    Just in time for Valentine’s Day, we’re reading the most unhinged worst date stories you sent in — and whew… some of y’all have been THROUGH it. Worst date story highlights A guy followed someone all the way to a police station… you won't believe what happens next. Someone accidentally texted their friend “this date is awful”… but it didn't go to the right person... A date disappeared for 35 minutes and was caught mid drug deal. Yes, you read that right. A grown adult pulled a childhood teddy bear out of her purse and started talking to it (with a voice). WHAT THE HECK? An ankle monitor buzzed all night because the guy was drinking margaritas in a bar… while being monitored.A man saw a dead duck on the road, reversed, and said: “That’s fresh.” (As in, let's go back and eat it...)Plus: Sophia gets locked out of a hotel room with no pants on (classic), and Bradley refuses to share his “horrific” story… again. 😅 CHECK OUT OUR SPONSOR: Cozy Earth  The brand behind the softest, most luxurious cuddle blanket and the pajama set Sophia is fully obsessed with. 100-night sleep trial10-year warrantyUse code ROSES for up to 20% offShop: CozyEarth.com  And if you get a post-purchase survey, tell them you heard about Cozy Earth from Relatable with the Roses.

We rate it, we argue about it, and we want YOU to watch it and tell us who’s right. And... 💘 Valentine’s Day: Romantic, Lazy, or Red Flag? You sent us your best and worst Valentine’s gifts, and we put them on trial. 🧇 Final Thoughts Yes, we waffled. Yes, we argued about fictional afterlife marriage choices.

    Ep 33 | Feel-Good Headlines, Emotional PJs + Bradley Wore Bed Slippers to the GP

    The world feels like A Lot™ right now… so this week we decided to be your emotional support scroll. We’re sharing a roundup of positive, hopeful, and straight-up weird headlines from the news — the kind of stories that make you smile, shake your head, or say, “Wait… WHAT?” Think feel-good wins, funny moments, and the kind of internet stories that remind us humanity is still kind of adorable sometimes. But of course… we also go wildly off track. Because: us. In this episode, we also get into: ✨ Matthew McConaughey’s… energy We attempt to unpack his undeniable something — is it confidence? Is it voice? Is it just pure Southern sorcery? 👶 The things we do for our partners… that they don’t even notice Sophia shares the very thoughtful (and very ignored) moment of saving Grayson’s cutest pajamas for Bradley’s bedtime shift… only for him to barely register them. We talk about how the things that feel meaningful to one person don’t always land the same way with the other — and why that actually matters. 🏃‍♂️ Bradley accidentally leaving the house in his BED SLIPPERS A frantic, late-to-the-GP moment leads to a very questionable footwear choice in public. Yes, we discuss. 📱 Is Bradley getting old?! Because he has started signing his text messages like emails. First name. Full stop. Possibly spiritual grandfather energy. As always, it’s part relationship deep dive, part chaos, part “how did we get here?” If you needed a break from heavy news and serious life stuff, this is your permission slip to just hang out with us for a bit 💛 Connect with Us: 👉 Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bradandsophia 👉 Submit future questions, topic suggestions, or respond to listener prompts: directtobradandsophia@gmail.com
