The thing we’re best at in the world is talking about nothing. We’re so good at talking about nothing that we’ve recorded 646 episodes now of talking about nothing, and you’re…
Sep 23, 2026 · 32:38
If there’s one thing we can all agree on, it’s this: men on the internet need to shut up. With every new day, there’s a new man online spewing nonsense and we wanted to chat…
Sep 16, 2026 · 52:24
If you’d ask the opinion of the only people that matter, they’d say we’re the funniest people on Earth. And in case you were wondering, we’re the only people that matter. And you…
Sep 9, 2026 · 33:18
We love a good, cathartic cry as much as the next person, but when it comes to filming ourselves crying and posting it online for the world to see… we’re not sold. Sharing…
Sep 2, 2026 · 39:48
It’s been a rough week. Dolly Parton died, women are filming themselves confronting their cheating husbands, and Danny is attempting to masturbate. All that to say, we’re tired.…
Aug 26, 2026 · 36:53
We’ve made a practice of not taking anything personally but maybe we should be taking things *more* personally. We came across a reel that got us thinking… if we’re all grown ups…
Aug 19, 2026 · 36:04
Maybe it’s the trauma of betrayal, the changing of our hormones, or just general exhaustion, but sex is off the menu. We’ve seen enough non-contextual dicks and had our hearts…
Aug 12, 2026 · 35:00
Life looks really different than how we once imagined it would, and we know we’re not alone in this. Maybe you never got to have the things you wanted, or maybe you got…
Aug 5, 2026 · 38:06
Do we need to be sharing more about our buttholes in order to be successful online? This era of the internet is shaping out to be all about the personal brand, and one way we see…
Jul 29, 2026 · 42:51
In our younger years, being 40 years old seemed like the worst possible thing a person could be. Now we’re well into our 40’s and while we don’t feel ancient yet, we are starting…
Jul 22, 2026 · 32:42
We’ve been friends for 10 years now, so we’d like to think that we’re experts at friendship. It’s easy to maintain a friendship when you see each other often, but it’s taken real…
Jul 15, 2026 · 43:08
There’s a lot of chatter about the male loneliness epidemic, but men aren’t the only ones who are lonely. Plenty of women are lonely, too, and lonely inside of their marriages…
Jul 8, 2026 · 34:07
There’s a lot of talk in certain pockets of the online space about “being in The Room” (whatever that means). In our experience, “The Room” is full of mean girls who only care…
Jul 1, 2026 · 1:01:39
Back for the third time since his original introduction 7 years ago, today we’re talking to Mr. JillFit himself, Keith Lockwood. At the beginning of Jill’s and Keith’s…
Jun 24, 2026 · 39:38
As AI gets more advanced, we’re seeing an influx of AI “influencers” and it’s getting hard to tell, y’all. And even when we know an account is AI, we still find ourselves…
Jun 17, 2026 · 45:22
Some entrepreneurs would have you believe that the only way to be successful is by grinding 24/7. We’re not so sure. There’s certainly a time and place for working long hours,…
Jun 10, 2026 · 32:48
Trolls are everywhere online. No one can escape them and everyone hates them, but what if trolls are only trolls because they hate themselves? We all know the old adage that hurt…
Jun 3, 2026 · 34:38
We’re pretty sensitive to cheating and the harm it causes a person (we’ll give you three guesses as to why) so we found ourselves wondering if are crushes ever okay while you’re…
May 27, 2026 · 30:00
Knowing your partner’s sexual fantasies has the possibility to be really really hot, or really really off-putting. Fantasy can mean a lot of things to different people—some may…
May 20, 2026 · 1:00:03
Trying to find love has been a shit show since… well, forever. We’re just getting better and better with age, but the dating scene, and let’s be honest, men in general, seem to…
May 13, 2026 · 39:46
We would probably all agree that listening in on your partner’s therapy sessions or reading their journals is wrong, but what about reading their ChatGPT history? More and more…
May 6, 2026 · 36:28
Are we old now? Because we can’t remember anything anymore. Maybe it’s because of our hormones, or maybe it’s early-onset dementia, or maybe (okay, almost definitely) it’s due to…
Apr 29, 2026 · 27:40
Nobody likes a girl who hates on other girls, especially for the benefit of men. Once upon a time, when we were younger, we would brag about how we “weren’t like other girls,”…
Apr 22, 2026 · 47:42
Our algorithms feed us the things we consume the most, and unfortunately for us, we love looking at memes about men being evil. But as funny as the people of the internet are, we…
Apr 15, 2026 · 37:30
No one is more dramatic than a man who gets his advances rejected. We don’t mean to speak for every woman, but also… we’re pretty sure every single woman has either had an…
Apr 8, 2026 · 33:27
Break ups are hard enough as it is, but the longer you’re with someone, the more of a logistical mess it is to end your relationship. There are finances, housing, and even family…
Apr 1, 2026 · 31:55
Being in love is great and all, but the real benefit to being in a relationship is the opportunity to split costs. It’s ridiculously expensive just to be alive, which leaves…
Mar 25, 2026 · 37:45
We all probably agree that men, as a group, need to be going to therapy. But when it comes to your individual man… is it okay to demand that they go? We know firsthand exactly…
Mar 18, 2026 · 24:54
We’ve chosen not to have children of our own, but would we date a man with kids? Becoming a step-parent is no joke—it’s a lot of responsibility, often with very little credit,…
Mar 11, 2026 · 30:05
We’ve been friends for a decade now and we’re not at all the same people we were when we met. Luckily, we’ve grown together, but not every friendship is so lucky. Sometimes we…
Mar 4, 2026 · 22:45
When’s the last time you looked into your cringe archive? Everyone who has a personal brand has to go through some less than perfect posts before they get better—it’s a rite of…
Feb 25, 2026 · 32:30
Have you ever seen a course being sold by someone who teaches you how to sell courses about building courses? We love the internet business space and we think there’s so much…
Feb 18, 2026 · 31:43
We know pretty-privilege exists, but is there another layer we haven’t been paying attention to? Some studies show that women who wear makeup make more money than their female…
Feb 11, 2026 · 19:18
Look, we’re not into asking permission from our partners to do anything, but there’s something to be said about being mindful of how they feel. Your partner’s feelings should…
Feb 4, 2026 · 29:54
Not all men are evil monsters, but whenever we have a troll insulting our age or appearance… well, it’s always a man. Maybe it’s just because we have such incredible men in our…
Jan 28, 2026 · 33:41
As we get older, we find ourselves looking back on our happiest memories and noticing that what makes them happy isn’t what we’re doing, but the people we’re with. Life can get…
Jan 21, 2026 · 37:20
Somewhere along the way, liking (or not liking) someone’s instagram posts has become an act of politics. We like the things we stand for—or at the very least, the things we want…
Jan 14, 2026 · 59:30
It’s a brand new year, so now is the perfect time to think about what we want the next 365 days of our lives to look like. Things feel fresh and we’re finding ourselves craving…
Jan 7, 2026 · 31:31
As we get deeper and deeper into our 40’s, we’re finding ourselves less impressed with whatever everyone else is up to. Flashy lives and high follower accounts feel kind of…
Dec 31, 2025 · 35:10
2026 is tomorrow, so it’s out with the old and in with the new! Jill had a pretty great personal year while Danny-J had a pretty shitty one, so we’re wondering, what kind of year…
Dec 24, 2025 · 57:05
Life is shitty to us in one way or another, no matter who we are or what we try to do to prevent it. It is, however, our choice on what to do about the shittiness. Blaming…
Dec 17, 2025 · 42:19
We’ve heard of quiet-quitting when it comes to work, but what about quiet-quitting your relationship?—not really leaving, but not putting in any effort beyond the bare minimum…
Dec 10, 2025 · 32:35
The holidays are around the corner and with visiting family inevitably comes arguing with your weird uncle about some insane thing happening in the news. There’s a time and place…
Dec 5, 2025 · 30:11
Today, Jill and Danny dive into everything from TikTok earworms and the chaos of keeping up with new platforms to Danny’s new “50 First Dates With Myself” challenge that has…
Nov 26, 2025 · 20:30
Last week we talked about Jill’s big news, so this week we wanted to share Danny’s: she’s dating again! Except there’s one big catch—Danny is dating herself. No more waiting…
Nov 19, 2025 · 57:38
Our girl Jill is married! For our OG Besties, you know what a wild ride it’s been—we started this podcast before Jill even met her now husband. We all couldn’t be happier for…
Nov 12, 2025 · 29:35
There are some studies coming out that show young people—especially boys—are turning more and more towards AI for relationships instead of their peers. Yikes. Me are already…
Nov 5, 2025 · 32:48
It’s somehow the era of the Trad Wife—at least on Threads and Twitter—and it seems like all the former Boss Babes are hanging up their blazers and turning them in for aprons. But…
Oct 29, 2025 · 24:42
We’re back in our Shenanigans Era! Okay maybe not, because we’ve really been home-bodies in recent years… but one thing we really miss from 2016-2018 is sharing our day-to-day…
Oct 22, 2025 · 29:26
As we get older, we want to look and feel good for ourselves, but we kind of want to look good for our partners too! Men can be annoying as hell for sure, but men as a whole are…
Oct 15, 2025 · 44:41
We’ve talked about botox and plastic surgery on this podcast before and Besties know, we’re all for it. Maybe when we were younger we were on Team Aging Naturally, but now that…
Oct 9, 2025 · 52:02
We love having thoughtful and insightful conversations as much as the next people, but sometimes we just wanna shoot the shit. It’s been a hectic summer, so we wanted to sit down…
Oct 1, 2025 · 23:13
Our value systems are deeply personal and influence almost everything we do in our lives. We all have core values, whether they’re obvious to us or not. Getting clear on what our…
Sep 24, 2025 · 49:59
We don’t normally talk about pop culture, but we just watched Unknown Number on Netflix and holy. fucking. shit. This episode is full of spoilers so if you haven’t watched yet,…
Sep 17, 2025 · 31:50
Apparently, hating the same things is the mark of a great friendship. It makes sense—misery does love company. There’s something so freeing about getting to be the worst version…
Sep 10, 2025 · 46:21
Yeah, you read that title correctly. Danny-J went to the infamous Burning Man festival. We’ve been skeptics for years, but curiosity finally won out, and we wish we could say it…
Sep 3, 2025 · 44:36
We’ve lived enough life by now to know that shame is never helpful. Sometimes when bad things happen to us as a result of our choices, some asshole hits us with the, “well, you…
Aug 27, 2025 · 28:28
Our Jill is getting married 🥹 If you’ve been a listener from the beginning, you’ll know what a big deal this is and just how proud we are. To celebrate Jill’s Final Fiesta…
Aug 20, 2025 · 42:45
Much love and respect to the Gen Z hustlers out there, but that couldn’t be us. Maybe we’re getting lazy, or maybe we’re getting old, but either way, we don’t want to work…
Aug 13, 2025 · 30:24
Is everyone on Ozempic? Look, GLP-1s are a game changer for so many people’s health. People with metabolic dysfunction and chronic obesity are getting the help they need, which…
Aug 6, 2025 · 41:00
Modern life is just way too overstimulating. There’s more news flooding our feeds before we can even come to terms with what we’ve already seen and now we’re hearing things about…
Jul 30, 2025 · 31:59
Have you noticed an increase in discourse about why (or why not) birth rates are declining in America? We see a lot of blame directed towards women—things like, “women are too…
Jul 23, 2025 · 38:53
The wellness industry needs to chill the fuck out. Everyone wants to live forever, but we haven’t heard any good reasons why we would want to. Look, we aren’t advocating for…
Jul 16, 2025 · 33:17
Does grief have a timeline? Is there a statute of limitations on how long you’re allowed to hurt? We’ve been through our fair share of shitty situations, and have come to…
Jul 9, 2025 · 44:08
There’s this funny thing about being a creator on the internet—strangers think they know you. And while we post the things we post with connection in mind, there are always a…
Jul 2, 2025 · 25:44
Have you ever loved the idea of what someone *could* be, more than the person that they actually are? There’s danger in falling in love with someone’s potential. Some people are…
Jun 25, 2025 · 33:24
Instagram is rolling out a new feature that defaults to keeping news and political content off of our feeds, and it got us thinking, is it irresponsible to ignore current events?…
Jun 18, 2025 · 36:33
No one goes in to a marriage hoping that it’ll fail, but statistics don’t lie, and around half of all marriages end in divorce. With those odds, wouldn’t you want to be…
Jun 11, 2025 · 33:46
Never say never on the internet because if you make a public claim about one thing and then eventually change your mind, someone out there named Susan is going to be VERY mad at…
Jun 4, 2025 · 20:27
The world might be run by assholes and idiots, but that doesn’t make us powerless! Y’all, this is the Best Life, and living the Best Life means realizing that even in the worst…
May 28, 2025 · 28:44
Sometimes it feels like we’re in all-out gender warfare, where women are putting in work to heal themselves while men dig their heels into their old, problematic ways. You don’t…
May 21, 2025 · 30:55
We’re back and chatting about our new favorite subject—ChatGPT. Danny-J is an outspoken ChatGPT lover—it’s her nutrition coach, therapist, best friend, travel agent, personal…
May 14, 2025 · 26:58
We can’t fight the fact that we’re getting older, so we might as well fight the urge to hate our bodies. Nobody (and no body, for that matter) looks hot every moment of the day.…
May 7, 2025 · 22:05
Is ChatGPT taking over the world? Is it making us dumber? Less social? Is it ruining our critical thinking? Nope! At least for us, AI programs like ChatGPT have been a powerful…
Apr 30, 2025 · 22:32
Katy Perry went to space, and women everywhere rejoiced. Except that didn’t actually happened. Well, Katy Perry DID go to “space” but the rest of us were pretty unimpressed.…
Apr 23, 2025 · 41:36
Getting older is already enough of a mind-fuck, and now Danny has to start adding dating back into the mix? Are you fucking serious?! We thought dating in our mid-30’s was bad,…
Apr 16, 2025 · 43:08
The person you decide to build a life with is one of the most important decisions you can make, but also… Sometimes the person you once knew (or even the person you once were)…
Apr 9, 2025 · 30:01
When you’ve travelled as much as we have, and worked from home for as long as we have, building an in-person community is harder than it looks. We have so many deep friendships…
Apr 2, 2025 · 32:05
What makes a good friend? Is it someone with lots of wealth, power, or status? Someone who can connect you with important people? Kind of sounds like a business colleague or…
Mar 26, 2025 · 15:16
Have you ever had someone (usually an internet marketer trying to sell you something) tell you to “build a life you don’t need a vacation from”? It’s a nice little sound bite,…
Mar 19, 2025 · 26:49
If men cared about their relationships with women, it would make sense to listen to what women have to say, right? Yeah, we know, sounds unrealistic. Mens work is important, but…
Mar 12, 2025 · 22:40
Jill is newly and happily engaged, but her relationship hasn’t always been perfect. When it came time to decide to break-up or take the next step in the relationship, Jill and…
Mar 5, 2025 · 24:35
Sometimes we’d like to wave a magic wand and be miraculously healed from all our traumas and pain. Unfortunately for us (and you) we live in the real world where our pains demand…
Feb 26, 2025 · 22:12
We’ve finally arrived at “mid-life” and if there were ever a time to have a crisis, it’s now. It’s easy to get swept up in the fast pace of our lives and forget to ask ourselves…
Feb 19, 2025 · 21:24
No one loves feeling like an Impostor, but there are some people who probably should feel like one. There’s utility in Impostor Syndrome—if you’re feeling it, is it possible that…
Feb 12, 2025 · 35:47
Everyone knows that if you dare to have a presence on the internet, you have to stay the same forever. Duh. Changing your mind and evolving as a person is a luxury allowed only…
Feb 5, 2025 · 32:33
Even for people who know everything there is to know about having a healthy mindset need to check themselves at some point. Sometimes, it’s exactly the people that “know better”…
Jan 29, 2025 · 1:00:35
Today, Jill is having a conversation with fellow fitness business coach, Nardia Norman. Nardia shares her journey as a trainer of personal trainers, how a personal health crisis…
Jan 22, 2025 · 34:32
This podcast grew out of some really shitty times in our lives, and since then we’ve learned a lot about how to deal with all that shittiness, especially when that shittiness is…
Jan 15, 2025 · 24:22
We’ve fucked up and started over and changed our minds so many times in this life that we lost count. In our younger years, we made a lot of decisions that we thought other…
Jan 8, 2025 · 44:45
Somehow, it’s a new year again and this time we’re feeling neither well-rested, nor excited to do it all again. It’s almost like the years start coming and they don’t stop…
Jan 3, 2025 · 22:28
As much as we all love being petty (and you know we’re good at it, too) there is something to be said about being the “bigger person.” While the un-evolved versions of ourselves…
Dec 27, 2024 · 28:30
Let’s normalize taking a break. Our society focuses heavily on constant productivity and hustling 24/7 but let’s be honest, it’s just not sustainable! Sometimes your creative…
Dec 25, 2024 · 26:34
As the year comes to a close, there is a lot of messaging to keep going, to push through—to push harder, even. We’d like to offer up another perspective: chill the f*ck out.…
Dec 20, 2024 · 31:06
Yes, food is fuel but it is so much more than that. Food is community and connection, and honestly, sometimes that shit is simply delicious. We used to be those kinds of people…
Dec 18, 2024 · 24:28
The holiday season is just around the corner and with the holidays comes a lot of stress, expectations, and obligations. Fuck that. Just because someone said you “should” spend…
Dec 13, 2024 · 30:04
We’ve been entrepreneurs for well over a decade now, and we know we have plenty of listeners with their own businesses or with entrepreneurial dreams, so we wanted to talk a…
Dec 11, 2024 · 31:44
Is it just us, or is Black Friday out of control now? Less than 10 years ago, Black Friday was a one-day event where you’d slap a bitch at Walmart for taking the last flat-screen…
Dec 6, 2024 · 19:27
Everyone’s been asking the same question for years: can men and women be friends? We see no problem with male-female friendships, but things feel a little more complicated when…
Dec 4, 2024 · 38:50
Life is complicated and as much as we would love some straight-forward answers, it’s rare we get any. Lately we’ve been thinking about how our consumer habits might be harmful,…
