EP1: Rejection 101: Laughing Through “No”
Manage episode 513989147 series 3696007
Tonight on Dirty Couch, Silkbone Jones and the Crew go all the way in on rejection—dating, jobs, family, and the messy ways people dodge a “no.” We trade outrageous stories (from stalker vibes to prom refusals), talk Hollywood’s “just keep trying” myth, and get real about how rejection can harden you or grow you. We veer into gym-sauna horror, racial double standards, and what healthy venting looks like in real relationships. It’s unfiltered, funny, and uncomfortably honest—exactly how the couch sits.
What you’ll hear
• Rejection as a skill: taking “no” without folding
• Stalker lines crossed—real safety talk for women
• Hollywood persistence vs respecting boundaries
• Race, workplace power, and “you’re a threat” bias
• Partners venting: don’t check out, check in
• Owning your part in a breakup (no victim cosplay)
