MAFS Australia Season 13, Episode 4 delivered jealousy, new couples, and our villain continuing to villain.

We kick things off with Bec and Danny, whose relationship officially hits turbulence when Bec accuses Danny of looking at another woman. A moment that spirals fast - insecurity, defensiveness, and a fight that leaves us asking… is this a red flag moment or a full-blown warning sign? We unpack who’s right, who’s reaching, and whether this is something they can actually come back from.

Then, we meet our newest intruders, Rebecca and Steve - the oldest couple in the experiment and, dare we say, a rare glimmer of hope? Mature, measured, and refreshingly calm, they feel like a palate cleanser after the chaos. But is potential enough to survive MAFS pressure… or are we getting ahead of ourselves?

And of course, Chris.

Still here. Still awful. Still proving why he’s this season’s token villain. Every episode gives us more reason to side-eye his behaviour, and Episode 4 is no exception. The red flags aren’t subtle anymore - they’re basically being waved directly at the camera.

Is Bec and Danny already cracked beyond repair?

Will Rebecca and Steve be the surprise success story?

And how much worse is Chris going to get?

We break it all down - with opinions, receipts, and zero chill.

Last night’s MAFS Australia Season 13, Episode 3 gave us two brand-new couples and… yep, the villain has officially entered the chat.

First up, we meet Bec and Danny. Things start off suspiciously well - chemistry, vibes, optimism - until the honeymoon hits and suddenly we’re asking: how did we get here so fast? From smooth sailing to 🚩 real quick, and we break down exactly where it all went wrong.

Then… Chris and Brooke.

Chris, our season’s self-appointed alpha, was paired with model bride Brooke - and the wedding moment said EVERYTHING. When the celebrant asked for a kiss to seal the deal, Brooke said ✨absolutely not✨ and served him a cheek kiss only. Awkward? Yes. Telling? Also yes. Is this going to work… or are we already watching the slow-motion crash?

And let’s talk about Chris’ vibes, because WOW. He proudly hates “needy” people, people who fake tan, and fat people - and somehow expects us to believe he’s the catch? The misogyny is loud, the red flags are waving, and we unpack why he’s already giving season villain energy.

Is Bec and Danny salvageable?

Is Brooke already emotionally checked out?

And how long before Chris says something truly unforgivable?

We’ve got thoughts. Many of them.

MAFS Australia Season 13 Episode 2 delivered two weddings, early chaos, and our first real taste of drama.

In this Married at First Sight Australia recap, we break down Luke & Mel’s wedding and the spectacle that was Gia & Scott. Gia arrived with undeniable main character energy, a bridal party that felt more like a cast, and a “Man of Honour” (yes, we’re coining that) who immediately made himself essential to the plot.

We also need to talk about Will and Georgia - the winged monkeys have arrived. The fight that unravelled before Gia’s wedding saw Will briefly steal the spotlight, giving Gia a run for her money in the main-character stakes (even if he’s firmly a side character).

And if that wasn’t enough, we had a dial-in caller drop some tea on Steven 👀☕️ Listen to the end of the episode to get the full scoop.

We’re calling it early: Gia is here to carry the drama, Episode 2 has set the tone for a chaotic MAFS Australia Season 13, and we’re fully seated.

MAFS Australia Season 13 officially hit its stride this week - and things escalated fast.

We wrapped up the weddings with Filip & Stella and Grayson & Julia finally tying the knot. Two very different vibes, two very different pairings, and already some early tells about who might thrive… and who might combust. First impressions matter on MAFS, and these weddings gave us plenty to dissect.

Then came the first ever dinner party - and you know what that means. Champagne, tension, and the feud we all saw coming. Bec vs Gia erupted in real time, turning polite side-eyes into a full-blown clash. Alliances were drawn, words were said, and the group dynamic officially fractured. Welcome to the experiment, babes.

And just when everyone was feeling fragile, we rolled straight into Revelations Week.

Audition tapes exposed.

Hard-hitting questions asked.

Egos bruised.

Trust tested.

Plus, the infamous photo ranking task made its return - and for the first time ever, the women absolutely fumbled it harder than the men. A shocking role reversal that had jaws on the floor and relationships spiralling. We break down why this task landed so differently this season, and what it reveals about power, perception, and insecurity in the experiment.

We cover it all in MAFS Episodes 5–7 and 1-800 Chatline Episode 7 - with hot takes, group chat energy, and zero sugar-coating.

Who’s already doomed?

Who surprised us?

And who is absolutely not surviving Revelations Week?

Episode 8 - MAFS Australia Season 13 Episode 8 Recap: Revelations, Red Flags & Group Implosions

Episode 8 of Married at First Sight Australia Season 13 takes us deep into Revelations Week - and honestly? Things go from tense to unhinged very quickly.

We start with Mel dropping a bombshell, accusing Luke of making her life a living hell. It’s raw, emotional, and one of those moments where the room goes quiet and everyone starts mentally picking sides. We unpack what led to it, what felt justified, and what felt like it crossed a line.

Then comes the red flag / green flag task - and Steve (yes, Steve, the oldest groom) absolutely unloads a brutal list of red flags about Rebecca. What should’ve been a reflective exercise quickly turns into what feels like a full-blown humiliation ritual. Was it honesty… or was it unnecessary cruelty? We have thoughts.

Meanwhile, a feud is quietly brewing among the brides. Mel, Gia and Brooke begin accusing Stella of not being a “girl’s girl,” and the social politics of the group officially kick into overdrive. Alliances form, side-eyes are exchanged, and the tension is unmistakable.

And then - chaos.

Brooke reveals to the group that Chris made comments about not wanting to be with a fat woman, sending the entire room (and us) spiralling. It’s one of those jaw-on-the-floor MAFS moments that shifts the energy instantly and cements exactly how people feel about him moving forward.

Plus, we tease off-camera moments at the top of the episode - and deliver the full details at the end. Trust us, you’ll want to stick around for those.

Who’s telling the truth?

Who’s being performative?

And which couples are quietly heading for disaster?

We break it all down - with opinions, receipts, and absolutely zero chill.

Episode 9 of Married at First Sight Season 13 delivers one of the most uncomfortable, chaotic and revealing commitment ceremonies we’ve seen so far - and we unpack all of it.

This week, the cracks become impossible to ignore.

We start with Steve and Rebecca, where Steve is officially exposed for controlling the narrative, speaking over Rebecca on the couch, and painting a picture of a “solid” relationship that simply doesn’t match reality. From selective honesty to flat-out contradictions, we break down why this moment set off major alarm bells - and why Rebecca’s tears say far more than Steve’s words ever could.

Then comes a huge revelation from Grayson and Julia, with Grayson finally voicing what many viewers have been thinking: that Julia consistently talks about herself, rarely asks questions, and leaves him feeling emotionally sidelined. Is this a communication breakdown… or the beginning of quiet resentment?

Of course, we can’t talk about this ceremony without Mel and Luke - the couple no one expected to survive. Against all odds (and despite Luke being emotionally shattered), Luke writes stay. We unpack why this decision stunned the room.

And then - everything completely implodes.

The ceremony ends with a full-blown fight between Stella and Brooke, spilling out as the couples walk away from the couch. Accusations fly, tears are shed, and what starts as “mean girl energy” quickly turns into one of the most explosive post-ceremony confrontations of the season so far. We break down who escalated it, who played the victim, and why this feud feels far from over.

From controlling behaviour and emotional blindsides to fake vibes, performative happiness and unfiltered chaos - this commitment ceremony had it all.

Who’s lying?

Who’s delusional?

And which couples are already past the point of no return?

We break it all down - with hot takes, brutal honesty, and absolutely zero chill.

Episode 9 - MAFS Australia Season 13 Episode 9 Recap: The Commitment Ceremony That Exploded

Episode 12 of Married at First Sight Australia Season 13 delivers what might genuinely be the most explosive Dinner Party in MAFS history - and we’re not being dramatic (for once).

On Episode 10 of 1-800-CHATLINE, we break down the Dinner Party that could change Australian reality TV forever, plus unpack After the Dinner Party on Stan, hosted by Brittany Hockley and Laura Byrne.

This episode is DARK, messy, and completely unhinged.

We deep-dive into:

• Brooke’s horrific takedown of Stella and Alissa 

• The bullying, mean-girl energy that hijacked the table

• The newly formed alliance between Bec and Gia - and how quickly it imploded

• Gia’s bombshell claim that Danny told her she was more his type than his own wife, Bec 😬

The group dynamics officially snap, alliances crumble in real time, and the Dinner Party spirals into full-scale psychological warfare.

PLUS - we drop exclusive insider tea about a potential MAFS couple you absolutely would not expect. One of our dialers calls in with a “MAFS contestants spotted in the wild” sighting… and we save that tea for the very end of the episode ☕👀

On Episode 12 of 1-800 CHAT LINE, we unpack Married at First Sight Australia Season 13, Episode 13 - the Commitment Ceremony fallout that proves the Dinner Party damage is far from over.

If you thought the chaos ended when the plates stopped flying… think again.

This episode dives deep into:

• Brook’s complete lack of accountability after bullying Alissa and Stella

• The ongoing mean-girl dynamics and selective amnesia at the Commitment Ceremony

• Gia switching sides, rewriting history, and blaming Scott (and their argument) for her feud with the girls

• Danny being an absolute weasel - and why we believe his behaviour towards Bec shows clear signs of gaslighting and coercive control

• Why “I respect women” is the biggest red flag of all 🚩

We break down how manipulation shows up in subtle ways, how accountability is dodged in plain sight, and why this week’s ceremony exposed the real power plays happening behind the scenes.

PLUS:

• The emotional and psychological aftermath of the Dinner Party

• How alliances shift when cameras keep rolling

• Why this week felt darker, heavier, and more uncomfortable than usual

This episode is a RIDE. Buckle up, diallers.

Before we dive into the absolute carnage that followed the Married at First Sight Australia Dinner Party, we start with a few very important housekeeping items.

First up: a formal apology from Jayde. After feedback from the diallers, Jayde addresses her slight distraction in the previous episode (yes, there was a major purchase involved). Accountability has been taken. The girls move on.

Then it’s a full life recap:

• Amy recaps Tour de Amour - her curated pub crawl on Friday night

• Diallers are asked the big question: would you come to a Tour de Amour community catch-up?

• “Number Three” confesses his love to Amy

• Amy accidentally hard launches a relationship she isn’t even sure exists (status: yet to be confirmed)

• A recap of Amy’s unhinged ChatGPT therapy session from Saturday

AND THEN… we get into it.

We deep dive into the aftermath of the MAFS Dinner Party, unpacking:

• The bullying behaviour from Brook and Gia toward Stella and Alissa

• Why this week crossed a line from drama into something much darker

• Brook’s public apology - and the private apology sent directly to Alissa

• A cast member sliding into our DMs attempting to shift accountability for their actions

• The broader implications of mean-girl dynamics on MAFS

We wrap up with predictions for tonight’s Commitment Ceremony:

• Who’s staying

• Who’s going

• And who we think producers are desperately trying to save

On Episode 13 of 1-800 CHAT LINE, we unpack Married at First Sight Australia Season 13, Episode 14 - featuring two new intruder weddings and some seriously questionable behaviour already raising alarm bells.

This week, we meet:

• Tyson & Stephanie

• Joel & Juliette

And honestly… where do we even start?

Tyson proudly labels himself a “MAGA” lover (yes, that kind), openly expressing views that set off every red flag imaginable. From anti-“woke” rhetoric to deeply uncomfortable comments, we break down why his attitudes immediately feel incompatible with the experiment - and why viewers are right to be concerned.

Meanwhile, Joel’s reception speech, followed by his mother’s speech, left us (and the guests) stunned. Awkward, bizarre, and oddly intense - we analyse why this wedding felt less romantic and more unsettling.

We also tease exclusive insider information from a cast member early in the episode - and circle back to it at the end 👀

PLUS:

• Tensions quietly bubbling between Gia and Bec, who attended Joel and Juliet’s wedding together

• Bec reveals she’s holding back - choosing to save an explosive confrontation for this week’s Dinner Party

• Why this storyline feels like it’s about to erupt… and soon

On Episode 14 of 1-800 CHATLINE, we recap and react to Married at First Sight Australia Season 13, Episodes 15 & 16 - and honestly… this might be our most unhinged breakdown yet.

The honeymoons are officially underway, and this is where the red flags turn neon.

🔥 Tyson’s misogyny fully bubbles to the surface as he and Stephanie clash over body count. Tyson argues that a woman’s body count should be zero, while a man’s “doesn’t count” because of testosterone and urges.

Yes - he actually says that.

Yes - we absolutely unpack it.

💍 We also meet Chris & Sam, the experiment’s first gay couple, and break down their wedding, chemistry, and our undying love for the pair.

🍷 Then comes that Dinner Party.

Bec completely derails the night, turning it into what we dub “The Bec Show.”

She’s officially crowned Auntie Beck - loud, chaotic, shardy in hand, and absolutely unstoppable.

😈 Juliette is quickly becoming the most controversial character of the season. We break down the behaviour, the dynamics at play, and why the audience is turning.

💔 While some couples surprisingly show real progress, others are clearly hanging by a thread. We talk through which relationships might actually survive the experiment… and which ones feel completely beyond saving.

🚪 The biggest moment of the night? Tyson’s shock walkout. We break down what led to the dramatic exit, how the room reacted, and what it could mean for the future of his relationship in the experiment.

📧 The girls unpack a very unexpected email from Phil Dickinson, which sparks a chaotic discussion about family dynamics, life advice, and unsolicited commentary.

📻 We also dive into the shock radio news surrounding Kyle & Jackie O, including the drama around them walking away from a reported $200M deal and what it means for Australian radio and pop culture commentary.

🙏 Formal apology time.

We also need to address our last episode… which frankly should never have been published. It was not funny, questionable, and possibly one of the worst podcast episodes ever recorded. Once again, we are deeply sorry.

On Episode 19 of 1-800 CHAT LINE, we dive into two of the messiest episodes of the season so far — the MAFS Couples Retreat and the explosive Dinner Party that followed… and let’s just say the drama escalated fast.

🏕️ The Couples Retreat turns chaotic.
What was supposed to help the couples reconnect quickly becomes a pressure cooker. Old tensions resurface, alliances start forming, and some relationships completely unravel when the group is forced to spend extended time together. We break down which couples actually benefited from the retreat… and which ones left worse than when they arrived.

🍷 Then comes the Dinner Party — and it’s brutal.
The retreat fallout spills straight onto the table, with confrontations, accusations, and some very uncomfortable group moments. A few cast members find themselves firmly in the hot seat, while others attempt to defend their relationships against growing scepticism from the group.

💥 Cracks are turning into full-blown fractures.
We talk through the couples who look like they’re quietly strengthening behind the chaos… and the ones that now seem completely past the point of repair.

We finally get Aunty Bec on the phone for a rapid-fire round - and she does not hold back. From behind-the-scenes insights to what really went down at Gia’s birthday, this is the insider tea you won’t hear anywhere else.

🎂 Gia’s Birthday Party Drama

New details emerge about Gia’s birthday - and let’s just say, the dynamics are deeper (and messier) than what made it to screen.

🍽️ Dinner Party Explosion

We unpack the dinner party where tensions between Alyssa, Bec and Gia hit boiling point. Alliances shift, emotions run high, and the cracks in the group dynamic become impossible to ignore.

💘 Danny & Bec Go Official… Kind Of

Danny and Bec take the next step and become girlfriend and boyfriend - but in true MAFS fashion, Danny calls it a downgrade. We discuss.

🧠 Scott’s Realisation: “Are We in a Cult?”

Scott - aka the troll in the dungeon - has a full epiphany and starts questioning everything, including whether Gia is running the group like a cult. Honestly… valid?

We dial in Aunty Bec, who gives her own highly detailed version of events - both on and off camera. She spills, she speculates, and she somehow gives us even more insight into why she might be… slightly delusional.

💔 Sam & Chris: Done?

We’re calling it - based on absolutely nothing - Sam and Chris have officially unravelled. We break down the “why” behind our completely fabricated theory.

🥁 Steven, Drums & Questionable Decisions

Let’s just say… Steven’s musical talents may have led to some post-performance antics with Rachael. We discuss.

🍽️ Dinner Party Mayhem (Allegedly)

We imagine the fights, the alliances, the walkouts - and honestly, it feels real enough to be canon.

👨‍👩‍👧 Home Stays Week

From awkward interrogations to chaotic energy shifts, we reconstruct what must have gone down when the inner circles got involved.

🕊️ A Note on Mel Schilling

We also take a moment to acknowledge Mel Schilling and the impact she’s had on the MAFS community. She’s been a huge part of the show, and we reflect on how loved and recognisable she is to viewers.

If you’re watching MAFS for:

• Dinner party drama (real or imagined)

• Wild relationship theories

• Reality TV chaos and hot takes

• Questionable behaviour and even more questionable analysis

• Laughing at how wrong we probably are

…this episode is for you.

On Episode 24 of 1-800 CHAT LINE, we’re back (slightly more informed… but still chaotic) as we break down the MAFS Australia commitment ceremony, the final challenge, and a very important Amy love life update.

🚨 Plot twist: we still didn’t watch the last two episodes.

So naturally…

📞 We dial in Aunty Bec.

She steps in as our boots-on-the-ground correspondent, delivering a full, detailed recap of everything we missed — including the dinner party, commitment ceremony cracks, and the absolute chaos of the final challenge.

💔 Who Left the Experiment?

Aunty Bec confirms that Chris & Sam were the only couple to leave, while everyone else chose to stay (for reasons we absolutely question).

💥 Commitment Ceremony Cracks

Trouble in paradise for some of the strongest couples:

• Alyssa & David 👀

• Gia & Scott 👀

Things are starting to unravel… and we discuss.

🛁 Final Challenge: Partner Swap Chaos

Yes, it happened. And yes, it was unhinged.

• Scott & David literally hiding in the bathroom from their alternate matches

• Danny thriving, entertaining not only his match but everyone else’s

• Alyssa and Gia both getting very involved with their swap partners (unexpected energy shift???)

🍷 Amy’s Love Life Update

Amy debriefs her latest date and asks the age-old question:

Why do we ever get excited for dates… when they end in emotional damage and a solo Monday night wine spiral?

😂 New Era Begins

With MAFS wrapping up, this marks the start of our new format - diving deeper into:

• Love life chaos

• Comedy

• Pop culture

Same energy. Broader chaos.

On Episode 27 of 1-800 CHAT LINE… we pivot. Again.

This week takes a sharp (and slightly unhinged) turn into what we’re calling Dangerous Dating - a new segment that somehow starts chaotic… and ends deeply serious.

And yes, for once… Jayde gets airtime.

🎙️ Welcome to the Chaos Era

The theme of today’s episode?

Kidnapping. Specifically… men.

Before we go any further, a quick disclaimer:

The activities discussed in this episode were conducted under highly questionable judgment and we absolutely do not recommend trying this at home.

Seriously.

👀 Amy’s “First Date” Strategy

Amy walks us through the time she low-key kidnapped a man for a first date.

Was it romantic?

Was it criminal?

Was it… effective?

You decide.

🚨 Jayde’s Plot Twist

In a turn no one saw coming, Jayde shares her own story…

Except hers isn’t funny.

She actually got kidnapped.

What starts as a light, chaotic dating segment quickly shifts into something much deeper - and we didn’t see it coming.

❤️ Amy Falls in Love (Again)

In completely unsurprising news, Amy has fallen in love for the 10th time this financial year.

This time?

He’s planned her perfect first date…

Which will involve…

Before we get into the business of it all, we unpack Brooke’s unexpected brush with Married at First Sight - because of course we do.

Then we get into what she does best:

Sharp insights, smarter takes, and absolutely carrying us intellectually for the rest of the episode.

☎️ Dialers Dial In: Hot Takes Only

The dialers came THROUGH this week with their hottest, most unfiltered opinions - and we:

• Debate

• Dissect

• Dive in

• (Attempt to) keep up with Brooke

It quickly turns into a live group debate where Brooke takes the lead… because frankly, she has more insights than Amy and Jayde combined.

🏆 Brooke’s Favourite Takes

We wrap with Brooke’s top hot takes from the day - the ones that actually made her think, react, or spiral.

This week, Amy and Jayde unpack every chaotic development in their romantic lives, plus Amy introduces her official formula for making new friends as a mature adult - because apparently dating isn’t the only social experiment happening right now.

🧵 Jayde’s Invisible String Theory
Jayde explains her invisible string theory with new man, and honestly?
The coincidences are getting suspicious.

Are they soulmates?
Is the universe intervening?
Or is she just connecting dots like a conspiracy theorist with a crush?

The jury’s still out.

Amy gives the full breakdown of her latest date - officially Date 11 in her quest for 50 first dates.

On Episode 29 of 1-800 CHAT LINE… we have huge news.

Jayde has officially quit the podcast.

Before anyone spirals: we’re still on amicable terms, still roommates, and allegedly still best friends according to ChatGPT. So naturally, the show must go on.

Enter: new semi-permanent co-host Sasha Heath.

This week, Amy and Sasha unpack who Sasha actually is, how they met, and why this friendship somehow escalated into podcast co-hosting responsibilities.

We also debut our brand new segment: Men Being Dodgy™.

Because unfortunately there’s simply too much material.

🤠 Amy’s Love Life Update

Against all odds… cowboy/ranch king is still in the picture.

Things are going well enough that Amy has officially quit the dating series and declared herself off the market. She doesn’t want to get ahead of herself, but for the first time in a long time, she might actually like someone normal.

Or at least emotionally available enough to text back.

🚩 Situationships That Ruin You

Amy and Sasha unpack the kinds of situationships that genuinely alter your brain chemistry, including:

• men who breadcrumb professionally

• relationships that never technically started but somehow still destroyed you

• why “we’re just seeing how things go” should qualify as psychological warfare

📱 AL-GO or AL-NO

The ultimate red flag detection system.

Amy and Sasha discuss the key indicator of whether a man is good or deeply concerning:

his algorithm.

That’s right — we’re judging men entirely based on the content they consume online.

Because if his feed is:

• gym bro podcasts

• girls interviewing billionaires on yachts

• “high value male” content

…we regret to inform you it may already be over.

On Episode 30 of 1-800 CHAT LINE, Amy is issuing a formal apology.

Just one week after dramatically announcing she was leaving the dating market forever, she’s back.

After spending a deeply committed two weeks in what was clearly going to be a lifelong relationship, Amy has now completed the five stages of grief following a devastating breakup and officially re-entered the dating trenches.

The dating series is back.

Unfortunately.

Joining Amy this week is Sasha Heath as they unpack the absolute state of modern dating, why everyone is exhausted by dating apps, and how we’ve somehow reached a point where every man is an “avoidant” instead of simply admitting he’s an eff-boy.

💔 Amy’s Breakup Era
A relationship began.
A relationship ended.
A lesson was learned.

Amy shares what happened, why she’s back on the apps, and why dating in your 30s somehow feels both more self-aware and more chaotic than ever.

📱 Dating App Burnout Is Real
Why does modern dating feel like a second full-time job?

Amy and Sasha discuss:
• endless swiping
• dating fatigue
• situationship culture
• the emotional exhaustion of constantly starting over
• why everyone seems to be looking for a connection but nobody wants to commit

🧠 Has Therapy Speak Ruined Accountability?
A controversial conversation about:
• attachment styles
• avoidant men
• therapy language on TikTok
• weaponised self-awareness
• why some people are using psychology terms to avoid taking responsibility for their behaviour

Because sometimes he’s not an avoidant.

Sometimes he’s just not that interested.

😵‍💫 The Loneliness Epidemic & Comparison Culture
Why are so many people feeling behind in life?

Amy and Sasha unpack:
• social media comparison
• feeling late to milestones
• being single in your 30s
• friendship, relationships and societal pressure
• why everyone’s highlight reel is making us question our own timeline

Spoiler alert: the timeline might actually be complete BS.

❤️ Healing, Therapy & Growing Up
The girls also open up about past emotionally abusive relationships, difficult experiences with therapy, and how getting older has made them more confident, self-aware and far less willing to tolerate nonsense.

🎧 In this episode:

On Episode 31 of 1-800 CHAT LINE… we begin with not one, not two, but three formal apologies.

Potentially three and a half.

We then dive into a weekend recap, including Amy’s 33rd birthday celebrations, proof that she still hasn’t grown up, and confirmation that she remains very much single and deep in the trenches.

There was also an unexpected run-in with someone from Amy’s past.

No, you won’t guess who.

👕 The Indie Clinton Conversation

This week, Amy and Sasha unpack the t-shirt that had the media talking, the renewed discussion around Ben Azar’s unfair dismissal case, and the way Indie Clinton continues to be portrayed in mainstream media.

Why does the conversation around female influencers always seem to become something much bigger?

💄 The Death of the Clean Girl Aesthetic

Are we witnessing the end of the clean girl era?

Amy and Sasha discuss why the internet seems to be moving away from minimalist perfection and why chaotic, messy, party-girl energy is making a comeback.

🚩 Men Who Were Cheated On Once and Never Recovered

You know the type.

A man gets cheated on at 15 years old and somehow it’s still being used as evidence in every relationship conversation 20 years later.

Amy and Sasha discuss why some people use past relationship trauma as an explanation for their behaviour without ever actually doing anything to heal from it.

📚 Boy Sober?

This week’s obsession is It’s Not Love, Actually by Dee Selman.

After listening to the audiobook, Amy and Sasha discuss the concept of being “boy sober,” why everyone seems to be talking about it right now, and whether removing men from the equation might actually be the key to inner peace.

Will they be committing to a boy sober era?

The answer may disappoint you.
