Celebrity Mom Group Gate & K Pop Demon Hunters

Stassi and Alex Stafford are back together for a full-circle catch-up that starts with a very overdue Happy Birthday to anyone who celebrated during the holiday break. They revisit Alex’s nomad era (and the “spaghetti martini” moment that delivered her boyfriend), then jump into Hartford’s fifth birthday party—K-Pop Demon Hunters theme and Stassi officially cementing herself as one of the best birthday-throwing moms out there. From there it’s Mom Gate: Ashley Tisdale’s recent essay, Hilary Duff + Mandy Moore alliance energy, the now-deleted husband post that said everything, and friend breakups without the drama.

Stassi's Nightmare Weekend & Georgi's Romantic LA Dreams

Stassi is joined by her sister Georgi as the two settle into having family closer than ever, jumping straight into a rough weekend at home where kids being kids turn the night into a full sanitation emergency—one that leaves Stassi battling an incoming case of pink eye with Papa Strecker stepping in to save the day. From there, they get into Georgi’s fresh chapter in LA, how hard it is to start over at 30, what she really wants (love, stability, and a romance-novel kind of life), Stassi’s no-BS advice on work and building the life she wants, a psychic reading from Chris Medina that hits close to home, and Wuthering Heights premiere plans, outfit coordination, and why the night already feels iconic.

Introducing STASSI with Tay!

Stassi officially launches a brand-new era of the podcast—Stassi with Tay—with bestie Taylor Strecker stepping in as her full-time co-host, and the duo is already leveling up with the show now on Netflix. Then it’s straight into real life: Tay is four weeks into new parenthood—fully in “dad mode”—shoveling snow, surviving night nurses, navigating mom guilt vs. dad guilt, and sharing the sweet story behind their baby’s name. Of course, it wouldn’t be them without some girl talk and gossip, including reality TV takes, Taylor Swift love, and a juicy dive into the messy Beckham family drama with Brooklyn, Nicola, and Victoria.

Red Carpet Alter Egos, Pop Culture Catch Up & Curating IG Carousels in Labor

Stassi and Tay are officially settling into their Stassi with Tay era—and yeah, it kind of feels like the whole world is watching. Taylor fully leans into “dad mode” with a hilariously relatable (and slightly unhinged) confession she drops on Stassi about the one thing she had to finish… while her wife was literally in labor. Meanwhile, Stassi breaks down her nonstop red carpets—why it’s not rude to be early, the too-tight gown that almost caused a nip-slip—plus a rave about the Wuthering Heights premiere and Margot Robbie completely stealing the show. Finally, the girlies dish out their hot takes on Blake vs. Justin and dive headfirst into the Hilary Duff vs. Ashley Tisdale mom-group mess.

Wine First. Bad Bunny After. Everything Makes Sense

Stassi and Taylor are finally back in the same room recording without headphones and immediately feel weirdly naked about it. Tay flies in sick but still commits to a very responsible girls’ wine night (because priorities), which turns into parent-life chats about kids clocking your wine breath, newborn cuteness rankings (who says 7.8?!), and the universal truth that every child — and adult — goes through at least one painfully awkward phase. Cue Taylor making boys look at her baby pictures and Stassi’s full Girls Gone Wild era. They wrap on pure good vibes with the Bad Bunny halftime show so joyful it has them crying, dancing, and remembering there’s still hope — and love wins.

Lose the Filters, Keep the Delusion

Stassi and Tay are back and officially entering the Year of the Fire Horse — which apparently comes with rules: no cleaning, no trash, no showers… wait, what? Tay leans all the way into manifesting with her red-string bracelet and fully channeling her inner boss energy, while Stassi shares the perfectly meant-to-be vintage snake pinky ring moment that feels like pure fate. From there, it’s all about the real secret to leveling up: delusional confidence, always. They get into the Blake-and-Justin matching-outfits conspiracy and Stassi’s new decree for 2026 — filters are out, authenticity is in.

70 min

A Birthday Blizzard, Top Model Memories, and Reality TV Truths

Stassi checks in on Taylor, whose birthday gets buried under a snowstorm and nonstop shoveling, basically confirming all future celebrations need to be somewhere tropical. From there it turns into laughs about influencer life, the chaos of PR packages, and a retro dinner-party fantasy complete with Taylor’s go-to meatloaf, a Yule log, and the kind of bizarre old-school food trends that really should’ve stayed in the past. Then they dive into the very real experience of growing up on America’s Next Top Model, including why Tyra’s documentary interview left them both frustrated and fascinated. They wrap with a big-picture chat about reality TV, why it still matters, and the people who helped shape it.

Taylor is the Miu Miu to Stassi’s Prada

Mom guilt, red strings, Chanel loafers, and a possible Jim Carrey clone — this week covers it all. With both kids under the weather, Stassi and Taylor take some much-needed mom time to vent before getting into their very different shopping styles, Stassi’s designer shoe tendencies versus Tay’s bang-for-your-buck flair, plus Taylor admitting she still feels a little guilty for selling Stassi her shoes years ago. Stassi wasn’t sold on the red string, but after Beau’s very good week, she’s officially paying attention. They get into the Jim Carrey clone conspiracy and catch up on Love Story and why Carolyn Bessette’s style still has the internet talking.

Disney Magic, Internet Trolls, and Bad Moms Day

Stassi and Tay are back doing their favorite thing - the Monday catch-up. Stassi recaps her full, exhausting-but-fun Disneyland day and the very intense toddler swim teacher who basically runs a boot camp for two-year-olds. While Taylor realizes her red-string obsession might actually need to become a business. From there they get into Taylor’s first real parent hangover and the very serious debate of whether moms should get two Mother’s Days. Then the convo shifts to internet hot takes - Housewives of New York drama, trolling culture, and the Timothée Chalamet backlash, before Taylor shares the one parenting hack she swears by: the baby “happy song” that somehow works every time.

Trying So Hard… Still the Non-Preferred Parent

Stassi and Taylor kick things off talking fashion—Taylor’s all in on the new Abercrombie while Stassi isn’t totally convinced yet. They catch up on life, from Stassi heading to New York and feeling mom guilt about leaving Beau and the kids, to the humbling reality of being the non-preferred parent. After baby Beau happily coos for everyone except her, the two bond over how rough it is when you’re trying your best and still not the favorite.

A Perfect Baby, Plane Judgements, and Sexy Time After Marriage

Stassi is in New York with Taylor, soaking up some quality bestie time- and finally meeting Taylor’s daughter, Baby Beau, for the first time… who just happens to be the chillest baby ever. They get into how not all babies are built the same, the return of low-rise jeans (Stassi’s fully committing), and swap hilarious airplane stories and etiquette debates. Plus, they talk about being judged by their own kids (who definitely prefer them with makeup on), the reality of making parent friends, and what actually happens to relationships after kids - sleep shifts, changing dynamics, and honest conversations about sex.

A Mean Girls Moment, a Little Jealousy, and Great Shoes

Stassi and Tay are back, and this one starts with Taylor’s horror over realizing no one ever told her her feet have been in the shot since day one of the podcast… and yes, now on Netflix too. From there they get into Instagram carousel politics, Manhattan memories, and the inside-joke prank Stassi and Lucho pulled on Taylor that had her fully spiraling. Then the convo shifts into jealousy, feeling left out, not wanting people to copy your style, men on reality TV obsessing over Pilates, and why talking about Summer House feels different when Stassi has actually lived in that world.

Family Boundaries, Country Club Holidays, and Breaking Girl Code

Stassi and Taylor are back, and because they record on Mondays, the biggest story of last week, Ciara and West, dropped right after they wrapped. They get into the latest Summer House fallout, Mormon Wives, friendship betrayal, and girl code, before moving on to something just as serious: Stassi realizing she may actually want country club life. From there it’s Aperol spritzes, country club salads, tantrum hacks involving the name “Jessica,” and Taylor finding out her in-laws basically have 24/7 access to the baby monitor.
