WHAT'S UP I'LL SAY IT SQUAD and welcome back to our 1st episode of 2021! It's February aka January 2.0 so time to get back on track with those New Years resolutions... specifically, Rach & Liv want you to delete your Instagram app for a week because we are prioritizing our MENTAL HEALTH IN 2021. Don't worry, no one will miss your Insta stories! Today's guest is Addison Huss, a longtime friend and listener of the show. We talk the hardships of online dating when you'd rather be a social butterfly at the bar (what's a bar?) and how to be proactive in your dating life while also having fun and not taking it so damn seriously. This episode is dedicated to...fishing pic guys? It really is a new year, new us. Rate, review, subscribe!

Deana spent the summer going on several socially-distanced dates in the park or on the lake (even two in one day!) and is ready to share her experience on the pod. We talk Hinge, initiating the "exclusive" talk, relationships during holiday COVID edition, and creative matchmakers in Chicago (you HAVE to do this on your campus or in your city). Plus, Deana tells a cautionary tale of a stand-up comedian whose idea of a great first date is inviting a girl to his set, only to tell jokes about his ex. YIKES! To wrap up, Deana shares her hot take- RISK THE FRIENDSHIP. Listen to hear her rationale. Rate, review, subscribe!
