100. Zero to 100 Episodes

Welcome to Interstates & HeartDRAKE, where I get IN MY FEELINGS about my journey from 0 TO 100 episodes. Things go from OVO to AMA as I answer listener-submitted questions about :

— How I cope when I’M UPSET
— TIMELINES as they relate to exclusivity
— What I would do if I had no MORE LIFE to live after 5 months
— BACK TO BACK questions about the biggest lessons I learned from dating my first ex and producing the podcast
…and the Johnny Depp v. Amber Heard trial, but I ran out of Drake lyrics.

Jk, here’s one more – listen to the end if you want to SEE WHAT’S ‘BOUT TO HAPPEN NEXT for Interstates & Heartbreak, OKAY?

Please don’t un-follow me because of the Drake puns : @interstatesandheartbreak

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.

95. Chronic Illness Dating Chronicles

Gigi Robinson provides visibility to a typically invisible condition – Ehlers-Danlos syndrome – and recounts the 10+ year journey post-diagnosis that ultimately led her to build a platform dedicated to awareness around chronic illness. She drags the men who’ve had (FAR) less than ideal responses to her condition in the past, from bouncing mid-makeout, to an attempted religious conversion. She also shares the secrets around confidence and body image that ultimately led her to a Sports Illustrated swim shoot.

94. What Happened in Vegas…

What happens in Vegas…gets recapped on this week’s solo podcast episode as I share a story about a married man who embodies the “What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas” attitude. I divulge how a night out on a chill mother-daughter Vegas trip raised broader questions around infidelity, the politics of free drinks, and rejection etiquette.

93. I’m So F-ing Grateful For My Ex

Jenn and Julien from Ex Appeal podcast address an age old question – can straight men and women TRULY be friends? They share how their relationship evolved from hook up buddies to friends and podcast cohosts, and tackle questions like whether friendship can co-exist with sexual attraction, how much detail your partner needs to know about your past hookups, and whether accountants really need their own podcasts.

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.”

84. I’m Sorry. I Can’t. Don’t Hate Me.

This week Liana Pavane and I discuss modern breakups more realistic than Che Diaz’s “two-FaceTime” story. She shares how a phone call breakup drove her to break out of toxic dating patterns and explore a “selfship” before getting back out there. We discuss why you need to create your own closure, and concrete steps towards to recovering from a breakup. On the flip side, we outline how to execute good breakup etiquette in regards to timing, location, and depth of explanation – and reflect on our past experiences that served as examples of what NOT to do.

66. Swipe Economy

Roland Toney, brother-in-law of former guest David Zeff, shares his perspective on dating apps as an elder millennial who’s never used them. We analyze the dating app economics that favor fuckboy behaviors and undermine efforts to find a long-term partner, like A/B profile testing (evaluating which pictures/prompts have the highest success rate), level of investment (commitment to people you meet on an app vs. IRL), and paradox of choice (endless profiles to swipe through).

64. Porn: The Good, the Bad, and the Fugly

Join me and Azaria Menezes for a discussion about porn that won’t leave you wanting to immediately clear your search history. We discuss the evolution of our relationship with porn, from our first encounters to the role it’s played in shaping our sexuality to-date. Topics range from OnlyFans’ empowerment of its creators, to porn’s impact on labiaplasties and anal bleaching.
