We love a good, cathartic cry as much as the next person, but when it comes to filming ourselves crying and posting it online for the world to see… we’re not sold. Sharing vulnerably is an important part of building a personal brand, but at some point, the vulnerability can become forced, and even manipulative at its worst. Look, we’d be lying if we said we’ve never filmed ourselves crying, but filming yourself doesn’t have to lead to making content out of it. On the other hand, you can’t please everyone. So if blowing snot bubbles on the internet is what excites you, who are we to judge?  Getting trapped in someone’s fart cloud [2:25]Crying online for attention [7:57]What are the underlying motives?

Ep. 643: Crying for Attention on the Internet

It’s been a rough week. Dolly Parton died, women are filming themselves confronting their cheating husbands, and Danny is attempting to masturbate. All that to say, we’re tired. Life in our mid-40’s looks like getting attached to our CAVA routines and going to bed by 8pm, so if everyone else could just do all the social effort for us and if men could just shut the fuck up forever, that would be great.  A celebrity death that hit different [4:52]We’re in our Misandry Era [7:00]The internet sensationalizes bad men [9:37]“You’re a great guy, but…” [13:44]The struggles are not equal [16:17]We’re tired now [19:15]Getting too comfortable at CAVA [24:38]Fridge cigs and Chobani creamers [28:16]A new 75 hard?

We’ve made a practice of not taking anything personally but maybe we should be taking things *more* personally. We came across a reel that got us thinking… if we’re all grown ups then surely we know what we’re doing when we hurt people, right? So when someone hurts us, maybe it is personal, and maybe that can give us the strength to walk away.  <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DbdYag5unRw/" rel="nofollow">Watch the reel we’re talking about.</a> Some new reviews (THANK YOU BESTIES!)

Maybe it’s the trauma of betrayal, the changing of our hormones, or just general exhaustion, but sex is off the menu. We’ve seen enough non-contextual dicks and had our hearts broken enough time to last a life time. Opening up again sounds like way too much effort, and frankly, so does the act of masturbating.

Ep. 640: Even Masturbating Takes Too Much Work

Life looks really different than how we once imagined it would, and we know we’re not alone in this. Maybe you never got to have the things you wanted, or maybe you got everything you thought you wanted, but things still feel empty. Whatever the situation or the circumstance, there’s a real grief surrounding it all. But there’s nothing wrong with that sadness, and when we learn to make peace with it, we can make the best of whatever comes next. That’s how we turn this shit-show into the Best Life.

Do we need to be sharing more about our buttholes in order to be successful online? This era of the internet is shaping out to be all about the personal brand, and one way we see people doing that is by sharing some really, really personal things about themselves (no exaggeration about that butthole thing). So if we need to share personal things to build our personal brands, at what point does the sharing become too much? Does the line exist at all? You already know everything about us, Bestie, but we’re not sure that the rest of the world is ready to hear some of the things we have to say. How much is too much to share?

Ep. 638: When Sharing Becomes Over-Sharing

In our younger years, being 40 years old seemed like the worst possible thing a person could be. Now we’re well into our 40’s and while we don’t feel ancient yet, we are starting to see the appeal of having a mid-life crisis. Life is short, but it’s long as hell at the very same time, so if we’re just getting to the half way point… what else is there to do out there?

We’ve been friends for 10 years now, so we’d like to think that we’re experts at friendship. It’s easy to maintain a friendship when you see each other often, but it’s taken real and deliberate effort to stay close emotionally even though we’re physically far apart.

There’s a lot of chatter about the male loneliness epidemic, but men aren’t the only ones who are lonely. Plenty of women are lonely, too, and lonely inside of their marriages and relationships. Women have been holding things down for a long time, and most of us are just tired and resentful now. For us, our saving grace is usually our friendships, but our male counterparts aren’t turning to friends the same way. What it comes down to is this: we all need varied relationships with lots of people, and the care it takes to build those relationships isn’t always easy. That goes for men and women.

There’s a lot of talk in certain pockets of the online space about “being in The Room” (whatever that means). In our experience, “The Room” is full of mean girls who only care about you as long as they can get something from you.

Back for the third time since his original introduction 7 years ago, today we’re talking to Mr. JillFit himself, Keith Lockwood. At the beginning of Jill’s and Keith’s relationship, neither one wanted to get married. We all know how that turned out. What changed? What caused the change of heart, for both Jill and Keith?

As AI gets more advanced, we’re seeing an influx of AI “influencers” and it’s getting hard to tell, y’all. And even when we know an account is AI, we still find ourselves comparing our looks and lives to the fake ones, and feeling shitty in the process. We know that “83 year old model” is fake, but she’s still #goals. Unfortunately, we still live in a society that conflates our worth with our looks, and the goal posts just keep moving father back as editing and fake content just keeps flooding our feeds. As much as we wish we could opt out of the beauty rat-race entirely, we find ourselves stuck in it time and time again. But hey, we’re at least trying to own it.

Some entrepreneurs would have you believe that the only way to be successful is by grinding 24/7. We’re not so sure. There’s certainly a time and place for working long hours, but if that’s all you ever do, it’s going to kick you in the ass at some point. A busy needs rest at some point, and is it even possible to be working at maximum efficiency every moment of every day?

Ep. 631: When Hustle Culture Becomes Too Much

Trolls are everywhere online. No one can escape them and everyone hates them, but what if trolls are only trolls because they hate themselves? We all know the old adage that hurt people hurt people, and internet bullies are no different. People can take all the pain and suffering they’ve been feeling and use it to fuel their hate comments. The algorithms prioritize and push that hate, and with the added bonus of being able to hide behind anonymous accounts, it’s never been easy to take out your internal pain on random internet strangers.

We’re pretty sensitive to cheating and the harm it causes a person (we’ll give you three guesses as to why) so we found ourselves wondering if are crushes ever okay while you’re still in a relationship? There’s no stopping the rush of feelings when it comes to having a crush, but we do have some say over our actions and every single one of us knows when too far becomes too far. Fantasizing may not be a red flag, but hiding and secrecy sure are.

Ep. 629: Having A Crush Outside Of Your Relationship

Knowing your partner’s sexual fantasies has the possibility to be really really hot, or really really off-putting. Fantasy can mean a lot of things to different people—some may want their fantasies to stay in their heads, and some may want to try them out—so if you and your lover aren’t aligned, shit can get tricky. Sex is vulnerable enough already, and if being honest about what gets you off brings you closer together, we’re all for that.

Trying to find love has been a shit show since… well, forever. We’re just getting better and better with age, but the dating scene, and let’s be honest, men in general, seem to be getting worse. Dating apps are dead, singles events make us feel like pigs being sold for slaughter, and meeting someone out in the wild is next to impossible. Even if you meet someone, the chance that they know what they want in a relationship, are emotionally mature, AND you find them attractive is rare, too. All that said, we’re still holding on to hope that the right person is out there. Cynicism feels safe, but we still believe in magic.

We would probably all agree that listening in on your partner’s therapy sessions or reading their journals is wrong, but what about reading their ChatGPT history? More and more people are working through issues in their personal lives using their AI chatbots as a journal-meets-therapist, and that might include relationship issues. And when someone inevitably finds some less than flattering information about themselves typed out to their partner’s own personal robot… shit gets sticky.

Are we old now? Because we can’t remember anything anymore. Maybe it’s because of our hormones, or maybe it’s early-onset dementia, or maybe (okay, almost definitely) it’s due to our algorithm-trained brains forgetting how to focus on anything for more than 1.7 seconds.

Nobody likes a girl who hates on other girls, especially for the benefit of men. Once upon a time, when we were younger, we would brag about how we “weren’t like other girls,” but now we know better. Our female friendships have saved us from our darkest moments, and we’d be honored to be exactly like other women. Femininity isn’t a weakness—it’s strength to find beauty and connection even in the darkest times. We don’t hate the “pick-me” girls out there, but we do feel kind of embarrassed for them.
