🎙 Episode 1: Two Besties. One. Wild. Idea.

Hosts: Jennifer Hobbs & Jackie Schroeder
Podcast: Slightly Unsupervised

Summary:
In the debut episode of Slightly Unsupervised, best friends Jennifer and Jackie dive into the heart of how Bestiemony® was born—from a wild idea during a bestie weekend to a fully trademarked ceremony honoring the one relationship we often overlook: friendship.

They talk about growing up in the 80s, stealing their mom’s cars, surviving mountain-town chaos, and the kind of ride-or-die loyalty that made their bond unbreakable (even after a 15-year friendship gap). They share the behind-the-scenes of filming real Bestiemony stories, how it felt to say their own vows to each other, and why they believe friendship is the most underrated love story of all.

Whether you’ve had the same best friend since 7th grade or you're still waiting to find your person, this episode will hit you in the feels—and make you laugh till you snort.

Bonus: Stick around for “Rapid-Fire Bestie Questions” at the end, where Jen and Jackie get brutally honest about who's the most savage in the group chat and who cries at every movie (spoiler alert: it’s Jen).
