I Hear You, Babe

Dino Malvone

I Hear You, Babe is your weekly voice note from someone who overshares for a living. Hosted by Dino Malvone—founder of SaltDrop, full-time feeler, part-time hater—this pod is where we unpack the mess, the magic, the spirals, and the stuff you should probably still be talking about in therapy. Some episodes will make you laugh so hard you snort. Others might have you crying in your car outside a CVS. Either way: you’re not alone. I hear you. I got you.  Let’s get into it.

    45. Why Are Men?

    Send us Fan Mail why are men… i did not raise these men but here i am, full-time translator. a man wore patti smith's face to a date and didn't know her name. another wore cargo shorts to a french bistro. one mid-act in murray hill said "ravishing" — with vibrato. also: the pentagon is now the "department of war." the white house emailed a reporter an alien emoji. a family in vegas filed a 911 report on a 10-foot non-human entity in their backyard. we close on the hardest version of the question — a divorced mom watching her ex-husband become dad of the year six months after the marriage ended. this is part one. part two next week. ihearyoubabepod@gmail.com 🍋⚖️ Support the show

    44. Situationship Court Is Now in Session (Welcome to the Docket)

    Send us Fan Mail all rise. situationship court is officially in session. dino is the judge, the jury, and occasionally the defense attorney depending on the case. this week's prompt: bring me your most confusing almost-relationship. define the charges. who's on trial — them or you? the inbox showed up. a man with a toothbrush at her apartment who "wasn't sure where they were on the meeting friends thing." a two-year secret long-distance situationship with a best friend's brother. the relapse situationship four cycles deep. and a guy who canceled their Portugal trip and then took his ex on the same trip three weeks later (court was NOT prepared). also: government UFO files just dropped, but is this disclosure or Doty? a deep dive into the Aviary, the Red Book, the Yellow Book, and why Tartaria is probably russian propaganda. the Should I Marry a Murderer Netflix doc that should have been forty minutes. and three of dino's own exhibits — the Real World guy, the SoulCycle guy, and the friend who was never officially anything. next week's prompt: WHY do men do the things they do? get your theories in by sunday. ihearyoubabepod@gmail.com ⚖️🍋 Support the show

    43. She Was a Different Person Before Him

    Send us Fan Mail we’ve all watched someone disappear into a relationship. the quieter laugh. the new opinions. the boots that mysteriously vanished. this week’s prompt: tell me about someone you watched change. or tell me if that person was you. a broken coffee table. a man who weighed his cereal with airpods in. a friend in a peach dress watching the smartest weirdest person she knows marry someone who finds her “a little much.” a husband who’s been “bullish” at brunch since 2021. also: i fear you, babe deep dive is out this Thursday — a missing italian volleyball player, a medium, animal bones in a river.

    42. The Red Flag Support Group (Welcome, We've All Been Here)

    Send us Fan Mail the red flag support group is now in session. hi my name is dino, i saw the red flag, and i waved back. some of us waved enthusiastically. some of us decorated the flag. some of us asked the red flag to move in and then acted surprised when it was still a red flag inside our apartment. this week: seven dates with a man who loved his ex more than her. the waiter who knew before she did. the woman who thought she was the exception to "women are too dramatic." a friendship that ended not with a fight but with enough cancelled plans that there was nothing left to cancel. a hiring manager who presented someone else's idea as her own while making eye contact. a man who called therapy a crutch — she did not tell him he was the reason she needed it. and a closer from a woman who didn't ignore her red flags. she decorated them. and lost both the relationship and the story she'd built around it. also: april in new york and it is FREEZING. jay shetty's wedding officiant era. shots at the white house correspondents' dinner. carly aquilino forever. full-time feeler. part-time hater. weekly voice note. send your mess to ihearyoubabepod@gmail.com. 🚩 Support the show

    40. We Need to Talk About the Almost-Relationship

    Send us Fan Mail Dino is recording with a stye today. He showed up anyway. This week: a sidewalk tarot reader rolling a booger mid-reading, thoughts on Melania, and why the number of unsolved murders in this country is actually unhinged. Dino is on the case. He does not have a badge. Then the inbox. Seven months of "same." A spreadsheet with a vibe rating column. Kind of my person, in a general sense. And the woman who's still in it and knows exactly why she's staying. Three more emails drop on Patreon tomorrow. Send your stories to IHearYouBabePod@gmail.com. I hear you. I got you.

    39. Bestie Breakups Hit Different Vol. 2

    Send us Fan Mail Hello and welcome back to I Hear You, Babe. This week we're talking about the friendship breakup — not the dramatic kind with a fight and a moment you can point to, but the slow kind. The one where you look up one day and realize the person you used to call about everything has become someone you see four times a year and call it fine. Before the emails, Dino talks about Canyon Ranch (and how the other half lives), a feature in Athleisure Magazine, the SaltDrop rebrand that's coming, and a big idea he's been sitting on — the Babe Network. If you have a podcast idea you've been holding onto, this is your sign to send it in. Then we get into the inbox. A group chat that fires twice a year and is held together entirely by heart emojis. A best friend who keeps referencing the earlier draft of you like she wants you to go back. A ghost — the slow-motion kind, and the guilt that has nowhere to go. A twenty-two year history that feels like a debt you don't know how to stop paying. A friendship that wasn't built for who you both became. The friend who needs more than you have. The one who peaked in 2017 and has been living off the Portugal story ever since. And a closer that will make you think about someone you haven't called in four months.

    38. Whose Dream Is This, Actually?

    Send us Fan Mail Dino's been sober for seven days, just made a hard business decision, and is somehow still at the studio on a Sunday morning with a 7-Eleven coffee. That's the vibe. This week we're talking about ambition — specifically whose dream you've actually been chasing. Dino gets into the SaltDrop origin story, what it really costs to build something from scratch versus directing someone else's vision, and why losing Dude a few months ago has a way of making you ask what any of it is actually for. Then we get into the inbox. And babe — you all delivered. A consultant who's been standing outside a bookshop every Saturday morning for years and finally said it out loud. A wellness entrepreneur with a sage green color palette and 47 views on her best day who is now a therapist. A Filipino mom who let go of her version of her daughter in four seconds. A florist who got the promotion, sat in her car, felt nothing, and left eight months later. A first-gen kid performing success for an audience that already went home. And a dancer who stopped at 24 and just got back on the barre on Tuesday nights — not to be good at it, just to be in the room. One more email is coming to Patreon. You'll want to hear it. Next week's prompt: the little things that irk you. Send your stories to IHearYouBabePod@gmail.com. I hear you. I got you.
