No Such Thing As Love

Jessie and Claire are really focused on their health and that's why they're having sex with strangers and considering smoking cigarettes. This week, the ladies talk about butt stuff, a slip of the finger, and wiping. Also, their latest FaceTime dates, seeing ghosts, the hottie Bachelor, bunnies, and their new favorite holiday that's right around the corner, National Nothing Day.

After a binge watch of Stylish with Jenna Lyons, the ladies are rebirthed like phoenix rising from the athleisure ashes. They are now fashion. And with their new prestige, they're ready to get back on the apps. Jessie leaves Mr Bagel behind as she bounces back with Bumble. Claire wades through Feeld for her next escapade after revisiting an old flame. They laugh about their flirting differences and long for the next time they can pretend they're going to go up to a guy in a bar.

That's a wrap on 2020 and maybe a wrap on Mr Bagel? Jessie shares the latest in her relationship status and Claire unwraps the heavy emotional discoveries she had while visiting the Covid capital, Tennessee. Jessie questions Claire's athletic ability and Claire warns Jessie to not put too many expectations on the coming year. They both share a few resolutions for 2021 and decide it's going to be a very good, not great, year. Setting some real expectations.

Reporting from the Hurt Hole, Jessie gives us as update after she was flying high with optimism last week. Claire's delicate constitution required she take a quick break from her walkabout. Then the ladies decide who and what from the year deserves lumps of coal or bunches of candy canes in their cool new clogs. Can you guess who gets the coal out of Taylor Swift, reality TV, and sexting? Listen to find out.

Occasionally we have to spiral to the bottom to see a new perspective and that's exactly what Jessie needed to do. Jessie and Claire talk about her effort to understand both sides of a situation and switching from dating mode to relationship mode. Claire shares an update on the first pitstop in her sexual walkabout. It felt like a time warp during their conversation and not because it flowed easily. Sometimes you have to put in the work for a semi-ok time.

Pack up your trail mix, water bottle, & condoms; it's time for a sexual walkabout! Claire decided she can't handle the emotional labor of dating right now but she does have some homework to do in the bedroom. The ladies get down and dirty about their intimate history and emotional detachment from doing the deed. Jessie is also figuring out how to manage disappointment while appreciating the growth it forces. And they wonder if a lot of their intimacy issues were caused from both of their mothers whisper spelling S.E.X. in their formative years.

Tis the season for meet cutes, grand gestures, and unrealistic expectations. The ladies are joined by Build Your Own Romantic Comedy author, Lana Schwartz to dish all about the genre we love and love to hate. But first, Jessie and Claire chat about being an angry host, dressing for yourself, and popping delusional dreams. Claire is also positive she has toxoplasmosis so she can't be held responsible for her poor decisions. 

Tis the season to be thankful. But before that, Jessie & Claire chat sweater collections, exes returning, being left behind, Mr Bagel’s prophecy text, and then 3 things they’re thankful for.

It may be a shock to know but other people's behavior is not a direct attack on you. We told you it was shocking! Even knowing that, it's hard to calm our triggers. Jessie and Claire discuss their triggers while figuring out communication styles, rewiring everyone's brains about period sex, trips down memory lane, borrowing pens, and relishing the sexy pick up.

Neither Jessie nor Claire like amusement parks so last week's rollercoaster exhausted them. Thankfully they had plenty of emotions to keep them busy. Claire gives an update on her new flirtation and turned up the volume on her old broken record. Jessie tossed in a few spirals last week to keep things fun with her new guy. They chat about meeting the parents, spare toothbrushes, and making a little effort to show you care. 

On the precipice of the election and distant from a euphoric weekend, Jessie and Claire have been feeling a little uncertain and out of sorts lately. But that doesn't stop them from talking about the most important subject, them. They look at past behaviors that can hurt their future relationships, dissect communication styles that cause spirals, and talk about how "disappointment is the penalty for hope but planning on failing isn't a better options."

Nothing like a little gluten and dairy to get you in the mood. Jessie shares all the juicy details of her recent weekend rendezvous with T-shirt. There was a marble sculpture, a Ghost pottery moment, and actual arm in arm strolling in public. Claire continues to have communication issues but immediately falls for a guy who likes Bell Biv Devoe. Pop culture nostalgia is Claire's kryptonite. Both of the ladies remind you to VOTE! Check Vote411.org for voting information in your area. 

There’s some pep in the ladies’ steps this week. Claire talks about her mingling adventure IRL with tall guys. Jessie gives a breakdown of her very slow paced yet too cute to handle dating. They also chat about the excitement you feel when a connection is made with pop culture common knowledge. And then question how they remain friends since the only pop culture cross over they have is SATC and Friends.

Watch out guys, Claire is back on the apps! But she may get overwhelmed and tired so have patience. Meanwhile, Jessie is going tshirt shopping and returning to her long time love, diners, with her “long distant” guy. Between medical grade ventilation and giggly park hangs, they know they’re going to have fun.

That crisp fall air gets Jessie and Claire in the mood. If the leaves are falling, so are they. Jessie’s latest date made her question her gut, Claire was finally able to hold court again, and they both don’t think you should bike to a date. You stink. They also revisit the old tradition of bobbing for apples where the apples represented crushes and the drowned rat look represented your dignity.

Jessie and Claire catch up after vacation and discuss walruses eating popsicles, surprise attractions, how tv killed the motivator, backwards hats, and blaming Seinfeld for poor dating. The ladies remind you to confirm your voting plan and check your local ballot! 

The ladies are on high alert after Claire spent hours binging on a few true crime docuseries (I'll be Gone in the Dark, Love Fraud, The Vow) and Jessie was catfished on her latest date. Then the ladies talk about playing with toxic fire and how shared concern can be just as triggering from a friend. 

Remember when flirting meant trying to make someone jealous by telling endless stories about other people liking you? It clearly was very successful. So thankfully Jessie’s most recent date used this #throwbackflirtation. Claire had a second date with her professional which sparks a conversation about boobs and dressing their bodies. Claire has also discovered a new diagnosis: Revenge Bedtime Procrastination. Now that her behavior has a name, she accepts her syndrome and asks that you respect her privacy in this time.

It’s Jessie’s birthday! The ladies reminisce about old birthday traditions (Who is going to carry me?!) before jumping in to chat about Jessie’s recent chatty dates and Claire’s latest paid professional who gently touched her. Sometimes it’s just easier to throw money at a problem. No judgement. We all have to get it where we can.

Jessie is redoing her 20s by driving to a date for the first time. Claire remembers a troubling BJ shot taken with a friend's mom. They both feel seen in an article by Tara Blair Bell, 6 Mistakes Single Women That Want a Relationship Make. 

Do you ask an online match their last name? Do you google your date before you meet? Do you also not trust anyone without a sweet tooth? After diving into this week's dates, Jessie and Claire celebrate their love and distaste for photos and explore self talk and body dysmorphia. With all the uncertainties these days, they decide to just focus on winning one day at a time. 

Heroes don't always wear capes. Nor do they live up to their name for long. Jessie and Claire talk about the latest with Jessie's good date, being discovered while covered in your own feces, when you get rejected from a make out, their hot takes on a listener's question, and trick to being the life of every college party. Two words: keg stand.

Jessie and Claire got vulnerable this week. One emotionally and one physically. They chat about making out in cars, parents driving you to a date, wearing thongs, and losing an FWB.

They may play parts in their profession but role playing in the bedroom is a different story. Jessie and Claire talk about a recent failed phone sex attempt, making eyes and snap judgements, erotic beard pics, Indian Matchmaker, and euthanized monkeys.

With Jessie back home and Claire’s family wanting her to move home, the ladies reflect on things they’ve learned, discuss what brings them joy these days, and of course, gab about the guy who recently ghosted. They sign off with a love letter to New York. While she’s tough as nails, she’s got the warmest hug of them all.

The ladies are back together again! During a quick trip back to the city, Jessie heads over to Claire's to chat about their recent escapades, a magic cardigan, flattery from old crushes, New York energy, hard pen15, deciding if you're a hockey goalie or a Walmart greeter, and being faced with how much alone time they're able to handle. 

Jessie went on a masked date. Claire falls even harder for a man on her TV. They both talk about the assumptions and judgement we make when meeting people which can be very dangerous. Then they answer a listener's email about a concern over personal challenges and how they play into a new relationship. 

What a year it is. Astrologer Vanessa Hardy is back to talk about the year that's been and will continue to be. Jessie and Claire find some reassurance in what this time means for them but understand the rollercoaster isn't over. Before they look to the stars, the ladies talk about new online matches and their new favorite reality show, Labor of Love.

Jessie and Claire's dating styles have reached extremes. From sexting with strangers to letting dust collect on viable matches. They also chat about relationship milestones like the first nighttime routine in front of them or the first time you shove a 12 inch sub down the hatch. Bottom line, Jessie and Claire are looking for someone who will celebrate their farts.

Jessie's busy swiping through the local inventory now that she's home and has found a few text buddies who are unapologetically themselves. Claire is learning to flirt with her mask on while feeling flirty and fun in the City. They also talk about getting svelte since they just applied for Love is Blind!

What happens when you want a friend to go on walks with and they turn into a sexter? You talk about it on your podcast. Jessie and Claire share their updates with exes & new interests, get into a heated discussion about the most annoying position, and beg a man named Matt, the lead in their COVID musical. 

In a time of restlessness and instability, we look for joy in low stakes affairs. Enter Tinder. What no one saw coming was an ex resurfacing. Jessie and Claire breakdown the relationship that was and what could be after a stroll around the neighborhood.

After literally running out of a live speed dating event last fall, Jessie & Claire decide to try one virtually. The ladies swap stories about their dates with the same 9 guys.

Strap in and listen as they read it aloud and respond in real time. But remember to keep your arms inside at all times.

Some magical nights need an update after the romance has settled. Since a few days had passed and sentiments had shifted, Jessie and Claire jump back on the mics to let you know the latest.

It was a Magical COVID Night. Both Jessie and Claire had dates. One FaceTiming and one strolling. Did they find love? Does one of them use “like?” Or did one of them attend a TED Talk disguised as a date?  

Jessie has become a Master Dater with her third virtual date but this one had an added in-person element! She shares all the juicy details and the ladies talk about dating in this new world. Claire also finds out the harsh truth that her FaceTime is WAY too close.

Jessie & Claire share their updates from a toxic ex and a shower crush as well as their recommendations for some good TV sex scenes if you’re in the mood. Then the ladies are joined by friend Myra Withers Pitts who tells the heartening tale of meeting her “cat daddy” husband. They texted for a full year before even meeting! Her story inspired the ladies to keep messaging on the apps even though they can’t meet in person any time soon. They’ll at least have the TV sex scenes to return to after a good long distant conversation. 

Jessie and Claire have been taking love classes and they’re here to drop some knowledge. Their classroom? The Lifetime TV show, Married at First Sight. They discuss some of the behaviors and communication styles they identify with and are terribly confused by. People keeping score in fights, crying wolf with compliments, sexual immaturity, daddy daughter issues, and couple with a 17 inch height difference. Claire is livid.

Jessie is hot off a FaceTime date and Claire’s is on Hinge. The ladies are back!

Jessie and Claire swap quarantine stories about a FaceTime date, quickie cuffs, braless late night escapes, and weeping all the way down the zipline.

Hypothetically speaking, Jessie and Claire know all the answers to love’s questions. And they prove it on this week’s quarantine episode where they look back on some of Carrie’s greatest questions from Sex and the City. Along the way, they tell some old stories about cheating, dates with sugar daddies, and coming to terms with superficiality. All while looking like filth but thankfully for them this is not a visual medium. *thanks for sticking with us while we get this remote audio sorted out!

Jessie and Claire hunker down for another week in quarantine and revisit some old dates they’d like to redo and think about the guys that got away. While they’re waiting to make new memories, nothing beats reminiscing about eager oral, insane love letters, and when guys told you they liked you.  *Apologies but there’s some fuzz from 15-27min in! Quarantine problems!

Jessie and Claire risked their anxiety & ‘Rona fears to hang together and chat about how they’re feeling. They discussed what it means to date now, wanting to be a “we,” video speed dating, and the hottest commodity around, TOILET PAPER! Stay safe and wash those hands!

Jessie and Claire are joined by one of their best gal pals, Jules Mahon, to gab all about her exciting dating life and new relationship.

It’s time for another live double blind date but the ladies raised the stakes. This one is in a panic room.

Listen from pre to post date with no interruptions as Jessie & Claire chat with John & Sean about first crushes, pet peeves, turn ons, & fighting styles. Can you feel if sparks were flying? Or is the terror of the panic room? 

The ladies have become avid users of Hinge so they were absolutely elated when they got a chance to sit down with the Head of Customer Experience at Hinge, Matt Cutler.

They’re later joined by Keith Malley (Keith and The Girl). Keith has figured out love but has some opinions on their profiles and dating ways.

What a year it’s already been! Jessie and Claire revisit their great New Years Eve and Jessie talks about a second date with an unlikely suitor. Spoiler, it didn’t go great. They're later joined by sex coach, Cara Kovacs who breaks down pussy power, sexual numbness, worthiness & safety, attachment styles, and how weird it can be to date in her profession. The ladies join Cara's vow to end ghosting culture and urge everyone to follow. And to turn up Lizzo.  

Raise a glass and have some laughs as Jessie and Claire reminisce on the last year of bad dates and life lessons. They talk about being catfished, turned off by an aggressive heckler, reminded of how bad the bad guy was, and taught sex is over when he finishes.

Jessie & Claire are optimistic about the year ahead but know they’ll still have plenty of missteps to bring the laughs.

Jessie & Claire have been on some dates (yes! plural!) and are ready to dish. Jessie’s date was confident and successful yet couldn’t seal the deal with the weak landing. Claire had the most honest discussion about her life goals on a second date which led to the bedroom pretty quick. What else do you do after realizing you don’t want the same thing? Makeout! The ladies then get into a discussion about communication. When do you  call BS and when do you acknowledge people just have different styles?
