On today’s episode, we talk about the popular dating term, Fleabagging, with hysterical comedian and podcaster, Ryan Kimble.

Sometimes, Gena's quarantine TikTok obsession pays off and this is one of those times. This week we're joined by the hilarious and lovely Amelia Samson.  In addition to creating hysterical and relatable TikTok content about dating and her sometimes underwhelming experiences on the apps, Amelia is an actress who co-hosts a sex positive podcast (same, girl!) called The Hoely Hour (clever!)  Listen in as we talk about healing from breakups, men doing the absolute least on Hinge and Bumble, and...

Gena and TJ put a bow on the shit show that was 2020 and recap the year, for better or for worse.  We talk love, loss, and...dog anatomy??? (LOL) 2020 might have been tough but at least we can still laugh about it!  Grab a drink and join us in saying goodbye to a year we're never going to forget.

...and not the good kind. If you’re like us, you would have thought COVID would be a distant memory by now as we are almost a year into it. Sadly, that’s not the case and even with the vaccine on the horizon, will we go back to life and dating as we know it in 2021? On today’s episode, Gena and TJ talk about the changes to the dating landscape, good (and warm) date spots this winter that won’t get you muuuurdered (like inviting a stranger to your house for a first date could), and some...

Hi friends! It’s us! Do you remember us? We know it has been a minute, but COVID has hit Chicago hard (us included!) so taping and lining up guests has been tough. Today’s episode is just us...unless you include our antibodies and then that makes the ménage.  TJ and Gena catch up on life, recent heartbreaks, life changes, and random shit. Thanks so much for the continued support! We love you guys!

With the election right around the corner, it seemed relevant to address a topic that has faced many of us as we date.  What should we do about dating someone with different political beliefs?  In this political climate, is that even possible?  Do you think someone having the opposite beliefs is a red flag or deal breaker? Listen in as we discuss this and more! We also talk about Venmo stalking, chance encounters with internet people across Chicago (Hi AR!), Gena's mom's love of QVC, and...

On today's episode, we have our friend, comedian, and one of the best people we know, TJ Stokes! He cohosts a show called Topics On The Streets, with friend of the pod, Darrian Lewis, that Gena will be on coming out Saturday, so we wanted to do a crossover and flip the script! We cover topics such as, is flirting cheating? Is chivalry dead? Do you have a type (hint: Ass. That's all it takes, apparently)... and so much more. Drink everytime you hear the word "backshots." Enjoy!   If you want...

We're back from a three week, foster dog induced, hiatus to talk about the debate (spoiler alert - watch it on edibles), questionable social media habits, boredom swiping, our appearance on the "Doing Time" Podcast with Drew Loryn, TJ's return appearance to stand up, and Gena accuses TJ of editing abuse of power! 

You guuuuys! Today's episode is the first post-quarantine in-person recording in 6 months! We had so much fun taping this episode with Darrian Lewis, co-host of the podcast B Posi+ive: The Chicago Stories and the co-founder of B Posi+ive Productions, that we actually recorded it twice (yay technical difficulties)! Things got weird, guys. We caught up on how TJ's first stand up show went, all things "coochie", period sex, porn, and can men and women really just be friends? Get ready to laugh...

Twice. He actually went to Jared twice. Jhovany Diaz, host of Lobo Den podcast, shares his stories on today's episode about how he was engaged twice, the times he has paid for sex, and hitting his rock bottom in Miami.

On today's episode, we talk to Winnie Hefner in all his non-binary finery. He's host of the podcast Winnie's World, a podcast about what it's like to exist as a non-binary person in today's world. We dive deep into the importance of normalizing pronouns, his and TJ's love of TikTok, how important it is to live your authentic truth, and what it's like when love and sexuality isn't so black and white (OMG! See! See what we did there? Living in the Gray- get it?!? Sometimes we really outdo...

On today's episode we talk to Sara and Sterling Buckley - high school sweethearts turned teen parents. After 17 years and 3 kids together, they started a podcast called Not The Worst Marriage, that may or may not teach you anything other than marriage is hard, but if you are willing to put the work in, you can overcome anything (including infidelity). We talk to them about maintaining your own identity during a relationship, opposite sex friendships (we are a pod divided on this), and how to...

On today's episode, we dig back into the Menage-a-Pod mail bag, or as it's known to women all across the Chicagoland area, TJ's DM's. We are answering questions about dating after a divorce, tackling sex in the time of COVID, FWB's, how soon before you can stop using condoms, and partners with attention hungry animals. What more could you want to hear about on this lovely day besides our voices tickling your eardrums and tackling these burning topics? If you have a question for our next mail...

Loving Day is an annual celebration held on June 12, the anniversary of the 1967 United States Supreme Court decision Loving v. Virginia which struck down all anti-miscegenation laws remaining in sixteen U.S. states. In the United States, anti-miscegenation laws were U.S. state laws banning interracial marriage, mainly forbidding marriage between 2 different races, until the Warren Court ruled unanimously in 1967 that these state laws were unconstitutional. Chief Justice Earl Warren wrote in...
