A follow up on Jenny's #relish from Episode 74. Solid ideation here - 10/10!

In this episode we learn that none of us are big on New Year's Resolutions. We're just going to try a few new things, no pressure. We've reached the age where we know that we're not going to turn into new and magical beings just because the calendar changed. But Kelly's going to try to bake some bread and Katie's pretending she's a plant and giving herself more water and sunshine. Becca's opening a bookshop, which we all think is a big deal all by itself. And we're just hoping that Jenny's New Year's Resolution doesn't bring us to a new sector of the podcast world.

Did you think you'd heard the last of us? We are so excited to be back in 2026. Our theme for the year is that we're making more time for fun and joy, and part of that is being together on the air. The other big news is that Becca is getting ready to open a bookshop in March, and the rest of us are picking up mops and paintbrushes to help get the space ready to open. Welcome back to the pod and to our lives.

We are: Katie Basham, Jenny Hobson, Becca Parrish, and Kelly Smith

The presidential race has shifted dramatically and how better to get to know the new candidates than through the regional experts at That's What We Said. No, we don't know VP Harris and Gov Tim Walz — well, Kelly has met Governor Walz once, thanks to her amazing nephew Justin Smith, Disability Rights Activist. But we do know all about the California Bay Area and about Midwestern Nice. Make sense of the Democratic candidates by hearing our tales of growing up in California and the Midwest.

Jump feet first into the Olympic pool with us as we recap our favorite moments of the Paris Games. We cover everything from swimsuits that don't cover much to Bob The Cap Catcher who has the swimming team's tresses all covered. Cry with us about Celine Dion. Ponder the new names of old sports and the arrival of new sports that maybe weren't ready for primetime. Ahem, raygun. And try to avert your eyes with us as we put that one moment on repeat.

A new episode after just 18 months? We say that's quick for four women who are definitely not trying to have it all, even if the "all" feels like it's been piling up all around us for the last decade. Seriously though, we found ourselves with some hope in our hearts and the energy to get back in the studio and not just because of the chance to poke fun at wannabe Kentuckian JD Vance. #relish #answerthecall

Kelly has reached a milestone birthday, and we're taking a few moments to reflect on the wisdom we've earned in almost two centuries of living. Among the four of us. We're not saying Kelly is two hundred years old! In this episode, you'll get tips about car tweezers, grocery cart strategy, youtube fitness videos, and above all, cooking turkeys in bags. Call us, Reynolds Corporation! And stick around to hear how we got our Cracker Barrel breakfast comped in a Downton Abbey re-enactment.

Are you ready for rage? After the decision by the US Supreme Court to overturn Roe V Wade, we take some time for fury. If you're looking for actions and solutions, this episode is not for you as we're honoring the grief process with a week for anger before we get back to the hard work of bandaiding American Democracy. If you want to hear from four fortysomething women who are just as angry as you, then we've got the profanity-laced incoherence you need for this moment.
