Being Friends Pod

Welcome Back!  Great week for us! The Knicks are NBA Champs, and Toni-ann is officially an Auntie!!! We are recapping the Parade, talking about Wemby for the last time and overall sharing our happiness that "Our Knicks" won!  Otherwise this episode is a little all over the place given we had a bunch of random things to discuss in the weeks we missed recording.  Like, Subscribe and Share...

Happy Monday Friends!  We are back and still not really talking about anything new, since the Knicks are all that is on our minds.  But otherwise: -It has been a while but we have a self-inflicted injury story. But for once, it's not Toni-ann! -The younger generation needs to apparently learn workplace etiquette, and how the honor system works. -Taylor's new song for Toy Story 5, and her...

Welcome back on a Monday!  We are kicking off the week instead of ending it for you all.  The title of this episode really says it all. We are talking MORE Off Campus, because we cannot get enough. What the hell makes this show so addictive? How is this show so good? And will Toni-ann be reading before the future seasons?  Annnnnnd, OUR Knicks are going to the FINALS! As you know, we are the bigge...

We are back after a two week break and we have a lot to talk about!  This week, we are talking about Jess's family trip to Chicago and some of the fun things they did, their bad luck with Uber and their weird encounters with multiple hit and runs throughout the weekend.  Toni-ann is trying to decide on a paint color for her place, and is really pointing out how annoying it is to pick out a pa...

Welcome Back to another week of Being Friends. This week we are not as lively as episode 100, but we are still bringing all our opinions. Toni-ann introduced her sister-in-law to The Sims and there is just something about that game that is so genius, it will always suck you into a month straight of obsession.  Louis and Zayn, formerly of One Direction, were apparently making a documentary, which h...

We have a very special episode this week, we made it to 100 episodes!!! For this momentous milestone, we decided to get together IRL and use our new tiny mics (we are obsessed) on Jess's couch. This one is a Jess and Toni-ann special, everyone! If you think we are chaotic on our webcams, just imagine how ridiculous we are together in person! To make it even more special, we recorded on Toni-a...

Welcome Back and Happy Friday Friends!  This week we have an abrupt end due to the chaos in Jess's house, but we have a good episode otherwise!  Topics include: -Jess's toddler learned a new insult.  -How to really gauge an Amazon product and if it is worth the purchase. -The reality TV headlines are BOOMING and we are discussing the latest Summer House Drama aka filling in Toni-ann and...

Happy Friday Friends!  This week we are ranting about everything.  Jess tried Pilates and her first class was nothing short of chaotic in a typical Jess fashion. Luckily no fainting happened, but she was pretty close.  Toni-ann went to Florida and finally played PicklebBall. Spoiler Alert: she is good at it, and so of course we will now never hear the end of it.  Why are people still obsessed with...

Welcome Back to Being Friends with Jess and Toni-ann! This week, we are mostly talking about what we are watching but before that review, we are discussing some other topics. This week we experienced our 1st false spring of 2026 (and most likely not the last). We had a fabulous 80 degree day and two days later we are expecting snow- such a tease, but we made the most of it. The World Baseball Clas...

Welcome Back for another Friday of Rants from the Friends.  This week, both Toni-ann and Jess cannot keep it together over Punch the Monkey and this viral story. We are too emotional and honestly can barely talk about it. We are catching up on two weeks of life, so the Blizzard made its way into this week's rants because Toni-ann's neighbor caused complete chaos with the plowing situatio...

Welcome Back Friends!  This week's pod is short and sweet. We are kicking it off with our Ridiculous Things and Toni-ann and her customer service call is VERY relatable. This week it was announced that a Hannah Montana 20 year anniversary special is coming. We are discussing our excitement and thoughts on what it may or may not be.  The Olympics are almost over, and we are discussing what has...

Happy Galentines friends AND Happy Friday!  We are back and recapping Toni-ann's Lake Placid Ski Trip!  We are also loving the Winter Olympics and talking about some of the results so far. The snubbed Ice Dancing results, Luge, Ski Jump and more!  We recapped Super Bowl Sunday and Bad Bunny's half time performance.  Spring Training has begun! The Mets are making changes and we are judgin...

Welcome back for another episode everyone!  It has been a few weeks, so the majority of this episode is us catching you up on the ridiculousness of our lives. Jess got plenty of chaos in her life, while Toni-ann tells us about her skiing trip and travel encounters.  We are also debating our favorite topic, summer vs winter. This has been a hot topic of our entire friendship, but neither of us are...

Happy Friday Friends!  Welcome back for another week of chaos with us!  We are recapping the Golden Globes, which of courses means we criticize a lot!  Toni-ann is adding a new show to her watch list, surprise surprise The Pitt is back!  LA Mom Group drama - who is in the wrong: Ashley Tisdale, Hilary Duff, Mandy Moore, or all of them? Our experience surviving a day without a phone, thanks to the...

Happy New Year Friends!  After a much needed break for the holidays, we are back and giving you an episode that is truly what we intended this podcast to be.  We are starting it off with the epic fail of us trying to have a nice night out, and as our luck would have it, things did not go according to plan.  Toni-ann is sharing her dinner problems, lack of Chocolatey Stars, and terrible luck with h...

Happy Friday, we are back with a roundup of all the things!  First, we get into TV: - These 9-1-1 TV shows are perplexing. Are they satire? Are they just testing how crazy they can get and people will still watch? We ponder. -Love Is Blind (first 6 episodes) recap - this show has completely lost the plot. -The Pitt Season 1 - Toni-ann binged the hell out of it this past week, and is loving it.  Th...

Welcome back friends!  This episode is MOSTLY about the newest Taylor album, of course, but for our non-Swiftie fans, we did discuss some other random things!  We are discussing the hardship of planning a haircut, or your nails, especially around special occasions. Fun Fridays- the new Friday ritual Jess created a new ritual with her kids for the month of October called "Fun Fridays." La...

After a few busy weeks, we are back! Sorry people, life happens. While we were gone, Jess threw an Epic 3 year old birthday party #3'Jais.  Toni-ann cannot remember the context of the notes she wrote to discuss, so we go down a rabbit hole on commercials. Why can't we bring back more jingles from the 90s and early 2000s?  This week, Jess and Toni-ann faced off in Fantasy Football - and s...

Welcome Back Friends!  This week's episode was recorded last week and delayed due to some technical issues so apologies that our pop-culture news is not so new this week!  First thing's first - Taylor and Travis are engaged and boy did they break the internet! These Swifties are overjoyed and we are sharing all our feelings!  We are also hearing about all of Toni-ann's adventures in...

Welcome back friends!  This week we are discussing LOTS of current pop culture topics. Starting with our feelings about the latest episode of "The Summer I Turned Pretty" and just a warning if you ain't team Connie then you are not going to like what we have to say. But for real, why is Belly the worst?  We are then jumping to Taylor Mayhem. TS 12 is coming out, we got the best inte...
