  • From Heartbreak to Hope: The Story Behind Regan’s Acts of Kindness
    Jan 30 2026

    In Episode 5 of Crazy Real with Bugge & Zogg, Jenn “Bugge” and Marissa “Zogg” welcome on Jenn’s longtime friend Kelly Shetsky for a conversation that’s equal parts heartbreaking, inspiring, and very real. Kelly shares the story of her daughter Regan, who tragically passed away at nearly four years old, and how their family turned unimaginable loss into a lasting mission through Regan’s Acts of Kindness.

    Kelly walks Bugge & Zogg through the community projects that keep Regan’s memory shining—like the ornament drive that brings joy to thousands of kids each year, the annual book drive in Regan’s birth month, and the beloved “Regan’s Corner” at the Wild Animal Park. They also talk candidly about grief—how different it looks for everyone, why people can feel awkward around loss, and what it means to “grieve better busy.”

    And because this is Crazy Real, the episode also takes a hilarious turn into parenting older kids—middle school chaos, teen attitudes, Snapchats, “letting it marinate,” and all the stuff nobody warns you about.

    If you’ve ever wondered how to keep someone’s legacy alive—or you just need a reminder that kindness still spreads farther than you think—this episode will stick with you.

  • From Syracuse to the Castle: Real Talk Disney Planning with @DisneyDoneSimply
    Jan 16 2026

    Planning a Disney trip sounds magical… until you’re drowning in lingo, dining windows, Genie/Lightning Lane strategies, and a thousand “must-dos” from Facebook groups.

    In this episode of Crazy Real with Bugge & Zogg, Jenn “Bugge” and Marissa “Zogg” welcome Sara Crandell (@disneydonesimply) — a Disney travel advisor with @wedotravelright — to break down how to plan a Disney vacation without losing your mind (or your budget).

    Sara shares how she became a Disney-focused travel advisor, the sweet spot for planning (6–8 months out, plus the big 60-day dining mark), and what she asks clients first (budget, park pace, rest days, resort vibe, and dining goals). They also dig into whether Park Hopper is worth it for first-timers, how to build in pool days so it still feels like a vacation, and money-saving tips like grocery delivery, snacks in the park, and smarter meal planning.

    Plus: Disney World vs. Disneyland, why Disney Cruise is a whole different kind of relaxing, Sara’s favorite resorts, favorite snacks, and Bugge’s big dream of someday getting the Disney “come on down!” invite. ✨

  • From Syracuse to the World: Lazarus Sims on Basketball, Leadership, and Life
    Jan 2 2026

    In this episode of Crazy Real with Bugge & Zogg, Jenn and Marissa sit down with former professional basketball player Lazarus Sims for an honest, wide-ranging conversation that goes far beyond the court.

    Lazarus shares his journey growing up on Syracuse’s South Side, becoming a McDonald’s All-American, starring at Syracuse University, and playing professionally overseas, in the CBA, and with the Harlem Globetrotters. But what makes this episode special isn’t just his résumé — it’s the perspective he’s gained along the way.

    Together, they dive into what it really takes to succeed at every level of sports, the mental discipline required to grow as an athlete, and why basketball is ultimately about preparing for life. Lazarus opens up about coaching youth athletes, working with parents, teaching leadership, and helping kids become comfortable being uncomfortable. He also shares thoughtful insights on NIL deals, why athletes should be paid — but responsibly — and how chasing money too early can distract from purpose.

    The conversation continues with real talk on parenting, youth sports today, resilience, failure, motivation, and the lessons kids learn just by showing up. From intense drills and mental toughness to family, growth, and giving back to the community, this episode captures what Crazy Real is all about — authentic conversations, meaningful lessons, and the realities of life behind the highlights.

    Whether you’re a parent, coach, athlete, or just someone navigating life’s challenges, this episode delivers inspiration, honesty, and perspective you won’t want to miss.
