It’s like meeting your friends, fun and comfy.
I enjoy the banter between Sam and Lisa. It’s honest and hilarious. They say what others may be thinking. I look forward to the next episode.
these 2 are a hoot, I laugh so much….
Sorry, I can’t handle how “extra”, opinionated and know it all one of the ladies is and the other just laughs. There’s really no substance for me, like I was expecting in this show. I’m unfollowing and won’t hear their reviews review! Just my opinion, we don’t have to agree.
If I was at a party and these two were carrying on about sports, the weather and how much they like barbecued chicken, I’d excuse myself and look for someone else to talk to - someone funnier and with more wit, insight and individuality. In a nutshell, I was bored stupid.

Two long-time friends with a no-filter approach deliver rapid-fire banter, riffing on midlife, Gen X nostalgia, and pop culture. Episodes weave personal stories with sharp takes on everyday life, family, relationships, and current events, all delivered with warmth, humor, and a healthy dose of self-deprecation. The dynamic between the hosts—full of affection, cheeky heckling, and candid opinions—drives a light, relatable conversation that often pivots to audience participation, sponsors, and playful challenges. The show's charm lies in its approachable, unpolished vibe and the sense that listeners are riding along in a car with two friends who treat weekly topics as fuel for laughter rather than formal discussion. This mix of friendship, hu... more
