Megan & Jhenna. Two best friends. One shared brain cell. A podcast where two best friends are unqualified, unfiltered and unhinged. Each episode dives into relatable topics, hot takes, debates that blur the line between insight and nonsense and the thoughts we all have but never say out loud. We will always question what's "normal" and laugh our way through the chaos. Episodes drop bi-weekly. So come for the laughs, stay because you're as confused as we are and that's okay.

Episodes

  1. EPISODE 1

    The Unhinged Origins Episode

    In our very first episode, we answer the only reasonable questions: who the hell we are? how we met? and why anyone trusts us with microphones? We get into our first impressions of each other, our "small but annoying" attributes and what delusion led us to believe starting this podcast was a good idea. Expect unqualified girls in an unfiltered friendship making unhinged decisions and comments. This is your crash course in what actually happens when two people overthink out loud. No experts. No life advice (or at least that you should take). just two best friends figuring it out in real time. WELCOME TO THE DELUSION.

    Our Delusional Friendship

    This episode is for the friendships that don't make sense to anyone... including us. We're talking vocal stims and inside jokes that absolutely should've stayed private, the unspoken (and sometimes spoken) roles, and the telepathic tendencies of friendship. You know, normal behavior. We unpack what our friendship probably looks like to other people.  If you've ever laughed way too hard at something that wasn't even funny, finished each other's sentences, or felt deeply understood without explaining yourself... this one's for you. No guide book. No rules. Just friendship that makes zero sense but somehow feels like home.  WE SWEAR WE'RE NORMAL.

    Hot Takes We'll Die On

    In this episode, we do what we do best: say things with out whole chest and absolutely refuse to back down. We read random Hot Take cards and spiral our way through opinions we're fully prepared to defend, regret or double down on. Some takes are very unserious, some are controversial and some might make you pause the episode just to process.  There are no winners, and definitely no research involved. Just chaotic opinions, friendly disagreements and the kind of conversations that usually happen off-mic. Listener discretion advised. We will die on these hills.  WE'RE NOT WRONG, YOU ARE. DON'T ARGUE.

    Modern Dating is a Simulation

    Modern dating doesn't feel real and this episode proves it. We're unpacking dating app horror stories, 'green flags' that somehow are actually red flags in disguise and so much more. From confusing dealbreakers to situationships that last way too long, we spiral through the unspoken rules and collective confusion that make dating feel like a poorly designed game.  This isn't advice and it's definitely not a how-to guide... it's just two friends, one who's single and maybe not so ready to mingle and one who's married and is living vicariously through the other. So join us as we discuss how exhausting modern dating is and why it feels like everyone else got a rule book except us.  If you ever feel alone in the dating world... Don't worry, you're not. THERE'S NO RULE BOOK... WE LOOKED.

    Adulthood is a Scam

    In this episode, we're unpacking everything we thought adulthood would be versus what it actually looks like. From childhood expectations to the chaotic reality of our 20s, we're talking soul-sucking jobs, confusing insurance, the importance of saving and investing and the overwhelming realization that nobody actually knows what they're doing.  If you've ever wondered how everyone else seems to have it together, felt behind in life, or questioned why being an adult feels more like survival than success... this episode is for you. ADULTHOOD IS A SCAM - but at least we're in it together.

  6. EPISODE 6

    Brand Loyalty VS Bargain Hunting

    Are you loyal to your favorite brands... or loyal to a good deal?? In this episode, we're putting brand loyalty and bargain hunting head-to-head. From ride or die products we refuse to switch up to our proudest thrift finds, we break down the chaos of shopping habits. We talk comfort vs curiosity, splurging vs saving, and why some things are worth every penny while others are absolutely not. Whether you're emotionally attached to your favorite brands or spiritually guided to the thrift store, this episode will either validate your spending habits or gently call you out. Probably both. NO JUDGEMENT... Just vibes, deals and questionable financial decisions.

    Adult Friendships

    No one talks about how complicated adult friendships can be.   In this episode, we’re unpacking what it really looks like to grow, drift, reconnect, and evolve alongside the people who’ve known you through different versions of yourself. We talk about keeping friendships alive when life gets busy, navigating jealousy and distance, hard friendship stages no one prepares you for, and the red flags and green flags we’ve learned the hard way.   From inside jokes to uncomfortable conversations, this one is about the friendships that shape you — and the ones you quietly outgrow.   Adult friendships ARE NOT effortless. THEY'RE INTENTIONAL. And sometimes that’s what makes them stronger.

    It's Giving Main Character Energy

    Everyone wants main character energy... but what does it actually mean?? In this episode, we're breaking down the difference between confidence and delusion, romanticizing your life vs ignoring reality and what it really looks like to be the main character in your story. From the moments we feel like we have it all together to the times we're clearly just side characters in our own lives, we're getting honest about it feels. Pop culture examples and tips on how to romanticize your life are also in store with this one. MAIN CHARACTER ENERGY IS NOT ABOUT ATTENTION... IT'S ABOUT INTENTION.

    Conspiracy Theories with a Plot Twist

    We're talking conspiracy theories that'll make you scratch your head. PLOT TWIST! One of your usual hosts is missing, but don't worry, we have a very special guest to spiral with us! In this episode, we're diving into conspiracy theories that range from lowkey believable to "okay wait... what?" From algorithms that know you too well to the idea that nothing is actually random. We are talking about the theories that make you think, ones that make you laugh and ones that maybe... kinda stick with you. We're not saying anything is true... BUT... we're not saying that aren't.
