Welcome back (or to) Porch Talk!

Last Friday night hit different… and not in a good way. We ventured out to a bar packed with college kids and quickly realized—we are far from our element. This week, we’re embracing being young and hot while reminiscing about our own college days with everyone's favorite guest, JC (shoutout UMASS Amherst).

But first, we’re recapping the weekend, including a 10/10 hibachi experience (shoutout Witch City Hibachi) and Gus’s wild nightly adventures. Then, we’re diving into this week’s biggest scandals: the internet’s hate for Shrek 5, Unwell Network’s Alix vs. Alex drama, Walmart cakes vs. home bakers, and the return of White Lotus. Plus, some blasts from the past: Casey Anthony attempting a rebrand (everyone go report her), and Octomom’s kids are somehow 16?!

Tune in for the chaos, the laughs, and the nostalgia. Grab a drink (or a college-era Four Loko) and let’s talk.

This week, we’re dodging punches (literally) after trying hip-hop boxing, hitting our favorite bar for a GNO filled with top-tier people-watching, and celebrating the thrill of a good thrift find—especially when Jordan somehow scored two high-end wedding dresses (NTB, we swear).

Then, we dive into the week’s wildest headlines: Dublin’s new daytime raves (club before noon, anyone?), a horrifying embryo mix-up where a woman didn’t realize she was carrying the wrong baby until birth, the new app that lets you rent a bodyguard, Diddy’s lawyer quitting right before his trial, and the sheer audacity of Erewhon charging $19 for strawberries. Plus, we discuss the new Gabby Petito docuseries and ponder fun ways to use your free will.

Is the wedding industry just one big scam? This week, we break down the “wedding tax,” the emotional marketing tactics that convince you to spend way too much, and why it’s all just capitalism in a white dress. We're also exposing the shocking truth about mattress stores (turns out they’re not a money-laundering front)!

Plus, did you know pearls are basically oyster tonsil stones? We explore the glamorous yet gross truth. Also on deck: the real reason Chicago is called the Windy City (hint: it’s not the weather). We price-check heated toilet seats, celebrate the return of Yellowjackets, and discuss why Bhad Bhabie’s comeback might have the Kar-Jenners on edge.

This week, we're spreading the love (and the hot takes)! We’re sharing our favorite rom-coms, love songs, and Valentine’s Day gift tips. Plus, Jordan had a 10/10 experience at her new doctor’s office—no pap smear fear here!

We also dive into the rise of “recession pop” (who else feels so seen?), the chaotic genius of Temptation Island (shoutout Montoya ), and rumors of a One Direction reunion at the Brit Awards. Plus, was Kendrick the real MVP of the Super Bowl? And seriously…who invented the glam bot? Let’s get into it!

This week, we’re unpacking a weekend filled with highs, lows, and a little bit of chaos. From an awkward birthday song to our first house party since college (are we okay?), plus Jordan’s adventure at a new nightclub. We also had a literal fire scare when a neighbor’s house went up in flames and Jordan touches on being in the dead dad club. Oh, and there was a comedy show—was it worth it? TBD.

Plus: Why is Love the Way You Lie still dominating the airwaves? Is Good Girls by Nick Jonas an underrated masterpiece? And what is up with the stench of Ubers lately?

Buckle up, it’s a wild one.

This week, we’re kicking things off with the movement to #FreeWendy from her conservatorship—justice for an icon! We also dive into Mac Miller’s posthumous album Balloonerism and share our thoughts (and feelings). Plus, we’re side-eyeing Canada and Australia for their shady TikTok takes while we were offline—what’s good, neighbors?

As always, we share our 1’s and 10’s of the week (cue the applause) and give you the play-by-play of Lu and Gus’s chaotic first meeting (trigger warning: vomit was involved).

As always thank you for listening and supporting! :)

This week, we're diving into the chaos: the looming TikTok ban, why Mark Zuckerberg and Meta are on our blacklist, and the unsettling reality of the LA fires.

Plus, we discuss bug-out bags—because who isn't prepping these days—and celebrate Jordan's new addition to the family, baby Gus! Grab a drink and get ready to spiral with us.

Welcome back to Porch Talk!

This week, we’re diving into some of Reddit’s juiciest stories from AITAH and Best of Redditor Updates, channeling our inner Two Hot Takes.

But first, a weekend recap: Jordan's "bridal" shoot for AW Bridal, a dramatic dental moment for Lu Jeff (wish her a speedy recovery, or else), and a newfound obsession with affogatos—because what’s better than an adult root beer float? Grab a seat, a snack, and maybe a scoop of gelato; this one’s a treat.

Happy New Year & welcome back to Porch Talk!

This week, we’re tackling the big questions: How do we get into the Pop-Tart Bowl, and why does Jordan’s Christmas surprise involve so much honey mustard?

We dive into astroturfing conspiracies, our unhinged love for Nespresso, and why moo moos are the ultimate bedtime attire. Plus, a vision board reimagined as a year-long journal, the latest in airline chaos (spoiler: we’re not boarding), and a PSA on the art of texting—while biking. Buckle up, buttercup; this episode is a ride!

Welcome back to Porch Talk!

We’re closing out 2024 with a chaotic mix of recaps, revelations, and wild guesses for the year ahead.

Jordan's "Uber Eats Wrapped" might leave you speechless, and we dive into everything we loved (and binged) this year—favorite items, shows, and podcasts included. Then, we revisit the year's biggest media and pop culture moments before peering into our crystal ball to share 10 bold predictions for 2025.

AI layoffs, a surveillance state, the rise of class consciousness, Hollywood’s decline, the next “it” dog, and so much more. End the year with us in style!
