A brother to 3 sisters, content mastermind behind a TikTok House, Ben Sarbacker, hops on this week with Syd & Soph. What is it like content creating, living out in LA in the Go House, and making tiktoks for a living? After learning what Ben is up to, next the girls take a deep dive on his dating app profiles and learn what makes Ben swipe right. The boys (hi Jackson-our producer) answer some questions from our candid lady listeners to get a male perspective on whether guys get the “ick” or if a guy can tell if a girl fakes an orgasm. Is a guy saying "I am not the relationship type", a cop out? Why will a first date go so well, but then you never hear from someone again? You'll also hear his very own straight candid moments about a Tinder date and, our favorite, a pooping the pants story!

It's here! Cuffing season is among us and the girls felt it was the perfect time to talk about how to get through this season, whether cuddling up during the winter months or embracing the single life. But first, a weekend of lifting & a lil piercing; party busses & a gopher win! Would you dabble with a hinge double-trouble profile? In cuffing season, the answer is...YES! In all seriousness, the girls talk about why cuffing season brings us the desire to get hitched, stay in, or work on our internal selves. Next, Syd & Soph speak to self-sabotage, self-doubt, and not knowing when to let something go. Why do we purposefully ruin the things that we love? Why do we talk ourselves into self-doubt; how do we talk ourselves out of it? Follow along, reflect on your relationships & personal battles, and give yourself grace as the girls speak to their biggest sabotage issues that they continue to work on to this day. We are all human.

Balls Deep grace Straight Candid's presence this week on an episode filled with unpacking all things TOXIC pasts. Balls Deep, a podcast that Syd & Soph admire, jump in on a topic they love to speak to - toxic ex's & sex with the ex. Why can sex with an ex be better? Why is it dangerous for our hearts? Would we date the same person we went for in college, now? Each person brings a different perspective on toxic energies and what they've left behind and grown from. From the uncomfortable conversations with friends about their current boyfriend you don't love, to Soph's "list" she keeps handy to remind her why it's a BAD idea to go back, the four leave nothing on the table regarding the moments of weakness we've all had for our pasts. 

Let's dive right in, get Balls Deep in why we crave the things that are the worst for us, and reflect on how far we've come! Welcome our guests this week - HOT HOT HOT!
