Annie and Jess start the show talking about the British Bake Off and the fuel shortage that actually is not a fuel shortage. Then, they welcome their guest “Polly” to talk about polyamory! She goes way deep talking about how she met her partners, how she handles jealousy and setting boundaries in her partnerships, the difference between monogamy and polyamory, some challenges that have come up, and the important things to know if you are thinking about opening up your relationship.

In This Episode You’ll Hear About:

• An update on the lovely yet odd lady in the pool, and a new dude that needs to stay in his own lane.
• Remember at the beginning of the pandemic when we went crazy over toilet paper? That was weird.
• Polly believes that she gets more fulfillment out of life with different partners meeting different needs, instead of depending on just one person to try and meet all of them.
• Polly explains how she met all of her current partners and the different dynamics between them.
• What is the difference between polyamory and monogamy, and polyamory and fetish or swinging parties?
• The importance of openness and honesty with your partners if you are considering being poly.
• Why bringing in a third person just to spice up your relationship may not be the right idea.
• Want to hear more about Polly’s fetishes and kinks? Make sure you tune back in just a few weeks in January!

The Great British Bake Off 

90 Day Fiance 

Annie and Jess kick off this week talking about a weird dream including breastfeeding your dogs, and why we just don’t need to wear pants. Then Jess explains how she is more of a social moth than a butterfly, and they get ready to take a very quick but well-needed break. Then, they get into the topic of the week: contraception. They give their personal experiences, what to know when finding one right for you, and the side effects they have endured.

In This Episode You’ll Hear About:

• Annie and Jess know they aren’t doctors! They are just sharing from their own personal experiences and hopefully entertaining you in the process.
• Men wince at the thought of getting snipped, but how bad is it compared to being on medication in your early teens?
• Birth control can have side effects that we are ashamed to talk about, but this is a safe space here.
• What birth control have Annie and Jess used? Are they on any now?
• How to give yourself a breast exam. It’s easy, safe, and part of a true self-care routine.

How Birth Control Changes Everything 

Jess swears off alcohol (for now), and Annie gets a brand new car! Then, the ladies talk about mood swings, PMT, and how to get others to take you seriously when you’re always joking. They check the DM slides and answer some questions about drunk antics, dirty dates, and clitoral erections. 

In This Episode You’ll Hear About:

• Annie gets her first brand new car! Even with a heated steering wheel! 
• If you are a man or partner of someone that menstruates, it may not make sense, but know that the whole process can be very annoying and uncomfortable. Thank you for your empathy. 
• Annie and Jess talk about how much hormonal changes and PMT can affect the way we feel, think, and act. 
• A DM slides about a missing condom, and a pube covered pizza box. 
• What are the grossest things you’ve ever discovered dating someone? 
• Yes, clitoral erections are a thing. 
• Annie and Jess talk about their favorite way to orgasm, and read a listener story about their forehead being forever changed.
