💬 “Don’t worry about doing it well, just do it.” A quote from The Mountain Is You to inspire you to show up and keep creating.

📚 The Mountain is You by Brianna Wiest

This week on The Blonde Hour, I’m recapping my trip to Louisiana—hot weather, good food, and even better stories. Then we dive into The Blonde Report, where things get a little reflective, a little educational, and totally worth the listen.

The Blonde Report this week covers:

🧠 Body & Brain: 5 eating habits that can actually help you sleep better (because yes, I could nap any time, anywhere)

✝️ Latest Tea: Honoring the late Phil Robertson by sharing the wisdom and faith he poured into the world

🪙 On Our Planet: The U.S. says goodbye to the penny—Abe, it’s been real

👵🏼 Near & Dear: A reminder that true friendship knows no age limit… especially when it starts at 100

🏒 Duh, Sports: Team USA hockey makes history—and gives us a reason to cheer

🇺🇸 Extra Dose: A teen builds a veterans memorial for his hometown—an older story, but a perfect nod to Memorial Day

This week on The Blonde Hour, I start off with a classic life update—because you know I can’t keep things short. I’ve been watching my favorite shows (The Pitt, 9-1-1, and The Last of Us) and they’ve been delivering. I also picked up a book for the first time in forever and WOW, I forgot how good reading is. Like why did no one tell me??

Then, what was supposed to be a quick story turns into a full-on travel diary. I just got back from the most beautiful trip with my family—we went to Jackson Hole, stayed in Teton Village, and explored Yellowstone like little outdoorsy legends. So many laughs, cute memories, and one story that may or may not involve bears. You’ll have to listen.

And of course, we wrap it all with this week’s Blonde Report—six chaotic, inspiring, and sometimes straight-up unbelievable segments:

• Body & Brain: Meet Vanellope Wilkins, born with her heart outside her body. In 2017, 50 surgeons worked together to put it back in—and now she’s thriving. Actual superhero origin story.

• Latest Tea: We have a brand new pope! Pope Leo is in the Vatican building things (metaphorically), and I’ve got all the random facts about him you didn’t know you needed.

• Our Planet: Three genius teens invented a salt-powered fridge called Thermavault. It works without electricity and sounds fake—but it’s totally real and kind of iconic.

• Near & Dear: Linwood Riddick just graduated from college at 80 years old. Yes, 8-0. Proof that it’s never too late to chase a dream. Or get a cap and gown moment.

• Duh Sports: The Kentucky Derby had its drama, its horses, and its winners—so obviously I break it all down like I know how horse racing works.

• Extra Dose: Disney just announced a brand-new park. Dreams are coming true, wallets are trembling, and I’m already mentally in line for a churro.

This episode is your reminder to live a little—read a book, take a trip, chase a dream, or invent a fridge if you’re feeling ambitious. Life’s wild. Let’s talk about it.
