We’re talking about the importance of manners out on these dating streets – everything from how someone holds a fork to opening doors to phone behavior at the table to making sure you get home after a date. We have poll results from our audience on what matters/doesn’t matter to them, and we’re sharing dealbreakers, turn-ons, icks, personal stories, and more. Before we dive into the topics, we’re catching up on Rayna’s rendezvous with an ex, Ashley’s latest date, and fresh TV/movie recs. Enjoy!

This week’s episode is about something near and dear to our hearts, careers, and dating lives: Voices. We are joined by actress/screenwriter/voiceover icon Lake Bell to speak on all things voices – why our voice sounds different in our head vs. listening back, regional accents and stigmas, what our voices say about us, why we’re attracted to certain voices, and changing your voice to be more appealing/get something you want/be taken more seriously. And we’re discussing the Sexy Baby voice – what it is, how it became a thing, who’s known for it, and our feelings on it. Before Lake joins us, we’re recapping our latest travels, sharing the most fun thing we’ve ever done at a wedding, and popping off about drag show bans. Enjoy!

We are joined by author/podcaster/former pro athlete Lewis Howes to discuss trauma when it comes to dating, therapy, sex, and more. We dive into why we attract people with trauma, being on a healing journey while you’re dating, the difference between coaching your partner and empowering them, the role of therapy in a relationship, holding off on sex when you first start dating someone, the problem with men not opening up, and the three things you need to know about someone before you enter into a relationship with them.

We're getting wild with our friends (and newly engaged couple) Lauren Riihimaki (aka @LaurDIY) and Jeremy Lewis of Wild ‘Til 9 podcast. We chat about the roller coaster of their dating origin story, Lauren's surprising opening line, trust and privacy, how to feel about your partner's sexual past/hoe phase, and tips for making a relationship work when you live, work, and play together. We also discuss why men tend to drift apart from their friends when they get into relationships when women don't.

It’s our 5-year anniversary episode (!!!) and we’re covering a lot of ground – sharing what we’ve learned over the last half-decade, gushing over our audience, and answering the questions you have about past hookups, our LA move, best/worst/drunkest guests, and much more (YES we are finally spilling the tea on the male escort interview that never aired and why). Then we’re moving into the friendship conversation – the importance and power of the relationships we have with our girlfriends, why and how we should celebrate friends’ accomplishments other than marriages and babies, and friendship meet-cutes (with some tips for making friends). We’re also (randomly) discussing our bad behavior as kids, why we hate a traditional baby/wedding shower, Ashley’s hydration journey update, Rayna’s water quirk, and an astounding/amazing listener message about butt stuff and having kids.

It’s an episode dedicated to something we all (or most of us) have done and aren’t proud of – sabotaging a relationship. We discuss all the ways people sabotage relationships, the reasons we do it, and how to stop, plus we’re sharing our experiences and the saboteur behavior our listeners opened up to us about. Before we get into the topic, we’re breaking down the correlation between chicken wings and blowjobs and recapping another week in LA (spoiler alert: Rayna tripped again, Ashley had to walk out of a workout class).

Coming to you from LA, we are joined by the hilarious Trevor Wallace and Michael Blaustein of Stiff Socks podcast. We’re having an extra uncensored discussion about dick size, the “unique” ways guys masturbate, and porn watching habits. Then they “mansplain” the reasons guys: Watch your Instagram stories after they ghost you, talk about future plans when they don’t want a relationship, always resurface (sometimes after years and years), continue to DM/text you when you don’t respond, and more. Before the guys join us, we’re talking about the routines we already have in LA, Rayna’s hot tub goal, and Ashley’s shocking outdoor shower. Enjoy!
