Author: My Cultura and iHeartPodcasts April 16, 2026 Duration: 59:13

Come on in and have a seat! Cute outfit! Can we take your coat? This week, Stephanie and Melissa dive into the wild world of Going Out to Eat. On the menu today: Steph's first Big Restaurant Memory (unlimited shirley temples at the Flying Dutchman in Texas, hello?!) and grand tales from Melissa's Sizzler Phase when she'd eat anyone under the table. Plus — the ladies open up about the intricacies of the LA food scene and the skill needed to eat a whole fish. (Mel's very Cuban mom will only leave an eyeball, props.) Afters at Olive Garden! First breadstick's on us.

You know that conversation you have with your closest friend, the one that swings from deeply personal struggles to absurd observations about a grocery store encounter? That’s the space More Better with Stephanie & Melissa occupies every week. Real-life friends and actors Stephanie Beatriz and Melissa Fumero, known for their roles on Brooklyn Nine-Nine, bring their authentic, hilarious, and supportive dynamic straight to your ears. This isn’t a structured advice show; it’s the sound of two amigas figuring it out as they go, and inviting you along for the ride. They tackle the messy, beautiful, and often ridiculous aspects of modern life-from parenting and career pivots to cultural identity and just getting through the day. The heart of this podcast is in their unwavering friendship, where they genuinely help each other navigate challenges, aiming for that “more better” version of themselves. Listeners are essentially eavesdropping on a priceless, laughter-filled phone call where the cheat codes for adulting are shared alongside vulnerable confessions and uncontrollable giggles. Produced by My Cultura and iHeartPodcasts, the show lives in the rich intersection of Society and Culture, exploring how personal stories connect to bigger pictures. Tune in for a weekly dose of camaraderie that feels like a much-needed hangout, guaranteed to leave you feeling a bit more seen and a lot more better.
