  • S3 Ep. 11 - Over-Texted And Underwhelmed: Navigating Modern Dating Disasters
    Nov 26 2024

    Dating in the digital age is messy, hilarious, and sometimes downright awkward—and this episode of Friends Without Benefits delivers all the juicy details. Dale’s dating life takes center stage as he wrestles with an overzealous texter who’s sending his ick meter into overdrive. Rachel chimes in with her trademark wit, dissecting everything from holiday dating pressures to the pitfalls of premature nicknames. Are constant updates a sign of excitement or a fast track to a dead end?

    The conversation heats up as the hosts explore the dos and don’ts of romantic vulnerability, the polarizing world of lingerie, and why a partner laughing at your sexy effort deserves a timeout. Whether you’re single, dating, or just here for the laughs, this one’s for you!

    Nov 19 2024

    Broadcasting from a breathtaking $14.5M estate at 821 Solar Isle Drive, we bring you an episode full of luxury and laughs. As we soak in the setting (and the Big Dock Energy), we swap hilarious tales of our most ridiculous past jobs (ever been a mannequin or a coffin scare actor?), reflect on quirky habits, and debate the best and most “cancel-worthy” songs of all time.

    We also tackle modern hustle culture, share the chaos of juggling three events in one day, and shout out our amazing listeners. Don’t miss this blend of relatable humor, nostalgic music vibes, and a touch of bougie flair—plus, follow us on Instagram @friendswithoutbenefitspod
