Costco Knows Who She Is
<p>This week, the girls are back in the studio Maddy has accidentally enrolled at Hogwarts at 31 and is officially being welcomed by Priscilla into Granny Girl Summer with their newfound mahjong obsession, and they recap the very unexpected internet outrage over… men’s underwear.</p><p>Then, <b>Feed the Group Chat</b> is all about showing some love to local spots. We’re talking al dente pasta, perfectly made at Tratto, mochi donuts and ube coffee, a brown butter chocolate chip cookie worthy of Maddy’s ongoing search for the best in America, catering spots that deserve your rep lunch orders, and the Greek rice Priscilla simply cannot stop thinking about.</p><p></p><p>In <b>Whine & Dine</b>, Priscilla discovers the true cost of “enjoying your mortgage” with a toddler, while Maddy’s financial audit turns into a full investigation of subscriptions that are suspiciously easy to start and nearly impossible to cancel. Because apparently Paramount Plus needs closure before you’re allowed to leave.</p><p></p><p>Then <b>Spill the Matcha</b> gets into brand PR disasters, Post Malone’s surprise engagement, the rumored <i>Dancing with the Stars</i> cast, and Meghan and Harry potentially entering their hybrid-royal era.</p><p></p><p>Finally, we debut the palate cleanser <b>Cancel, Endorse or Rebrand</b>, where absolutely nothing is safe. It’s another chaotic catch-up filled with local eats, niche hobbies, internet rage bait, corporate cancellations, strong food opinions, and several rebrands nobody hired us to do.</p><p>Come hungry, leave fed, taste buddies! 🍸✨<br /></p><p><b>Show Notes</b></p><p>Sub to our Substack: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://aftertastepodcast.substack.com" target="_blank">aftertastepodcast.substack.com</a></p><p>Sub to our Patreon: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://patreon.com/TheAftertastePodcast" target="_blank">patreon.com/TheAftertastePodcast</a></p><p>Follow the Pod on TikTok and IG: @aftertastepodcast</p><p>Follow Pri: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://instagram.com/priprihungry" target="_blank">instagram.com/priprihungry</a></p><p>Follow Maddy: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://instagram.com/sunshineandsoftness" target="_blank">instagram.com/sunshineandsoftness</a></p><p>SIGN THE PETITION: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://safeplateact.com" target="_blank">safeplateact.com</a></p><p><b>Restaurants Mentioned:<br /></b>Z’s Greek - @zsgreekarcadia | Arcadia Phoenix, AZ<br />Tratto - @trattophx | Midtown Phoenix, AZ<br />Tandys Cafe - @tandyscafe | Biltmore Phoenix, AZ<br />Green Corner Mediterranean Cuisine - @greencorneraz | Greater Phoenix Area Multiple locations</p><p>Mochi Dot Donuts - @mochidotdonuts | Midtown Phoenix, AZ<br /></p><p><b>Premier Sponsor:<br /></b>Amara & Associates – <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://azinjuryattorney.com" target="_blank">azinjuryattorney.com</a></p><p><b>Executive Producer:</b> Joe Santucci</p><p><b>Music Credit:</b> <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://Riverside.com" target="_blank">Riverside.com</a> – Vienna, Soothsayer, and Nosedive</p>
