Carol and Stacy open by jokingly confusing their names, explain they’re late due to Carol’s vintage antique sale and Easter, and announce one more episode before a short break to plan season two. They share odd moments from the sale, including a shopper who stayed two and a half hours to buy about $40 of items and a blunt customer who asked which seller was dying, leading them to note you shouldn’t ask people if they’re pregnant or dying. They recount past “silly adventures,” including holding yard sale signs on a busy highway, Stacy falling into a ditch while holding a car wash sign, and creative COVID-era visits at Sonic, in driveways, and in a garage with a patio heater. They describe a one-time backyard blow-up pool “resort” day, a Nashville Shores trip where a family wore knee socks in a wave pool, a kid misunderstanding basketball team news, and Stacy’s water slide mishap in Georgia. They end by discussing a possible senior-rate pool membership and thanking listeners before the break.

Stacy and Carol open episode 14 of “Start a List,” thanking listeners for feedback, and announce one more episode before a short break ending season one. They recap a two-day Pigeon Forge trip, including stopping at Buc-ee’s, staying in a cozy place, and repeatedly encountering “ridiculous” people. They watch a nighttime “karaoke guy” performing near a trolley stop, visit The Island (shopping, key lime cookies, and a tram ride policed by strict “tram patrol”), and shop at Tanger Outlets where an overstimulating Michael Kors visit features a showy “purse lady.” At a winery patio, a close-talking Dollywood tram driver touches their cracker container lid, asks for relationship “vibes,” offers free Dollywood tickets, and her date later hugs them after learning they’re teachers; They also describe a driver who stops on a green arrow and end by asking, “what is wrong with people?”

Stacy and Carol record their “Start a List” episode from a hotel room at the Inn at Christmas Place in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, on their first mini trip together since retiring, noting travel fatigue and improvised tech. They interview each other with random questions: both would time travel to the past (Carol to the late 1940s–50s; Stacy to revisit childhood and grandparents), neither can fold a fitted sheet, and they share best and worst jobs (Stacy's worst: briefly waitressing at O’Charley’s; best: working at Opryland; Carol's daycare job cleaning bathrooms as a needed tradeoff, and her current specialty-cheese grocery job). Pet peeves include unpreparedness, loud phone use in restaurants, bad driving, and lateness. Carol coins “chap shadow” after a student used menthol Chapstick as eyeshadow. Stacy recounts a bizarre teacher gift: a lace-and-ribbon Bible hot-glued to a small podium. They discuss lifetime supplies (popcorn, chips and queso, sleep/health, money) and propose Olympic sports like cooking dinner or dancing, then recommend the hotel and wrap up.
