Au Revoir Lalie!

Twenty-five years ago, Troy Nankin gave Holly her first taste of Hollywood when she was an intern at BWR. Now he's sitting in her dining room, and somehow she's still a little nervous.Troy has spent decades working with some of the biggest names in the business, first as a publicist and later as a manager and producer. But what makes Troy so special has very little to do with Hollywood. The two get into the business, the people, the relationships, and the unexpected ways life takes shape. And because one episode wasn't nearly enough, consider this Part I of their two-picture deal.Connect with Troy on Insta Connect with Us on Insta 

It's spooky season, the veil is thin, and the weirdos are living it up. This week, we welcome Montclair local and friend, Vanessa Lane, a self-proclaimed weirdo, mother of three, and woman who has fully embraced her inner witch. Holly and Vanessa met five years ago in a women's moon circle (as one does), and have since developed a love for each other as well as astrology and tarot and all things woo-woo. From the magic of female friendships to the identity crisis of motherhood, the invisible labor of being a woman, the strange ways grief lives in our bodies, and the signs we receive from people we've lost...this is a conversation about finding your voice, trusting your gut, and maybe giving yourself permission to be a little weird. Because as Vanessa reminds us, witches are simply women who trust themselves.Check out Vanessa on TikTok Our incredible teacher Connie Viglietti  One of our fav astrologers Chani Nicholas Untamed Insights Oracle Deck by Taryn Weitzman  

Cousin Jeff is back, and this time with some sage advice: take the shot.Sometimes the best memories come from the things you probably shouldn’t be doing in the first place. Watching the movie you might be too young to see. Betting on the horses with your father at the track. Or just growing up in North Jersey, where everything somehow fell off a truck and you learned not to ask too many questions. That was what we knew.But this one is also about getting older, feeling a little listless and trying not to let life become too repetitive. Because the good old days are usually only called that once they’re over…..so maybe the move is to recognize them while you’re still in them.Take the shot. See the movie. Go to the concert. Do something you haven’t done before. Make the memory. Even if sometimes the memory is losing a pickleball game 15–1.Connect with US on insta  

After taking the summer off, we’re back and there is A LOT to catch up on. With August and summer officially over, we chat about our trip overseas for a family wedding, babies and the selective memory that comes with having kids. Also, is carrying your luggage on really a win? We say no….. But with September 11th marking three years since losing our brother, this time of year also comes with a heaviness that never really goes away. Recognizing that we each felt Adam with us in Italy, we imagine exactly where he would have fit into the wedding festivities and realize all the unexpected ways he continues to show up as our relationships with him somehow keep evolving. And somewhere between the summertime sadness, the end-of-summer blues and our collective grief, we realized something…..what if these are he good times? And what if, for once, we actually know it while going thru it?

Meet Lalie. She's French. She makes an exceptional cheese board, believes dinner should never be rushed, watched 14 seasons of Grey's Anatomy in two months, and spent the last two years helping raise my daughters. She came here as our au pair and left as family. Before heading home to Amiens, France, we sat down to talk about leaving home in your twenties, the American Dream, and why everything in France is just better. But somewhere along the way, I was reminded that sometimes the people who arrive after the hardest chapter of your life can still help you carry it. À bientôt, Lalie.

No one was a bigger Knicks fan than our brother Adam. So when the Knicks finally won their first championship in 53 years, there was no way we weren't coming together to celebrate. The Knicks are champions. We still can't quite believe we're typing those words. In this episode, we're talking about a win that felt bigger than basketball. The hope. The city. The joy. A team that truly feels like a family. And the way an entire fan base that has waited decades for this somehow came together all at once. We also talk about Adam. Because there was no way to experience this moment without thinking about him. And while we wish he were here, neither of us can shake the feeling that he was. Maybe that's grief. Maybe that's faith. Maybe it's just what happens when something this magical finally comes true. This one's for Adam. And for every Knicks fan who waited their whole life for this moment. Go New York. Go New York. Go. 🧡💙

Knicks in the Finals…..Cousin Jeff on the mic…..no notes. This week, it’s just Holly and CJ—talking ‘94, Madison Square Garden, and the energy of New York then vs now…..and why this run feels different (in a good way…..and a hard way). We get into family, Syrian grandmothers, busting balls as a love language, and why sports somehow ends up being the glue for everything. And yeah…..we talk about Adam. What it’s like watching this without him and the weird way something like this can bring you back to people you’ve lost. So let's GO orange and blue. NY Forever. Always Knicks.

There are some people you meet in life who just feel different. Ro is one of them. She came into Adam’s life in 2021, and it’s no surprise she was the one who had his heart. She’s truly one of a kind. Someone special, funny, strong AF… and someone who shows up in a way that changes the people around her. This conversation is about them. How they met, the fun they had, the concerts, the trips and the random moments that made it all feel so easy. It’s also about who she is. And why we all love her. We learned a lot from Ro. We still do. And we’re all better because of her.

This Friday marks two years of Going Thru It… and it’s Adam’s birthday. So this week, we did what felt right. We sat down with three of the people who knew him best. Christopher Salviano. Zak Kaslow. Jonathan Collazo. Three friends. Three completely different relationships. Three versions of Adam that somehow all feel exactly the same. We talk Jersey childhood memories, Knicks games, college roommates, camp chaos, and the very specific things that made Adam Adam....from warm soda and Tupac loyalty to obsessive hyper-fixations, inside jokes, and a sense of humor that not everyone got… but the right people really did. More than anything, this episode is about friendship. The kind that spans decades. The kind that shows up in the big moments and the completely mundane ones. The kind that doesn’t go anywhere. And the kind that, even now, still feels very much alive.

No guest. No agenda. Just a long overdue catch-up. Holly's in Hawaii.... but it's rained nonstop, the power's out and we've somehow been to the movies three times already. We talk Jill's London trip without Luca and what it actually looks like to step back into your "old life." There's a little bit of everything - plus Survivor chaos, Oscars discourse and why Holly's algorithm is currently all cancer, all the time. No plan. Just a proper catch-up.
