Well, well, well, look who’s back! It’s Riley and Jaj, your trusty hosts who apparently forget they even have a podcast when summer hits. But hey, after the best girls' night movie date ever (70 of you showed up, no biggie), we’re here to break it all down—complete with tears, popcorn, and some unexpected male fans (cough John cough).

We’re spilling all the tea on the movie drama, the books, and—oh yes—the Blake Lively outfit fiasco (who okayed that wardrobe?!). Plus, what’s up with the actors stirring the pot? Domestic violence themes? PR gone wild? We unpack it all with our usual snark and a few side-eyes.

But that’s not all! We chat about sinking jet skis at Lake Powell, navigating the chaos of back-to-school, and gasp actually being excited for fall. Yep, we're "fall girlies" through and through—even if that just means pumpkin everything. 
 
Whether you’re dragging your feet back to routine or still daydreaming about summer, you’ll relate to this wild ride. Tune in, laugh with us, and grab a snack because, well, food is life.

This week we’re diving into a totally off-the-wall episode that’s guaranteed to make you question everything you know—or thought you knew. 

We're holding off until next week to cover our GAN GNO, where we held a private screening of It Ends With Us for our Goodie Gang, so we're pivoting and diving into the most random facts you’ll ever hear. Want to know which musician supposedly had ribs removed for a questionable reason? We got you. Curious about why pirates really wore eye patches? Spoiler: It wasn’t just for the looks.

If you’ve ever wondered about the weird things pandas do or how green apples can (allegedly) help you lose weight just by smelling them, this episode is your new obsession. 

So grab your headphones, settle in, and get ready to learn the weirdest, wildest facts while we laugh our way through another random Tuesday. Trust us, you won’t want to miss this one!

Hey, hey, hey! It’s Rylee and Jaj, your favorite podcast duo back at it again, just trying to figure out when the kids start school. Seriously, August has us questioning everything - is it the 2nd? The 14th? Who knows?!

In this episode, we're tackling the chaos of back-to-school season, but more importantly, our BIG EVENT is just around the corner! Pajamas, boas, and all - get ready for the ultimate girls' night out for the 'It Ends With Us' movie premiere. We're as excited as a kid on Christmas morning (but with better outfits).

We'll also dive into the latest juicy gossip about the Ballerina Farm, straight from the New York Times. Spoiler: it's not all peaches and cream. Plus, we debate the essential Olympic question: Why the heck is breakdancing a sport now? And why are NBC’s Olympic sets giving us serious 2005 vibes? + a BIG shoutout to our local Utah Olympians crushing it on the world stage.

Oh, and a little heads-up: if the movie doesn’t live up to our high expectations, just remember, we didn’t direct it, we just brought the snacks.

So buckle up, subscribe, and get ready to laugh your way through another wild week with us! 🎉

This week, we're thrilled to have the one and only Maddie Reece, who we literally dragged from lunch to the studio because, let's face it, we're that kind of spontaneous. Maddie is a girl's girl. She's that childhood BFF who becomes your maid of honor, romanticizes every guy she goes on a date with, and is a marketing genius who makes extroverts seem introverted. She's finally joining us on the pod to tell us how awkward it can get when your date's ex is sitting right next to you, her thoughts on living in Hawaii, and now that she's graduating, what's next on her list. Buckle up, because we're diving into all of that and more. So, grab your headphones, a glass of whatever keeps you sane, and get ready to feel Good as New. Tune in and let the fun begin!

Ever feel like screaming into a pillow, but the pillow just isn't enough? Welcome to "Red, White, & Vent" where we asked you, our dear listeners, what’s grinding your gears. From in-laws to laundry, no gripe was too big or too small. Tune in as we sift through the sassiest submissions, laugh at the most ridiculous rants, and maybe even offer a bit of unsolicited advice (because we're just that generous).

And guess what? This episode is brought to you by Better Help. Nothing screams "we've got your back" more than therapy you can access from your couch. Convenience meets care, and honestly, what could be better than that? So grab your noise-canceling headphones, get comfy, and let’s dive into the collective chaos of our community. Therapy and venting: a match made in podcast heaven.

There is a particular sort of pause — a small, electric interval — that comes immediately before you make a choice. This strange split-second where you freeze, reflect, take stock, and move forward.

These instances are important: it's in these seconds that we exercise our greatest form of agency. We take responsibility for the shape of our narratives. We remind ourselves of the massive scope of our power. Whether embarking on our first solo trip or coming out to a loved one, these moments often become turning points in our lives.

Did CJ pause before he climbed into the truck that would forever separate him from his family? And you've heard from Jaj frequently about how that moment forever changed her life and by extension, the lives of those who love them. 

Some things are big, some are small, but all are meaningful. We asked you about the moments that have shaped and changed the way you think, love, feel, and ultimately, live. One thing is super clear: from near-death experiences to moving across the world, your experiences have definitely shaped you into truly remarkable individuals.
