Shade and Fog

Christy and Emily are reunited, and we’re debriefing our listeners about how our lives have been since we last recorded! Is Emily still dating that guy? What are Christy’s REAL thoughts about the Carmel trip with a week gone by? This episode’s a little more deeper than past episodes, and we’re so excited to hear what you all think! Thanks so much for listening and we hope you enjoy

It's the episode you've all been waiting for. He flew out to SF, they met for the first time during an extravagant weekend getaway in Carmel, and they both lived to tell their story. Christy grills him about his first crush, what dating is like in NYC versus Austin, and what he reallyyy thought of this impromptu trip (and of her). LFG!!

Christy has two incredible and beautiful guest hosts: @kalenbiggs and @mirkatzzz of @karmayoga_sf join the S&F studio this week to get justice for their own fuckboi stories! Kalen begins with a horror story about the disintegration of her first app "relationship", and it aaallll started with a Venmo reminder. Miranda shares the one time a guy professed his love for her after only a few weeks of dating, and then GHOSTED her?! Shade and Fog is truly honored to be surrounded by such empowering and smart female guests (and listeners)! So grab a glass of rose and take a seat, because the shock value is HERE.

Emily is out of town, so Christy is joined by guest co-host Stef, a local Marina babe born and raised in the Bay Area. The girls talk about the how to meet men in the wild, why body language and good teeth matter, non-negotiables when it comes to dating (physically and mentally), some wild anecdotes about dating in SF, red flags, and an iiinteresting story about one of her exes.

Shade and Fog has reached a MILESTONE - Episode 10 is now upon us! It's been a while since we've recorded just the two of us, and we've got a looooot to catch you guys up on. We cover the recent dates we've been on, our thoughts and listener thoughts on past guests (the good, the bad, the controversial...), and have some JUICY stories involving fainting, hospitals, impromptu flights for a first date, and 5 star resorts.

If you haven't listened to Episode 2: "Inside the Mind of a SF Fuckboi", STOP what you're doing and listen to that before you turn this one on. We filmed Chad's Bachelorette audition video, and caught him redhanded being a player/fuckboi. Two months later - Chad's listened to the episode and is here to tell his side of the story! Also discussed: his #1 piece of dating advice for women in SF, whether he goes on dates with the intention of hooking up OR actually finding a relationship, how many girls he typically talks to at once, and what his idea of a "dream girl" really is. Christy and Emily also ask him point blank: Do you think you're a fuckboi?

Have you ever hooked up with a person one time, only to never see them again? Ever wish you could confront them and ask WTF their deal is? Christy finally gets her chance! Listen to her and Emily interview a SF fuckboi 6 months after the hookup. The girls take a good cop/bad cop approach (can you guess who the bad cop is

Christy and Emily are joined by Christy’s younger sister Audrey, an LA resident of 6 years; the girls kick off the episode by responding to J’s style of dating from last week's episode. Christy recaps a date with a man from out of town visiting San Francisco (spoiler: she was immediately turned off before even getting out of the Lyft). The girls finish the episode with a hilarious round of dealbreakers that left everyone in tears.

Shade and Fog has their first male guest on the podcast! Emily and Christy are QUAKED - Are LA fuckbois rolling out red carpets for their dates, while SF fuckbois are continuing to take us to grimy dive bars?! Grab yourself a white claw, take a seat, and get ENLIGHTENED because we are finally going into the mind of what dudes really want

Christy shoots her shot and sends an email to a man to ask him on a date....only to be ghosted...and then see him again in person. Emily goes on an iiiiiiinteresting first date with a "dating consultant." And the girls go through another round of dealbreakers and why the term 'fuckboi' should now be referred to as "thots".

Christy and Emily go through how their weeks have been - Emily’s creeping uncovers more than she bargained for after a first date, and Christy reveals her strong affinity for John Mayer and Maggie Rogers. They go on to discuss the pros and cons of actually meeting someone IRL (Spoiler: Christy was con’d). They also go through a game of Dealbreaker vs. Red Flag and uncover Christy’s VERY strong opinions on Groupons and concern for Emily’s armpits.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ecR68RsgJ_4

We are pumped to welcome Shelby who started San Francisco's popular instagram account @missedconnectionssf (think: Craigslist missed connections helping singles find their match, millennial edition). Shelby takes us into how the instagram account took off (including the success stories that have come out of it), her own success with app dating (thanks @bumble), and why women always have their green light on (a la Sex and the City).

We’ve all dealt with SF fuckbois - that shitty feeling where you KNOW you’re getting played. But what happens when you see all of it happening in front of your face? Emily and Christy are taking a no holds barred approach to a very personal episode that you will not want to miss!

Welcome to Episode 1 of Shade and Fog! Christy and Emily kick off the show by discussing everyones' least favorite activity - forcing yourself to go on a first date when you'd rather be at home watching Bravo.
