Dino is recording with a stye today. He showed up anyway.

This week: a sidewalk tarot reader rolling a booger mid-reading, thoughts on Melania, and why the number of unsolved murders in this country is actually unhinged. Dino is on the case. He does not have a badge.

Then the inbox. Seven months of "same." A spreadsheet with a vibe rating column. Kind of my person, in a general sense. And the woman who's still in it and knows exactly why she's staying.

Three more emails drop on Patreon tomorrow.

Hello and welcome back to I Hear You, Babe. This week we're talking about the friendship breakup — not the dramatic kind with a fight and a moment you can point to, but the slow kind. The one where you look up one day and realize the person you used to call about everything has become someone you see four times a year and call it fine.

Before the emails, Dino talks about Canyon Ranch (and how the other half lives), a feature in Athleisure Magazine, the SaltDrop rebrand that's coming, and a big idea he's been sitting on — the Babe Network. If you have a podcast idea you've been holding onto, this is your sign to send it in.

Then we get into the inbox. A group chat that fires twice a year and is held together entirely by heart emojis. A best friend who keeps referencing the earlier draft of you like she wants you to go back. A ghost — the slow-motion kind, and the guilt that has nowhere to go. A twenty-two year history that feels like a debt you don't know how to stop paying. A friendship that wasn't built for who you both became. The friend who needs more than you have. The one who peaked in 2017 and has been living off the Portugal story ever since. And a closer that will make you think about someone you haven't called in four months.

Dino's been sober for seven days, just made a hard business decision, and is somehow still at the studio on a Sunday morning with a 7-Eleven coffee. That's the vibe.

This week we're talking about ambition — specifically whose dream you've actually been chasing. Dino gets into the SaltDrop origin story, what it really costs to build something from scratch versus directing someone else's vision, and why losing Dude a few months ago has a way of making you ask what any of it is actually for.

Then we get into the inbox. And babe — you all delivered.

A consultant who's been standing outside a bookshop every Saturday morning for years and finally said it out loud. A wellness entrepreneur with a sage green color palette and 47 views on her best day who is now a therapist. A Filipino mom who let go of her version of her daughter in four seconds. A florist who got the promotion, sat in her car, felt nothing, and left eight months later. A first-gen kid performing success for an audience that already went home. And a dancer who stopped at 24 and just got back on the barre on Tuesday nights — not to be good at it, just to be in the room.

One more email is coming to Patreon. You'll want to hear it.

Next week's prompt: the little things that irk you. Send your stories to IHearYouBabePod@gmail.com.

I hear you. I got you.
