98. Love is Blindfolded

Harrison Forman and Brandon Berman present a dating experience with all the intrigue of Love is Blind, but without the editing or gold chalices – UpDating. They recount the journey that inspired the live blindfolded reality dating show as it exists today, and the wildest on-stage connections and rejections to-date. We wrap with insights into our own dating lives, including their experience with clout chasers, their hypothesis on my type, Brandon’s future UpDating proposal, and Harrison’s recent date with a former Interstates & Heartbreak guest.

90. Tinder Swindler Schaudenfreude

Today I’m here solo to discuss reality dating shows and why they have such a hold on us. I analyze how my relationship to Love is Blind and The Bachelor is analogous to and old school Playboy Magazine, and dive into how The Tinder Swindler recently rounded out my trifecta of dating content consumption. I raise all the red flags – both those that foreshadowed the swindler victims’ downfall AND the ones that would be showcased in a dating documentary about my own life, raising the question – am I myself Tinder Swindlable? Oh, and Google teaches me how to correctly pronounce “schadenfreude” on air.

89. Love is Blurry

Today I pull out the gold wine glasses with the ladies of Dope Shit My Therapist Says podcast return to discuss the Love is Blind season 2 finale and reunion. We dive into all of our unfiltered thoughts about the cast – from unofficial therapy diagnoses, to villain “edits,” to the couples we stan (and the breakups we stanned more). Most importantly, I share why the reunion inspired me to withdraw my shade around “I’m Nick Lachey, OBVIOUSLY,” and “My fiancé is hot like Beyoncé.”

87. Insecure…ly Attached

Marla Goldstein of G-Spot Coaching joins the podcast to discuss your body’s biggest sexual organ – the brain. We dive into her mission to help women find emotionally available partners, and identify the early online and IRL red flags that signal someone is emotional UNavailable. We then dissect the attachment styles and their correlation to availability, while analyzing our own attachment tendencies (along with every Love is Blind cast member’s).
