Travis & Emma•rss.com

Travis & Emma made a podcast. No one asked for it, but here we are. We're two best friends who just won't shut up.

bestie approved is what happens when two unfiltered best friends talk into microphones and invite you into the beautiful chaos of their friendship. Hosted by Travis and Emma (former finance bros turned content creators and certified messes), this weekly podcast is a love letter to pop culture, authentic friendship, complaining, and all the things we don’t understand (like health insurance, the ocean, and why superglue doesn’t work the way you would expect).

We overshare. We spiral. We lovingly roast each other and the world around us. From pregnancy brain and kindergarten crafts to Real Housewives deep dives and jokes about strokes, every episode blends humor, heart, and unhinged honesty. Come for the gossip. Stay for the vibes. New episodes every week. Keep it bestie approved! 🫶🏽

ruined engagements and the secret life of Arby's coupons

This week on Bestie Approved , Travis and Emma are feeling the love and the drama. Emma shares a pregnancy update (hello, baby avocado! 🥑), but also gets candid about body image struggles and the weird early bump zone where everyone thinks you just went to a buffet. Meanwhile, Travis has a bone to pick with tandem bikes and Valentine’s Day (spoiler: he hates both). The besties lovingly argue their way through the chaos, of course. Then things get juicy. A viral TikTok meltdown over an engagemen...

one of the bedbugs ate my podcast title.

This week’s episode is pure chaos in the best way possible. Travis and Emma are back with your favorite combo of pop culture commentary, deeply unserious opinions, and a little moral outrage. First up: CupcakKe’s new track, It’s iconic. It’s unhinged. It’s art. Travis and Emma break down their favorite (insane) lyrics and give CupcakKe her flowers as the lyrical genius she is. Then it’s time to complain, obviously. From waiting behind a soda-fueled van-load of children at Swig to the rise of the...

Smurf hormones, billionaire breakups, AI therapy, and wagon wheel watusi.

This week, Travis and Emma are diving deep into the weird, the wild, and the wildly unhinged- from pregnancy side effects turning toilet seats blue to Elon Musk’s chaotic spiral into MAGA meltdown territory. Emma shares a hilariously alarming pregnancy symptom that leads to an unexpected ChatGPT diagnosis. Travis unpacks the unravelling bromance between Elon Musk and Donald Trump…and he couldn’t help but wonder, was the Tesla titan’s political gamble worth it? The besties commiserate over expens...

Bethenny Frankel is Travis’s hero and Target betrayed us

🏳️‍🌈 Happy Pride Month, besties! This week we’re talking about why changing your own oil is hot but not for us and how yoga teachers can read your soul. From Bethenny Frankel’s Sports Illustrated moment (and her immaculate honey brown hair) to Target’s depressing DEI backslide, we’re spiraling in every direction. Travis shares his first (and possibly last) yoga class, we dissect the Moana in-flight entertainment, and Emma educates us on the wild world of $7,000 Labubu dolls. Also in this episo...

not our first rodeo

Welcome back, besties! In this week’s episode, Travis and Emma dive headfirst into the chaos of adulthood, pregnancy updates, first jobs, and the baffling scam that is American healthcare. We ask the big questions: Why does health insurance feel like a trap? When did we realize adulthood was a scam? Do babies think… and what is thinking anyway? Why is the Titanic still in the news? And are old wives’ tales just misogyny in disguise? Emma updates us on week 11 of her pregnancy (yes, Travis did in...

the soft launch no one asked for

In our very first episode, we attempt to soft launch this podcast with all the professionalism of a cardboard car held together by super glue. Join us at the beginning of a journey that might be the greatest (or most unhinged) friendship experiment in human history. We cover the origin story of bestie approved , why stay-at-home dads are treated like saints, how to identify your suburban mom era through hot glue gun purchases, and why Travis once asked if he needed to take off his shoes at a hos...
