  1. Romance Needs a Rebrand: Anti-Valentine’s Day, Dating Burnout & the Male Loneliness Debate

    3D AGO

    Romance Needs a Rebrand: Anti-Valentine’s Day, Dating Burnout & the Male Loneliness Debate

    This week we’re ditching the roses and leaning fully into Anti-Valentine’s Day with a spicy conversation inspired by Emily's recent Substack essay: unpacking the cultural obsession with the “male loneliness epidemic” and asking whether men actually aren’t lonely enough to change their behavior. We talk dating burnout, emotional labor, shifting expectations in modern relationships, and why so many women are opting out of traditional romance altogether. From internet discourse to real-life dating stories, we break down who’s being asked to grow, who gets sympathy, and how Valentine’s Day became less about love and more about accountability, boundaries, and rewriting the rules of connection.Ultimately...

    Managing the Group Chat: Ashley Tisdale’s Toxic Mom Group, the Beckham Family Drama, and Navigating Power Dynamics

    This week we’re unpacking what it really means to manage relationships as an adult because apparently no one warned us it would feel like a full-time job. We break down the Ashley Tisdale “toxic mom group” drama and how navigating friendships at different life stages can quietly shift power dynamics, expectations, and resentment. From there, we dive into the Brooklyn Beckham family drama and talk about the complicated process of becoming your own person outside of your family (especially when love and control start to blur). It’s an honest conversation about boundaries, independence, and learning when to adjust relationships instead of abandoning them altogether. --- Stream Hannah's album, PHASES!

    Kiss All the Time, Lose Our Minds Occasionally: Pop Cultural Survival Guide

    This week’s episode is a full pop culture catch-up, bouncing from awards season chaos to celebrity soft launches and New Year reality checks. We break down the Grammy nomination picks, Oscar noms, and why Sinners deserves Best Picture (no notes), plus unpack the absolute audacity of Wicked getting shut out. We spiral over Harry Styles’ rumored new album (Kiss All the Time, Disco Occasionally), what his next tour could look like, and why it already has us emotionally budgeting. Speaking of budgeting, we also get real about saving money in the new year — while watching Timothée Chalamet finally make his love for Kylie Jenner public. Culture is moving fast, our opinions are strong, and yes, we’re talking about all of it. --- Stream Hannah's album, PHASES! Watch Emily's Short Film, All We Were!

    JAN 12

    Lengths We Go To For Friendships: Why Are We Stricter with Friends Than Boyfriends?

    This week, we dive into the chaos of modern loyalty—where saying you’d stay friends with someone even if they cheated is suddenly a hot take worthy of internet judgment. We talk about why female friendships often carry stricter moral rules than romantic relationships, and how we’ll forgive a boy who texts three other girls before we’ll forgive a bestie for one wrong move. From ride-or-die devotion to “one strike and you’re out” social expectations, we untangle the contradictions in how we treat the people who love us most, what loyalty actually means, and why women are expected to be both saints and therapists in every relationship we touch. --- Stream Hannah's album, PHASES!

  5. It's The End of Beginning: Year of the Horse, Manifesting 2026 & Stranger Things

    JAN 5

    It's The End of Beginning: Year of the Horse, Manifesting 2026 & Stranger Things

    This week we are officially in transition mode as we say goodbye to the Year of the Snake and step into the Year of the Horse, aka leaving behind quiet lessons and sprinting toward main character energy. We reflect on what 2025 taught us, what habits and mindsets we are shedding, and what we actually want to bring into 2026 without jinxing ourselves. Plus, we recap the Stranger Things finale, process our emotions, and try to figure out how a show that raised us emotionally is suddenly… over. Equal parts reflective, chaotic, and deeply unserious. --- Stream Hannah's album, PHASES! Watch Emily's Short Film, All We Were!

    Goodbye 2025, Hello 2026: Our End of Year Recap and New Year Goals

    In this episode, we take a trip down memory lane to reflect on the highs and lows of 2025, sharing our favorite films, albums, and standout moments from the year. We dive into what made these picks special and how they shaped our year. Plus, we talk about our big goals for 2026 and the things we're most excited to see unfold; whether it's new releases, personal growth, or changes in the world. It's a mix of nostalgia, anticipation, and optimism as we look back and forward in a fun, laid-back chat! --- Stream Hannah's album, PHASES! Watch Emily's Short Film, All We Were!

  7. You Can’t Run Away From Yourself: Reality TV and the Illusion of Escape

    12/15/2025

    You Can’t Run Away From Yourself: Reality TV and the Illusion of Escape

    This week starts exactly how all serious conversations should: with reality TV. We get into The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, pivot to the new movie Hamnet, and somehow end up having an existential conversation about mental health, avoidance, and the uncomfortable truth that you can’t actually run away from yourself. We talk about why people cling to structure, relationships, and fantasy as a form of escape — and what happens when you realize you’re stuck with your own thoughts for the rest of your life. A classic case of best friends chatting about pop culture and accidentally unpacking the human condition. --- Stream Hannah's album, PHASES! Watch Emily's Short Film, All We Were!

    Battling Seasonal Depression, Vecna, and The Wizard of Oz: Pop Culture Survival Guide

    This week, we’re reuniting over Thanksgiving and immediately diving into our shared love language: watching Wicked For Good with each other like the true Galinda and Elphaba we are! We also break down everything we’re manifesting, fearing, and theorizing for Stranger Things Season 5. Also, since it wouldn’t be the holidays without a little emotional whiplash, we get real about seasonal depression, how it creeps in this time of year, and the tiny rituals that actually help us stay grounded. Cozy chaos, delusion, and comfort food–coded healing all in one episode. --- Stream Hannah's album, PHASES! Watch Emily's Short Film, All We Were!
