This week on Pillow Fort, Roo’s house smells suspiciously like pee (again), and she’s spiraling. Meanwhile, Aimee’s social media algorithms won’t stop diagnosing her with Avoidant Attachment Disorder. It’s fine. Everything is fine.

Roo and Aimee dive into the chaos of being just a little too online—from algorithm-induced therapy fatigue to the case for simply touching grass. Roo suggests less self-awareness, more outside time. Aimee misses reading books and walking places without checking five apps first.

Also: why do some friends insist on turning every vacation into a boot camp? Roo goes off about "Itinerary Friends"—the ones who plan hikes, swims, and 7 a.m. excursions when all you want is a cocktail and a nap. She loves and appreciates them, but really doesn’t want to have to do work and relax at the same time. Aimee’s solution? Get older. Old friends like to just sit, eat, and drink on vacation for the most part.

Tune in for a little therapy shade, algorithm anxiety, and your favorite kind of hot takes: the cozy honest ones.

Episode 30 is sick and boozy in all the right ways. Roo opens with the story of her two cats turning on her poor dog in a feline coup, while Aimee recounts her personal hell week: sick, on her period, off Adderall, off caffeine, and fully in need of being babied. She warned her family she wasn’t going to be great, but did they baby her? Of course not. Men never do. Roo’s advice? Suck it up, complain louder, and maybe throw a fit every six months (Aimee says quarterly is more fair). Women deserve to lose it more than every once in a while.

From there, things get spicier. Aimee confesses to snapping the thongs on Victoria’s Secret mannequins (much to her teenager’s horror), only for Roo to call her out as no better than a man. That leads to a truly cursed tale of a massage school student who snapped Aimee’s thong mid-session—solidifying that massage parlors are almost always up to something.

Finally, Roo brings us to safer ground: Happy Hour. Should it really be only an hour? She thinks not. They discuss their favorite happy hours: Antigua’s infamous 3-for-1s that left Aimee wasted by 6 p.m., and Roo’s beloved $14 pizza-and-a-bottle-of-wine deal. Also, late night happy hour with food deserves its own movement. Shout out to Santiago’s in Orlando,

It’s complaints, cocktails, and losing it, Pillow Fort style. Listen… or they’ll snap your thong too!

Season 3 is in full flight, and the fort is already buzzing with hot takes (and lukewarm airplane coffee). Roo and Aimee kick things off with travel talk, should you really order tea or coffee mid-flight? Journalists have done the investigative heavy lifting, but Roo insists she’d still risk a drink cart brew. Meanwhile, Aimee spills an industry secret: sometimes that “caffeinated” coffee is actually 100% decaf.

The duo also reveal their most hated U.S. airports, no terminal is safe. In between travel gripes, Roo gives us a quick Ordu language lesson and shares stories from a Daytona standup show where she opened the night (and the challenges of going first). Aimee admits she sometimes likes opening sets because there’s less pressure. Together, they dive into the highs and headaches of running standup comedy rooms, from hosting to booking.

And yes, Floridian dickies make an appearance. It’s a mix of comedy, chaos, and caffeine conspiracies.

The fort is back open for business! In this season opener, Aimee admits podcasting is her passion—even if she sometimes forgets to plug in her mic. Both Roo and Aimee agreed to tackle an ungodly early recording time, which sparks Aimee’s rant about society’s obsession with moral superiority just for being a morning person. (She even made a whole PowerPoint about it at a comedy show—and now she’s dreaming up a one-woman horror-comedy musical in the style of Little Shop of Horrors. Spoiler: waking up early is physically painful.)

Roo also shares the struggle of trying to find formal Indian wedding attire in Orlando, and the two dive into the world of savory novelty alcohol: Bloody Marys pushed to their limits (at what point is it just soup with booze?), morning cocktails, Clamato Beer-ritas (Roo’s a fan, Aimee taps out), and the divisive michelada.

It’s thoughtful, funny, and slightly tomato-based—the perfect way to kick off Season 3 of Pillow Fort with Roo & Aimee.

Season 2 is officially wrapped, Pillow Princesses! Aimee and Roo are closing out the season with an Instagram live session, and it’s packed with laughs, deep talks, and some wild personal stories. Big thanks to Bobby Wesley and Nifer Sims for tuning in!

This episode is all about those scars that tell a story — from Roo’s face scar (thanks, gravel playground) to Aimee’s knee scar from a very memorable drunken gondola experience in Italy. Aimee also gets real about her c-section scar and the struggle with an unplanned surgery that left her feeling like she didn’t “get to fully birth.” Roo, of course, says it’s still considered birth, but Aimee isn’t so sure.

Meanwhile, the vibes are changing when Aimee realizes that Roo tooted during their co-working session at Aimee’s house — we’ve all been there, right? And it wouldn’t be a proper episode without a little love for spin class. Roo shares her passion for cycling with all the lights, music, and, of course, a spin instructor who’s a bit too open about her personal life (and shoutouts to 50 Cent).

Catch all the tea, the laughs, and the honest moments in this season finale of Pillow Fort! 🛋️🎉

Happy Season 2 Finale, Pillow Princesses! 🎉 Roo and Aimee wrap up the season with cozy delight, starting by discussing the wildness of the latest episode of White Lotus. Holy moly! Roo calls out Aimee for saying she can't handle too much weirdness in shows, yet she still watches White Lotus. Aimee agrees but defends herself, explaining that it's the weekly chatter in the zeitgeist that really hooks her. It makes her feel young again, just like when she’d head to school after a juicy 90210 episode—though this reference is a bit lost on Roo, who’s too young to get it.

The duo then dives into how friends and family have commented on the fort—claiming it’s actually a little sexy. (Not a sexy podcast, though!) Roo shares her struggles with microwaving foods that have various heating speeds, resulting in a somewhat painful experience when she burned her esophagus with a lava-like pocket of mashed potatoes.

Next, Roo tells a hilarious story about ordering pizza, falling asleep, and waking up to realize the pizza never arrived. However, the pizza showed up at her doorstep the next day, likely delivered by neighbors who may or may not have some beef with her. This leads to the Question of the Day: How long can pizza stay out safely? Roo thinks if it’s a Pizza of the Night, it’s fine to stay out. But if it’s a Pizza of the Day, it needs to be put away. Aimee then brings up her love of ice cream cones, saying she enjoys having them at home as a treat. She loves when the holder of the food is edible, like an ice cream cone, a burrito, or a sandwich. Roo, however, disagrees, saying she dislikes ice cream because it hurts her tummy and melts too fast on the cone.

Aimee shares that she used to have a theory that you couldn’t be mad while eating an ice cream cone—but after hearing Roo’s side of things and remembering the series of photos of Kanye West angrily eating one, her theory has officially been debunked.

And that’s a wrap on Season 2! Thanks for listening, Pillow Princesses! April 1st, 2025 tune into the Pillow Fort instagram live show at 7pm (EST)!

This week, Roo and Aimee chat about the awesome season of the show Severance and Aimee relates to actually wanting to work on the Severed Florida. The duo discusses the chaos of Florida traffic (hello, I-4 and 95). They also get into the perils of falling in public. Aimee takes a tumble in a Walmart parking lot and questions all her life choices. Meanwhile, Roo tackles the great shorts debate. Why does skin have to touch the seat?! Growing up Muslim, she wasn’t allowed to wear shorts, and now, Florida heat has her questioning everything. Aimee, a seasoned Floridian, offers some practical shorts-wearing advice, and they both agree: no tush should be left behind.

Plus, they shout out Orlando comedy staple Ross McCoy, the legendary Shit Sandwich show, and the creative magic happening at Bull & Bush Pub. Tune in for laughs, lovely tangents, and the real cozy talk you didn’t know you needed!

This week in the fort Aimee and Roo tackle the big issues, like why Florida used to have more lizards, how to get out of a ticket, and the ongoing war between tall and short people.

This week’s episode, Getting Pulled Over & Tall Privilege, has it all: Roo’s close call with the law, Aimee’s foolproof strategy of crying her way out of trouble, and a heated debate about height discrimination. Roo thinks short people are fair game for jokes, but Aimee is mad as hell about it. She’s 5’2” and tired of being patted on the head, struggling to see the top of the fridge, and gaining visible weight instantly. Meanwhile, she fully admits to abusing her short privilege when it comes to fitting into airplane seats and only dating people over 6 feet tall. (Yes, she knows that’s hypocritical.)
