Live from NEW YORK, it’s…me!! Hi, all my favorite people. This week I’m commiserating from my hotel room in the big city. It’s just me and you this week and truly, I’ve never needed to vent so badly: I finally talked to a pet psychic. And, well… I’ll never be the same. Wondering: will I ever stop missing my best friends? It seems like it’s only getting worse. Reminiscing on a catastrophic miscommunication with my therapist. And you guys, I need to tell you about the absolutely humiliating, mortifying moment I cannot stop thinking (and cringing) about. Send help - I’m never leaving my house again.  For more about the podcast and my life, you can find me: https://www.instagram.com/jadeiovine/  Executive Producers Jade Iovine + Catherine Law Audio Engineer Brandon Dickert Hosted on Acast.

SO I have Covid. Which I’m going to blame for the eclectic nature of this episode… I had so many things I wanted to vent to you about while we were OOO, so I hope you enjoy bouncing around from topic to topic as I try to cram it all into this catch-up sesh. Drinking & Flying The two ways to think about vacation sex My thoughts on Speak Now (Taylor’s Version)  Being the problematic person on a family vacation Ozempic opinions: Do you think someone who’s on Ozempic should tell people (family, friends, fans) they’re on it?  Your Mom Jokes How I feel about social media PDA… Why are we terrified of couples therapy? Would you be mad if your significant other didn’t post on your birthday? AND last but not least we take a hard left as I share the inner child meditation that saved me from my last menty b.  Enter at your own risk… Hosted on Acast.

This week we discussed something I’ve been DYING to talk to you guys about: the ins and outs of FRIENDS with BENEFITS… What questions should you ask before you begin a friends with benefits situationship?   How long do they usually last? Are you being “benched”? Will a friendship end after we’ve made things sexual? Is it possible to make it out of FWB unscathed?  And how many people secretly wish it would turn into a relationship? We share anecdotes from our own hellish experiences and how we got out of these situationships in very different ways… We also covered: Being kept a secret What constitutes as 3rd/4th base when hooking up Dylan’s first text to me The #1 rule I live by that Oprah taught me How to be there for a long distance friend who’s going through something For more about the podcast and my life, you can find me: https://www.instagram.com/jadeiovine/  Executive Producers Jade Iovine + Catherine Law Audio Engineer Brandon Dickert Hosted on Acast.

Every year, Pornhub releases their top kink searches by state, and all I can say is…you’re about to learn about fetishes you never even knew existed. Catherine and I also talked about sex lives in long term relationships, how to tell if someone wants to have sex with you, and uncovered a darkly hilarious lost memory of when my parents told me they were getting divorced. I also had the WORST hangxiety of my life last weekend and needed to vent to you guys about it. I go through the stages of hangxiety, and wonder: was I actually as bad as I think?

This week I vented to Catherine about my thoughts on a modern phenomenon I've decided to call "Toxic Relatability".  In an era dominated by online (omni)presence, we've witnessed a shift from aspirational girlbosses to the emergence of self-proclaimed relatable advice-givers. While this change initially seemed refreshing and beneficial, I’m now finding that I've never felt so judged. From the ever-looming fear of "the ick" and our incessant pursuit of spotting "red flags" to the rampant overuse and misuse of terms like ‘gaslighting’ and ‘boundaries’, we find ourselves adrift in a sea of misguided counsel and these one-size-fits-all rules. How do we know whose advice to listen to and when does advice turn toxic? I also shared the common mistake we all unwittingly make when we get into a relationship, the art of “looking ugly”, the truth about snooping in your significant other’s phone, my theory about sad girls, and the five psychological tricks I’m obsessed with.  Executive Producers Jade Iovine + Catherine Law Audio Engineer Brandon Dickert Hosted on Acast.

I can’t believe I finally get to say this… Welcome, welcome, welcome to the very first episode of LIVE FROM BED!!!!  I’m so excited I can’t handle it, but at long last we are breathing new life into our podcast baby and with that comes a name change. The artist formerly known as Tell Me About It is now LFB!  This show has grown so much since we first started and you and I have changed so much in all the worst and best ways so, to reflect that, I thought it was time we shake things up around here. This show will be more of the same things you know and love and so. much. more. We’re getting more raw, giving more behind the scenes, more of my secrets will be told, and best of all we’ll be able to continue the conversation past the episodes each week with exciting extra episodes, live shows, etc. (more on that later…)  BUT as you all know, bed is the higher power I believe in. It’s my center of gravity: the place where I hide from the world, where my friends and I gossip, where my husband and I…hang out…, where I dream, dread, and dine. So I’m inviting you guys, my cherished pajama friends, into bed with me. So we can continue to commiserate, laugh and cry, evolve and regress together all from a horizontal position.  Welcome to the new and improved. I’m so grateful. AND I LOVE YOU.  Produced by Catherine Law Edited and Engineered by Brandon Dickert Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week Tinx joined the LfB group chat to talk VERY openly about the rollercoaster year she’s had.    We talked about the theories she grew famous for, the tweets that got her canceled, and the book she wrote about it all: ‘The Shift’.   You may think you know her, or that you’ve made your mind up about her controversies, and hear me when I say all opinions are valid and welcome. What she reveals in this conversation is her firsthand, very personal account of what that experience was actually like to go through-–judgment and morality aside. To rise and fall, to have the internet and people you thought were your friends turn against you, to have to own the worst things you’ve done, and resist the urge to abandon yourself when everyone else is running for the hills…when the love and fame suddenly turns into public hate.    You’ll hear her talk about all of it in this episode, like never before.    The first half of our conversation is about everything from what would happen if people were honest about their relationships, choosing whether or not to sleep with someone you started dating, the tightrope-walk of living with the Big Three (Anxiety, Depression, and ADHD), to the failproof sex position Tinx swears by. Then, we take a deep dive into the darker side of Tinx’s story.    As always, I want to know what you guys think - so DM me and we’ll talk allllll about it. And stay tuned for our big show announcement next Tuesday… Get a copy of Tinx’s Book ‘The Shift’ here!  Produced by Catherine Law Edited and Engineered by Brandon Dickert Hosted on Acast.

I hate to be this girl BUT…we have a crazy exciting announcement for you next week so while we get ready for that I thought it’d be fun to revisit one of my favorite episodes.   Fun fact: I grew up next door to the Playboy Mansion. So, to me, the girls next door really were the Girls Next Door.    It added another layer to my already colorful childhood, with parties and peacocks that kept me up for all hours of the night.    But one incredible day in 2005, E! Released a brand new show called…THE GIRLS NEXT DOOR, and the lives of every millennial girl changed forever. The Girls Next Door was a reality show about The Playboy Mansion, Hugh Hefner and his three girlfriends Holly, Bridget and Kendra. These dynamic women quickly became the stars of the show, and captured the hearts of families and young women nationwide. The show gave us a look inside the wild lifestyle of three very different women with one common interest: their boyfriend. It showed their extravagant costumes, the parties they’d host, vacations and day trips all over the world, their butlers, lavish lifestyle, and many, many dogs.    But, as with most things, their lives weren’t quite what they seemed. In addition to all the fun and playfulness the show captured, there was jealousy, manipulation, body issues, infighting, and a dark side to the boyfriend they were basically employed by.    And damn, did we GO THERE… Holly and Bridget joined me on this week’s episode, and didn’t hold back about the years they lived at the mansion, dated Hef, and starred in (in my opinion !!!) one of the best reality shows of all time. Not only did we reminisce on the years we spent as neighbors, but they let me in on the secrets of the mansion, Hef’s world, the parts they’d rather forget, and everrrrryyything in between.    We explored Holly’s neurodivergence, some of the sexual aspects of the girls’ relationships with Hef, how they feel about his death, and how it impacts the way they think about him now. They told me all about the drama inside the mansion, the excuses they’d use to get out of going out or sex, diet culture within the house, the rules they were expected to follow, and answered ALL our burning, behind-the-scenes questions we’ve spent the last decade dying to know. Don’t quote me on this, but this might be one of the juiciest TMAI episodes of all time.    Download this episode of Tell Me About It with Jade Iovine wherever you get your podcasts!

This week I invited best-selling author, 15-year veteran of the beauty and fashion industry, Succession devotee, and secret hand model DANIELLE PRESCOD to hang with me.    In October of 2022, Danielle released “Token Black Girl” - a refreshingly honest memoir about racial identity, pop culture, and delusions of perfection.    This hour-long heart-to-heart is filled to the brim. We talked about everything from fibroids and egg-freezing, to growing up as one of the only Black girls in her school in Connecticut, and how that influenced (and maybe even catalyzed) her disordered eating. We dove into how she and her family are coping with her sister’s new role on Bravo’s hit show Summer House, and explored the concept of making peace with the idea of starting a family without a partner… and how that might radically change the experience of everyone desperately “searching” for their other half.    I can’t recommend this book enough… Order ‘Token Black Girl’ here. xo   For more about the podcast and my life, you can find me: https://www.instagram.com/jadeiovine/    Executive Producer Catherine Law Audio Engineer Brandon Dickert Hosted on Acast.
