Another month, another night of drinking during the Times of Covid. Join the ladies in side notes about their mixologist expertise (measure everything), construction paper decorations, and the actual positives of C19. Sports are trying to make a comeback... so Anna and Nikki might have some other things to talk about soon. And, also, by the way, wear your mask.

Ep182-Give Me a Fucking Break

June 09, 2020 12:00 - 39 minutes - 54.5 MB

The title says it all... Welcome back and to the revolution. LWB stands with the marginalized of this country, especially our Black+ friends and family. Join us in keeping our feet on the gas and moving forward. The Ladies spend time this episode talking about dating in quarantine, including Nikki's recent interaction that came to a screeching halt... similar to her story. Drinks in hand (the clinking ice is a cheers to you, Loyal Listeners!), they ponder about this new dating world wit...

Ep181-Sally Frost, Quarantine Dating Expert

May 12, 2020 23:46 - 47 minutes - 64.6 MB

It's week...?... and we're officially a podcast about dating and only dating. Fortunately, a special guest joins to tell us how it's done in the age of quarantine. One tip: Stop the selfies from the toilet. Let's get love sick with Covid-Cupid.

Ep180-Love in the Time of Quarantine

April 07, 2020 12:00 - 40 minutes - 55.5 MB

(Or, ya know...Corona) Like you, the ladies are in quarantine (or as Producer Matt likes to say - queerantine). No sports? No worries. Nothing can stop Nikki and Anna from analyzing the important issues of our time, such as Oprah's Bookclub, Nikki's dating phone calls, and Sally's sexting. #savethetoiletpaper #goBadgers2020

Ep179-I Like Porn...

March 03, 2020 15:10 - 35 minutes - 48.7 MB

Nikki is BACK! We missed her, kinda. We're heading into our favorite time of year: March Madness! The Ladies will be in Vegas in 2 weeks. Until then, they're being fueled by drama from a Toronto Blue Jay, the gals and gays of Cheer, and those questionable participants on Love is Blind. PS, is love really blind?...

Ep178-Subs

February 04, 2020 13:00 - 31 minutes - 43.5 MB

Coming at you from Park City, Anna and special guest cohost Matt* teach you about the Chiefs, helicopters and Reddit, a new dating platform; apparently it’s what the cougars are using. *Don't get us started on Nikki -- she has a special message for you

January 07, 2020 13:00 - 33 minutes - 46.6 MB

The ladies are coming at you from another planet, known as Pasadena during the Rose Bowl with thousands of drunken Badgers. 20 years ago they did the same thing. Fortunately, they now have a podcast to capture the moments. Doug says it all: This is premium content. Take a listen and just remember, they’re 40+ going on 22. God, the Badgers keep ‘em young.

Ep176-Thanksgrieving

December 03, 2019 13:08 - 39 minutes - 54.7 MB

The holidays mark the passing of time, just like college football, and it makes these ladies feel OLD. There are grays, partial deafness, tenuous Badger performance, and being business ladies. But, Happy Thanksgiving, all! Catch up with the gals this ep and ring in the season... with domestic lights of course. See you in 2020!

Ep175-Appsolutely

November 05, 2019 18:40 - 46 minutes - 63.8 MB

Also, a quick push notification: Anna needs a date for Madison this weekend.

Ep174-Nut Cups

October 08, 2019 23:39 - 41 minutes - 56.5 MB

It's October so there's no better time to talk about crazy superstitions. It's magic (not Johnson) in sports, which leads the ladies to pose an interesting challenge to Producer Matt (hint: nut cups). On the dating front, Anna is still coupled with Barry, and Nikki is great at making new friends. Just remember folks, "at the end of the day..."

EP173-Icnusa Assembly

September 03, 2019 15:09 - 36 minutes - 49.8 MB

Ciao from Italia, Loyal Listeners! The ladies report from Europe, tanner than they’ve ever been, eating so much pizza they’ll need a break back home (for no more than 2 days). There’s been a conscious uncoupling, and some oddball interactions with functioning alcoholics and a guy who shares pictures on text like it’s Instagram. It’s back to school as these broads head back to the US! Pop an Ichnusa and enjoy their version of Bey’s Homecoming, titled Assembly.

Ep172- It's a Roundup

August 06, 2019 12:00 - 37 minutes - 50.9 MB

Another month away, another month of thinking, "Am I alone in this?!" by our hosts and loyal listeners. Nikki needs a breath of fresh air after "Hal" leaves her unhinged.

May 07, 2019 12:14 - 28 minutes - 38.5 MB

April 30, 2019 12:00 - 27 minutes - 38.2 MB

April 16, 2019 01:33 - 34 minutes - 47 MB

The ladies cover a rare topic for them: Hockey. Fortunately, since they don't know much, they have a special guest and expert, Mr. John King. He has a "young" betting approach. He's also a great third wheel, witnessing some pretty interesting dating action.

Ep165-Love Languages & That Other Hottie Tony Bennett

April 09, 2019 12:00 - 26 minutes - 36.5 MB

This week Anna and Nikki welcome a guest co-host, Z! Z talks about marriage, love languages, and being a Z-ero generation immigrant from China. We aren't 100% sure on Z's first name, but we're 100% sure Anna shouldn't try to pronounce it.

Ep164-Last Week's Bookies

April 02, 2019 12:00 - 29 minutes - 39.9 MB

The ladies remember the Bobbitts as Nikki stares down the barrel of 40. They learned a lot, so will you; like how Nikki wore actual graphic tees. Don't worry, they still cover dating (#twinning) and sports ($330M balls). Bonus: Bobsie makes a quick appearance!

Ep159-Unhappy Endings

February 26, 2019 13:00 - 27 minutes - 37.6 MB

January 29, 2019 13:00 - 30 minutes - 41.3 MB

January 22, 2019 13:00 - 27 minutes - 38.3 MB

The Super Bowl match is set and the Patriots are in it again... we're bored already. Nikki's attracting a lot of bees in the hives, and she's trying some new approaches to work through the bench quicker. Anna recalls that time the internet probably [definitely] broke when she was trying to date.

Ep153-What's My Age Again?

January 15, 2019 13:00 - 29 minutes - 40.8 MB

What is age but a number... everyone can apparently fabricate. While the rest of us get older, including Stanley (HBD!), Nikki magically gets younger. Meanwhile, we've got the final four in the Playoffs... that means opinions and gambling. PSA: We just want to say that sometimes LWB's half-informed reporting can lead to real change. So, be sure to tune in every week to stay fully abreast(s) of all breaking news. #Davenport4Life

December 18, 2018 12:00 - 28 minutes - 38.6 MB

November 13, 2018 12:00 - 32 minutes - 60.1 MB

Ep143-Bidet

November 06, 2018 12:00 - 33 minutes - 60.5 MB
