Exactly What I Needed

This podcast series is both rich and HILARIOUS! Literally the content that I need during this weird time - not only to hear prime dating advice and experiences, but just for my daily dosage of laughter too. They say that laughter is a social behavior, but I found myself cracking up by myself multiple times 😂 thanks for sharing!! 🙏🏽

I’m turned on.

The conversation. The accent. The advice. WOW. Following this!
PS, Rita, you’re rocking it at as a host. Also, you sound like a girl I met at Binghamton alongside a gravity bong circa 2003. Any ideas?

An honest look at relationships

If you’re single (and even if you’re not!) I highly recommend you listen to this entertaining, hilarious and super insightful mom and daughter duo. I burst out loud laughing on my first listen.
