I'm Right You're Wrong

Isa is joined by comedian Zack Signore for a full yap fest — consider this episode company in your ears. They get into the unspoken language of male friendship, whether it's actually possible (or advisable) to be friends with straight men, and the tactical art of complimenting a guy without making it weird. Plus: a bodybuilder's surprisingly profound take on trans identity, why redownloading social media feels like picking up a cigarette after a year clean, Isa's short haircut era, and a conversation about sports .. where they question…. sports betting — right or wrong?

This episode was supposed to drop for Women's History Month (March!) but a man lost the files…. So we had to rerecord. Convenient!!! 

Anywho! This week Ky Polanco, founder of Feminist (the media company with over 6 million followers across socials), joins us and we are NOT holding back. We're talking feminist rage, why it only grows louder as we get older and start clocking injustices we were trained to ignore, muting politics and whether that's self-preservation or privilege, and ditching the societal expectations that make women feel like failures for not hitting the wife-and-kids checklist. We also go a little conspiracy-theory-coded (Epstein files, generational trauma, direct links, you've been warned).

And lastly we discuss Taylor Frankie Paul and ABC pausing the new Bachelorette season over something they absolutely knew before casting her, and why a reality TV show is getting canceled while far worse sits comfortably in the Oval Office.

In what can be described more as a video (or podcast) essay, Isa dives into all the different kinds of jealousy we experience as adults and gets into details of research she has done of how to overcome CAREER and/or FRIENDSHIP jealousy.

This week, Isa is joined by the hilarious and magnetic Saidah! They dive into the Men in Finance trend — are these guys actually relationship material, or are they just really good at compartmentalizing their emotions? They break down the Male Loneliness Epidemic and make the case that men's inability to process feelings might be entirely self-inflicted — especially when women have 10x higher emotional IQ. 

They also get into limerence, archiving texts (you know why), and second-generation American identity. And yeah!! They get a lil political: should Latin American countries be rolling out the welcome mat for Trump supporters? Saidah and Isa have thoughts.

This week, Isa is joined by FRIEND OF THE POD Lily Lester! Lily and Isa make the difficult decision of talking about something extremely nuanced and controversial… whether people in power have the responsibility to come OUT of the closet before it is widely accepted? Like… is it Right or Wrong that celebrities wait until things are “acceptable” to start doing them? Shouldn’t they be the brave ones? This conversation happens on the heels of Pedro Pascal having been recently spotted with his ALLEGED boyfriend….. right after Heated Rivaly had his moment. COINCIDENCE?!

Zack is BACK. This week, Isa is joined by the people’s champion, trainer, and hot gay comedian Zack Signore, to unpack… everything. We’re surviving the winter blues, doom-scrolling the news, baking sourdough like it’s a personality trait, and attempting the impossible: dating men with honesty. (Scary.)

We spiral, we cope, we laugh through the darkness on our way to the light. If February has you questioning your life choices, this one’s for you.

This week, Isa is joined by internet icon Tefi Pessoa for a very real conversation about dating as a Latina and third culture kid. We talk about taking gringos home to Latino families, why sometimes you don’t want your partner learning Spanish, and the importance of being one Lord of the Rings movie away from home. Isa opens up about dating as a queer, third culture kid, and Tefi reassures her that EVERYTHING is going to be okay. In the second half, the debate begins — is Valentine’s Day actually romantic or completely wrong? We also get into letting go of your teenage or early-20s self and not letting her run your life. If you’ve ever felt culturally confused in love, this episode is for you.

Listen to our guest on Tefi Talks or read more from her at The Cut in her column Ask Tefi.

This week, leading up to Valentine’s Day, Isa is joined by The Book of Red Flags author and New York Times–quoted Hinge expert Jenny Gorelick! Jenny explains why red flags might be valid and why you’re entitled to have them. We get into dating habits, anxious attachment, limerence, and why so many women are questioning motherhood in a world where emotional labor still falls on them. We also spiral about men wanting legacies, judging parenthood with zero experience, and whether stay-at-home dads can really be a thing (as long as we’re okay with them being bottoms). The lovely Lily Lester joins in on the chaos, too! Everything has a lesson learned!!
