  • Slay the House Boots Down

    Are you a cat person or a dog person? I'm not trying to start drama but personally, I've never seen a dog boots the house down, just saying!!! Zoe and take to the podcast to fawn over the feline's primordial pouch, trash talk Chicago winters, and share our hot takes on hairless pets — join in if you're feeling frisky ;)

  • The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

    It's 2024 and the rumors are true, I'm popping off this year! So sorry you had to find out like this, destiny is calling and I'd be a fool to let her go to voicemail, as they say!

    We're back with a new season and a slightly new episode format that I'm so excited to finally pump into your sweet little ears. This season we're starting a new segment on the pod called, "the good, the bad, and the ugly," and (not to state the obvious, but) during this segment, my guests will be invited to share something good, something bad, and something ugly. 

    These could include personal anecdotes, fictional characters, opinions on the latest fashion trends, or the hottest celebrity gossip — the list goes on! Always open to interpretation, of course. 

    I'm kicking things off this week and will be sharing my first #GBU of the season to set the tone, so join us for a silly little conversation about *that* final dance number in Saltburn, the tragedy that is almost shitting your pants, what it really means to be a girl's girl, and so much more.

  • Internet Couple

    We’re just another internet couple creating content for our adoring fans. It’s hard work, but somebody’s got to do it. So, here we present you the final episode of season six.

    We’re celebrating Festivus a little early this year and airing our grievances with one another right here on the pod, so join us in discussing the things we like the least about each other. The perfect start to a merry holiday season, if I do say so myself! See you next year. ;)

  • Who Are We to Say?

    How old were you when you learned to eat vegetables? As a former picky eater, I was admittedly a bit of late bloomer, myself. Magda and I may have grown up in different cities but we were both members of our respective middle school skiing clubs, neither of us can do a cartwheel, and we both decided to take up Gender & Women’s Studies minors sooo, you do the math. Join us for a silly little conversation about health fads, screen time, and our mutual disdain for winter sports, if you dare!

  • Hell on Wheels

    Did you know opting out of Boom Cup could prevent you from contracting coronavirus? That's a W for my non-competitive gals if I've ever heard one! Yes, the rumors are true, James got the vid and then got his job back, and I got to be home for one whole day last week! Anyway, join us for an incredibly slap-happy little conversation that will take you all the way from Las Vegas, Nevada to Nashville, Tennessee, where some guy named Pitt will lovingly call your friend a "big girl" while you're ripping shots in the back of his army tank turned party bus.

  • Pickle in the Fridge

    Someone on YouTube commented on one of my recent podcast episodes and said, "Good video and pretty feet," so do with that information what you will! Safe to say I've been wearing socks on the pod ever since. Anyway, your favorite co-host is back, so tune into this week's ep for a breakdown of the difference between spooky movies vs. horror movies and stay to find out why I cried at work. It'll be so fun, I swear! <3

  • Two Hours in Calabasas

    Have you ever traveled to Calabasas and back in a day? Well I have, and it stunk! Picture this—you’re flying Southwest Airlines, you unknowingly choose the seat in between a large party of 40-year old divorcees, you land at LAX and are forced to walk 2 miles to the Uber pick-up spot, you drive to your meeting, black out while pitching ideas to your client, and then head right back to the airport only to find out that your flight home to has been delayed by an hour and a half. I wouldn’t wish it upon my worst enemies!

    In other news, James is back on the podcast this week—join us for a little chitchat about accidentally killing your houseplants, overindulging in board games, and eating really bad turkey sandwiches.

    Do you still seek approval from Mom? Don't worry, you're amongst friends! I mean come on, there's truly nothing more validating than an endorsement from your mother, even at the ripe old age of twenty-seven. Alex, Andrew, and I take to the podcast to discuss the challenges of living with food restrictions, the absolute magic of snow days, and the three incredible women single-handedly saving our economy — let's go girls!
