The Snack: Love Island, DCC, and the Reflecting Pool Scandal

We are so excited to have sat down with Stassi Schroeder ahead of her new show, House of Stassi, to get candid about her reality TV comeback, this show’s contrast from anything she’s done before, why she didn’t edit out the “bad parts,” working with her husband, and what she’s most fearful of when it premieres. We also talk about her first TV stint (it wasn’t Vanderpump!), why reality shows are so much different now, filming with Katie Maloney again, the “Mandela Effect” about her and Jax Taylor, and why being on reality TV is her therapy. She also opens up to us about the pressure of being a perfect mom, being the breadwinner and how her and Beau co-parent, if she ever feels envious of her peers, and the trick she uses to avoid the comparison trap. Before Stassi joins us, we discuss whether you’d rather be seen or heard having sex and how we switched roles for this recording. Enjoy! Follow Stassi on Instagram @stassischroeder and check out her new show House of Stassi dropping July 29 on Hulu.

We loved our conversation with Isabel Klee (aka @SimonSits) about dogs, boys, and coming of age in New York City. The #1 NYT bestselling author shares her stories of looking for love in her 20s before she met her fiancé, the dogs she fostered along the way, and why you can fix a dog but you can’t fix a man. We talk about what secure relationships really feel like and why she freaked out and ended one, the insanely romantic thing he did to get her back, and her theory on getting back together after a breakup. We also discuss why backpacking post-college was “cool” in theory but lonely in reality, her upcoming summer camp wedding, red flags with guys when it comes to dogs, and her book being made into a TV show. Before Isabel joins us, we are talking about friendships going through different stages of life and debating if certain foods have a time of day. Enjoy!

We are discussing the joys of girls trips but also answering some of the uncomfortable questions that come with them – What if everyone has different budgets? How do you navigate opposite travel styles? Do you share rooms (or beds) after the age of 30? What if one girl wants to stay separately from the group? How many plans are too many plans? Does the person who books the house get first choice of room? – and more! And we are also recapping our recent girls trip to France, debating our favorite countries, and chatting about how travel has changed over the last 10-20 years (for better or for worse). Enjoy!

We are discussing guys and their social media behavior – How should men in committed relationships be using Instagram? Should they clean up their following when they get into a relationship? What social media engagement is harmless and what crosses the line? – inspired by Ali Kolbert’s viral Subway Take. We are sharing our own thoughts and experiences and the results of surveying our audience, plus we break down two listener emails about bikini pics and a shady brother. Before we get into the topic, we’re previewing our trip to France, sharing a travel/points hack to book international business class, and as it’s the last full episode in the LA studio, we are taking a trip down memory lane and reminiscing on all our previous recording locations.

We can guarantee you’ve never heard an episode like this before! We are joined by Kristina Denton, former penis fixer and author of You Don't Know Dick: How I Healed My Daddy Issues Fixing Broken Dicks. She shares the story of how she got into the business of treating dysfunctional dicks and all the questions you’re dying to know (Why were most men coming to the clinic? How does it work? Do they get hard during the procedure?). But she also shares what she learned about men and their shame, why they overcompensate, and what’s really going on in their relationships and lives when their penises won’t perform, plus how she healed her own issues with her father through her dick fixing journey. We also discuss what to say/what not to say if you’re dealing with a partner who has ED, patterns of dick size (and whether height correlates), why guys need penis pumps (who knew!), and her own past sexless relationship. Before Kristina joins us, we are breaking down “bird hands” and why they’re a male ick, and we have a discussion about the evolution of our podcast and how much we choose to share. Enjoy! Follow Kristina on Instagram at @Kristina7Denton and get her book You Don’t Know Dick on Amazon or Barnes & Noble.

We are beyond honored to be joined by the modern master of adult attachment theory – Dr. Amir Levine! The neuroscientist and co-author of the bestselling book Attached, and his new release Secure, is here to explain the four attachment styles and how they dictate our lives, and how anyone (yes, anyone) can become more secure in romantic relationships, friendships, family dynamics, and more. He walks us through the five attributes of secure attachment (CARRP), and the importance of seemingly insignificant minor interactions (SIMIs). We talk about whether an avoidant person and an anxious person can work out romantically, his technique of “wall tennis with love” to use with an avoidant, why predictability in a partner is hot not boring, his rule for managing a conflict with someone you love, and why secure attachment is contagious. Before Amir joins us, Rayna recaps her movers coming, Ashley has an unpopular food opinion to discuss, and we talk about how much your best friend should know about your sex life. Enjoy! Watch Dr. Amir Levine’s MasterClass The Science of Connection, get his books Attached and Secure, and visit his website for more.
