Coming off last week’s Love Island recap, Jaci and Chelsey are craving all the sizzling summer romance. They asked you to send in your favorite summer fling stories, and you absolutely delivered. We’re talking sneaking away with your secret vacation man every summer for years (yes, years), flying across the world to visit that dreamy beach boy studying abroad in hopes he finally gets the hint to put a ring on it, and one we’ve all secretly dreamed about: the hot guy walking down the airplane aisle, only to stop… and take the seat right next to you. Summer is officially heating up, ladies. ☀️💕

Jaci and Chelsey have heard your cries for their thoughts on the current season of Love Island USA, and they’re finally here. The girls kick things off by breaking down the villa after Casa Amor turned everything upside down. Almost every relationship (if you could even call it that) is hanging by a thread, so there’s lot’s to discuss! Then they move into something just about every boy on that show could use: an advice column. Listeners wrote in asking for help with husbands hitting on them, debating whether moving back in with your parents is the right move, and—surprise!—another garbage husband who just can’t stop killing the vibe.

This week on the What We Said Podcast, Jaci and Chelsey are sharing listener submissions about wedding days that went up in flames. No, like literally—one of the weddings actually caught on fire. The rest are metaphorical: heinous comments from in-laws on the day of the ceremony, getting ostracized for not going into debt to attend a destination wedding, being fat-shamed by the bridal seamstress, and bridesmaids treating the wedding like Love Island. If you’ve got a wedding coming up, tune in for a few tips on how to keep your big day from crashing and burning. And if you don’t have one coming up, you should still listen, you might just learn how not to ruin someone else’s (looking at you MILs).

Home sweet home. This week, the girls finish recapping their Italy trip, and let’s just say the travel chaos wasn’t quite over yet. Chelsey gets stranded again, done dirty by the London airport for a second time before finding herself stuck in Dallas too. Jaci also falls victim to the London airport, but manages to turn the setback into bonus vacation time with an extended stay in Italy and a stop in Denmark. Once they finally touch down stateside, it’s time for June Favorites. The girls share everything they’ve been loving lately, including music from a new fav pop artist, shoe recommendations, a few beauty finds (featuring eye patches + a face mask that are truly the best) and more! If you’re looking for your next summer obsession, this episode has plenty of contenders.

The girls are back at it again, coming to you from their Italian villa. This week, they’re sharing their summer must-haves, do’s, eats, and sees. You’ll notice some are heavily inspired by their current vacation, like hanging laundry out to dry in the open air, and then some wild cards, like unique ice molds and fresh recipes to keep you feeling refreshed and healthy all summer long. Maybe this week you can tune in from your patio, or on a towel in the grass at the park, and properly kick off your summer with the What We Said Podcast. This year it's all about getting out and soaking up the sun!

Ciao from Italy! Jaci and Chelsey are finally reunited in Capri — but not before a series of very unfortunate events. The girls are recapping their Euro summer adventures so far, and much like the island they’re recording from, the trip has come with some very high highs and some sea-level lows. Chelsey shares the saga of getting stranded at London Heathrow (worst airport ever?) and how she eventually managed to make the most of an unexpected detour, while Jaci reflects on her picturesque time in the Cotswolds and all the charm of the English countryside. They also compare notes on traveling internationally with young kids, navigating the inevitable hiccups along the way, and their first impressions of Capri together. Despite the travel chaos, these two Valley girls are living and loving life together in Italy. Now somebody pass the pasta…

 This week, the girls are planning their dream Italian summer vacation. Chelsey shares what she’s most excited about as her family heads to Tuscany, while Jaci reveals an extra stop on her itinerary in the Cotswolds, a storybook region in the English countryside, before the families reunite in Capri. They get into the fears of traveling internationally with kids for the first time, how they’re approaching a destination that isn’t exactly known for being stroller-friendly, and the challenge of packing outfits that are both fashionable and practical. Later, the girls recap their Salt Lake City tour stop and reflect on an unforgettable night with the Valley girls, who absolutely showed up and showed out. Thank you to everyone who came and enjoyed the evening with us on our one and only live show of 2026!

Don’t worry, things end on a much sweeter note with a heartwarming reunion that feels straight out of a movie. Along the way, the girls share their thoughts on navigating relationships without losing your closest friends, and on the Summer House reunion for all the Bravo girls.

In this episode, we’re creating our ultimate Summer Bucket List and talking about how we want this season to feel—not just what we want to do. We discuss living more analog (or at least a lot less digital), slowing down, finding inspiration in everyday activities, and creating a summer that feels intentional and beautiful. From building seasonal color palettes to watching nostalgic summer movies, picking the perfect pair of sunglasses, and enjoying classics like the fair, we share the little things that make summer special. If you’re craving a slower, more inspired summer filled with creativity and meaningful experiences, this episode is for you. It’s gonna be a What We Said summer girls!!

This week, the girls are back for another monthly advice column and covering everything from friendship dynamics and bridal/baby shower burnout to pregnancy body image and baby timing expectations. Chelsey gives advice on a question about dealing with the mental side of watching your body change (as she is actively going through it), while Jaci shares thoughts on showing up for your friends without feeling resentful or drained. They dive into listener dilemmas about one-sided friendships, social obligations, boundaries, dating expectations, and the pressure to always be the “good friend” even when your social battery is fully dead. Don’t forget: there’s at least one man in every episode doing something very, very wrong. At least he’ll have the honor of having this episode named after the situation he caused.
