    From Candy Bowls to Ballot Boxes

    From Halloween candy to campaign commercials, we're covering two of the most talked-about events of the season—and yes, we're doing it in costume! We're kicking things off with a little Halloween nostalgia, reminiscing about trick-or-treating back in the day, wondering where all the trick-or-treaters have gone, and debating whether Halloween costumes are worth keeping. We're also sharing our favorite candies (and which ones we're stealing from our kids' bags), our thoughts on couples' costumes, and how Halloween outfits seem to get a little more revealing every year. Then, just in time for Election Day, we're switching gears to talk about something a little more serious: politics. But don't worry, we're not here to tell you who to vote for or what to believe. Instead, we're discussing the overwhelming flood of political texts and commercials, how confusing the voting process can feel, and what we actually understand about how our government works, who makes the laws, and who enforces them. And of course, we couldn't leave out the people who somehow manage to bring politics into EVERY conversation—or those who have made their political opinions their entire personality. It's a little spooky, a little educational, a little opinionated, and full of the usual tangents. Whether you're here for the Halloween memories or the Election Day conversation, there's plenty to unpack. So grab your leftover Halloween candy, get comfortable, and join us for an episode that's equal parts tricks, treats, and talking politics! Make sure to follow us on all socials at tmi.fyi !!

    We Don’t Make the Rules.. But We Should

    If we could rewrite the rules of everyday life, there are a few things we'd change immediately… and a few things we'd bring back without a second thought. This week on TMI FYI, we're sharing our very unofficial list of things we think the world could do without. From people who talk through movies and Broadway shows to the growing obsession with filming yourself during fitness classes, we're calling out some of the everyday behaviors that drive us absolutely crazy. And can someone please explain why EVERYTHING needs its own app?! We're also getting into some potentially unpopular opinions about gender reveal parties, school projects that are really just homework for parents, over-the-top birthday goodie bags, endless teacher gifts, open floor plans, shoes-off households, and the dreaded mandatory Zoom camera. Naturally, we don't agree on everything—and that's half the fun. But we're not just here to complain! We're also taking a little trip down memory lane to talk about the things we'd love to see make a comeback. Think bookstores, toy stores, roller-skating rinks, mini golf, and the simple satisfaction of starting your car with an actual key. Some of our opinions might be controversial, some might be completely unreasonable, and others might have you saying, "FINALLY, someone said it!" So, if you could make the rules, what would you get rid of, and what would you bring back? Make sure to follow us on all socials at tmi.fyi !!

    ell Me You Grew Up Hispanic Without Telling Me — Part 2

    You asked, and we listened! We're back with Part 2 of "Tell Me You Grew Up Hispanic Without Telling Me" because apparently, one episode wasn't nearly enough to unpack the hilarious, chaotic, and wonderfully unique experience of growing up in a Hispanic household. This time, we're diving even deeper into the unspoken rules, family traditions, and cultural quirks that shaped our childhoods. From being told you couldn't go out two days in a row (because apparently having fun came with a limit) to never missing Sunday church, we're reminiscing about the things that made growing up Hispanic an experience all its own. We're talking about the dreaded "¿Y el novio?" or "¿Y la novia?" interrogation at every family gathering, why your relationship status was basically public information, and how everyone somehow ended up being your primo, prima, tío, or tía—whether you were actually related or not. We also get into the importance of what other people think, the expectation that you stay close to family (as in, geographically close), and why being "tired" was never a valid excuse for anything. And of course, we couldn't leave out the iconic traditions and cultural staples: quinceañeras that practically rival weddings, Nochebuena celebrations, Miami's beloved cafecito culture, the Spanish words that simply cannot be translated, and the legendary chancleta that needs absolutely no introduction. Some of these memories still make us laugh, some make us wonder how we survived, and others remind us just how special our upbringing really was. Because no matter how old we get, there are some things about growing up Hispanic that will always be a part of who we are. And honestly? We wouldn't have it any other way.

    Welcome to Our Off-Camera Conversations

    Ever wonder what our conversations sound like when the cameras aren't rolling? Well… pretty much exactly like this. This week, we're throwing the topic list out the window and letting the conversation go wherever it wants to go—and somehow, we cover just about everything. We're talking women's health, pelvic floors, stretch therapy, questionable bodily functions, and some very personal (and probably unnecessary) stories. We debate male massage therapists, admit that neither of us really knows how to relax, discuss where dogs absolutely do—and do NOT—belong, and give our take on the viral debate about showing up to a job interview with an iced coffee in hand. And because this conversation takes more turns than we can count, things also get a little more serious as we discuss loss, drug addiction, the fentanyl crisis, smoking, quitting cigarettes, and the realities behind some of these difficult topics. There's no theme, no perfectly planned transition, and absolutely no telling where we're headed next. It's funny, personal, occasionally TMI, sometimes serious, and basically a front-row seat to what our conversations sound like when no one else is supposed to be listening. Consider this your invitation to pull up a chair and join the group chat. Make sure to follow us on all socials at tmi.fyi !!

    Break-Ups, Heartbreak, & All That Comes With It

    First loves, first heartbreaks, second chances, and the exes we'd probably rather not run into at the drug store… this week, we're talking all things breakups. For this episode, we're looking back at our own experiences with love and heartbreak—from losing our first loves to being on the other side and having to be the person who ends a relationship. Because as painful as getting dumped can be, realizing you're the one who has to break someone else's heart comes with its own very strange set of emotions. We also get into all those unwritten rules that come AFTER the breakup. Can you actually be friends with an ex? Do on-again, off-again relationships ever work? When do you finally delete the couple photos from Instagram? What do you do when you unexpectedly run into them? And when you share mutual friends, is it ever fair to expect anyone to choose sides? Plus, we share our takes on second chances, why sometimes "moving on" starts long before the relationship officially ends, and what we've learned about knowing when a relationship has truly run its course. And because we couldn't talk about breakups without having a little fun with it, we're ending the episode with an "Is This Dump-Worthy?" lightning round to decide which relationship offenses deserve a conversation…and which ones might deserve a goodbye. Whether you've had your heart broken, broken someone else's, gone back to an ex you swore you were done with—or done all three—we've got plenty to talk about.

    Tell Me You Grew Up Hispanic Without Telling Me

    If you grew up Hispanic, chances are at least a few of these are going to feel VERY familiar. For our second episode of Season 2—and a topic requested by one of you!—we’re taking a trip down memory lane and talking about what it was really like growing up in Hispanic families. From strict dating rules (especially if you were a girl) and chaperoned dates to having your entire social life put on hold because relatives were visiting from back home, we’re reminiscing about all the little things that made our childhoods uniquely ours. We’re talking about being handed the phone to “say hi” to a relative you swear you’ve never met, greeting every single person at a party with a kiss on the cheek, and, of course, operating on Hispanic time. Then there are the parties themselves—late nights, domino tables, cigar circles, pig roasts in the caja china, and enough food to feed three times the number of people who were actually invited. And it wouldn’t be complete without the nicknames that made absolutely no sense, Abuela’s sewing supplies hiding inside the cookie tin, the iconic bata de casa, the perfectly decorated living room nobody was actually allowed to sit in, and ALL the superstitions. Evil eye? Absolutely. Going outside with wet hair? Don’t even think about it. Twelve grapes at midnight on New Year’s Eve? You better start chewing. Some of it made us laugh, some of it drove us crazy, and a lot of it we didn’t fully appreciate until we got older. But looking back, these traditions, quirks, rules, and memories are part of what made us who we are—and we wouldn’t trade any of it for the world. Make sure to follow us on all socials at tmi.fyi !!
