Summary

Happy Friday, Heal Squad! It’s a Regular Guy Friday that starts with the Go-Go’s, turns into a Lifesaver apology tour, and somehow ends with candy history, tiki bar dreams, and a little Hollywood chaos. Kev and Anne get into why the old-school candies hit different, and the surprisingly fascinating story behind the five-cent checkout treat that became an empire. Plus, a very real dad moment as Kev navigates Athena’s first sick night — steam showers, crisis mode, and all. PLUS, Kev-On-the-Scene makes a comeback to discuss a little Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni drama. Funny, nostalgic, and exactly the kind of Friday check-in you didn’t know you needed. Bye Betches!
