  • How Did You Know: It Wasn’t Worth Your Time?

    “If you love life, don’t waste time, for time is what life is made up of”. - Bruce Lee

    We're back this week with another “How did you know?” segment! In today’s episode we talk about how we knew so many different things weren’t worth our time. Regardless of it's a romantic relationship, a friendship, or even a conversation - time is precious and we stand by the fact that you shouldn't waste time on things that drain you. We look back - and laugh - at times when we finally realized certain people or situations were no longer worth our time and energy. As always, we wrap up with our latest man of the hour - who are always worth our laughs.

  • So You’re Having A Baby? ft. Alyse Pirone

    Oh baby, oh baby! We are joined by one of our close friends on today’s episodes to discuss being a first time expectant mom. Alyse chats with us about what life has been like with her first baby on the way. We talk about how her body has changed during pregnancy and what she has done to accept that. We dive into the struggle of receiving unsolicited advice, not comparing our journeys to others around us - or on social media - and how to prepare for bringing home your new baby. We discuss old wives tales and make our predictions if she's having a boy or girl! We can't wait to meet Baby P!

  • From Top 8 to Close Friends
    Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp were recently down and to some it may have felt like the world was ending. In today’s episode we take a walk down social media lane and talk about how it has evolved from the early days of MySpace & Xanga to Instagram & TikTok. While many things have changed, at the end of the day - it's all still very much the same. MySpace's "Top 8" has turned into Instagram's "Close Friends", while adding your location to your AIM profiles has turned into tagging locations in your Instagram stories. We laugh about our first screen names and the emo lyrics we would put in our AIM profiles. Whether we like it or not, social media has even evolved to now include dating apps - which allows us to wrap our episode with the latest Man of the Hour!

  • It’s My Party & I’ll Cry If I Want To

    "The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate". - Oprah Winfrey

    Go shawty, it’s your birthday! With us both recently celebrating birthdays, it seemed like the perfect time to chat all about celebrating another trip around the sun! We discuss some of our favorite birthday memories of the past - sleepovers, haunted corn mazes, and bar crawls - and how we enjoy celebrating each year. We touch on how our birthdays have changed as we got older and what is truly important to us when it comes to celebrating each year. As always, we wrap up the episode with our newest man of the hour!

  • Hey Boss Babe!

    Have you ever received an unassuming “hey hun!” DM from a long forgotten "friend"? Join the club. 

    We all kind of know that Multi Level Marketing companies are scams. You may have seen a friend posting on Facebook about skincare they have for sale or even see people talking about starting their own empire and retiring early. But you probably don’t know anyone who has actually gotten rich from - or even found a reliable side hustle in - companies like LuLaRoe, Mary Kay or Beachbody. And yet, despite this reality, they persist. In today’s episode we dive into the world of MLMs, our experience - or lack there of - with them and the toxicity that appears to come along with these companies. Don’t just take our word for it, Amazon Prime Video's 4 part docuseries "LuLaRich" chronicles the unraveling of LuLaRoe and  covers it ALL. As always, we round out the episode with our latest man of the hour.

  • A Trip Down Britney Lane ft. Sam Jacobsen

    "She is more than a celebrity. She is a cultural touchstone."

    Our resident pop culture enthusiast, Sam, joins us for her second podcast experience as we discuss all things Britney Spears. As Britney's legal battles make news once again, there continue to be tons of controversy surrounding the princess of pop and the details of the conservatorship she has been under for the past 13 years. We discuss our perspectives of watching Britney's life play out in the media over the past few decades and touch on the recently released documentaries that share her story.  We chat about how the impact Britney has had on our lives since her rise to fame in the 90s - and how we hope she finally sees some well deserved justice. #FreeBritney

  • How Did You Know: It Was Time To Move On?
    "If it excites you and scares you at the same time, it probably means you should do it!"
    Why not, take a crazy chance? In the second installment of our “How Did You Know?" segment, we chat about how we knew it was time to take a chance and move somewhere new. We discuss our experiences with moving, what influenced us in our decisions, and the pros and cons of picking up and moving. We think if you are a little more excited than you are scared - you should go for it! As always, we close out the episode with another man of the hour - who constantly remind us that no matter where you live, the dating apps are a scary place!
