Brined is our ongoing mission to bottle up the noise, the shenanigans, and the unfiltered moments that make life fun, and turn them into something people actually want to be part of. It’s not about being polished - it’s about being present, funny, slightly feral, and very committed to a good time. This is a home for the people who think entertainment should feel like being in on the joke, not watching it from the sidelines.

    Sorry, We're Geriatrics

    We’re officially geriatrics now. We got roasted by a Gen Z bachelorette party and it's basically our whole personality now. This episode proves we are simply too old for this shit. 😂

    We'd Be Dead First

    We’re back with another chaotic catch-up featuring questionable decisions, beefing with your spouse, and running plans. Plus: rapid-fire questions, high school menace behavior, and the stories that remind us why we probably shouldn’t be left unsupervised. Basically, two friends talking ish and oversharing for 50 minutes. What could go wrong?

    Double Wide Casket for Two, Please

    Five weeks apart, one unexpected reunion, and approximately 47 things to catch up on. We’re talking pickle lip gloss, friendship, weird reels, crash outs, and why some friendships are less “healthy boundaries” and more “joint calendar and double-wide casket.”

    Sorry, My Name Is Fran

    These Brined Besties are struggling to get it together, but Sam & Darby are embracing the mess. From remixed bachelorette parties and wedding hot takes, to 2000s nostalgia and golf drama, the usual Sam & Darby chaos is still at 100% Messy, mildly unhinged, and perfectly Brined.

    Larger Than Life & Lightly Brined

    Oh my God we're back again! This week Darby & Sam celebrate scoring Backstreet Boys tickets again, announce their promotion from PicklePalooza attendees to official pickle judges, talk running struggles, rate some pickles, and spiral into the usual best-friend chaos. Vegas plans, briny business, and questionable financial decisions. Aka just another week at Brined. 🥒🎙️

    Menace Mode: Activated

    Sam and Darby are back and slightly unwell. This week they activate menace mode, taste-test NYLA sparkling pickle juice, discuss their icks, and reveal why Sam really didn't like Darby when they first met. From regretting that last drink, to hydrating with pickle juice, and being mildly judgmental, it's just another day for these two at Brined.

    Hair of the Dog, Brine of the Pickle

    This mini-sode is basically pickles, Bloody Marys, and bestie chaos. Darby and Sam dive into a pickle-packed taste test featuring goodies from Blue Ridge Pickling and ExEl Pickles. Naturally, everything gets ranked on the official Brined Spear Scale—from Jamie Lynn to Britney Spears. Between bites and a little “cross-brining,” they talk PicklePalooza, debate spice levels, discover the magic of pickled green beans in a Bloody Mary. They wrap things up with rapid fire questions covering their most unhinged adventures, who has the worst ideas, and how their friendship survived becoming long-distance. In short: a baby episode with a whole lotta brine.

    Dorms, Dill, and Daddy Tim

    This week on Brined, we're taking a trip back to our freshman college days. From dorm horror stories and questionable drink choices to raccoons, microwave disasters, and the chaos that somehow built our personalities. We also dive into golf hot takes, running updates, Ex El Pickles, Tim McGraw weekend plans, and, of course, roast each other just enough to prove we're still best friends. Grab a pickle and join the shenanigans.

    Spears Scale: From Jamie Lynn to Britney

    This week on Brined, we're officially feeling tickled because we're trying new pickle products🥒💚 We catch up on life, celebrate a new job, talk about what's been grinding our gears, and get hyped for PicklePalooza before diving into our biggest reviews yet. Plus, we share our latest hot takes on golf, running, and reality TV. We also spotlight Pickle Girl Runs, who's training for the Sydney Marathon in a pickle costume while raising money for Comfort Zone Camp—an incredible cause supporting kids experiencing grief. Whether you're here for the pickle reviews, the random tangents, or just two best friends figuring out podcasting one episode at a time, we're glad you're here.

    Sleepovers, Pauly D, & Pickles

    This week we're covering everything from Midwest culture and moving away from home to shopping wins, DJ Pauly D, sleepovers as adults, and our very first internet hater (we're honestly honored 😂). We also dive into some very important debates: What accessory instantly makes you feel like a baddie?Are half sour pickles actually good?Why are golf skirts so impractical?Are race entry fees getting out of control?Should singers even be on America's Got Talent?As always, expect plenty of hot takes, random tangents, and two friends trying to figure out podcasting one episode at a time.

    So, Here's The Dill

    The conversation begins with the introduction of 'Brined' as a state of being unhinged, marinated in Beverginos, and a flow state. The sound quality is just as unpolished as the hosts, Sam and Darby. On their debut episode, they discuss the meaning of 'Brined' and its significance. They then delve into the evolution of their friendship, from work colleagues to close friends, and share their running journey. The conversation concludes with a recounting of memorable experiences, including a trip to Vegas, a road trip, and a visit to DC. The conversation covers topics such as long-distance friendship, outdoor workout struggles, travel frustrations, paddle boarding adventures, brine beverage review, and rapid fire questions. The hosts share their experiences, frustrations, and humorous anecdotes, providing insights into their dynamic friendship and shared adventures.
