Welcome to First Thoughts! Every episode each host brings a different topic which we hope the other doesn’t know. When given the name of the topic, the other co-hosts have to try and figure out what that topic refers to, using only the name of the topic as their starting point. We present our “first thoughts” on what we think the topic is, getting either very close to guessing the real meaning, or falling short. Eventually, we're schooled on what the topic actually is! We learn something, you learn something, and we share our friendly banter along the way.
