This week on Relatable, we somehow go from baby food wins… to true crime… to full-blown conspiracy theories.

We kick things off by celebrating episode 40 and talking about the very real thrill of watching Grayson get more excited about food. Bread, avocado, cauliflower cheese, potatoes? Yes. Apples, blueberries, bananas? Absolutely not.

We also unpack why a recent reel about true crime took off — and why women seem so much more into murder documentaries than men. Sophia explains why she finds true crime so gripping, while Bradley remains deeply confused by the entire genre.

Then we get into the fun stuff:

In this episode, we talk about:

• Why women are so fascinated by true crime
• The viral reel that got people very concerned about Sophia’s “I’d get away with it” energy
• Bradley’s Roman Empire: aliens, pyramids, and ancient civilizations
• Whether aliens built the pyramids
• Area 51 and whether the government is hiding alien life
• The moon landing conspiracy
• The Bermuda Triangle
• Simulation theory
• Flat Earth believers
• Why some conspiracy theories are ridiculous… and others are weirdly convincing

We also cover:

• Bradley’s current reading era and his return to Harry Potter
• Sophia officially embracing co-sleeping
• Why Grayson may or may not prefer Bradley
• The TV shows we thought we loved… and the ones that let us down fast
• The Alexa/Ozempic commercial situation no one asked for

Basically, it’s one of those episodes where we start with babies and end with aliens.

Also mentioned:

• Project Hail Mary
• Harry Potter
• True crime documentaries
• Area 51
• The Bermuda Triangle
• Flat Earth

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 😂

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
