  • 041 The Threesome From Hell - UNCUT

    Welcome back to Real Talk Sundays, where hosts Amanda and Val can barely keep it together as they talk about threesomes and a show so bizarre, it leaves them questioning humanity's choices. Listen in on the journey they take through the spectacle that is the British show "Naked Attraction." From the jaw-dropping reveal of anatomical features to the bewildering logic of selecting a date based on body parts, they leave no skin unpulled in their quest to understand the amount of uncircumsized penises that are in the world.

    Meanwhile, Amanda takes the mic to share her epic fails and cautionary tales in the realm of threesome etiquette. With more than a few misadventures under her belt, she regales listeners with the harrowing saga of all the threesomes she’s had from HELLLLLLLL.

    Artist/Song of the week: ISEEBLUE - LIVING TOO FAST

  • 040 Fit-n’ass

    Back at it again with the perfect episode to listen to for your next gym sesh. In this week’s episode, RTS corralled two fitness gurus for all the sweat, laughter, and protein bars your little ears can handle. Our dynamic duo: Alex who’s been sculpting bodies and dropping truth bombs for years, and Larissa, the powerhouse of positivity. Together, these fitness aficionados spill the protein powder on hot topics and touch on everything from the industry's juiciest controversies to tackling real questions from the interwebs.

    Though our hosts are plus-sized, they still hit the gym and motivation to not fit-n’ass entire pizza in their mouths. Listen in on how they get it done - ya abs are great, but a six-pack of laughter is even better.

  • 039 She’s Fucking Russian

    Sit down with RTS and the fabulous Anna, a globe-trotting Russian sweetheart who's collected more passport stamps than most people have Instagram followers. In this episode, Amanda & Val take a tour around Anna’s life abroad and what has brought her all the way to Idaho… of all places. With over 30 countries under her belt, 4 homes where she's perfected the art of packing and unpacking, they cover everything from food to men.

     

    It's not all about sightseeing and sampling exotic cuisines! RTS dips into Anna’s romances – from language barriers in young love to the drawback of Idahoan men. Anna's love life is as diverse as her stamp collection. 

     

    So, grab your passport and favorite international snack to join RTS for an episode where when it comes to communication, the only borders we recognize are the ones on a map – and we're ready to erase even those with laughter.

  • 038 PERIODT!

    We're catching our surf on the crimson tide this week as RTS gets candid on all things periods. It's not just a ladies' night in—men, you're invited too. Mostly because you all need to gain an understanding that goes beyond the "ick". From breaking down the menstrual cycle to wtf is up with birth control, Amanda and Val completely demystify the taboo subject that seems to be the menstrual cycle. 

    So, whether you're riding the crimson wave or just trying to catch the drift, tune in for a podcast episode that's unapologetically real and really informative. Because when it comes to authentic communication, RTS leaves no topic unturned—periodT.
