This week we are talking about pedestals. Not the Greek kind. The emotional kind.

The “I met you three times and decided you are flawless and spiritually elevated” kind. The kind we build out of vibes, fantasy, loneliness and pure delulu energy.

I get into some of what has been happening in my own world with pedestaling inside friendships and what it does to you when people turn you into a symbol instead of a person. We talk about why pedestals are not love, they are projection, and why I would rather be known than worshipped.

And then we let the comedy special begin.

You sent me your best fall from grace stories. The exact moment the pedestal cracked and the ick moved into your body like a permanent resident. We cover baby talk at the dinner table, dusty moon water, empath frauds, angel number boys, giddy up taxi commands, sideways string cheese, and so much more chaos.

It is unhinged in the best way and honestly a tiny bit healing too.

This week, Dino is in his comeback season—tech troubles, retrogrades, and all. From broken mics to old friendships revisited, he opens up about what it really means to return to yourself. Then, listener emails pour in with stories of resilience: the dancer rediscovering her rhythm, the mom reclaiming her body, the breakup glow-up, the friend group exit, and the apartment key that symbolized choosing peace over passion. It’s an episode about growth, grace, and the quiet power of coming back—on your own terms.

Today we unpack your walk of shame and walk of no shame stories and start with something real. I talk about friendships shifting in adulthood, how love can be true and still feel out of sync, and the choice to stay kind while you figure it out. Then we dive into your emails: Barbie in Tribeca and the elevator ride from hell, a barefoot croissant on Marathon Sunday, the Thanksgiving kitchen in Pennsylvania, the woman who left her husband at 4 a.m. and found a new morning on Lafayette, the wrong apartment with a barking golden retriever, the jogger named Tyler, a bagel meet cute, the bridesmaid with a mimosa, the Vegas carpet, and a neighbor who turned embarrassment into grace with one sentence. Chaos and grace, laughter and relief. No shame, just a new day.

Babe, let’s be honest — we’ve all had a delulu era.
The one where they were “just busy.”
Where one date became a whole fantasy.
Where you swore the universe was sending signs… and maybe it was.

In this episode of I Hear You, Babe, Dino reads six listener letters that prove we’re all a little delusional — and that’s okay. From a SaltDrop class crush to the “guy who hated cats,” these stories are funny, raw, and painfully relatable. Dino shares his own thoughts on hope, projection, and why believing in something (or someone) that never quite existed might actually be what keeps us human.

If you’ve ever built a love story in your head, confused chemistry for connection, or laughed through a spiral on your couch with Dude and Rocco nearby — this one’s for you.

Listen, laugh, cry, and maybe forgive your delulu self just a little.

Some friends give advice like it’s gospel. Others just pour the wine and let you spiral.

This week, we’re talking about that voice — the bestie who’s always sure she knows what’s best for you, the group chat that turns into a courtroom, the quiet friend who just says one sentence that changes everything.

From tequila-fueled bad ideas that somehow worked to the kind of hard truths that broke friendships and built new ones, these stories remind us that the loudest voice in the room isn’t always the right one — and that sometimes, the only advice worth taking is the one your own body whispers back.

This week, we’re talking about hauntings of the heart — the people who disappeared mid-text, mid-date, mid-sentence — and left you wondering if you hallucinated the whole thing.

From the one who vanished after introducing you to their mom, to the ex who reappeared like a cursed Instagram ad, we’re diving into the ghosting stories that still linger.

Also: I spiral about Secret Keepers Club, bowling bets, and why posting a Notes-app apology about lice might be the most honest act of our time.

Grab your sage, text your therapist, and let’s summon some ghosts.
Boo, babe. 👻

New York (and every busy city) runs on tiny rules we never wrote down. Today we read your funniest, most unhinged, and surprisingly tender stories about the small crimes of city life: people who plant themselves in subway doorways, stop at the top of the stairs like it’s a TED Talk, and groups who walk ten-across so no one can pass. Plus: coffee-line philosophers, airport line cutters, Bluetooth oversharers, gym speaker guys, and the little kindness that nearly made a listener cry. It’s chaotic, human, and very I Hear You, Babe.

Some days slip by unnoticed. And then there are the other ones—the days that split your life into before and after.

In this episode, we dive into your stories about the moments that turned everything upside down: the train you almost missed, the voicemail you almost deleted, the blackout that lit up the sky, the text that autocorrected its way into saving a life.

From heartbreak to hilarity to the kind of tenderness that makes you hold your breath, these stories prove that sometimes, everything really can change in a single day.

This week, Dino dives into the radical act of choosing yourself — and the strange, funny, scandalous ways small joys show up. From lighting the good candle to hiding snacks in the car, from skipping Christmas to sneaking away for silence — these stories remind us that joy doesn’t have to be big to be life-changing.

Plus: Dino’s honest update on his RogersHood Apothecary parasite cleanse (spoiler: it’s gross, it’s humbling, and it’s somehow the perfect metaphor for clearing out what doesn’t serve you).

🎧 Tune in, laugh, maybe gag a little, and remember: choosing yourself can start small.

What do you do when the universe decides it’s exam day and you didn’t study?

In this episode of I Hear You, Babe, Dino dives into the messy, funny, heartbreaking ways life tests us — from big losses to small cosmic pop quizzes. With stories from listeners who’ve been fired and dumped in the same week, run into exes in the frozen food aisle, faced scary health challenges, and survived Mercury retrograde, we ask: are these tests punishment, or are they invitations to float, to bend, to become?

It’s an hour of real talk, laughter, and a reminder that you don’t need to ace the universe’s test to pass. Sometimes just breathing counts.
