Better Half with Stas & Vic is like a chic members-only club disguised as a show — and yes, your name’s on the list. Hosted by Stas Karanikolaou and Victoria Villarroel, this is where you'll find unfiltered opinions, debrief last night's adventures & have “should we even be saying this?” conversations. Every Wednesday, Stas and Vic talk life, love, pop culture, friendships, and whatever else would normally stay between best friends (and their shared Notes app). Friends pop in, tea gets spilled, and nothing is too serious. Think of Better Half as the group chat you’re obsessed with, the after-party you didn’t leave, and the inside joke you actually get. See you soon!

Introducing: Better Half with Stas & Vic

This week, we’re joined by our close friend, entrepreneur, and star of The Girls, Yris Palmer!

Yris opens up about the hustle that got her to where she is today—from building Star Lash and getting involved with SEV to learning how to navigate success while still wanting the people around her to thrive too. We talk about how we all became friends, why Yris believes there’s room for everyone to win, and the importance of having women around you who genuinely want to see you succeed. From hustling and building businesses to friendship, motherhood, representation, and love, this is Yris like you haven’t heard her before.

our next guest needs no introduction… but to us, she’s just our best friend. Stas has known Kylie since 2009, and Victoria actually used to work for her—which is how we met. today, we’re skipping the Kylie everyone thinks they know and getting into the Ky we know and love. we’re talking her love for cats, what really happened at her birthday party, her Knicks wardrobe, the infamous laptop story, and why the internet thinks we secretly hate each other.

basically, it’s less of an interview and more of a best-friend catch-up. welcome to the group chat x
