First Date: Etiquette, Safety, and Expecting the Unexpected
In part two of our First Date Series, we're talking about what actually goes down during the date. From unspoken expectations to red flag radar, we're breaking it all down. We cover safety, first impressions, surprising green flags, and telling some stories along the way that may or may not have anything to do with the subject at hand because, well, that's what we do.
This is the kind of conversation you'd want in your ear while getting ready for your next date...or recovering from the last one. If hearing our stories elicits a bit of fear but also a bit of excitement, then we're doing something right!

Quick & Questionable: Episode #1
Welcome to Quick & Questionable—our short, off-the-cuff episodes that drop in between our regularly scheduled deep dives. These bite-sized episodes are where we ditch the script, embrace the chaos, and talk about literally whatever’s on our minds. Expect the unexpected, the ridiculous, and the conversations you didn’t know you needed.
This time, we’re bringing you “Girls’ Night Debrief”—aka how a simple brunch plan spiraled into a full-fledged adventure (and by “adventure,” we mean questionable decisions, excellent stories, and maybe a mild hangover). It all started with Mary Nelle’s birthday brunch… and, well, let’s just say things unraveled from there.

First Date Prep: Expectations, Effort, and Questionable Choices
Before the date even happens, there’s a whole process that goes into deciding if it’s worth saying yes. In this episode-the first of our three-part First Date Breakdown Series-we’re talking about what goes into preparing for a first date: how we decide if we’re going, what we expect from pre-date communication, and the effort it takes for a woman to get ready (spoiler: it’s a lot).
Plus, we’re introducing our brand-new segment, “We Have Thoughts, But No Credentials,” where we give our completely unqualified advice on listener-submitted questions. Will you want to take our advice? Maybe. Will it be entertaining? Absolutely.
Buckle up, because we’re just getting started—next up, the actual date!

Foreplay: The Real MVP
Foreplay: the unsung hero of a good time. In this episode, we’re diving into why it actually matters - especially for women - and how those needs differ from men. We’re talking about timing (spoiler: it starts way before the bedroom), physical foreplay, and the mental and emotional buildup that makes it all better.
Some of our stories may be titillating, some may be downright hilarious, but all of them prove that foreplay is not just an optional step. Plus, we’re bringing back our speed round with foreplay fails, because sometimes things don’t go as planned… and sometimes they go horribly wrong.
Let’s talk about it - because when it comes to foreplay, getting it right makes all the difference.

New Year, Same Pressure: Body Image and the Weight of Expectations
It’s January, the season of New Year’s resolutions - and let’s be real, a lot of those tend to focus on our bodies. In this episode, we’re diving into the complex world of body image: the pressures we feel, the standards society sets, and the paths many of us take, including weight loss journeys, GLP-1 medications, and even plastic surgery.
We’re sharing our personal stories, tackling topics like body dysmorphia and societal expectations, and asking the big questions about how we can learn to love and accept ourselves.
Trigger warning: This episode includes discussions of weight loss, body dysmorphia, and plastic surgery, which may be sensitive for some listeners. Your well-being comes first, so feel free to skip this one if needed.
Let’s have an honest conversation about the relationship we all have with our bodies.

You know that moment when someone does something so small but so specific, and suddenly all your interest vanishes? Yep, that’s the ick. In this episode, we’re diving into the hilariously awkward world of dating icks—the little things, and maybe some bigger ones, that make us cringe, roll our eyes, or run for the hills.
We’re sharing our own experiences, swapping stories, and laughing through the absurdity of it all. Whether you’re guilty of an ick, been on the receiving end, or just love the drama, this episode will have you nodding along, laughing, and maybe even feeling a little called out. Let’s talk about it!
