We love it when we're able to share a story from our listeners and it's SO exciting when we get the opportunity to bring on a special guest.

Season 2 - Episode 2: Sticker Hoarders, Vegas Dreams & Banana Cheese

Nikki and Brooke are back on Zoom for episode 2 of season 2, and this one's a little different—less New Kids on the Block, more real talk. They dig into Nikki's sticker subscriptions and journaling obsession (hello, Hobonichi), swap concert stories from a wild week of Louis Tomlinson and Benson Boone shows, confess their shared love of hoarding bags and receipts, and start planning a long-overdue Vegas trip. Plus: parakeets on Zoom, eyebrow debates, and the great banana-and-cheese debate that somehow makes total sense by the end. Nikki also dabbled in some simple video editing for this one, so hopefully you'll be able to catch it in video form on Spotify, and definitely on YouTube at MySoCalledWhatever.

Episode 302 - Season 2?

We're back (Brooke & Nikki) and honestly, we're not making any promises this time (but honestly - there's just something different about this time). In this teaser, we catch up on everything that's happened, get real about why the podcast went quiet, and talk about what's changing (and what definitely isn't) as we head into Season 2. In this teaser episode for Season 2 you'll hear the same nostalgic, no-filter banter you've come to love from us: '90s and early-2000s throwbacks (Napster, Kazaa, and the horror of a failed overnight download queue), a truly unforgettable story about a decades-old pair of my jeans, New Kids on the Block reminiscing, celebrity crushes (RIP to me over Jensen Ackles), and honest talk about getting older, perimenopause, and why we needed this space back in our lives. It's messy, it's real, and it's exactly why we started this podcast in the name of "whatever." Season 2 drops around our nine-year anniversary (July 16) thanks for sticking with us through the question marks.
