I was so excited to talk with Amanda Hirsch, that I almost forgot to introduce her as this week’s guest!  After the usual formalities, we jumped right into talking about some of the latest trending stories, viral TikTok videos, going to The Hamptons, and hit the trifecta of being “raw, real, and authentic”. 

Your husband moves his mother into the house. At first you’re all for it, because it’s only temporary.  However, three years later she’s still there….and she completely took over your living room!  What do you do? 

I’ve done pods on friendship before, but this is my first about “medium friends”.  I came across this topic in the New York Times article “The Vexing Problem of the Medium Friend” and found it quite interesting.   Medium friends are people who are more than acquaintances but not your closest friends…which can create a whole host of problems.

I finally get to welcome my best friend Adam Riker “Wig” to Office Hours.  If you’ve heard us past episodes, you know we’ll eventually talk about sex…and that streak continues.  We also share a few (inside) jokes, air a few grievances, and discuss my favorite stories to hit the internet this week.     

I could NEVER snoop through a boyfriend’s phone…but some of you are so wild!  Case and point?  One of our girls who is preparing to move in with her boyfriend.  While he was asleep, she went through his phone in search of red flags.   She even deleted a text thread from a past fling!  He noticed it was gone…but doesn’t know why…do you think she should come clean? 

I’m grateful for every single moment I’ve spent in the Hamptons!  From partying with some of my closest friends, making new ones along the way, Lucas and I opening up for Diplo…and that one night where I flashed the entire club…which actually ties into the second part of today’s pod.  Nudes!  (and the ins and outs of confidently taking, sending, and responding to them)

Today the very funny Chris Klemens steps into the office to talk about some of the latest stories to hit the internet.  We also talked about “bedroom divorces”…and sex.   Sex on vacation.  Sex with yourself.  Sex with a group of people…because why not? 

Sometimes you already know the answer, but just need to hear it from a friend.  That’s where I come in.  We had a lot of good calls on today’s AMA.  Like one from a girl who’s been stuck in a situationship for the past year.  This guy would send her heartfelt messages…like wanting her to be the mother of his kids.  But then he would immediately go silent.  Oh, and he also has a girlfriend.  Can you guess what I told her?  

We’ve talked a lot about relationships getting boring.  How things can dry up both sexually and mentally.  And you know what he quickest way to fix that is? Become more interesting…(before you eye roll)..this is not one of those guides on “how to ‘blow’ his mind”.  This advice is for us to invest in ourselves, because that is one of the most attractive things we can do. 

We’ve enjoyed great conversations and lots of laughs on Office Hours…especially when Claudia Oshry stopped by a few months ago!  Today, we get to revisit that episode. Delicious drinks and catching up with an amazing friend….what more can a girlie ask for?  I’m thrilled I finally had the chance to try Claudia’s line of Spritz cocktails!  We cracked open a few cans, sat down at my kitchen table, and let the conversation flow.
