The Thirteenth One- Ft. Erika

Don't be afraid to open this lucky episode. Wife, Mother, Feminist, Amateur baker. There are many sides to this week's guest as for the first time we get to hear from the side of a significant other of a previous guest. Tune in as things get real as Erika discusses raising daughters in today's age, how therapy has helped save her and her marriage, and finally what was going on her side of the story of how she and Chris got together. This is one of my favorite episodes so far, as Erika opens up about some raw and real truths that I think everyone can learn stuff. Plus she makes a pitch for why someone should date me, so go listen!

The Twelfth One- Ft. Gabby

“It wasn’t about [the right] time, it was about making a choice... and now that I am married, I am really glad that I made that choice!” Another old friend steps up to the mic in this episode as Gabby shares what Mormon dating culture is like, the 3 P’s of Dating, why she doesn’t believe in “the One,” and why marriage is ultimately about learning that it’s not about yourself. Plus bonus material, we recount the details of our epic high school prank war, which includes stolen cars, stolen phones, and an assistant principal! Hit play right away!!

The Eleventh One- Ft. Matt

"You're all I ever wanted. You're all I ever needed. So tell me what to do now 'cause I want you back." -Joey Fatone of *NSYNC. These lyrics are the only thing that come to mind when I think about this episode and the joy it brings me.  Matt has long been one of my favorite persons and personal influences in so many ways. And although he's not currently looking for a romantic relationship (maybe seminary?) We still have a great time as he shares stories of taking dates to the latest Madea movie, awkward flirting, and why a girls' friends can be one of the biggest dealbreakers. Get ready for what can only be described as the most random episode of dealbreakers to date.

The Tenth One- Ft. Clare

If you knew that your next meal would be your last, what would you want it to be? Choose wisely because your answer to that question could be the key to the heart of this week's guest. Be sure to check out my conversation with Clare as we discuss relationship stories and dating app profiles, argue over the pronunciation of "extraordinary," and dive deeper into her claim that "dating is like trying on clothes." This is an episode you're gonna want to swipe right on!

The Ninth One- Ft. Fr. Bryan

Give a priest some bread and wine, and he'll give you the Body and Blood of Christ. BUT, give a priest some Mezcal and beer, and he'll give you over an hour of great conversation. Tune in to this week's episode when newly ordained Fr. Bryan and Austin discuss the connections of the priesthood and marriage, the vow of celibacy, country music, and whether or not a priest can have any say about relationships whatsoever. A new perspective on romantic and eternal relationships.
