UNTCHED

The girls kick off this week's episode with a weekend recap. Chaos, to say the least. Unfortunately, there was major walking dead energy as a reappearance of someone caused a huge breakdown. With that breakdown came realizations for both Riv and Elle. So, this week the girls chat about friendship and closure. Beginning with friendship Riv and Elle discuss what makes a good friend. Remember you have to be a good friend to attract good friends. Riv and Elle then move on to talk about closure. So often, people look for closure from an outside source, but maybe it's time we realize we won't always receive that. The most valuable closure comes from within. Sometimes it's better to keep doors shut because you may not like what's on the other side.

This week Riv and Elle talk about funerals! Have you ever been totally f***ed over by someone and wanted to remove them from your life altogether? Time for a funeral! The girls explain the proper way to plan and execute a funeral. Girls night in or out, drinks, toasts, celebration, and finally eulogies. It's the perfect opportunity to wish that person well and then cut them off. After the funeral, that relationship is dead to you. What happens if they try to come back from the dead? Zombie alert! Riv and Elle touch on how accepting someone back into your life can sometimes leave you in an even worse situation. On Untched, we tread with caution around the paranormal.

This week Riv and Elle start by talking about what everyone is talking about, couch boy! Then, they share their thoughts on the video and move into a conversation about long-distance relationships. As people who share the love languages quality time and touch the girls don't think they could make one work. On the topic of couch boy, Riv and Elle talk about sharing your relationship on social media. Do people only post about their relationship to overcompensate for something that's lacking? Is there a need to prove to others how genuine the connection is? After losing her Instagram, Riv has a different outlook on social media and what should and shouldn't get posted. Next, the girls share their thoughts on boyfriends who won't share their girlfriends on social media. Do they want to keep their personal life personal, or de they want to maintain the single guy persona? How can you tell the difference? Finally, Elle recounts the neighborhood coffee man rejecting her and how she handled that rejection.

With Halloween right around the corner, Riv and Elle thought it was the perfect time to talk about ghosting. People who have been ghosted can attest to how awful it feels. In a frenzy to figure out what went wrong, you usually blame yourself, and questions fly. What happened? Would this have happened if I had done something differently? Unfortunately, there are usually no answers to those questions. As girls who have walked in those shoes, Riv and Elle encourage you to stray away from ghosting someone and instead leave with an explanation. The girls then move on to explain how you should respond to a ghost. Mimic their actions and no longer put any energy into that relationship, don't pull the gamebook out, and please don't post on social media in hopes they'll come running back. The best way to respond is to go MIA just like them. Ghosting is a brutal form of rejection, especially when emotions are involved, but remember, rejection is a projection. What is meant for you will never miss you!

Trigger warning: This episode may contain sensitive topics for some listeners.

This week is all about red flags. First, Riv and Elle react to some listener red flags. Do they agree or disagree? Then, after hearing some of yours, the girls share their own and create the new concept of red lights. You might notice a few red flags in a guy and decide to look past them, but if you spot a red light, put it in reverse and drive the other way. Finally, Riv and Elle touch on the biggest red flag of them all, love bombing. Love bombing leaves no room to step back and think, "do I even like this guy?" It's a form of manipulation used to reel someone in during the honeymoon stage and usually ends MESSY. Hoping you all dodge the love bombers Riv and Elle share the typical traits to look out for. The girls close off the episode with a listener write in, "what do we do with the boyfriends who don't think you should have any guy friends?"

Let's talk about confidence, but first prank calls! Riv and Elle put their prank call skills to the test, but is there any skill at all? 

This week the girls talk about confidence. The first step is self-compassion. We are all so hard on ourselves, but why? Our self-talk should be similar to the way we speak to our closest friends. One way to build that self-compassion is building positive self-talk. Riv and Elle incorporate this in their daily routines with "I am" affirmations. The girls share some action steps you can take to become the most confident you! To finish, Riv and Elle speak on confidence in the bedroom. Is confidence the key to great sex? It's all about getting out of your head and enjoying the moment. This week remember that you are your own biggest critic.

This week the girls decided to lighten the mood with their New York storytime. Imagine everything that could go wrong on a girl's trip and then throw Riv and Elle into the middle of it. A true recipe for disaster. However, failed girl's trips provide excellent content. You could call it a sacrifice for all of you.

A haunted Airbnb, trapped in a subway elevator, ran over by an escalade, a screaming fight in the middle of a restaurant, and so much more in this week's EP. Was New York rejecting them?

After the storytime, the girls answer some highly requested manifestation questions. Attract everything you desire with the methods they share.

Ladies, maybe he's just not that into you. It's a hard truth that we all have to face sometimes, and it's a vicious cycle. First, you romanticize, then you're obsessed, and the entire time you forget to step back and ask yourself, "is any of this reciprocated?"

This week, as girls who have once walked in those shoes, Riv and Elle deliver some tough love. Stop wasting your time on people who put in minimal effort, and stop holding onto that minimal effort. 

How do we avoid this cycle? Well, we need to start setting boundaries! It's time to channel your inner Harry Potter because the girls share a boundaries spell that will change your life. People who don't meet the boundaries you set for yourself are never worth the time. Abracadabra! No more f*ck boys!

To start, the girls recap their drunken Saturday, which included the odd combo of Martinis and Chipotle. Moving into this week's episode, Riv and Elle share a story about catching a cheater. What would you do if you caught your best friend's boyfriend cheating on her? More importantly, what would you do if she never did anything about it? They talk through how hard it is to get caught up in a friend's relationship drama and when/how to say "enough is enough".

Riv and Elle share their opinions on power dynamics in relationships. Does the one who always hosts hold all of the power in the relationship? 

Finally, the girls answer listener questions. What can you do if a guy threatens to share your nudes, and how to get your man to up his wardrobe game.

SOS justice for Riv's Instagram must be served. Can someone start thirst trapping Mark Zuckerberg? 

Before getting booted out of their dorm amid covid scares, Riv and Elle decided to write a letter to the future residents of room 320. Recently, the girls found a picture of the letter they left and decided it was too great not to share on this week's episode. So, Riv and Elle read through the infamous dorm letter and break down the 20 college tips they wrote. Do they still agree with the advice or not at all?
