Über diesen Titel

Hosted by Rachel Yu, Yu Up? is a late-night sleepover podcast where nothing’s off-limits. Each episode kicks off with, “What’s keeping you up tonight?” and unravels into unfiltered chats about dating, sex, girlhood, and all the messy, hilarious stuff you’d whisper to your best friend in the dark. Hosted literally under the covers in Rachel's 90’s teen-girl-inspired NYC bedroom — which, fun fact, is a converted living room because she doesn’t even own a couch. So grab your blanket, get cozy… Yu Up?Rachel Yu
  • 21 - Love Bombing Is My Love Language
    Feb 17 2026

    Liz joins Rachel with a wildly patriotic dating strategy: straight girlies should date moderate men on Hinge and convert them “for the good of the country.” What starts as a bit turns into a chaotic debate about manipulation as civic duty, alpha vs. handyman men, why no one in New York stands up on the subway, and whether picking someone up from the airport is the ultimate green flag. They also unpack bridesmaid cult economics, bachelor party boot camps, and the terrifying rise of men who make personal dating websites with their net worth listed.

    Then things take a sharp left into love bombing, situationships, and falling in love fast and hard. Liz tells the full rom-com story of meeting a 6'4 Greek improv god, kissing before speaking, and raising her romantic standards forever. They talk about raising your bar, dating across cultures, whether opposites attract or exhaust, and why hot girls absolutely have stuffed animals on their beds. Political, emotional, delusional, and deeply sincere — just another night at the slumber party.

  • 20 - Just Ghost Me. It's Better Than Closure
    Feb 9 2026

    Arjun joins Rachel with a hot take that immediately divides the room: if you’ve been on fewer than four dates and you’re not interested, just ghost. No “I’m not feeling it,” no delayed closure, no fake emotional maturity three days later. They break down why waiting is worse than silence, how everyone mentally processes rejection before it even happens, and why a late “kind” text actually hurts more than being ignored.

    From there, the conversation spirals into dating timelines, texting anxiety, age gaps, New York dating math, hot people ecosystems, and why “it’s not you, it’s me” is the biggest lie in human history. They debate shallow honesty, lying to protect feelings, Android’s unhinged follow-up reminders, and the radical belief that if someone is emotionally mature enough to reject you properly… you would’ve been perfect together. Chaotic, validating, and painfully real — like group therapy, but meaner and funnier.

  • 19 - Becoming Famous Is My Sexual Orientation
    Feb 2 2026

    Charles joins Rachel with a simple but controversial thesis: gay people deserve the right to be famous — especially him. From there, the conversation spirals into queer celebrity entitlement, “platinum star gay” lore, cooties, vaginal terror, and whether straight people should even be allowed privacy. They unpack fame as a sexuality, queer fishing, gold vs. platinum stars, and why not wanting fame might actually mean you’re straight.

    Somehow, this turns into a surprisingly deep conversation about surrogacy, frozen embryos, ethical science, and the future of making gay babies in labs. Along the way: barbershop survival tactics, lying to straight men, learning Mandarin and Russian curse words, foot fetishes on Grindr, comedy industry delusion, manifesting success, and a legally binding blood pact to make each other famous. Chaotic, sincere, unhinged — and very gay.
