Zwei Jahre später. Back where it all started: Birdie & Bella. Heartbroken Heartbreaker Club. 📍 Im Südwesten Sri Lankas.

In dieser Folge nehmen Birdie & Bella euch mit an die Südküste – dahin, wo man Surfen lernt, (im besten Fall) barfuß lebt, um 6 Uhr im Wasser ist und abends entweder im Ozean oder im Club landet. Manchmal beides.

Wir sprechen über:

• Anreise & Vorbereitung – Visum, SIM, Cash, Roller, Versicherungen, Notfälle. Plus: unsere ungeschönte Packliste mit all den praktischen Essentials. 

• Surfen lernen – warum Weligama perfekt für Anfänger:innen ist und wir Ahangama den Intermediates über lassen.

• Rhythmus finden – Sri Lanka läuft anders: early mornings, salty skin, viel Sonne. 

• Alkohol & Feiern – Arrack, Lion Beer. Mehr Sunset-Talks, weniger Eskalation. Zumindest dieses Jahr. Wir sind selbst überrascht. 

Übrigens: Die Mehrzahl von Pfau = Pfauen. Nicht Peacöcker.

Ever wondered what really goes down (pun intended) on a porn set? 👀

We met Taylor — a U.S. producer working behind the camera — and couldn’t resist putting him in front of a mic. He gave us the uncensored download on what life in the adult industry is actually like.

We asked him everything you’ve always wanted to know:

• how he ended up in the industry (spoiler: not through LinkedIn)
• what a “normal” day on a porn set looks like (if that even exists)
• if people actually get turned on while filming
• how performers protect themselves (yes, that kind of protection too)
• and the surprisingly strict legal side — including the infamous paperwork every performer has to sign 📝

Prepare for a cheeky, behind-the-scenes peek at a world most only see… on screen.

Live from our post-Carnival haze — sun-kissed, slightly disoriented, and still picking glitter out of places glitter should never be — we’re back with our very first video episode.

We just survived Carnival in Rio, and we have thoughts. Lots of them. About romance, regret, reinvention — and why Posto 9 might actually be heaven.

Here’s what we’re diving into:
• How many people did we kiss? Let’s just say… more than one, less than a scandal 💋
• The best Carnival parties
• The art of staying safe in Rio when everything is chaos
• Life on a boat — minimalist, wet, surprisingly profound
• Why everyone in Rio looks like they’re prepping for a Vogue cover
• Emotional hangovers and how to handle them
• Rewriting our relationship standards
• Birdie’s birthday
• What’s next — because you know we’re not done

This one’s messy, honest, and unexpectedly grounding. Just like Carnival.

Join the club & follow along:

Live from Ipanema Beach, two and a half weeks into our Brazil adventure, we’re sweaty, slightly sunburned, and full of stories. From record-breaking heat (63 degrees of pure, unforgiving "sensation") to navigating Brazil’s kissy kissy culture, this episode is a pre-carnival fever dream.

We’re covering it all:

• The hottest thing in Rio right now? The temperature. It’s insane. ❤️‍🔥
• The other hottest thing? Brazilian bodies. Why is everyone so shredded? Are we missing a national fitness memo?
• Going out in Brazil – the parties, the chaos, the questionable decisions
• Birdie’s strategy for kissing in Brazil (a masterclass in romantic efficiency)
• Surfing in Brazil – why it was incredible & the surf school you need to check out 🏄🏽‍♀️
• Bella’s hospital visit (again… what is it with her and foreign hospitals?) 🏥
• Our expectations for Carnival in Rio – will we survive it?
• And, the big question: How many people did you kiss in one day? 💋

Oh, and if you’re looking for a surf school that won’t make you cry salty tears into your caipirinha, check out Meninas do Mar in Itacaré. (tell Jane that you come from Birdie & Bella!)

Tune in now – it's sweaty, flirty, and slightly unhinged. Just like a proper Brazilian night out.

Sooo, Birdie & Bella are back together – in friggin’ Brazil! 🇧🇷 While sipping on their caipirinhas straight out of a cacao bean, they’re sharing a little life update and diving into the beauty of soul connections. Whether it’s their own or those with potential love interests (even if it’s not going anywhere because the other soul is a decent human in a stable relationship), it’s all part of the adventure.

Well, anyway… soooo…

This episode starts and ends with uncontrollable laughter—recorded on Birdie’s balcony after some beer bottles, we’re bringing the good vibes and even better stories. Our guest, Armin (aka Yeti), works on a cruise ship that travels to some of the most remote places on Earth: Antarctica and the North Pole. With Nicholas stepping in as co-moderator, this one’s a mix of travel tales, fascinating insights, and a dash of Italian flair.

We dive into Armin’s life at sea, starting from the southernmost city in the world, Ushuaia. From witnessing the firsthand effects of climate change to discovering his favorite route, Armin’s stories are as mind-blowing as the icy landscapes he navigates. Nicholas keeps things fun, peppering the conversation with his quintessential Italian questions—because who doesn’t want to know about shipboard fashion and discounts?

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to work on a ship at the edge of the world, or if you just need a good laugh, this episode is for you.

What You’ll Hear:

•⁠ ⁠The hilarity of starting this episode a little tipsy

•⁠ ⁠Armin’s life working on a cruise ship that goes to Antarctica and the North Pole

•⁠ ⁠Why Ushuaia is the perfect launchpad for polar adventures

•⁠ ⁠Seeing climate change in action: what the scientists and glaciers reveal

•⁠ ⁠Armin’s favorite route and the breathtaking views he can’t get enough of

•⁠ ⁠What a typical work schedule looks like on a polar cruise ship

•⁠ ⁠Nicholas’ “guest moderator” moment, complete with questions about clothing brands and discounts

•⁠ ⁠A unique mix of wanderlust, laughter, and a few cans of delicious Mexican beer

Grab your warmest blanket (or maybe a glass of wine) and join us for this cozy yet awe-inspiring journey to the ends of the Earth!

Love yours,

the Heartbroken Heartbreaker Club

It’s the final chapter of our series with Lea & Chris, and this one’s packed with heart, laughs, and a touch of romance! Recorded back in August 2024, we’re diving into the ins and outs of life at a surf camp—from the dream of opening a cozy coffee shop to the highs and lows of working and traveling as a couple.

But that’s not all! This episode takes a juicy turn when “It’s just… a little crush…” becomes more than just a song lyric. Should you follow your feelings when it comes to a crush? How do relationships thrive when one partner wants to shine next to the other, not in their shadow?

And, of course, we’re catching up on where Bella and Birdie stand with their love lives—and let’s just say, things have been interesting. Oh, and Lea? She’s fully embracing her granola-girl era, and we’re here for it.
