  • Ep. 600: Replacing Human Relationships with AI Bots
    Nov 12 2025

    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 lonely, and we think it has a lot to do with porn, technology, and social conditioning. If they’re outsourcing companionship to AI bots, it seems like it can only go down from here. We need real human interaction to build real human social skills, right? All we can say is good luck to the parents out there.


    The problems with turning to AI for companionship [3:35]

    Our brains are changing, in a bad way [7:21]

    Men have fewer emotionally fulfilling relationships [9:30]

    Why don’t men have friends? [14:12]

    We need human connection to build human social skills [16:02]

    Just be a nice person [20:12]

    Does change start with school? [25:07]

  • Ep. 599: Boss Babes vs. Trad Wives
    Nov 5 2025

    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 does it really have to be just one or the other? We want to live soft lives, too, but we love working and getting shit done! Everyone has different goals for their lives, so while some women may be opting for a more “traditional role,” lets leave some room for all the others who want something else.


    Do strong women want to be “led”? [6:01]

    We got shit to do [9:19]

    Not everyone feels the same way [13:09]

    Time has hardened us more than we’d like [16:08]

    It’s hard to leave the past in the past [20:49]

    There are always strings attached [22:34]

    A rebellion against hustle culture [27:03]

    Oct 29 2025

    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 lives with our followers. Having a strong personal brand is more important now than ever and part of building a personal brand is sharing what you’re up to! So even though we don’t get up to too much shenanigans anymore, we’re going to start sharing the same way we did all those years ago. Wanna join?

  • Ep. 597: Is It Okay to Look Hot for Your Partner?
    Oct 22 2025

    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 not the same thing as the individual men in our lives, and that includes our partners. It’s not a crime to want to look hot for your significant other! Life is long and there are ways our appearances will change that we have no control over and of course we hope to be loved through all of those changes. Buuuuut that doesn’t mean we’ve given up on trying to be hot in the ways we can control.


    The chronically late personality type [2:51]

    The right time to get to the airport [9:11]

    Looking good for yourself AND your partner [11:36]

    Sometimes we make it about looks when it isn’t [24:26]

  • Ep. 596: Danny-J's TEMU Forehead Surgery
    Oct 15 2025

    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 we’re in our 40’s, small cosmetic enhancements make us feel beautiful and confident… Well, for the most part they do. But there are some cosmetic procedures that do more harm than good, especially one specific procedure Danny had done this summer, but we’ll leave that story for you to hear in the full episode.

  • Ep. 594: Defining Your Core Values
    Oct 1 2025

    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 values are can help us find direction in work, play, love, and life. It’s often said that you teach people how to treat you, and with a defined set of values, you get to set the tone for your interactions and future choices. Not all things in this life can be important, and when you know what your core values are, you have the freedom to focus on what really matters to you.


    (This episode is a replay.)


    Why are values important? [1:59]

    Your values guide your expectations and your business [5:55]

    It’s nice to know what you stand for [8:39]

    Some questions to help you understand your own value system [10:22]

    You have to define what your values really mean to you [13:13]

    What are your anti-values? [15:21]

    Running tough decisions through your core values [17:36]

    Not everything can be important all the time [21:27]

  • Ep. 593: We Watched Netflix's Unknown Number
    Sep 24 2025

    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, do it and report back! There are all sorts of fucked up people in the world and being able to hide behind screens and unknown numbers just makes the worst of us even bolder.
