Classless Chaps

Loose Opinions, Strongly Held (our extra toasty takes)

The girls chat about their hot takes that are *cough* actually hot.  And then the hot takes turn into lukewarm opinions - incredibly niche ones, nonetheless.  But first they break down the words and phrases they can’t stop using in 2024, and they can promise you they stray FAR from the trendy lingo that you hear all the time — I mean, unless asking “Mrs. Puff, what should I be working on?” is suddenly a gen z catchphrase.

YouTube Killed the Reality Star?

Is the age of reality stars coming to an end now that anyone can be the star of their own "reality show" on YouTube?! This week the girls talk about the unexpected symbiosis between reality TV and social media. Maddy worships the ground Drew Gooden walks upon and Phoebe wants to barf at the phrase "parasocial relationships."

Too Woke for TV (& a Miranda Cosgrove Deep Dive)

Maddy’s obsessed with Miranda Cosgrove.  Phoebe has a bone to pick with the iCarly reboot.  Maddy thinks that all 2020 shows are trash.  They go down a Gen Z TV rabbit hole and conclude everyone is competing for the “most woke award” and missing the point entirely.  Okay… okay buh bye.

Listen to This and Get Rich Quick!

Maddy and Phoebe talk about their failed careers as gymnasts and later, their actual failed careers.  But don't worry, they make themselves feel better by blaming capitalism for everything.  Cults, communism, and MLMs aren't impressing them either.  Really all they want is for someone to knock on their door and ask for a god damn cup of flour like the good ol' days.  And remember, their DMs are always open if you would still trust them to give you good advice after listening to this episode.

The Finer Things Club (what's worth the splurge?)

This week Maddy and Phoebe talk about what things in life they think are worth the splurge. What can you spend a little extra on that will make you feel wealthy and on top of the world? And what just feels like highway robbery? But first, they recap a series of unfortunate events during their family reunion in LA, including but not limited to: a compulsive liar tour guide, a run down pink mini bus, simulations of simulations, and the illuminati.

Our Endometriosis & Infertility Journeys

This week Maddy and Phoebe share their experiences with endometriosis (and adenomyosis) and infertility. Phoebe talks about the long road to an official endo diagnosis - from dismissive doctors and "normal" test results to a specialist that finally took her seriously and did her laparoscopy surgery. Maddy opens up about her infertility journey so far. She talks about why she's not ready to try IVF quite yet and the surprising treatment that's been making a huge difference with her own endo. They wrap up by discussing where they are now and their plans for the future. Instagram: @classlesschaps.podcast@maddy_bru @__phoebe.taylorIntro and outro music written & produced by CJ Essen

Always Get Too Comfortable (Creating Cozy Spaces)

This week Maddy and Phoebe get ultra comfy and chat about creating cozy spaces in your home. They get into their unpopular opinions about minimalism (spoiler: they're bored of it) and talk about how interior design should be more about creating a feeling and less about recreating a viral aesthetic.

famous YouTubers aren’t really strangers + Phoebe’s moving back to the homeland!

The girls play "we're not really strangers" but with a necessary twist... being that we already know everything about each other. But first we chat about a couple life updates. Some 🧳 more serious than others 🫛

20 questions have entered the chat (worst first dates, fairy communes & terrifying similarities)

This week the girls’ significant others have written them a list of 20 questions to answer on the fly.  The questions range from “what are you nostalgic for?” to “what is the ideal shape of ice?”  The episode ends with Maddy and Phoebe having a creepy twin brain moment that might just inspire the next episode.
