We’re back to our original setup (last week’s side quest was a NO) and today we’re officially Almost Experts in: Facebook Cash App birthday begging, Venmo stalking, Miami football heartbreak, Four Loko lore, dragging J.Lo, Gen Z behavior, and “Chinese TikTok” morning routines… all in one episode. 💅😂

In this episode:

• Facebook “it’s my birthday” payment handles + why it gives secondhand embarrassment

• The broke-era money moves that should’ve stayed private (platform bans… allegedly)

• Miami football loss + why we want real emotion, not fake handshake energy

• Four Loko vs Cutwater + missing summer + tan delusion

• J.Lo glambot drama + celeb makeup/procedure denial

• Gen Z stare + manners + parenting in 2026 (send help)

• Lemon water + bone broth + soup all day + sourdough starter confusion

• Communion bread is the best bread??? (and the Catholic church aesthetic is elite)

👇 Drop a comment: What’s more unhinged — putting your Venmo in your Facebook status… or being banned from Cash App? 😭

Huge shoutout to Fusion Home Loans for letting us use their space to record — truly the best communication and a game-changer for smooth closings. Thank you, Fusion!

What’s up, Almost Experts?! This week is a full-spectrum yap session — from trying (and failing) to learn the “I Love Miami” dance like we were born to be cheerleaders… to deep-diving pop star glow-ups, Lisa Frank nostalgia, and why being in full regalia means do not test me.

We get into Zara Larsson’s aesthetic era, celebrity competition, the Golden Globes, wigs, recession-blonde discourse, and why some male actors should’ve left their faces completely alone. Then we spiral (naturally) into Fast & Furious men, Pirates of the Caribbean supremacy, Disney adults, and the Ashley Tisdale celebrity mom-group drama featuring Hillary Duff, Mandy Moore, and Meghan Trainor — plus why we’re always pro-husbands chiming in.

It’s messy, it’s niche, it’s hilarious, it’s weirdly therapeutic — and somehow an hour disappears in five minutes.

In this episode, we fully embrace the truth: we are not winter people, and we are no longer pretending to be. What starts with a wig being thrown away mid-event (along with a family heirloom, RIP) spirals quickly into lemon drop shots, champagne aesthetics, barefoot breakdowns, and a sledding trip that absolutely took us out for five business days.

We cover:

• Wearing wigs, losing wigs, and regretting lemon drop shots

• Snow sledding for the first time in your 30s (and why Florida people shouldn’t try it)

• Why winter hurts our skin, our souls, and our will to live

• Dating hot takes: mama’s boys, exes, and situational ethics

• Emily in Paris discourse nobody asked for (but you’re getting anyway)

• Facebook prayer requests, relationship whiplash, and being unapologetically nosy

• Fuck, Kill, Marry: Landman edition

• Football victories, emotional moments, and chaotic celebrations

• Comfort stalking your friends on Instagram

• Motherhood expectations, PTA realities, and sneaking drinks (or not)

This episode is feral, opinionated, heartfelt, ridiculous, and exactly what you’d expect when two people talk long enough without stopping themselves.

Bundle up (emotionally), grab a drink, and press play.

🎉 Happy New Year’s Eve, besties! Welcome back to The Almost Experts — aka the group chat for women building full lives (and businesses) in real time.

In this episode, we’re doing the most chaotic NYE catch-up: talking resolutions we might keep, spiraling over an Oura Ring score like it’s a final exam, dreaming of being “book club women” (but also… when??), and debating whether we’re officially entering our recession blonde era.

Also: Renata took her cat out on the town in a clear pink backpack (icon behavior), we’re flirting with the idea of getting a bird, and we revisit the most traumatic household moment of all time: Roomba vs. dog poop. (RIP.)

Plus we get into: ✨ a surprisingly incredible movie night (no spoilers, but TRUST) ✨ thirsting responsibly over beautiful actors ✨ TikTok weirdness: engagement “negotiators,” train-wreck accounts you can’t stop watching, and the wildest internet lore ✨ airport outfits, germs, and why athleisure is basically armor ✨ skydiving + parasailing stories that made our palms sweat ✨ wrapping up 2025 with gratitude, a few regrets, and a goal to take a collective chill pill in 2026

GIVEAWAY REMINDER: Make sure you’re subscribed, following us on IG + TikTok, and subscribed on YouTube — then tell us you did it so we can toss your name in the pot! We’re posting the graphic with everything in the basket.

We are The Almost Experts — and this episode is… exactly what you’d expect from us: unhinged, oddly heartfelt, and somehow productive.

We start with technical difficulties (because of course), then immediately pivot into: dead mom jacket lore (with a tissue in the pocket that will never be removed), being sick AGAIN, and our very serious TV take of the week: we do not want to watch ugly people have sex. Respectfully.

From there we get into:

• Who the hottest actors are (14-year-old us vs current us)

• American Horror Story trauma (pointy… chrome… thing included)

• Germany travel countdown + nail salon chaos

• The internet’s obsession with the Jon Hamm trend

• Bonnie Blue getting arrested (and our complicated feminist thoughts)

• Taylor Swift surprise-dropping Rep TV like the billionaire menace she is

• Zach Brown Band at the Sphere doing… demonic underworld visuals?? (Chicken Fried?? hello??)

• Anxiety mornings, flight turbulence, and saving Xanax for the flights that get weird

• Why cats are better than dogs (and why Whiskey is basically a soulmate)

• High-person thoughts without being high (aka: do we all see colors the same?)

• Being an NPC, time-traveling, and the MC Hammer concert lore we didn’t know we needed

• Holding your nail tech’s hand by accident (because it’s intimate, okay??)

• The unsettling “hot Christian TikTok guy” and the fake baby doll moms of the internet

• And yes… the return of sperm eyebrows + the camo puff vest/tank top combo (pray for us) (Picture of Morgan's Eyebrows on IG Highlights haha)

Also: shoutout to Fusion Home Loans — getting deals done, making it happen, and somehow still having a good time while doing it.
