  • Our Last Episode (for now)
    🥺We love this podcast. We love the journey it's taken us on, the lessons it's taught us, and the people we've met making it. 10 year old Becca and Lani didn't know what podcasts were, but we dreamed of making this one. And only 6 short years later, we did it. JK it took us over 20 years, but our wildest dreams came true! We met Clarice Kensington, Jordan Landers, Larry Slotnick, Brigitte from Passport to Paris, Rachel from Winning London, Lyndi from Getting There, the writer of It Takes Two, Mary-Kate and Ashley’s TV & movie dad, an MTV VJ and so many more! We got to revisit our most beloved childhood movies and TV shows. We got to go back in time every week with our favorite twins. We discovered that they were, by every imaginable account, just normal f*cking girls. Best of all, we found the Mary-Kate to our Ashley. And we got to share this all with thousands of others with our same niche obsession, making us feel a little less alone. It really was magical.Which is why this episode, our 100th, is a bittersweet one. Although we could talk about Mary-Kate and Ashley literally forever, we also have to heed their lessons and know when to explore other ventures. And after taking time (more than we expected, very sorry about that), we've decided that time has come.This isn't goodbye forever, but goodbye for now. The era of the (bi)weekly podcast has come to a close, but the episode catalogue will continue to live in this feed and on YouTube. We may even come back to visit when the mic calls ;)We love you all so much. This really has been that cant-eat, cant-sleep, reach-for-the-stars, over-the-fence, world-series kinda stuff. Thank you for making us the two luckiest podcast hosts in the world.Please stay in touch, we'll be around:Instagram: @theythoughtiwasyouTikTok: @theythoughtiwasyouBecca: @beccarothLani: @laniharmsEmail us at: [email protected] the show

  • The Definitive Ranking of Every Mary-Kate and Ashley Movie (Part 1 of 2)
    Since the beginning of this podcast, we knew this day would eventually have to come. We have spent the past 3 years becoming Mary-Kate and Ashley scholars, dissecting every movie front to back, talking to writers, talking to costars, talking to fellow Mary-Kate and Ashley fans, and leaving no stone unturned. And all that work has made us the most qualified two people on the planet to create the definitive ranking of every Mary-Kate and Ashley movie ever made. So we do what must be done. And because we are who we are, we do it in two parts. Since we knew this would be contentious, we approach this incredibly subjective task in the most objective way humanly possible: we score each movie in 10 categories (story, execution, characters, location, boys, fashion, music, vibes, lasting impression & overall), we add up our results, and the movie with the highest scores win. Science would be so proud of us.In this episode, we breakdown their first six movies from To Grandmother's House We Go through Passport to Paris. Next week, we'll give our results of the final 8 movies and reveal our definitive ranking, once and for all.You can watch the video version of this ep, fill out your own score sheet, and get more bonus content by subscribing to our Patreon here.The unfortunate Vogue RankingFollow us!Instagram: @theythoughtiwasyouTikTok: @theythoughtiwasyouBecca: @beccarothLani: @laniharmsEmail us at: [email protected] the show

  • Obsessing over Mary-Kate and Ashley with Madeleine Byrne
    Continuing our trend of talking to people the internet introduced us to, our guest today is a fellow millennial content creator whose viral Mary-Kate and Ashley-related videos constantly pop up on our feeds. When we reached out to her, we learned that she also listens to our podcast, and we felt like we found our long lost doppelgänger at summer camp. We are so thrilled to be joined today by Mary-Kate and Ashley superfan and TikTok/Instagram influencer Madeleine Byrne!We ask Madeleine how she became a Mary-Kate and Ashley fan, which of their movies was her favorite, and which fashion era was the most influential to her. We also talk about Mary-Kate and Ashley's influence on our generation, how much different teen media is now compared to the 2000s, and why Mary-Kate and Ashley were so aspirational to millennials.Madeleine also drops a bombshell about the Mary-Kate and Ashley onscreen boyfriends that she dated IRL (fulfilling every MKA superfan's dreams), and we introduce her to our classic, unhinged game: Mary-Kate or Ashley.You can watch the video version of this ep and get more bonus content by subscribing to our Patreon here.Follow Madeleine!TikTok: @MadeleineByrneInstagram: @MadeleineByrneFollow us!Instagram: @theythoughtiwasyouTikTok: @theythoughtiwasyouBecca: @beccarothLani: @laniharmsEmail us at: [email protected] the show

  • Interview with TRL's Damien Fahey
    A few episodes ago, we talked about Mary-Kate and Ashley’s visit to TRL in 2004 to promote their upcoming film, New York Minute. In that TRL appearance, they were interviewed by a VJ who thought a picture they were in with Robert DeNiro was creepy. We were very confused by this, so we found that VJ on Instagram to get to the bottom of the story, which is why today we are joined by TRL VJ himself, Damien Fahey!We talk to Damien about how he became a VJ on MTV at such a young age, what made him dry heave every morning when he woke up to go to work, and how he became known as the guy who would refuse to go to Jennifer Aniston's birthday party. We of course dig into what he remembers about that fateful interview with Mary-Kate and Ashley in 2004 and why he made that weird comment about Robert Deniro. We also indulge our teenage hearts and ask what a typical day looked like in the life of a 2004 TRL VJ. Spoiler alert: we were not disappointed.We hope this interview sings to your inner pop-culture loving 2000s teenager like it did for us. Sending a HUGE thank you to Damien for coming on our show and not hating us for calling him creepy two months ago <3 You can watch the video version of this ep and get more bonus content by subscribing to our Patreon here.Find us on Social Media!Instagram: @theythoughtiwasyouTikTok: @theythoughtiwasyouBecca: @beccarothLani: @laniharmsDamien: @damienfaheyEmail us at: [email protected] the show
