Dave makes not 1 but 2 off camera cameos this week - it's totes adorbs! Did you guys know that Crystal and Kyley have dynamically performed Hakuna Matata in duet form for more than 25 years? And this week - we see its rival - Barbara Manatee (Endangered Love from Veggie Tales) debut. Meghan gets real with us right off the bat and introduces us to Forever Flowers and also tells us the heartbreaking story of having her IUD replaced. If you know, you know. April starts off this semester on campus and Kyley gets over a bout of anxiety. And that's all segment one!

Meghan gets tasked with naming her AI, and Crystal fills us in on her search for a wedding to crash on the Bestiez Long Weekend in Phoenix. SHE FOUND THREE! Follow along to see if we end up rubbing elbows with some vegans, or if we can sneak our way onto someone's seating chart. Kyley updates on on the Melina Hoagland case - it looks like she's finally seeing a twinkle of justice. In Current Events, Meghan tells us about the Monks Walk for Peace - they believe that peace begins within and can radiate outward. They invite everyone to practice compassion and mutual respect - even in this divided world. And leave it up to Crystal to name a business RURAL MURAL wtf

Kyley rounds out the segment dropping some serious conversation starters around internet sleuths and the information they find at lightning speed. As we come back from break, Meghan tells us a story about the Long Island Medium, and we turn that into an opportunity to challenge April's judgment. We switch up the Movies & Documentaries segment to include TV shows and other entertainment since we watch more than that. We round out the episode chatting about what we've seen on social media and we bid adieu to the Life Story prompt cards, as they just started sucking all the sudden.

Meghan kicks off this episode with a roller coaster of a weekend. She's got stupid girl things to do, oh and a divorce on the horizon. But she knows self care is needed and handles business. She's ready to rock and roll with her Bestiez as we wade through the rest of our weeks with reports of nursing school and wrestling club coming from April. Crystal doesn't have much to report (no news is good news, ya know) but Kyley has lots to chat about. She and Anthony stay busy spending time with his nephews and getting their steps in at the malls around Denver. She's also thinking about taking an AI class and I think she's on to something.

We would be remiss if we didn't shout out a dear old friend, that is listening to our podcast and loving our vibe - Corie.

Watch us get old as we ALL forget something we talked about just minutes prior, and then laugh together, at ourselves and each other - something we are SO good at!

Most of the Bestiez took the Mexican food route this week in the What's Cookin' Good Lookin' segment. Do you like the sound of a good ole taco salad? Me too. Rice casserole? Yes please. Enchilada lasagna? SAY LESS.

Listen, if you've made it this far in the description, I'm just going to say this - if you aren't peeing your pants at the SLINGBLADE conversation - who even are you? Ops?

This episode rounds out the years in our 20s discussing our most vivid memories. If you knew us back then, leave us a comment about your most vivid memory of us. <3

What a doozy we have in store for you this episode! The Bestiez meet up to chat about their Christmas and New Years holiday. How would you feel if your boss got you a chin hair remover as a gift? Meghan tells us how she really feels about it. We also see her shift into embracing her imminent divorce as she hones in on what her next steps are. Poor Kyley is still sick and we lose Crystal when she loses her pen. When she returns, she makes sure we know that she knows all the bad words. April tells us that Silo loves going to Aunt Nikki's house in KC and that they are all learning Spanish to talk to Cousin Ed. SHITTERS FULL!! Crystal confesses her secret to the Fireball Glazed Snickerdoodles that Cody loves so much and Meghan doesn't even care - she wants them! Kyley reminds us how much fun we had conspiring with our cousins to spend the night with Grandma and Grandpa when we were younger. She also tells us about her terrifying bike ride home from her NYE outings in downtown Denver. The episode rounds out with everything from moon landing conspiracies to advice on how to cook a steak. The Bestiez share the awesome documentaries they've watched, but April needs to call it quits. She just can't take it anymore. The show ends with the girls giving their teenage selves advice. Damn - why couldn't they have had fairy god mothers 30 years ago? They'd ALL be rich now!

It's the final recording session of 2025, as the Bestiez meet one last time before the holiday season, and April wants to show us her O face. Right away we learn that news of Meghan's impending divorce has made its way around the CVMA group and she shares some more details with us as she prepares for this huge change. We learn about Brooke and her love for Barbie. Cody and Savannah visit and she really steps up to help Crystal with gift ideas. Crystal bids happy holidays to Prince and his family as his Gigi comes to town for a few weeks. Have you ever hid a gift in someone's house without them knowing about it? We go off the rails a little (what's new) but we finally get back on track to discuss nicknames. Current events are too many to list, including some restaurants charging a "Rude Customer" fee. The Bestiez talk about their traditional holiday treats as we learn for the first time that Meghan makes extra yummy Chex Mix. Who knew?? Erin. Erin knew.

Starting this episode off strong with a text message that everyone's ready - but Meghan is on her own time. No one told Crystal it's show and tell with Arts & Crafts this week. She thinks we're lucky she's graced us with her presence. And what a week she's had!! THE WIGGLES!!?? Fruit Salad, yummy yummy, amiright? The Bestiez all support Kyley as she shares that her Grandpa George enters hospice, but is NOT in a hurry to join Grandma Ruby in the afterlife. Is it just me or is it dark in here? Finally, we get wild and crazy telling SOME stories from our teenage years.

The Bestiez are official Podcasters!! This is the first episode recorded after the release of their inaugural season. And is it just me or did the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade really redeem itself this year? And speaking of "back and better" our FAVORITE girls trip meetup spot is BACK on Airbnb. Do you know where it is? Watch Meghan stop herself from crashing out while the other Bestiez try their hardest to derail the Movies and Documentaries segment before it even begins. The documentaries are documentary-ing this week!! Last but not least, as we dive into rebellious teenage angst, who would you bet did the most work in the garden if you know what I mean. Who was really putting herself out there when she was young?

Assholes, accusations, and hostage situations - and it's only Wednesday! Settle in with the Bestiez as we discuss our busy weeks, share what makes Meghan too midwest for the southwest, and discover what gets Crystal back to baseline after she reaches level 11. Stick around to hear our shoutouts to the other friends we spent time with when we were younger.

Should we have a BINGO card? And if we did would "Meghan snacks when it's her turn" be on it? Have you ever heard of Cameo or gotten to interact with your favorite celeb or influencer? Hang out with the Bestiez as they spend another episode listening and laughing together.
