We kick off by hilariously reacting to your responses on our Instagram poll about the "weirdest things people have snuck onto planes". Next, we touch briefly on some Azores travel items before we get passionately sidetracked talking about our immigrant parents' specific furniture items for the remainder of the episode. A wild journey you don't want to miss.

We are joined by Indy Santos, a bad-ass Brazilian who immigrated by herself to California nine years ago and became a US citizen. We compare our Azorean Portuguese culture to her Brazilian culture and learn about our similarities and differences. Indy is a strong, independent woman with a really good grasp on how to live a full life while balancing physical, emotional, and mental health! Indy most recently appeared on CBS' Season 24 of Big Brother, however our conversation focuses on Indy herself and not her experiences on the show.
