Liz talks about her first humiliationship, and why it wasn’t humiliating at all but actually kind of iconic to care that much and be fully chalant. She also relives the best day of her life: seeing the Backstreet Boys at the Sphere and realizing they are basically the first documented case of men written by a woman. And because the patriarchy is still with us, Liz answers a listener question about how to date in 2025 when everything is hell. Please keep sending us your boy problems we love reading them! 💕

This week starts with a high-stakes investigation: is the apartment’s latest intruder a roach or something worse? Liz reminisces about the time she got engaged to a bag of Doritos, talks about all her exes getting pregnant at the same time, and makes the case for why being a lover girl is still elite even if it means crushing on athletes who give facetime tattoo tours. As always, your boy problems take center stage, so keep them coming because we are obsessed.

On this episode of Boy Problems we go to a Coldplay concert, meet the Stanley Cup, and wake up in bed in Miami so obviously we had to record. We unpack immigrant family dynamics, in-law chaos, and what to do with a messy wife. We also debrief our life-changing, soul-rearranging sleepover with the one and only Rupi Kaur, poet, icon, and now unofficial relationship therapist. Is the white woman way the right way? TBD. Keep sending your boy problems. We’re thriving on the drama.

We heard you. We read the comments. We saw the DMs. You wanted more Nick and honestly, same. So we delivered. America’s emotional support boyfriend is back on the pod. He’s here to walk us through heartbreak, sociopaths, the first time he got a boner, and what women still don’t understand about men. Warning: listening to Nick may cause side effects such as restored faith in humanity, sudden emotional regulation, and wanting to slide in nick’s dms (he’s @nickcianci) Listen at your own risk!! And keep sending us your boy problems!!

Liz gets a text from her ex on the same day a global war is announced because the universe loves dramatic timing. In this vulnerable, emotionally chaotic episode, she spirals  (poetically) through heartbreak, geopolitics, and why she longs for the simpler, more delusional days of dating in the 2010s. Was love easier during the Cold War? Probably not. But it feels like it was. Plus: Liz does the whole episode from bed, and answers fresh Boy Problems, including whether being delulu is the solulu.

Heather Graham pulls up to Boy Problems and proves she’s MOTHER, both literally and spiritually. We talk breakups, boundaries, boosting your baddie energy, and why saying no is the new self-care. Liz and Heather also discuss the underrated power of millennial vibes, and why everyone could stand to be just a little bit more Millennial in this chaotic world.

In this episode of Boy Problems, Liz is joined by comedian and chaos queen Mary Beth Barone to unpack the existential crisis that is dating in 2025. Is it just us, or did dating apps turn into job interviews where no one shows up prepared? We talk ghosting, gut instincts, and why today’s romantic landscape feels like a choice between polyamory and total isolation. From the death of monogamy to the rise of the situationship economy, we ask the hard questions like should we get four boyfriends, or just give up and become celibate? Either way, we’re keeping the group chat updated.

A chronically single woman and a happily married woman walk into a podcast… to talk about loneliness, loyalty, and learning how to love without losing yourself.
