Porch Talk

Welcome back to Porch Talk! This week Jordan has a full Goldilocks moment with hotel towels (too soft, too rough… what texture is just right?), we debate the difference between a blizzard and a snowstorm, and profess our love for general store snacks in North Conway. We also talk Olympic skating queen Alysa Liu, viral zoo animals, wedding registry stress, sleepwalking stories, and some chaotic TV and movie thoughts.

This week we’re diving into the real history of Valentine’s Day and yes, we’re talking about the ancient Roman fertility festival Lupercalia because nothing says romance like ritual chaos.We also unpack where Galentine’s Day actually came from (thank you, Parks and Recreation), and how it went from fictional brunch to full-blown cultural phenomenon.Meanwhile, Jordan has entered her villain era. Topics include: National Grid rage, the emotional damage of vet bills, HMUAs asking for Instagram handles, and wedding planning nightmares that feel like a psychological experiment.We also address the fact that we are, unfortunately, a ragebaiter’s dream and probably candidates for anger management.And lastly, could our pets be the true breadwinners of this household?

Brownie Batter Donuts are BACK at Dunkin’ and honestly… nature is healing. We reminisce about the legendary 2009 “Submit Your Own Donut” era, confirm that Jordan is Little Debbie’s #1 fan, and share a public service announcement life hack: Head & Shoulders isn’t just for your scalp 👀.We alert the masses that Forever 21 is attempting a comeback (online + NYC pop-up), debate whether fancy Jell-O shots like Dirty Shirleys and espresso martinis are a recession indicator, and recap Katie’s 27th birthday—which included crashing a corporate holiday party, possibly blacking out, and eating the best duck fat fries and hot honey pizza of our lives. Shoutout to the Liberty Hotel!Then we get into it: why women should be put in charge of men’s jobs (this snow would’ve been cleared A.S.A.P.), and why Boston pedestrians desperately need to learn how to WALK like New Yorkers—pick up the pace!!!We close the episode with a grounded conversation about the recent Epstein document release, how to stay informed without spiraling and protect your energy.

Is it climate change or did we accidentally time travel back to 2016? This week on Porch Talk, we’re questioning why it’s 50 degrees in January, celebrating Harry Styles’ return, and wondering why people learned absolutely nothing from COVID (please stop coming to work sick). Jordan shares a huge hair update (no alopecia, we cheered), unpacks her absolutely unhinged stress dreams, and recounts learning the rules of the mountain the hard way while snowboarding. Plus: Fetty Wap nostalgia, army green bomber jackets, tattoo removal discourse, Euphoria season 3 thoughts, Tell Me Lies chaos, and Katie puts her KitchenAid to WORK with homemade pasta.

We’re BACK and kicking off Season 3 by doing what we do best: catching up.From holiday recaps and New Year’s Eve reflections to accidentally buying each other the exact same martini glasses, we’re covering it all. We talk favorite gifts (KitchenAid dreams, walking pad walks), Jordan’s mom surprising everyone with a Christmas cat, and why the Stranger Things finale left us feeling… underwhelmed.Plus, we’re sharing our 2026 ins & outs (greens IN, private equity businesses OUT) and diving into the Button Girl trend that’s making us think differently about time and intention this year.Welcome back to the porch 🪑✨

In this episode, we’re bouncing from sea glass hunting to the stars—literally. We talk holiday return fees, Jordan’s officially finalized bridal party, and the massive astrology shifts coming in 2026 (hi, Uranus in Gemini). Along the way, we question why hot drinks are never drinkable and why people seem to forget how to behave in public. Casual, funny, and a little unhinged—just the way we like it.

This week we’re all over the place in the best way. We’re sharing our first thoughts on Stranger Things Season 5 Volume 1, getting nostalgic (and a little sad) about how holidays hit different as adults, debating what actually makes a good white elephant gift, laughing way too hard at the Pillsbury Doughboy’s giggle, and asking the important question: just how long is jarred pasta sauce really good for?

HELLO BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE! Your fav yapping gals are back (again) with the return of Porch Talk. Life got a bit hectic (mental/physical health, moving, all the things) but we are so freaking happy to be back talking to you all again! This week is just us getting back in the studio (Jordan's new living room) to give some life updates and get the juices flowing as we prepare for more organized episodes going forward. What you can expect to hear: vapes are adult pacifiers, experiencing hair loss, DWTS hot takes, a scandal out of UMASS Amherst, a baby alligator was found in the Charles River, and other silliness! If you're still here listening and supporting the show, WE LOVE YOU! Truly doing this silly little show brings so much joy and purpose and we hope you enjoy listening just as much as we enjoy recording :)

This week on Porch Talk, we're asking the big questions — like do bugs fart? We spiral into boy candy vs. girl candy discourse, learn that Waymo’s self-driving cars have landed in Boston, and Jordan does a JoJo Siwa impression that should honestly be illegal. We meet our new TikTok obsession, Tiki the rescue dog, and try to understand why Annabelle the haunted doll is now on tour like she’s Beyoncé. Plus: 11 inmates escape NOLA prison through a toilet, Katie commits an act of pure evil in a PetSmart parking lot, and we may have been Karens this weekend... but like, the justified kind. Oh, and there’s a heel-breaking life hack you’ll actually want to remember.

It finally feels like summer, and we’re setting the vibe. This week, we’re diving into the songs, snacks, and summer outings that make the season feel real — plus helping you build the ultimate bucket list. But don’t worry, it’s not all sunscreen and serotonin. We’re also unpacking nightmares at Newark Airport, semi trucks that play ads, a very public poop-fueled road rage incident, and the mysterious link between golf courses and Parkinson’s(?).We also play a game of “Name an artist, now scream your favorite song,” debate whether men are shaving their legs, and ask: how accurate is the Farmer’s Almanac anyway? Oh, and a guy quit his job to sail to Hawaii with his cat. We respect it.

This week’s chaos includes a trip to the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, margs and tacos at Toca Chida, a suspicious bomb-sniffing dog encounter, and an antique store haul. We share our Tweets of the Week and dive into our Notes app ramblings: Jordan finally buys a good pillow, we debate the casting for the upcoming Britney Spears biopic, and declare that the Costco cookie guys were absolutely onto something. Plus: our thoughts on the YOU series finale, Lady Gaga’s 2-million-strong Brazilian crowd, blue rain in Texas (???), Diddy’s trial kickoff, and a Wendy Williams check-in. Also: we hate the Family Guy Star Wars episodes, but loved Quinta on SNL. A little unhinged, a lot of fun.

This week on Porch Talk, we’re spreading the good vibes and sharing all the things we’re currently loving with—from music and nostalgic snacks to the places and routines giving us life. But don’t worry, it’s still chaos as usual. We dive into the return of the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge (with a twist), a new AI tool that literally helps you cheat called Cluely (terrifying), and the internet’s latest hypothetical: could 100 men beat 1 gorilla?Plus: Avon gladiator sandal memories, a wild TikTok skincare infection, Jordan still can’t whistle, Katie finishes Normal People (and has thoughts), and the U.S. wants to give you $5K to have a baby and a medal if you crank out six. Oh, and Lifetime made a Honey Boo Boo movie??? Let’s unpack it all.

Welcome back to Porch Talk! This week’s episode is pure unfiltered Porch Talk chaos. We recap a jam-packed weekend featuring a lactose horror story, Boston crowds, Easter, and some 4/20 chatter. Then we spiral into our hot topics of the week: is there a serial killer in New England? Why don’t places toast bagels anymore? Should we be concerned about the wooly mammoth coming back? We also grieve Jordan’s TV dads (RIP Bobby Nash and Joel Miller), reflect on Coachella, debate the return of Heelys and bushes, and wonder what the Pope does. Plus: a DIY hack for leg-crossing, a strange bouncer encounter, and who the hell is in the Toad costume at Universal?

Welcome back to Porch Talk! We’re back with no real theme, but lots to say. This episode is a mixed bag of hot takes, weird news, and whatever popped into our heads over the last week! We kick things off with our brand-new segment Tweets of the Week to get the giggles going before diving into the random chaos that’s been living rent-free in our brains. From the 17 nurses with brain tumors at a Massachusetts hospital to a Florida woman wrestling an alligator to save her dog (Jordan would do the same for Jeff), nothing is off limits. We unpack the proposed 32-hour work week, botanical sexism, why safety pins are on literally everything, and how Katy Perry is headed to space?! Plus: Tabi shoes, castor oil for hair growth, and the question no one’s answering—how do buses fit in the same lane as cars?

Welcome back to Porch Talk! This week on Porch Talk, we take a trip down memory lane and unpack our weirdest childhood crushes—because apparently, Jordan had a thing for Stabler from SVU as a child. From Brett Michaels to Uncle Jesse to actual cartoon characters, we’ve got some questionable picks to discuss. We also introduce a brand-new segment, Tweets of the Week, where we share the funniest, wildest, and most unhinged tweets we came across. Plus, we dive into this week’s hot topics: the new KFC ad, Ultra Music Festival’s ridiculous drink prices, Jordan’s cat eating her underwear, the latest Remi Bader controversy, an astrology PSA about Neptune shaking things up in Aries, and why National Grid customers in MA are about to get a fat refund. Grab a drink and get comfy—this one's a fun one!

Plus, Brittany Broski is singing, Miami is renaming streets after rappers, and we break down the viral alpha man morning routine. And the biggest question of all: why do Jeep drivers have rubber ducks? Tune in to find out!

Welcome back to Porch Talk! It’s been five years since the world shut down, and we’re reflecting on how COVID-19 changed everything—from the trends we were obsessed with in 2020 to the lasting societal shifts we still feel today. But don’t worry, we’ve also got our usual hot topics: Jordan’s latest TV obsessions (9-1-1 and Baylen Out Loud), why we actually approve of Disney’s Lilo & Stitch live-action remake, and how Forever 21 just joined the list of businesses ruined by private equity. Plus, the 2026 World Cup is coming to Foxborough, which means we’re planning our escape, and we try to solve the mystery of where TJ Maxx’s brands come from. Oh, and can someone please make comfortable shoes cute? Just because we’re young doesn’t mean we don’t have bunions.

This week, we dive into the surprisingly wild history of Saint Patrick's Day (spoiler: it’s not just about beer). McDonald's Play Places are disappearing — but why? Trisha Paytas is expecting baby #3 (watch out, Pope Francis). Pretty Little Thing’s rebrand has the internet scratching its head, and Severance has us questioning everything (seriously, what does Lumon even do??). Plus, we explore the origins of our names and ask the most important question of all: if your fingers could serve five drinks on tap, what would they be?

Welcome back (or to) Porch Talk! Last Friday night hit different… and not in a good way. We ventured out to a bar packed with college kids and quickly realized—we are far from our element. This week, we’re embracing being young and hot while reminiscing about our own college days with everyone's favorite guest, JC (shoutout UMASS Amherst). But first, we’re recapping the weekend, including a 10/10 hibachi experience (shoutout Witch City Hibachi) and Gus’s wild nightly adventures. Then, we’re diving into this week’s biggest scandals: the internet’s hate for Shrek 5, Unwell Network’s Alix vs. Alex drama, Walmart cakes vs. home bakers, and the return of White Lotus. Plus, some blasts from the past: Casey Anthony attempting a rebrand (everyone go report her), and Octomom’s kids are somehow 16?!Tune in for the chaos, the laughs, and the nostalgia. Grab a drink (or a college-era Four Loko) and let’s talk.

Welcome back to Porch Talk! This week, we’re dodging punches (literally) after trying hip-hop boxing, hitting our favorite bar for a GNO filled with top-tier people-watching, and celebrating the thrill of a good thrift find—especially when Jordan somehow scored two high-end wedding dresses (NTB, we swear).Then, we dive into the week’s wildest headlines: Dublin’s new daytime raves (club before noon, anyone?), a horrifying embryo mix-up where a woman didn’t realize she was carrying the wrong baby until birth, the new app that lets you rent a bodyguard, Diddy’s lawyer quitting right before his trial, and the sheer audacity of Erewhon charging $19 for strawberries.

We explore the glamorous yet gross truth. Also on deck: the real reason Chicago is called the Windy City (hint: it’s not the weather).
