Good As New
Rylee Matheson & Jaj Glover
Frequency: 1 episode/10d. Total Eps: 129
Life is messy, beautiful, heartbreaking, happy, and everything in between. It’s those moments that help shape us, give us insight into who we are at our core, and hopefully help craft relationships that will last a lifetime. Events like loss, birth, marriage, graduation and so many more are like road markers along our personal paths, and things don’t always (for better or worse) go as planned. But it’s the story and the results that define who we are - and it’s those life-changing stories that will be coming to you this January with Jaj, who recently found herself a widow with 2 young kids, and Rylee, a budding entrepreneur whose big dreams and even bigger drive are being juggled with the adventure of being a newlywed. Their stories aren’t perfect, but that’s not what we’re here for. We’re learning as we go and hopefully, coming out better than we began. Listen to “Good As New” an imperfectly perfect podcast sharing the moments that break us and build us stronger.

From Widow to Wife — We're Back
Season 2 · Episode 1
mardi 24 février 2026 • Duration 47:13
Good As New is BACK — and we have a LOT to catch up on.
After nearly a year of silence, but we're finally returning to your earbuds, and trust us — the hiatus was not without reason. In this long-awaited Season 2 premiere, we sit down with zero game plan and full hearts to catch you up on everything that went down while we were gone. And spoiler: it was a lot.
From my (Rylee) wild journey of building and opening my own salon from the ground up — the late nights, the inspections, the chaos, the tears, and ultimately the triumph. Plus, a Christmas surprise I never saw coming (hint: it has four legs and answers to Tricky).
Jaj gets raw and honest about the moment her and John's relationship hit its breaking point — for the second time. She walks us through the heartbreak, the move into a new home, the loneliness of starting over in a neighborhood full of young families, and the moment everything changed with a knock at the door and a man in a suit on one knee. Yes, that happened. And yes, there's a video.
From a bachelorette trip in San Clemente (Brody Jenner sighting, anyone?) to a Thursday wedding at Snow Pine Lodge that had everyone in tears — except somehow the bride — this episode is a full-blown catch-up that will have you laughing, crying, and cheering these two on all over again.
They're back. They're better. And we've got some BIG plans we can't wait to tell you all about!
Welcome home. 🤍

Hot Girl Hiatus
Season 1 · Episode 117
mercredi 21 mai 2025 • Duration 06:38
Okay, deep breath… we’ve got good news and bad news. And because we’re us, we’re obviously starting with the bad: this is our last episode for a while. Like summer break vibes, but with more emotional damage and fewer popsicles. Life is lifing, chaos is chaosing, and honestly—we’re at max capacity. Mentally, physically, hormonally. So we’re hitting pause on new episodes until fall, when we’ll (hopefully) return as refreshed queens with something better to say than “I don’t know what’s going on anymore.”
In this short but sweet episode, we’re talking about what’s next, why we’re pressing pause, and what we hope you’ll do in the meantime (hint: it involves sunshine and hugging your people). It’s not goodbye forever—it’s just a “we’ll see you in September with new stories and hopefully better lashes.”
💋 See you soon. Hug your people. And then hug them again.

Hot Takes & Valentine's Fakes
Season 1 · Episode 108
mardi 4 février 2025 • Duration 52:04
Happy Love Month, people! Whether you’re a hopeless romantic or a proud Valentine’s Day hater, we’ve got thoughts. Lots of them. This week, we break down the bizarre relationship limbo of being apart for 10 whole days (does it get awkward?? Do we need a ‘Welcome Home’ sign??), our hot takes on The Bachelor (spoiler: we were SHOCKED at that first impression rose), and why we will never understand Kanye’s wife’s wardrobe choices at the Grammys.
Also on the docket: Beyoncé winning a country album award (justice for Chris Stapleton), Miley’s jellyfish haircut, the absolute fever dream of Charlie XCX’s performance, and whether Lady Gaga is legally required to terrify us at every award show. Oh, and in true Good As New fashion, we’re starving and deeply discussing the ethics of In-N-Out vs. Raising Cane’s.
Buckle up for a ride of hot takes, chaotic energy, and unsolicited opinions. Hit play, grab some food (because we didn’t), and let’s get into it. 🎧✨
