This week on Needs To Be Studied, Billy is prepping for a big date night (we’re talking cologne, candles, and clean sheets energy) — but before the romance begins, he’s joined by guest judge Samantha to unpack the messiness of micro-cheating and the real work it takes to keep a relationship hot, healthy, and hydrated.

From liking your work wife’s selfies to planning surprise sex dates with your actual partner — we’re talking about the subtle red flags and green lights in long-term love. And yes, Billy might need detention for some of his past behavior. 👀

Tap in for laughs, lightbulbs, and love lessons — and stay till the end for Samantha’s HOT TAKE on what relationships really need in 2025.

Why are so many men checking out of modern dating? In this episode, I sit down with a single male guest to unpack the unexpected, unspoken, and sometimes hilarious things that make men lose interest fast. From “over-texting” to performative femininity, we’re breaking down the real reasons he unmatched, never called back, or suddenly got “busy.” This isn’t about bashing—it’s about understanding the male perspective in a dating world that feels more like a job interview than a connection.

Ladies, this one’s for you: If you’ve ever wondered “What did I do wrong?”—this episode might have the answer.

This week on Needs To Be Studied, we’re saying BYE to rushed relationships and fake moans. Joined by the unfiltered and hilarious @shanta_shanta_ and @shaynasmiles, we get into the slow dating era, where women are prioritizing emotional connection, peace, and pleasure over performance.

We talk about:

💋 Why the streets are exhausting

🧠 How healing is changing what (and who) we desire

🔥 The “sexual renaissance” happening in your late 20s and 30s

😩 The real reasons women fake orgasms — and how to stop

🕯️ What slow dating actually looks like in real life

Chris and Kasha are back—and the group chat is officially open. In part two, we get into the messy, hilarious, and too real ways couples miscommunicate. From shady tone to passive-aggressive texts, we’re talking about why it’s not what you say… it’s how you say it.

Can your delivery ruin the message? Can you be too honest? And what’s the difference between being real and being rude? Let’s talk about it—respectfully (kinda).

What does good sex really feel like — emotionally, mentally, and physically? In this episode, we break down the difference between sex that’s just “okay” and the kind that leaves you glowing, grounded, and genuinely satisfied. From physical chemistry to emotional connection, we explore the ingredients of pleasure that go beyond just orgasms.

Whether you’re unsure if you’ve ever had good sex, or you’re learning to define it on your own terms, this conversation is for you. We’re sharing real experiences, hard truths, and personal insights to help you understand what you should be feeling in the bedroom—and why so many of us settle for less.

🔊 Tune in if you’ve ever asked:

• Is this really what sex is supposed to feel like?

• Why do I feel emotionally disconnected after?

• How do I know if it’s good sex or just good performance?

This is your sign to stop faking satisfaction and start studying what pleasure truly means.

This week on Needs To Be Studied, we’re turning the mirror on ourselves and asking the uncomfortable question: Would you date you?

Billy unpacks what it means to be truly self-aware in relationships — the good, the bad, and the emotionally unavailable. We talk past relationship patterns, red flags we ignored (and waved ourselves), and what we’re doing differently in our next chapter of love.

PLUS: Billy spills the tea on his latest date night 👀 — how it went, what he learned, and whether there’s a second date in the cards. Spoiler: It was giving grown, intentional, and just a lil sexy.

Whether you're healing, hoeing, or somewhere in between, this episode will have you questioning your love habits and maybe texting your therapist.

How many times have you said, “But I see so much potential in them…” only to end up heartbroken, drained, and wondering how you got here? In this episode of Needs To Be Studied, I’m joined by a certified relationship and dating coach to break down why we ignore the obvious, what it really means when someone shows you who they are — and why you need to start believing them the first time.

We’re getting into the real, raw truth about dating with your eyes open and leading with proactive energy, not desperation or delusion. Waiting for someone to "grow into" who you want them to be? That’s a setup for disappointment. We’re here to help you shift from chasing potential to recognizing emotional availability, consistency, and clarity from the start.

It’s time to stop hoping they’ll change and start listening to what they’re actually showing you.

🎧 Tune in if you’re tired of wasting time, love hard but smart, and want to date with intention, boundaries, and better results.
