  • BEING FRIENDS POD EPISODE 100!

    We have a very special episode this week, we made it to 100 episodes!!!

    For this momentous milestone, we decided to get together IRL and use our new tiny mics (we are obsessed) on Jess's couch.

    This one is a Jess and Toni-ann special, everyone! If you think we are chaotic on our webcams, just imagine how ridiculous we are together in person!

    To make it even more special, we recorded on Toni-ann's Birthday!

    With our tiny mics and mango margaritas in hand, we discuss several crazy topics for you all: 

    -We realize Jess actually never understood the plot of Cinderella

    -We ponder what is in the air when it is nice out that requires us to spend money? 

    -Some book/movie talk - Patrick Schwarzenegger is NOT our Gus Everett, and Hollywood book adaptations on the whole

    -And of course, we briefly touch on the Mets, who are SO miserable that we don't want to spend too much time on them at all. 

    We had a great time recording this! Please share, like and subscribe if you can! We would also appreciate some positive reviews of our show so more people can find us! 

    Thanks to all who stuck with us through 100 episodes, maybe within the next 100 we can gain some more followers LOL. 

    Thanks for Being Our Friend!

    This week we have an abrupt end due to the chaos in Jess's house, but we have a good episode otherwise! 

    Topics include:

    -Jess's toddler learned a new insult. 

    -How to really gauge an Amazon product and if it is worth the purchase.

    -The reality TV headlines are BOOMING and we are discussing the latest Summer House Drama aka filling in Toni-ann and discussing SLOMW headlines as well.

    -The Mets are back and we don't have horrible things to say yet, but we also don't have great things to report either.

  • Being Friends Ep 98 - Jess Tries Pilates, Toni-ann Tries Pickleball

    Happy Friday Friends! 

    This week we are ranting about everything. 

    Jess tried Pilates and her first class was nothing short of chaotic in a typical Jess fashion. Luckily no fainting happened, but she was pretty close. 

    Toni-ann went to Florida and finally played PicklebBall. Spoiler Alert: she is good at it, and so of course we will now never hear the end of it. 

    Why are people still obsessed with Chipotle? We do not feel the same, they make weird quesadillas and their queso sucks.

    Other topics this week include: Marty Supreme, Hannah Montana, Age of Attraction, Love is Blind Hoboken(?) and MLB Opening Day.

  • Being Friends Ep 97 - False Spring, and What We're Watching

    Welcome Back to Being Friends with Jess and Toni-ann!

    This week, we are mostly talking about what we are watching but before that review, we are discussing some other topics.

    This week we experienced our 1st false spring of 2026 (and most likely not the last). We had a fabulous 80 degree day and two days later we are expecting snow- such a tease, but we made the most of it.

    The World Baseball Classic is in full swing and we are obsessed with the Italian team and their espresso machine. 

    Jersey Shore is Leaving MTV, so is MTV going to go back to their original ways? We have ideas, so give us a call, MTV!

    Jess (partially watched) the newest Jurassic Park and had many thoughts about how dumb the people in these movies are. 

    Lastly, we are fully discussing Bridgerton Season 4, so if you did not watch you will be spoiled! In our recap we have trouble remembering anyone's name for some reason, so we are also playing 'Guess that Bridgerton Character.'

    That is all for this week! Thanks for Being Our Friend.

  • Being Friends 96 - Punch the Monkey, No One is Neighborly Anymore, and Snow > Rain

    Welcome Back for another Friday of Rants from the Friends. 


    This week, both Toni-ann and Jess cannot keep it together over Punch the Monkey and this viral story. We are too emotional and honestly can barely talk about it.

    We are catching up on two weeks of life, so the Blizzard made its way into this week's rants because Toni-ann's neighbor caused complete chaos with the plowing situation, her other neighbors were gonna throw down in the street and what has happened to the days where we all had common courtesy in a snow storm? 

    Jess is ranting about needing to do school drop off in the rain. Snow might linger but it is much more joyful and prettier than the gloom of rain. Also, you get less wet in the snow so, snow > rain. 

    We did not win Knicks Best Friends Night tickets, so we still cannot afford to see "Our Knicks."  

    Next week we are diving into Bridgerton, so get caught up if you're not! 

    Thanks for Being Our Friend!

  • Being Friends Ep 95 - Hannah Montana Special, Winter Olympics Week 2, and TV Update

    Welcome Back Friends! 

    This week's pod is short and sweet. We are kicking it off with our Ridiculous Things and Toni-ann and her customer service call is VERY relatable.

    This week it was announced that a Hannah Montana 20 year anniversary special is coming. We are discussing our excitement and thoughts on what it may or may not be. 

    The Olympics are almost over, and we are discussing what has gone on since the last episode and what we are looking forward to in the final days. 

    Lastly, Tell Me Lies has ended and since Jess doesn't watch - we are letting Toni-ann answer all her questions on if this was as abrupt as it seemed. Also, some of the cast is dating each other and we are unsure how they keep the character and real person separate from each other - but I guess that is why we are not actors. 

    That's all we got this week! Thanks for Being Our Friend!

  • Being Friends Ep 94 - Winter Olympics, Benito Bowl, and Spring Training

    Happy Galentines friends AND Happy Friday! 

    We are back and recapping Toni-ann's Lake Placid Ski Trip! 

    We are also loving the Winter Olympics and talking about some of the results so far. The snubbed Ice Dancing results, Luge, Ski Jump and more! 

    We recapped Super Bowl Sunday and Bad Bunny's half time performance. 

    Spring Training has begun! The Mets are making changes and we are judging the Pitchers first day of school signs for their very uncreative answers! 

    It is a quick one, but enjoy and Thanks for Being Our Friend!

  • Being Friends Ep 93 - 10 degrees vs. 100 degrees, and the Sad State of Today's Concert Tickets

    Welcome back for another episode everyone! 

    It has been a few weeks, so the majority of this episode is us catching you up on the ridiculousness of our lives. Jess got plenty of chaos in her life, while Toni-ann tells us about her skiing trip and travel encounters. 

    We are also debating our favorite topic, summer vs winter. This has been a hot topic of our entire friendship, but neither of us are changing our ground. 

    Ticketmaster is still a rotten monopoly, and getting tickets to concerts continues to be the modern day Hunger Games - may the odds ever be in your favor.  

    Jess's house is imploding by the end of this episode so we ended somewhat abruptly- we hope you enjoy and thanks for being our friend!

  • Being Friends Ep 92 - Golden Globes, LA Mom Group Drama, and The 2026 Verizon Outage

    Happy Friday Friends! 

    Welcome back for another week of chaos with us! 

    We are recapping the Golden Globes, which of courses means we criticize a lot! 

    Toni-ann is adding a new show to her watch list, surprise surprise

    The Pitt is back! 

    LA Mom Group drama - who is in the wrong: Ashley Tisdale, Hilary Duff, Mandy Moore, or all of them?

    Our experience surviving a day without a phone, thanks to the Verizon outage.

    And finally, in Miserable Mets land, the Mets have done ABSOLUTELY nothing, and Spring Training is approaching. 

    Thanks for listening and Thanks For Being Our Friend!

  • Being Friends Ep 91 - It's 2026 & We're Back

    Happy New Year Friends! 

    After a much needed break for the holidays, we are back and giving you an episode that is truly what we intended this podcast to be. 

    We are starting it off with the epic fail of us trying to have a nice night out, and as our luck would have it, things did not go according to plan. 

    Toni-ann is sharing her dinner problems, lack of Chocolatey Stars, and terrible luck with her upcoming travels and weather not being on her side.

    Jess is old and judging the youth for the things they will do for Instagram pics 

    Extra Hot Coffee - why is this a thing? But Dunkin' insider Toni-ann gives the scoop on this

    New Phone Update - why?

    And in Miserable Mets land - McNeil is gone, the Mets are really not doing anything this off season, and the Jets are going to blow their first-round picks.

    That's all we got! Thanks for Being Our Friend
