| breakups suck - ep. 2 | 25 Feb 2026 | 00:52:07 | |
We watched Wuthering Heights… and it emotionally destroyed us. What started as a casual movie night quickly turned into a spiral about heartbreak, toxic love, and abandonment. Stas and Vic unpack the movie, the red flags we ignore when we’re in love, and why some relationships feel like they ruin you in the best and worst ways. They talk past relationships, breakup grief, and whether soulmates are real - or just really intense trauma bonds.
00:00 Welcome back + why Wuthering Heights emotionally destroyed us 01:09 Leaving the theater in a full heartbreak spiral 02:12 Why breakups feel like real grief 05:37 Was their relationship actually toxic? 09:30 Why we stay in relationships that hurt us 12:45 Being drawn to emotionally unavailable people 15:10 When love feels obsessive or all-consuming 19:01 Red flags we ignored in past relationships 20:56 Being “toxica” in relationships 24:00 Jealousy, insecurity, and relationship baggage 27:00 Are soulmates real or just trauma bonds?

| dr. thais aliabadi: endometriosis, freezing your eggs, and everything we wish we knew sooner - ep. 25 | 19 Aug 2026 | 01:13:24 | |
Today we're sitting down with one of the most respected OB-GYNs in the country, Dr. Thais Aliabadi, to have the conversations every woman deserves to hear but so many of us were never taught. After Stas’ own experience with endometriosis, we wanted to understand why conditions like endometriosis and PCOS can be so difficult to diagnose, what symptoms women should be paying attention to, and how to become a better advocate for yourself when you know something is off. Dr. A walks us through testing, treatment options, and why women’s healthcare should never be one-size-fits-all. Whether you're in your 20’s, 30’s, 40’s, trying to have kids, trying not to have kids, or just trying to better understand your body, this conversation is packed with information every woman (and honestly, every man) should know.

| carter gregory: fourth strike, plot twist and making it in music - ep. 15 | 27 May 2026 | 00:34:04 | |
Carter’s back for part two! We talk about discovering artists then vs. now, the future of streaming, and why the real power behind what becomes viral is in your hands. Carter also opens up about the politics of music, imposter syndrome, seeing artists finally get their flowers, and what it actually takes to build talent instead of just finding it. Plus the creation of his own label Plot Twist Records and its debut launch “Fourth Strike.” It's a conversation about trusting your taste, betting on yourself, and what it looks like when you’re brave to go after the life you want. 0:00 Carter Pt. 2 Begins

| deep into the justine skye lore - ep. 20 | 08 Jul 2026 | 00:41:35 | |
This week we're joined by singer, songwriter, actress, and longtime friend Justine Skye. From growing up in Brooklyn and navigating the music industry at a young age to building a career on her own terms, Justine opens up about the experiences that shaped her both personally and professionally. We talk about being bullied in school, the lessons she learned from watching her mom work in entertainment, redefining success, and the moment she realized no one was going to build her career for her. Plus, we revisit how we all became friends—including Vic's infamous vibe check.

This week we get into how we pack and prepare for trips, why being out and about in New York feels so different from life in Los Angeles, and our ongoing mission to get out of the house more. We also talk about Vic surprising Doni, love languages, and why missing each other might actually be a good thing. Basically, a very random episode filled with travel thoughts, relationship realizations, and a reminder that we probably need more friends.
