Devin and Carolina discuss their recent and deeply disturbing ventures into the dating app world - prompts and opening lines and the deep desire to have Andrew Garfield just show up at one’s door.

Also, Devin’s cat, Cookie, continues to complicate the relationship…just like any Bravo show.

Carolina and Devin begin today’s episode by discussing a run-in with ROYALTY (Countess LuAnn) to the temptation of Ozempic when you have a latent eating disorder (these are not unrelated topics). The women then go through ways you can subtly share feelings with an ex lover, whether by song choices at the Eras Tour, or reading selections on a public Goodreads account. Lastly they discuss the powers of female intuition turning the ti...
Devin is lost without Carolina for the week - especially in the wake of the trauma that was Netflix’s attempt at a live reunion. The only thing harder to watch than the season 4 reunion was… Chelsea and Kwame’s wedding. Devin dives into all of the most inspirational and most cringeworthy moments of the finale and reunion of Love is Blind and begs Netflix to PLEASE reconsider the Lacheys.

Carolina and Devin discuss the latest Bachelor episode as we get closer to the end of the season. Thailand is really a place to introduce your families and second guess everything. Jesse Palmer still makes things awkward. The latest in Scandoval, Jax aka Gaston finally addresses the tension within the group. Is Jax an ally or is he really stirring the pot with Schwartz? Plus, Carolina tells a story about Richard Kind and George Clo...
Devin and Carolina try to cover the Hometowns and Women Tell All episodes of The Bachelor but keep getting distracted by the Scandoval affair because, let’s face it, the world of Vanderpump Rules is much more exciting than the world where Jesse Palmer is considered a “personality” and eating maple syrup is considered a date!

Devin and Carolina are forced to cover an episode of this season of The Bachelor, not because of its historic first-ever virtual rose ceremony, but because Zach’s behavior is too pretentious to not be called out. Plus, a discussion of boundaries and Nedra Glover Tawwab’s new book!

Carolina is out this week, but in the meantime...Devin had the pleasure (no pun intended!) to talk sex and love with marriage and family therapist Carly Rappaport. We ask her questions about masturbation, kinks, self-consciousness around sex, monogamy, compatibility, jealousy and much much more! It's an open and overall positive talk, also not all men have crazy sex drives like every character Kevin James plays in movies.

Carolina and Devin just want to feel sad today, okay? Valentine's Day and Galentine's Day, honestly...a constellation prize, make us feel a lot of emotions! Luckily we have each other and we must trick ourselves in order to get over the hump of break ups. A playlist will get us through the day and maybe some social media "check ups" here and there. Let us join the world and get some coffee and sunlight (after 5pm for Carolina).
Devin processes her recent breakup with Carolina’s help then dives into listeners’ breakup advice questions!
