#77 - When You Can Be Anything, Be a Triangle and Get You a Meal Box While You Are At It
This quote could not be more true to life than it was when Joa and Robin talked about Be A Triangle by Lilly Singh. The book has a whole lot of soul, plenty of laughs but also it lent itself to some serious discussion about self-care, self-love and therapy. But that’s not all. Joa pulls out her book log again. Robin attempts to make a jingle for it, and as things happen in life, the hosts end up talking about food and hate cooking. Go figure…Definitely an episode you DON’T want to miss. Come for the book stay for the laughs.

#65 - Cats and Tumbleweeds: Welcome to El Paso
What is dry, prickly with lots of mountains? El Paso, of course! Stick around for this episode where Joa tries to sell El Paso to all of our listeners, and if by the end of it you still don't want to visit, make sure to leave her a voice message. There's also a saga...and this time, it has nothing to do with Starbucks. Listen in and find out what made Robin's mouth drop open in front of a government official.
