Classless Chaps

Join sisters Maddy and Phoebe for their weekly catch-ups about life, relationships and reality TV. You can always count on their chats to get hilariously tangential and a little unhinged. Grab a snack, get in your comfies, and listen every Wednesday. You can also watch on Youtube :)

Love Island Tier List

First, we have to address the Drew-and-Danny-shaped elephant in the room and welcome some new chaps on board! You're truly incredigirls for being in on our stupid joke and we hope you stick around. Then we talk about Maddy's failed house purchases and plans for the next real podcast studio before getting into the real meat and potatoes of this episode: our Love Island tier list. We rank all the Love Island UK seasons and discuss which ones have the most drama, solid couples, bromances, and misogyny unfortunately! Let us know ALL your thoughts in the comments please :) Instagram: @classlesschaps.podcast @itsmaddybeard @__phoebe.taylor Intro and outro music written & produced by CJ Essen

Moving, Youtube Epiphanies & The Cody Ko Situation

Aaron’s Reckoning, Molly-Mae’s Fury, & You’re All Wrong About Rob (Love Island USA Reunion Recap)

This week we go DEEP into this summer's season of Love Island USA. We talk about how we're the only ones on the planet who 'get' Rob, we air out our (potentially hot) take on Aaron. The drama with Nicole & Kendall, and of course all of our favorite girlies. We couldn't wrap before addressing the Molly Mae & Tommy of it all... It has truly been a summer to remember.

Clean Safe Routines Guaranteed to Stick

This week we chat all things routines -- our favorite routines, our dream routines, our sleepy girl routines, & our hot girl routines. We figure out what makes a routine satisfying vs boring, what kind of routines are "guaranteed to stick," and why little tiny rituals can be even more effective than hour by hour schedules.

Our Genius is Showing (Spongebob Trivia)

Join us for a jam-packed hour of Spongebob Trivia in honor of our favorite sponge's 25th birthday! But let's be real, we would take any excuse to play this game on the pod... This is a good one to watch on YouTube if you want so you can see our scoreboard and let us know in the comments how many answers you knew :) Instagram: @classlesschaps.podcast @maddy_bru @__phoebe.taylor Intro and outro music written & produced by CJ Essen

You're Prettier When You're Happy + Everything is a Construct

This week the girls are getting PASSIONATE. They recap their summer trips and hypothesize that they are, quite literally, prettier when they're happy. They also rant about ~career talk~ being the constant go-to when conversing in this day and age, and how it feels so disconnected from our true spirit and is, frankly, just getting boring. Maybe instead of focusing our daily life around work and sprinkling in the fun and connection, we should start structuring our days and our goals around fun and connection, and find time here and there for work and productivity.  Sounds like a pipe dream, but is it really? FORGET EVERYTHING YOU KNOW except for fine dining and breathing -- and start living your life the way that actually sounds good and makes sense for YOU.

Official Cancelled YouTubers Tier List

Come with us on a long journey down Cancelled YouTuber Lane, chugging down the tracks of "misinformation," as we put together the official Classless Chaps YouTuber Apology Tier List. Some of this lore is truly so iconic we had to take an episode to talk about it. Sidenote: If you don't already, this would be a good episode to watch on YouTube because we visually create the tier list and show a pic of everyone we talk about.

Lunch Theory & Other Musings

Today the girls shoot the shiz and hypothesize on the ONE thing that might be holding them back from reaching their highest potential... a midday ham & cheese? They also talk about weird things they've cried at and Phoebe's celebrity crush glow-up. If you're listening to this episode over lunch, let us know you're one of us.

I'm an "Ideas" Woman

This week the girls reminisce on their many, MANY business ideas that they were, at one time or another, CONVINCED would be their thing for the rest of their lives. And some of them were... a stretch. Ideas? Yes. Execution? Not so much. Instagram: @classlesschaps.podcast @maddy_bru @__phoebe.taylor Intro and outro music written & produced by CJ Essen

We Don't Get It

This week the girls are back with another ~amateur research hour~ WOOO! We did a little digging on some things we've never understood but never bothered to look up... until now. From hybrid fruits to the history of money to sneeze DNA, I think it's safe to say we ended this episode a little smarter than we started it... which isn't saying much.

Chewed Up & Spit Out (The Phoebe Interview)

This week Maddy interviews Phoebe! Phoebe explains how she ended up living in Australia -- and... how she got kicked out. She gets into the nitty gritty of friendship drama in college, her mental breakdown abroad, and how she almost turned right around and went home the day after landing in Australia for the first time. But first, she reminisces on her one "crazy" night in high school (lol). Instagram: @classlesschaps.podcast @maddy_bru @__phoebe.taylor Intro and outro music written & produced by CJ Essen

My Silly Wacky Career Path (The Maddy Interview)

As if we don't yap about ourselves enough every week, we wanted to take a couple dedicated episodes to help you guys get to know each of us better. This week, Phoebe is interviewing Maddy! We talk about how she's different from her younger self, her life-changing graphic design program, and the messy career path she's been on since graduating 7 years ago. Buckle up for a nostalgic and inspirational ride down memory lane. Instagram: @classlesschaps.podcast @maddy_bru @__phoebe.taylor Intro and outro music written & produced by CJ Essen

They Don't Make 'Em Like They Used To

This week the girls have a hard time coming up with a description for this episode. Maddy took a crack at the first draft to no avail. Phoebe approved out of desperation. You read this and realized they're kinda dumb... but alas, you listened to the whole episode anyway. And honestly, it kind of blew you away, because you had no prior expectations except for the title & the following keywords: style refresh, closet clean out, nostalgic kid shows, interior design, MRI gone wrong story   Instagram: @classlesschaps.podcast @maddy_bru @__phoebe.taylor Intro and outro music written & produced by CJ Essen

Summer Bucket Lists & an Infertility Update

After a rather in-depth infertility update, this week we talk all about ~summer~! We share our bucket list items as well as routines we want to adopt this season. From fitness hobbies to over-the-top picnics and other oddly specific nostalgic activities, hopefully this episode gives you some inspo for your own summer bucket list :) Instagram: @classlesschaps.podcast @maddy_bru @__phoebe.taylor Intro and outro music written & produced by CJ Essen

So... This is the Future?

Maddy and Phoebe dive into new technologies they didn't fully understand before. From AI to gene editing and other weird sh*t in between, how will this stuff affect our lives in the near future? Phoebe thinks robot-run stores will be open 24/7. Maddy worries the Apple Vision Pro will never fit her tiny head. And they both think Elon Musk should go live on Mars and take his cyber truck with him.

It's Gut Check Time! (following your intuition)

Maddy and Phoebe chat about following your gut and the difference between intuition and anxiety.  Maddy follows her whims, Phoebe cuts off all her hair and flees to New Zealand, and they both realize the importance of making decisions from a place of inspiration rather than desperation.

Loose Opinions, Strongly Held (our extra toasty takes)

The girls chat about their hot takes that are *cough* actually hot.  And then the hot takes turn into lukewarm opinions - incredibly niche ones, nonetheless.  But first they break down the words and phrases they can’t stop using in 2024, and they can promise you they stray FAR from the trendy lingo that you hear all the time — I mean, unless asking “Mrs. Puff, what should I be working on?” is suddenly a gen z catchphrase.   Instagram: @classlesschaps.podcast @maddy_bru @__phoebe.taylor Intro and outro music written & produced by CJ Essen

YouTube Killed the Reality Star?

Is the age of reality stars coming to an end now that anyone can be the star of their own "reality show" on YouTube?! This week the girls talk about the unexpected symbiosis between reality TV and social media. Maddy worships the ground Drew Gooden walks upon and Phoebe wants to barf at the phrase "parasocial relationships."    Instagram: @classlesschaps.podcast @maddy_bru @__phoebe.taylor Intro and outro music written & produced by CJ Essen
