| PJ’s, Pillow Talk & Pure Pluckery | 18 Aug 2025 | 00:40:44 | |
We’re closing out Season 9 in true What The Pluck style — with snacks, sass, and a full-blown sleepover! 💅✨ In this season finale, Jamie & Harriet spill the tea on the highs and lows of Season 9, share some very real personal ups and downs, and then dive into a no-holds-barred game of Who’s Most Likely To… 🫣 From “who’s most likely to flirt with a client” to “who’s most likely to throw shade on socials,” nothing (and no one) is safe. Of course, it wouldn’t be WTP without a few detours — cue Bonnie Blue, random tangents, and the kind of unfiltered chaos you can only get when we record in bed. It’s fun, it’s fiery, it’s full of honesty — the perfect way to wrap up Season 9. Grab your PJs and get ready for the wildest sleepover in beauty podcast history.
