This week, Cassidy declares summer “officially boring”—no iconic songs, no blockbuster movies, and definitely no vibes… except for the Sydney Sweeney controversy keeping things interesting.

We spiral into where the heck we’re supposed to shop now that department stores are disappearing and racks are emptier than a mall in 2024. JC Penney’s teaming up with Ashley Graham, but will it be the glow-up we need?

Curinne wonders if she should start doing real fashion videos for everyday women (you know, not influencers with endless free clothes). We talk sustainable style, influencer overload, and Torrid’s latest fashion crime: the snake & tribal fleece-lined tights.

Oh—and we wrap it all up with Meryl Streep showing up in Curinne’s dream. Because why not?

It’s hot takes, retail rants, and dream cameos… literally.

Fast fashion is wreaking havoc—and not just on your closet seams. This week on Thicc & Tired, we're breaking down how it’s hurting the plus-size space hard, what the Wall Street Journal had to say about the fall of gentle parenting (yes, FAFO is now a parenting method ), and some fun chaos from our own week.

Plus:
Why fast fashion fails fat bodies
Is gentle parenting… over??
And Curinne may or may not have adopted another animal (spoiler: she did not)

Unfiltered. Unhinged. Unapologetically plus-size. Tap in.

This week on Thicc & Tired, we kick things off with some spicy bridal drama —a fellow bridal shop made a light-hearted, sarcastic little reel about brides shopping without a wedding date… and let’s just say, the internet did NOT take it well. But honestly? We’re on the boutique’s side. It was cute. It was cutesy. But seriously, have. a. wedding. date.

Then we spiral (as always) into pure chaos:
Who would be our celebrity hall pass?
Why is Cassidy trying to spend hundreds on haunted Halloween decor for her front yard like she’s running a theme park?
What even ARE Labuboos, and why do they haunt our dreams??
How did Cassidy’s injury from a few weeks ago turn into a full-blown podcast segment again??
And what’s your celebrity mashup name? Because if we’re not famous yet, we’re manifesting it now.

It's unfiltered, it's unhinged, and it’s got just the right amount of petty. Grab a drink, hit play, and join the mess.

This week on Thicc & Tired, it’s 111° degrees out and we’re basically puddles—but the podcast must go on. Cassidy kicks it off with wedding chaos: a vendor friend survives his first-ever Latin hour set AND witnesses actual dancing robots at a reception. Mid-story, a balloon randomly explodes, Cassidy gets so scared she almost pees, and honestly... same.

We dive into why 1 in 5 couples cancel their wedding (spoiler: other people suck), and why it's crucial to eat something and drink water before your vows. Then we get real about how social media is shadowbanning plus-size creators, calling out the unfairness of what gets flagged, buried, or erased—especially when thinner creators post the same content without issue. Bikinis, hashtags, and body positivity content are all under fire if you're in a bigger body.

Cassidy questions why a size 8 is called a curve model while plus-size creators get silenced, and Curinne’s husband Paul drops in for a surprise cameo just as we spiral into theories on beatboxing (who even starts that?!), a man falling into a 10-foot pit under the Jaws ride, and how Target was Curinne’s favorite job ever. Yes, we cover everything from capitalism to shark attractions to butt sweat.

If you're hot, mad, and sick of the algorithm, you’re in the right place.

This week on Thicc & Tired, we’re podcasting from the depths of a full-blown heatwave, the real feel was 105°, the kids were splashing in the pool, and Cassidy and I were out there sweating and spiraling. ☀️

We start with some real wedding-world tea: I assisted one of our stunning brides get ready on her wedding day, Cassidy coordinated like the pro she is, and I had a full breakdown at an Airbnb bathroom that was too small for basic human function. Like… how are you supposed to wipe if your knees are touching the walls?!

Then we hit the summer icks hard: rogue chin hairs, sweaty boobs, Birkenstocks with unpainted toes (Cassidy is still recovering), and Cassidy’s bizarre method of taking her bra off like a t-shirt. Who raised her?!

We also threw a college bed party for Syd (she’s headed to Hofstra—go Queen!) But like… when did these become a thing? Are we celebrating litrally everything now? Are we doing too much or are we just extra and fabulous?

It’s humid, hilarious, and a little unhinged—just the way we like it. Hit play, and bring a towel.

Welcome back to the Thicc & Tired Summer Series — where the humidity is high, my hair has given up, and apparently, I had the mics backwards the entire time. So if it sounds like we're yelling from across the pool... you now know why ️

This week, we’re talking vacation icks, water park stories, and hotel red flags. Cassidy asked: What’s one vacation you’d never do again? Let’s just say it opened a floodgate of "absolutely nots." Splish Splash? Curinne's personal hell. Cassidy? Not here for summer in general. It’s hot, sticky, and someone’s always sweating through their clothes.

We also talk nail salon etiquette, AGAIN, and yes—(Curinne) fully broke the “don’t talk rule” because she saw someone she knew. Irony, thy name is podcast content. ‍♀️

From swampy summers to weird hotel vibes, this episode is basically a group therapy session for people who hate group vacations. Tune in, stay dry, and keep your mic the right way, babes.

This week on Thicc & Tired, we’re splashing into our Summer Series with unfiltered vibes and some strong opinions, starting with Cassidy’s violent hatred of mayonnaise. Yes, really. From there, it only gets weirder.

We dive into the baby podcast trend (Curinne made AI baby versions of both of us and they’re terrifyingly cute), plus a trip down memory lane with our childhood comfort quirks. Cassidy rocks herself to sleep and Curinne… rubs her nose like she’s clocking out emotionally.

We debate whether our lives would make good reality TV (spoiler: one would be chaos, the other would not be), and we argue over makeup at work, bathroom etiquette, and the proper pronunciation of “women.” Curinne gives Cassidy a crash course and you already know how that turned out..

It’s poolside energy, unfiltered friendship, and unhinged stories as always. ️

Welcome to the Thicc & Tired Summer Series, now coming to you poolside from Curinne’s backyard, where the vibes are hot and the opinions are hotter. ☀️

This week, we’re talking about the comeback of the decade: Hailey Page is back, and we’re hoping to see her new line in the shop by August! Cue the champagne and the bridal squeals.
But don’t worry, the chaos doesn’t stop there.

We also deep-dive into the new Skims bra that comes with built-in nipple piercings (yes… really), and Curinne shares how her latest Torrid haul gave big SHEIN energy and not in a good way.
Then we get real about friendships: the ones who check in vs. the ones who only show up when they need something. Getting older means realizing not everyone is a real friend and we’re tired of pretending.

Oh, and a PSA for the workplace: stop texting “K.” It’s not chill. It’s not professional. It’s passive-aggressive and we hate it.

Tune in for bridal joy, questionable bras, fake friends, and the most extra poolside energy we’ve ever recorded. ️
