NEEDS TO BE STUDIED PODCAST
Welcome to Needs to be Studied, the podcast where we unapologetically dive into the wild world of sex, mental health, dating, and relationships. Hosted by the one and only Billy The Bad Guy, we're here to explore all the things your momma warned you about—but with way more laughs and a lot less judgment.
Each week, we bring on guests who spill the tea on their love lives, mental breakdowns, and all the juicy details in between. No topic is off-limits, and no story is too wild. Whether you’re dodging red flags, navigating a situationship, or just trying to keep your sanity in check, we’ve got you covered.
We’re here to remind you that no one has it all figured out, and that’s perfectly okay. So grab your favorite drink, sit back, and get ready to laugh, cringe, and maybe even learn a thing or two.

Are You in Love With Them — Or Just Their Best Behavior? (Do You Really Know Your Partner?)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Are you really in love… or are you in love with the version they’ve been performing?
In this completely unplanned episode, Billy is joined last minute by his friends Wolf, Scrappy, and Renny for a raw, unfiltered conversation about love, relationships, and whether you can truly be in love without seeing all sides of someone — the good, the bad, and the dark.
We talk about:
- Falling for someone’s “representative”
- What happens when the mask drops
- Can you love someone you haven’t fully experienced?
- Is love possible without conflict?
- Are we loving potential instead of reality?
- When do you actually know someone?
- Why people hide certain sides early in dating
- Our personal experiences with loving the “wrong version” of someone
This episode feels like sitting in on a late-night group chat with your friends — honest, funny, uncomfortable, and real.
If you’ve ever wondered:
“Do I actually know the person I’m in love with?”
…this conversation is for you.
Because maybe…
it’s not love.
Maybe it’s just their best behavior.
