Pillow Fort - Episode 49 - State Identifications & Being a Loud Person - Season Finale
Pillow Fort - Episode 49 - State Identifications & Being a Loud Person - Season FinaleIn the Season 4 finale of Pillow Fort with Roo and Aimee, Roo and Aimee look back on a wild year of podcasting, pets, burps, cruises, and chaos. They kick things off by talking about how to stay motivated and organized when your life keeps filling up with more people, responsibilities, and animals.Since Aimee's burp video became their most-watched clip, she delivers one final season-ending burp fly for the fans. The duo also discusses plans for next season, including who will be handling what behind the scenes, because podcast editing may be fun, but it's definitely still work.They reminisce about some of Season 4's biggest moments, including the dinner cruise, Aimee's legendary burp, Roo's big fall, and the ongoing saga of Roo's animals making life more difficult than it needs to be. Roo shares the story of her dog eating important papers, while Aimee vents about the increasingly frustrating experience of dealing with the DMV and people blasting their phones at full volume in public.The conversation gets even sillier as they examine Roo's new ID photo, which somehow makes her look like an angry kindergartner on picture day. They wrap up the season by talking about Roo being told to quiet down in a coffee shop, leading to a discussion about volume control—or Roo's complete lack of it. Aimee lovingly points out that Roo was also extremely loud during their shared-seating dinner cruise experience, though Aimee appreciates it because she usually can't hear anything anyway.It's a heartfelt, hilarious, and wonderfully chaotic sendoff to Season 4 of Pillow Fort with Roo and Aimee.Credits: Artwork - Kicking ConesMusic - Gimme That Jazz by Music for PlantsFlorida Comedy Collective: https://www.floridacomedycollective.com/Florida Comedy Collective (FCC) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting and supporting comedic arts in Florida.

Pillow Fort - Episode 48 - Falling in Public & Kids Attending Adult Live Entertainment
In this episode of Pillow Fort with Roo and Aimee, the girls kick things off with a special guest appearance from Roo's cat, Scampi, who wastes no time stealing the spotlight. Then they dive into a voicemail from the Fort's number one Pillow Princess, Bobby Wesley, which sparks an important discussion: what do you do when you fall in public?Everyone has their own strategy. Do you spring back up and pretend nothing happened? Stay face-down for a moment while you reevaluate your life choices? Immediately scan the crowd to see who witnessed your humiliation? Roo and Aimee break down the many ways people handle an unexpected wipeout and invite listeners to call the Fort and share their own falling philosophies.Aimee recounts her most memorable public fall outside Orlando's Bar-B-Q Bar while dressed head-to-toe in office club attire, blazer included. Roo follows with a story from an improv practice where she fully committed to playing a soccer ball in a scene, resulting in a dramatic fall directly onto her head—just days after suffering a concussion. While Roo was mortified, Aimee was mostly impressed by her dedication to the craft.Later, Roo shares her experience at Orlando Fringe, including attending an adults-only themed show that somehow had a single child sitting in the audience. This leads the duo into a conversation about kids, language, adult themes, and the ever-changing question of when children should be exposed to certain words and ideas.As always, it's a cozy mix of embarrassing stories, questionable decisions, and conversations you can only have inside the Pillow Fort.Credits: Artwork - Kicking ConesMusic - Gimme That Jazz by Music for Plants

Behold! Our grossest episode yet! Roo and Aimee invoked the energy of 12 year old boys by talking about their bodily functions and societal rules around burping and flatulence.

Pillow Fort - Episode 45 - Love is Blind & Day-to-Night Looks
In this episode of Pillow Fort with Roo and Aimee, the duo gets real about reality tv. Aimee can not believe the douch-bagery of the dudes in this season of Love is Blind. While the women are doctors, homeowners, and drop dead gorgeous, the dudes are liars and weirdos with dirty beards. It’s a damn mess. Roo discussed the importance of learning how to have a day-to-night wardrobe. There is an art to staying comfy and cute for 15 hours.This episode is equal parts rant, real talk, and cozy relatable life tips, just the way you like it.Florida Comedy Collective: https://www.floridacomedycollective.com/ Florida Comedy Collective (FCC) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting and supporting comedic arts in Florida.

Pillow Fort - Episode 44 - Rich People Sports & Being Deaf
Roo and Aimee start with some insider baseball on what their editing process is. Spoiler alert: it's chaotic. Roo complains about rich people sports always trying to kill you but it's really just her talking about how she cannot ski at all. Aimee tells us that she's deaf in one ear. Roo thinks that Aimee was alive during Scarlet Fever outbreaks and that's why she lost her hearing. She actually lost her hearing because she's a cool lady.

Pillow Fort - Episode 43 - Male Parking Emotions & Twitter Noise
In this episode Roo and Aimee dive into the surprisingly intense emotions that some men have about parking. Parallel parking, backing into spaces, judging other people’s parking jobs — somehow it’s all tied to masculinity. Roo and Aimee attempt to unpack why a slightly crooked parking job can trigger a full internal crisis for certain guys. Is it pride? Is it territorial instinct? Is it just dads everywhere whispering “you can do better than that”?Roo also shares a recent moment of confusion when she thought she heard the iconic Twitter notification sound… only to realize it was actually a bird outside her house. The real twist? The podcast now has 20 followers, so honestly it could have gone either way. Roo is choosing to believe the bird might have been a fan.Meanwhile, Roo continues her ongoing battle with a broken closet door that refuses to stay upright. Despite knowing it’s unstable, she keeps accidentally knocking it over with her butt while walking by. At this point the door is less a piece of furniture and more a recurring character in her daily life.Intro and outro music titled Gimme That Jazz by Music for Plants.Original Art by Kicking Cones.

Pillow Fort - Episode 42 - Moroccan Spa Trip & Tropical Fruit
This week in the fort Roo recounts her recent visit to a Moroccan spa where she was scrubbed from head to toe by a lady without being able to communicate much because of a language barrier. Roo is still unsure what the proper etiquette is when someone you just met is aggressively exfoliating you and gently cradling you at the same time.Meanwhile, Aimee shares her long-standing issue with tropical fruit. Mango, papaya, guava — her mouth simply does not understand what is happening. She insists it’s not a personality flaw, but a legitimate sensory problem where her brain cannot decide if the fruit is delicious, suspicious, or actively trying to confuse her. Roo argues that this is a psychological and cultural issue, while Aimee maintains that tropical fruit simply has “too many vibes.”Bob Voyage: https://www.bobvoyagetravel.com/Ever wanted to go on a Virgin Voyage but you want a little guidance?

Pillow Fort - Episode 41 - Dog Walk Fall and Well Meaning Whites
Welcome back to the fort! In this episode Roo and Aimee discuss the dangers of doing something as simple as walking the dog. Roo shares the harrowing tale of a recent fall that resulted in spilled coffee, wounded pride, and a body that is apparently no longer built for sudden contact with the pavement. She insists she’s fine but also may never emotionally recover from losing the coffee.Meanwhile, Aimee grapples with a very modern dilemma: wanting to talk about the Bad Bunny halftime show with her non-white friends but also not wanting to be the well-meaning white lady who turns someone’s group chat into a cultural anthropology discussion. She debates whether asking thoughtful questions is allyship or just deeply awkward.Bob Voyage: https://www.bobvoyagetravel.com/Ever wanted to go on a Virgin Voyage but you want a little guidance?

Pillow Fort - Episode 40 - Fake History Movies & Vaping
We are back with a new episode of Pillow Fort! In this episode Roo and Aimee talk about movies that revise history like when Quentin Tarantino pretends that WWII and the Manson Murders happened completely differently. Aimee mentions that she's confused as to why vampires were not in Daniel Day Lewis's Abraham Lincoln movie. Aimee shared gripes about vaping and Roo feels strongly about it. Sure, this part of the episode fails the Bechdel test but it's OUR LIFE. Roo is also hypocritical because she is always fiending for a cigarette. Aimee thinks Winston's smell like farts.

Pillow Fort - Episode 38 - Sushi and Kids Not Wanting to Trick-or-Treat with Their Parents Anymore
This week in the fort, tensions run high when Aimee and Roo kick things off arguing about drinking the night before—but harmony is quickly restored once Roo reveals her freshly straightened, impossibly shiny hair. (She’s found the magic of the flat iron.) Mid-episode, Roo’s boyfriend delivers an actual sushi boat, leading the duo into a deep dive on the miracle and menace of sushi: one bite is bliss, the next could be regret.Meanwhile, Aimee gets a little emotional—it’s the first year her kid didn’t want to trick-or-treat with her. Roo and Aimee reminisce about the highs and horrors of their own childhood Halloweens, from the best candy hauls to the worst costume disasters.It’s funny, heartfelt, and just a little raw—don’t miss this one, especially since it’s the second-to-last episode of the season!

Pillow Fort - Episode 37 - Rotten Bananas & Missing Out on Chili’s
This week in the fort, Roo confesses she's feeling guilty for not making enough art lately, but Aimee pushes back and reminds her that she’s constantly creating — and that millions of people have seen her work and she creates unhinged and hilarious shows, like a banana themed serial killer monkey stand-up show recently at Twelve Talons in Oralndo. They both come to the realization that the things that tend to perform well online rarely feature their faces, but maybe that’s a sign they shouldn’t be creating for the algorithm in the first place.Aimee also reveals that her sexual brand might just be jazz hands, and shares her thoughts on the delicate art of banana ownership — that strange in-between space where you wait for bananas to ripen for banana bread, but try not to forget they exist entirely. It all leads to a conversation about how we often buy fruit for the person we want to be, not the person we actually are, and how small things like this are worth talking about.Roo reflects on growing up eating almost exclusively at Indian restaurants, and how places like Miller’s Ale House and Chili’s still feel like a novelty — a reminder that sometimes, the most ordinary things can feel like a treat.

Pillow Fort - Episode 36 - Communicating About Cast Irons & Fighting About Dishes
This week in the fort, Roo wakes up sore and confused, and Aimee warmly welcomes her to her 30s—where pain just comes with the territory. They reflect on the strange, sneaky ways aging shows up, and how the youth of today are out here saying things like “babes” and “no… stop… wait” with complete sincerity.Roo reluctantly watched the movie Substance and gives a full-body cringe recap that’s heavy on things crawling under the skin. Despite the pain (and the trauma), she still wants to be a star student in her exercise class. Gold stars forever.They also chat about Roo’s recently shared school photo, featuring a very cute and very angry little Roo. Her mom told her not to show her teeth when she smiled, which leads to a conversation about how hard it can be to teach kids things—and how they don’t always want to learn. That said, Aimee refuses to let that justify toothless smiling advice.There’s also some good-natured commentary on Philippe, Roo’s cat and “only son,” who may or may not be a little too round. The two talk about what it’s like to spend time with people who had peaceful childhoods and how that energy be… boring.Finally, Roo shares a moment with her cleaning lady about the sacred cast iron skillet (and why it absolutely cannot go in the dishwasher), and Aimee makes a compelling point: everyone, everywhere, fights about dishes. It’s just what we do.Another honest, funny, and thoughtful episode from your favorite spot in the fort.

Pillow Fort - Episode 35 - Party Planning & Overnight Oats
This week in the fort, Roo talks about oversleeping thanks to lingering jet lag, while Aimee shares her frustration over becoming a morning person and actually enjoying it. Roo gently reminds her that she saw this coming, and Aimee admits she doesn’t say “I told you so” nearly as often as she could.Roo also shares her experience attending a beautiful Indian wedding full of pink details, while Aimee dives into the world of party planning. Known by some as the “Party Dictator,” Aimee reflects on how being the one in charge can make it hard to have fun and how she’s still figuring out how to be a more relaxed host. Roo agrees that sometimes planning needs to be taken seriously, and both love a good theme.Later, the conversation shifts to breakfast. Roo has been enjoying overnight oats and makes her case for their cold, creamy goodness. Aimee disagrees completely. She’s not a fan of oats, yogurt, or sweet breakfasts in general. Her ideal breakfast is hearty, savory, and definitely not pretending to be dessert.Another cozy conversation, full of honest thoughts and shared laughs, from inside the fort.

Pillow Fort - Episode 34 - The Apple Store & Sliding Barn Doors in Hotel Rooms
This week in the fort, Aimee is shocked to discover that Roo knows absolutely nothing about 80s hair bands. How did this happen?! Meanwhile, Aimee shares her recent trip to the Apple Store—where she spotted a woman casually eating an actual apple. In the Apple Store. Which, of course, sent her spiraling into the question: are we all living in a simulation? Because who eats an apple around electronics?!Roo also dives into one of her biggest travel pet peeves: hotels with frosted glass barn doors instead of real bathroom doors. She’s calling for change—and for a return to proper privacy. No more see-through panels, no more sinks-in-the-room setups. Just doors that close. Please.It’s a funny, relatable, and totally entertaining episode filled with classic Roo and Aimee observations about modern life’s little absurdities.

Pillow Fort - Episode 33 - Designer Bags & Parenting
In this week’s episode of Pillow Fort, Roo kicks things off with a painful update from her new run club adventure—hello shin splints! Aimee chimes in with sage advice about the importance of taking care of your feet, especially as you get older. From there, the convo takes a nostalgic turn as Aimee reflects on her high school cross country days, her party-girl era, and why she kinda wishes she’d skipped that scene—until Roo makes a strong case for living a little.Then it’s onto the world of designer bags and classism, where the ladies unpack (pun intended) the drama behind scoring an Hermès bag and what luxury goods say about social status.Finally, Aimee brings the heart with a real-talk segment on parenting, the struggle to not be a people pleaser, and how giving your kid everything might backfire. The duo even brainstorms a “parenting escape room” to help kids understand the emotional labor their parents shield them from—because trauma builds character, right?Tune in for laughs, nostalgia, luxury bag tea, and a dash of parental existentialism.

Pillow Fort - Episode 32 - Brunch & House Rearranging
This week inside the cozy chaos of the Pillow Fort, Aimee comes out swinging with a bold confession: she's officially notcool with brunch. As a sober person, she's realized that brunch was really just a socially acceptable excuse to get wasted before 11 AM. She dives into the history of brunch, how it morphed into overpriced, sticky, chaotic events—and don’t get her started on those rickety outdoor tables and unforgiving stools.Roo joins the brunch discourse with her own hot takes, ranking the various tiers of brunch and happy hour. She makes the case for the “elevated brunch experience” while breaking down which brunches are actually worth your time (and money).Then the duo tears into the Cracker Barrel rebrand scandal—a grey-washed, price-hiked attempt to attract millennials that's left their original campy audience scratching their heads.In the second half, Roo vents about her constant urge to rearrange her house and the curse of the open floor plan. Aimee agrees wholeheartedly, declaring open layouts “a crime against women.” Together, they explore organizational ideas and the never-ending war between wanting change and not wanting to redo everything.Grab a throw blanket and settle in—this episode is part brunch roast, part home therapy, and all vibes.

Pillow Fort - Episode 31 - Addictive Algorithms & Itinerary Friends
This week on Pillow Fort, Roo’s house smells suspiciously like pee (again), and she’s spiraling. Meanwhile, Aimee’s social media algorithms won’t stop diagnosing her with Avoidant Attachment Disorder. It’s fine. Everything is fine.Roo and Aimee dive into the chaos of being just a little too online—from algorithm-induced therapy fatigue to the case for simply touching grass. Roo suggests less self-awareness, more outside time. Aimee misses reading books and walking places without checking five apps first.Also: why do some friends insist on turning every vacation into a boot camp? Roo goes off about "Itinerary Friends"—the ones who plan hikes, swims, and 7 a.m. excursions when all you want is a cocktail and a nap. She loves and appreciates them, but really doesn’t want to have to do work and relax at the same time. Aimee’s solution? Get older. Old friends like to just sit, eat, and drink on vacation for the most part. Tune in for a little therapy shade, algorithm anxiety, and your favorite kind of hot takes: the cozy honest ones.

Pillow Fort - Episode 30 - Being Sick While Married & Happy Hour
Episode 30 is sick and boozy in all the right ways. Roo opens with the story of her two cats turning on her poor dog in a feline coup, while Aimee recounts her personal hell week: sick, on her period, off Adderall, off caffeine, and fully in need of being babied. She warned her family she wasn’t going to be great, but did they baby her? Of course not. Men never do. Roo’s advice? Suck it up, complain louder, and maybe throw a fit every six months (Aimee says quarterly is more fair). Women deserve to lose it more than every once in a while.From there, things get spicier. Aimee confesses to snapping the thongs on Victoria’s Secret mannequins (much to her teenager’s horror), only for Roo to call her out as no better than a man. That leads to a truly cursed tale of a massage school student who snapped Aimee’s thong mid-session—solidifying that massage parlors are almost always up to something.Finally, Roo brings us to safer ground: Happy Hour. Should it really be only an hour? She thinks not. They discuss their favorite happy hours: Antigua’s infamous 3-for-1s that left Aimee wasted by 6 p.m., and Roo’s beloved $14 pizza-and-a-bottle-of-wine deal. Also, late night happy hour with food deserves its own movement. Shout out to Santiago’s in Orlando,It’s complaints, cocktails, and losing it, Pillow Fort style. Listen… or they’ll snap your thong too!

Pillow Fort - Episode 29 - Airplane Water & Rating the Worst Airports
Season 3 is in full flight, and the fort is already buzzing with hot takes (and lukewarm airplane coffee). Roo and Aimee kick things off with travel talk, should you really order tea or coffee mid-flight? Journalists have done the investigative heavy lifting, but Roo insists she’d still risk a drink cart brew. Meanwhile, Aimee spills an industry secret: sometimes that “caffeinated” coffee is actually 100% decaf.The duo also reveal their most hated U.S. airports, no terminal is safe. In between travel gripes, Roo gives us a quick Ordu language lesson and shares stories from a Daytona standup show where she opened the night (and the challenges of going first). Aimee admits she sometimes likes opening sets because there’s less pressure. Together, they dive into the highs and headaches of running standup comedy rooms, from hosting to booking.And yes, Floridian dickies make an appearance. It’s a mix of comedy, chaos, and caffeine conspiracies.

Pillow Fort - Episode 28 - Buying Indian Clothing & Savory Novelty Alcohol Drinks
The fort is back open for business! In this season opener, Aimee admits podcasting is her passion—even if she sometimes forgets to plug in her mic. Both Roo and Aimee agreed to tackle an ungodly early recording time, which sparks Aimee’s rant about society’s obsession with moral superiority just for being a morning person. (She even made a whole PowerPoint about it at a comedy show—and now she’s dreaming up a one-woman horror-comedy musical in the style of Little Shop of Horrors. Spoiler: waking up early is physically painful.)Roo also shares the struggle of trying to find formal Indian wedding attire in Orlando, and the two dive into the world of savory novelty alcohol: Bloody Marys pushed to their limits (at what point is it just soup with booze?), morning cocktails, Clamato Beer-ritas (Roo’s a fan, Aimee taps out), and the divisive michelada.It’s thoughtful, funny, and slightly tomato-based—the perfect way to kick off Season 3 of Pillow Fort with Roo & Aimee.

Pillow Fort - Episode 27 - Season 2 - Re-Cap - Scars & Cycling Class Tea - Instagram Live
Season 2 is officially wrapped, Pillow Princesses! Aimee and Roo are closing out the season with an Instagram live session, and it’s packed with laughs, deep talks, and some wild personal stories. Big thanks to Bobby Wesley and Nifer Sims for tuning in!This episode is all about those scars that tell a story — from Roo’s face scar (thanks, gravel playground) to Aimee’s knee scar from a very memorable drunken gondola experience in Italy. Aimee also gets real about her c-section scar and the struggle with an unplanned surgery that left her feeling like she didn’t “get to fully birth.” Roo, of course, says it’s still considered birth, but Aimee isn’t so sure.Meanwhile, the vibes are changing when Aimee realizes that Roo tooted during their co-working session at Aimee’s house — we’ve all been there, right? And it wouldn’t be a proper episode without a little love for spin class. Roo shares her passion for cycling with all the lights, music, and, of course, a spin instructor who’s a bit too open about her personal life (and shoutouts to 50 Cent).Catch all the tea, the laughs, and the honest moments in this season finale of Pillow Fort! 🛋️🎉

Pillow Fort - Episode 26 - Outside Pizza & Ice Cream Cones - Season 2 Finale
Happy Season 2 Finale, Pillow Princesses! 🎉 Roo and Aimee wrap up the season with cozy delight, starting by discussing the wildness of the latest episode of White Lotus. Holy moly! Roo calls out Aimee for saying she can't handle too much weirdness in shows, yet she still watches White Lotus. Aimee agrees but defends herself, explaining that it's the weekly chatter in the zeitgeist that really hooks her. It makes her feel young again, just like when she’d head to school after a juicy 90210 episode—though this reference is a bit lost on Roo, who’s too young to get it.The duo then dives into how friends and family have commented on the fort—claiming it’s actually a little sexy. (Not a sexy podcast, though!) Roo shares her struggles with microwaving foods that have various heating speeds, resulting in a somewhat painful experience when she burned her esophagus with a lava-like pocket of mashed potatoes.Next, Roo tells a hilarious story about ordering pizza, falling asleep, and waking up to realize the pizza never arrived. However, the pizza showed up at her doorstep the next day, likely delivered by neighbors who may or may not have some beef with her. This leads to the Question of the Day: How long can pizza stay out safely? Roo thinks if it’s a Pizza of the Night, it’s fine to stay out. But if it’s a Pizza of the Day, it needs to be put away. Aimee then brings up her love of ice cream cones, saying she enjoys having them at home as a treat. She loves when the holder of the food is edible, like an ice cream cone, a burrito, or a sandwich. Roo, however, disagrees, saying she dislikes ice cream because it hurts her tummy and melts too fast on the cone.Aimee shares that she used to have a theory that you couldn’t be mad while eating an ice cream cone—but after hearing Roo’s side of things and remembering the series of photos of Kanye West angrily eating one, her theory has officially been debunked.And that’s a wrap on Season 2!

Pillow Fort - Episode 24 - Getting Pulled Over & Tall Privilege
This week in the fort Aimee and Roo tackle the big issues, like why Florida used to have more lizards, how to get out of a ticket, and the ongoing war between tall and short people.This week’s episode, Getting Pulled Over & Tall Privilege, has it all: Roo’s close call with the law, Aimee’s foolproof strategy of crying her way out of trouble, and a heated debate about height discrimination. Roo thinks short people are fair game for jokes, but Aimee is mad as hell about it. She’s 5’2” and tired of being patted on the head, struggling to see the top of the fridge, and gaining visible weight instantly. Meanwhile, she fully admits to abusing her short privilege when it comes to fitting into airplane seats and only dating people over 6 feet tall. (Yes, she knows that’s hypocritical.)Make sure to email any feedback, comments, or thoughts to [email protected] and follow all socials at: @pillowfortpod @uroosastfu @aimeelecours_lols

Pillow Fort - Episode 23 - Peeing at Night & Theme Parks
In this episode things get wet and wild! Roo has a new child—a puppy named Maverick! He has heterochromia (one blue eye, one brown eye) and is already changing her life, for better or worse. Meanwhile, Roo’s cat, Philippe, is busy plotting how to train the dog and impressively pooping outside. Unfortunately, Maverick also wants to eat the cat poop, which is a real problem.Aimee and Roo discuss yogurt (or, more accurately, Aimee’s continued fight against the yogurt industry). Roo tries to convince Aimee that cookie dough yogurt is legit, but Aimee remains firm—especially since her daughter has only been eating the cookie dough chunks and not the yogurt.Roo is also dealing with a new struggle: Pilates-induced hydration madness. She’s drinking more water, which means she has to pee constantly. Aimee suggests using a bladder bag like David Sedaris, but Roo refuses to be that person. They debate the unfairness of being both thirsty and having to pee at the same time. Roo hates that she has to put in extra work just to keep her pee in, and she absolutely will not be doing kegels. Also, peeing in the ocean? We all do it, but no one is happy about it.Aimee shifts gears to praise Old Florida beach people as a fun comedy audience, but the good vibes don’t last long—because she immediately starts dragging Orlando theme parks. She refuses to accept the lie that they are the “Happiest Place on Earth” when they are so expensive. Her solution? Go to real Europe instead of paying Epcot prices for fake Europe. Kids hate standing in line, families are miserable, and no one even remembers the trip.Roo, meanwhile, hates rides. She refuses to pay money just to get sick and throw up.. Aimee escalates things by calling out Disney Adults—which, turns out, is risky business. The plot twist? Aimee was raised by a Disney Adult. The episode takes a sharp turn into Aimee’s deep-seated childhood hang-ups about moving from Indiana to Florida after a Disney trip at age 6, while Roo goes off on snowbirds and Disney Adults for making Florida crowded and ruining everything (including the oranges). They both agree on one thing: Make America Orange Again!Make sure to email any feedback, comments, or thoughts to [email protected] and follow all socials at: @pillowfortpod @uroosastfu @aimeelecours_lols

Pillow Fort - Episode 22 - Losing Your Phone & Being Too Nice
Aimee just cannot understand how Roo free-boobs it so much. The no-bra, sweatshirt life is simply too hot for her to handle. This naturally leads to a discussion on the struggles of bra shopping and finding something that actually fits.Roo recaps her cruise—specifically, all the endless food and restaurants on board. This inspires Aimee’s grand idea: all of society should be run like a cruise line. You pay a fee, and you get food, a place to sleep, and medical care. Roo, however, immediately pokes holes in the plan. The reason cruises work? No kids. The second you add kids into the mix, the whole party—and society itself—falls apart.Speaking of cruise chaos, Roo lost her phone in the Bahamas, and her location is still pinging from there. Aimee is convinced this means real Roo never actually returned, and she’s now talking to alternate reality Roo. But Roo reassures her—she’s free-boobing, so it must be the real her.Roo also talks about the nightmare of losing a phone while traveling, dealing with multi-factor authentication when you don’t have a device, and the frustration of banks flagging or closing accounts when you’re out of town. This reminds Aimee of when she used to drink a lot and would lose her phone on a monthly basis.Aimee lets Roo know that she missed her while she was gone, but Roo clams up—because she physically cannot accept love. Which leads perfectly into Aimee’s topic: Being Too Nice to People. Aimee has always defaulted to being nice, but people constantly mistake it for romantic interest. She just wants to be kind! But in stand-up comedy—especially in Florida—niceness is often seen as a weakness. She struggles to find a middle ground between being genuinely herself and not getting taken advantage of.Roo solves the mystery of why men always think you’re hitting on them if you’re nice: because no one is nice to men.Generations of men were raised by men who were mean to them. Women, at least, are socialized to be somewhat nice to each other, but men are taught to be tough and detached.This leads to a deep dive into how people react to kindness. If Aimee is too nice, people shut down. If Roo receives a compliment, she instinctively downplays it because she was taught not to be arrogant. Women in general are often conditioned to shrink themselves—don’t be too confident, too boastful, too anything. On the flip side, people also assume that if someone is overly nice, they must want something.Aimee, being naturally nice, is drawn to people who have no problem telling others to f** off*. But both she and Roo agree—if you’re in a city, you cannot be too nice. You have to assert dominance, avoid eye contact, and keep yourself safe. It’s like the contrast between the cutthroat world of stand-up comedy versus the kind, nurturing world of improv. It all comes down to balance—finding the people you can truly be yourself with versus navigating the world outside.Make sure to email any feedback, comments, or thoughts to [email protected] and follow all socials at: @pillowfortpod @uroosastfu @aimeelecours_lols

Pillow Fort - Episode 21 - Sexiest McDonald’s Characters & Open Floor Plans
For this episode, night-time Aimee tricked night-time Roo into agreeing to an early morning recording, which quickly spirals into chaotic womb chatter. Aimee, however, had a revelation—early birds really do get the worms, and if you wake up early enough, you’ll actually see animals outside your window!Roo’s topic this week is open floor plans, specifically how they allow cooking smells to invade every corner of the house. But this topic is really a Trojan horse for Roo to bring up again that Aimee said she smells like onions. HOWEVER—Aimee insists she never said that. She merely pointed out that she can tell when Roo has eaten a lot of onions. Aimee defends herself by explaining her hypersensitivity to onion smells, while Roo claims Aimee is just racist and calling her stinky. Aimee stands firm: Roo is absolutely NOT stinky… unless she’s having a big onion day.Then, the duo dives into a salty, sultry debate: Who is the sexiest McDonald’s character of all time? Aimee goes for a manly moon type, while Roo picks an artsy, hairy dude. Who would you choose?

Pillow Fort - Episode 20 - Acne & Inappropriate Sizing of Shampoo & Conditioner
In this episode, Aimee opens up about her lifelong battle with acne—first enduring the harrowing side effects of Accutane (nosebleeds, suicidal depression, but flawless skin) only for pre-menopause to bring her breakouts back with a vengeance. Meanwhile, Roo is just trying to figure out why shampoo and conditioner bottles are never the same size. Aimee confesses to using a 3-in-1 (cue Roo accusing her of being a man). Roo is loving HelloFresh (not sponsored), but Aimee finds the portions impossible for her household of three. Plus, Aimee’s NYC trip took a chaotic turn when all her bank accounts locked her out—until the universe gifted her some found street cash. Aimee also had a realtor over and reassured her that her house definitely isn’t haunted—only to learn that everyone says that. And in a moment of hard-hitting honesty, the duo admits that part of dating and marrying men is just so they have someone to answer the door when things get scary.

Pillow Fort - Episode 19 - Teacher’s Pet Complex & Planned Obsolescence
The fort is buzzing with life this week—Aimee is getting recognized in the streets by Pillow Princesses, Roo’s beloved lime tree is budding, and Philippe the cat continues his anti-capitalist agenda. Roo opens up about her fierce competitive streak in acting class, grappling with the unfairness of naturally charismatic people (how dare they?!). Aimee helps her unpack her deep-rooted need to be the best—blame it on that classic Indian overachiever energy. The duo also explore the pitfalls of the creative hustle and the overall commodification of art. Meanwhile, Aimee finally found the perfect Florida-friendly slippers—only for them to break within a week (thanks, planned obsolescence!). She also rants about the struggle of fixing her dryer, while Roo dreams of opening an Indian sweet bakery. Plus, Aimee brags about being a New York jet-setter, Roo preps for an upcoming cruise (without Aimee, no third-wheeling allowed), and the Nafasat chapstick changes Aimee’s skincare game forever.

Pillow Fort - Episode 18 - Deep House Cleaning & Long Drive Listening Habits
In this episode, Roo and Aimee bring the fort to Catalyst Studio, recorded by Tom Casey. The duo plans to release the full video on YouTube later this week. Aimee delves into the transformative power of deep house cleaning, claiming it can (at least temporarily) make life feel fixable. She also gushes about her bug lady, who she’s determined to befriend, but is concerned that there will always be issues with their power dynamic. When it comes to long drives, the hosts couldn’t be more different. Roo and her boyfriend bond over self-help audiobooks (though Aimee is convinced it’s all part of a subtle improvement campaign), while Aimee and her husband embrace the silence. Both agree: the hardest part of road trips with your partner is realizing you’ve already discussed everything. It’s a cozy, quirky episode full of laughs, relatable moments, and a surprising dose of slug envy!

Pillow Fort - Episode 17 - Petroleum Jelly & First Tattoos - Live at Lil' Indies
This special episode was recorded live at Lil’ Indies, a beloved Orlando bar where Roo and Aimee have hosted countless comedy shows. Known for its cozy atmosphere and delicious drinks (though we’re not sponsored by neighboring restaurant Plantees), Lil’ Indies set the perfect stage for an unforgettable night. PLEASE KNOW that this is a live recording and Aimee messed up the original recording, so we used the audio from Roo’s camera. WE ARE LEARNING AS WE GO PEOPLE! So, there are some background noises and weird edits and cuts and you know what, you will just feel like a real live experience while you listen to this, which we absolutely meant to do. This episode featured guest comedians Jazmynne Sierra and Jason Montilla. Jazmynne shared a wild story about booking Roo and Aimee for a show last year, where she met her dad and his family for the first time. Roo discussed her decision to avoid pork and gelatin, while Aimee tackled the true meaning behind “this little piggy went to the market.” The duo also dove into audience questions like, “How do you sleep at night?” and riffed on petroleum jelly and first tattoos—though thanks to a mishap with Aimee’s music setup, the full recording didn’t survive.

Pillow Fort - Episode 16 - Cults & Gardening
This week, Roo and Aimee dive into cults, canned fish, and cucumbers with a special guest: Roo’s cat, Philippe, who has to leave to do his taxes. The episode kicks off with Roo’s Costco salmon mix-up, leading to a deep dive into her love for tinned fish and a plan for a tin fish party, complete with a side of potential mercury poisoning. Meanwhile, Aimee is not on board and insists that cult documentaries are her true obsession. She breaks down the classic cult formula: fresh food, anti-capitalism, and then—inevitably—one guy ruining it all with weird power trips and sex stuff. (Improv, they realize, is their own little cult—minus the sex, plus tinned fish sales.) Roo also shares her new gardening hobby, starting with garlic and cucumbers, only to discover it’s way more expensive and labor-intensive than she thought. The pair reminisce about growing up with no money, eating sandwich crusts, and Roo sneaking cocoa powder as a forbidden sweet treat. Sprinkle in some laughs about Philippe’s black toe-beans, feet videos, accepting compliments as women, and their love for Daytona comedy, and you’ve got a perfectly cozy, unhinged episode of Pillow Fort!

Meanwhile, Aimee reminisces about growing up in Florida’s citrus-rich days but doubles down on the fact that she’s not from the South. The duo dive into accents—Roo’s internal monologue, which is a Southern twang inspired by 90 Day Fiancé and Aimee’s inability to stay consistent in character. Plus, Aimee passionately calls out TikTok weather "experts" giving evacuation advice during Florida hurricanes without a degree in meteorology. Spoiler: it’s not just annoying, it’s dangerous.
