In this episode, Hailey and Javi dive into the 2011 romantic comedy What's Your Number?, starring Anna Faris and Chris Evans, and unpack the messy, hilarious, and sometimes uncomfortable conversations about sex, dating, and relationships hiding beneath the romcom clichés.

From body counts, virginity, and society’s double standards for men and women to the ways alcohol can lead to regrettable decisions, we explore how personal values and societal expectations shape our experiences with intimacy. We also discuss fake accents, basketball culture in romantic comedies, lavender marriages, and the ever-evolving world of dating advice, including Canada's dating coach Chantel Heidi.

Then things get especially interesting as we venture into polyamory! What does it mean to be polysaturated? How can you be a good wingman for your own partner? And what does it actually mean to be a responsible hinge in kitchen-table polyamory? We get into the complicated dynamics between metamours, who’s responsible for maintaining those relationships, and the importance of knowing when to step back and relinquish control.

Whether you're monogamous, polyamorous, somewhere in between, or just here for the questionable romantic decisions, join us for a conversation about sex, love, expectations, and figuring out what healthy relationships look like on your terms.

Because apparently, one romcom can lead to A LOT of relationship discourse.
