How To Date When You're A Solid 8

Gianna and Maddie sit down over zoom and hop right in. Gianna has just taken a ginormous step in her relationship and moved in with her long-term long-distance boyfriend (well isn't that a mouthful) and his dog. Big things are happening for Gianna and she tells the listeners how it is (spoiler alert: pretty good). She shares what it was like to move in with her boyfriend while simultaneously moving to a new city. The girls then chat about Maddie's most recent date, which she went on solely because her followers told her to (thanks followers). Gianna and Maddie wrap up the episode by chatting about some listener-submitted topics. They touch on drunk calling exes, birthday gifts for the people you are "seeing," introducing someone to the fam, and, lastly –– the responsibility of telling someone about your ex hookups.

Vic comes back! Victoria is back for her second episode of HTDWYAS8 (ya, it's a thing) –– and was able to pick things up right where she left off. Vic and Maddie catch up after about a month of not seeing each other. After that, they hop right into this week's main topic: awkward situations. They analyze what it means to use someone's name in conversation –- and why we sometimes don't –– and then they discover how this could actually be a great dating tool (pro tip!). After discussing some awkward listener situations, the girls get right into answering this week's listener questions... and there were a lot (we love that). Vic and Maddie discuss everything from the meaning of exclusivity to meeting new people, hooking up with old flings, different types of love, and relationships post-grad. The girls also answer a listener question on gaining your confidence back after being ghosted –– one of them spoke from personal experience. The episode wraps up with Vic giving her final piece of advice as Maddie enters vaccinated girl spring and then hot girl summer.

She's back, baby. Michaela Keating is back for her second episode of HTDWYAS8 (can that be a thing?) –– and she is ready to chat. Michaela and Maddie start by catching up on all things love and life. Afterward, they hop right into listener questions (major shout out to the listeners for submitting). The girls get into it, starting with dealing with the repercussions of your own drunk texts. They then struggle with the hardest "F, Marry, Kill" of all time. Michaela and Maddie also chat about everything from telling someone you have talents and passions, "cutting the cheese" on a date (or in a hot yoga class), relationship mistakes, and so much more. They wrap up with Michaela asking some questions of her own and looking to a brighter future.

Gill and Maddie get right to chatting on this week's episode. Maddie almost instantly starts confessing about her most recent drunk facetime escapades. The girls then get into being single in Philly during covid and what it's like to be on the apps these days. Speaking of being on the apps... enter: bad dates. Gill shares some of her stories with app dates, and let's just say Hinge probably wouldn't use it as a testimonial. The episode ends with the girls answering some listener questions – catch their thoughts on everything from "love at first sight," to how to end things, covid date ideas, knowing when to leave a boy's house, and so much more.

After facing some technical difficulties, Megan and Maddie sit down over zoom and discuss their (very different) Valentine's Day celebrations. Then the girls hop right into Megan's engagement story –– yes, she's engaged! The story is adorable. They move on and Maddie gives the world her hot take on siblings and what birth order will do to someone as a person. Megan shares with Maddie how she deals with anxiety and was able to share that with her partner. The girls wrap up their chat by scraping the surface and starting to unpack some of Maddie's weird college boy experiences. How fun.

Monique and Maddie sit down over zoom and get straight to chatting. Maddie dives in by asking her mom what it's like being a parent to both girls and a guy, especially when it comes to the way they date. They also discuss watching your kids go through the woes of dating and relationships –– and whether or not, as a parent, you should step in. The gals then get into what Monique has learned throughout her marriage and how it can apply to dating today (and how different dating is today!). The two then wrap up and Monique sings Maddie's praises (Maddie left this in –– who doesn't need the occasional confidence boost, ok?) and gives her best dating advice. It was cute.

Julia and Maddie sit down over zoom and get to know each other – no, seriously, they've legit never met before. The girls chat about how Julia became the CEO of Dating Without Dating Apps and the value she found in focusing on herself. Then they get into how easy it is to take "hits" in dating as a reflection of yourself (even when it really isn't). Maddie gives the audience updates on her dating life and Julia drops some pretty harsh advice (Maddie needed it though). And lastly, the girls run through some listener questions – everything from pregaming the first date to red flags and green flags, guys with sports cars, and having the tougher conversations.

Emilie also drops some serious facts on being yourself both inside and outside of a relationship (she's a genius, guys). Maddie and Emilie tell some stories that define their friendship and proceed to move into some listener questions. They touch on everything from texting the ghoster (and how many times) to the power of self-tanner, Maddie's battle with adult acne, and different levels of ~experiece~.

The pod is back! And this time –– it's 2021. So, Kristeen and Maddie sit down over zoom and discuss Kristeen's somewhat fresh breakup and hitting the apps for the first time in over 3 years (woah). The girls also talk about knowing when to put yourself back out there and what you may find when you do. Finally, they answer some listener questions and give their opinions on everything from cheaters to soulmates and what to do when you're not really feelin' yourself. Also, Maddie says "that ain't it" one too many times and comes up with a new photo challenge (totally unrelated)! Fun!

Alex, an old friend of the pod, makes her return for a special holiday season episode. Alex and Maddie sit down over zoom and catch up on the Philly lockdown and what it's like working from home (when your boyfriend is doing the same exact thing). The girls transition into the holiday season and talk "hot-takes" and reverting back to childlike behavior when visiting home. Next, they dive a little deep and talk about the importance of the way people make you feel... Maddie needs a moment to process. Maddie then proceeds to explain why she is #CoolWithTheQueso –– merch? I think so. 

To wrap up, Alex and Maddie give a year-in-review and discuss what they are looking forward to in 2021. Please enjoy the episode and subscribe, rate, and review.
