This week on So What Now we are back with all the chaos, wisdom, and side-eyes you’ve come to love.
Dex kicks things off with a hilarious (and low-key insightful?) update on dinner with her dad — who came with unexpected dating advice on where to find eligible bachelors. Spoiler: Dex is not taking him up on this advice.
Then, Carla introduces the viral “golden retriever vs. black cat” dating theory — and it’s clear Dex is a full black cat. We break down what your relationship energy says about you and how it shapes your dating patterns.
The convo takes a turn as we unpack Young Thug’s controversial appearance on The Pivot Podcast. His comments about therapy, masculinity, and feeling judged hit a nerve — but what really stood out was how the Pivot hosts held space for him while still challenging him to grow. Could the Pivot host be enough to make Dex rethink her hard stance on men? 👀
In listener letters:
-
A romantic soul wonders if her jaded friend is dragging her out of her soft girl era. Is it time to protect her peace and walk away from the group chat?
-
And… a messy mystery unfolds when a listener suspects her brother is having an affair with their pastor’s wife. Carla and Dex both said: unless you’ve got proof, mind your business.
As always, we want to hear from you — especially about that last letter. Would you get involved?
