I’ve Been In A Situationship For 8 Month...

SickBird Productions
About this episode

Jake almost had to show up to a date with a backpack, Talia’s showing off her new hair color, and we have our first update call! It’s another week of Basic Training. Here’s what we’re covering: Should you tell a friend her boyfriend is on Hinge when she’s asked for you not to meddle? What do you do when you know your situationship of 8 months doesn’t like you enough (and you’re in love with him)? What do you do if you realize you have a crush on a close friend (and she doesn't feel the same way)? Call us — and send us your updates!


Call us for advice! (929) 269-4960‬

And follow us on social: @talialichtstein @jakewcornell @basictrainingpod
