Episode fifty. FIFTY. And we went out exactly the way we started — just the two of us, a bottle of wine, and absolutely no shortage of things to say. Season 1 is officially in the books, and this episode is equal parts celebration and rabbit hole. We're talking merch launches, ballet tickets, anniversary party updates, a Trend Decoder segment that got surprisingly deep, and a sneak peek at what Season 2 has in store. Buckle up, Sip Squad. 🐇

📱 Trend Decoder: Show Me Your Grip

Trend Decoder is back! We started Season 1 with this segment, and it only felt right to end with it too. Tonight’s trend: Show Me Your Grip.

Rachel went full spiral before landing on something that honestly exceeded the actual trend: a metaphor for holding on through 50 episodes, through a whole year, through all of it. Jen’s take was literal — the viral trend of women showing everything stacked in one hand as they walk out the door in the morning — keys, coffee, water bottle, sunglasses, lip stuff, and approximately four other things that don’t fit in women’s pockets because women’s pockets are a joke.

Rachel also proposed activating Stitch mode (six arms, no waiting) and theorized a carpal tunnel gender gap study. So yes, it went places.

"We started this thing and we gripped on tight, and we did it every week." — Rachel

🥂 New Merch Drop: Pairs Well with Champagne & Caviar Bumps

Today we hard-launched our newest merch line — inspired by our good friend Brent, former Executive Director of Ballet Wichita, who introduced us to our first caviar bumps (and a whole lot of Veuve Clicquot). It started with Brent saying “Hey, I love your podcast” one night at the Brickyard, and look where we are now.

10% of profits from the Pairs Well with Champagne & Caviar Bumps line go to Ballet Wichita. Because that’s just how this story goes.

Shop the new line + all our merch here.

And don’t forget — the Uncorked & Slightly Unhinged line is 15% off through July 31 with code STHANNIVERSARY.

Ballet Wichita Giveaway: Alice in Wonderland

We’ve been invited as guests to Ballet Wichita’s production of Alice in Wonderland — June 27 at 2 PM at Friends University. AND we’re giving away two tickets to one lucky Sip Squad member + their plus one.

Here’s the full circle moment: Jen’s son played the Mad Hatter in his high school’s state-winning production of Alice by Heart this year. So naturally, the This or That for the giveaway is...
