Friends Without Benefits

After a little holiday banter – Christmas trees, menorahs and the whole shebang, Rachel and Dale discuss what kind of travelers they are?   Who’s immediately scanning the seat pocket in front of them for a puke bag? Who’s causing stress putting their luggage in the overhead? Which one of them is a psychopath who enjoys the turbulence? And we’re also talking all about the notorious Mile High Club.   You can follow Rachel, award winning author, writer and speaker, on Instagram at @whineandcheezits ; and Dale, successful entertainment company owner and in-arena host for the Miami Heat at @uptowndale   Show created and hosted by Rachel Sobel and Dale McLean.

Ice in your flowers keeps them alive longer? Ears ringing means someone/s talking about you? Knuckle cracking causing arthritis? Is matzo ball soup really Jewish penicillin?

Everyone has that one female friend who becomes a powerhouse social media sleuth when necessary. You know it’s true. The one that deep dives into instagram, public records, ex’s Facebook page. They know what they’re doing. We’re talking all about that today as well as Big Brother, Twitter, Kayne and Adam Levine. A lot of tangents today.   You can follow Rachel, award winning author, writer and speaker, on Instagram at @whineandcheezits ; and Dale, successful entertainment company owner and in-arena host for the Miami Heat at @uptowndale Show created and hosted by Rachel Sobel and Dale McLean.   Produced and edited by Let’s Podcast Now Recorded at Blue Martini Fort Lauderdale If you like what you hear please subscribe and better yet leave a review

In the spirit of hindsight, Rachel and Dale are going back in time to discuss what they would tell their college selves.

IT’S HAPPENING!!!!! On a previous episode of FWOB, Dale finally agreed to let Rachel create his Hinge profile to dip his toe into the waters of online dating. That’s right! Dale, basically South Florida bachelor royalty, has never ever tried online dating…until now.   Rachel had carte blanche to set up Dale’s profile and presented him with the keys to the next chapter of his dating adventures. They worked out the finishing touches together while recording and just like that Dale’s inaugural online dating presence will soon be felt around the world, or at least through the 30 mile-ish radius he requested.   Enjoy this moment that Rachel has been waiting her whole life for.   You can follow Rachel, award winning author, writer and speaker, on Instagram at @whineandcheezits ; and Dale, successful entertainment company owner and in-arena host for the Miami Heat at @uptowndale   Show created and hosted by Rachel Sobel and Dale McLean.

This episode is all about couples. Have you ever been in a situation where you can’t stand your friend’s significant other? Do you say something? Do you fake it? All we know is that it’s a slippery slope and Dale and Rachel have feelings about it. Speaking of couples, we’re also talking today about couples who fight in public. The ones who do not hold back from airing their dirty laundry right there in the middle of a restaurant. Have you ever gotten into it over a plate of chicken fingers? We discuss the whole dynamic.   You can follow Rachel, award winning author, writer and speaker, on Instagram at @whineandcheezits ; and Dale, successful entertainment company owner and in-arena host for the Miami Heat at @uptowndale   Show created and hosted by Rachel Sobel and Dale McLean.

Today we are back behind the mics after dodging Hurricane Nicole here in Florida.  This time at Blue Martini Fort Lauderdale. We are digging into Miami Heat Culture and why people in the expensive seats stroll in during halftime. We’re also going to address the elephant in the room - Dale’s date with Taylor from our last set of episodes. We’ve had so many people asking for an update, so get comfortable and ready to hear the tea. As always we have a ton of tangents, like the time Dale became a sugar baby for a hot minute at the nail salon.   You can follow Rachel, award winning author, writer and speaker, on Instagram at @whineandcheezits ; and Dale, successful entertainment company owner and in-arena host for the Miami Heat at @uptowndale   Show created and hosted by Rachel Sobel and Dale McLean.

And to end this bundle of episodes recorded at American Social, we are going out with a bang! It’s bachelorette versus divorcee. Catherine vs. Edna. Two completely different times in two women’s lives converging right here on the FWOB pod. One is wearing a veil and getting ready for her upcoming nuptials, and one is coming out of a marriage and probably burning that veil on the way out (because cheaters suck, and we are team divorcee in this one).   We are getting the scoop and hearing about how this newly single gal dealt with a narcissist, something we are hearing so much more about these days. Sure, there’s fun and on-brand inappropriateness in this episode but there’s also some vulnerability and we are here for all of it.   You can follow Rachel, award winning author, writer and speaker, on Instagram at @whineandcheezits ; and Dale, successful entertainment company owner and in-arena host for the Miami Heat at @uptowndale   Show created and hosted by Rachel Sobel and Dale McLean.
