  • "Menage-A-Pod Mailbag" with Comedian Lael O'Shaughnessy

    On today's show we have Lael O'Shaughnessy (IG@laeloshag, Chicago based comedian and writer, regular at the Laugh Factory, and producer of High Dive Comedy at the High Dive Bar) to help answer questions from our audience about dating rules. Are there any? If so, what are they? What works best and what doesn't? Can a woman ask a man on a date? Is the 3 date rule still a thing? Is it ok to send nudes before a first date? Why do people keep asking us these questions like we actually know what we are talking about? Weird. We do our best to answer the audience's questions to the best of our ability...which isn't that great, but like, whatevs. Grab a drink for this one. You'll need it.

  • "Menage-a-Quint" All Star Episode
    Today's episode is a shit show of goodness! We are having a, "where are they now" special with past guests, Daniel, Jennie, and newcomer, John. We eat brunch (Gena cooked and didn't kill anyone, so that feels like a win!), talk about when it's ok to DTR, and we go over what not to say to your single friends. Go ahead and make your own mimosa and join in on the conversation!

  • "A Little Bit of This, A Little Bit of That (Dragons And Sh*t)" with Comedian Jenna Ray
    On today's show we talk with the other awesome Jenna, comedian Jenna Ray (@_jennaray, cohost of Two Girls One Show on @GoHardComedy on IG). She talks about her insane dating experiences, threesomes, and getting into comedy, all while giving TJ a little bit of shit along the way, which made Gena proud to share a name with her. Also, either TJ is getting better, or Gena is becoming immune to his shit, because there wasn't one garbage bell ding on today's episode! You be the judge and report back with a verdict on that one.

  • "You Better Not Order The Calamari...unless...." with Comedian Zako Ryan
    On today's episode, we are talking with comedian Zako Ryan (@zakoryan, Laugh Factory Regular, Producer of Burnt, and co-host of the Unemployables podcast) about your burning questions that arise after a first date. Well, that was the intention at least, but what would a Menage-a-Pod episode be without a few tangents?! We also talk about what constitutes bad sex (jury's still out), five-play rules, and answer the age old questions of whether size really does matters. Spoiler alert! It so does. Anyone who tells you differently is just trying to make you feel better... www.zakoryan.com for information on Zako's shows and projects Join our facebook group at https://www.facebook.com/groups/333406473962378/?ref=bookmarks

  • "The PRSUIT of Happiness" with Case Kenny
    I know what you're thinking. Menage-a-Pod is doing an episode that is full of rainbows and kittens? That's so not on brand! BUT WAIT! Don't go anywhere, because this episode is a really good one and is a refreshing change from the norm. This week, we talked to self proclaimed "dudebroguy with perspective" Case Kenny (@case.kenny). Case is a writer, influencer, entrepreneur and founder of PRSUIT (@PRSUIT), a daily email full of perspective that inspires and is dedicated to helping you become the badass human you're meant to be. He's also the host of the podcast, "New Mindset, Who 'Dis." And if that's not enough for you to check him out, then go stalk his IG page and check out this man's muscles. You can thank us later. We talk about vulnerability, being happy with who you are, why it's important to embrace your ho phase, and not being afraid to shoot your shot to get what you want. And don't worry, we will be back to our regularly scheduled snark next week.

  • "Exes and Oh...No Don't You Do It" with Comedian Paul Farahvar
    In today's episode we are talking with Chicago comedian Paul Farahvar (IG@paulfarahvar, Laugh Factory Regular, and host of "Drink Date Laugh!" and "Everyone's A Lawyer" - both at the Laugh Factory and The "Singles Only" Podcast, in addition to being a musician and an attorney). We dive into if it is possible to be friends with an ex? The answer is no. Sorry. This episode is only 3 mins long. Kidding! We then explore things like dolphin sex, being friends with exes on social media (or not), and one of the best bad date stories we have had.

  • "FWB: To Be, or Not To Be. That is The Question" with Comedian Vik Pandya
    Today's episode is one of our favorites yet! Not only do we have the amazingly talented and very funny stand up comedian, Vik Pandya (Instagram @VPComedy) on the show, but we are stealing headlines straight from Gena's shitty real life experiences on today's episode. We are exploring the concept of friends with benefits, how that differs from your normal fuck buddy, and the 11 rules to being in a a FWB situation as sane as possible...without catching the feelings. That's a rookie move, kids. A rookie move (*Gena hangs her head in shame*).

  • "Thank You, Next " with Overheard in Chicago
    Hi friends! This week, we're joined by the beautiful and hysterical duo from Overheard in Chicago (IG: @overheard_in_chicago) as we discuss red flags and dealbreakers. Does he live in a carpeted studio apartment? Red Flag. Does he cut his tacos with a knife and fork? Red flag! Is he having you over to his girlfriend's house when she's out of town? Dealbreaker x 10. Also, how many yellow flags make up a red flag? Is there anything that can make up for a red flag (Big Dick Energy? Money?). We explore all of this and more, so grab your drink and settle in for a doozy. If you have a topic you want us to explore, or have any questions you want to ask – you can write to us at: [email protected] or TEXT us at (872) - 221 - 2083.

About Menage-A-Pod

From the publisher's feed

What do unqualified advice givers do? Start a podcast. What do single people do? Give relationship advice. That's how this podcast was born. Menage-a-Pod is a hilarious new podcast about dating, sex, relationships and everything in between, hosted by Gena (IG@genagrish, former HuffPo Dating Columnist) and TJ (IG@chicagocaferacer, former serial dater & wannabe comedian). In it, we tackle topics like ass pics, divorce, breadcrumbing being the Pumpkin Spice Latte of dating and what it's like to date as a single parent all within the first few episodes. Let's be honest, dating sucks. We are here to let you know that you're not alone out there and help you laugh along the way (and through the tears). Hang in there. We've got you, boo.
