It's the FREAKIEST week of the year! Freakier Friday is out on Friday so I decided it was time to go back to the 2003 film and break down exactly what made it such a staple in all of our young lives. My return guest is my BBFFAE since age 9, Gina, and we talk about all the little details that make this movie special, the music, the fashion, the wild yet grounded performances, the difference between filmmaking now and then, our expectations for the new film, and so much more!!

Today I'm so excited to welcome my guest Tonica, who is the owner of the longest running fan pages in history: Aaliyah Unleashed (@aaliyahunleashed on instagram) which has been active since 1999. Tonica shares the inspiration Aaliyah provided her as a young woman, how she empowered Black people in unique ways, and why she is still considered to be such a unique and special part of music history. She also gives her opinion on many different aspects of Aaliyah's career including her thoughts on the upcoming posthumous album and what she would do if put in charge of Aaliyah's legacy.

July 01, 2025 150. Aaliyah Part 7: Farewell, Baby Girl
We begin today's episode by going track-by-track through the latter half of Aaliyah's self-titled album and thank the lawd for that because the rest of this episode is a tough one - we have come to August 25, 2001; the day Aaliyah died. Many listeners requested a deep dive on this rather than an overview, so here we go. I discuss her final days, relationship with Dame Dash, the background on how and why the plane ended up crashing, conspiracy theories, reactions from fans/friends/celebrities, the other people who were on the plane, her funeral, and so much more. This is one of my most heavily researched and time consuming episodes and I hope you feel I handled this difficult topic well.

June 24, 2025 149. Aaliyah Part 6: Self-Titled
Today begins our deep dive into Aaliyah's third album, Aaliyah. Baby Girl once again wanted to walk down a new road with her music, refusing to stay stagnant and rest on her laurels. What resulted was a lush, diverse, mature set of songs that set the tune for the summer of 2001. Eight weeks later, we would lose her, so I really wanted to give her work the flowers it deserves before getting into the plane crash.

June 09, 2025 147. Ashlee Is Playing Vegas!! + More Q&A
Unfortunately chaos struck my life this week and I had no time to work on the episode I had planned, but I had plenty of questions left over from last week so the show must go on. I discuss Ashlee Simpson's upcoming Vegas residency, the most embrassing fangirly thing I've ever done, why I love JLo, the music i'm obsessed with right now, Pink, the worst FMK I've ever done (John Mayer, Nick Lachey, Scooter Braun... I wanted to jump off the roof...) what I'd want at my personal Taylor Swift concert and more!
