While Lauren is away on the high seas, Chanler invites her newest and hands down funniest friend Joe Peacock on the pod to do a complete critical analysis of Taylor Swift.

This week we dive into the disturbing, sick world of beauty standards on social. Why are celebs like Denise Richards posting photos of themselves that are as detached from reality as Chanler's spending habits?

This week Chan and Lauren catch up from across the pond. First, the gals dig into Denise Richard's most recent IG post and ask one burning question: wtf is happening on IG these days?

Lauren speaks to us across the airwaves from Portugal. Listen along as she gives us all the details on her business class transatlantic flight in true nouveau riche, basic b fashion. Chanler discusses her upcoming plans for her birthday and strategies for avoiding a meltdown. Finally, we intro a new segment, "What Lauren's Reading." This week, Lauren's tome of choice is "T: The Story of Testosterone, the Hormone that Dominates and Divides Us" by Carole Hooven. The book seeks to illustrate how the hormone to testosterone can explain the documented, cross-cultural differences between men and women. We start at the beginning, though, and chat about how ancient practices of castration were the first indicators of a powerful substance in a man's nether regions ultimately leading to the discovery of Testosterone.

This weekly dispatch finds Chanler in the idyllic Nantucket Island, where she is happily ensconced in a world of picturesque scenery and wealthy, well groomed families.

This week we get into a spirited debate over a nagging question Lauren can't get off her mind: how does wealth flow from ultra rich celebs to their normal, civilian family members? Does Taylor Swift party on yachts with the Hadid sisters while her brother grinds away from 9-5 at Allstate Insurance? How is the playing field artificially leveled to avoid vast chasms of resentment on both sides?! We get into a heated conversation about this and then turn to an even hotter topic: J-Lo's and Ben Affleck's nostalgia tour of Europe with PDA-packed throwback pics. Finally, Chanler gives a stunning recap of @houseinhabit on IG's deep dive on JFK Jr., and Lauren issues her thoughts on the news that Prince Harry is writing a memoir.

David Yontef joins to give us all the insider tea on being friends with the real housewives. We explore some of the great questions of our time, like did Heather Dubrow get Braunwyn fired from RHOC? Where does the Dubrow fortune come from?

The smartest Bledsoe sis, Ash, is BACK to get into all things midwifery, pregnancy, giving birth, and postpartum care. Ash is an absolute wealth of knowledge and as a certified professional midwife, she isn't giving fraudulently uncredentialed, bad advice like Chanler and I do regularly.

After a long and luxuriating holiday weekend, we return to the airwaves to recount how we respectively celebrated the 4th.

Just when you thought we had nothing left to say, we’re back with another 50 minutes of total nonsense.

This week our very own sis, Ash Johnsdottir, the enigmatic, eldest Bledsoe comes out of the shadows and joins the pod to regale our listeners with family tales growing up as a Bledsoe sis and all things skin care. Ash tells the story of choosing to change her last name to “Johnsdottir.”

Mary Fitzgerald joins to discuss all things real estate and the hit show she stars on, Selling Sunset on Netflix. Listen along as Mary divulges how the show began, how filming works, how she got her start in real estate and the difference between the shows portrayal of working in real estate and the reality of being an agent.

This week Chanler sends the innocent company, MakeSpace, into a state of emergency due to an embarrassing lack of spatial awareness. Lauren complains about overly chatty customer service representatives and the new ubiquity of tipping expectations.
