Olivia Titus (she/her) is a queer woman working in reality TV casting & development. She is newly single, an Aries, super family-oriented, and currently living in New York City. Olivia is originally from just south of Boston, likes being the more femme girl in the relationship, and is a great listener whose love languages are acts of service & quality time.
You are ideally masc or androgynous (anything but a cis straight man), not a total gym rat, and down to go out to a nice dinner. Her end goal is a monogamous relationship with marriage and kids.
In this episode, host Carolyn Bergier and Olivia talk about boundaries & dating in the friend group, cheating and the Vanderpump drama, and whether or not friends should date each other’s exes.
You can find Olivia at Ginger’s in Brooklyn, or on instagram at @oliviatitusofficial as well as TikTok at @oliviatitusofficial.

This might be the last episode of this podcast. If you've been listening every week, thank you. It's been a fun project for me to start. You probably know, it's based on a live show that I do in Brooklyn, and I'm gonna continue to do that show, but I'm stepping away from podcasting for a little bit.
Thank You!

Lauren Flans (she/her) is a gay, ciswoman, and only child. She’s a great listener, volunteers at the LA LGBTQ Center, and says if she was looking for more labels, she might call herself a demiromantic. She’s still a very Covid-conscious cutie and her dog Pierro will always be number one, so you gotta be okay with that.
Her ideal partner is: Rachel Weiss or the girl who plays Shelby in the Wilds. But seriously, you must be a fundamentally kind person, ok with Lauren’s independence and with moving a bit slow. Lauren is also open to women from where ever, not just LA.
Lauren and Host Carolyn Bergier chat about doing research before a date, figuring out parent stuff, has therapy gone too far?, and the curse of being drawn to straight women.

Ben Fisher (he/him) has been single for about 7 years now. He s based in New York City and likes to believe that he is kind, funny, and looks like a gay early 2000’s Jimmy Fallon.

Host Carolyn Bergier & Ben dive into his attachment style this episode, while also touching on meeting people organically vs on the apps, why architects are so hot, and limiting ourselves to top/bottom roles.

Micah Eames (he/him) is a trans-masc queer man looking for cuties to kiss and treat like a queen. This Brooklyn-based short king calls himself a hard Kinsey 3.5, and tends to skew more toward women romantically. A lifelong rock climber, Micah also enjoys karaoke duets and going out dancing.
Micah's ideal partner is probably a woman (but he’s open to all genders & sexualities), someone who is organized, lives in Brooklyn, is a good tipper, and looking for something casual.
Host Carolyn Bergier & Micah break down why so many queers are rock climbing these days, getting into standup, dating after transitioning, meeting people on Lex, and engage in some Terminal 5 slander.
