  • This Year We're Acting Hot

    Now, I'm not here to tell you to fake it until you make it, but sometimes the key to being hot is simply acting hot!!! Pat and I take to the pod this week to share our mutual love of Google Calendar, divulge our early interest in retirement, and discuss doing the hard work of confronting our emotions.

  • Not Going to Let a Man Tell Me What to Do

    If it's one thing about us, it's that we're never going to let a man tell us what to do. Dante and I take to the podcast to sing the praises of this summer's pop girlies, lament the horrors of moving, and ruminate over the audacity of people at the airport. Join in, you know you wanna. ;)

  • Brat Summer

    Did you know that humans cement their taste in music in their late twenties? Feeling incredibly blessed to live during a time in which my Saturn Return overlaps with Brat Summer — formative years to say the least! Mickey and I take to the podcast to discuss the ups and downs of owning a fully developed pre-frontal cortex (try saying that five times fast!) and, more importantly, to talk mad shit about Glen Powell. Join in, you know you wanna. ;)

  • Standing on Business

    The Olympics had us singing "Party in the USA" just before the Chicago Air and Water Show came along and knocked the red, white, and blue right out of us again — because that's where we simply must stand on business! Ciara and I take to the podcast to celebrate Team USA and triangular-shaped buildings before we debate over our differing tastes for spooky szn and so much more — join in, the water's fine!

  • For the Love of the Game

    We're baaaack, and much to everyone's dismay, we're better than ever! Join us for our season kick-off where James and I take to the pod to share in our love for swimming and our distaste for servers that overcompensate, and stay for an impassioned speech about how much I hate having to get up out of my seat when the person next to me on a flight has to use the restroom. Did you miss me?

  • I Love Limes

    Is there anything better than seeing how the other half lives? If you enjoy treating yourself to celebrity home tours or listening to Dakota Johnson ramble on about false fruit obsessions, this episode is for you! Join us for a silly little conversation about Architectural Digest tours, the impending cicada boom, and the horror of discovering you have self-tanner hands.

  • I Hate White Rabbits

    Sitting around the campfire is all fun and games until you become the chosen one and suddenly you're blind and both of your lungs collapse. Not to mention the lingering smell that adheres to everything you own — 'tis the season! James and I jump on the podcast to fawn over reunion videos, complain about smoke in the eyes, and argue over whether being late is culturally acceptable, join in!

  • We Contain Multitudes

    Did you have a Christian phase? Have you also been arrested? I'm not saying there's a correlation, but let's look at the facts. Kyle and I self-identify as total sweethearts, but previously we were singing hymns and doing time. Join us for an honest conversation about the joys of dating, the burden of having a downstairs neighbor, and the harsh reality of it being an election year.

  • Closing Time

    Picture this: It's 1:30 am, the lights come on, 'Closing Time' starts playing over the speakers, the bartenders have turned on you and there are two big burly guys telling you that you can't wait for your Uber inside. Is there anything worse? 

    I think not! Owen, James, and I take to the podcast for a deep and intellectual conversation about e-cards, eye doctors, expiration dates, and more. You're seriously not going to want to miss this one babes, xx.

  • Death Penalty

    Do you suffer from road rage or are you medicated? As a proud passenger princess myself, I typically abstain — but I understand the urge, driving is hard! Let it out, bestie! Dylan and I take to the pod to grumble about physical labor and publicly shame people who don't use their turn signals. Join in the fun, you know you want to. ;)
