    This podcast used to be an escape now it’s just political rants. It’s annoying.

  • Rayna has become so unrelatable and stuck up

    It’s been a long time coming but I now find Rayna un-listenable. Really rubbed the wrong way by how much she brags about her money, and this past episode was making jokes about how she hates some of the companies she’s done brand deals with and doesn’t have the integrity to turn down a brand. Now why would we ever believe your endorsements or want to buy from your company when you blatantly lie about products to make money off your listeners…

  • Yikes

    Ashley seriously needs to do some self reflection. We should not be celebrating the death of Lindsey Graham. He is not an equivalent to H**ler.

    At least Raya was able to step in, share her opinion, and not be a completely insensitive crazy person.

  • Curly haired gang

    Love you both, but your hair is straight. There’s no curl there’s no wave. Curly hair is a whole thing and neither of you have it. But love you both and love your hair.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

If This Was Your Last Single Summer feat. Tunde Oyeneyin
Q: What advice would you give to someone pursuing a high-profile career and dating at the same time?
Set clear boundaries, communicate your priorities, and seek partners who support your ambitions and understand the public nature of your work.
If This Was Your Last Single Summer feat. Tunde Oyeneyin
Q: How did you stay motivated after the initial Peloton audition didn't go your way?
I focused on what I could control, kept showing up, and treated the setback as a learning moment, which ultimately helped me perform better the second time around.
What Men Are Thinking When They’re Dating feat. Niko Emanuilidis
Q: How should dating phases unfold from a first date to a committed relationship?
Phases should unfold over roughly 12 weeks, with dates spaced weekly early on, escalating intimacy gradually, and moving toward exclusivity around month and a half to two months depending on mutual signals and readiness.
What You Need to Know About Finding and Keeping Love with Jay Shetty (Re-Release)
Q: How can someone prepare themselves to be open to a healthy relationship?
Jay argues for internal work first—know your personality, values, and goals; build a strong foundation with self-love; and cultivate a life you love so you're not looking for someone to complete you. The conversation emphasizes check-ins with yourself and setting boundaries to protect your heart.
Mom Shaming, Crying Videos, and Not Giving a F*ck with Jackie Schimmel
Q: How do you deal with online criticism about your life choices?
We acknowledge it, but stay true to our values, and selectively listen to feedback that helps us grow without letting it derail our lives.
