Jaime and Vicki invite you:

Settle in with a glass of wine and good company. Out On The Lanai is your weekly mid-week retreat where two lifelong friends, Jaime and Vicki, kick back on the poolside lanai and hold court over whatever’s on their minds. Equal parts heartfelt and hilarious, each episode blends:

  • Real-talk on stuff-stuff (from global conflicts to the pop-culture moments that shaped us)
  • Gen-X nostalgia (digging through show-and-tell treasures from the ’70s, ’80s and ’90s)
  • Live trivia rounds (play along, challenge your friends, or just cheer from the sidelines)

Whether you need a laugh, a little perspective, or just a friendly mid-week pick-me-up, Out On The Lanai is where serious conversations and silly stories flow as freely as the wine. Tune in Wednesdays at 8 PM ET on YouTube or right here on our site—your seat at the table is waiting.

Jaime and Vicki the Riveters

How ChatGPT describes us?!?! – No seriously and it’s scary.

Jaime

  • The Big-Picture Thinker. Jaime brings curiosity, compassion, and a journalist’s knack for asking the right questions. She’s the friend who notices global trends, social-justice headlines, or the next hot documentary—and can unpack them with equal measures of insight and empathy.
  • Pop-Culture Maven. A ’90s kid at heart, she delights in “Where Are They Now?” flashbacks, obscure movie trivia, and tracking down the perfect throwback playlist.
  • Warm and Outgoing. Jaime’s laugh is contagious; she’s the one making quick connections with new people poolside, recommending books that changed her life, or raising a thoughtful toast.

Vicki

  • Tech-Savvy Storyteller. By day, Vicki builds software; by night, she weaves together personal anecdotes, ’80s nostalgia, and metaphors that somehow make sense over a glass of wine.
  • Witty Realist. She balances Jaime’s big-picture musings with sharp, down-to-earth humor—and never shies away from calling out silly double-standards or celebrating small wins.
  • Loyal Connector. Vicki is the friend who remembers the little details: your favorite emoji, the name of that indie band you loved in college, or exactly how you take your pinot.

Together as Friends

Mid-Week Sanctuary. Their lanai sessions are less “recorded show” and more “girls’ night in,” where wine flows, tales spill, and real friendship shines through every topic—whether it’s policy, pop-culture, or who makes the best 90s power-ballad karaoke.

Complimentary Contrast. Jaime’s idealism dances with Vicki’s pragmatism—so conversations can veer from heartfelt “What’s the state of the world?” to playful “Remember that time we tried synchronized swimming?” in a single breath.

Unshakable Support. They’ve weathered career pivots, long-distance moves, and those “Why didn’t I save that file?!” moments together, always ready with encouragement (and occasionally a gentle roast).

Effortless Rapport. Years of shared laughter and honest talk mean they finish each other’s sentences, seamlessly tag-team trivia challenges, and create a space where nothing feels off-limits—serious or silly.Wednesdays at 8 PM ET on YouTube or right here on our site—your seat at the table is waiting.
