What You Need to Know About Finding (and Keeping) Love with Jay Shetty

It’s an episode dedicated to something we all (or most of us) have done and aren’t proud of – sabotaging a relationship. We discuss all the ways people sabotage relationships, the reasons we do it, and how to stop, plus we’re sharing our experiences and the saboteur behavior our listeners opened up to us about. Before we get into the topic, we’re breaking down the correlation between chicken wings and blowjobs and recapping another week in LA (spoiler alert: Rayna tripped again, Ashley had to walk out of a workout class).

Why Do We Sabotage Relationships?

Coming to you from LA, we are joined by the hilarious Trevor Wallace and Michael Blaustein of Stiff Socks podcast. We’re having an extra uncensored discussion about dick size, the “unique” ways guys masturbate, and porn watching habits. Then they “mansplain” the reasons guys: Watch your Instagram stories after they ghost you, talk about future plans when they don’t want a relationship, always resurface (sometimes after years and years), continue to DM/text you when you don’t respond, and more. Before the guys join us, we’re talking about the routines we already have in LA, Rayna’s hot tub goal, and Ashley’s shocking outdoor shower. Enjoy!
