    Compliment Caroline’s house (too late, it’s under contract! Papier mache pubs notwithstanding)



    Also, we recorded this more than 6 weeks ago. Caroline now lives in another house and unpacked these tracks along with a million boxes. Here we are!

    Sparkling Water-Gate

    Sparkling Water-Gate

    It’s been 84 years… since we stopped cancelling on each other and hit “record”, diving deep (had to) into our complicated thoughts about billionaires visiting the Titanic wreckage. There’s plenty of room for you on the door to hear us discuss our recent reads, tunes we’re bopping to (new JoBros + Curse Word T. Swift), and Caroline assigns Mallory some cult-y homework. This episode is brought to you by Nixie sparkling water and Kelly Clarkson’s “Chemistry”.

    Hold My Jade Egg

    Hold My Jade Egg

    Gwyneth has exited the courtroom, and we're entering your ears for our semi-regular return.Recorded 8 days ago, we specialize in the old news you're tired of, therapy insights, and the general goings on plaguing suburban women across the country.

    Or to Your Dog’s CBD Fund

    Or to Your Dog’s CBD Fund

    We're back. Or, we were a week ago, when we recorded. Inside this episode are some reactions to the old-news-now Murdaugh conviction, the to-be-sentenced guesses, which are still old news. Plus Caroline tries to turn Mallory into her therapist again. We hope you listen!

    “Emulsify it as best as you can.”

    “Emulsify it as best as you can.”

    A much-delayed podcast episode derailed by stomach bugs, upset children, and the general mayhem of life as adults. But alas, she's here! And in this episode we explore "Lornos," what the worst candy is to put inside a piñata, and why it's best to just try to emulsify those old emotions.

    I Absolutely Coveted Those Chaps

    I Absolutely Coveted Those Chaps

    It's a deep dive episode into "virginal stripper dancing," as well as the intoxicating allure of filters. And most importantly, where do we draw the line when it comes to beauty choices... especially when they're influenced by social media.

Such a delight to listen to each week!

I am so happy I found this podcast. Each week I love to see what y’all delve into and always feel like we could be real life friends if we lived in the same city. It’s like a hug from friends that you don’t live near but still keep up with!
