Cherry on Top

Episode 20 - Off the Cuff

OMG, it’s Episode 20! It’s July, and we’re living in the heat of the summer, and topic number one is all about the sunburns that come along with it. After talking heat, we discuss all the things you spill in your car, and try not to puke while we’re at it! Lastly, topic number 3 is an act that takes strength, determination, and the utter desire… taking a drinking break.

Episode 19 - “The Forecasters”

We’ve got the need, the need for speed! Episode 19 is full of twists and turns, starting with topic one: speed limits. Down the road, we talk all things social: specifically, the word we all love/hate saying: YES. Last but not least, topic number three is a typical “go-to” when the conversation isn’t going too hot… the weather. Welcome to Cherry on Top.

Episode 18 - Throwback Times

Episode 18 is a special one, because we’re throwing it back to the good old days when life’s minor inconveniences were a little less… inconvenient! From your parents telling you no, to the excitement of your very first sleepover, it’s going to be a nostalgic one to say the least. Our final topic still brings us that feeling of fear; finding a seat in the lunchroom. Minor in the grand scheme of things, but major to the kiddos we were. Welcome to Cherry on Top.

Episode 17 - Technical Difficulties

Episode 17 is a wild one, and we aren’t holding back either! Topic one jumps right into the home of a relationship, and topic number two may just end it if you aren’t careful. Technically, all it takes is a little communication, right? To end this rant, we’re talking all about layovers and how they are the literal worst. Welcome to Cherry on Top.
