Happy Wednesday Weed Whackers and welcome back to another episode of She's in the Weeds! We've got a good one for you today! First up, a quick circle back to a comment made by Gretchen Rossi on RHOC and last week's discussion about it. Then, Sam and Hollis are sharing their thoughts on the Sydney Sweeney American Eagle marketing campaign that's taken the nation by storm and sparked much debate. Next, Sam's sharing a quick update on the never ending It End With Us saga and how she will be SAT for the 2026 trial. Then it's time to give Hollis some much deserved sh*t for the fact that she has NEVER seen Freaky Friday?! I'm sorry, WHAT?! Sam cannot understand how they aren't aligned on this but will be making 100% sure it is rectified ASAP. The ladies will be seeing the sequel together in the boujee theater pending a full review! Then it's time to get in the weeds! Today's topic is horrendous, unhinged, and ridiculous 90s and early 2000s interview moments with some of our favorite female stars. Why were we so obsessed with treating celebrity women like trash in the millennium? From the fat phobia to the sl*t shaming we're revealing it all! As always, we wrap things up with gripes about kids and fur babies and grapes to fashion and good eats!

Happy Wednesday Weed Whackers! The Wednesday Weed Whackers Club? 3WC? Anyway, welcome back to another episode of She's in the Weeds! First up Sam and Hollis are yapping about just how hard it is to dress for this podcast and the very real struggle of trying to not look like a colonial man. They're also fairly certain that the George Washington hair style is a collective millennial female experience. Next up they're discussing some circle backs to the last week's episode and Sam is sharing some applicable wisdom from the Car Mom, IYKYK. The girls are also chatting about what content creators owe their audience in terms of beliefs, values, and political affiliations. It seems like more and more creators are being called out for not speaking on certain issues and they're wondering if the responsibility lies with the creator or the consumer. As always, it's nuanced! Finally, Sam and Hollis are sharing some thoughts and opinions on the recent online feud between Simone Biles and Riley Gaines and the current state of transgender rights in sports. This is a topic both Sam and Hollis feel passionately about and there's a lot to unpack here so let's get in the weeds!

Hey Weed Whackers! Welcome back to another REWIND episode of She’s in the Weeds! This episode was originally recorded on August 7th 2024 well before the rebrand so please enjoy this throwback to the early days of recording. First up Sam’s sharing a perfect example of an “Or Something Like That” moment. Sam and Hollis finally explained the old title in a recent episode of She’s in the Weeds and they will likely keep it as an occasional segment so if you’re looking for come clarity be sure to listen to the announcement of the rebrand in episode 33. Next, they’re chatting about television and the evolution of standup comedy with the introduction of streaming platforms. After that Hollis is bringing us a personal update on her EMDR therapy journey. If you’re curious about what landed her in this type of therapy then listen to episode 2 “Trauma Bonded.” Next, the girls are getting into the main topic for the episode which is the Olympics. They’re sharing some overall thoughts about how it originated and how it globally unites us but also how it can be toxic and how it influences society’s hyper fixation on the gender dichotomy. As usual, in the words of Murray (IYKYK), there’s misogynistic undertones. Finally, they’re wrapping it up with gripes about mail trucks, waiting for our shows to air, and Facebook statuses and grapes to Cory Feldman and Michelin Tires. They hope you enjoy and thanks for being here!

Hey Weed Whackers! Welcome back to another Pop Culture Archives episode of She's in the Weeds where we dive into some of our favorite movies, people, crazes, and pop culture moments of yesteryear. Today's episode is all about the Clinton Lewinsky affair and how Monica Lewinsky became our generation's most notorious scandal figure. First, Hollis gives us a recap of Monica's new podcast Reclaiming which gave her the idea for the episode and then the girls are diving right into what they remember from 1998. Next they're making some revelations about things they either didn't remember or perhaps never even knew when it was happening in real time. Sam was 12 and Hollis was 10 in 1998 so it was time to rewind and reexamine everything with adult eyes and ears. The sheer magnitude of the scandal and it's far reaching implications are still hard to believe even 27 years later and Monica's journey has been nothing short of extraordinary. The girls discuss how the media portrayed her and some theories on how certain narratives came to be. They'll be getting in the weeds with details from media clips, interviews, documentaries, podcasts, and of course their own opinions on it all. They'll be examining her perspective of the story and how some of the narratives surrounding it have shifted in a post me too culture. Finally they'll be sharing some other allegations surrounding Bill Clinton and thoughts on how a scandal like this would play out in today's society and media. Meet you in the weeds!

Hello Weed Whackers! Whackadoodles!? Double Dubs!? Just spitballing here. Welcome back to another episode of She's in the Weeds! The ladies are kicking off the episode with a recap of the No Kings protest they attended and how good it felt to fulfill their civic duty. They may not have solved all the world's problems but it felt amazing to assemble with like minded people and they encourage you to get out there and make your voice heard. Next up Sam's really struggling with the children's bedtime shenanigans and Hollis needs to figure out how to make small talk with other dog parents. It's tough out there! Next the girls have some thoughts on Paige Desorbo's new sleepwear? line, Daphne. They can't quite figure out what it is, who it's for, or quite frankly who can afford it. Talk of fashion sparks a conversation about size inclusivity and the lack of consideration for all body types. When are designers going to get with the program? Then it's on to some circle backs on the ongoing Blake and Justin drama and the almost forgotten segment for Pop Culture Queen of the month. Spolier alert, it's Rosie O'Donnell. Rosie's really having a moment and it leads Sam and Hollis into a much needed conversation about And Just Like That. What is happening here? At this point they're watching for Carrie's outfits and to feel less alone. (Be sure to listen so you can be on the inside of that joke.) After a sufficient yap session the girls are getting in the weeds about Hollis's dating escapades, unhinged Hinge behavior, and some of the distinct differences between the way men communicate to women online and vice versa. As always they wrap up the episode with gripes about daily life and water consumption and grapes to summer confections and nostalgia. Thanks for being here! Love ya!

Hey Weed Whackers!? What do we think, do we like it? It could be fun! We'll workshop it but for now let us know what you think. Today is the day! Welcome to the first official episode of She's in the Weeds! The ladies are kicking off the episode with an introduction of the new name and some back story on the old one, why they changed it, and what listeners can expect as they continue to roll out the podcast face lift. Then they're yapping about vehicle maintenance, leather couches, and Sam makes a surprising revelation about a childhood favorite movie. Next up, the girls are overdue for a reality check. They're sharing thoughts on RHONY's fake news about being canceled, who they hope will return and who might be a fun addition to mix things up. Then its on to the Valley, Danny Booko's dark side, and the never ending BS that spews from Jax Taylor's mouth. Will this man ever change or even learn? Once they've dissected the Bravo drama it's time to get in the weeds. Today's topic is Artificial Intelligence and the new age of online misogyny. AI is an extremely useful tool and something both Sam and Hollis use regularly but they think we can all agree it doesn't come without concerns. They'll be discussing how AI perpetuates and exacerbates gender bias and stereotypes and racial discrimination and how it's influencing a new generation of digital natives. They even asked AI to help them understand this problem and how to solve it and you might be surprised at the answers. Chat is a self aware king and we love to see it! (And yes, chat is a man. For now anyway.) As always they wrap up the episode with gripes about driving and bedtime struggles and grapes to sign in conveniences and woodland critters. Thanks for being here!

First up we're yapping about traveling, type A spirals, and Hinge. Next, we're discussing being called out on your shit and whether or not it's possible to have empathy for someone while still finding humor in the situation. The main topic portion of the episode comes on the heels of the last Rewind episode and we have some thoughts on what seems to be a now viral trend trail blazed by OnlyFans stars Bonnie Blue and Annie Knight. In case you haven't heard these women are sleeping with 100s to 1000s of men in mere hours and it seems as though it's a sparked a competition. What, if anything, does this stunt mean? Are we as individuals assigning our own meanings to it and what impact is it having on society and future generations, good or bad? As always we wrap it up with gripes about wet toddler legs and the trials and tribulations of shopping and grapes to coastal grub and practical fashion. Thanks for being here!
