This has us pondering great movies like “The Wedding Date” and wondering if this is really a good idea. Would you ever feel pressured to bring someone along for a wedding or family event?
Next, we do a little drinking with Ashley, who is now convinced more than ever that Amy or Olivia may accidentally date a serial killer.

And when do you meet their family? Would your family be honest with you if they thought someone was a bad partner for you? What differences among your families are acceptable and which ones are dealbreakers? What if health problems like addiction run in your S.O.’s family? What if they never introduce you to their family? We tackle all these questions in this week’s episode!

Turns out the “Fuckboy Free Zone” mug in his profile was false advertising.

We drop bombs of wisdom throughout this whole episode. Some are serious, some are not-so-serious, some fall a little flat, and some are even questionable bits of advice. We argue about tequila, mac-n-cheese, and celery. It’s a journey this episode!

After we vent, we talk about some random dating topics. When is it too soon to ask someone you’re dating to take you to the airport? Go figure … it depends! Is it okay for a woman to make the first move? This reminds us of Ashley putting the moves on a Justin Bobby look-alike. It didn’t go exactly as expected. Is it a turn off if a guy asks you out immediately on a dating app?

We discuss the dwindling pool of available singles and the financial burden of dating. We also talk about feeling already set in your ways about things like finances and cleanliness and going out; this means dating in your 30s means finding someone who fits you close enough and making peace with your differences instead if growing together with someone like you may have done in your 20s. Now, we’re already grown! And apparently quite particular about things.

After we spill this news, we enjoy Ashley’s 60 Second Sips which throws us down a whole tangent about yoga retreats and men who do yoga. Would a yoga retreat be something you’d ever way to do? Do these Instagram-worthy retreats make yoga look unattainable? All you really need is your bod...2021-08-2930 minShots & ThoughtsEpisode 45 - Bad Texters, Friends with Benefits, and Us Disagreeing About EverythingHow important is it for someone you’re dating to be a good texter? Does this show that he’s just not that interested in you? Or is it a red flag for someone who isn’t going to be a good communicator in other ways? In this episode, Olivia fights for the importance of being a good texter especially early on. There’s something about keeping the intrigue there in between dates, and even keeping other more negative thoughts at bay (“is he just a bad texter or is he ghosting me?”).

This conversation quickly dissolves into our opinions about all sorts of bachelorette party topics, including big bachelorette party trips and what party guests may be asked to pay for in these celebrations.
This conversation obviously wouldn’t be complete without us telling stories of some of the craziest bachelorette parties we’ve either been on or heard about.

Ashley got a pretty harmless text that quickly transitioned to flirty (especially when he admitted to what he had her name saved as in his phone). What would you have done or said? And seriously, we know it’s been a loooong pandemic, but how bored do you have to be to be going through your phone and texting random women you no longer remember??

Inspired by this season of Married at First Sight, we wonder if people truly understand what personality types mesh well together. Can a neat freak date someone less uptight about cleanliness? By disliking someone for an interest in sports, are you judging them and assuming they don’t have other interests that may be compatible with you? Ashley reminds us that just because someone is a perfect fit on paper, doesn’t mean they...2021-08-0228 minShots & ThoughtsEpisode 41 – Edibles and the Truth About Beauty PageantsIn this episode, Ashley – our resident retired pageant competitor – takes us into a deep dive into the world of pageants. She tells us stories about catty women, backstage sabotage, sprinting in six inch heels, butt tape, the cost of the dresses, the cringey Q&A portion, and she even discusses if the swim suit portion of these competitions should still be a thing.

Even though Olivia watched a movie Amy recommended instead. The movie was "Good on Paper" which is based on a true life story of Iliza Shlesinger, the standup comedian. Like she talks about in the movie... why is a persistent guy seen as a positive thing, whereas a persistent girl is seen as crazy? Not fair. We also discuss a lot of the red flags for the guy in the movie, including that she hadn't seen where he lived. You can learn a lot about a person based on where they live! After Olivia survives...2021-07-1951 minShots & ThoughtsEpisode 39 - Vasectomies, LARPing and the Gen Z Word GameIn this episode, we're chatting about the weird things Olivia is seeing on the dating apps, including men openly sharing on their profiles that they've been snipped or refusing to list their job. Plus, what's this whole "breadcrumbing" thing? Is it just a fancy way of saying you're leading someone on? And while we decide breadcrumbing is crappy, is it worse than someone asking you out for a date last minute? In Amy's famous words... It depends!! And it's probably just easier to have a friend who will drop everything to get ice cream with you anyway.
...2021-07-1236 minShots & ThoughtsEpisode 38 - Girl Code, Flirting For Promotions, and a Drunken Exposé"There's no reason, other than the fact that I have a vagina, that you think he can't be around me... and that's bullshit!" Things really heat up in this episode when we chat about Girl Code. Are you allowed to date a friend's crush? Does it make a difference if he's part of the friend group? What about a friend's brother? Or, her ex? Even if it was am amicable breakup, would it be to weird to hear your friend talk about your ex in that way? And what about "uteruses before duderuses" -- do your friends really always...2021-07-0433 minShots & ThoughtsEpisode 37 - Dating Spreadsheets, Business Cards, and Robot MowersIs dating getting a bit too... analytical? In this episode we're chatting all about dating spreadsheets, Google doc applications, and even dating business cards. Do you think if you're at the point of needing a spreadsheet to keep your dates straight, you're seeing too many people at once? And while these dating applications seem like an efficient way to get around small talk (which, dudes, you are terrible at), we found quite a few holes in this plan. And let's not forget about dating business cards; at first this seemed like a quirky way to give your info to...2021-06-2832 minShots & ThoughtsEpisode 36 - Matchmaking Services, and Living Out of a VanIn this episode, we’re diving right in to talk about using a matchmaker. It sounds spendy, not very efficient, and questionably effective if you’re not finding different people than you could find on the apps. Should a matchmaker have a certain education background? How well should they get to know you first before they match you? Should they seek the assistance of a psychic?
One of the matchmakers had a rule: No texting before the date. Does this help prevent any preconceived notions about the other person and keep the daters more open minded? Or does...2021-06-2125 minShots & ThoughtsEpisode 35 - Bikinis, When it's Too Soon, and Becoming our MothersIt’s officially pool season, y’all! We kick off today’s episode debating if we’re too old for bikinis, discussing new swimwear trends, and wondering if swimsuits should have pockets. After that, Olivia demands that Ashley and Amy play along as we discuss when it’s too soon for certain aspects of a relationship – becoming exclusive, saying I love you, moving in together, and getting married. Amy gets points for creativity because she basically found eighty different ways of saying “it depends” without actually saying “it depends.” SIGH.
We take a detour in the discussion to talk about single...2021-06-1429 minShots & ThoughtsEpisode 34 - Couples Counseling, Secret Relationships, and Mom HaircutsWhat would you do if you got iced on your first date? Is that a creative icebreaker or immature tactic? In this episode, we dive into the topic of couples counseling. Is it a red flag if you’re going to counseling before you’re even married? Is that a sign that you’re just not a good fit for each other? We also discuss some complex couples counseling dynamics – is it okay for you to join in on your S.O.’s therapy sesh, or should you be working with a neutral third party who doesn’t know either of yo...2021-06-0742 minShots & ThoughtsEpisode 33 - Farmers Only, The Home Edit, and UV BlueAshley and Olivia kick off this episode with some exciting life announcements before we discuss an important listener comment about our last episode - are we too old for the Summerfest shuttle buses? Then, we dive into this episode by discussing dating reality shows and if we'd ever be a contestant. Olivia thinks the Bachelor/Bachelorette concept is a load of crap, and would put more faith in the hands of matchmaking experts. Ashley maintains that the best dating show is Survivor, and even suggests there be a specialized dating app for Survivor fans. Speaking of specialized dating apps...2021-05-3131 minShots & ThoughtsEpisode 32 - Dating a Guy with Roomies, Selling our Homes, and the Food CulpritWe're diving into a topic from last week's 60 Second Sips -- would you date a guy in his 30s who still lives with roommates? And is a guy more appealing to you if he owns a home instead of renting? Would you ever date someone who lives at home with their parents? Heck, would YOU ever move back home with your parents?? It's quite the debate!
After ripping into Amy about her fostering addiction, she takes us through some great 60 Second Sips. As it turns out, we all have a pet peeve about people not using their...2021-05-2432 minShots & ThoughtsEpisode 31 - Dugout Love Stories, Jorts, and My First BotoxDo you remember the website PostSecret? Well, we've got a couple of big secrets to share with you this week! Ashley's big secret involves sneaking into dugouts, jorts turned into jean bikini bottoms, and Olivia being possibly the least observant person on the planet.
During 60 Second Sips, our hearts go pitter-patter thinking about men in uniform, and we consider whether we'd date someone who had roommates (certainly a topic we plan to dig into more in the future!).
After a couple of much needed sips, Olivia spills her worst-kept secret and explains why...2021-05-1731 minShots & ThoughtsEpisode 30 - Showing up Late, Wearing Sunglasses Indoors, and Welding AspirationsGuess what? We've reached almost 900 plays and we have you all to thank! Keep spreading the word, and don't be afraid to slide into our DMs if you have any topic suggestions.
In this episode, we ponder the relevance of a few common phrases, such as "romance is dead," "there's plenty of fish in the sea," and "right person, wrong time." We also discuss "five minutes early is on time, on time is late, and late is unacceptable," which has us all stressing the importance of just letting someone know if you're going to be late! Come...2021-05-0946 minShots & ThoughtsEpisode 29 - Hinge Prompts, Clipping Toenails in Public, and Death by Trash CompactorInspired by an outrageous Hinge prompt answer sent by her sister, Olivia kicks off the episode by running us through some pretty interesting responses to prompts on dating apps. And yes, these are all real responses found just in our location in under an hour. It's a scary world out there on the apps, people. So scary, in fact, that we question if Olivia found the next Jeffrey Dahmer... yikes.
Next, we discuss how important it is to have the same schedule as someone you're dating. Could you date a third-shifter if you work first shift...2021-05-0235 minShots & ThoughtsEpisode 28 - Dating and Careers, Feeding Ourselves, and No LouboutinsWould you date someone who worked in the same field as you, or would it get too competitive? Or rather, would it be nice to have someone who understands the difficulties of your job? We discuss that on this week's episode before diving into some 60 Second Sips. Would you date someone who hates big companies like Amazon? (Please don't count how many Amazon packages we had delivered this week.)
Next, we talk all about the many, many aspects of being adults that just didn't live up to our expectations. Like, dang, I have to feed myself how...2021-04-2629 minShots & ThoughtsEpisode 27 - Pen Pals, Travel Mode, and the Post OfficeWhat do you think about someone saying "not looking for a pen pal" on a dating app? And, what do you think about people not listing preferences for things that are obvious dealbreakers for them (such as doing drugs or having kids)? These are just a few of the things we chat about on this week's episode.
Olivia takes some liberties with the time limit for 60 Second Sips this week, but leaves us wondering about whether or not we'd swipe yes on someone using Travel Mode on a dating app. And what if you match with...2021-04-1931 minShots & ThoughtsEpisode 26 - Bad Kissers, Gaslighting, and Hair Removal HorrorsIs kissing like riding a bike? Or, can you forget how to do it if it's been awhile or if you're super nervous? This is up for debate on this week's episode, along with some 60 Second Sips questions about milk preferences and whether talking during movies is acceptable.
A big topic we cover is gaslighting -- the act of manipulating a partner in such a way that they end up questioning their own reality. Inspired by a binge of the first season of the podcast "Something Was Wrong," we talk about the different tactics gaslighters use...2021-04-1148 minShots & ThoughtsEpisode 25 - Hiding from Exes, Myspace Top 8, and Butterfly ClipsHappy Easter weekend! Are you a fresh Peeps fan or one of the weirdos who likes them a little hard? After debating Easter candy, we discuss social media and if it's muddying the waters for breakups. Speaking of breakups, when are you obligated to break up in person instead of over text or a phone call? And, if you happen to see that person in real life post-breakup, how do you handle it? (Hide!) In case you were wondering, dealing with seeing exes in person is a team sport. A certain ex of Olivia's better watch out -- Amy...2021-04-0539 minShots & ThoughtsEpisode 24 - Getting Arrested, Being Stereotyped, and Banana HatsInspired by a Bumble question prompt, we guess why each of us would be arrested. Do you think "my drunk alter ego did it" would hold up in court? Next, we help Olivia translate what the heck we think guys mean when they say things on the apps, like, "I'm looking for a filter-less beauty" -- what are you trying to say, sir? Plus, Olivia is feeling awfully stereotyped by her matches about being a dietitian, so we talk about the many ways in which we've all experienced this kind of quick judgement.
After a game...2021-03-2841 minShots & ThoughtsEpisode 23 - Income Differences, Skid Marks, and Gray HairsWe're talking money in relationships once again, but this time we're focusing on how you deal with differences in income. What do you do if you're self conscious about making less? Or if your partner really seems to care about now being the breadwinner? We also wonder if it's even worse to be the kind of person who says they're self-made, but really aren't. Then, we talk about cheap date ideas (including hiking, which could be a bad date if not executed correctly, oops).
After a quick detour to talk about how Ashley had the best...2021-03-2148 minShots & ThoughtsEpisode 22 - The Box Test, Automated Dating, and First Date TattoosIn this episode, Ashley runs us through the "Box Personality Test" which tells us a lot about Amy's ego, her relationship contentment, and surprisingly, even her many foster animals. Then, we discuss whether or not we think automating "good morning" texts and Starbucks giftcards is genuine or not. Next, Olivia spills that she's gotten tattoos on not just one, but TWO first dates. Whoa.
After a thrilling round of 60 Second Sips, we take a deep dive into tattoos -- how many we have, how old we were when we got them, if we have any regrets...2021-03-1434 minShots & ThoughtsEpisode 21 - The "How Not to Die Alone" Book, Cohabitating, and Biker ShortsOlivia just finished listening to the audiobook "How Not to Die Alone" by Logan Ury, and she is dying to discuss some of the most shocking details of the book. How much more does a guy have to make to be considered as attractive as someone taller than him? Should you incentivize people setting you up on dates? Can you make yourself stop searching for someone better by applying the "secretary theory" to dating? And lastly, are people just sliding into the next step of their relationships, especially by living together?
After some 60 Second Sips about clothes...2021-03-0851 minShots & ThoughtsEpisode 20 - Dating Patterns, Situationships, and Wide Leg Pants ProblemsIn this episode, we're chatting about patterns in dating. Do you date the same type of person over and over? Are they the same based on appearance, personality type, or something else? After a short tangent on the challenges of being an introvert, we direct our attention to the importance of talking about past relationships when you start a new one. Then, a hilarious 60 Second Sips game has us all agreeing that it is NOT okay to put your license plate stickers all over the place. Chaotic plates = chaotic people.
Next, we talk about a friend who...2021-02-2840 min

Oh, the things dating can teach you! In this episode, we're wondering how long to wait for someone to reschedule a date. And during 60 Second Sips, Ashley poses this challenging question: would we ever date someone who cheated in the past, if they sincerely regretted it? Finally, Olivia tells a story about finding someone's hubby on a dating app, and it's such a crazy story that we're seeing double.

We recount some of our very worst first dates: the guy who was very vocal about his shy bladder, the guy who was probably on drugs and wanted to murder his brother, and the date that never ends (it just goes on and on my friends). Plus, after a hilarious 60 Second Sips, we finally tell the story about Ashley coming to save Olivia during a bad date and crying tableside. By the end of the story, Olivia is laugh-crying and can barely keep it together.

Ashley is full of great stories this episode, and she kicks things off by sharing how Olivia almost became an accidental mistress. During 60 Second Sips, we debate whether or not to go on a first date at a guy’s house.

Can knowing your love language make you a better partner? We’re diving into these topics on this week’s episode. Amy is a major skeptic and thinks there’s too many intangibles for personality tests to help you choose a partner. And while Olivia seems more open to manifesting a relationship via Myers Briggs, Ashley worries this is just another way to cut out people who might be a good fit.

Bumble has a new feature since Amy quit the apps where you can play a question game (your answers are revealed after both people provide answers) and this may have been a game changer for her (although Olivia think they're lame).

In this week's episode, Ashley tells the tale of the Banjo Boy who made our NYE a bit more interesting (was there a midnight kiss?!). And while we're pondering the new year, we say f*ck your resolution -- surviving 2020 has earned you the right to forget the weight loss goals and instead focus on self care, which includes sliding into the new year on your couch watching some of our favorite binge-able "rushed relationship" reality...2020-12-2852 minShots & ThoughtsEpisode 10 - White Elephant Gifts and Long Distance DatingWhat would you do if your boyfriend's grandma got you and your boyfriend's sister identical Christmas gifts?
