The Best Time for Sex + Masturbation Myths with Trevor Wallace and Michael Blaustein
The boys are back and it’s a hot one! Trevor Wallace and Michael Blaustein of Stiff Socks podcast join us to discuss an array of spicy subjects – how often guys are actually jerking off (and why they should never do it before a date), the best time of day to have sex, the perfect length of time for penetration, why lingerie can sometimes be a turnoff, the pros and cons of counter sex, and (on a more wholesome note) what their friendship is actually like. We also have them dissect some wild “Is this weird?” submissions from our listeners. Before the guys join us, we’re talking about dressing for the male gaze vs. dressing for your partner, Rayna meeting her nephew for the first time, and Ashley’s Christmas-came-early theory. Enjoy!

What Happens When You Swear Off Men feat. Ashli Pollard
If you’ve thought about quitting dating, swearing off men altogether, or joining the 4B movement (don’t worry, we define it if you’re not familiar), this episode is for you. We are joined by entrepreneur/marketing expert and recent viral sensation for the no-men movement, Ashli Pollard, to discuss why she decided to stop dating two years ago and how her life has changed since. We talk about living life outside of the male gaze, talking to your friends and family about this choice, sex and pleasure, what people get wrong about the movement, how she sees her future (including motherhood), and how both men and women can help support women better. Before Ashli joins us, we’re sharing the juiciest plane passenger situation we’ve encountered, and how we ended up on contractor-Tok. Enjoy!

Are You the Crazy Ex? with Nick Viall
We’ve all done some crazy ex things, or at least thought about it, but does that make it ok? We’re joined by our friend, fellow podcaster, and new dad Nick Viall to discuss crazy ex behavior, the things we do (from the minor to the major leagues), and how to hold back from those angry urges. We discuss why it hurts so badly when someone betrays you (or even worse, when they move on), how social media makes us crazy during breakups, and the controversial question of “Is it ok to sleep with an ex’s friend for revenge?” We also break down our listeners’ “Psycho of Power Move” submissions and they are WILD. Before Nick joins us, we’re discussing Ashley’s secret doctor visits, whether a move by Rayna’s recent date was hot or not, and the notion that “Gen Z thinks making out is hotter than sex.” Enjoy! Follow Nick on Instagram @NickViall and TikTok @nickviall, check out his podcast The Viall Files, and get his book Don’t Text Your Ex Happy Birthday.
