We have one more official weekend left of summer and we're going out with a BANG. The girls are getting hype for the upcoming Labor Day Weekend and are counting down the minutes until Friday. Lans and KB are sharing their big weekend recaps, and are deliberating on what vegetable they each embody… Stories include the birth of Jack Blues Bieber, Ben Affleck spotted with Kick Kennedy, and an update on the astronauts stuck in space.

The countdown to Labor Day is on, and we absolutely must slay everyday that we have left at the Jersey Shore until then. Our weekend recap was filled with shots and partying and dancing, and we are just waiting for Friday to return. We have a lot of fire stories including the current influencer drama happening in NYC, Doja Cat shooting her shot by sliding into the DMS and IT WORKED, Dakota Johnson's ROCK, and Charli XCX in all her glory in her Skims campaign.

Not only did we grow up having Hannah Montana encouraging us to strive for greatness, but she literally inspired the entire concept behind this podcast, which is why we could not be happier for the youngest Disney Legend herself, Miley Cyrus. Both Alanna and Katie had jam-packed weekends that started at What The Buck… and ended at the same sushi restaurant for dinner on Sunday, but with separate people.

Happy Friday! The question of the week - How old is too old for What the Buck at Shenanigans in Sea Isle? Alanna thinks the limit does not exist, and Katie thinks we have already hit said age. The girls are catching you up on updates to The Eras Tour cancellations in Vienna and everything surrounding Justin Baldoni and the It Ends With Us cast. We have a chaotic weekly report, as we have places to be! She may not like it, but Alanna is forcing Katie to attend WTB, and she WILL HAVE FUN.

Happy Wednesday! We hope everyone is on the right side of this debate because there is only one right answer. One of us has a weekend recap where the evening went 0 to 100 very quickly, and one of us has a weekend recap where we were on the verge of tears listening to our friends talk about their amazing evenings. Stories include Lady Gaga's engagement, an update on the Cyrus family drama, great big news for the Marvel community, and a very brief Olympic recap (we had to run as there was pasta waiting for us). 

Merry Christmas ya filthy listeners! The girls are celebrating this joyous holiday from Alanna's car due to unforeseen circumstances, yet they are bringing the Christmas cheer that you know and love.

The original combo is back! Alanna and Katie might not have too much to catch the group up on, but they are bringing the HEAT in the advice segment this week! Stories include Kate's appearance at Wimbledon, Donna Kelce's big break into show biz, and Lala Kent's baby shower guest list.

Have no fear! THE GIRLS ARE BACK, and we're joined by merely an extension of this podcast, Ariel Stell. We have so much to catch up on including, but not limited to, our party at the Whitebrier and everything that happened to Katie over July 4th weekend! She hit Kesha, Dom Dolla, worked out with Kylie Kelce and more, while Ariel daged in Margate and Alanna got pooped on by a bird. Stories this week: Pete Davidson Madelyn cline breakup, Gypsy rose is pregnant, and Joe Jonas announces solo album. Thank you to all submitted this week for our advice segment! 

The girls are back with special guest, founder and CEO of Beachkrew, Karlee Hart! Karlee is giving us the low down on how Beachkrew came to be and the inspiration behind the brand! We are learning all about what it's like to run her business from both Ocean City, NJ and Sullivan's Island, South Carolina, and how Karlee manages her business while also prioritizing her family and friends.

We're giving you the play by play of our Memorial Day weekends, and we'll be the first to tell you, it lived up to our expectations. The girls are also sharing their thoughts on the Kylie Kelce scandal, because we can't ignore the fact that she was just an absolute beast in our backyard. This weekend the girls are busy, but we are back to regularly scheduled programming next week.

The time is here. The moment we have all been waiting for… ITS MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND. Lans and Katie have been preparing and anxiously awaiting the best weekend of 2024, and they can't wait to hit the town and celebrate all weekend long.
