Crying In Public

While it’s been two months exactly since the girls last posted a full length episode due to preparation for their second season, they couldn’t stay away from you all for too long! This week the girls discuss something we’ve all come to know too well these last couple of months: feeling burnt out. The stress we’ve all been feeling due to the pandemic and the subsequent isolation, the reality of our college and workforce experiences being dramatically altered, and the loss of those close to us has affected everything from our mental health, friendships, relationships, to our general well-being. The girls are here to cheer you up with an episode about how they’ve been dealing with the isolation, as well as their coping methods in dealing with burn-out. Listen along for all the silliness, laughter, and all around ridiculousness the girls have missed posting. They also *finally* announce the news they’ve been teasing for way too long and a few life updates!

Episode 19: In the season one of Crying in Public, the girls conclude their first set of episodes by aiming to discuss the very thing that brought them together: friendship. In the same style as their original wine nights, the girls brought questions about what they look for in friends, how their roles in their friendships and relationships differ, how to meet friends in college, and more. In the true fashion of Crying in Public, the girls end up answering the questions for all of ten minutes and then roasting each other for the remaining hour of the episode. Celebrate with us as we wrap up our first season together! Laters, baby.

Episode 18: Everyone knows the ladies of Crying in Public love to psychoanalyze the male race on a daily basis in an attempt to figure out what in the world is going on in their minds and why they all act like they do. For the first time we have come to a conclusion: women are generally socialized to aspire to marriage, while men are socialized to aspire to live the “bachelor” life. This comes to light when the not-so-fun conversation of “intentions” comes up after a few weeks or months of seeing someone. On this week’s episode, each host discusses how her upbringing and experience with relationships in the past affects their various views of love and dating, and explore questions they’ve been considering in their personal love lives over the past few months. Why is our generation so afraid of commitment? Is there really such a thing as the time “being right”? Listen along as we attempt to find a semblance of a solution to the relationship issues affecting our generation.

Episode 16: This week’s episode is full of firsts for Crying in Public. It’s the first episode recorded with the girls all back in New York City together. It’s the first episode with a male guest (I know, they’re shocked too). Last, but certainly not least, they have their first advice corner with questions submitted from fans. They discuss everything from how to approach taking a break in a relationship, what it means when “the time isn’t right,” to how to know if a guy is into you. With their good friend and certified Good Guy™,” Finn Kreidler, guest starring on the show, they finally get to pick apart the male brain and ask the questions we’ve all been dying to know the answer to. Sit back, grab some popcorn, and enjoy the show, because this episode is a goodie.

Episode 14: In a society consumed with and driven by social media and influencer culture, have you ever stopped to think “What even is an influencer?” In this episode, they do absolutely nothing to answer this question or offer any beneficial advice regarding the topic. However, they do breakdown both the positives and negatives of living within an influencer society, and the effect that the toxicity has on them. Beyond discussing their definition of what an influencer is, they dive deeper into the lack of representation in social media, the glorification of surgery/unnatural beauty standards, the delight and danger of FaceTune, that weird accent that all girls with lip fillers have, and our confusion as to why certain people are famous in the first place (we’re looking at you, Tik Tok).

Episode 13: In this week’s juicy, scandalous episode, the girls discuss and rank the five types of parties you’re bound to come across while being young and in New York. From frat parties to kickbacks to art kid parties (complete with Alice in Wonderland porn projected on the walls), you’re always in for an interesting night in the city. They also finally answer the question they get the most from friends and fans alike: what are the fraternities at NYU like? Here come the nitty, gritty details about every fraternity on campus, complete with nicknames and all. From overnight raves ending in concussions to Halloween at the Playboy Mansion, listen along to hear our craziest partying stories from our years in NYC.

Episode 12: In part 2 of our First Move series, the girls finally get to discuss their favorite topic: sex. Welcome to Sex Education 101 with Crying in Public, and all the tips, tricks, and warnings they wish they knew before entering college. From how to transfer bases (why do people compare sex to baseball?) and their go-to moves to let their partner know they are ready to bump things to the next level. From breaking down the stigma around women speaking out about sex or being empowered by what they do, or don’t do, with their bodies, to discussing their horror stories with sex education in high school, they have their raunchiest, yet most informative episode to date. Grab a seat and take notes, because class is in session.

Episode 9: You know that feeling when you’re really into someone, then they do something so small that completely changes your interest in them? Lo and behold, this week the girls discuss their biggest turn-offs when it comes to dating apps, hooking up, and relationships. From guys posting pictures with their exes on their Tinder profiles, to being older than 25 and still using Axe as a 'cologne', to being obsessed with your friends, the girls discuss all the very little (and very big) things their past flings have done to make them axe the relationship. Dear male listeners, you may want to pay close attention to this one, and take some notes.

Episode 8: As the girls finally head back to the City after a very, very, long tenure apart in their hometowns due to the pandemic, the girls reflect on how their sex lives changed while being home, and how it highlighted the big differences between hookup culture in high school or their hometown versus in college. They discuss everything from slut shaming, to changing standards, to how the kind of high-school you went to definitely dictated the kind of hoe you will be in college. Because hookup culture is so prevalent in our generation, especially in NYC, the girls dish out their best advice as to how to navigate it (the best that one can). Most importantly, they finally tackle the most important piece of advice they can give: never, (and they mean never), hook up with a “Vineyard Vines and Sperrys” type of boy.

Episode 7: This week, the girls get down to business and finally discuss the unwritten commandments every girl group is ruled by: girl code. From discussing the way you should behave around girls you don’t know, to being a home-wrecker, to the rules of Plan B, and ditching your friends in a bar, no topic goes untouched in this episode. Listen to find out the big DOs and DONTs of female friendships while hearing some hilarious anecdotal stories along the way.

Episode 5: Just in time for the Fourth of July, the girls dedicate this episode to explaining the hottest thing a potential significant other can do...vote. They go into detail about not only the importance of voting and becoming involved in political discourse, but also how attractive it is for your boo to care about what’s happening in the country too (whew!). They outline ways and resources to get involved, get educated, and get registered to vote in your respective city and state. Along with debating the divisiveness of politics today, they describe their personal annoyances with social media’s role in political discourse within our generation. Last but not least, they give advice for international students in the US as to how they can get involved in politics despite not being able to vote, and why they should. Remember: go register to vote, and then vote!

Episode 4: In this week’s episode, the girls discuss their (unrealistic) expectations, versus the realities, when first moving to New York based off of what they saw in TV shows (we are looking at you Sex and The City and Gossip Girl), rom-com movies, and music. Like how is Dan Humphrey the “poor” character in Gossip Girl, but has a 2 million dollar loft in Williamsburg? Why aren’t these girls dating a hotel tycoon yet or regularly vacationing in the Hamptons? They discuss their favorite, and not-so-favorite, parts of NYC that make New York, New York in this rather complicated love letter to the City. From their favorite celebrity-run in stories, to their first time seeing rats, the girls of Crying in Public paint the bare picture of what it’s actually like to live in New York City in the 21st century.

Episode 3: We all know that getting over an ex can be one of the most draining and difficult processes a girl can go through, but throw in Tinder, social media, Snapchat scores, and a quarantine, and you have the recipe for a perfect storm. Today the girls outline the five-step program they created to help you get over an old fling (or at least attempt to). Is this program full-proof? Are they really qualified to be giving advice on getting over exes? Absolutely not, but they’re going to do it anyway.
