Welcome to our first show of the year. We’re kicking things off with warm January weather, plenty of laughs, and a full rundown of what’s happening around Rutherford County and beyond.

We start the show by welcoming everyone back and giving a huge thank you to our sponsor, Middle Tennessee Electric (MTE), for helping power the show and our community. From there, we dive into some real-life moments, including Jen’s unfortunate stair-slide incident that proves the year is already off to an interesting start.

This episode is packed with local highlights, food spots, and community updates, including:

* A spotlight on Clay Oven, the new Indian restaurant on Memorial Boulevard, featuring fresh-made dishes, buffet options, catering, and a full bar coming soon
* A visit to Boro Holistic Health and Wooded Acres Farms, showcasing clean, locally made products, holistic health services, supplements, and farm goods
* Updates from MTSU, including upcoming guest appearances, new programs, and exciting content we’re planning on campus
* A huge Jets Pizza deal with 50 percent off all pizzas at Murfreesboro locations for a limited time
* A look at a stunning custom-built home by Bracken Construction and what makes their building process stand out
* Sunday brunch at Sam’s Place, now offering an all-you-can-eat buffet with fresh breakfast favorites
* PRP therapy at Speakeasy Aesthetics and how it’s being used for both cosmetic and therapeutic benefits
* A visit to Sweet Paris Crêperie at Nashville Yards, featuring sweet and savory crêpes, specialty drinks, and brunch vibes

We follow up with upcoming local events, including kids’ activities, dance classes, outdoor adventures, and other fun ways to get involved in the community.

We’re kicking off New Year’s Day live with laughs, reflections, and plenty of real talk. From empty roads and New Year’s hangovers to resolutions we may or may not stick to, this episode is all about starting the year together as a community.

We talk about:
• New Year’s resolutions and why some of us skip them entirely
• Doom scrolling, screen time, and being more intentional in 2026
• Wives tales and New Year traditions like black eyed peas, greens, making noise, opening doors, and even carrying empty suitcases
• Shoutouts to friends, family, birthdays, and glowing skincare recommendations
• A fun and honest behind the scenes look at work, relationships, and balance
• A full breakdown of PopStroke in Antioch including the mini golf experience, food, drinks, pricing, and why it’s worth the drive
• Local events and things to do including
– Cedar Glade Brews Cabin Fever Beerfest
– 90s Disney Movie Trivia at The Goat
– The Battle of Stones River 163rd Anniversary Living History Event
