  • The Ultimatum Queer Love: How To Know You're Dating A Player

    Our first Queer Reality Dating TV Coverage!!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhh! We're so excited but... Netflix, we have some notes. Listen to this full episode to get our take on where the popular streaming platform didn't do any favors for us by leaving out the cast's pronouns and hiring a cis-straight host?! Wtf.


    Anywho, the red flags are impossible to ignore even from episode one. Take this journey with us as we get to know the couples in the first and second episode of The Ultimatum: Queer Love. Listen to who we think are in a healthy position to be taking the next step toward greater commitment and why. If you have a lot of thoughts on Vanessa and her dynamic with Lexi, Rae, Xander, and literally everyone else... you'll want to join us on this episode. Lexi gives us a play by play on how to spot a player.


    Also if you're curious, you can listen to us dish on who we're personally already crushing on. Reminder: Ultimatum's are never appropriate! But harmless flirting is ;)

  • Love Is Blind: How To Guarantee Your Relationship Fails

    Welcome back to the pod! This week on Ditch The Script, we cover episodes 7 and 8 of Netflix's Love is Blind Season 4. This season is turning out to be a masterclass in how to ensure a relationship NEVER works out, and we call it all in this episode. Alex and Brianna note a lot of ways that some of the couples are putting each other down and missing key opportunities to actually open up room for honest conversation to explore their needs. Some of these couples need to be exploring their needs independently... we said what we said! One couple in particular is showing us all the green flags though and this week Alex and Brianna get specific about what can be found in their secret sauce, *cough* validation and emotional regulation *cough cough*


    BUT first! We catch up with our hosts to figure out how the girls have spent their weekends and still managing to record a solid af episode for yall, because priorities!!

  • Love Is Blind: Spotting Emotional Manipulation

    You asked and we listened! Ditch The Script begins a deep dive into Season 4 of Love is Blind for your listening pleasure ;) While starting a new Love is Blind season is always a chaotic scene to make sense of, you can trust us to do it with quirk and giggles. Listen along as we get familiar with all of the main players, and we mean all of them, and start to notice the earliest signs of love bombing, emotional manipulation, relationship testing, and mean girl behavior. We promise we tried to find some green flags but ya'll, it was hard!

    But first, we talk about sexual empowerment and how to honor your 'no' until your body tells you it's a 'yes'. Learn from our mistakes and feel in control of what feels good to you ASAP ;)
