Summary
This week we’re back from Hawaii and immediately thrown into jet lag, daylight savings, and the reality of jumping straight back into work. We talk about how quickly vacation mode disappears once the Sunday scaries hit and real life starts again. We recap some of our favorite moments from the trip, including playing with baby animals and exploring fruit farms in Kauai. Ilana shares some big news and the complicated feelings that came with it, and we spiral into TikTok fame, influencer culture, AI, and what the future might look like.

| 0:02.0 | Let's do it. |
| 0:22.7 | Aloha, you guys. Oh, that was way too loud. Aloha, you guys. Hi. Hi, I'm Jake. I don't know. What are you doing? I never do aloha. Well, because we never just come back from Hawaii. Oh, I feel like I didn't hear one person say aloh at us in Hawaii once. Really? Did you? |
| 0:23.8 | We sit alone on us. |
| 0:21.5 | I feel like, I didn't hear one person say aloh to us in Hawaii once. |
| 0:27.1 | Really? Did you? We said aloh on us. I feel like some people did. Okay. The woman in the store, remember? I think it would have been more appropriate to do the aloha while we were in Hawaii. |

| 0:53.2 | something we need to talk about. |
| 0:55.0 | I love a good date night, but I do not love waking up foggy, anxious, or exhausted the next morning because they had just one or two drinks. |
| 1:02.9 | Lately, I have been way more intentional about how I unwind, and that is where Vesper from Peak comes in. |

| 1:29.0 | My shoulders dropped. I felt lighter, but I was still fully there for the conversation. |
| 1:32.6 | The flavor is honestly so good. Sour cherry, grapefruit, a little bitters. It feels really |
| 1:37.0 | sophisticated. I'll pour it over ice, top it with some sparkling water, light a candle, put my phone away. |

| 1:44.7 | And the best part is that I wake up clear, not groggy, not anxious, just normal, which is honestly |
