50 Worst Dates Podcast

Sup kids, this week the pod is back with a chat about sexually transmitted diseases, infections and other various ailments, the stigma around them and that Katie really wants a porno robe to wear to her Zoom birthday party. In a world that is doing nothing but talking about one particular virus, we thought we'd take this time to teach about some other far more long-standing and honestly more common ones. These viruses and conditions range from very curable, to treatable to at least manageable. There are some personal tales in here because, you know, having these issues is not uncommon. Getting an illness from another human, as we are now very aware, is very easy. Having that illness affect your person-bits is really what causes the stigma these diseases, their education and their treatment face. So hopefully this makes things a little less weird the next time you or someone you know feels a little itching or burning.

We know you can't leave your house right now but we're pretending that you can for 35 minutes and then following it up with Dua Lipa level new rules on how to handle your first post-quarantine first date, we swear. Following up from the Taboos episode, someone reached out specifically for the hosts to talk about sex on the first date. Why is it such a THING? Why does it have to be a THING? And that's a great question and we couldn't really find a direct historical answer, but we have thoughts all the same. At the end of the day, be a slut and do whatever you want. Do what makes you feel good and remember sex is not a tool to get someone to stay or like you or whatever. Don't do that. Gross. That said, the second you get out of quarantine, everyone gets a free pass to get with one majorly regrettable person. That's the new rule. We make those rules.

There are a lot of "should I say this" or "should I do this" in dating. It feels often like a if you don't fit the mold, the system won't work for you. Frankly, that's trash and we don't care. So on this week's pod we're talking about dating taboos, why they happen, some common issues (body hair and period sex, BABYYYY) and how certain taboos can be good for you. Because guess what? Shaving your legs has a long and storied history of being sexist. The brigade against period sex does too. So this week, Amanda breaks down some BS on razors and why that's trash, Katie tells a tale of period sex in a frat house (if you can guess which one, you get a prize!!!) and basically the moral of the story is be a slut, do whatever you want.

Whew. It's been a time, right? You're cozy in your house and hopefully not overwhelming the American hospital system, right? You're social distancing, right? You know what that means, right? Well honestly, do you? If you're feeling freaked by the sheer amount of direction you've been given on doing your part to save humanity, this is your opportunity to sit back, relax, laugh gratuitously at our jokes and learn what you need to know PLUS how to date while you do the thing. Staying six feet away from someone is easy when you have the wonders of the internet at your disposal - between texting, calling, videos, card games, all of Netflix - you're really fine. We're just here to remind you.

It's week two for the hosts of social distancing and formal quarantining. It sucks. We hate it here. But alas, this week we discuss the pros and cons of quarantining with bae versus going it alone like the strong independent woman (or non-woman) you are. Between the space constraints, the working from home, the communication needed - everything is certainly different now and the hosts are handling it differently themselves. Featuring some dragging of Rolling Stone journalism, Amanda shopping for a sweatsuit, Katie's deep, deep loneliness and some great stories of quarantine peril from our new favorite www.thesocialdistanceproject.org, we will reassure you that it's okay to do whatever you want, but also everyone is struggling with this new reality and its okay.

Are you stuck inside right now? Maybe being told to involuntarily be less social? Weird stuff. Almost as weird as this week's episode which features: an hour of Coronavirus-free content, delicate quoting of Smash Mouth, a call from Amanda's (dead) grandpa, hardcore name dropping/bleeping-out, dragging Katie for being the most humble and modest woman to ever live, lots of nonsense dating terms and other associated goofs. It's a weird, weird time to be alive right now and we're just trying to give you an hour of your day that's weird in other ways. Enjoy! Share! Love us!

What to do about cheating... and a million other tangents. We're talking why people cheat, and embarrassing sex mishaps, we're discussing poor excuses for cheating, and personality tests, and we've even got what to do if you know someone is cheating... and our endorsement for the Democratic nominee. Honestly, this episode has it all. Because it's pretty rare to get through your dating life, especially early on, without seeing cheating, being cheated on or even being the cheater. It's not a black and white situation, there are legitimate reasons it happens and while playing around with other people's feelings is bad, it's worth diving into more - so go ahead and press play.

Hello ladies, gentlemen and everyone in-between, around or non-conforming because gender roles are unnecessary and stupid! This is the 50 Worst Dates podcast where one hour of riffing, definitions, Psych Today articles and awkwardly cut portions of the hosts dishing on big life drama will eradicate gender roles. What does that mean? Well you can listen and find out. Or actually, here it is. A gender role is the role or behavior learned by a person as appropriate to their gender, determined by the prevailing cultural norms. Meaning it's made up and the points don't matter. Listen to get the deets on this and other associated terms from cis to agender and all of the things in-between and around with Amanda. Keep going to hear how you're supposed to take this information about living within a structure that limits liberties and causes erasure with Katie because like, gender roles are bad but how do you date dudes while knowing that the system is rigged and bad?

Like we told you last week - Mercury is in retrograde and things are hard. Scheduling conflicts happen. Podcasting is like, barely, an art form. It's definitely not an art form when we do it. This week is a re-run of 14: Meet Cubes & Meet Cutes from August 1, 2019. This week the hosts are dishing out some well-needed cuteness with their guest, Lillie Kase and talking MEET CUTES (and meat cubes). What's a meet cute, you ask? Well, it can mean many things, from Amanda's story about ugly pants, Lillie's tale of long-term Facebook stalking, to that bit from The Holiday or 50WD listener submissions. The common thread, at the end of the day is having enough blind confidence to go after someone in a non-creepy, welcomed way. Join your favorite ladies and one of their favorite ladies in shooting the business on meeting people, flirting and Hulk-sized dildos. Not even kidding about that last one. You know it's always a wild ride with this podcast, this isn't new. Just jump on in.

Have you been unable to express your feelings, read a map or understand basic directions recently? That's because the stars have spoken, Mercury Retrograde is here and we're all dumb-dumbs now. In an effort to prevent Dumb-Dumbhood, 50WD is here with a little communication #vibecheck for you. That's right, check them vibes. Starting with: What kind of communicator are you? How do you figure that out (a good ol' online quiz, obvi) and what do you do with that information? How do you chill your dang feelings to properly communicate with your partner/parents/roommates/whoever you're trying to talk to? We answer those questions, plus which Bratz doll the hosts are. You know, important stuff.

Valentine's Day is super fucking metal. It's a historical fact. Today on this beautiful Galentine's Day, your favorite podcast (it's your favorite now, sorry, you don't have a choice) is just trying to be lighthearted and goofy and reassure you that this holiday doesn't matter - but that doesn't mean it's made up. It's actually based in some pretty wild Roman rituals that are metal af. We got history, culture, jokes, bad date stories, sacrifices of the hosts' own bad V-Days and a lot of love for Leslie Knope and Galentine's Day. What else do you need?

Hello friends, neighbors, people who found this podcast accidentally and are now mildly confused! Welcome back to another round of 50WD. This week the pod and the pals are diving deep into relationship milestones. As we're deep in (or at the tail end) of cuffing season, what of those relationship moments really matter? If you're not seeing the same moments and wins and leveling up your best friend is, does that matter? Does it speak poorly about your relationship? Should you let it get you down? That answer is a resounding no, because it's like whatever works for you. But we have more to it than just that. Jump in for Amanda's love of love and Katie's cold dose of realism, because 50WD is talking about what it means to poop in your S/O's presence.

Sup, nerds! This week on the variety-show-caberet-comedy-hour-rant-session that is 50WD we are talking Gaslighting - because what the heck does that mean anyways? Well, Amanda has a definition for you, Katie has some #facts for you and you're going to learn yourself a thing. Gaslighting Is, at its core, manipulation that removes you from your grasp on reality, makes you distrust yourself and your perspective and is just some really skeezeball behavior. It is not cool. This, however, is a radical self-love podcast where we are ready to pep talk you if you feel like you relate or know someone who does. It's okay to get manipulated, but you got to pull yourself together and remove that garbage from your path, and that's really what is up for discussion today. Hope you learn something, feel something or enjoy something.

Is it Cher/ABBA "Money" or Cardi B "Money?" Well, you'll have to find out in this episode. It's 2020 and people are getting DUMPED because they make more money than their boyfriends and we are MAD ABOUT IT. Basically, we're talking feminism and money and dating. Are you still a feminist if you want the guy to pay on a first date? Does your girl power card get revoked when you do the fake wallet grab? What does science say about all of this? 50WD this week has a sleepy Amanda, an offended Katie and several university studies telling you that we have not come as far as the Women's March might have you think.

Happy Thursday! Glad you're back! It's time, once again, to help the good 50WD community. This week, an anonymous IG DM-er has posed Katie and Amanda with some heavy questions, all about how to deal with an ex on Instagram. Do you block them? Keep them in close friends? How long do you do that for? How do you cope? This person is walking around with all your secrets and has seen you naked, and they can just randomly choose to watch your Instagram stories? Isn't that wild? Yeah, it is. Also talking about burps, gas, social media cleanses, dating apps, all that nonsense. Another week of mumbo and jumbo, dive right in friends.

They're back! 2020 is hitting hard with new years resolutions and returns to real life. As you brush off your brain to the reality of work, school, people, whatever you have to deal with - it's hard to keep your mental health together in general. Add all of this self-improvement business and it gets really tough. Today Amanda and Katie are talking about new years resolutions, body positivity and what everyone should take as their 2020 resolution: trying not to suck. So whether you want to clean your room, shed a few pounds or not be a total dillweed, there's something in this self-love, Lizzo-fueled, funny side-story filled pep talk and idea brainstorm for you. Just as not structured and rambly as ever. Also features a toothless bad date listener mail and if you listen closely, Amanda's upstairs neighbors learning the tango. Happy New Year, 50WD fans.

So you snuck in, snuck around, hide in a closet, got around the security cameras - but are you ready to be a Great American Dick Ninja? Probably. We've all done it, it's like a badge of life. This week A&K have a listener mail from the good old CSHS realm and they are dissecting on air almost as much as off air. Between tails of dick ninja-ing into a high secure home in the suburbs (twice, we have two stories about it) to Craigslist nightmares this week is all about the leaps and bounds people go through to get it. The motivation is amazing. It's also hilarious. That's why you're here. That's enough said, get listening.

Another week of mild technical difficulties can't get these ladies down. This week Katie and Amanda are answering YOUR questions, giving YOU advice and solving ALL of the problems that exist in the world. Yeah, you heard that right. There are no more problems on Planet Earth. That's it, we're all happy now. JK JK JK we have more than a billion problems, but the hosts have started here with questions about admitting you met your bae on an app, crazy ex girlfriends, cat-fishing, coping with life, work problems and loving yourself. Most of the basics. Thanks to everyone who asked questions, hopefully some of your problems are solved.

Happy Thanksgiving, we're thankful for you bothering to read this! This week the pod features some more pep-talkin' and an old faithful guest, dear Bree Sauls. She's wise and argues that she's not a millennial, so her advice is legit. With Thanksgiving being, well, today, it's time to talk about being grateful - no, wait, we're not doing that, we're talking about how coming home to siblings, friends, old friends, exes and whoever can really ignite anxieties about where you should be in life. Have I accomplished enough? Do I make enough money? And it brings in complex emotions and "shoulda, coulda, woulda" issues. All of that is BS, baby, you're doing fine, but you should listen to us to find out more. Also, sorry about sound quality and tech issues - we are thankful for them, they keep us humble.

Helllllllllloooo friends, do these hosts have some business to get into with you. This week is another one of antics, giggles and meticulously cutting around the inner details about personal lives because it's about to get intimate up in here. And by that, we're talking sex toys. The holidays mean seeing your family, twinkle lights, cookies and roaring fires - but it also means Cyber Monday sales where you can get yourself a DEAL on something sexy for yourself and not feel remotely guilty about dropping that good money on yourself. This week K&A talk stigma, talk conversations about incorporation and as always have some gnarly worst date tales to tell.

This week 50WD is covering one of the most 2019 things out there: Ghosting. It's ubiquitous to the Tinder age. It's happened to all of us, all of us have done it and some of us are trying to do neither of those things and find love or whatever. With the spark of some listener mail (thank u, basic listener) and Amanda being bitter about some dude, you get to hear a pep talk about how ghosting is not actually that bad, it's psychologically more prevalent with people who believe in The One (TM) and some other sh*t shooting. There's some ghost stories that seem to be tied by a common Chipotle thread, Amanda tells a tale of a crazy ex girlfriend, Katie complains about her exes and only some of it was cut out this time - it's all the usual hijinks. Remember that you too can submit pleas for advice, no matter how basic, via email or DM. Get listening, nerds.

BOO! SPOOKY! SCARY! HAPPY HALLOWEEN y'all! It's the best day of the year. While last week your ghoulish hoe-sts walked you through the do's, don'ts and walks home from this glorious holiday, today is all in the spooky spirit with some scary whore-ror stories. Lord Farquaad and Medusa tell tales of the Dating Game Killer, who is named Robert, or Randy, or Richard or something and his nasty crimes, a Creepy Pasta with a surprising and um, interestingly written twist, and a true-tale of how Katie went on a date with a guy who gave off heavy serial killer vibes. There's laughs, cackles, a weird intro of terrifying millennial dating things that is never really touched on or explained - this episode has it all. Sit back, don't relax too much and remember to not go on dates with serial killers. Happy Halloween!

Get ready, ghouls, fools and hotties in between: the Halloween episodes have arrived. Round one is a lovely lil' reminder to not be icky this holiday season. Whether that's being appropriative (don't be a Spacey Kacey, y'all), letting the patriarchy tell you to be a sexy baby or losing condoms inside of people - don't be icky. Plain and simple. That said, this week your hoe-sts are inspiring you with some learnings on cultural appropriation, because a good and comedic reminder is never a bad thing. You're getting new and improved Halloween ideas, because maybe you aren't like Katie and Amanda and you haven't had your costume decided on since Christmas. You're even getting a bunch of listener tales of Halloween Walks of Shame (or Strides of Pride, no judgement). You'll laugh, you'll sigh, you'll hear Rocky wag his tail. Get on it.

Another week, another episode of shenanigans. This week your hoe-sts have a good old buddy on, Sarah, to talk about how at least 1/3 long distances relationships around the table don't have to fail. Sometimes bae moves, sometimes you move, sometimes you're just dumb, but however it happens, there's a lot of great tips to follow to keep the vibe alive. The LDR is a hard moment and Katie and Amanda speak to their experiences, but Sarah brings some well-needed positivity in with her lovely story about her and her boyfriend's LDR and not so LDR relationship. The week has laughs, jokes, high school horror stories (both Sarah's worst date and the pause in the show to talk about Amanda drawing on her face in 2019 like she did when she was 15) and a listener mail that is... sh*tty to say the least.

Wow y’all welcome back you’re in for a ride this week - and not the one you imagine taking with your hoe-sts, wink wink. This week you jump right into a normal gals conversation about gross stuff that was strategically cut to remove questionable privacy issues and the word “goopy.” Joining your darling ladies this time are with some of their most darling ladies, Sarah and Kelsey, to talk about ableism in dating in the scope of mental illness. Due to podcasting being a hobby kind of thing and you not listening to enough ads apparently, the sound may be funky, so ye be warned. Honestly, just kind of imagine you’re at Denny’s with the crew for all this, it’ll be better that way. Now that those disclaimers are out of the way, prepare for thoughts from a thot on the new Joker movie, how long-term mental illness affects dating, finding a partner, getting laid, etc, and a story about giggin’. Just remember that mental illness stigma is real but that doesn't mean anyone should feel bad or limited about their normal, it just means that we have to find ways to make it work.

Are you ready to hear about Osmosis Jones and spoons? Maybe a bad hook up story involving the phrase "dead turtle position?" Well dude, I hope you are because that's what's queued up for you this week. For this week's 50WD the pals dive into dating with physical disabilities, whether they are obvious, invisible or you're just clueless, because as long as you're not a jerk about it, the hosts think it's okay to be clueless. Amanda is this week's person of interest as she discusses her four different invisible illnesses and how they have changed how she approaches everything in life, including dating. Katie is mostly along for the ride and here to ask dumb questions and tell fun stories. So it's pretty on brand for them. Get listening and remember to submit your worst dates and horror stories to be featured in a future episode.

Welcome back to the channel, it's time to keep being woke. This week the ladies and their guest, Leianna are here to follow up on Episode #20: Get Kinky to talk about what isn't a kink... meaning people. Sorry to burst your bubble, jerks, but people are not kinks. You can't have a kink or fetish for any race, gender, orientation or whatever. If you do, this is a great episode to listen to because you'll learn about how uncomfy that is. Leianna walks your favorite hoe-sts through her experience in this regard, with a conversation with some irksome pickup lines, lots of lols and high-quality sound bites. Wrapping up this week is a listener mail from a guy who was apparently looking to bag people based on their race or religion but eventually redeems himself, a very emo happy ending and some other good stuff. Take a listen, kids.

Love yourself, bish! That's it. That's the whole episode description. JK. Really, today your favorite hoes are on their own and talking the journey and constant work that is loving yourself. Like Lizzo wants you to. There's some heavy stuff, some serious reflection and a whole lot of tea this week. If you ever felt like you were not enough, too much, not good enough or whatever and you get up every day, look yourself in the mirror and don't hate yourself, this one is for you. If you do feel that way, every day or just sometimes, this one is for you too. Topping this one off is a lovely listener mail from a Wes Anderson fan who met a real angry person and a DM from a friend and neighbor that recalls Amanda dragging a boy in the fifth grade. You know, normal stuff.

The sluts are back and they have a friend this week, Amanda's STL-area Taruaean, Breanna Sauls. Bree has seen a lot, done a lot and has a very open mind (Any babies looking for mommies out there? She's got you) and is the perfect guest for this week's topic: kinks. Your hosts and their pal will educate you on the lingo of the kink community - from fetishes to impact to scat, tell their tales, tell some other tales, discuss how cute those little butt plugs with the tails are, teach you how to approach your partner's kinks, exploring your kinks and telling people in a cool and casual way that you are indeed a freak.

Oh boy, oh boy, if you learn one thing today it's going to be not to slut shame the 50WD hosts because they will put you on blast. Thank goodness for the internet, allowing them an opportunity like this. Today's topic is slut shaming and they're (rightfully) angry about it. You got Amanda's recent tales, Katie's college stories, Slut Walk reflections, Beanie Feinstein (read: not really, but that's what we can all imagine) telling a tale of a mouthy nurse practitioner and more. If you listen closely, you'll hear where Katie gets french fries delivered half way through the episode. Basically, be a strong independent human and don't slut shame people. Listen if you want to hear more than that.

Welcome back to another week of musing and burps with the 50WD ladies. This week, following up on last week's chat about expectations, it's time to define the relationship. What are weeeeeeeeeeeee? Katie and Amanda tell their own stories from DTR three dates in to Amanda's very fresh and heartfelt tale of the DTR. At the end of the day, relationships are much like everything else in our twenties, they go at different paces and look differently for everyone and defining them is no different. Just remember the honesty is the best policy and to always test out the boyfriend/girlfriend wordage waters with your Uber driver before committing to the relationship. Also up for discussion - a girl who can't seem to define the relationship with the girl she's been dating for a year and now lives with AND a guy who doesn't know if he should feel bad about putting a girl on the back-burner ahead of possibly defining a relationship with someone else. AND a man that keeps his pants together with Duct Tape. It's a wild one, folks.

Did you know the hosts are crazy astro girls? Well now you do. This podcast is a Leo, but your hosts are a Taurus and a Cancer. So this week expect some feels and some advice because that's what their signs are known for, but also that's what this podcast is about. This week, it's all about early stages of dating and handling your crazy - aka expectation management. He didn't text you back in .004 seconds? Calm tf down girl, you need this pep talk. This week has tips, tricks, the all-important GIRLFRIEND MENU concept (TM) and a crazy listener submission that makes the hosts ponder the age-old question "When do you tell your Tinder match about your brain tumor?" It's a gas in so many ways this week, so you might as well just jump on in.

Back on their bs would be an understatement this week, y'all. This week your favorite podcast hoe-sts take you through a long story (but relaxing, it's perfect podcast material) a la The New Yorker to tell you all about age differences. And how age doesn't really matter, maturity does. And how much money that old man is leaving you in his will. But actually, "Cat Person" from 2017 is a fantastic tale of how age does not equate maturity and how you shouldn't sleep with someone because you don't know how to stop the momentum of hooking up with them. Also this week: Amanda's tale of seducing an older man in a foreign land, Katie getting grilled for her opinions about where babies belong (less public places, especially not brunch) and shaming Leonardo DiCaprio. This is not THE anti-slut shaming podcast, but this podcast shares the same sentiment. All the same, still going to shame Leo for dumping girls when they turn 25. That's too calculated. It's a loophole and it's allowed.

Straight up, the hosts are not doing well this week. Amanda is working a million hours and Katie in the middle of an existential crisis. However, the show must go on and they promised a conversation about apps and meeting cute and being happy. So here we are. Because they are not in the best of moods, you still get some gnarly host worst date stories - ie: Do You Know The Muppet Man? He Lives In Humbolt Park (AKA Where they had gator, just an FYI) and Ted Bundy II. You do also get some APPY endings from some dear friends and listeners which all support the thesis statement that apps are a good thing. You can weed out people who lack the qualities you want (though sometimes you can't weed our weirdos) and you can meet them in cute and heartwarming ways. Don't discredit the internet. There's a lot there. Like this podcast. So give it a listen.

Welcome back, if you came back after that ruff one last week. This week the hosts are dishing out some well-needed cuteness with their guest, Lillie Kase and talking MEET CUTES (and meat cubes). What's a meet cute, you ask? Well, it can mean many things, from Amanda's story about ugly pants, Lillie's tale of long-term Facebook stalking, to that bit from The Holiday or 50WD listener submissions. The common thread, at the end of the day is having enough blind confidence to go after someone in a non-creepy, welcomed way. Join your favorite ladies and one of their favorite ladies in shooting the business on meeting people, flirting and Hulk-sized dildos. Not even kidding about that last one. You know it's always a wild ride with this podcast, this isn't new. Just jump on in.

Ooooooh boy, it's a doozie today. Like a Trigger Warning (TM) doozie. Today is all about toxic relationships, what they look like, how the start, how they end, how to know you're in one and how to get tf out. So like, yikes. Self awareness is key and this episode dives into the hosts' awareness of their past and how they've experienced toxic relationships. Katie and Amanda have seen some ish, so be aware. On the brighter side, they've got some cold hard #facts with the redflags of these monster relationships, how to break orbit and advice from the peanut gallery, aka listener folks. Plus, this episode has hands-down the best listener mail to date. So settle in for a long one, but a good one, because this is important and so are you.

Ope, look at that, 50WD is back. This week the ladies are talking lady things and lady parts to cover the importance, the pains and the horror stories (but no accidental pregnancy stories) of using birth control. If you ever considered switching and want some anecdotal but by no means 1:1 medical advice, here you go. Every prescription type is covered and as a bonus, Amanda gets on her menstrual cup high horse. Katie tells all about her inspiration for the episode which stems from a Florida Woman experience. Both of them tell you why they think birth control is SUPER important and being informed is VITAL TO YOU OR YOUR PARTNER'S HEALTH. But it's still fun, don't worry!

Welcome back to another week of hard questions. Last week was history test questions, this week it's anal sex FAQs. If you're not into it, blame Amanda because it's her birthday and she picked the theme. But let's be real, you're a little curious. Luckily your favorite hosts and their guest this week, Jamie Fredrick, have been out in the world doing their research just for this moment. Not really, but they will try to apply learnings for their own #WorstDates stories (i.e.: lots of screaming) and teach you a thing about the other hole. Will you learn anything? Actually, you might. We won't know that until you listen though, so here you go, tune in now.

243 years ago today - some white dudes did a thing and now we're here suffering through it. Who were those white dudes? The Founding Fathers... or were they just f*ckbois? For this special holiday episode you'll be getting hot takes on history, relationships and the confluence between the two. Who was the biggest f*ckboi of them all? The guy who was a notorious predator-nerd? The guy with the Tonys? Or the guy with the hundred dolla bills? Also, isn't this a dating podcast? So will there be discussions around dating? How does the preamble go? Who knows? Find out this week and listen to your favorite ladies, you know you want to.

Another week, another letter in this big gay acronym, LGBT(QIA+)! For the final installment in the Pride Month series, the ladies get into the minds, hearts and pants of the trans community, or at least Logan Martin, confirmed trans man/big boi. There's a whole lot to unpack here, but conveniently Logan's been carrying all of these heavy things in his cargo pants, so it's all good. Body dysmorphia, fertility, seeing penises, bathrooms, pooping in gender neutral bathrooms and more are all on the table today. With the goal of answering some dumb questions and providing a little perspective, Logan takes everybody through what life is like for a dude working in the stock room of the Container Store, because that's what we all want to hear about. In all seriousness, it is a solid episode that will provide perspective to you if you feel a little clueless sometimes and a couple of laughs if you find yourself feeling a little (or even a lot) queer sometimes. Also, ladies, Logan is V single!

Another week, another sexuality to teach you all about, amirite? This week the sexuality of choice is Double Asexual, a la the Babadook for the B episode of this BEAUTIFUL LGBT series. You might think that's a joke but it is 100% not a joke. This week, Katie and Amanda bring you their Pulitzer Prize #ForYourConsideration piece, An Interview With The Babadook. Because if Ann Rice can do it, 50WD can too. The pod talks babasexuality, life and rug sales. Seriously. Then there's a Ross-Style over to the real subject of the podcast, bisexuality, the B to the LGBT. Bisexuality gets a real weird rap and your favorite ladies break down exactly how and why that is absolute trash, myths about bisexuality because they too are mythical monster creatures like the Babadook and just general other stuff. It's weird, it's great and it will teach you things. What's not to like?

Y'all it's June. It's Pride Month. It's illegal to be straight. Only gays. So we're back to talk about the G of the LGBT this week: The Gays (TM). But don't worry, because these ladies know their audience! This is an all encompassing, inclusive episode that will not teach you ANYTHING about abstinence. We're talking about some real rough stuff, like the AIDS crisis and some rough-if-you-consent stuff like safe sex strategies because we have an in-house nurse and an in-house daughter of a health teacher, so you are hearing from the absolute experts here. Also in your airwaves we have 50WD's first on-air game show that will teach you either some common terminology for the gay community OR how to cook. Just one or the other, not both. Put on your big kid speedo and slap on some rainbow glitter, y'all, because it's Pride Month and we're all about to get real educational here.

Holy moly guys, we're back for another week and this podcast is finally doing what it was dreamed to do so long ago. This week your lady hosts bring on the gal-est of pals, Katie's dear friend, Jess. You'll be posed with tough questions like: Should you feel less weird or violated when you get your straight butt grabbed in a gay bar? When you haven't defined your gay relationship, it's weird to call someone your partner, right? And how do I, a straight cis person, not ruin Pride for the people it's really all about? But it doesn't stop there - you'll also get our first worst date with a happy ending! Get ready for a fairy tale for a side of LGBTQIA+ education this week, folks. This is the L of our lettuce, bacon, guacamole and tomato sandwich that is LGBT Pride Month!

This week your 50WD ladies are breaking down the first rule of true crime podcasts: f*ck politeness. After last week's foundation in hoetation, it's good to remember to keep yourself safe but also that you don't owe anybody anything. They bring you a wild Reddit Rollercoaster and Amanda's tale of Store Brand Marty McFly to feminist pep talk you into remembering that you don't need to put up with anything. But it gets better! This week, the gals have a guest. Alex Lopez it a California cool girl artist (www.speakinsmoke.com) and here to tell you about the polyamorous and bisexual lifestyle in her eyes. Because guess what, when you're poly and bi you significantly increase your chances of having people imposing on you and feeling entitled to you, your time and your body, but like, f*ck politeness.

It's been a whole four episodes in and your favorite ladies are finally teaching you the scientifically-proven, absolute best methods to be a ho. Katie sets the scene with her best Jonathan Van Ness impression because she's been watching too much Gay of Thrones, Amanda really reflects on a lot of things but mostly her ex's new flip flop affliction and best of all you'll get the breakdown and best practices of the seasonally appropriate summertime hoetation. Bonus: There's MORE listener mail, like, it's becoming a thing now! This week its about a real awkward date that took a lot more cuts to record than what you're hearing because it's just that funny. Remember, you can be one of these anonymous submissions too, because we've all been on a bad date at some point.

Welcome to episode three where if you listen carefully, Katie doesn't even know the name of her own podcast. This week your favorite ladies are back with the hot takes on everyone's favorite body part with almost too many euphemisms. Amanda breaks down the ten commandments of giving head, Katie realizes that Severus Snape and Darth Vader have the same non-redemption arc and there are some gnarly retellings of horrible hookups. Bonus, we even have our first listener mail which is what one might call... a gutterball.

This week the ladies do a lot of musing on the biggest thing that makes 2019 dating unlike dating in any other era of history: them apps. Because sure, you can get dates without them but who really cares to put pants on and leave the house until you've locked down that first date? We discuss how to kill it in your Tinder bio, how Katie kills it at nerd trivia, Amanda and her distaste for the Tindz and just generally how it's all about that mutual respect, bro.

Katie and Amanda talk about the garbage history of virginity, how Sabrina the Teenaged Witch is killing the game in entertainment-based sex-positivity, how to properly initiate sex and their own stories of giving and taking the V-card. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/50worstdates/support
