Cake Before Dinner and Other Bad Decisions

It’s Monday, we’re tired, and yes—someone ate their dessert before dinner at the Lincoln Day banquet. From awkward handshakes with politicians to speaking with high schoolers about trade careers (and dodging prom drama), this episode dives into small-town chaos, real talk about work vs. college, and confessions that may shock our friends—especially the one about not actually graduating from Purdue. Catch up with us as we reflect, overshare, and laugh our way through another unpredictable week.
