📌 Episode Summary:
In this heartfelt and hilariously nostalgic episode, Janae and Ronnie return from weekend adventures and dive into the joys of a simpler America—from dandelion salads to the days of handwritten letters. They celebrate Nonprofit Tuesday with special guest Kim Reiger of Kamp KASE, shining a light on a magical summer camp for kids battling cancer. The duo also revisit hilariously forgotten TV flops, the comfort foods of the Great Depression, and ponder life choices we may not brag about at reunions.
From pork chops to porch parties, this episode will warm your heart, tickle your memory, and make you very hungry.
