Good As New

Send us Fan Mail Summer is here and Jaj is finally vertical after four months of pregnancy hell — just in time to lose a toenail in New York and catch a cold she can't medicate. Jaj recaps a Brooklyn wedding, we bought a pizza oven we probably can't afford, and told you to stop complaining about having no friends if you've never planned a single thing. Jaj's kids bargain for a...

Send us Fan Mail I got the ugliest nails of my life, had a cancerous mole cut off my back ( get your skin checked ), and Jaj is finally going to New York this weekend to get Popup Bagels like the rest of the internet. At 19 weeks pregnant, she woke up in the middle of the night, fully convinced she was in labor. Nope. Gas. We also get into MJ the movie, our aggressively strong opinions on Secret L...

Send us Fan Mail Jaj is finally on the ups after four months of pregnancy hell (don't ask about the Zofran side effects — we will tell you), neither of us actually checked out so we live-shopped the Sephora sale, I went to a bachelorette party in Midway and Jaj ate deep-fried funeral potatoes, and we have a lot of thoughts on Alex vs. Alex. And not naming names but someone in Jaj's cul-d...

Send us Fan Mail We're back with a big secret (that you probably already know if you follow our socials), a 7-mile Central Park bike ride nobody signed up for, a Legoland review that should be a warning label, and Sticky Bestie bags that have been in transit since March are somewhere… Rylee would move to Nashville tomorrow and Coachella can kiss our ass at $8,000 a ticket. Hug Your People, an...

Send us Fan Mail We asked for your most embarrassing stories and honestly wish we hadn't. Jaj had a car wash disaster she's still recovering from, Rylee called a client pregnant before she'd told anyone, and your stories were even worse — from the dinner table to airport security, a shark question that wasn't about a shark, and keys lost for years that turned up in a shoe.  Hug...

Send us Fan Mail Grandma got kicked out of a gender reveal, a fiancé got caught cheating through his Apple Watch, Jaj got her dream nursery chair (no baby yet, just in case), and someone’s brother isn't hiding their drug habit very well. You know, just a normal Tuesday. Hug Your People, and Then Hug Them Again  Find us here: Instagram Website Tiktok Our latest merchandise DROP

Send us Fan Mail We're kicking off spring the only way we know how — by debating overhead lighting like it's a personality trait, discovering that reheating rice might actually kill you, and spiraling over the fact that funeral potatoes are NOT a restaurant food. We're sharing every product we're obsessed with right now, eating cottage cheese like it's our job, and having...

Send us Fan Mail Someone walked down the aisle and forgot a very important person, we can't stop talking about a $300 taco guy, and we downloaded an app that scored Uncrustables a 2 out of 100, so...that's where we're at. Also, we settled the great Diet Coke debate, said goodbye to styrofoam forever, and one of us has a toenail situation we probably shouldn't have shared. Happy...

Send us Fan Mail We're back and fully unhinged in the best way. This week's episode covers everything that matters: the chaos in Mexico and New York airports, a heartfelt goodbye to McSteamy (RIP), and a very passionate debate about whether "qualm" is even a real word (it is — but that's none of our business). It's the year of the horse and we are sharing our 2026 vis...

Send us Fan Mail The end of winter mood swings, why February felt like it would never end, and why getting dressed right now feels impossible. I share the gray “sweats” I’m living in, the ones that look a little more put together, plus a few recent buys that made being sick in bed feel slightly less boring. We also get into what we’re watching and what we’re excited about. I’m giving you my though...

Send us Fan Mail Good As New is BACK — and we have a LOT to catch up on. After nearly a year of silence, but we're finally returning to your earbuds, and trust us — the hiatus was not without reason. In this long-awaited Season 2 premiere, we sit down with zero game plan and full hearts to catch you up on everything that went down while we were gone. And spoiler: it was a lot . From my (Rylee...

Send us Fan Mail Okay, deep breath… we’ve got good news and bad news. And because we’re us, we’re obviously starting with the bad: this is our last episode for a while . Like summer break vibes, but with more emotional damage and fewer popsicles. Life is lifing, chaos is chaosing, and honestly—we’re at max capacity. Mentally, physically, hormonally. So we’re hitting pause on new episodes until fal...

Send us Fan Mail This week, we’re diving headfirst into the emotional rollercoaster that is being a girl —and spoiler alert: it’s a full-time job with zero PTO, hormonal chaos, and overpriced skincare. We’re talking spray tans as therapy, backseat babysitting, outfit meltdowns, mascara-induced rage, and why a $7 deodorant should be considered a luxury item. BUT we’re also shouting out the best par...

Send us Fan Mail Okay so here's the tea: last week’s episode? Ghosted us. Literally. Power blinked, vibes were high, we were batching like podcast queens and then poof — lights out, files gone, and everyone thought we quit. (We didn’t. Chill.) This week we’re BACK, caffeinated, chatty, and spiraling in the best way. Jaj moves and Rylee's new salon is taking shape, and how we both basical...

Send us Fan Mail You want chaos? You got it. In this week’s episode, Rylee and Jaj are barely hanging on — one home purchase, salon build, concert, and emotional spiral at a time. One's broke. One’s stressed. Both feel like gremlins. We deep dive into why opening a business feels like birthing a porcupine, why buying a house alone should come with emotional hazard pay, and how Kelsey Ballerin...

Send us Fan Mail Daylight savings is ruining our lives, Rylee’s dodging an arrest warrant (okay, fine, just a speeding ticket), and Jaj is basically a world traveler now—except she held her pee for five hours out of pure social anxiety. Also, why do men treat vacations like a triathlon? We need answers. We’re unpacking it all, plus the absolute insanity of trying to function in March (who even lik...

Send us Fan Mail You know it’s gonna be a good episode when we kick things off with a full-blown identity crisis and a Bachelor recap. But buckle up, because this one takes a wild turn. Rylee lived through what can only be described as a real-life apocalypse simulation at a massive cheer competition in Texas—where the words “shooter” and “bomb threat” sent 70,000 people into absolute chaos. Runnin...

Send us Fan Mail Well, well, well… look who decided to bless your ears again! We’re back, and this time, we’re serving up the best date night ideas—aka, the ones that don’t suck. After roasting bad date stories a few weeks ago, we figured it was only fair to highlight the ones that actually delivered romance, fun, and zero secondhand embarrassment. From candlelit Wendy’s to Northern Lights cheesec...

Send us Fan Mail Okay, let’s be honest—neither of us is exactly rolling in it right now, but today, we’re talking about feeling rich. You know, like when you were a kid, and you thought someone with a fridge full of Capri Suns was basically a millionaire? Yeah, that kind of rich. In this episode, we take a trip down memory lane, reminiscing about all the completely unhinged things that made people...

Send us Fan Mail Welcome back to Good As New , where today we’re diving headfirst into the romantic dumpster fire that is worst date stories . From motorcycle crashes to unexpected ex-wife run-ins, unsolicited serenades to literal hostage situations (we wish we were kidding)—this episode will make you grateful for every uneventful, mediocre date you’ve ever had. We also get into our own chaotic li...

Send us Fan Mail Happy Love Month , people! Whether you’re a hopeless romantic or a proud Valentine’s Day hater, we’ve got thoughts. Lots of them. This week, we break down the bizarre relationship limbo of being apart for 10 whole days (does it get awkward?? Do we need a ‘Welcome Home’ sign??), our hot takes on The Bachelor (spoiler: we were SHOCKED at that first impression rose), and why we will...

Send us Fan Mail How soon is too soon to move on? Is there a time-limit on healing? What are the appropriate steps to take when moving on from loss after love? In today's episode we talk about navigating the complicated, heart-wrenching journey of love after loss. Yep, we’re diving deep into those "When are you getting married?" questions (thanks for the pressure, guys). If you&apos...

Send us Fan Mail Today’s guest, Brett, takes us on a wild ride through his unexpected journey of going from a thriving fitness buff to a fatigued shadow of himself. Brett experienced a two-year battle with a debilitating and mysterious illness that left him severely underweight, chronically fatigued, and struggling with intense brain fog and migraines. Despite numerous doctor visits and extensive...

Send us Fan Mail In light of everything that's been lost to those in Southern California, it has us asking what makes us feel rich? Forget yachts and diamond rings—true wealth might just be watching your kids excel at a sport or having people show up for you in a time of need. After seeing people redefine what it means to be ‘rich’ in the wake of loss, we asked our listeners: What makes you f...

Send us Fan Mail Hey, besties, it’s Rylee and Jaj, and we’re BACK in our cute-as-heck newly decorated studio for the Good as New podcast 2025 reboot! (Okay, not a reboot. More like a glow-up. We’ve got actual baseboards now.) This week, we’re spilling on all the chaos and charm of starting fresh in the new year. We’re chatting about everything from fail-proof goals (hint: pick habits, not resoluti...
