In this episode, Tay + Whit sit down with the patron saint of skincare: the one-and-only Dr. Angelo Landriscina (better known as his handle @dermangelo). We talk TikTok trends, his best anti-aging advice, the products he swears by and what inspired him to create his brand SOUL-A. Consider this the gospel according to Dermangelo. Hosted on Acast.

This week, we are officially Cool Moms™ (though one of us is still childless and deeply committed to sleeping in). Whit recaps her chaotic murder mystery party that went totally off-script, Tay spirals over her latest true crime doc obsession, and we end with Tay’s controversial, highly scientific taste-test of Whit’s favorite candy: the Take 5. Spoiler: feelings were hurt. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
It’s our Halloween episode and chaos is in the air: a possible intruder at Whitney’s house, Tay’s run-in with a black cat, and a deep dive into our college slutty costume era. Happy Halloween, everyone. 👻🎃🕸️ Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
This week, we’re talking (and fan-girling) with legendary costume designer Renée Ehrlich Kalfus—the genius behind Blake Lively’s jaw-dropping looks in A Simple Favor, the vintage perfection of Hidden Figures, and basically half the movies that shaped our style. She tells us how costumes build characters, what it’s really like to dress Hollywood royalty, and which looks she still can’t get out of her head. Hosted on Acast.

Tay + Whit jump-scare right into spooky season with their first-ever guest! Real-life psychic medium 👻✨ Jen from The DeMystics teaches them all about trusting their instincts, Whit listening to her whisper-quiet intuition, and Tay's sneaking suspicions of stalker spirits. Whether you're a hardcore believer or a questioning skeptic, come along for the supernatural ride. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
It’s Tay’s 39th birthday and she’s spending it exactly how she dreamed: spiraling down an internet K-hole about a woman who thinks Sandra Bullock is trying to poison her Panera Diet Coke. Whit, meanwhile, is busy gluing on fake lashes and getting roasted by her optometrist. There’s also a Jim Harris cameo (unhinged as always), and Whit finally watched The Tinder Swindler and has thoughts. So grab a Diet Coke and join the madness. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
It’s the beauty episode! Whit + Tay spill their hacks, fails, hot takes and questionable wisdom (Whit once used hairspray as setting spray. Like on purpose…). Beauty school dropouts, reporting for duty. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
This week we’re catching up and, frankly, spiraling. Whit is suddenly relating a little too much to the Pedro Almodóvar classic Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown. And Tay has entered the seventh circle of hell otherwise known as Facebook Marketplace, where strangers ask 84 questions before ghosting you over a $50 chair. It’s further confirmation that adulting is mostly just paperwork and unrelenting anxiety 🤡 Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Your two favorite unlicensed therapists are back with another round of Unqualified Advice. On the docket: husbands double-tapping thirst traps, coworkers claiming credit for your genius ideas, and the complicated math of age differences in dating. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Whit’s finally recovering from six straight weeks of living at Party City (three kids, three August birthdays = Groundhog Day with icing). Now we're leaning into fall with pumpkin spice, fleece, and all things cozy and basic. We swap stories on our own childhood birthdays (Q-ZAR supremacy, anyone?) and plot Tay’s Real Housewives–themed 40th—complete with casting ourselves as Housewives. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
From Gaga at MSG to the closet chaos of turning 40, this episode covers it all. Whit relives her night out as a little monster, then she and Tay dive into fashion, identity, and the bizarre challenge of dressing for an age that feels… undefined. Is fashion at 40 liberating, maddening, or both? They’re figuring it out in real time. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
This week Tay + Whit dive Into the wild world of wellness—where “the power of positive thinking” is apparently a cure-all and crystals are sold as medical devices. Tay reports back from bathhouse-of-the-moment Othership, Whit lays down the law on soundbath behavior, and together they discuss how a lot of what’s termed “self-care” may be a scam.

If only we knew then what we know now. This week, Tay and Whit unpack the relationship truths they wish someone had told them in their twenties—the kind that would've saved a whole lot of time and so many dramatic notes app drafts.

This week, we’re taking it back to the glory days of retail name tags, wildly unqualified babysitting gigs, and yacht club serving shifts. Our first jobs were chaotic, humbling, and weirdly formative. We’re talking about the lessons they taught us (confidence, people skills, how to disassociate while folding sweaters) and the batshit level of unpreparedness we only realize in retrospect.
