Very emotional beginning to this episode, as we talk about the tragic loss of Kelly's cousin Jonny as well as, the closing of our hometown skate shop—a place that shaped not just the local skate scene but also our own lives. Losing it feels personal, and we reflect on how spaces like these build real community. Of course, this also means revisiting our skater boy phases—because, honestly, were you even cool if you didn’t have one? We then get into the cultural impact of RuPaul’s Drag Race and how we’re in a strange moment for fashion, where trends are dictated more by your algorithm than any single industry standard. With endless places to shop and so many niche aesthetics, it seems like everything is trendy simultaneously. We also talk about how the rise of podcasts as entertainment has changed our relationship with music. While we love podcasts, we miss when music felt more experimental—before everything started sounding like it was made to fit inside an algorithm-friendly box. Let artists be artists—and maybe provide them with healthcare while we’re at it. -We love you, Chappell Roan. Lastly, a lesson in speaking up: if you’re getting a tattoo, say something if you don't like it.

On this episode of The Intellectual Airheads Podcast, we dive into the power of female friendships—why every woman needs friends who will tell it like it is out of love and support. We also tackle the difficult conversation of how to approach a friend in a toxic relationship, offering real advice on helping loved ones without pushing them away.

Amanda spills some serious tea about being engaged, sharing lessons learned from whirlwind romance. We explore how love, hope, and community can help us navigate today’s political climate—cutting through fear-mongering headlines and focusing on reality. Plus, we break down the new film One of These Days and how R-rated movie trailers have become misleading horror fests. Lastly, we discuss what it’s really like being raised by different astrology signs and how that shapes personality. ✨ If you’re into raw conversations, real friendships, relationships, pop culture, astrology, and society, this episode is for you!

In this episode of Intellectual Airheads, we’re back with a new animal encounter—it's been a while since we reported on our adventures with animal friends! Amanda spices things up with hilarious first-date scenarios and some must-ask first-date questions. We dive into the importance of learning life lessons in your 20s, so you can step into your 30s feeling stable, grounded, and ready to thrive. Of course, no episode is complete without funny, slightly embarrassing stories—this time about getting drunk and thinking we’re the funniest people on the planet. In the world of celebrity gossip, we’re breaking down the drama around Spencer and Heidi. Plus, we share some "money tips" (spoiler: we know absolutely nothing, but it’s fun to talk about). As always, we reflect on self-care and the ups and downs of meditation—because the journey to inner peace isn’t always smooth, but it’s worth it. Come for the laughs, stay for the relatable moments, and don’t forget to take a little self-care inspiration with you. Love you all!

Content Warning: SA

This episode really leans into getting deep but keeping it light. We discuss a pretty heavy topic that happens to 1/3 of women, sexual assault. We talk about how we can reclaim our agency and autonomy while still living under a patriarchal system. Please skip to 22 minutes if needed to take care of yourself.

We then get into ACOTAR supremacy and how it has truly brought back reading for our generation. We also give our usual life updates and pick our Word of the Year!

In this episode of Intellectual Airheads, we get into the importance of self-awareness—discussing our strengths and weaknesses and why understanding yours is key to growth. We also share our excitement for the journey of motherhood and all the emotional and logistical challenges that come with it. But of course, no conversation is complete without touching on the latest pop culture, so we couldn’t help but talk about Jacob Elordi’s new beard. Plus, we tackle our growing concerns over the future of technology and its rapidly increasing role in our lives.

Welcome back to another episode of the Intellectual Airheads Podcast! This week, we’re serving up some fun convos. First up, Manda spills all the deets on her brand-new fur coat (yes, it’s as fabulous as it sounds), and we’re living for it. Then, Kelly shares her major accomplishment—she gets to wear a gold gown at graduation! Because she's GOOD AS GOLD. Speaking of Scheana... Kelly’s here to update us on all things Vanderpump Rules—because who doesn't need a little reality TV tea in their life? 💅

We also get all sentimental as we reflect on our Thanksgiving spent together. We dive into the unexpected perks of a “grown-up” holiday and trust us, there’s more freedom than you might think! 🦃🍂
