Podcast Summary: The Sip with Ryland Adams & Lizze Gordon

Episode: Tasting EVERYTHING on SUBWAY’S Thanksgiving Menu with Shane!!

Release Date: November 26, 2025

Main Theme

This episode finds Ryland and Lizze in maximum relatable, unfiltered form as they catch up on chaotic family life, pop culture headlines, and—most notably—taste test the full lineup of Subway’s ambitious Thanksgiving-themed subs, joined by Shane. Between candid venting, celebrity gossip, and a surprisingly wholesome take on fast food feasts, the conversation bounces through humor, sarcasm, and moments of true vulnerability.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Merch Launch Mayhem & Family Chaos

[00:07–04:57]

• Ryland and Lizze commiserate over a week of childcare fails, sleep deprivation, and the stress of launching their new podcast merch while managing businesses and houses filled with toddlers and dogs.
• The hosts dish about their high-quality merch (“the luckiest girls in the world” cropped tees, zip-ups, mugs, koozies, and friendship bracelets), immediate hoodie sellouts, and querks of international shipping and pre-orders.
• Ryland: “We ordered a lot of hoodies and didn’t expect they’d be in such demand that they’re already sold out in most sizes.” [03:35]

2. Pregnancy Woes, Sleep Struggles, & Yeast Infections

[06:04–10:29]

• Lizze details late-pregnancy discomfort—insomnia, a baby “grinding on my cervix and poking out my ass,” and her struggles to get comfortable.
• A tangent about dogs transitions into Lizze’s vivid description of suffering her first yeast infection, which she attributes to well-meaning “woo woo” Instagram advice involving olive oil.
• Lizze: “You try to do something that one of these woo woo girls tells you will help and then you end up with a yeast infection.” [08:17]

3. Parenting, Pets & Domestic Disasters

[10:30–16:12]

• Both hosts recount recent hilarities and horrors: diaper blowouts, kids peeing in toy bowls (later accidentally used for feeding peas—“Don’t feed him things out of that. I can’t tell you why. Just don’t!” [14:01]), and Frenchies getting stuck in pillowcases or needing vet visits for “yeast in his tail nub.”
• Lizze: “I’d be worried about everybody else’s yeast but my own. You know what I’m saying?” [10:23]

4. Ad Breaks (Briefly Skipped)

• Ads for HoneyLove bras, Aura Frames, Squarespace, and SeatGeek are interspersed. The hosts engage in personalized discussions but content summaries omit these segments per instructions.

5. The Never-Ending Battle of Domestic Organization

[19:39–24:06]

• Lizze unleashes rage about her husband Joe’s inability to maintain organization: stockpiling supplements, clutter, dish racks, and a lack of follow-through with simple tasks (“Joe needs to be there [with the organizer], and then you guys need to create solutions he can…” [24:36]).
• Ryland empathizes, describing his own need to hire cleaners to avoid resentment.

6. Thanksgiving & Relationship Drama

[31:20–37:43]

• Lizze vents about Joe volunteering to host Thanksgiving—with his camera crew, no less—while she’s 9 months pregnant. She’s adamant: “No. The fuck you can’t.” [33:45]
• Ryland contemplates the pressure holiday cooking puts on family life, sharing their reluctance to do a big meal unless it’s truly meaningful.

7. Girls’ Night Out & Machine Gun Kelly

[39:49–45:28]

• The hosts recount their wild, late-night outing to the Machine Gun Kelly concert, using a backstage pass courtesy of Sophie (MGK’s guitarist), and surviving a “torrential downpour” trying to get in.
• Lizze softens, revealing her deep (if complicated) affection for MGK: “I just want to be his mother.” [41:27]
• The exhaustion post-concert is real—no drugs involved, but hosts are wiped out: “I felt like we ate a bag of Molly and smoked a carton of cigarettes.” — Lizze [43:02]

8. Hot Topics & Celebrity Gossip Round-Up

[54:32–63:27]

• A viral NYC “corner cigarette” event draws 1500 attendees (“America is healing.” — Lizze [55:32]).
• Taylor Swift’s (rumored) Rhode Island wedding plans, mostly dismissed as probable internet fiction.
• Heinz’s post-Thanksgiving “squeezable gravy” gets roasted: “Cold gravy…in a bottle…makes me want to die.” — Elizabeth [58:39]
• Justin & Hailey Bieber’s relationship under scrutiny (with Ryland defending their privacy).
• Olivia Rodrigo, Chapel Roan, and Lady Gaga are spotted together at a concert, but the hosts mainly speculate.

MEMORABLE QUOTES

• “You try to do something that one of these woo woo girls tells you will help and then you end up with a yeast infection.” — Lizze, [08:17]
• “Just print out a picture of a hoodie and show it to a person and say it’s coming January.” — Ryland, [04:26]
• “If you have a baby and he starts just pissing willy nilly…grab a cup nearby.” — Lizze (recounting the “pee bowl” incident), [14:03]
• “I would have taken that story from you to the grave if you had told me.” — Ryland, on outing the pee bowl story, [13:50]
• “No man should give a woman a life note while she’s pregnant or within two years of having a child. Just eat the [food].” — Lizze, [44:02]
• “I just want people to be their best.” — Lizze, [41:46]
• “Thanksgiving dinner in a sandwich—after you make Thanksgiving, the next day you put it into a sandwich with the dinner rolls. That’s literally what it was.” — Ryland (reviewing Subway’s Thanksgiving sub), [81:27]

Subway Thanksgiving Menu Tasting: Play-by-Play

[66:39–77:48]

• The menu features three subs: Festive Chicken, Festive Turkey, and the “Turkey Hamkin” (turkey, ham, and chicken).
• Lizze avoids deli meats due to pregnancy; both praise the stuffing and cranberry sauce combo.
• Chicken sub is “shockingly good,” reminiscent of “what you’d make with leftovers.”
• Hamkin (“too much variety”) gets a thumbs down; less is more.
• “If you like Thanksgiving dinner…make a trip!” — Ryland [74:51]
• Shane’s late review: “It tastes shockingly homemade, which I guess is good and surprising for Subway.” [80:27]
• The hosts agree: The chicken version is best, and all the sandwiches are best served warm.

Additional Highlights

• Extended laughs about the woes and weirdness of modern family life, especially when partners’ “systems” just create more work.
• Ryland, Lizze, and Shane’s dynamic is playful, self-deprecating, and at times, cathartic as they air grievances and find humor in domestic chaos.

Episode Flow & Tone

• Less a segmented show, more a continuous, hilarious, and chaotic conversation. The hosts toggle between relatable parental suffering, sarcastic partnership complaints, and hot takes on everything from sandwich ingredients to A-list celebrity marriages.
• The tone is candid, funny, and saturated with pop culture references; the hosts’ vulnerability and chemistry anchor even the wilder tangents.

For Listeners Who Missed the Episode:

This was a quintessential “Sip” episode: real-life messes meet celebrity tea, and even the most basic fast food item gets the full, dramatic taste-test treatment. The chaos of toddler pee, organizing disasters, and the Subway Thanksgiving menu all take center stage, but underpinned by deep friendship, humor, and just enough heart to keep you coming back.
