The Scaries with Matty Rossi

The Scaries is joined by Eric Goldie, social media personality and real estate agent. We get into all things Real Housewives, the Bachelorette cancellation, and the art of putting expensive purchases on your husband’s credit card. He also shares the story of getting robbed at gunpoint and enlightens us on horses on Ozempic.

First solo episode of Season 2 and we’re getting into it. I finally answer the questions I’ve been actively dodging — from my full dating history since coming out to my type, celebrity crushes, and the realities of life in NYC vs. Boston.

We also get into some unhinged moments including how I got banned from a Four Seasons and a few stories that probably didn’t need more detail… but you’re getting it anyway.

Plus we talk about the weird duality of being in your 30s — going out one night and the next day your friends are having babies — along with conversations around body count, catching print, and everything in between. Nothing is off limits. Though some of it should be.

Billy Duke is back for his FOURTH appearance — our most recurring guest, resident twink, and still somehow the second most requested to return guest.

We get updates on his love life, life as a twink in WeHo, and dive into the chaos of the NYC gay dating scene.

As expected, it spirals into red flags, questionable advice, and pure chaos.

Max Cohen (aka Murray Hill Boy) joins me for one of the most chaotic episodes of the season.

We get into what it was like growing up on Long Island in a Jewish household, including the time he and his brother absolutely destroyed the family computer (yes… exactly how you’re thinking). We talk about coming out at a young age in the most nonchalant way possible, being a full-on theater kid, and how a boring legal career shaped who he is now as a creator in NYC.

We also spiral into why people tend to date versions of their parents (whether they realize it or not), the realities of gay dating culture, and some truly unhinged modern behavior—including airdropping unsolicited pics to the homies.

We wrap with a game of Legit or Full of Sht*, where Max reacts to your submitted Scaries… and let’s just say hooking up with your HR director is, unfortunately, very real.

Season 2 is here and we’re starting with a bang. Jake Eldridge joins me for a long overdue conversation where we finally address the dating rumors, break down our types, biggest icks, and the realities of dating in 2026. We get into NYC nightlife, how we first met, and some of the funniest (and most unhinged) advice we’ve given each other along the way.

Jake also opens up about his journey—from being a D1 football player at Rutgers to coming out publicly and building a new life as a model and internet personality in New York City. And of course, we tackle the hard-hitting question: would you rather have a micro-penis or a receding hairline?

In this Holiday Spectacular, Matt catches listeners up on life since the Halloween Special—settling into NYC, solo traveling to London, and navigating dating in a new city.

He reads listener-submitted Holiday Scaries, covering everything from hooking up with your crush at the holiday party and surviving Christmas shopping to handling political differences with family once the wine starts flowing.

Matt also talks about the importance of gay representation in TV, how one very hot show unexpectedly got him into hockey, and how coming out helped him stop people-pleasing and care less about internet opinions and hate comments.

The episode wraps with updates on The 29 Project and a preview of what’s coming in Season 2 of The Scaries Podcast.

Matt and his resident twink/BFF Billy Duke are back from the dead for a special out-of-season Scaries episode filled with horror stories, costume changes, and way too many tequila shots. From listener-submitted scaries to Matt’s own coming-out horror stories, nothing is off-limits. It’s spooky, it’s messy, and it’s the unhinged Halloween special you didn’t know you needed — complete with ghosts, gays, and good tequila. 

In the Season One finale, Matt unpacks what it really means to start over—moving to a new city, navigating breakups and open relationships, and finding comfort in your own company. From adjusting to life post-move in NYC to embracing independence, he shares the lessons and mindset shifts that have shaped this chapter. Plus, a look ahead at what’s coming for Season Two of The Scaries Podcast.

The Batchelder Brothers (Chad and Sammy) join Matt on the couch for an unhinged mix of dating disasters, family confessions, and career chaos. Together they tackle Scaries like: a date having a heart attack, accidentally sending a nude to the family group chat, an ex getting a face tattoo after a breakup, and the ultimate debate—eating ass on the first date. Plus, they open up about how growing up with sisters shaped them, share job interview advice, and even weigh in on what happens when your boss ends up pregnant.

Who said dating has to be scary? This episode comes straight from the Banners Bachelor singles event, where the drinks were flowing, the crowd was buzzing, and love (or at least situationships) was in the air. Guests from the audience share their Sunday Scaries—ranging from awkward hookups to growing up in a cult—and help prove that no topic is off limits. It’s your all-access pass to the chaos, laughs, and romance of Boston’s most unforgettable singles night.
