Menage-A-Pod

This week we are joined by not one, but TWO, incredible guests.  Friend of the pod and three time guest, Zako Ryan (comedian, podcaster, regular at the Laugh Factory and Zanies, producer of Sorry for Killin at the Lincoln Lodge IG@zakoryan) and Hannah Roeschlein (comedian, podcaster, 1/2 Asian hoosier, part time Chicago comedy killer, full time Indiana comedy boss, IG@handerpumprules) for one of the funniest episodes we've ever recorded.  Listen in as we discuss the friend zone.  What is it?  Can you get out of it?  Or just listen to Zako drink prosecco, Hannah eat donuts, and the four of us cracking up through it all!  Strap in!  It's a good one!

On today’s episode, we talk about the popular dating term, Fleabagging, with hysterical comedian and podcaster, Ryan Kimble. Ryan gives us a vulnerable look into his relationship (sorry, Ashley!) and shares some questionable habits of his. We also talk about how to correct these behaviors so you’re breaking the cycle. This is a fun one guys, enjoy!

This week, we're joined by comedian, podcaster (Unmentionable Podcast) and author ("Famous Anus" & the upcoming "My Therapist Sent Me Nudes"), Jordan Power.  He talks about his decision to live a life of outrageous openness and shares some of the wildest and most hysterical stories from his debauchery filled 20's.  This is a wild one, so strap in!

This week we catch you all up on the world of Gena and TJ and then dig into two scandals that have been all over social media in the last few weeks.  Listen in for Royal Family takes and we weigh in the the J Lo / ARod controversy.  It gets SPICY!!!

This week we are joined by comedian, figure model, bookworm, & self proclaimed grilled cheese connoisseur, Ariel Julie.  She stopped by to talk about her start in comedy and her time spent nude modeling, as well as her decision to start an Only Fans account.  We also talk about what it's like to balance a relationship when you have a creative hustle that potentially leverages your sexuality! TJ role plays emotional stability and Gena is rocking our new merch!

Sometimes, Gena's quarantine TikTok obsession pays off and this is one of those times. This week we're joined by the hilarious and lovely Amelia Samson.  In addition to creating hysterical and relatable TikTok content about dating and her sometimes underwhelming experiences on the apps, Amelia is an actress who co-hosts a sex positive podcast (same, girl!) called The Hoely Hour (clever!)  Listen in as we talk about healing from breakups, men doing the absolute least on Hinge and Bumble, and Amelia breaks down TJ's Bumble profile.

Gena and TJ put a bow on the shit show that was 2020 and recap the year, for better or for worse.  We talk love, loss, and...dog anatomy??? (LOL)

2020 might have been tough but at least we can still laugh about it!  Grab a drink and join us in saying goodbye to a year we're never going to forget.

...and not the good kind. If you’re like us, you would have thought COVID would be a distant memory by now as we are almost a year into it. Sadly, that’s not the case and even with the vaccine on the horizon, will we go back to life and dating as we know it in 2021? On today’s episode, Gena and TJ talk about the changes to the dating landscape, good (and warm) date spots this winter that won’t get you muuuurdered (like inviting a stranger to your house for a first date could), and some bullshit called “slow dating” that Bumble coined.

Hi friends! It’s us! Do you remember us? We know it has been a minute, but COVID has hit Chicago hard (us included!) so taping and lining up guests has been tough. Today’s episode is just us...unless you include our antibodies and then that makes the ménage.  TJ and Gena catch up on life, recent heartbreaks, life changes, and random shit. Thanks so much for the continued support! We love you guys!
