One of Us Was Diagnosed With FOSY It's rare for us to say we hate shopping, let's be honest, we're both splurging at Target at least once a week.

Now Hiring a House Sniffer! Ready or not, here come the holidays! Destiny is getting ready to host her family for Thanksgiving and is doing everything she can to get her house spotless, because she knows her family snoops.

In What's the 411? we're talking about Julia Fox taking one for the team and dating Kanye West for the short amount of time she did, all to distract him from harassing Kim Kardashian. While we wouldn't date each other's exes to get them off the others' back, we have definitely had moments we needed to step in between a relentless dude and our girlfriends!

What we're not ready for is the inevitable awkwardness that the Thanksgiving table can bring... What conversations are we dreading? What would we actually enjoy talking about? In What's the 411? we're inspired by the guy going viral for building a tomb to preserve a bag of Flamin' Hot Cheetos. If we wanted to leave items behind from our lifetime for the future generations to find, what would we choose?

In Loving Memory of Jen Kositzky It's with heavy hearts that we share our dear friend, Jen Kositzky has passed away after her battle with breast cancer. Jen is a member of the Z102.9 family, and we had the opportunity to hear about her cancer journey on this podcast last October. Her light, her attitude and her humor truly touched us in the short amount of time we got to connect with her. In honor of her, we are bringing back last year's episode with Jen.
