This week Liz hangs out with—okay, lies down with—mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, who joins us from the bed in his office to decide if having a boyfriend is embarrassing and to finally weigh in on the male loneliness crisis. Then we crawl into Padma Lakshmi’s bed to talk vibrators, brain crushes, and whether we should ever suck it up for sex.

It’s officially Hopecore Friday, and this week, hope meets hotness. Bombshell guest Keeley Hazell and Liz are on their first date, and nothing is left to the imagination. Keeley brings the title of world’s most famous topless woman to the chat, and the pair take on what it means to be sexy in a patriarchy. Is embracing your sexuality empowerment or a survival mechanism? Why do women get judged for creating the content that men indulge in? And how can we recognize our own internalized sexism, even if we call ourselves a feminist? 

Hopecore is our safe haven - a cozy spot to land after a crazy week, that wouldn’t be possible without you. Keep leaving your comments, ratings, questions and reviews - the love from this community has truly made our wildest hopes and dreams come true!

He’s been the President of the United States, an astronaut landing on the moon, a supernatural super villain, and the voice of Tarzan. But Tony Goldwyn’s most dazzling, inspired, improvised, and sincere role is undeniably dad.

And of course, Tony & Anna bring their wisdom and lived-experience to your boy problems - how to come together when you’re far apart, and the importance of loving someone for who they are.

Our most beloved Boy Problems guest is back, and we’re wrestling with a question the world has been keeping quiet - why don’t men freeze their sperm more often, if they have a biological clock too? On their quest to solve the problem of the geriatric ejaculation, Liz and Nick uncover why applying lotion can either be sexy, or a red flag, how women often gaslight themselves to protect men, and the keys to knowing how someone is truly right for you, all in the name of this week’s boy problems.
