A podcast about caring too much. Hosted by Jen Ponton and Lillian Bustle.
A late-season cold snap brings Jen + Lillian right back to the archives of Jezebel's scary stories! We'll set your spinal stun gun to 'tingle' with tales of nefarious Germans, Amityville apparitions, and sinister Lake Superior. Who wants chili?
Follow your nose, wherever it goes! For Jen + Lillian, it's a walk down memory lane from their salad days at LUSH, a top-secret speakeasy perfume gallery, and the magic of Special Little Treats.
2025: What a time to be alive! Jen + Lillian reconvene after a thrilling off-Broadway production, melt into their couches and watch both good and terrible TV, and grapple with some hard shit.
Hey fuckbuddies! It's a little amuse bouche from your fab fat besties!

It's a new dawn, fuckbuddies--well, maybe? We'll see?

Grab your hand mirrors, dive into this episode, and get ready to find your clit!
There's nowhere to go but down when it comes to these delivery apps, Fuckbuddies. Join Jen + Lillian as they break out the Mortified card game, I Can't Believe I Did That, and spin tales of concealed weapons, prom dress flops, jazz hands, and psychotic teachers.
Wrap a flag around you and hop in the Seine, fuckbuddies--today, Jen + Lillian are discussing all things Olympics!

Take a deep breath with us: *Ahhhh.* Feel that, Fuckbuddies? That's the absence of 100*+ heat indexes slapping you in the face! Today, pop a cold one as Jen + Lillian safely discuss the perils of our hottest summers from the blissful purgatory of 81* and cloudy.
Fuckbuddies, what is 2024 Face and why is it everywhere? Why are we still wearing heels in hell? And is Pete Davidson truly likeable? (Answer: absofuckinglutely.) Join Jen + Lillian as we avoid The Thing That Happened and talk about literally anything else!

It's true--we're still back, baby! Today, Jen+ Lillian discuss the transformative EAT, PRAY, LOVE trips of their lives.

WELCOME TO SEASON SOMETHING! What season is it? We don't know! But we've been hugging your ears for 3+ years, and this is a glorious return from a long hiatus, so here we are. Jen + Lillian kick off this season with a boatload of feelings and hormones as we deep-dive into the works of Judy Blume--a woman who wrote your whole adolescence, but who is infinitely more amazing and radical than we ever knew. The incomparable Judy leads us down a path of our own puberties, sex ed, and so much more. (Also--the documentary JUDY BLUME FOREVER premieres on Prime 4/21/23!) --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/allthefucks/message
We can't let November begin without one more send-up to spOoOoOky Halloween!

Are you ready for another spOoOoOky Halloween with Jen + Lillian, fuckbuddies?

After an impossibly frought and endless sojourn in the Midwest, Jen finally rejoins Lillian in the land of the ̶f̶r̶e̶e̶ pizza--New Friggin' Jersey. Listen to a tale of an unbelivable move that gets more and more bonkers as we go! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/allthefucks/message
Yes we know it's been 5 weeks, but have you seen planet Earth recently? THIS PLACE IS BONKERS.

But there is a silver lining... and it tastes like Jamba Juice. -- Want more information on fake clinics? Click here! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/allthefucks/message
Here it is, your first brand new episode from Jen + Lillian! There's no theme today, fuckbuddies--just two best friends who haven't done a full "I can't even" download for seven whole months.

In a final unaired episode, Jen + Lillian explore their journals from their first intrepid days in the world as Grown-Ups (read: freshly 23, and brand-new in New York City with a BA in Theatre Arts).

Get ready for tales of questionable student films, early days of Ani DiFranco, and all the multi-level ̶c̶u̶l̶t̶s̶ marketing you can handle! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/allthefucks/message
What smells like Sun-Ripened Raspberry? In this unaired episode, Jen + Lillian return to their hometown malls of yore: neon-laced atriums with Corndogs on a Stick, Suncoast Video--and a Wet Seal, if you were really lucky.

Jen + Lillian are BACK, Fuckbuddies! And to kick off a brand new season (?), we present to you Jen's favorite format: My Best Friend's Best Friend.

OKAY SO WE KNOW THIS IS WEIRD. We know it's been 196 days since we checked in, said hello, kept you company in the car-shower-kitchen-dark. Lots of you are asking: is All the Fucks over? Nay, fuckbuddies--WE ARE BACK! We're here, we're queer, we're taking our meds and trying our best!

What's that, fuckbuddies? The world is one giant FOX Christmas tree on fire? Let Jen + Lillian distract you with a great big Dollop of Christmasy proportions--1986's BABES IN TOYLAND, starring an eerily on-the-brink Drew Barrymore and Keanu Reeves in his most adorable role of all time! And if you haven't seen this epic, traumatizing gem, don't wait one more moment--it's on Prime right now. You're welcome. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/allthefucks/message
Fuckbuddies, we know--it's shaping up to look like another superspreader Christmas. Whether you are hunkering down, testing positive, or avoiding a long-awaited flight, Jen + Lillian are here to bring you a little bit of comfort and warmth, and a reminder that not absolutely everything this year was horrid. As we remember our high points of 2021, we encourage you to take inventory of the blessings that may have befallen you this year. Stay safe, be well, and happy holidays, everyone! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/allthefucks/message
LOLOL. Well fuckbuddies, what more do you expect from our second Christmas in quarantine?! A journey down Kris Kringle lane gets interrupted by a tech snafu, and Jen cobbles together something for your virtual stockings from the peaceful oasis of Newark Liberty Airport. Ho Ho Ho! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/allthefucks/message
Welcome back, fuckbuddies! Ever mock up a hall pass or fake a headache to get out of dodgeball? Today, Jen + Lillian reflect on those seemingly innocuous childhood tendencies that, frankly... should have warranted a bit more adult intervention. With our collective goldfish memories, social withdrawal and chronic IBS, the kids are not, in fact, all right. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/allthefucks/message
Fuckbuddies, Tom Turkey brought us all a glorious Thanksgivukkah gift: he brought together bestest sisters-from-another-mister BFFs, Lillian and her other half, Shanna Bowman. Lillian and Shanna go way back, and Jen couldn't pass up the opportunity to do our first episode of MBFBF--a microseries where we share stories with one of our oldest, nearest, and dearest friends. Listen for pure glee, including stories of renaissance faires, feral wolves, and KMart hijinx! (And little-known Muppet holiday specials.) --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/allthefucks/message
Hi friends! A special note from Lillian. Jen and I have some big smushy content for you, but we also want to acknowledge that for many indigenous people, what we call Thanksgiving is a day of mourning. If this is on your heart today, I'd like to tell you about my friend Sky. They're Mikmaq and identify as Two Spirit (a term used by indigenous folks who reject Western gender binaries) transgender, and they're an incredible artist and lovely soul, they live with chronic pain, and they were displaced from their home along with their partner Ian. For over a year, these two talented, unique, artistic queer folks have been living a nomadic life that's been very difficult to sustain, and only have a safe place to stay until December. If you've ever wondered how you could directly help someone indigenous who's been screwed over by our system, here's your chance. I hope you'll look them up at https://www.patreon.com/agentskyhouse or help them out directly at cashapp: $agentskyhouse Venmo: their partner Ian at @encryptedritual From Sky's Patreon update: "Losing another home as it collapses into healing or oppression, not safe to stick around and see how it turns out, & I'm too much of a compassionate cutie to let windigo suck me into a stress spiral. Sub, tip, share, gift. Support this Mi'kmaq 2Spirit in their puoinaq'jij work of freeing all relations from oppression (and in turn, support their partner of 13 years, and their 3 senior animals). " Miss you, Sky and Ian. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/allthefucks/message
Jen + Lillian brought snacks and sleeping bags! It's just us today, and wow, has it been a long time since we just sat together and talked. Today, we revisit poking at our socio-economic upbringings--our privileges and pitfalls, both real and perceived. We talk moms making magic, toys we cherished, and the things we could never have. We also wax rhapsodic about all the TV we haven't talked about, as well as the most important YouTube video that's ever existed. (Also, happy birthday Dreading the Boards! Are you listening yet? It's SO GOOD!) --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/allthefucks/message
Jen + Lillian are back with a friend! Meet storyteller, dirty talker, and dildo slinger Dirty Lola--host of NYC's live show SEX ED A GO GO! Lola is a proud sex edu-tainer, making sex ed fun and empowering. Lola tells us all about growing up in the South, '90s diet culture, being out and brilliantly queer as a NYC teen, and dabbling in Twitter After Dark. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/allthefucks/message
Upper East Side paparazzi! Covens of Stepford children! Strange moneypit museums! The Shah of Iran! This one has everything, it's weird, it's complicated. Jen + Lillian haven't even really scratched the surface. But today, we try to give you a nuanced look at the way we perceive class and privilege as children; the imaginary trappings that felt SO important, and the mundane structures that were nowhere to be found. Also, we talk Serious Influencing Business about some of the best (and most ridiculous) underwear on the market. It's a whole journey!!! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/allthefucks/message
It's spOoOoOoky Halloween! Jen + Lillian prepare for a weekend of candy and frights, sharing some of their best horrific recommendations and diving into the Jezebel Halloween archives once more. Don't forget your night light! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/allthefucks/message
Crawl into our blanket fort, and don't forget your flashlight--because tonight, Jen + Lillian are telling you some truly mortifying tales from all across New York! From questionable theatre in the village to a city slicker dude ranch in New Paltz, we share some particularly cringe-worthy diary entries (before the lights go out and we tell you ghost stories!). But the scariest one of all? Why, a house full of Gary Busey, of course. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/allthefucks/message
It's October! And you know what that means—putting off dentist visits, perpetually remembering and then forgetting that you hate candy corn, and listening to Jen + Lillian tell you stories that rob you of your precious sleep. This week, we spin you a tale of the skinwalkers of Virginia, ne'erdowell maintenance men, and just how brainwashy LuLaRoe had to be to convince anyone that those dresses were cute. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/allthefucks/message
It's October, and you know what that means, fuckbuddies--time to get spoOoOoOky with Jen + Lillian!

Today, we're going to tell you about—hey wait, did you see this true crime special? What about this epic cult takedown? Surely you must have seen the multi-level marketing miniseries?! Jen + Lillian get sidelined by so much good television and strange cinema it will make your head spin, along with the return of Broadway, champion ferrets, and the unfortunate intimacy of a dog sneeze. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/allthefucks/message
Jen + Lillian are all in their feelings today, so we're taking you back to the Pink Hotel for some more adventures with Weetzie Bat. But before we do, we explore the insidiousness of sex cults, tinkling when you sneeze, and—can we just talk about the missed opportunity that is LULA RUH-ROH? --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/allthefucks/message
Let Jen + Lillian take you behind the velvet curtain today for a backstage pass to some of our cringiest theatre memories!

Jen + Lillian whisk you back to pink smoggy Los Angeles to continue Francesca Lia Block's NECKLACE OF KISSES. But before we do, can we just talk about horror comedy and why it is the perfect genre? Unrelated, currently seeking looms in gently used condition. Inquire within! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/allthefucks/message
