    Oct 24 2025

    This week’s episode comes to you fresh from a whirlwind week — complete with late-night concerts, border crossings, and a mini holiday adventure for Helene and Joella. The duo swaps stories from their night out and relives the chaos of all the things that somehow ended up on the floor during Thanksgiving.

    Along the way, they dive into the big questions: What does Thanksgiving really mean, and where did it all begin? Are these “fresh goods” actually fresh? And can you really trust someone to watch your stuff while you step away? Tune in for laughter, reflection, and the kind of pivotal life discussions this podcast can deliver.
