Boat days are all about the company, and it took Riv and Elle a while to learn that lesson. First, they got invited on a "yacht" which was an old fishing boat, to their surprise. The cherry on top? Maybe the boat captain who had never driven a boat. They finally landed on a proper yacht, but the company was not ideal, and they contemplated calling the water authorities to take them back to shore. Learn from them and do your research before committing to a day on the water. Ask for a guest list and maybe a picture of the boat too? The girls end this week's episode with more listener questions. write-in for next week: https://untched.com/write-in SOCIALS: @untchedpodcast @rivers.smyth @elleggraves

This week Riv and Elle chat about their week away and a possible new direction they want to take UNTCHED. After feeling a little burnt out, they are looking for new inspiration and want all of you to be involved. Next, the girls move into some listener questions, including another relationship with a professor, feeling uncomfortable with dirty talk, and how to break up with a high school boyfriend.
This week Riv and Elle dive into situationships. First, they define situationships from their own experiences and land on "undefined relationships with one person wanting more than the other," much like the extended talking phase. The girls list some signs that you might be in one yourself, and the biggest sign is confusion. Next, the girls chat about the don't ask but tell policy. If you want to ask the "what are we" or "where is this going" questions stop yourself and instead tell them what you want. They aren't worth the time if they can't match your energy.

Riv and Elle jump right into this week's episode. First, the girls chat about how you break the news to your friends and family about getting back together with an ex. It can be awkward, especially after hours of gossip. Don't pull a 180 on your friends and keep them in the loop when you are rekindling things with an ex. It'll make the "hey, we're getting back together" conversation a little bit easier. Remember that your friends and family typically have your best interest at heart, so if the news is not received well, it's not because they don't want to see you happy. Next Riv, and Elle wonder, "should you confront a ghoster?" The answer is definitely. Ghosting is an easy way out, so why make it easy for them. Keep it classy and leave with some dignity, but stand up for yourself! Finally, the girls give some fun cheap date ideas for couples. The key is to romanticize everything you do with each other. A grocery run can be a date if you make it one. UNTCHED website: https://untched.com/ SOCIALS: @untchedpodcast @rivers.smyth @ellggraves
Happy Wednesday! This week Riv and Elle have a birthday gift guide for the people who are exclusive but not dating. Don't show up empty-handed, but you can celebrate someone outside of wrapped gifts. Plan something fun, and don't stress yourself out about it! Moving into the episode, they rant about how important they think it is to keep a little mystery within your relationships. Mystery meaning don't be f***ing gross. Do you want to pig out on hot wings? Call your close girlfriends, not your man. Next, they move into infatuation vs. love, two entirely different concepts. Love shouldn't keep you on your toes and give you butterflies. The butterflies are your body's response to anxiety and nervousness. Love should feel safe, and there should be a sense of security surrounding the relationship. Finally, Riv and Elle answer a listener question about their experiences with birth control.

Happy Wednesday! Riv and Elle kick off the episode chatting about valentines day prep. Should you get him a present or not? They mutually agree that the safe option is to show up empty-handed, especially if you're not dating. Of course, they have another movie review for you. This week they review redeeming love. They had no idea what they were getting themselves into, but they have to say 10/10. Getting into the meat of the episode, the girls give you the code to instantly find out someone's intentions. If their words and actions don't match, RUN! The biggest red flag is big talk. They move on to talk about their green flags and what you should look for in the early stages of a relationship. Finally, Riv and Elle chat about dating as an over thinker and the challenges that may arise. If you need consistent reassurance in your relationships, there is no shame in asking for it. Open communication is important, and if someone isn't willing to give you what you need, you're not losing anything. But, have you ever thought maybe relationships aren't for you? The girls bring up that we are programmed to desire romantic relationships even if it's not what we need in certain stages of our life. Take time to yourself and enjoy the phases!

TRIGGER WARNING this episode contains topics that may be sensitive to some viewers The girls had a long weekend in, which means many updates, impulse decisions, and movie reviews. Shortstop is sneaking his way back, which leads the girls into a conversation about the Megan Fox and MGK aesthetic. It can come off a little intense. Also, mystery man only has one calf? Riv and Elle are always balling on a budget and decided never to get their nails done again. They chat about this new nail adventure and attempt to justify it by channeling the Kim K natural nails. Moving into the episode, Riv and Elle talk about some movies they recently watched. The two movies in question are After and The Hating Game. Both fall under the category of romance but are quite the opposite. The girls notice little to no communication in the relationships showcased and tons of toxic energy. Maybe there's a better genre for these movies like uhhh thrillers? They close out the episode with a listener question about lo the limo driver but suspect they may have fallen victim to a little prank.

This week Riv and Elle tap into some pop culture. First, they have to address the Sex and the City reboot. All they have to say is "out of pocket." Getting into the episode, they chat about seasonal depression, which seems significantly worse this year. Can we all agree winter is a simulation? Riv and Elle share some things to brighten up the winter days. The takeaway is to go easy on yourself now more than ever. Lightening the mood, the girls are joined by meg, a fan favorite, to talk about queefing. Is it awkward? The short answer is no because hot girls queef. Farting, on the other hand, is a NO GO. The only thing worse than Disney couples is couples who fart around each other. Respectfully, stop. Your homework this week is to start Sex and the City if you haven't already, and don't forget to send UNTCHED to a friend!
