Dating is getting expensive… but are we really struggling financially, or are our dating expectations just unrealistic? 👀💸

This week on Needs To Be Studied, Billy The Bad Guy and Wolf get into the real cost of dating. From expensive first dates and financial expectations to whether you should even be dating when your money isn’t right, we’re asking the questions everybody has an opinion on.

But first, Billy has some explaining to do! After getting called out for posting toxic relationship quotes on Instagram, he’s defending his reposts. Is sharing a shady post harmless entertainment, or are subliminals a form of communication?

We’re talking dating standards, money, social media toxicity, and the messy realities of modern relationships.

🎓 Classmates, it’s time for a discussion!

Would you date someone who couldn’t afford to take you out? And is reposting toxic quotes a red flag?

Drop your thoughts in the comments!

Subscribe to Needs To Be Studied for unfiltered conversations about dating, relationships, sex, and everything in between.

Who makes worse dating decisions: gay men or straight women? Billy and Esh are about to find out.

In the pilot episode, Billy and Esh officially bring their friendship to the mic—and nothing is off limits. They break down how they met, why this unlikely duo decided to start a show together, and compare their very different relationship resumes.

Then Billy comes in HOT with a dating theory: the way somebody treats you on your birthday tells you exactly how they feel about you. Is your birthday actually a relationship report card—or are we expecting way too much?

From dating disasters and relationship red flags to sex, love, friendship, and the decisions we probably should’ve kept to ourselves, Billy and Esh are giving two VERY different perspectives on the same messy world.

Gay man. Straight woman. Two dating histories. Zero shortage of opinions.

Welcome to the pilot. 🎙️

Can your zodiac sign tell you who you’re dating—or are we giving the stars too much credit?

This week, Billy is joined by Magic Monroe for a conversation about the most toxic signs, what your birth chart says about how you love, and whether astrology helps you understand a partner or makes you judge them before you know them.

Then Magic gives Billy a live reading of his love life, and the conversation gets personal: vulnerability, past experiences, and the patterns we bring into relationships. Plus, the group debates whether the dating pool is actually trash—or whether we keep choosing the wrong people.

Classmates, would you let someone read your love life in front of everybody?

Billy is joined by guest co-host @thehoodsfreetherapist for a wild conversation with professional dominatrix @mistressmysthick—and class is officially in session!

Mistress My’sthick breaks down how she makes money through domination, selling farts in jars, poop brownies, and fulfilling some of her clients’ wildest fantasies. She also shares her mission to help create and empower 20 Black Dommes, how she found her submissive, and what it really takes to succeed in the world of fetish work.

Then her sub joins the conversation and holds nothing back. He opens up about what it’s like being treated as furniture, used as human carpet, getting pegged, and why submission gives him exactly what he needs.

Would you let someone walk all over you—literally? And how much would somebody have to pay you to sell your farts?

This week, Billy is joined by Mal, and class gets REAL messy.

We’re breaking down what actually makes someone high or low maintenance in dating and relationships—and whether wanting more automatically means you’re asking for too much.

But then Mal comes through with a HOT take: if you’re promiscuous or you’ve had a serious hoe phase, you can’t be trusted. 👀

So naturally, we had questions! Does your sexual past say anything about your ability to be loyal? Can a former hoe become relationship material? And why do we connect the number of people someone has slept with to their character?

From high-maintenance expectations to hoe phases, trust, loyalty, and sexual history, class is officially in session—and Mal might be getting sent straight to the Principal’s Office for this one. 😂

🎧 Press play and decide for yourself: Can you trust a hoe?
