Dating in a town of 600 people? Shelby’s been there and yes, she’s probably dated someone you’re related to. 😅

In this episode, she spills the tea on small-town romance, big-city ghosting, a marriage that ended at 28, and a breakup that turned into a break-in (yikes).

Now a wedding photographer with a clear vision of what real love looks like, Shelby’s done playing games. She’s looking for faith, emotional maturity, and someone who actually texts back.

If you’ve ever dated in a town that’s too small or a city that’s too shady, you’ll feel very seen. Tap in.

James is a real-deal cowboy who still writes his number on napkins and yes, it actually works.

This Cave Creek heartthrob joins us to talk about dating in dusty boots, spotting fake cowboys (ahem, “drugstore cowboys”), and why he once got tangled up with a widow who slow-danced like a soulmate but had a boyfriend she couldn’t explain.

We also get into the wild world of micro-cheating!

• Is following your ex on Instagram shady or chill?
• What about staying “single” on socials?
• Is watching porn cheating?

Let’s just say, this debate gets spicy

From country dancing to painted toenails (big yes), James shares what turns him on, turns him off, and how he keeps it old-school romantic with a side of cowboy charm.

If your love life could use a little more lasso and a lot more honesty, this one’s for you. Yeehaw and press play.

At 42, she knows what she wants, isn’t afraid to make the first move, and absolutely will walk out mid-date if a man smells like regret and Axe body spray.

From gym flirtations to long-distance FaceTime dinners, Michelle shares hilarious horror stories (yes, including that guy who injected insulin at the table with zero warning) and real talk about dating with standards.

She's not pulling anyone along in life, and she's definitely not settling.

Tune in for laughs, wisdom, and a masterclass in confident dating.

Pam’s dating life? Absolute chaos, and we’re here for it.

She once caught her live-in boyfriend cheating and pulled a full Jerry Springer move by hiding the other woman in the stairwell for a dramatic reveal. Iconic.

From NFL flings with mugshots to men who think “What's your favorite color?” is deep conversation, Pam has seen it all. She’s a doctorate-holding business owner who wants masculine energy, attention to detail, and zero nonsense.

Oh, and did you know only 7% of guys message first on dating apps? No wonder Pam’s got stories.

Buckle up for laughs, gasps, and maybe a little secondhand rage. This one’s wild.

What do you get when a charming Canadian moves to the U.S. with his dog, high hopes, and zero idea what American dating is really like? Absolute chaos. And a lot of great stories.

JC thought he was entering the land of love and opportunity... instead, he landed in a dating slaughterhouse. From getting catfished by people who definitely used their cousin’s photo, to dropping $7,000 on a matchmaking service that delivered three “meh” dates and a whole lot of regret, JC has seen it all.

Oh, and let’s not forget the time a guy showed up to their first date... with his husband. Surprise!

We also dive into red flags, video call vetting (mandatory), and why being rude to waitstaff should be an automatic “nope.” Plus, we detour into the wild world of travel flings, celebrity cover-up marriages, and what really qualifies as Mile High Club material.

If your love life feels like a blooper reel, this episode will make you feel seen. Grab a drink, pet your dog, and press play.

Ready to wrangle some laughs and a whole lotta cowboy drama? Meet Cowgirl Alli — 32, child-free by choice, horse girl but not a “horse girl,” and living in a town so small it makes your group chat look crowded.

Alli’s dating life in rural Arizona includes rodeo cowboys (some sweet, some shady), a guy called Baseball Guy who forgot to mention his live-in girlfriend, and an ex who tried to test her by making her pay for a trip he invited her on. Spoiler: she passed. He didn’t.

From “buckle bunnies” to Friday night swing dancing, Alli dishes on the highs, lows, and yeehaw-what-the-hecks of dating in a town where everyone has an arena in their backyard and someone’s cousin probably dated your ex.

This episode is wild, funny, and surprisingly deep, just like Alli.

Tap in if you've ever judged someone for loving Disney a little too much or want the real scoop on cowboy red flags. Giddy up.

Think dating apps are a minefield? Try being a single dad with a 6’3” frame, an ag degree, and zero time for filters or BS.

Meet Paulo — farmer, world traveler, and real-life dating detective. From women who literally framed his picture after one date (yikes) to others who looked nothing like their profile (surprise!), Paulo has seen things.

But he's not jaded. He’s just honest. He’s got one priority: protecting his daughter from dating drama. And his rule? No dragging old baggage into new connections. (Also, if you baby-talk to your dog, he will judge you.)

This one’s for anyone who’s been ghosted, catfished, or just wants to hear a dude say “I used to be a pompous ass” and actually mean it.

Tap in for laughs, cringe, and a refreshing reminder that real is still sexy.

Meet Alli from the Valley, who went from living in her car to owning four homes, and somehow still finds time to date disaster after disaster.

Alli’s got stories. From drug-dealing dates to guys who think "honesty" means “I’m totally not a catfish,” her dating life is a sitcom we’d all love to watch (with popcorn in hand).
