Would You Date a Friend’s Ex?

Dear Media
About this episode

We’re discussing the controversial topic of dating a friend’s ex (or someone they dated casually or even just slept with). We’re breaking down all the different scenarios, what counts as “girl code,”  a recent situation between us, our listeners’ thoughts, and how to talk to a friend about dating their past flame. Then we’re diving into some spicy listener emails about a friendship-ending situation and a man dating his friend’s ex-wife. Before we get into the topic, we debut our 2024 campaign t-shirts, chat about Ashley’s wedding planning (the guest list has been made), and Rayna shares HUGE NEWS! Enjoy!
