She just did something no guest has ever done on this show: ranked Connecticut number one.
On Episode 93, Ian and RJ sit down with Kathleen, the creator behind Connecticut Bucket List — a full-time content creator with over 250,000 followers dedicated to proving Connecticut doesn’t deserve its reputation. Kathleen shares how a post-graduation “bucket list” in her Notes app turned into a career, why she thinks Connecticut has an unfair image problem, and her honest takes on New England’s best hidden gems, worst drivers, and most overrated foods. Then she takes on the So New England ranking segment — and delivers the most shocking answer this show has ever gotten. A fun, funny, genuinely convincing case for the most slandered state in New England.
