#206 Never Been Loved

Author: Erica Spera and Teresa DeGaetano October 29, 2025 Duration: 58:15

E & T are back this week and Erica is fresh off her bestie's wedding weekend. They discuss the JLo Howard Stern interview where she claims she has "never been truly loved". Then they discuss a recent article "The Rise of the Avoidant Woman" and their thoughts on if women are truly being avoidant or if they are simply setting higher standards and stronger boundaries while dating. The gals then discuss some of their own frustrations with dating lately. The end of the episode features a Patreon Preview.

Ever feel like you need a good, long chat with friends who aren't afraid to say the weird thing out loud? That's the vibe of Two Stand-Up Gals. Comedians Erica Spera and Teresa DeGaetano have turned their backstage conversations into a weekly audio hangout, where nothing is off-limits. You'll hear them workshop new jokes, dissect the latest celebrity gossip, and share candid stories from the trenches of stand-up life, all while venting about whatever's bugging them that week. It's a space for honest talk about body image, creative struggles, and the general absurdity of existing, delivered with the ease of a long-term friendship. This podcast, formerly known as Shooters Gotta Shoot, captures the unfiltered and real dynamic of two comics figuring it all out, one laugh at a time. Tune in for the feeling of pulling up a chair at their kitchen table, where the conversation is always flowing and the comedy is genuinely organic.
