Hey, everyone! We’re back. And it’s just the two of us this week which we haven’t done in a while. We decided to talk about all things cozy, comfy, and coping—and we all know Rebecca is all about the warm and fuzzies.

Jamie starts by talking about her visit to Super Nintendo World over the weekend and how magical it was to see her childhood come to life. Then, we dive in to our go-to comforts.

From our favorite nostalgic TV shows and movies like “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” to our top comfort foods like mac and cheese, PB&Js, and even the classic childhood favorite, Captain Crunch. We also talk about our favorite cozy video games like Stardew Valley and Animal Crossing and own up to our undying love for true crime documentaries. (Why are stories about murder so oddly comforting? We get into the psychology of that, too.)

It’s a laid-back, feel-good episode that feels like hanging out with your slightly unhinged, but always funny older sisters. So, grab your favorite comfort snack (and throw blanket) and settle in.

“Wait. Did we just do a whole episode where all we did was list things we like?”
