  • Ep 4 | Our Right to Judge It
    Jan 23 2025

    This week, we’re spilling all the tea on the TikTok ban drama—yes, it happened, and no, we’re still not over it. From the chaos and emotional meltdowns to the political mess tied to Trump, we’re breaking it all down. We’re also looking ahead: what’s next for social media, and could there actually be a decent alternative to TikTok? (Spoiler: probably not.)

    Of course, we couldn’t skip the celebrity gossip! We’re digging into the latest controversies involving Snoop Dogg and Nelly and reflecting on the highs (and cringe-worthy lows) of the Versus series. Nostalgia, disappointment, and a whole lot of side-eye—it’s all here.

    And because we love to keep it real, we’re unpacking some bigger topics too: the power of women in politics, how social media shapes public perception, and the emotional rollercoaster that is navigating a polarized political world. We’re even tackling how the TikTok algorithm messes with our feelings—and don’t worry, we’ve got jokes to keep it light.

    Whether you’re here for the laughs, the hot takes, or just need a break from the chaos, we’ve got you covered. Buckle up, it’s a wild ride!

    Make sure you subscribe, like, and give us a review!

    See you next thursday! (or before!)

  • Ep 3 | The Ozempic Obsession
    Jan 21 2025

    We’re covering all the things this episode: from what’s going on in our lives (spoiler: sleep is a scam) to the latest political circus, like aging politicians, voting drama, and who’s running the show in Congress. We’re not holding back on our frustrations with the current state of affairs, but don’t worry—there’s plenty of laughter and side-eye along the way.

    We also dive into some real talk about GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, sharing our personal experiences and calling out the stigma surrounding weight loss meds. From navigating body positivity to dealing with the “mean girl” energy in weight loss spaces, we’re keeping it honest about health, wellness, and the pressure of being seen online.

    Speaking of societal pressures, we’re unpacking some heavy stuff this week: the chaos of social media, what we’ve normalized as a culture, and how influencers are changing the game—for better or worse. We’re also looking ahead, chatting about gentle parenting, branding tips, and how we plan to keep our podcast fresh and fun.

    It’s messy, it’s real, and it’s us. Come for the tea, stay for the laughs.
