Episode 31 – Three Apologies, Indie Clinton, Boy Sober & Men Who Never Recovered | 1-800 CHAT LINE
1800 CHATLINEShow Notes
On Episode 31 of 1-800 CHAT LINE… we begin with not one, not two, but three formal apologies.
Potentially three and a half.
We then dive into a weekend recap, including Amy’s 33rd birthday celebrations, proof that she still hasn’t grown up, and confirmation that she remains very much single and deep in the trenches.
There was also an unexpected run-in with someone from Amy’s past.
No, you won’t guess who.
👕 The Indie Clinton Conversation
This week, Amy and Sasha unpack the t-shirt that had the media talking, the renewed discussion around Ben Azar’s unfair dismissal case, and the way Indie Clinton continues to be portrayed in mainstream media.
Why does the conversation around female influencers always seem to become something much bigger?
💄 The Death of the Clean Girl Aesthetic
Are we witnessing the end of the clean girl era?
Amy and Sasha discuss why the internet seems to be moving away from minimalist perfection and why chaotic, messy, party-girl energy is making a comeback.
🚩 Men Who Were Cheated On Once and Never Recovered
You know the type.
A man gets cheated on at 15 years old and somehow it’s still being used as evidence in every relationship conversation 20 years later.
Amy and Sasha discuss why some people use past relationship trauma as an explanation for their behaviour without ever actually doing anything to heal from it.
📚 Boy Sober?
This week’s obsession is It’s Not Love, Actually by Dee Selman.
After listening to the audiobook, Amy and Sasha discuss the concept of being “boy sober,” why everyone seems to be talking about it right now, and whether removing men from the equation might actually be the key to inner peace.
Will they be committing to a boy sober era?
The answer may disappoint you.
