Halloween in July is what we needed) and try Starbucks’ latest creation, the Firework Frappuccino. It’s supposed to capture “summer fun”… whatever that means.Plus, birthdays mean reflection for Rachael, and for Jeff… eh, maybe next year. And we wrap it up with two big questions—who from your past would you want to reconnect with, and what’s something you find way harder than most people do? (Besides everything, obviously.)
Big news for the “I watched TV by turning a dial” crowd - Land of the Lost is getting a Netflix reboot. Congrats to Jeff and the other pre-1980s babies. 🎉 Meanwhile, OKC is buzzing because the Thunder are in the finals. If they win, let’s celebrate responsibly. If they lose... also maybe don’t set things on fire. Just a thought.
Also, the algorithm knows us too well. Jeff’s getting Ring camera fails and oddly satisfying lawn clean-up videos, while Rachael’s feed is just pottery, pottery, and... more pottery. We also talk about the stuff that always makes us laugh (no matter how unhinged), and Rachael finally figured out why it pays to invest in yourself.
This week’s episode is full of unexpected twists, starting with the company in Pennsylvania that wants to fill your holes (don’t worry, we’re talking about potholes). Meanwhile, Rachael had a full-on freakout after discovering a wasp in her bedroom.
We also dive into a surprisingly deep convo: if someone forms a romantic relationship with AI... is that cheating? What does it mean for the future of dating? Plus, we answer two other big questions: What decision would you go back and change? And what are the little things people do for you that mean a lot?
Rachael discovers a surprise wardrobe malfunction and flashes herself in a full-length mirror at work (thankfully no one walked in). She also opens a time capsule of teen angst: a box untouched for 20 years filled with WWE theme music, a Fox Mulder FBI badge, and enough Matthew Lawrence VHS tapes to start a fan club.Meanwhile, Jeff stumbles on a great Father’s Day gift idea - those memory prompt books (you know, the ones that make everyone cry). Rachael defends her intense “bags in bags” system, and we wonder: is joining a senior mobility class at 40 too early… or right on time?Plus: thoughts on sports fan behavior during the NBA Finals, and we dig into two big questions: What’s one small decision that changed your life? And what’s something you wish you could tell someone?
This week, we embrace our pettiest selves - Jeff hit that unfollow button on someone and never looked back, while Rachael’s trivia team jumped ship to a new location (but has anyone even noticed?). We reminisce about the ridiculous site that was Hot or Not and even let ChatGPT give us glow-up tips. Then we dive into your stories about realizing you’re dating a dummy - where’s the line between quirky and a hard pass? Plus, what are we learning to like lately, and what’s something we’ve genuinely been working on? Oh, and we attempted the Sprite Challenge, which is just us drinking soda and burping. It’s not science, but it is satisfying.
This week, we sit down with News 9 meteorologist Lacey Swope, who shares her journey from growing up in the small town of Kiefer, Oklahoma, to becoming one of the most trusted weather experts in the state. Lacey opens up about falling in love at a Rib Crib, her passion for hunting, and how she’s passing that tradition down to her kids. She also discusses a major part of her life that she rarely talks about- homeschooling her children.
We also put Lacey to the test as she judges our craft-off challenge, but let’s just say neither of us will be quitting our day jobs anytime soon.
Lastly, we dive into some thoughtful questions about what we're hopeful about, what we're outgrowing, and what we're letting go of.
Rachael has finished her first pottery course, and this time, she’s brought some… uh, “art" to show off. Plus, ChatGPT roasts us.Oh, and Rachael’s got a medical issue she’s dying to overshare: her tailbone hurts, and the solution involves an awkward ultrasound in a place we can’t unhear. 💀 Meanwhile, we debate the age-old question—does toilet paper go over or under?Also, the official craft challenge is ON: we’re making something out of air clay. Will it be beautiful? Probably not. Will it be judged? Absolutely.And to get a little deep, we’re talking about the last time we felt truly happy and the biggest feelings we’re wrestling with right now.
