Hey guys. We need to talk. In our final episode of the podcast, Courtney and DCT say goodbye to what has become the best thing to come out of the pandemic for them and also the highlight of their breakup. Sadly the time has come to end the podcast and in this last episode we discuss why, what this project has meant to us, who our fave couples were to rate, the one couple we wish we had covered, and where you can find us next. We want to thank our listeners for tuning in and supporting us both here and on Patreon, your feedback and enthusiasm for your favourite and least favourite couples has made this podcast so much fun. We love you!
If you're listening before June 12th, come see Courtney in character as Monica Geller roasting the FRIENDS gang at Comedy Bar in Toronto! Tickets at comedybar.ca

Here it is, the finale playoffs - BUT WITH A TWIST! Two top scoring couples tied for second so we spend the first few minutes facing them off before moving on to the finals. Can you guess who the mystery couple is? Check it out! This is a super fun episode to round out the season, we deconstruct some red flags and have a hard time coming up with cons to two wholesome pure romances. Do Phoebe Buffay and Anne Shirley have anything in common? Is taking wedding money back from a children's charity worse than breaking a slate over someone's head?
Enjoy this episode and we'll see you soon for season 4! In the meantime sign up for our Patreon where we will continue uploading regular weekly content!
We're back with our penultimate Season 3 episode and kicking off the spooky season like teenagers in the 2000's! Today we can live like Jack and Sally if we want! We discuss what Sally is really made of, oblivious men, and how Jack Skellington is a Sagittarius. So put on your thickest eye liner, have a bowl of Worms Wart Soup with Frog's Breath and enjoy our Nightmare Before Christmas episode!
Did we score them fairly? Do they make it to the finals? Is there any other holiday doors you want to look behind?

We're back with a surprise switch up couple, Anne (with an 'E') Shirley and Gilbert Blythe from the famous CBC mini series! This love story is near and dear to our Canadian hearts. We talk about the unforgivable slur "carro*s", bosom friendship, kindred spirits, romance that takes a few twists and turns, Anne as a feminist icon, what it means to follow your ideals/standards, and MUCH more. Pour yourself a glass of raspberry cordial and join us for this wholesome, heartwarming chat that also briefly touches on Anne possibly being submissive in bed.
Enjoy!
Welp, we found it - the quintessential movie that inspired everyone around the world to NOT TRUST MIXED GENDER/EX FRIENDSHIPS! Omg is this how you guys think we act??? We're so sorry for the misrepresentation. This '90s classic with Julia Roberts, Dermot Mulroney, and Cameron Diaz is SO MUCH FUN and SO FULL of problems and we get right into it! If San Antonio sweeps Sacramento we will get to the bottom of this: should you trust the "girl"/"boy" best friend?
Plus we talk about karaoke as a date, who the "real" best friend is in this movie, inappropriate 'platonic' behaviour, and more!

Back from hiatus and back to Stars Hollow! In our third installment of Gilmore Girls romance, we cover Rory's longest standing relationship with the rich and (in)famous Logan Huntzberger. We talk about what kind of fit Logan is as a steady boyfriend, the ultimate "we were on a break" debate, intentions vs actions, love bombing, attachment styles, parental influence in relationships, and of course - who wins the official Best Boyfriend title for Rory? Jess, Dean, or Logan? Plus, we rate them at the end! Check it out and let us know what you think!

This episode focuses on the relationship of Andy (Anne Hathaway) and Nate (Adrian Grenier) as they navigate the stress and strain of a new career path under the tyranny of high fashion. We discuss how to be a supportive partner instead of a little bitch during times of transition and how Nate's immaculate skill at burning grilled cheese sandwiches should never have landed him a job as a sous chef. But does Nate have any redeeming qualities? Does Andy? DOES MIRANDA? Please, listen to this episode at a glacial pace, you know how that thrills me.

Another Friends couple on deck? You BETCHA. Your favourite exes are feelin' floopy today and heading back to Central Perk to chat about Phoebe Buffay and Mike Hannigan AKA Princess Consuela Banana Hammock and Crap Bag. These two lovebirds had a bit of a rough patch pretty quick into their relationship so we dive right into that but don't worry we also cover their earlier moments, sweet chemistry, the David Dilemma, how they treated their exes, ponder about why Mike's ex-wife "deliberately defecated....", plus we think we figured out what secret sex experiment Phoebe told Joey she wanted to try with Mike?? And of course we give them a final rating! How did they do? Don't miss this fun one, smelly cats! And this is gonna sound crazy but we could not let the box of rats ruin our lives.
