If you love 90s pop-culture, boy bands and if you are a proud elder-millennial, this pod is for you! My weekly reminder that it’s ok to be dumb and busy and that life is about the accumulation of memories!

Sexiest Podcast A-LIVE! FROM VICTORIA! w/Jay Malinowski
Q: When you were younger, what were some fun perks for your jobs?

A HOUSE DIVIDED (ft. Blue Jays vs Dodgers, Jessi vs Evan, Katy and Justin, Jeremy Allen White & Halloween!!)

It's a silly question; our marriage isn't defined by our sports fandom.

Yes, only if they understand that the other person wasn't getting what they needed from them.
Feel This Moment w/ Chantal Kreviazuk LIVE!

That’s (too) Hot (ft. The Emmys, Paris Hilton, Avril Lavigne, Coachella & Taylor Swift vs Blake Lively)
Q: What is it like watching your high school friends win Emmys?
It's surreal and makes me reflect on how far we've come, especially since some of them were just regular kids when I knew them.
