I Hear You, Babe — Comedy & Relationship Advice

Send us Fan Mail there were worries. there were tolls. babe. ep 66 is rock bottoms are for champions: moving back home at 35, crying in the costco parking lot after a job interview, driving 47 minutes for a man who said “maybe,” and selling the pink couch from the business you built. breakups, job loss, burnout, and starting over without a perfect comeback story. plus: i’m still in belmont, cospla...

Send us Fan Mail your friend took him back. unfortunately, you still remember he was a dickhead. this week: supporting the friend whose ex you still can’t f*ing stand, a birthday dinner where nobody "apparently" knows the birthday girl, a boss who wants honesty until you’re honest, and wanting christmas with your friends without a family guilt intervention. plus: i’m in boston, it’s 36 d...

Send us Fan Mail they didn't die. they stopped texting. babe. ep 64 is the second annual ghost stories: the hairstylist of eight years who vanished, then posted a giveaway for her "loyal clients." the situationship who went quiet in april and got engaged three weeks later with a sunset caption. the ex who left her good hair dryer in a trader joe's bag outside the door while his...

Send us Fan Mail when's the last time you said "no worries if not" and actually meant it? exactly. (there were worries. there were so many worries.) this week the inbox is all about asking for the thing without feeling like a burden. the girl who invited her boyfriend to the holiday party with two exclamation points and then iced him for two days. the raise request that apologized f...

Send us Fan Mail he said "k." you need medical attention. babe. ep 62 is the tiny thing that suddenly gets a badge and a task force: the best friend who's been "free next week" since june, the story-watcher who was "slammed," the roommate saying nothing's wrong in a voice that says everything is, and the birthday ruined by the wrong frosting. plus: the inbox...

Send us Fan Mail she said it in 2019. you’re still thinking about it. babe. ep 61 is the comment that moved into your brain and started paying rent: the mall girl who called the black leggings “brave” and accidentally ran one woman’s workout wardrobe for seven years. “you’re prettier in person” and a camera that has a case against you. the boss who called her sweet instead of promotable. the ex wh...

Send us Fan Mail it's SIXTY, girls. the sequel to the one you keep sending each other — and this time the question has a second half: you found out whose dream it was. now what? some of you left, some of you stayed on purpose (in a walk-in cooler), one of you wrote back from denver with the fridge note coming down. also: a flood watch, a funeral, and the leash-belt community must be stopped....

Send us Fan Mail he stepped on your foot. and you said sorry. babe, we need to talk. ep 59 is people pleasing: the girl who apologized to her own reflection at sephora (twice). the "no worries if not!!" text that left her without heat for six weeks. the bride who said sorry to her maid of honor for being busy — at her wedding. the finance girl who counted 31 sorrys in one workday. manche...

Send us Fan Mail the same dream. again. babe, it's been YEARS — and your brain keeps sending it for a reason. ep 57 is the recurring dream episode: the ex who keeps showing up in a kitchen being polite (sir, this is a subconscious). the teeth. the chase that stopped when she stopped. a whole CPA failing high school math once a month (what does mrs. patterson WANT from her). the dream that ret...

Send us Fan Mail there's someone in your life who heard what they said about you… and passed the bread and butter. girl. we need to talk about her. this week: the switzerland friend — she's not neutral, she's comfortable — and her cousin the double agent, who trashes everyone to you and posts them with a heart. plus: i accidentally texted my ex-friend asking for a hat back (during s...

Send us Fan Mail there's a version of you that already knows. and you've been avoiding her for a year, babe. ep 55 is the one about hiding from yourself. a woman buying groceries every sunday for a version of her who cooks — the rice cooker has never been opened (babe, i own the same unopened rice cooker, darius bought it, it lives under the sink). a girlie in auckland who organized her...

Send us Fan Mail ever opened his story again… in case it changed? babe. it had not changed. ep 54 is caught in 4K — by MYSELF. not caught by him, not by your bestie. caught by the only witness that matters: you, at 1am, fully perceiving yourself. this week: 84 weeks deep in his cousin's wedding album, airplane mode on as a safety measure (that's bomb defusal, babe). forty-one voice memos...

Send us Fan Mail ever had a fight start about a rotisserie chicken and end at his entire family since 2023? babe. the chicken opened a portal. ep 53 is kitchen sink fights — the argument that starts about one thing and somehow contains seventeen. the mental filing cabinet (babe, it's coming from the cabinet). the man who floods the room the second you raise ONE feeling. a listener married 41...

Send us Fan Mail ep 51 is the mental gymnastics episode — the full olympic floor routine your brain runs to make his behavior make sense. this week: a situationship texts "happy birthday" and she convenes a four-person panel about it (the committee was compromised. the committee wanted to believe). a man who's "just bad at texting" posts his lunch AND an introvert meme mid...

Send us Fan Mail fifty. FIFTY episodes. who let me. (nobody. that's the problem.) so for the milestone i did the one thing you should never do — i listened to episode one on the bus. it sounds like i recorded it in a tin can at the bottom of a pool during a thunderstorm and at one point i call a situationship "a journey." i had to pause it. a man looked at me. but it cracked somethi...

Send us Fan Mail okay so i found out the knicks won the championship because my whole neighborhood erupted at midnight and i genuinely thought it was gunfire. that's the episode. that's also the prompt. because this week is about your GUT — the times you JUST knew. no logic, no proof, your body just stood up and called it. the first date who bragged "i don't really read" (...

Send us Fan Mail okay so i lost my shoe to the rain on the way to the train and had to crawl back for it in front of god and everyone. that's just the open. that's not even the episode. it's summer, it's a sweaty 95, the girlies are out here with our coochies out, and you sent me everything that should be illegal about a nyc summer. the backpack man who clears a whole train car...

Send us Fan Mail okay so who owes you an apology? because i made a list and it's basically every man i've ever dated. this is the apology episode. and yet — no apology. the sorry you're still waiting for. the one that came five years too late and fixed nothing. "i'm sorry you feel that way," which is not an apology, it's a knife in the shape of one. the boss who...

Send us Fan Mail the back half of the inbox. a husband who became a running stat, a Carly-coded shit crappens (the lamb, IYKYK), a 62-year-old still waiting to hear "i love you" from her brother, and a closer that lands on actual hope — the woman who finally met a man who answers questions. plus: 50 and rainy, and the Aunt Diane documentary that colonized my brain. ihearyoubabepod@gmail....

Send us Fan Mail why are men… i did not raise these men but here i am, full-time translator. a man wore patti smith's face to a date and didn't know her name. another wore cargo shorts to a french bistro. one mid-act in murray hill said "ravishing" — with vibrato. also: the pentagon is now the "department of war." the white house emailed a reporter an alien emoji. a f...

Send us Fan Mail all rise. situationship court is officially in session. dino is the judge, the jury, and occasionally the defense attorney depending on the case. this week's prompt: bring me your most confusing almost-relationship. define the charges. who's on trial — them or you? the inbox showed up. a man with a toothbrush at her apartment who "wasn't sure where they were on...

Send us Fan Mail we’ve all watched someone disappear into a relationship. the quieter laugh. the new opinions. the boots that mysteriously vanished. this week’s prompt: tell me about someone you watched change. or tell me if that person was you. a broken coffee table. a man who weighed his cereal with airpods in. a friend in a peach dress watching the smartest weirdest person she knows marry someo...

Send us Fan Mail the red flag support group is now in session. hi my name is dino, i saw the red flag, and i waved back. some of us waved enthusiastically. some of us decorated the flag. some of us asked the red flag to move in and then acted surprised when it was still a red flag inside our apartment. this week: seven dates with a man who loved his ex more than her. the waiter who knew before she...
