We back. Start your week all over the place w/ Let's Not Be Trash.

Stanley and Evan are rabble rousin for the first 10 minutes of the show and then remember they have a podcast to do. Unfortunately, our great interview with Social Worker and Political Strategist, Natalia Alfonso was technically challenged. Remember, we still type broke.

But her comments made it to the show's discussion

The Superbowl, Latino influence and diaspora, black history, Valentines, & Singles Awareness Day (SAD), Only Fans Accounts (OFA), pressure to "settle" in relationships, and Sachel Page are discussed.

As you can see, your boys got layers.

Corrections: Edgar Renteria was born in Baranquilla, Colombia--not Cartagena.

Evan and Stanley answer listener questions on the illegitimate continued perception--and valuation--of the male "player" in 2020, why people flake online, unfair assessments of women's emotions, how we can hold space for grief and trauma, Kobe, his family, fans, and survivors of sexual assault, and then, reflect on a year of writing, podcasting, and listening through Let's Not Be Trash.

Stanley and Evan address topics and questions brought up by friends and listeners, starting with how to suggest that a partner should get more exercise, breaking the news to a partner the desire for an open relationship--then receive literal breaking news about the death of Kobe Bryant.

After addressing the immediate impact, especially to Stanley, whose favorite athlete is Kobe, they try to move on to the rest of the topics including:

society valuing narcissism in dating and how it shows up on a nearly clinical level;

the epidemic not understanding the female orgasm;

going from a long term relationship right to new one;

how to effectively, and decently and strike up a conversation in the "#MeToo" era;

how online dating complicates communicating certain important personal details early on to a potential partner.

Evan meets with Avi Klein from "Hey, Man" podcast.

They discuss how they got into their work, why it's important for men to discuss masculinity, #MeToo, how awkward moments are vital to healthy relationships, and how to "call men in" to the fold.

Stanley and Evan discuss bail reform, the Sanders-Warren feud, whether we as men should accept the label of "sexist," the occasional misappropriation of toxic masculinity, and current Let's Not Be Trash literature.

On this special episode of Let's Not Be Trash Stanley and Evan interview State Senator Alessandra Biaggi. We discuss:

- The transition from being candidate to elected - and your journey entering politics.
- Why the woman’s reproductive rights act was so important? And what it took to pass.
- Navigating in a space that can be a "boys club" & how she's seen sexism in her life and career?
- Taking on the governor and his campaign contributions
- How can we (men, constituents) support you and your initiatives.
