Dating today can feel like a grab bag: monogamy, polyamory, open relationships, friends with benefits, even lavender marriages. We’ve sampled the spectrum, lived through some wild chapters, and come out choosing “modern traditional”—a partnership built on exclusivity, clear roles, and mutual respect, without giving up autonomy, careers, or a voice at home. Think: you cook, I’ll do the dishes; you fix the car, I’ll pack the lunch; we both show up, and we both have a say.

We open with the terms people toss around—polyamory versus polygamy, open dynamics, beard relationships—and then get personal. One of us has a family history of polygamy that shaped how we view choice and consent. The other navigates widowhood and co‑parenting in a culture that moves fast and judges faster. From there we dig into asexual seasons after bad relationships, why kissing is an underrated compatibility test, and how great sex can blur boundaries while bad sex can erode a good match. We’re honest about friends with benefits, why it so often tilts lopsided, and how to stop mistaking chemistry for commitment.

Our practical takeaways are simple and sturdy. Try the 90‑day rule to see past the honeymoon gloss—most façades crack by eight weeks. Watch patterns, not promises: communication, effort, consistency. Set roles you both actually want; split work by strengths; keep space for separate hobbies while making each other the clear priority. We don’t think masculinity is toxic by default, and we’re not reenacting the 1950s. We’re aiming for a relationship you can live in every day, where attention is obvious, intimacy is mutual, and decisions are shared.

If you’re rethinking your relationship style or ready to align your values with your dating choices, this one’s for you. Hit play, share it with a friend, and tell us where you land. Subscribe for more candid, unfiltered conversations, and leave a review to help others find the show.

ENCORE EPISODE RECORDED 1/12/21

Start with a laugh, stay for the honesty. We take a candid tour through the world of boobs—how asymmetry is normal, why fitness often shrinks volume, and what actually happens when you choose implants. From puberty hopes and pregnancy curveballs to post-baby realities, we unpack the expectations that shape how women feel in their skin. Then we get practical about surgery: choosing a qualified surgeon over a bargain, sizing with restraint, understanding incision options, and why warranties and the 10-year mark matter more than most people think.

Our guest, David (@dm.shoots2), is a photographer who’s seen more varieties of breasts than most doctors’ brochures. He breaks down what looks natural on camera, how placement and material affect the final look on lean bodies, and the truth about “cheap” work that leads to shelf lines and rippling. We compare saline deflation to silicone’s slower leaks, debate over-the-muscle vs under-the-muscle, and talk capsular contracture, recovery discipline, and the surprising ways clothing and confidence shift after surgery.

There’s a creator economy angle too. Social platforms push tame versions of boudoir while real demand lives on OnlyFans and Patreon. We talk licensing, exclusivity, and how photographers and models build ethical, profitable systems that respect consent, comfort, and creative control. Through it all, one theme holds: every breast is unique. Even with the same surgeon and implant, bodies tell their own stories. The winning strategy is choosing the look that fits your life—natural slope or full projection, subtle side boob or bold upper pole—and owning it without apology.

Ever wonder what your year in music says about your actual life? We dive into our stats and instantly hit a fork in the road: one of us is a pop punk lifer (Alkaline Trio, Sum 41, Paramore), the other a card-carrying rave kid with a soft spot for hip hop and a surprisingly cozy country streak thanks to car rides with the kids. Along the way, sourdough crunch ASMR makes a cameo, and so does the most honest truth of all: your platform and your day-to-day routines decide what really plays.

We compare Apple Music and Spotify quirks, talk about how minutes listened can lie when you sample thousands of tracks, and laugh at how a single 36-song album can dominate a season because it’s safe for the school pickup line. Genres become a mood map: dance and electronic for the gym, hip hop to keep energy up, alternative rock for everything in between, plus unexpected oldies and folk-rock detours with Lord Huron and The Cranberries. We also get into the Euphoria soundtrack effect, why full albums still matter, and how teaching workout classes quietly skews top songs with instrumental bangers that hit just right.

If you’ve ever built a “me in music” playlist or sworn off shuffle because it ruins a lift, you’ll feel seen. If you love the chaos of going from Eminem to sixties pop in one car ride, you’ll feel seen too. By the end, you’ll have practical ideas for organizing your listening around your real routines—workouts, commutes, kid-safe drives—and a fresh way to read your Wrapped or Replay as a story rather than a scorecard. Press play, then tell us your top artist and which lineup you vibe with more. Subscribe, share with a friend who has the opposite taste, and leave a review with your top three genres for the year.
