  • EPISODE 14: Our Take on Stomach Rumbles, Jackie's Tumble and Our High School Selves
    And we're back! Happy Tuesday everyone!
    This week we have a very special episode because the three of us are all back in NY and recording together for the first time. And due to our hectic lifestyles we decided to just have a nice little catch up with each other where we discuss some fun topics like:
    - Has your stomach ever just decided to make noises for no reason? Yeah no bueno.
    - Jackie recounts the trauma that is the GRE (but don't worry, we know she'll slay the next one!)
    - A quick meander down the high school memory lane where we talk fun teachers and a dramatic HS moment for Jackie
    - Not going to the movies - seriously when was the last time you went to the movies?!
    Thanks for listening as always and feel free to connect with us on our social media platforms, we'd love to hear from all of you!

  • EPISODE 11: Our Take on Food Waste, Body Image & Alex Morgan's Baby
    **WARNING: Grey’s Anatomy spoilers are discussed in this episode! Please proceed with caution.
    At the last minute, we decided we wanted to have a little heart-to-heart with you all on the topic of body image and some of our struggles to love and accept our bodies as they are. This is kind of a scary topic to discuss but we hope others can relate and take something positive away.
    We dive into eating issues and the negative side of social media, as well as what has helped us reach a healthier mindset and find some peace with our bodies as they are and have been and will be.
    We also discuss:
    - The impact of food waste on the environment and give a little PSA on recycling Starbucks cups
    - Why Harvey Weinstein should not be allowed out of his house
    - The asshole of the week, Brandon Taubman
    - The fact that Alex Morgan is not giving birth to us
    - Whether or not Dennis Quaid should be classified as a DILF ?

  • EPISODE 8: Our Take on Harvard Admissions, Miley Cyrus & Being Happily Single
    This week’s episode is JAM PACKED with a variety of discussions - from hamburger stealing dogs to scandalous college admissions drama & beyond. We share our take on the appropriate wedding gifts to send Justin & Hailey Bieber, the usual work struggles and we even check-in on your local commuting Robert Downey Jr.
    Our topic this week is dating and what it means to find happiness on your own. We share our experience as young, single women and the internal ups and downs that come with that. We also dive into the societal norms that associate being alone with being sad and someone to be pitied, and why this isn’t always an accurate representation. It’s our take on being single and not always in the mood to mingle.
