  • Pop Culture Queen: The Reign of Teyana Taylor
    Apr 29 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    It's pop culture queen of the month where we feature an iconic woman owning the spotlight and crown her queen! But first we're yapping about our voices, jumping out of airplanes into war, and becoming the family matriarchs. Next, Hollis is filling us in on the latest nonsense from Russel Brand and Usher and we've got thoughts. It's all really giving women don't matter and we prefer not to hear from them again. What do you think? Then it's time for a quick reality check where we dish on the latest bravo tv happenings. We've got thoughts about the summer house audio leak, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills reunion, and the Valley. We could maybe do without hearing from Luke or Danny for a while too. Finally, it's time to get in the weeds with our pop culture queen of the month, Teyana Taylor. She is an extremely accomplished multi talented star. We'll be covering her early start in the industry, career trajectory in music, fashion, acting, and directing, awards and recognitions, and her current and future projects. We are so impressed with her resume and we look forward to seeing what the future holds for her. As always we wrap it up with gripes about icks and sunset truther types (IYKYK) and grapes to spring and snack delights.

  • Reality Check: Double Standards in Parenting, Pick Me Girls, and Bravo TV Drama
    Apr 22 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    We're discussing double standards in parenting, the social construct of pick me girls, and digging into a reality check to dish on the latest Bravo TV drama. But, first we're debriefing Hollis's birthday celebration and sharing some embarrassing cell phone faux pas moments. Next, we're reminiscing about Bob and Tom. RIP Bob. Tell me your an 80s baby without telling me your an 80s baby. Then we're discussing Emma Grede's comment in the Wall Street Journal about being a 3 hour mom. We expect mothers to do it all, do it all perfectly, and do it all with gratitude to be given the opportunity, regardless of what is actually reasonable or even possible. And the double standard when discussing fathers is glaring. Next, we've got a circle back to the Blake Lively lawsuit and some expanded thoughts on the conversation around the Summer House Drama. We're discussing pick me girls, labels we affix to women, and we use them as tools to criticize and tear each other down. Then it's on to the Valley and Danny Booko's darkside, Dorit's bob era, her streams of revenue, and Boz's engagement and pregnancy announcement. As always we wrap it up with gripes about weak bladders and new appliances and grapes to productivity and true advertising. Join us!

  • A Male Perspective on Friendship, Not Subscribing to Societal Standards, and Dating in Your 50s with Zach Smith
    Apr 15 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    We're joined today by our dear friend and guest Zach Smith as he shares his perspective on male friendship, not subscribing to societal standards of marriage and children for happiness, and what it's like dating in your 50s. Join us as we get in the weeds with Zach and dig deep on what best friendship looks like between adult men. Do they talk about the hard stuff? Do they tell each other they love each other? Are they communicating on multiple platforms at all times? Are they starting hypothetical businesses and fantasizing about the future together? Tune in to find out! Next, we've got questions about what makes him feel valuable as a man and his thought's about socioeconomic success and masculinity. Then we're diving into what, if any, pressure he felt over the years to pursue traditional values of marriage and family and why he ultimately chose not to. Next, we're discussing beauty standards and aging and we're wondering whether or not men feel similarly to women about having to subscribe to a certain look. In this conversation, Zach opens up about unkindness and discrimination he has experienced as someone living in a bigger body and exactly why he's unbothered by it. Finally we're getting the scoop on dating in your 50s, why Zach's not on the apps, and what a desirable partnership would look like at this stage in his life. As always we wrap up the episode with gripes about losers, lolly gaggers, and kid's toys and grapes to satisfying hygiene, nice days, and modern conveniences. We had fun with this one and we hope you enjoy!
