77. Pop Culture Q&A 11.11.2022

Well, you know what happens when I have a lot going on... we do a Q&A episode! I actually begin by discussing some pop culture that I cannot stop thinking about, namely: Aaron Carter's tragic passing, Lindsay's big comeback, and Matthew Perry's outstanding memoir.

This was a huge week for us Simpson fans! Jessica did her first public appearance since February 2020 and Ashlee did her first live performance since 2018, so of course, I had to get Jessica's biggest fan (Derrik) and Ashlee's biggest fan (Jackie) on the podcast to describe their first hand experience of these magical events! Ever wonder what it's like to be treated like family by your...

71. Autobiography Part 1: The Making Of 26.09.2022

MY AUTOBIOGRAPHY TRIBUTE SERIES IS FINALLY HERE! In Part 1, we go back to the very beginning, when Ashlee Simpson retired from being her big sister Jessica's back up dancer, found a musical partnership in Sugar Ray drummer Stan Frazier and his writing/producing partner Steve Fox, and got signed to Geffen Records.

70. Lindsay Lohan Part 12: House Arrest & Playboy 09.09.2022

We’re back to Lindsay’s wild life this week and today the time machine stops in 2011, a year that featured much more legal trouble and zero acting gigs. Many people commented that Lindsay’s career was over years before this, it really seemed like that could be the case at this point due to her blatant and repetitive breaking of the law. PATREON Subscribers get bonus episodes, videos, commentaries...

68. Lindsay Lohan Part 11: Jail 16.08.2022

Here we go again... the time machine stops in 2010 today, as Lindsay is sentenced to 90 days in jail followed by 90 days in rehab for violating her probation. Have you always wondered exactly what happened that lead to this point and what happened after? I get into it all, including the positive aspects of Lindsay's life around this time: her fashion collabs and retail lines, film work, and oh...

67. Lindsay Lohan Part 10: Samantha 08.08.2022

Here we go again in the wild ride that is Lindsay Lohan's life. Today the time machine goes from 2007-2009 as we explore Lindsay's less-than-stellar movies I Know Who Killed Me & Chapter 27, her integration back into "normal" every day life post-rehab, and her relationships... particularly, the sweet yet volatile one with iconic queer LA DJ Samantha Ronson. All that and so mu...

66. Lindsay Lohan Part 9: Rehab 25.07.2022

In our continuing Lindsay saga, today the time machine stops in 2007. This was another year packed with more than most people experience in a decade, including three stays at different rehabs following multiple arrests. However, Lindsay was still slaying the acting and fashion game, turning in an impressive performance in Georgia Rule and becoming the face of Miu Miu and Jill Stewart. We get into...

65. Lindsay Lohan Part 8: Bimbo Summit 18.07.2022

We're back to Lindsay Lohan this week as we explore one of the greatest pop culture moments of our time: Bimbo Summit, an evening during which Britney Spears and Paris Hilton sat in a car with Lilo. Sounds simple enough, but it isn't really -- I dive into every detail in the longest installment yet. This episode covers some other massive events in Lindsay's life including the career-ru...

64. Newlyweds: Nick and Joe ft. Torry of @rtbppodcast 11.07.2022

It's back to Newlyweds this week with a brand new guest! I needed a pop culture aficionado like myself to get through this slog of an episode. Any time Nick's name is in the title, I just need some emotional and spiritual support, so I asked Torry of Ready to Be Petty to join me for "Nick and Joe". Journey back with us to summer 2004 when Jessica flew out her team and family to C...

63. Lindsay Lohan Part 7: A Little More Personal 04.07.2022

This week we are back to our Lindsay Lohan series and it's time to review her deeply personal second album, A Little More Personal (Raw) and then move into another busy year: 2006. In this episode I also cover the famous February 2006 Vanity Fair article, Just My Luck, her parents' divorce, the Firecrotch incident, and so much more. PATREON Subscribers get bonus episodes, videos, commentar...

62. Ashlee Hits the Big Time ft. Kara Berry 27.06.2022

We’re back to The Ashlee Simpson Show this week, so let’s get in the time machine back to summer 2004. Ashlee is about to release her debut album, Autobiography, and is stressed y’all. This episode has everything: Ashlee complaining, Tina cackling, Joe’s constant frustration, Jessica being cute, a pink mini skirt over some jeans, Ryan Cabrera being weird, Ashlee being late, horrible vocals, decent...

61. Lindsay Lohan Part 6: 2005 10.06.2022

This week we are back to our epic Lindsay Lohan saga and it's time to dive into another crazy year in the life of Lilo: 2005. What didn't happen during this year? The blonde hair, the weight loss, the partying, the Nicole Richie of it all, the fashion, the car crashes, the parents... and oh yeah, she somehow managed to release a movie, an album, AND a MyScene doll. It's all waiting for...

60. Newlyweds: The Kentucky Derby ft. @jennabraze 28.05.2022

This week we are back to Newlyweds with first time guest @jennabraze! This is THE episode for all you long suffering 98 Degrees fans, because Jenna has been serenaded by them, so you know I had to hear that story. We also discuss the Kentucky Derby (which is a fashion show that horses race at), large raccoons, large hats, ridiculous sound effects, ridiculously priced dinner tickets, and so much mo...

59. Lindsay Lohan's Best Songs ft. Jesse Chambliss 20.05.2022

Today's installment of my Lindsay Lohan series is the first with a guest! I'm so excited to welcome back Jesse Chambliss of Jesse's Girls to The Ashlee and Jessicast for a full on juicy discussion of all things Lindsay. Sure, we started out with a very simple formula: we planned to list our 5 favorite songs by iconic pop superstar Lindsay Lohan, and list them we did... but we definitel...

58. Lindsay Lohan Part 5: Speak 06.05.2022

Today the time machine stops in 2004 once again as we continue through Lindsay's landmark year of 2004.

Of course, I also get into the overwhelming media attention around Lindsay, her breakup with Wilmer Valderamma, and so much more. PATREON Subscribers get...

Here it is! Grab your oversized pink polo, Burn Book, and virgin cocktails: Today’s episode, Lindsay Lohan Part 4, is about the pinnacle of her career so far: MEAN GIRLS. My heart’s on overdrive going back to this magical time: 2004, when Lindsay was on top of the world. I also discuss her stellar appearance on SNL, the crazy media attention she received, her hosting gig at the MTV Movie Awards, a...

56. Lindsay Lohan Part 3: Freaky Friday & Confessions 04.04.2022

Let’s journey back between mid 2002 and early 2004, when Lindsay was busy cementing herself as a bankable Hollywood icon with the films “Freaky Friday” and “Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen”. We are deep diving into these films and what made them great, the almost 20 year friendship of Lindsay and Jamie Lee Curtis, the unfortunate sexualization of an underage Lindsay, and so much more. PATREON...

55. Ashlee Performs Live ft. Joel of Right Back At Ya! 26.03.2022

We are back to our girl Ashlee Simpson this week and I think this may be my favorite one we've done on her yet. It's rare Ashlee gets a long one like this, but very deserved! I barely had to edit my conversation with the absolutely wonderful Joel who is 1/2 of the Right Back At Ya! podcast that you must check out if you haven't already! We discussed so many different Ashlee and Jessica...

54. Lindsay Lohan Part 2: Feud With Hilary Duff 21.03.2022

You guys asked and I delivered! Here it is, an extremely detailed account on the feud that kept all of our pre-teen brains up at night: Lindsay VS Hilary. I break down the entire drama from its early beginnings on the set of Lizzie McGuire to everyone's more recent comments on the entire debacle. Please let me know... do you agree with my theories on this deeply important matter? I'm dying...
