  • #256: Rewards For Your Crotch & Butt or It’s Called Sex in the City, Not Toddlers at Daycare
    Apr 29 2026

    This week on the pod, the Pay-TREE-archy gives us allergies, and we get a “Baby Jessica” update. If you’re Gen X, you know. Maya goes to a Tom Petty cover band. Amy and Maya have different experiences ordering things from China. Someone brought a gun to the White House Correspondence Dinner, and Maya ponders if we’ve become desensitized to the world completely unraveling. Maya wonders how historians will feel about our laissez-faire attitude while the world was completely falling apart. Amy’s work allows them to award points to coworkers. For some reason, there’s a whole page of rewards items devoted to your crotch and butt. Apparently, the rewards selection is very, very random. Amy reviews Lena Dunham’s new book. Amy hates all the peeing on the show Girls. Spoiler Alert: Amy loves this book. Which leads us to Sex in the City. Also, Amy has an amazing Steve impersonation. They did Aiden dirty on SITC. The gals review the movie Project Hail Mary. Five out of five popcorn buckets…go see it! Amy watches Coachella at home. The Michael Jackson movie comes out. Maya loves the name Jermajesty. The ladies speculate about the new He-Man movie. Animal Report: Sharks test positive for Tylenol. Ummm…big whoop.

  • #255: Mega Tennis Report: Miami Open!!! or If We Had Girlfriends, We're Pretty Sure They’d Want to Shower With Us
    Apr 15 2026

    Maya and Amy open the show asking: Tiger Woods, why don’t you get a driver?!?!? On to the Miami Open. The ladies stay in a new place. Maya is naive about hotel stairwell treasures. Walking down a Florida street is always an adventure. The ladies buy the perfect amount of vacation groceries, and if you have ever been on vacation, you know how hard this is. Maya makes the best breakfast ever. The Miami Open DID NOT DISAPPOINT. Amy and Maya look for the good swag. No, they did not get the $100 hot dog. You are talking to hot dog purists. Don’t waste your Wagyu on a hot dog. The ladies have their amazing seats again next to the player’s box with coaches and family. Hailey Baptist is sitting a few seats away. First match: Jannik Sinner vs. Frances Tiafoe. Sinner’s forehands are the hardest a human can hit anything. Seeing Martina Navratilova causes Amy an injury. Coco Gauff wears a hat? Martina, Cocoa, Big Foe, and Sinner! The Uber home was a “premium experience” filled with war movie explosions, machine gun fire, and Werther’s Originals. The gals also get “back in the tank”. If you know, you know. The best product came from two nerds who don’t have girlfriends, but they’re pretty sure if they did, said girlfriends would want to shower with them. Amy and Maya have a great rooftop dinner starring an amazing Euro-trash DJ and a tiny, angry man. Best trip ever!

  • #254: Afroman Saves the First Amendment, Timberlake’s Cringe DWI Video & A Nuts Song from 1972
    Mar 25 2026

    This week on the pod, Producer Tyler’s clubhouse has been shut down by an internet malfunction. Amy takes her mom, Marsh, shopping for “coverup” and a new skin care routine. Shopping with Marsh is hilarious. Marsh wants to know Producer Tyler’s hobbies and what Maya’s favorite sub sandwiches are, apropos of nothing. The ladies discuss Afro Man’s First Amendment triumph. This first amendment trial is everything. You can’t make this stuff up. Watch the clips…you won’t be sorry. That’s the best tour of jury duty ever! Justin Timberlake’s DWI video comes out. Spoiler Alert: it’s so cringe. The Bachelorette is canned. Maya doesn’t think anyone needs to see the musical Chicago anymore. Maya thinks it’s weird that Sean Duffy was on The Real World and now he’s the Transportation Secretary of the United States. Maya feels bad for TSA. Amy doesn’t understand why they have to go to work and are not getting paid. Maya wonders why Joe Francis of Girls Gone Wild isn’t in jail. Amy informs her that he WAS in jail. Prince Andrew’s perp photo looks like you shone a flashlight on a possum at night. Prince Andrew’s Go-to Innocent Look is Terrified Night Possum. Maya makes Amy listen to a nuts song, “Things Get a Little Easier”. The ladies top it off with an Oscars recap. Sinners wins big!!!! Michael B. Jordan is a class act. We don’t deserve him.
