Peasant Party Podcast

New dating terms just dropped — and we’re tired already. Charlotte and Annabelle break down the latest relationship buzzwords taking over the internet, separating what’s actually useful from what’s just a shiny rebrand of old behavior.

We get into:

• Quantum Dating: freeing or emotionally avoidant?
• Floodlighting vs. real vulnerability
• Throning (dating for status) and why it never works
• Delusionships and how to tell if you’re in one
• Is it ever okay to Venmo request after a date?
• And… did a guy really get the ick because she took leftovers??

Chaotic, validating, and deeply unserious in the best way.

What does modern dating look like to someone who got married before ghosting was a thing? Charlotte and Annabelle bring on their dad, David Warren, for a surprisingly thoughtful (and occasionally hilarious) generational crossover episode.

We cover:

• A boomer’s take on dating in 2025
• Ghosting, love bombing, future faking & gaslighting — defined
• What actually makes a relationship healthy vs. toxic
• How to handle parents who don’t like your partner
• Class bias in dating and family approval
• And how to step in when a widowed parent is being romance-scammed

Wholesome, heavy, and unexpectedly healing — this one hits.

Did Dani Coco actually do anything wrong — or was that just a fragile ego having a moment? Charlotte and Annabelle unpack a viral TikTok debate about honesty vs. transparency after a man spiraled upon learning his date had previously been to the restaurant… on a date.

We also dive into:

• Whether a weird sex dream about a friend means anything at all
• The resurging claim that “women can’t have it all”
• Where the anti-career, anti-feminism rhetoric is coming from
• And what it really means when a guy who rejected you resurfaces on Hinge a year later

Smart, validating, and perfect for anyone tired of being told they need to “pick one.”

Is planning a breakup with AI… unhinged or just efficient? Charlotte and Annabelle dig into two dating headlines that are making the rounds — from the rise of “Banksying” (strategic, premeditated breakups) to new research claiming couples who meet on dating apps are basically doomed 😬

We also tackle a wild mailbag situation involving:

• A long-term situationship
• A casually floated threesome
• And a man who immediately started DM’ing her friends (yikes)

In this episode:

• Are “Banksy breakups” emotionally cowardly or self-protective?
• Do app-based relationships actually suffer more than offline ones?
• When sexual openness backfires
• Whether a situationship can recover once the threesome door is opened
• How to explore non-monogamy without blowing up your social circle

Messy, nuanced, and very Peasant Party-coded.

Why did nobody raise their hand for Rylie? 👀

Charlotte is joined by fiancé Buddy Pearson to unpack a viral dating clip from “Provo’s Most Eligible” that sparked a full-on gender war online. We break down the awkward silence, the backlash, and the bizarre leap from “I like to travel” to “she’s a walking red flag.”

Along the way, we get into:

• Why men really weren’t interested in Rylie (and why the internet lost its mind)
• The myth that women who like travel are “non-committal” or “expensive”
• How certain dating preferences get unfairly moralized
• Getting out of the romance zone when you just want platonic connection
• How much men are actually judged for their living situation (studio apartment anxiety included)

Thoughtful, spicy, and very online — this one’s a must-listen.

Charlotte & Annabelle are BACK in studio to answer your burning questions. This episode, we dive write in, answering questions like:

• I was seemingly ditched on a date... what went wrong here?
• Are "Close Friends" IG stories "for hookups"?
• His female friend (who I've met) posted an IG story advertising him as "single"... Why?
• Guy I'm seeing wants to take "best girl friend" to wedding instead of me... Is this a sign he doesn't view us as serious?

This is a fun one, so be sure to tune in!

We're back in studio, this time joined again by my wonderful fiance & capital-R roommate, ‪@notyorbuddy2‬ ! This episode, we tackle some fun topics -- Does someone's "number" really matter? Is it less about numbers, and more about proximity? Should you tell a new romantic interest if you've possibly hooked up with their friend?

This is a fun one, so be sure to tune in!

We're back with a repeat guest & fan favorite -- ATX based fitness instructor, comedian, podcast host & (now) actor, Justine Benzinger @just.fit.justine!

This episode, we tackle topics & questions like:

• New dating term: "Shrekking"
• Sliding into the DMs of a low-level celebrity
• Would it be weird to meet a hinge date (32F) at a concert I’m (30M) going to with a female friend?
• Why do people leave their jobs out of their dating profiles?

Charlotte & Annabelle are BACK! After a few quick pop culture discussions (Sydney Sweeney, Bruce Willis, & More), before jumping into a discussion on the chaos that is the Tea App & its data breach. Was this app a massive fail, or a well-intentioned miss? We then dive into some questions:

- How "comfortable" should dating be?

- Is it wrong to withold giving out your number until after date #1?

- Can you have a FaceTime date that ISN'T awkward?

This is a fun one, so be sure to tune in!

After a pod hiatus, Charlotte & Buddy are BACK, here to answer your burning questions, including:

- Is asking "Are you single?" a good icebreaker question

- Should I continue dating someone if I think they're great, but don't feel the "buzz"?

- They wore the same outfit two dates in a row... normal, or not?

This is a fun one, so be sure to tune in!
