  • Do We Love .... Surprises?
    Jan 17 2026

    Did you love that for us?

    Surprise visits, new life, and a four-minute commute that somehow takes five: this one has range in the best way. We kick off with a stealth birthday drop-in that revives a family Starbucks ritual and turns an ordinary Monday into a memory. Then the news lands: a nephew named Charles arrives on the same day, tying names, legacy, and timing into one perfect thread. We talk about why those links matter, and how small traditions—cake pops, nicknames, the right coffee order—carry meaning forward.

    That care extends to what we share online. We draw a firm line on posting baby photos without consent, swapping notes on how creators can stay open without oversharing. It leads to a funny twist: friends and coworkers who only just discovered the show. We finally make the invite explicit—come listen if you want—and unpack the awkwardness of self-promotion in a world that rewards shouting. The vibe is warm, honest, and a little stubborn in the best way.

    Then the Great Sandwich Debate explodes. Is a hot dog a sandwich? What about tacos, pop tarts, or pierogi? With the Sandwich Alignment Chart as our map, we spar between purist and chaotic definitions, and even argue about the right bread for an Italian sub. Food culture spills into memory as we swap pizza favorites and the joy of a family pizzeria where folding boxes felt like belonging. From there, we vent about driving: brake-happy neighbors, regional quirks from Jersey to New Hampshire, and the uneasy truth that maybe we’re just getting older. Gas, hybrid, or electric gets a fair shake, too, grounded in range anxiety and the need to feel in control behind the wheel.

    We wrap with a look at red carpet fashion after J Lo’s viral dress, calling out the odd double standard that celebrates nudity on screen but clutches pearls over sheer gowns. Throughout, it’s laughter, candor, and practical boundaries—life’s small moments stitched to bigger questions. If you love honest friendship, food debates, and real-life texture, you’re home. Tap play, subscribe, and tell us: where do you land on the sandwich spectrum?

    Did you love that for us?

    We push back on “new year, new me” and share why health and timing—not dates—drive change. Between a Boston arena comedy night, a beekeeping plan, and a layered family story from a New Jersey dance studio, we keep it honest, warm, and a little chaotic in the best way.

  • Hope Strikes Back
    Dec 26 2025

    Did you love that for us?

    Big moves feel different when they start at home. We kick off a new year with a sharper show identity, a brand-new intro courtesy of DJ Slink, and a title switch that finally sounds like us: Do We Love That? The premise is simple and bold—make the choice, own it, and keep moving—because that’s how our real conversations go.

    We share how family feedback pushed us to level up, from tightening our cold open to launching a five-minute hot-seat that forces fast decisions. You’ll hear us speed through the calls everyone argues about: are Christmas movies a win or a skip, Coke or Pepsi loyalty, when to take down the tree, and whether winter means warming the car or just driving cold. We even get into snow day hacks like wipers up vs. down and why Jersey habits die hard. It’s playful, opinionated, and designed to invite your voice into the mix.

    Upgrades are part of the story too. New microphones are in the studio pipeline to improve sound quality for guests and rapid segments, and we talk honestly about the tradeoffs of expanding to YouTube while protecting the cozy morning recording vibe that keeps us real. Nostalgia threads through everything—Friends-style episode nods, Everybody Loves Raymond memories, and a quick detour into holiday updates, family travel, and the board games currently on our table, from Horrified to Yellowstone.

    If you’ve been with us since the “Hope” era, this is the evolution you asked for: clearer titles, tighter pacing, and more ways to jump in. If you’re new here, welcome to a show that blends humor, honesty, and everyday choices with a warm, 90s-infused heart. Hit play, then tell us your picks: Coke or Pepsi? Wipers up or down? And what should we decide on next?

    Enjoy the ride, share this episode with a friend who needs a laugh, and tap follow so you never miss our next Do We Love That sprint. Your hot take could be the spark for our next segment.

  • Hope is Counting Down the Dayz....
    Dec 20 2025

    Did you love that for us?

    Whats the deal with how one movie, one song, or one odd tradition can flip your whole season from hectic to happy? We invited Eliza to sit down with us and pull on those threads—sharing the holiday rituals we cling to, the ones we outgrow, and the playful twists that keep December fresh. From Love Hard and The Santa Clause to the eternal Die Hard question, we build a watch-list that blends nostalgia with discovery and admit to the classics we still haven’t seen.

    We volley between Justin Bieber’s Mistletoe and the power riffs of Trans-Siberian Orchestra, while Italian records sneak in as unofficial “holiday music” because they scored our childhood kitchens. We tour neighborhood decor wars—blow-up villages, synchronized lights, and a skeleton house that changes costumes across the seasons—and laugh about the fine line between delightful and overwhelming.

    Then we get practical. Lists rescue our sanity, reusable gift bags save time, and wrapping hacks add joy without the 2 a.m. meltdown. We map out a lasagna Christmas dinner and a friendly “meatball off,” explain why Christmas morning at home lets kids actually enjoy their gifts, and share our secret-ruled games for adult children that turn small moments into family lore. We even look ahead to travel dreams—Bermuda, anyone?—and how to keep the heart of the holidays beating across multiple homes.

    If you’re juggling traditions, schedules, and big feelings, press play and come plan with us. Subscribe, leave a review to help more listeners find the show, and tell us: what tradition anchors your season?

  • Hope equals Esperanza
    Dec 13 2025

    Did you love that for us?

    Two friends swap stories about a jarring iPhone update, older parents navigating new tech, and the tender, funny realities of being an only child versus growing up in a big family. Winter arrives with live tree needles, a quarter‑mile icy driveway, missed dumpster pickups, coyotes, and a Santa parade that melts the noise.

    • iPhone update friction, button remaps, screenshot changes
    • parents with legacy phones and the cost of no updates
    • voicemail as memory and teaching with annotated screenshots
    • only child boundaries versus sibling negotiation
    • fairness in parenting and avoiding favoritism
    • birthdays near holidays and keeping celebrations distinct
    • live versus artificial trees, clutter and allergies
    • snow, plows, gravel driveways, and delivery workarounds
    • coyotes at dawn, dogs on deck, shifting winter wildlife
    • Santa runs, neighborhood traditions, and lighthearted wrap‑up

    Tune in next week to see who our secret guest is

  • Hope is not a town In NJ.... Oh Wait ...
    Dec 6 2025

    Did you love that for us?

    A Fallout tee, a bus lot, and two Jersey girls who couldn’t stop asking questions—Every super team up has an origin story... this is ours. From there, the story folds into a decade of quick curbside chats, dinners that overwhelmed our New York spouses, and a long-distance rhythm that still lands us at the same table whenever we can. This week we pull on the thread of how small moments become big bonds and follow it through holiday chaos, blocked drive-thrus, and roadside snow that swallows headlights whole.

    We start with a simple Black Friday plan and meet a Starbucks protest at the door. - WTF Where is our Cake Pops ? With caffeine on the line, we pivot to a grocery-store kiosk with lease rules that keep the lights on, then land at a local coffee spot where cake pops rescue tradition. That detour opens a bigger conversation about supporting small businesses, -

    And then there’s the misadventure you didn’t know you needed: a condo upgrade, a cold-water bidet, and the fastest route to a telehealth appointment.
    If you’ve ever built a friendship out of ordinary moments, fought for your coffee ritual, or turned a travel nightmare into a story you now love, you’ll feel at home here. Hit play, share this with your favorite person, and tell us the small moment that started your best friendship. Subscribe, leave a review, and drop your own chaotic coffee or travel tale—we’ll read our favorites on the show.
