Yu Up? with Rachel Yu

Susie joins Rachel for a deeply unwell debate about whether you should be friends with your ex, whether situationships are just mutual delusion, and why getting cheated on might actually be… a little fun. They unpack emotional power dynamics, blocking someone but secretly wanting them to stalk you, forgiving men too easily, and the toxic thrill of knowing you could ruin his next relationship (but choosing not to, because you’re “a good person”).They spiral into forehead kisses in casual situationships (illegal), commitment issues disguised as kindness, why busy is hot but sweet isn’t, and how being a comedian might be the ultimate cock block. Are they secure? Avoidant? Anxious? Both? Neither? They don’t know — but they are hot, healing, and absolutely not over it.--Follow the host Rachel Yu on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Susan Cavalcanti on Instagram Follow the show on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠

Liz joins Rachel with a wildly patriotic dating strategy: straight girlies should date moderate men on Hinge and convert them “for the good of the country.” What starts as a bit turns into a chaotic debate about manipulation as civic duty, alpha vs. handyman men, why no one in New York stands up on the subway, and whether picking someone up from the airport is the ultimate green flag. They also unpack bridesmaid cult economics, bachelor party boot camps, and the terrifying rise of men who make personal dating websites with their net worth listed.Then things take a sharp left into love bombing, situationships, and falling in love fast and hard. Liz tells the full rom-com story of meeting a 6'4 Greek improv god, kissing before speaking, and raising her romantic standards forever. They talk about raising your bar, dating across cultures, whether opposites attract or exhaust, and why hot girls absolutely have stuffed animals on their beds. Political, emotional, delusional, and deeply sincere — just another night at the slumber party.--Follow the host Rachel Yu on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Liz Coin on InstagramFollow the show on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠

Arjun joins Rachel with a hot take that immediately divides the room: if you’ve been on fewer than four dates and you’re not interested, just ghost. No “I’m not feeling it,” no delayed closure, no fake emotional maturity three days later. They break down why waiting is worse than silence, how everyone mentally processes rejection before it even happens, and why a late “kind” text actually hurts more than being ignored.From there, the conversation spirals into dating timelines, texting anxiety, age gaps, New York dating math, hot people ecosystems, and why “it’s not you, it’s me” is the biggest lie in human history. They debate shallow honesty, lying to protect feelings, Android’s unhinged follow-up reminders, and the radical belief that if someone is emotionally mature enough to reject you properly… you would’ve been perfect together. Chaotic, validating, and painfully real — like group therapy, but meaner and funnier.--Follow the host Rachel Yu on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Arjun Banerjee on InstagramFollow the show on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠

Charles joins Rachel with a simple but controversial thesis: gay people deserve the right to be famous — especially him. From there, the conversation spirals into queer celebrity entitlement, “platinum star gay” lore, cooties, vaginal terror, and whether straight people should even be allowed privacy. They unpack fame as a sexuality, queer fishing, gold vs. platinum stars, and why not wanting fame might actually mean you’re straight.Somehow, this turns into a surprisingly deep conversation about surrogacy, frozen embryos, ethical science, and the future of making gay babies in labs. Along the way: barbershop survival tactics, lying to straight men, learning Mandarin and Russian curse words, foot fetishes on Grindr, comedy industry delusion, manifesting success, and a legally binding blood pact to make each other famous. Chaotic, sincere, unhinged — and very gay.--Follow the host Rachel Yu on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Charles Happel on InstagramFollow the show on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠

Sarah joins Rachel with an immediately unhinged hot take: men should be attracted to armpit hair and nipple hair — the longer, the better. What starts as a body-hair manifesto spirals into ponies vs. stallions, dominance logic, puberty trauma, ariolas (Saturn rings), and whether shaving nipple hair is a crime against nature. There’s also an unexpected detour into astrology, pregnancy paranoia, Gen Z aging anxiety, and the radical act of eating oatmeal at night.The episode then swerves hard into culture, race, and dating politics. They unpack Asian identity beyond East Asia, porn categories vs. real people, “weebs,” fetish vs. familiarity, Republican men with Asian obsessions, and why being called a “good listener” on a date is actually an insult. Along the way: stolen packages, USPS conspiracies, Chinese police efficiency, databases, dating apps as surveillance, capitalism ruining pajamas, and the conclusion that the solution to everything is simple — stop being a pony, grow thick skin, and be a stallion.--Follow the host Rachel Yu on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Sarah Thomas on Instagram and TikTokFollow the show on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠

Talia joins Rachel with a correct and controversial take: men should be way more embarrassed during sex. They get into why women overthink everything while men bring unchecked confidence into the bedroom, why teaching grown men basic anatomy kills the vibe, and why “trying your best” is not enough when Google exists. Books like She Comes First and Becoming Cliterate make an appearance, as does the universal experience of pretending something feels good when it absolutely does not.The conversation spirals into insecurity vs. horniness, why women protect men too much, mid men dating women who are objectively out of their league, and the exhausting mental math women do during sex. From vibrators and “whiskey dick” to period underwear, Facebook Marketplace foot creeps, being lowballed for feet pics, gay male beauty standards, Wicked-induced body discourse, and why female friendships are the most emotionally advanced thing on earth — this episode is chaotic, honest, horny, and deeply woman-core.--Follow the host Rachel Yu on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow the show on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠

Charlotte joins Rachel for a very honest, very Gen Z debate about polyamory, monogamy, and the pressure to be “cool” in dating. They unpack why not everyone is meant to be poly, why jealousy TikToks feel like red flags instead of growth, and why having panic attacks every time your partner goes on a date might be a sign — and that sign is monogamy.The conversation spirals into first-date etiquette, whether honesty is overrated, why you don’t need to explain every breakup in detail, and the quiet power of euphemisms. They talk about manually selecting crushes, realizing you’re gay by accident, height lies on dating apps, housing markets ruining relationships, roommate politics, conflict avoidance, and the radical idea that you don’t need to force yourself into a relationship structure just to seem evolved.--Follow the host Rachel Yu on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Charlotte Polk on InstagramFollow the show on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠

Rachel and Piyali spiral through modern dating, technology, and the unsettling realization that AI might be easier to deal with than men. They talk about “prompt engineering” as emotional labor, why dating apps bring out the worst personalities, and how men can go from “good morning beautiful” to absolute chaos in one missed text.They also unpack getting banned from dating apps for being too nice, the humbling experience of Bumble BFF, why hot girls are allowed to be crazy, and the uncomfortable truth that height, money, and muscles won’t emotionally support you. The episode closes on beauty standards, fake boobs vs. AI actresses, and why women are judged no matter what — while men somehow keep failing upward.Chaotic, self-aware, and painfully current.--Follow the host Rachel Yu on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Piyali Syam on Instagram and TikTokFollow the show on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠

Amanda joins Rachel after they meet in peak New York fashion — in full costume on the subway at 5 a.m. after an absurdly good Halloween party. Their conversation quickly moves into why sex is easy but real intimacy feels terrifying, and how hookup culture often replaces presence with performance. They talk about eye contact during sex, emotional avoidance, and the realization that you can be physically close without actually being seen.Amanda shares her path through personal development, somatic work, festivals, psychedelics, and becoming an “intentional party girl,” while Rachel reflects on connection, sobriety-curiosity, and what intimacy really means. The episode weaves through Burning Man, ego death, bad trips, and breathwork — landing on the idea that intimacy isn’t about access, it’s about presence.--Follow the host Rachel Yu on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Amanda Laurena on Instagram Follow Amandafest Podcast on Instagram and SpotifyFollow the show on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠

Harkness joins Rachel to explain why being constantly surrounded by hot, drunk, horny people is exactly why he’ll never cheat on his wife. They unpack male insecurity, nightlife psychology, DJ pedestal power, and the theory that men cheat not because they’re horny — but because they’re terrified they “don’t have it anymore.”The conversation spirals into patriarchy as a long con, monogamy as a byproduct of capitalism, bisexual lore, being the “last man before lesbianism,” why women can have multiple orgasms, and why DJs, bartenders, and men on pedestals feel powerful enough to behave badly. There’s also a surprisingly sincere love story, a defense of mansplaining as foreplay, feng shui manifesting, and the hot take that monogamy isn’t natural — it’s just his favorite k*nk.--Follow the host Rachel Yu on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Harkness Granger on InstagramThe Artist Advisory Hotline Podcast Follow the show on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠

Annie joins Rachel to talk about how she accidentally became a NYC Midtown facial spa owner after her mom casually said, “I found a place,” and signed a lease the next day. They get into facials, injections, hiring 19-year-old nail prodigies, and the fact that her mom literally injects her own face — the ultimate trust signal in beauty services.They also spiral into dating histories (Asian → Black → Hispanic → White men pipeline), the sociology of white-man boyfriends, the “Asian woman as tech-bro accessory” memes, and the Oxford study that no one can cite correctly.Annie drops her hot take: marriage should come with a contract expiration date — like a job — complete with performance reviews. They unpack aging, why Asian women supposedly don’t age (spoiler: it’s genes + happiness + tretinoin), and whether facials or nails matter more when you’re broke but want to feel hot.A chaotic, wholesome, surprisingly philosophical episode about beauty, business, and bad ex-boyfriends.--Follow the host Rachel Yu on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow the show on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠

Alexa believes men should stop talking for a full week the moment they realize they like you — because that's when they start saying the dumbest things. She and Rachel spiral from “shoes off in bed” to why feet are disgusting (and yes, the socks on or off during s*x debate made a comeback).They also rename open mics after girl names (“Open Michelle” supremacy), unpack why girly comedy spaces are better than straight-man mics. There is also an accidental Trump detour, a national-anthem karaoke moment, and a collective agreement that women should lie more and men should talk less.--Follow the host Rachel Yu on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Alexa Springman on InstagramFollow the show on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠

Being a funny woman should be hot, but somehow it’s a dating liability. Rachel and Rania dig into why straight men crumble the second a woman is funnier than they are. They talk insecure masculinity, comedy power dynamics, why men gain desirability from humor while women lose it, and why female comics feel pressured to dress down just to be taken seriously.They break down the open-mic ecosystem, ugly male comics with supermodel girlfriends, and why women are still expected to laugh at men’s jokes even when they’re painfully unfunny. The episode spirals into queer f*ckboy confessions, big-dick energy hypotheticals and childhood weirdness. This episode is chaotic, honest, and way too relatable especially if you are a woman in the show biz.--Follow the host Rachel Yu on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Rania Hannan on InstagramFollow the show on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠

Rachel and Hayley question if they have their lives together while everyone around them is getting married, pregnant, or asleep by 7pm. Expect debates on motherhood, dating comedians, sleep debt, and why New York makes aging feel optional. Also: a camera overheats from pure hotness, and Rachel admits to drunk-DM’ing celebrities instead of exes. Chaos, comfort, and zero life advice you should follow.--Follow the host Rachel Yu on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Hayley Blanding on Instagram Follow the show on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok

Minji and Rachel discover they might share a mutual curiosity about having a threesome — and yes, the sexual tension was very real. Minji talks about the time she slept with a woman who faked an orgasm, which left her deeply traumatized. They dive into Korean and Chinese culture — including the fact that they’ve both eaten dog — and had a friendly debate on whether it’s Lunar New Year or Chinese New Year. Dating comedians also makes an appearance, because of course it does.Rachel edited the podcast so the spicy stuff comes first. It was originally at the end, but she knew you’d lose your mind if you had to wait.--Follow the host Rachel Yu on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Minji Ko on InstagramFollow the show on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠TikTok

Aislinn argues that people should be naked more often and shares her experience performing at a naked comedy show, while Rachel talks about her time as a nude figure drawing model. Naturally, this leads to a deep (and slightly terrifying) dive into their adventures with hair removal — from Aislinn having to spread her own cheeks mid-appointment to Rachel translating for her friend after the technician quit on the spot because there was “too much hair.”It’s also, shockingly, the most intellectual episode yet — filled with art history references that prove they’re not just hot girls with opinions… they’re poor, overeducated snobs.--Follow the host Rachel Yu on ⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠, and ⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Aislinn Janek on Instagram and check our her art Follow the show on ⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠TikTok

Lucie and Rachel dive into the chaos of love in your 20s — from not being ready for babies (or baby weight) to the undeniable power of pretty privilege. Both have had men tell them their beauty is “worth dying for” . The conversation then spirals into all the ways they’ve been scammed — out of time, nudes, money, and yes… love. Their scammer hall of fame includes a "comedy booker", a horny "casting director", a shady ticket reseller, and, of course, an OnlyFans model. Because in this economy, romance is a scam.--Follow the host Rachel Yu on ⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠, and ⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠Follow Lucie Fleming on InstagramFollow the show on ⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠ and ⁠TikTok

In this spooky season, Alexa has a ghost in her apartment — and according to her medium, she jumped off Alexa's building because her boyfriend cheated on her. Alexa and Rachel debate whether socks should stay on during sex, since some people claim wearing them can lead to better orgasms.

As two Chinese women born and raised in China, Victoria and Rachel can’t help but wonder — do guys in the U.S. actually like them, or do they just have an Asian fetish? Somewhere between unpacking beauty standards and identity crises, Rachel admits she might secretly want to be a white woman (?!), and Victoria shares dating stories so wild it’ll make you rethink dating altogether.

As a proud Texan, Kate believes that if God exists, He rewards you with a rent-stabilized apartment in Greenwich Village. she and Rachel cover everything — from the horrors of moving in with a man (ew) to gossiping about someone Rachel is definitely not in love with, to messy New York dating stories, and even why people seriously need to know more about the world (especially China). It’s pure chaos in the best way — every moment’s a gem, but only those with a little ADD can truly keep up.--Follow Kate Robards on Instagram, Catch her live at the Oak City Festival in Raleigh, NC, October 15–19, 2025!
