This week, we lock in our Universal Yums pick and prepare to snack our way through Greece. Jeff needs help naming the red-headed woodpecker terrorizing his life, and the options are… strong. Rachael shares a surprisingly comforting truth about being watched at the gym, then we get into a viral influencer drama involving free food, entitlement, and a very messy outcome.

We also unpack the Golden Globes introducing a podcast category and what that could mean for the future of podcasting. And finally, despite fighting it with everything she has, Rachael gets pulled into The Traitors and is not thrilled about it.

We’re debating whether we should try Food of the World snack boxes. Jeff also shares how something as simple as switching a name on an account somehow turned into total confusion (because, of course, it did).Rachael is officially overwhelmed. Between considering a phone upgrade and thinking about buying a new couch, the decision fatigue is real.We give our spoiler-free thoughts on the Stranger Things finale, so you can safely listen without panic.We also talk about our upcoming volunteer opportunity with the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma on February 7. If you want to join us and do some good, get all the details and sign up at magic104.com.Looking ahead to 2026, Jeff wants to bring back “Where in the State” (and might need listener help to make it happen), while Rachael is focused on being able to access her happy place a little easier.And finally… Rachael had someone ring her doorbell THREE times, offer zero explanation, and then look through her mailbox! Which is… unsettling, to say the least.

This week, we cover a little bit of everything… and by everything, we mean retail chaos, generational habits, dating app desperation, and a very serious snack-related betrayal.

Jeff stumbles onto a confusing Walmart discovery. Rachael is searching for a way to become immune to annoying kid noises, without the long-term exposure of actually having kids. If anyone has cracked this code, please reach out.

We also unpack why podcast hosts of a certain age still call moments “good radio.” A line is officially crossed when Rachael realizes Bugles no longer fit on fingers like they used to. Justice for finger hats. Gen Z is now letting parents choose their dating app matches, and since Rachael is still single… we’re not ruling it out.

We weigh in on the candied cranberry trend (curious, but not motivated), then wrap things up with a lightning round of Christmas questions — real vs. fake trees, lights, eggnog opinions, first Christmas song of the season, and what we’re most looking forward to next year.

Plus, a sincere thank you to our listeners for making this show what it is.

Christmas is just days away, and Rachael is just now realizing it. Meanwhile, Burger King and McDonald’s are out here dropping promo meals for SpongeBob and The Grinch… which raises the important question: what would it take for us to buy a promotional meal? Free toy? Nostalgia?Then we recap the games we played over Thanksgiving - Flip 7 and Telestrations absolutely stole the show. Highly recommend.Spotify Wrapped 2025 is here, which is basically Rachael's Super Bowl. Music + stats = her Roman Empire. According to Spotify, her “music age” is 26, which is flattering… and also concerning.We wrap things up by getting (accidentally) wise: the two biggest lessons we’re taking into the new year, plus the tiny perspective shifts that have actually made a difference.

Britney Spears and the Kardashians hosted a pajama party, which made Jeff wonder: do grown adults actually do PJ parties in real life, or is this strictly for the Gram?

We share our extremely boring grown-up Christmas lists (a tire gauge and a bug zapper… please clap), then let ChatGPT pick our celebrity twins. Jeff being Chris Pratt tracks a little too well.

Do people still send Christmas cards? Rachael says yes, but mostly moms who want to show off the family. Then Jeff puts Rachael through a Thanksgiving trivia quiz, and let’s just say… she’s not winning any holiday-themed game shows.

We wrap things up by sharing the best things we discovered this year and the moments that made us laugh way too hard... turns out they both involve farts.

This week, Rachael found an article that says people are using dating apps to get jobs... and honestly, it might be her best shot since she keeps getting unmatched the second someone finds out she works in radio.

She also hit up the Billie Eilish show in Tulsa, which was incredible, minus the parking nightmare. So she asks Jeff how he handles out-of-town events, and, shocker, he overplans every single detail. Rachael’s takeaway: next time she’s bringing Jeff as her logistics manager.

Then Jeff stirs the pot by texting Rachael and her best friend just to brag that he’s eating at one of their favorite restaurants. Rude? Ornery? Or just classic Jeff? And finally, we wrap up our long-running “Do These Co-Hosts Even Know Each Other?” game.

Halloween lights are the new Christmas lights, but have you seen what people are spending on them?! Jeff confesses to a lighting disaster from last year (let’s just say extension cords were not on his side).

Then we talk about the fine line between trusting your gut and trusting GPS. Jeff learned the hard way that the robots might actually know the faster route. Growth looks good on him.

Are we too quick to fire coaches? Jeff’s not sure, but he is wondering what it would take to get a buyout deal of his own. Meanwhile, Rachael makes a surprising confession... she hates taking up “auditory space.” Not exactly ideal when your job is literally… talking.

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.)
