We are honored to have clinical psychologist Dr. Orna Guralnik of Showtime’s acclaimed show Couples Therapy join us to talk about conflict within a relationship. We discuss first of all the importance of having differences in a relationship, then get into how to better understand your partner during a fight, what is a fight vs. a discussion and who gets to say, and determining if the conflict is about the actual content or just the delivery. We also discuss what to do when you’re having the same conflict over and over (examples include: household responsibilities, infidelity, having children), the concept of “never go to bed angry,” managing your anger, and apologizing. Before Dr. Orna joins us, we’re catching up on Rayna’s hot neighbor and art gallery crush, Ashley’s nails and new car, and announcing new tour dates. Enjoy!

One of our most popular guests – behavioral scientist, dating coach, and author Logan Ury – is back for another incredible conversation. We’re discussing the feeling of being “undateable” due to family trauma, past relationship baggage, an STI, being a virgin, etc. and how to own your story and share it with a potential partner. Logan breaks down why vulnerability is the primary thing that makes people feel close to you and how to open up more on dates, and we also discuss her experience living on a commune with her partner and all their friends, and the importance of OSOs (other significant others).

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.

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.

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!
