Dive in with us as we play a game this episode - this or that: perfect date edition. What do we do when both options are great? How ever will we choose?? Or, what do we decide - or finagle - when both options really aren't our cup of tea. Yikes.

Step into a time machine and journey back to the radical 1990s with us in this nostalgia-packed episode of This or That. Our dynamic duo dives deep into the pop culture pool of the 90s, challenging each other and listeners to choose between iconic pairings from the decade that gave us girl power and the latest must-have toys. From TGIF to chart-topping boy bands, and from beloved dolls to virtual pets, we cover it all in a fast-paced, laugh-filled trip down memory lane.

Things get heated when the age-old question of Backstreet Boys vs. *NSync comes up, with one of us insisting "Everybody" knows BSB is superior, while the other one argues that "It's Gonna Be Me" who has the last laugh in this debate. Whether you're Team Backstreet Boys or Team *NSync (or secretly still can't decide), this episode is guaranteed to hit you right in the nostalgia feels.

Join us for our Season 1 finale as we dive into two delightful summer quizzes! First, we uncover our dream vacations based on our personalities and preferences. From tropical getaways to thrilling adventures, we share our quiz results and discuss the allure of each destination. We may poke a little fun at ourselves for eagerly accepting our quiz-determined dream vacations, but hey, who are we to argue with the all-knowing quizzes?

Next, we transport ourselves back to the 90s with an AI-generated quiz that captures the essence of the ultimate 90s summer. We test our knowledge of iconic fashion, music, TV shows, and snacks, while sharing nostalgic stories from our own 90s summer experiences.

As always, we engage in lively discussions, laughter, and offer advice from our perspectives as women in our 30s and 40s. We invite you to take the quizzes with us, share your dream vacations, and reminisce about your favorite 90s summer memories.

So, grab your sunscreen, crank up that 90s playlist, and join us for a delightful episode filled with summer inspiration, nostalgia, and a whole lot of fun!

Julia Stiles Reading the Poem from “10 Things I Hate About You”

On this week's episode, we're diving deep into the world of body language and nonverbal cues that may signal romantic attraction. We'll be dissecting a listicle that claims to reveal 11 signs someone is into you.

Do we agree?  Do we disagree?  From lingering eye contact to accidental touching, we'll leave no stone unturned.  We have some thoughts!  Because let's be real, sometimes a lingering gaze is just someone zoning out, and that accidental brush against your arm could simply be a clumsy moment – or is it?

Who knows? You might just learn a thing or two about decoding those subtle signals or, at the very least, have a good laugh at our expense.

Feeling lost in the dating world? Wondering how to find someone who values you while keeping your self-worth intact? In this episode, we dive deep into a listener's question about navigating dating while staying true to yourself.
