Dear Shandy

It's Caller Day! Our caller, Maya, may be in a happy, healthy relationship, but she's at a crossroads. If you've ever been in a longterm relationship and felt marriage should be a given, you just may relate to Maya's (all too common) situation. Just how long is *too* long to wait for a partner's certainty? This just might be our most heated caller conversation to date.

Have you ever wondered what dating and relationships are like when you're a celebrity? How do famous folks meet these days, and when they do, what's different? Do they behave differently in dating than the rest of us, and do "civilians" stand a real chance with them? Our resident celeb is comedian, famed roaster, and podcast host Nikki Glaser! She is brutally honest in her assessment of dating at her (self-assessed) "B-list" level of fame, her own celebrity crushes (including some of Bachelor Nation's finest), and the do's and don'ts of sliding into the DMs of the rich and famous. In addition to being simply hilarious and her trademark unfiltered self, Nikki has poignant takes on love and "The One"—do NOT miss this one!

These two have a particularly unique meeting story that just might renew your faith in pandemic dating.

It's Caller Day! Our caller, Kate, has a unique predicament that veers into discussions about mismatched Love Languages and our cultural expectations surrounding proposals. How much does a formal "Will you marry me" *really* matter, and does a man's reticence to deliver on this gender role tradition speak to a deeper problem?

Have you ever watched a reality TV dating show and wondered what that poker-faced host is REALLY thinking? As Temptation Island fans and general admirers of its host Mark L Walberg's piercing commentary, we're thrilled he agreed to join us for a Confessions episode! Temptation Island brings on four straight real-life couples who are at crossroads in their relationships, separates them for a month, and has them live with (very forward) straight singles of the opposite sex. It originally debuted in 2001, at the start of the reality TV boom, and was rebooted in 2019.

As the host of a show with an obviously controversial concept, how does Mark navigate the usual trappings of reality TV "trash"? Does he make his own personal predictions about the couples and their outcomes? Does he pick favorites among them? How much does he really know when heading into a "bonfire"? How has Mark's own marriage informed his ability to spot and call out destructive relationship behavior? Mark is a very open and endearingly honest guest, and whether or not you're a fan of Temptation Island, his perspectives on relationships, love, and life are worth listening to.

In case you're interested in dipping your toe into Temptation Island, Sharleen's favorite season is Season 4 (or Season 1 of the reboot), and Andy's is Season 5 (or Season 2 of the reboot).

It's Q&A time! We're back, answering YOUR burning questions. 🔥 How normal are growing pains when you and your partner first live together, and is it too harsh to deem your partner's living habits unattractive? If you think you're falling for your soon-to-be-roommate—who also happens to be 6 years younger than you—should you explore this or let it go? If you're "cloaked" by someone on a dating app, even after making plans, should you call out their rude behavior?

It's Love Fest time! 🎉 Today's happy couple is downright iconic in Bachelor Nation: Desiree and Chris Siegfried! We recorded this after they were able to put their boys to bed on the West Coast, which resulted in a very late night and thus very delirious/loopy/giggly chat. Truthfully, this couple exceeded every (already high) expectation: they're refreshingly real and down-to-earth, and simply fun to hang out with. They share how they complement each other, how kids have transformed their relationship, and of course, how they FIGHT! Finally, a particularly amusing Dear Shandy Newlyweds Game! Who knows who better?

It's Caller Day! Our caller, Elise, has a predicament that might resonate if you've ever lusted after a close friend. If you found yourself in love with your close friend-turned-roommate, what would you do? What if said roommate had a longterm girlfriend, yet simultaneously seemed to reciprocate your affections? Today's call went in a different direction than originally expected, which really shows the difference between a written email and a true conversation.
