  • Sad state of affairs

    I was eager to tune into a NY based dating pod but I quickly discovered this is bad behavior under the guise of “girl code” confessions that is actually spirit draining and leaves little hope to our society. I hope men aren’t listening to this and thinking we’re all cheaters or delusional independent women who can’t hold down a relationship worth respect or love.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

It Girl Syndrome
Q: How did you first discover Jane Birkin? What were your early impressions of her?
She was before our time, but I encountered her through nostalgic platforms like Tumblr, where beautiful women were shared through images.
Of Monsters and Men
Q: How you get them is how you lose them. Do we believe this? What are our experiences?
It's about recognizing that the same qualities that attract you to someone can also drive you apart.
Love Letters
Q: Can two people who clearly love and care about each other but can't seem to get the timing right ever build a real friendship?
It's possible, but it may require cutting ties at first to allow for personal growth. They might need a cold turkey approach to fully move on before reestablishing a healthy friendship.
Love Letters
Q: Is balancing the pragmatism of a good relationship versus the fantasy of what could be typical in relationships today? How do we stay grounded?
Many people face a scarcity mindset in dating, leading to unrealistic expectations. It's crucial to focus on true compatibility, communication, and being grounded rather than letting fantasies overshadow the realities of relationships.
Third Mike ft. CFCF Music
Q: Can you remain friends with an ex?
I think so, but it depends on how frequently you need to see them afterwards.
