I Hear You, Babe — Comedy & Relationship Advice

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...

Send us Fan Mail it's thursday. the episode was supposed to drop monday. dino has the flu, darius had a fever, and they watched twenty-two hours of lord of the rings extended edition on the couch together which may or may not be romantic depending on how you look at it. this week's prompt: what are you pretending is fine right now? the inbox delivered. we've got a woman who's b...

Send us Fan Mail Dino is recording with a stye today. He showed up anyway. This week: a sidewalk tarot reader rolling a booger mid-reading, thoughts on Melania, and why the number of unsolved murders in this country is actually unhinged. Dino is on the case. He does not have a badge. Then the inbox. Seven months of "same." A spreadsheet with a vibe rating column. Kind of my person, in a...

Send us Fan Mail Hello and welcome back to I Hear You, Babe. This week we're talking about the friendship breakup — not the dramatic kind with a fight and a moment you can point to, but the slow kind. The one where you look up one day and realize the person you used to call about everything has become someone you see four times a year and call it fine. Before the emails, Dino talks about Cany...

Send us Fan Mail Dino's been sober for seven days, just made a hard business decision, and is somehow still at the studio on a Sunday morning with a 7-Eleven coffee. That's the vibe. This week we're talking about ambition — specifically whose dream you've actually been chasing. Dino gets into the SaltDrop origin story, what it really costs to build something from scratch versus...

Send us Fan Mail A little founder therapy and a lot of listener emails. Dino talks about the messy reality of running a startup, making hard financial decisions, and what nobody tells you about building a business with real people inside it. Then we get into the inbox: dating chaos, recurring couple fights, weaponized incompetence, location tracking moms, and the man who somehow managed to run two...

Send us Fan Mail Mercury retrograde is retrograding, it’s raining in New York, and I have started this episode eleven times, so if the vibe is a little feral, that is why. We talk influencer discourse and why some people stay quiet about big things, why Instagram is not the United Nations, and why Substack is where nuance belongs. Then we pivot to joy, nostalgia, and the hunt for a real Pac Man or...

Send us Fan Mail This is I Hear You, Babe. Today we’re legislating. From men leaning on subway poles and blocking three handholds, to $19 smoothies with 25 percent tip screens, to finance bros walking shoulder to shoulder like they own Manhattan — this is Things That Should Be Illegal: NYC Edition, Vol. 2. We get into subway etiquette, dating app emotional hedging, coffee shop laptop squatters, pu...

Send us Fan Mail This is I Hear You, Babe. I just got back from Pittsburgh, got humbled by family reality, and came home to the blizzard of 2026 where I fully became your conspiracy aunt. Lucy Letby. Epstein again on Netflix with new context. 25 episodes of Killer Cases. Half a pan of brownies. Not well. But weirdly clear. Because every story I watched had the same quiet theme: staying. Staying wh...

This week on I Hear You, Babe , listeners share the quiet moments they realized a relationship wasn’t right — not the breakup, not the explosion, but the knowing that came before.

Send us Fan Mail This is I Hear You, Babe . Today we are talking about the comment that was small but stayed with you forever. It starts with a very New York moment. I asked a guy for a lighter while he was literally smoking a cigarette and he said he didn’t have one. And somehow that spirals into everything. Because this episode is not about the big blowups. It’s about the tiny comments. The offh...

Send us Fan Mail This week on I Hear You, Babe , we’re easing into it. I start by talking about losing Dude and how grateful I am that we were able to say goodbye at home. It was quiet. It was sad. It was peaceful. And yes, I cried like a child. From there, we settle into a very real, very human mega episode about what actually helps when you’re not okay — not in an Instagram way, not in a fix-it...

Send us Fan Mail This week, it is the fake limbo between Christmas and New Year’s where nobody knows what day it is, time feels optional, and I refuse to spend a single second doing a countdown with anyone I don’t deeply trust. We’re talking gray New York days, castor oil everywhere, vision boards on the living room floor, and the specific chaos that only shows up when the year is about to end. We...

Send us Fan Mail It is almost Christmas and I am in that weird in between time where the city feels half asleep and everything feels a little softer. Last night I went to Jan and Jackie’s Christmas show at Red Eye. Tonight Darius and I are doing a candlelight concert with traditional Christmas songs. Tomorrow I head to Pittsburgh for a few days and I am already thinking about my mom’s food and als...

Send us Fan Mail This week on I Hear You, Babe, Dino gets into Hot Takes — the quiet thoughts you have at the kitchen counter, the texts you never sent, the opinions you immediately judge yourself for having. These aren’t podcast bro hot takes or engagement bait. They’re honest. Messy. Lived in. Listener emails and DMs roll in on love, friendship, self respect, silence, closure, being “chill,” out...
