So, Jess and Anissa finally reconnect after a week of living their separate lives, and let me tell you, it’s like they never skipped a beat. First, they dive into all things Airbnb, sharing their dream stays and, of course, the absolute struggle of wrestling with duvets (like, why is making a bed harder than a workout?). They bond over their love for a stocked fridge on vacation—because who doesn’t want to open the fridge and feel like they're starring in their own episode of Cribs?

Jess is knee-deep in potty training with her youngest and spilling all the tea on the mess (literally and figuratively). Meanwhile, both of them are over the morning wake-up struggles—kids, alarms, you name it. Anissa recounts her LA adventure, which, plot twist, includes a hotel reservation snafu that’s the stuff of rom-coms.

They don’t stop there—oh no, these two cover everything from smoothie bowls (yum) and the mystery of finding lost items (cue the Twilight Zone theme) to the joys of oven cleaning (aka, the adult version of a horror movie), car washes, and tennis matches. And because it wouldn’t be a proper catch-up without a little nostalgia, they share hilarious stories about their moms and their childhoods. The convo is light, full of laughs, and honestly, just the kind of banter you’d expect from these two.
