Everybody and Their Cousin

Cousins, this week we’re covering the full spectrum of human experience: hormones, hauntings, reality television, and whatever is happening at a Katy Perry concert these days.

We kick things off with a breakdown of the menstrual cycle and its various phases, proving once and for all that it is impossible to get a clear picture of what is going on with women's bodies. Molly then presents evidence that her school may or may not be experiencing paranormal activity.

We also discuss some truly unhinged Katy Perry concert footage making the rounds online. Finally, Jill and Molly tackle their biggest logistical challenge yet: creating a game plan for watching both the U.S. and U.K. versions of Love Island simultaneously.

Cousins, Molly is RATTLED at the start of this week’s episode after a sighting of the ghost of Jill’s landline past. This leads us into a discussion of the child-coded urge to hang up on strangers and when it’s okay (and/or necessary) to discipline other people’s children.

Next, Jill has a big update about her quest to become a single mother (to a puppy) and spreads the gospel about her new TV obsession, Rivals. 

Luckily for all of us cousins, Natalie has sent in a truly life-changing email with commentary and behind-the-scenes tea about the Real Housewives of Rhode Island, which leads Jill and Molly to discuss how to tell when something is financial abuse versus when you are just bad at budgeting. Chat, is it really bad for your spouse to use your money to pay your bills?

Then, Jill and Molly question whether Seth Myers is in fact happily married, and mourn Amy Poehler’s historically poor taste in men (see: Will Arnett). 

Of course, we then have to get into a JJL update, complete with some f*cking egregious messages Jill sort of asked for, and the surprising re-appearance and completely unsurprising re-disappearance of S. 

We have the chance to give a brief update on more Katy Perry controversy, mourn a hurdle in Molly’s skin care journey, and debate the relative merits of an Oura ring before Molly’s phone decides it’s time for us to wrap it up.

As always, please email us at mailto:[email protected] (Natalie, you’re our favourite listener this week!), rate us 5 stars, and tell your friends. Keep it cute cousins!

Cousins, did you miss us? After our controversial one-week break, we are back with important cultural discussions and insights into our future parenting philosophies.

This week, Jill and Molly ask the hard-hitting generational question: is it more millennial or Gen Z to make an unsuccessful podcast? The cousins also break down just how much they’re loving The Real Housewives of Rhode Island, continue their seemingly endless Lena Dunham discourse, and officially begin collecting donations for Jill to get Crave and finally watch the rest of Girls.

Plus, thoughts on the eternal mystery that is Mindy Kaling and B. J. Novak, and a surprisingly heated discussion about which beauty treatments we would and absolutely would NOT pay for for our future teen children.

Cousins, this week we’re welcoming our first returning guest, Mary! Jill and Mary deliver their official race report along with a full breakdown of the preceding shenanigans.

After the race report, we're diving deep into internet content as Molly brings light to the viral nun content which has her questioning ALL her life choices.

Then, in an educational segment no one asked for, Molly and Mary introduce Jill to the worlds of “Club Chalamet” and the Khia Asylum, expanding her digital literacy in ways that may or may not be helpful.

Plus, the cousins return to a familiar topic: more thoughts on Lena Dunham, because apparently we are not done discussing her.

Cousins, we’re back with another episode where we are hitting MANY corners. We follow up on the Pizza Movie prank on Cousin Bill featuring a rare cameo from the man himself, do a quick budget check-in to prove we are at least trying to be financially responsible, and dive into the wonderful world of wedding dress shopping.

Then, in a completely reasonable and not at all threatening turn, the cousins imagine a world where Jill kicks Molly out of the podcast à la Alex Cooper, leaving us with the brilliant new name of Everybody and Nobody Else.

Cousins, despite much of this episode ending up on the cutting room floor, what remains is chaotic and calling out for cancellation.

First, we discuss differing parenting styles, apologizing to children, and why Molly’s mom felt she needed to read books about how to parent troubled teens (i.e., Molly). Jill reveals that she was friends with some troubled teens in her youth and Jill and Molly find out that not every core cousin memory is remembered the same way.

Then, Jill and Molly finally gather the strength to unpack Justin Trudeau and Katy Perry’s Coachella experience (including Katy Perry’s apparent need to vape) before giving you a deep dive into what exactly is going on between Katy Perry and Ruby Rose, and accidentally convincing themselves that Jaty might be real??

Then, we get into The Drama - no, not what’s happening lately on Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, we’re talking about the new movie starring Zendaya and Robert Pattinson and why the Haim sister is bad bad news.

In a shocking turn of events, Molly fesses up to loving Lena Dunham and the cousins unpack why you can’t help but love her and why Molly would really benefit from this podcast having video. 

You know the drill - rate our podcast, tell your friends, email us at [email protected], and keep it cute this week cousins!

Cousins, we want you to know that we did record an episode this week. Getting there, however, was a journey. Molly attempts the intro not once, not twice, but three times, setting the tone for what can only be described as a technically challenged (but ultimately hilarious) episode.

Somewhere amidst the chaos, Jill introduces Molly to the word “tome,” we actually to have a real and grounded conversation about budgeting and finances, and we unpack several celebrity couples—very intentionally not including Justin Trudeau and Katy Perry.

Naturally, there are multiple technical difficulties sprinkled throughout, because that is the kind of professionalism you’ve come to expect from us. Plus, your obligatory JJL updates, because against all odds, some things remain consistent.

Thank you for sticking with us through whatever this is. As always, send us your emails at [email protected], leave a five-star rating and review, and keep it cute, cousins.

Cousins, last week we promised you that this week would be different, and needless to say we’ve delivered (shout out to Cousin of the Week Carrie for emailing us!)

Of course, it wouldn’t be Everybody and Their Cousin if we didn’t spend the first 10 (ish) minutes discussing the trials and tribulations of working out and getting Jill’s update on her upcoming half marathon. 

From there, Jill and Molly unpack Passover, including the mysteries of the Rabbinical Assembly, and how 75 Hard is just a remake of Lent.

Which brings us to our next topic: the remake of 13 Going on 30 and alllll the sequels and remakes on the horizon, including a brief discussion of Tin Tin (and his relationship to Caillou). Then it’s only natural to dive into Tin Tin’s spiritual cousin - and fellow colonizer - Babar the Elephant, including Babar’s hidden cousin connection (aka, his wife).

Turns out Babar is not the only member of the animal kingdom getting freaky with his cousin - apparently LOTS of animals loveee to inbreed. Don’t say this isn’t a science podcast! 

We round out the episode with a JJL update including how Liam messed up (we all knew he would!) 

Cousins, you know what to do - EMAIL US ([email protected]). And tell your friends, rate, review us etc. Until next time!

Cousins, this episode kicks off with an interactive game that reveals Jill's true inner strength, followed by what can only be described as a riveting conversation about the weather. If you live in Canada, hopefully this will be relatable for you, and if not, count yourselves lucky and take pity on us.

The cousins then dive into the chaos of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, unpacking the dynamics, the drama, and why we are in love with an ex-Mormon named Chase. Molly also takes a moment to appreciate a very specific and powerful archetype: women who look like MAGA blondes but are, in fact, Democrats. A nuanced discussion, if you will.

Plus, your regularly scheduled JJL updates, which lead us to the question of whether attending "Monopoly night with the boys" is a green flag or a red flag.

Cousins, hold on to your hats and rev your engines, cause we’ve got quite the episode for you this week.

Jill and Molly start off by introducing a new corner - Opp of the Week. Jill’s opp this week is the AI lady on Runna who tells her to “speed up” while she’s running in a truly violent way. 

Then, we dive into some listener emails (with tangents along the way, of course). Our good friend Andrea Demarsi is back with some stats, and Molly’s dad has written in with, among other things, a reminder of Molly’s Irish-Swedish roots. Which begs the question - does Molly’s family talk too much about being Irish? 

Then, it’s time for a doozy of a JJL update. Jill regales her cousin with the tale of her first date of 2026, and to say it was an ick from start to finish would be an understatement.

As always, we hope you stay cute and that you email us at [email protected]! We will try not to roast your email on the pod (but no promises). Don’t forget to speed up this week cousins!
