Reunion Stories and Hockey Mishaps – Kevin's Class of '73 Meets Jamie's Beach Weekend
Manage episode 480900852 series 3584571
Transform your commute with heartfelt nostalgia and belly laughs! In this episode, Kevin takes us through his emotional journey back to Walsingham Academy for his 50-year reunion, where classmates reclaim their Italian heritage and childhood friendships prove timeless. With teary-eyed campus tours and stories of classmates "taking back their heritage," Kevin shows how school connections remain powerful decades later.
Meanwhile, Jamie delivers hilarious tales from her girls' getaway to New Smyrna Beach—complete with beach-cruiser wipeouts, judgy restaurant patrons giving side-eye to her crop tops, and the perfect charcuterie board. But the real showstopper? Kevin's infamous 90s Dallas Stars hockey obsession featuring platinum blonde hair, a horrific nightstand face-plant, and an unexpected Elizabeth Hurley encounter that had young Jamie mortified at the airport!
You'll also get Kevin's candid second-wedding planning dilemmas and our exciting announcement about brand-new 2 Clicks in a Pod merchandise that has finally arrived!
