Relatable with The Roses
If you've ever wondered how other couples actually navigate the hard conversations, balance demanding careers without losing each other, or just survive the beautiful chaos of building a life together - you've found your people.
Each week, Bradley (Peloton instructor) and Sophia (business owner) invite you into Casa Rose for the conversations couples have behind closed doors but rarely admit to having. We're talking raw, honest talks about marriage, money, ambition, family planning, and all the messy human stuff you think about in the shower but never say out loud.
Think of it as being a fly on the wall with your most transparent friends. You'll hear them tackle listener questions, share real-time stories from their actual life, get advice from experts who know what they're talking about, and yes - even crash their double dates with some faces you might recognize. This is your all-access pass to a relationship that's figured out how to keep it real and keep it fun.
Welcome to Relatable - where perfect is boring and honest is everything.
Relatable with The Roses
Ep 38 | Winter Olympics Hot Takes, Punch the Monkey Tears, and 10,000 condoms
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In Episode 38 of Relatable, Sophia and Bradley bounce from Olympic obsession to random UK culture shocks, then dive into Good Week / Bad Week before finishing with a hilarious round of couples questions that reveal… a lot.
We chat about:
- Feeling wildly inspired by Olympic athletes (and why figure skating has Sophia in a chokehold)
- Bradley’s pick for a Winter Olympic event (spoiler: he’s oddly confident)
- The darker side of elite sports + athletes setting boundaries (and why that’s so powerful)
- A truly unhinged Olympics “fun fact” that sends the convo off the rails
- The internet’s obsession with Punch the monkey and why Sophia is emotionally invested
- A potential Relatable Movie Club (book club vibes… but for people who don’t read)
- Good Week: Bradley’s on holiday + making Brighton plans (seaside town, pebble beach trauma included)
- Sophia’s “good week” is… sleep and sunshine (and honestly? same)
- A very British family moment: “pop in for 5 minutes” turns into hours… and then the car dies
- Bad Week: the white noise machine “stopped working” (reader: it was the plug)
- Relationship Q’s that get weirdly accurate, including:
- What we’d pack in an apocalypse bag
- What strangers get wrong about us
- If I lost you in a mall…where would I look first?
- Describe me in one sentence
