Jesse's Girls

Van ( @bestweekeverpodcast ), Torry ( @rtbppodcast ), and Christy ( @xknowsall ), join me for a meeting of the minds! Shitfest, if you will. We kiki and answer three questions: What's your pop culture obsession right now? What's something everyone seems to care about that you could not give two shits about? What's something niche (past or present) that you wish more people cared about...

More like Aubrey O'Slay, amirite? She needs no introduction, folks! Aubrey is enigmatic, fascinating, and chaotic. Troy McEady (who essentially has a residency on this show at this point) and I discuss her role as the breakout star in Danity Kane, her time on reality tv, high-profile relationships, and how she's become an important voice in pop culture over the past few years as she has be...

Record-breaking album sales and awards as well as plenty of controversies make TLC's story so compelling. Sit back, grab some lightly-dusted white cheddar popcorn, and journey with me throughout TLC's entire career and discography. After suffering the equivalent of writer's block for podcasters, this was a labor of love, so please share with your friends! Remember, to stay in the loop...

Excuse this VERY RAW EPISODE! I didn't even add any music or edit out my sniffles (like I usually do LAWLZ), but if you saw on my Instagram/Tiktok this week, some shit went down when I posted photos and videos I got of BRITNEY JEAN SPEARS on the beach in Cabo. I got them from a REAL SOURCE THAT I KNOW! I lay out the whole story, how I exploded the internet, and how the conspiracy minions react...

BRITNEY'S BOOK IS HAPPENING! WE HAVE A RELEASE DATE! There's so much Britney news I had to get the girls together for a little kiki. I'm joined by Zach Patton-Garcia and Troy McEady to dish on our book predictions, discuss what happened in Vegas (despite it not staying in Vegas), Britney's always-rumored return to music, and where we stand on some of the more questionable things st...

I am fortunate that the internet brought Tori Alamaze to me. You may know her as the ORIGINAL recording artist of the song "Don't Cha", made famous by the Pussycat Dolls, but she is so much more than that. Tori walks me through her journey of starting out as a Makeup Artist to the stars into singing backup on tour with OutKast and then launching her own solo career with her first maj...

This week I'm joined by friend-of-the-pod, Troy McEady, to dissect the life and career of Nicole Scherzinger. We get into everything from her career beginnings, solo aspirations, alleged relationships, and how much of a role she may have played in the mistreatment of her fellow bandmates. I put on my tin foil hat and make connections between Nicole and Robin Antin to Lou Taylor and how that ma...

This is my longest solo episode TO DATE and it was absolutely necessary to cover everything Pussycat Dolls. Whether you were a diehard fan or someone who casually listened, this episode has something for you so PLEASE support it and share with a friend. In the episode I focus on Robin Antin, mastermind of the Dolls, and whether she’s a protective Den Mother or viper hiding in the weeds. I discuss...

I had toooooo many thoughts about the events of last week. I offer my two cents about Chlöe's album sales, Ariana Grande's comments about body shaming, Ellie Goulding's new album, and Kelly Clarkson's double single release. Join me in the conversation and let me know how you felt about this past week! Remember, to stay in the loop about all things Jesse's Girls, follow along on...

Little Mix is finally HERE! In this episode, I begin with a synopsis of their time on X Factor (and the unlikely celebrity who masterminded their formation), their success in the UK, missteps when breaking into the US market, controversies, and struggles in their personal lives. In the second half of the episode, I’m joined by Saige from @britneyspearscustomdolls to discuss their time as a trio, t...

This week I’m joined by my new obsession, Fatou (fa2chainz) to discuss our perfect girl group concoctions. We discuss the key components for what makes a girl group successful and why we feel some groups didn’t make it big. Fatou reveals which girl group she absolutely cannot stand, and we play a game of “this or that” where I absolutely corner Fatou and make her choose between songs, music videos...

This week I'm joined by the legendary Kelli Williams (Beyond the Blinds, Nostalgia & Now, Laguna Biotch) to relive S Club 7's first tv special, Back to the '50s! This special gave us the S Club Party music video which should be convincing enough for you to want to listen. Kelli stans them like I do, so we got into her memories of the group, broke down the very WACKY special, and dove into some...

This week I’m joined by regulation hottie, Julez Laro, to discuss how I didn’t make the transition from 3LW to Cheetah Girls until later on in life because I was a CHILD WHORE (this will make sense in context, probably). Also, come through Cheetah Girls with the multi ethnic group and Trans supporting characters! I learned a lot in my research including a superstar who was supposed to be in the or...

These three little women stole my heart! In this episode about 3LW, I take you on a fascinating career journey that starts with Ricky Martin and ends with a lawsuit. No, seriously. We discuss the formation of the group, the 2 short album eras we were blessed with, the drama of a member leaving (shocking girl group trope, I know!), and Adrienne Bailon's ad libs. I know y'all will LOVE this episode,...

S Club 7 is reuniting for a tour in 2023! This episode was recorded just FOUR days before this announcement was made, so I'd like to say I played a hand in it. First order of business - MERCH is live now, so go get your shirt to support Jesse's Girls in Jesse's unemployment era! Now onto business - I'm joined this week by actor, content creator, model, and everything renaissance man, Adam Straugha...

Special Valentine’s Day Episode alert! I’m joined this week by Christy from X Knows All to discuss everything Shawn and Camila and their relationship timeline. We break down the relationship inception, all of the cringe yet memorable moments, especially the pap walks and jump scare videos from quarantine, and their breakup. We compare and contrast Shawn and Camila vs Justin and Selena and how effe...

I’m joined this week by Mykel Montana, my IRL friend! We get into all of the moments during 5H’s second album cycle that led to their demise. We also detail Camila’s departure and how the public and the rest of the group responded. Mykel also gives the hot take that Fifth Harmony gave us one of the last iconic VMA moments. We then chronicle their last era, and have a conversation about their curre...

MERCH ANNOUNCEMENT! We go through the gestational period all the way to the hospice era of Fifth Harmony’s career. Label issues, chaotic moments, infighting. It’s all here!

Surprise! This is the first installment in a new series, Extended Mix. The series will be an opportunity to interview incredible guests whether in between seasons or mid-season that can drop at any time. I’m kicking the series off with Zach Rickel, aka @afunctioninggay on Instagram and Tiktok! We did this for the pop music NERDS! I live for these conversations. We discuss everyone from Britney (of...

I reached into the deep recesses of the internet to watch the almost-scrubbed-from-the-viewing-zeitgeist cult classic, Spice World! I’m joined by Sloane and Zach of The Mummy Dearest Podcast to genuinely delight in the nostalgia of this camp masterpiece. Re-watching Spice World in our 30s did not disappoint, and it was a riot to talk it over with these goons. We cover everything from how famous an...

Lesbian stuff! Today, Lia Russo of @ashleeandjessicast joins the pod to discuss the timeline of Geri and Mel B’s alleged romantic/sexual relationship and how they’ve discussed it (or not) in media. Two disclaimers!!! This episode was recorded a few months ago in 2022 AND we are not speculating about sexuality - we are merely examining their response to allegations and also perceptions about sexual...

In this SOLO episode of Jesse's Girls, I kick off Season 3 with a QUICK overview about the formation of the Spice Girls and chronicle their unique rise to success and disbandment in their prime. My head was spinning putting all of this side-by-side, so this will be a great refresher as to how famous they were. Of course, I get into the charts and the numbers, honey! Remember, to stay in the loop a...

Emergency Episode! There is so much to speculate about Britney Spears right now. The Nobu birthday Tiktok, rumors of she and Sam living separately, and if she’s really free. Does Britney control her Instagram? Why would she post a positive message about JLS? If you have any of these same questions, Troy McEady of Beyond the Blinds and Dunzo! Is here to weigh in on ALL of these things with me. This...

This week Zach Patton-Garcia and I talk about the unique and amazing VOICE of Britney Spears and our favorite vocal moments from studio recordings, demos, and live performances! We discuss Zach attending the movies barefoot in the Deep South, we struggle to remember the names of literally everything, and we act like two little giggly children at a sleepover nerding out over Brit Brit. I also had t...
