Sup kids, this week the pod is back with a chat about sexually transmitted diseases, infections and other various ailments, the stigma around them and that Katie really wants a porno robe to wear to her Zoom birthday party. In a world that is doing nothing but talking about one particular virus, we thought we'd take this time to teach about some other far more long-standing and honestly more common ones. These viruses and conditions range from very curable, to treatable to at least manageable. There are some personal tales in here because, you know, having these issues is not uncommon. Getting an illness from another human, as we are now very aware, is very easy. Having that illness affect your person-bits is really what causes the stigma these diseases, their education and their treatment face. So hopefully this makes things a little less weird the next time you or someone you know feels a little itching or burning.

47: Sex on the First Date (00:48:18)
We know you can't leave your house right now but we're pretending that you can for 35 minutes and then following it up with Dua Lipa level new rules on how to handle your first post-quarantine first date, we swear. Following up from the Taboos episode, someone reached out specifically for the hosts to talk about sex on the first date. Why is it such a THING? Why does it have to be a THING? And that's a great question and we couldn't really find a direct historical answer, but we have thoughts all the same. At the end of the day, be a slut and do whatever you want. Do what makes you feel good and remember sex is not a tool to get someone to stay or like you or whatever. Don't do that. Gross. That said, the second you get out of quarantine, everyone gets a free pass to get with one majorly regrettable person. That's the new rule. We make those rules.

46: Dating Taboos (Be A Slut Do Whatever You Want) (00:56:35)
There are a lot of "should I say this" or "should I do this" in dating. It feels often like a if you don't fit the mold, the system won't work for you. Frankly, that's trash and we don't care. So on this week's pod we're talking about dating taboos, why they happen, some common issues (body hair and period sex, BABYYYY) and how certain taboos can be good for you. Because guess what? Shaving your legs has a long and storied history of being sexist. The brigade against period sex does too. So this week, Amanda breaks down some BS on razors and why that's trash, Katie tells a tale of period sex in a frat house (if you can guess which one, you get a prize!!!) and basically the moral of the story is be a slut, do whatever you want.

45: How Do You Social Distance (And Date)? (00:59:17)
Whew. It's been a time, right? You're cozy in your house and hopefully not overwhelming the American hospital system, right? You're social distancing, right? You know what that means, right? Well honestly, do you? If you're feeling freaked by the sheer amount of direction you've been given on doing your part to save humanity, this is your opportunity to sit back, relax, laugh gratuitously at our jokes and learn what you need to know PLUS how to date while you do the thing. Staying six feet away from someone is easy when you have the wonders of the internet at your disposal - between texting, calling, videos, card games, all of Netflix - you're really fine. We're just here to remind you.

44: Should I Quarantine With My Significant Other? (00:48:36)
It's week two for the hosts of social distancing and formal quarantining. It sucks. We hate it here. But alas, this week we discuss the pros and cons of quarantining with bae versus going it alone like the strong independent woman (or non-woman) you are. Between the space constraints, the working from home, the communication needed - everything is certainly different now and the hosts are handling it differently themselves. Featuring some dragging of Rolling Stone journalism, Amanda shopping for a sweatsuit, Katie's deep, deep loneliness and some great stories of quarantine peril from our new favorite www.thesocialdistanceproject.org, we will reassure you that it's okay to do whatever you want, but also everyone is struggling with this new reality and its okay.

43: A Dictionary of Dating Terms for Distraction (00:52:27)
Are you stuck inside right now? Maybe being told to involuntarily be less social? Weird stuff. Almost as weird as this week's episode which features: an hour of Coronavirus-free content, delicate quoting of Smash Mouth, a call from Amanda's (dead) grandpa, hardcore name dropping/bleeping-out, dragging Katie for being the most humble and modest woman to ever live, lots of nonsense dating terms and other associated goofs. It's a weird, weird time to be alive right now and we're just trying to give you an hour of your day that's weird in other ways. Enjoy! Share! Love us!

42: What To Do About Cheating (01:10:02)
What to do about cheating... and a million other tangents. We're talking why people cheat, and embarrassing sex mishaps, we're discussing poor excuses for cheating, and personality tests, and we've even got what to do if you know someone is cheating... and our endorsement for the Democratic nominee. Honestly, this episode has it all. Because it's pretty rare to get through your dating life, especially early on, without seeing cheating, being cheated on or even being the cheater. It's not a black and white situation, there are legitimate reasons it happens and while playing around with other people's feelings is bad, it's worth diving into more - so go ahead and press play.

41: Gender Roles. That's The Joke. (00:53:25)
Hello ladies, gentlemen and everyone in-between, around or non-conforming because gender roles are unnecessary and stupid! This is the 50 Worst Dates podcast where one hour of riffing, definitions, Psych Today articles and awkwardly cut portions of the hosts dishing on big life drama will eradicate gender roles. What does that mean? Well you can listen and find out. Or actually, here it is. A gender role is the role or behavior learned by a person as appropriate to their gender, determined by the prevailing cultural norms. Meaning it's made up and the points don't matter. Listen to get the deets on this and other associated terms from cis to agender and all of the things in-between and around with Amanda. Keep going to hear how you're supposed to take this information about living within a structure that limits liberties and causes erasure with Katie because like, gender roles are bad but how do you date dudes while knowing that the system is rigged and bad?

Like we told you last week - Mercury is in retrograde and things are hard. Scheduling conflicts happen. Podcasting is like, barely, an art form. It's definitely not an art form when we do it. This week is a re-run of 14: Meet Cubes & Meet Cutes from August 1, 2019.
This week the hosts are dishing out some well-needed cuteness with their guest, Lillie Kase and talking MEET CUTES (and meat cubes). What's a meet cute, you ask? Well, it can mean many things, from Amanda's story about ugly pants, Lillie's tale of long-term Facebook stalking, to that bit from The Holiday or 50WD listener submissions. The common thread, at the end of the day is having enough blind confidence to go after someone in a non-creepy, welcomed way. Join your favorite ladies and one of their favorite ladies in shooting the business on meeting people, flirting and Hulk-sized dildos. Not even kidding about that last one. You know it's always a wild ride with this podcast, this isn't new. Just jump on in.

40: Reduce, Resuse, Recycle, Rihanna this Retrograde (00:53:10)
Have you been unable to express your feelings, read a map or understand basic directions recently? That's because the stars have spoken, Mercury Retrograde is here and we're all dumb-dumbs now. In an effort to prevent Dumb-Dumbhood, 50WD is here with a little communication #vibecheck for you. That's right, check them vibes. Starting with: What kind of communicator are you? How do you figure that out (a good ol' online quiz, obvi) and what do you do with that information? How do you chill your dang feelings to properly communicate with your partner/parents/roommates/whoever you're trying to talk to? We answer those questions, plus which Bratz doll the hosts are. You know, important stuff.

Valentine's Day Is Super Metal (00:59:43)
Valentine's Day is super fucking metal. It's a historical fact. Today on this beautiful Galentine's Day, your favorite podcast (it's your favorite now, sorry, you don't have a choice) is just trying to be lighthearted and goofy and reassure you that this holiday doesn't matter - but that doesn't mean it's made up. It's actually based in some pretty wild Roman rituals that are metal af. We got history, culture, jokes, bad date stories, sacrifices of the hosts' own bad V-Days and a lot of love for Leslie Knope and Galentine's Day. What else do you need?

38: It's Really Whatever Works For You (01:04:50)
Hello friends, neighbors, people who found this podcast accidentally and are now mildly confused! Welcome back to another round of 50WD. This week the pod and the pals are diving deep into relationship milestones. As we're deep in (or at the tail end) of cuffing season, what of those relationship moments really matter? If you're not seeing the same moments and wins and leveling up your best friend is, does that matter? Does it speak poorly about your relationship? Should you let it get you down? That answer is a resounding no, because it's like whatever works for you. But we have more to it than just that. Jump in for Amanda's love of love and Katie's cold dose of realism, because 50WD is talking about what it means to poop in your S/O's presence.

37: A Variety Show Cabaret About Gaslighting (01:10:17)
Sup, nerds! This week on the variety-show-caberet-comedy-hour-rant-session that is 50WD we are talking Gaslighting - because what the heck does that mean anyways? Well, Amanda has a definition for you, Katie has some #facts for you and you're going to learn yourself a thing. Gaslighting Is, at its core, manipulation that removes you from your grasp on reality, makes you distrust yourself and your perspective and is just some really skeezeball behavior. It is not cool. This, however, is a radical self-love podcast where we are ready to pep talk you if you feel like you relate or know someone who does. It's okay to get manipulated, but you got to pull yourself together and remove that garbage from your path, and that's really what is up for discussion today. Hope you learn something, feel something or enjoy something.

36: Money Money Money (00:50:26)
Is it Cher/ABBA "Money" or Cardi B "Money?" Well, you'll have to find out in this episode. It's 2020 and people are getting DUMPED because they make more money than their boyfriends and we are MAD ABOUT IT. Basically, we're talking feminism and money and dating. Are you still a feminist if you want the guy to pay on a first date? Does your girl power card get revoked when you do the fake wallet grab? What does science say about all of this? 50WD this week has a sleepy Amanda, an offended Katie and several university studies telling you that we have not come as far as the Women's March might have you think.

35: Burps With A Side Of Podcasting (Exes and IG) (00:59:53)
Happy Thursday! Glad you're back! It's time, once again, to help the good 50WD community. This week, an anonymous IG DM-er has posed Katie and Amanda with some heavy questions, all about how to deal with an ex on Instagram. Do you block them? Keep them in close friends? How long do you do that for? How do you cope? This person is walking around with all your secrets and has seen you naked, and they can just randomly choose to watch your Instagram stories? Isn't that wild? Yeah, it is. Also talking about burps, gas, social media cleanses, dating apps, all that nonsense. Another week of mumbo and jumbo, dive right in friends.

34: People Should Resolve To Suck Less (01:00:33)
They're back! 2020 is hitting hard with new years resolutions and returns to real life. As you brush off your brain to the reality of work, school, people, whatever you have to deal with - it's hard to keep your mental health together in general. Add all of this self-improvement business and it gets really tough. Today Amanda and Katie are talking about new years resolutions, body positivity and what everyone should take as their 2020 resolution: trying not to suck. So whether you want to clean your room, shed a few pounds or not be a total dillweed, there's something in this self-love, Lizzo-fueled, funny side-story filled pep talk and idea brainstorm for you. Just as not structured and rambly as ever. Also features a toothless bad date listener mail and if you listen closely, Amanda's upstairs neighbors learning the tango. Happy New Year, 50WD fans.

33: Desperate Times Call For Desperate Measures (00:42:21)
So you snuck in, snuck around, hide in a closet, got around the security cameras - but are you ready to be a Great American Dick Ninja? Probably. We've all done it, it's like a badge of life. This week A&K have a listener mail from the good old CSHS realm and they are dissecting on air almost as much as off air. Between tails of dick ninja-ing into a high secure home in the suburbs (twice, we have two stories about it) to Craigslist nightmares this week is all about the leaps and bounds people go through to get it. The motivation is amazing. It's also hilarious. That's why you're here. That's enough said, get listening.

Another week of mild technical difficulties can't get these ladies down. This week Katie and Amanda are answering YOUR questions, giving YOU advice and solving ALL of the problems that exist in the world. Yeah, you heard that right. There are no more problems on Planet Earth. That's it, we're all happy now. JK JK JK we have more than a billion problems, but the hosts have started here with questions about admitting you met your bae on an app, crazy ex girlfriends, cat-fishing, coping with life, work problems and loving yourself. Most of the basics. Thanks to everyone who asked questions, hopefully some of your problems are solved.

Happy Thanksgiving, we're thankful for you bothering to read this! This week the pod features some more pep-talkin' and an old faithful guest, dear Bree Sauls. She's wise and argues that she's not a millennial, so her advice is legit. With Thanksgiving being, well, today, it's time to talk about being grateful - no, wait, we're not doing that, we're talking about how coming home to siblings, friends, old friends, exes and whoever can really ignite anxieties about where you should be in life. Have I accomplished enough? Do I make enough money? And it brings in complex emotions and "shoulda, coulda, woulda" issues. All of that is BS, baby, you're doing fine, but you should listen to us to find out more. Also, sorry about sound quality and tech issues - we are thankful for them, they keep us humble. RIP Grandma in that listener mail.

Helllllllllloooo friends, do these hosts have some business to get into with you. This week is another one of antics, giggles and meticulously cutting around the inner details about personal lives because it's about to get intimate up in here. And by that, we're talking sex toys. The holidays mean seeing your family, twinkle lights, cookies and roaring fires - but it also means Cyber Monday sales where you can get yourself a DEAL on something sexy for yourself and not feel remotely guilty about dropping that good money on yourself. This week K&A talk stigma, talk conversations about incorporation and as always have some gnarly worst date tales to tell.

28: Ghost Or Be Ghosted (00:58:06)
This week 50WD is covering one of the most 2019 things out there: Ghosting. It's ubiquitous to the Tinder age. It's happened to all of us, all of us have done it and some of us are trying to do neither of those things and find love or whatever. With the spark of some listener mail (thank u, basic listener) and Amanda being bitter about some dude, you get to hear a pep talk about how ghosting is not actually that bad, it's psychologically more prevalent with people who believe in The One (TM) and some other sh*t shooting. There's some ghost stories that seem to be tied by a common Chipotle thread, Amanda tells a tale of a crazy ex girlfriend, Katie complains about her exes and only some of it was cut out this time - it's all the usual hijinks. Remember that you too can submit pleas for advice, no matter how basic, via email or DM. Get listening, nerds.

27: Halloween Whore-ror Story Special (00:58:14)
BOO! SPOOKY! SCARY! HAPPY HALLOWEEN y'all! It's the best day of the year. While last week your ghoulish hoe-sts walked you through the do's, don'ts and walks home from this glorious holiday, today is all in the spooky spirit with some scary whore-ror stories. Lord Farquaad and Medusa tell tales of the Dating Game Killer, who is named Robert, or Randy, or Richard or something and his nasty crimes, a Creepy Pasta with a surprising and um, interestingly written twist, and a true-tale of how Katie went on a date with a guy who gave off heavy serial killer vibes. There's laughs, cackles, a weird intro of terrifying millennial dating things that is never really touched on or explained - this episode has it all. Sit back, don't relax too much and remember to not go on dates with serial killers. Happy Halloween!

26: Hot Ghoul Halloween (01:05:16)
Get ready, ghouls, fools and hotties in between: the Halloween episodes have arrived. Round one is a lovely lil' reminder to not be icky this holiday season. Whether that's being appropriative (don't be a Spacey Kacey, y'all), letting the patriarchy tell you to be a sexy baby or losing condoms inside of people - don't be icky. Plain and simple. That said, this week your hoe-sts are inspiring you with some learnings on cultural appropriation, because a good and comedic reminder is never a bad thing. You're getting new and improved Halloween ideas, because maybe you aren't like Katie and Amanda and you haven't had your costume decided on since Christmas. You're even getting a bunch of listener tales of Halloween Walks of Shame (or Strides of Pride, no judgement). You'll laugh, you'll sigh, you'll hear Rocky wag his tail. Get on it.

25: Kiss Me Thru The Phone & Other LDR Tips (00:58:34)
Another week, another episode of shenanigans. This week your hoe-sts have a good old buddy on, Sarah, to talk about how at least 1/3 long distances relationships around the table don't have to fail. Sometimes bae moves, sometimes you move, sometimes you're just dumb, but however it happens, there's a lot of great tips to follow to keep the vibe alive. The LDR is a hard moment and Katie and Amanda speak to their experiences, but Sarah brings some well-needed positivity in with her lovely story about her and her boyfriend's LDR and not so LDR relationship. The week has laughs, jokes, high school horror stories (both Sarah's worst date and the pause in the show to talk about Amanda drawing on her face in 2019 like she did when she was 15) and a listener mail that is... sh*tty to say the least.
