| Bring Back Crossover Episodes | 27 May 2025 | 00:47:07 | |
Send us a love letter (or hate mail, your choice!) Picture this: the year is 2006, and Disney's three-episode crossover series 'That's So Suite Life of Hannah Montana' is releasing its first episode at 8/7 central, and you're SAT, ready to witness a piece of history. James and I take to the podcast to nerd out over iconic crossover episodes, spiral over the sensation of an itch, and pick apart some truly cursed celebrity endorsements. P.S.

Send us a love letter (or hate mail, your choice!) We're all secretly afraid that our kids will be losers, and listen, I'm here to tell you that if that happened to me? I wouldn't talk to him either!

Send us a love letter (or hate mail, your choice!)

Send us a love letter (or hate mail, your choice!) For someone who works in social media, I admittedly have absolutely no idea how to be online.

Send us a love letter (or hate mail, your choice!) Something that nobody’s talking about is that it’s actually really brave to sit next to someone at the airport.

| Life? She’s Messy! | 10 May 2022 | 00:38:27 | |
Send us a love letter (or hate mail, your choice!) Most of the time you plan your little events and your trips and your dinners with friends and life is good, other times you have a quick menty-b and dissociate at work while looking at memes about having your rights stripped away, it’s called BALANCE. Ironically, the week that I return from my unplanned podcasting hiatus just so happens to be National Mental Health Awareness Week, perhaps a sick joke? But in all seriousness, let this little ep be a reminder to take care of yourselves because, life? She’s messy—okay? Lysm! xx FOLLOW THE PODCAST FOLLOW SAMANTHA PROTECT ACCESS TO SAFE, LEGAL ABORTION & REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS | |||
| Water Is Not a Beverage | 12 Apr 2022 | 00:34:26 | |
Send us a love letter (or hate mail, your choice!) The #1 rule that I live by is this: If you consume three or more specialty beverages within a short period of time, that automatically means you’re having a good day. And just so we’re crystal clear, water is not a beverage. We’re not here for hydration, we’re just here to sip our little drinks and be merry. It’s simple really. What else are we drinking? We’re drinking the Shonda Rhimes Koolaid, honey! Confused? So are we! Oh, by the way, we’re moving to Chicago! xx FOLLOW THE PODCAST FOLLOW SAMANTHA FOLLOW JAMES BRIDGERTON: OFFICIAL PLAYLIST | |||

Now just imagine having enough hobbies to own and operate 17 [seventeen] different Instagram accounts.

This week on the podcast my wonderful friend Abby and I gripe about the trials and tribulations of being a twenty-something desperately searching for a job that provides health insurance and cool roommates to split the rent with.

Send us a love letter (or hate mail, your choice!) Something that sucks about being a “creative” is that, on occasion, you find yourself in a job that actually stifles your creativity—ironic, isn’t it? But hey, that’s capitalism, baby! The good news is, that hasn’t stopped my friend Jacob, not even a little bit. He’s one of the most talented photographers and artists I know, and if you try to tell me otherwise I WILL report you!

Send us a love letter (or hate mail, your choice!) So, we have news, we’re thinking about getting a Roomba. I know, this is a big step, but I assure you—we’ve thought long and hard about this. You see, after conducting an extensive amount of research, we’ve come to the conclusion that simply can’t carry on living this miserable, Roomba-less life any longer.

Send us a love letter (or hate mail, your choice!) James and I just got back from the Apostle Islands where the only coffee shop in town was closed, everyone was wearing flannel, and all of the restaurants were closed by 7pm.

Send us a love letter (or hate mail, your choice!) Are you a responsible adult or do you lose at least one of your most important belongings every time to leave the house? If you’re anything like me, you’re so used to things going missing that you assume they’re lost before you even look. And you know what? Most of the time, you’re fucking right!

We’ve both lived in Madison for basically our entire lives, we both grew up on the west side, we both graduated from UW, and slowly but surely all of our mutual friends have up and moved away, leaving us in the fucking dust. Are we bitter? Obviously not, but like our new “608” group chat is just our two-person text thread, so do with that information what you will.

Send us a love letter (or hate mail, your choice!) Why do we glamorize being busy? Like seriously, when did we decide being busy was cute? Today on the podcast Sophia and I chat about how much we loathe (but also kind of love?) being busy. Here we are, so desperately wishing to be those girls who wake up with enough time for a cup of coffee (or two!) before our morning workout class that we somehow manage to squeeze in before starting our day. We want to have packed schedules and full social calendars, or at least we think we do. But the truth is, being busy is overrated and overwhelming, so like, let's relax maybe? Idk | |||

Send us a love letter (or hate mail, your choice!) Summer is overrated. It was cool when we were kids because it meant three months of absolute freedom, but now? Now summer just means feeling way worse about not being able to spend time outdoors because you’re stuck inside for eight (plus!) hours a day doing something tacky like answering emails. Don’t get me wrong, I like summer just fine, but imo, people give this hot, sweaty, sticky, bug-ridden time of year way too much credit. That being said, H.A.G.S.

Send us a love letter (or hate mail, your choice!) When applied to the act of traveling, the phrase, ‘it’s not about the destination, it’s about the journey,’ is actually so stupid. Traveling sucks.

| Til Death Do Us Part | 27 Apr 2021 | 00:52:24 | |
Send us a love letter (or hate mail, your choice!) If the pandemic was good for anything, it was encouraging, nay, enforcing a pause. Today I have my amazing friend Victoria on the podcast to chat about the non-stop grind that is life in the service industry and even crazier reality of working in a salon in the midst of a pandemic. When you work with people, especially when you work behind the chair, you can’t exactly afford to have a bad attitude while on the clock. Instead, you develop a sort of pseudo persona, one that you can quite literally turn on or off with the flip of a switch. Being “on” all of the time is already mentally and emotionally taxing, then you throw a fucking pandemic into the mix and it becomes a lot harder to put on those happy pants.

Send us a love letter (or hate mail, your choice!) Ok, we get it, we're almost twenty-five and we still don't know how to do our taxes or get our oil changed, so what? Adulting is actually super messed up when you really think about it, and we prefer to believe that the fact that we don't know how to balance a checkbook or schedule our own appointments is really just a testament to our youth. We're working on it ok? We have big girl jobs, we've been flossing more, and honestly? We're just doing our fucking best. What more do you want from us!!!
