Sam shares an update on being back with her boyfriend (it's a rollercoaster, we know), and Amanda discusses why lotto scratchers are a terrible holiday gift to receive from her ex... which somehow evolves into a conversation about how her dad and ex made her feel like she has too many emotions and is too much to handle. </p><p><br></p><p>But the episode turns around when Sam and Amanda discuss their favorite Stranger Things characters because after ten years of talking about how much she loves Stranger Things and rewatches it more than Marvel Avengers, Sam finally convinced Amanda to binge watch and catch up on the show. Their answers surprisingly reveal a lot about their personalities!</p><p><br></p><p>Lastly Sam and Amanda share three words each that sum up their years, and share their hopes for one another in 2026. We'll preview those words here: empowering, infuriating, fun, calm, unsteady, crossroads, boundaries, vulnerability. Go listen to the episode to hear what's behind those words! Thanks for listening to us in 2025, and see you in 2026!</p>","author_name":"Amanda Chang"}
