Episode 26 - Bad Kissers, Gaslighting, and Hair Removal Horrors


Listen Later

Is kissing like riding a bike? Or, can you forget how to do it if it's been awhile or if you're super nervous? This is up for debate on this week's episode, along with some 60 Second Sips questions about milk preferences and whether talking during movies is acceptable. 

A big topic we cover is gaslighting -- the act of manipulating a partner in such a way that they end up questioning their own reality. Inspired by a binge of the first season of the podcast "Something Was Wrong," we talk about the different tactics gaslighters use to manipulate their partners and discuss our own personal experiences with these narcissistic individuals. Gaslighters will say things like "you'd be such a great partner if it wasn't for..." and "that never happened, you're being paranoid," and much more. And while it is likely challenging to spot any red flags in the beginning of a relationship with a gaslighter, we hope this conversation brings some attention to this common issue. 

But don't worry, the whole episode isn't so serious! We also have an extensive conversation about various hair removal strategies that honestly borders on TMI. You've been warned! From the hot hot heat of laser hair removal to the torturous epilator to the mess and stink of Nair cream, we cover it all and have some good laughs along the way.
