Can Dave Guess These New Dating Terms and Trends? w/ Celebrity Matchmaker Alessandra Conti
Jaydi was recently quoted in an article about a new dating trend and used a term Dave had never heard before. And a new podcast idea was born.
Here Jaydi teams up with celebrity matchmaker Alessandra Conti, co-founder of Matchmakers In The City and the dating expert featured on Access Hollywood and The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, to quiz Dave on terms like Ghostlighting, Caspering, Shreking, Chalant, and more. Dave tries his best to not sound completely out of touch, while Jaydi and Alessandra share their expert takes on where these trends came from, whether they’re actually healthy or harmful, and the best way to handle them in the real world.

Living in a Materialists World: Our Take on The Matchmaking Movie
In this episode, Jaydi and Dave use the new film Materialists as a vehicle to discuss relationship advice. From Past Lives writer and director Celine Song, the film stars Dakota Johnson as a high-end matchmaker juggling her elite clients and her own messy love life. Jaydi opens up about what the film gets right about the matchmaking industry, what it misses completely, and why most of the online conversation is focused on the wrong questions. A good listen, even if you’ve never seen the film!

The Rules w/ Heather and Terry Dubrow
In 2018, we went on a double date with Heather and Terry Dubrow — best known from The Real Housewives of Orange County and Botched — to celebrate two big milestones: Terry and Dave had just sold a show, and we had just gotten engaged. That night, they shared great stories about their courtship, Terry’s proposal, and gave us marriage advice we’ve carried with us ever since. Now that we’re married with a three-year-old, we invited them back to share those stories with you and offer some wisdom for this next chapter. Plus, they revisit a fun debate about their courtship and whether Heather was actually following The Rules, the bestelling 90s dating book by Ellen Fein and Sherrie Schneider.
