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.

Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of Relatable, we’re talking about everything from Gen Z slang and dating terms to good week / bad week, plus the very unexpected discovery of Bradley’s ear hair.
We kick things off with our weekly catch-up, where Bradley shares a painful back flare-up, Sophia shares the moment she realized they may officially be entering a new era of marriage, and we both talk about how much a little sleep, sunshine, and family help can completely shift your week.
We also get into:
- Bradley’s back pain, recovery, and why getting older is not for the weak
- Sophia’s shocking ear hair discovery while Bradley was folding laundry
- Why finishing our media center feels like a huge life win
- The baby products we didn’t buy — and why we’re so glad we didn’t overdo it
- What we’ve been watching lately, including A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms and Steel
- Why sticky toffee pudding almost became the star of the episode
Then we switch gears into a full-on millennial panic spiral as we try to decode popular Gen Z terms and figure out what the kids are actually saying these days.
We talk about Gen Z slang and viral terms like:
- Ghosting
- Ghostlighting
- Breadcrumbing
- Orbiting
- Zombieing
- Pocketing
- Throning
- Cushioning
- Paperclipping
- Skibidi
- Rizz
- Sigma
- Fanum tax
- Mewing
- Roman Empire
If you’ve ever wondered:
- What does skibidi mean?
- What is rizz?
- What does Roman Empire mean on TikTok?
- What are the weirdest Gen Z dating terms?
- Are millennials officially too old to understand internet slang?
…this episode is for you.
We also talk about:
- Why modern dating language feels completely made up
- The difference between millennial dating and Gen Z dating culture
- The trends that genuinely confuse us
- The random things that live in our heads rent-free
- And which phrases sound fake but are somehow real
This one is funny, chaotic, and slightly concerning 😂
