Team Moms: Baseball stars Erin and Tommy Wolczik join Alexandria Rizik on Love Sex LA: Unfiltered to unpack the Scottsdale reality show, the cast drama viewers saw on screen — and what was happening when the cameras weren’t telling the whole story.
Erin and Tommy reveal how Team Moms: Baseball, executive produced by Kim Kardashian, actually came together, what it was like filming a reality show inside the world of competitive youth baseball, and which friendships existed long before cameras arrived.
They get candid about Nina’s controversial start on the show, the Sedona trip, different parenting styles at LPA, how much pressure is too much when raising young athletes, John getting kicked out of a baseball game, and the now-infamous wine night.
Then, Erin opens up about doing her own research after questions started surfacing around Rylee and Dallas, while Erin and Tommy break down the conversations surrounding the house, the name change, “alternative financing,” and why they ultimately felt the bigger issue was honesty.
And of course, they revisit Tommy’s Western-themed birthday, the confrontation that hijacked the celebration, Joey’s role in the chaos, what was happening while Tommy was off riding the mechanical bull, and why Tommy says he still wouldn’t change the night.
Plus: Erin and Tommy reveal where everyone stands today, their relationships with the rest of the Team Moms: Baseballcast, whether things are awkward off camera, their new podcast, and a rapid-fire round naming the biggest instigator, most competitive parent, most dramatic cast member and more.
Before all the baseball drama, Erin and Tommy also take on Date or Ghost, weighing in on dating someone with no furniture, keeping photos of an ex on Instagram, changing your last name, your friends hating your partner — and putting vodka in wine.
Love Sex LA: Unfiltered is hosted by Alexandria Rizik and features candid conversations about dating, relationships, pop culture, reality TV, entertainment, wellness and the stories people don’t always tell publicly.

Angelica Jensen from Bravo’s Vanderpump Rules Season 12 joins Alexandria Rizik on Love Sex LA: Unfiltered to share her side of the Jason Cohen and Shayne Davis drama—and what viewers didn’t see behind her reality TV edit.
From the night at Barney’s Beanery to the penis pump controversy, Angelica revisits the moments that had everyone talking. She explains why she says dating Shayne wasn’t revenge on Jason, opens up about the cringey car scene that was hardest to watch back, and shares where she stands with Audrey Lingle after their fallout.
Behind the drama, Angelica was navigating a painful breakup while still living with her ex. She gets candid about how that relationship affected her confidence and what it felt like to experience rejection on camera. She also shares an update on her relationship with Chase, a.k.a. “LAX Boy,” including why she wants to wait until she’s engaged before living together.
We also get into her life before SUR: growing up with a single dad, studying psychobiology at UCLA, and the career paths she explored before reality TV. Plus, Angelica talks about her boob job, her Hims ads, becoming close with Venus Binkley, why she’s taken a step back from her friendship with Kim Suarez, and whether she would return for Vanderpump Rules Season 13.
And, of course, we play Date or Ghost and finish with a Vanderpump Rules cast rapid fire: the biggest flirt, the most loyal friend, and the person she wouldn’t trust with a secret.

90 Day Fiancé star Kara Bass joins Alexandria Rizik on Love Sex LA: Unfiltered for an unfiltered conversation about life after her marriage to Guillermo Rojer, returning to reality TV on 90 Day: Hunt for Love, and how her experience on 90 Day Fiancé and 90 Day: The Last Resort completely changed the way she approaches relationships.
Kara opens up about why she believes being on reality TV exposed the cracks in her marriage faster, why she now values actions over words, and what dating looks like as a single mom. She also reveals where things currently stand with Guillermo, the realities of their hot-and-cold co-parenting relationship, and why she says she may have been “way too kind” to him on The Last Resort.
Plus, Kara talks about entering her self-described “Kara era,” taking another chance on love, separating chemistry from compatibility, whether she would ever get married again, potentially having more children, and what she actually wants from a man now.
The conversation also gets into Kara’s life beyond 90 Day Fiancé — including her adult-content business, launching her own adult product, turning criticism into a business opportunity, her post-breakup glow-up, and her move into English pop music with her upcoming song “Freak Bitch.”
And of course, Kara plays Date or Ghost and closes out the episode with rapid-fire dating questions about red flags, green flags, older men, making the first move, masculinity, and why she believes women are much simpler than people make them out to be.

Why do you keep dating the same person in a different body? Why does an unanswered text send you spiraling? And how do you stop confusing someone’s attention with an actual connection?
Sabrina Zohar returns to Love Sex LA: Unfiltered with host Alexandria Rizik to unpack anxious attachment, avoidant attachment, texting anxiety, and the relationship patterns that keep us stuck. Discussing her book, Why Am I Like This?, Sabrina explores how childhood experiences and core beliefs can shape who we choose, what we tolerate, and why we sometimes abandon ourselves to feel chosen.
Sabrina gets honest about sending 173 text messages to a guy she wasn’t exclusive with, falling for potential, and the lessons she’s learned in her relationship with her partner, Ryan. She shares her perspective on why inconsistent attention can feel so compelling, how texting can create a false sense of intimacy, and the difference between a calm connection that feels unfamiliar and someone you genuinely aren’t interested in.
Alexandria and Sabrina also explore the anxious-avoidant dynamic, whether avoidant partners can change, and why understanding your attachment style isn’t the same as taking responsibility for your behavior. Sabrina breaks down her “bullshit blueprint” and what changing your patterns can look like in everyday life—from pausing before reacting to having the conversations you’ve been avoiding.
Plus, Date or Ghost and listener questions on sex before exclusivity, when to define the relationship, and what it means when someone likes every Instagram story but never makes a plan.
An honest, funny, no-BS conversation about dating with intention, setting boundaries, and learning to stop losing yourself in the pursuit of a relationship.

What does it actually take to change your life?
Michael Chernow—entrepreneur, wellness expert, and founder of Kreatures of Habit—joins Alexandria Rizik to talk about the habits, discipline, and consistency that helped him rebuild his life after addiction and ultimately build multiple successful businesses.
Michael breaks down why discipline matters more than motivation, his approach to the 80/20 rule, morning routines, fitness, nutrition, creatine, entrepreneurship, and why becoming too rigid about wellness can actually work against you.
He also opens up about his years as a professional bodybuilder, what addiction and recovery taught him about behavior, why lifestyle compatibility matters in relationships, and his belief that progress—not perfection—is success.
If you’re trying to build better habits, become more disciplined, improve your health, start a business, or reinvent your life, this episode is a reminder that you don’t need to have everything figured out.
You just have to keep moving.

Has modern dating actually made women happier — or have hookup culture, dating apps, and the pressure to “have it all” left a generation questioning what empowerment is supposed to look like?
This week on Love Sex LA: Unfiltered, Alexandria sits down with Brittany Hugoboom, founder and editor-in-chief of Evie Magazine, for an unfiltered conversation about modern dating, hookup culture, feminism, marriage, motherhood, traditional relationships, and the decline of the girlboss era.
Brittany breaks down why she believes so many women are rethinking the rules they were given about sex, relationships, careers, and independence — and why terms like “girlboss” and “trad wife” may no longer capture what modern women actually want.
They get into whether feminism has unintentionally contributed to loneliness, why hookup culture may not be delivering the freedom women were promised, waiting to have sex in relationships, masculine and feminine relationship dynamics, 50/50 dating, body count, attraction versus compatibility, and why more women seem to be craving marriage, family, and a softer life without giving up their ambition.
Plus, Brittany shares what building Evie Magazine taught her about women, culture, virality, entrepreneurship, and challenging mainstream narratives around modern womanhood.
In this episode:
• Has hookup culture failed women? • Is the girlboss era officially over? • Feminism, loneliness, and modern womanhood • Why women are reconsidering traditional relationships • Dating for marriage vs. casual dating • Waiting to have sex • 50/50 relationships and gender roles • Does “body count” actually matter? • Marriage, motherhood, career, and ambition • Masculinity and femininity in modern relationships • Why dating culture feels so different in 2026 • Brittany Hugoboom on building Evie Magazine and creating viral media
If you’ve ever questioned whether modern dating is actually working — or wondered why traditional relationships are suddenly back in the cultural conversation — this episode is for you.

What do men actually want in modern dating — and are women making dating harder by trying to control the outcome?
Dating coach and Daddy Academy host Niko Emanuilidis returns to Love Sex LA: Unfiltered for an unfiltered conversation with Alexandria Rizik about how to date like a man, why men pull away, masculine and feminine dynamics, attraction, sex, commitment, and the dating behaviors that can make or break a relationship.
Niko breaks down why a woman can make the first move — but why what a man does after that matters more. They talk about what healthy pursuit actually looks like, why inconsistent behavior shouldn't be confused with normal dating, and how women can take control of their dating lives without chasing a man or forcing a relationship forward.
Alexandria and Niko also get into dating apps, modern hookup culture, when to have sex in a new relationship, exclusivity, performance anxiety, body count, male and female friendships, long-distance relationships, boundaries, anxious dating patterns, and knowing when to walk away.
Plus, Niko explains why appreciation and admiration matter to men, what he means by “leaning into wifey,” and why the right relationship should leave you feeling secure rather than constantly questioning where you stand.
In this episode:• How to “date like a man” without playing games• Why men pull away in the early stages of dating• Should women make the first move?• The difference between showing interest and chasing• Masculine vs. feminine energy in relationships• What men actually want from women• Why appreciation and admiration matter to men• Dating apps vs. meeting men in real life• When should you have sex with someone you're dating?• Sex, exclusivity and performance anxiety• Why boundaries matter in modern relationships• How to stop anxious dating behaviors• Can men and women really be best friends?• When long-distance relationships can actually work• Why being willing to walk away changes your dating life• And a round of Date or Ghost
