Summary

This week on Cohosts for Life, we’re diving deep into a tradition that’s become core to our relationship: the date list. We share how it started, why it’s surprisingly meaningful, and how it's helped us remember little memories that would've been lost to time. We also take a nostalgic walk through five years of Jake’s birthday celebrations — including what we did this past week. And, in true chaotic balance, we also cover: the ridiculous cost of trendy athleisure, why Ilana can’t throw out dried flowers, and Jake’s oddly specific fashion hot take.

0:20.3	And the woman goes, sorry, we're closed. And I'm like, you close at five. If your establishment closes at five, you can't close it at 4.45. Summer Fridays. But not at coffee shops. Yeah, I don't know. Maybe they had like no sales and closed up shop. There were three people sitting there.
0:53.8	Yeah. No, that's weird for sure. So I had to make my own coffee. It's okay. For like an established brand like that to do that.

You can do whatever you want. No, you do it. No, I think, hey guys, welcome back. Okay. It's good. Okay. That wasn't me doing it, but. Can you, like, mimic me how I would start an intro? No, you know, I'm so bad at, like, mimicking. I wish I could just do- Really mimic Angelo all the time. But not well. I'm the worst at the Angelo impressions. Now, I don't know.
