#243 PEOPLE WHO HAVE WRONGED US: ARE WE TOO PETTY? 02.03.2026 1:24:52
Are we easy to forgive, or is there a dark spirit still festering in our hearts? In this episode, we talk about the people who’ve wronged us, the grudges we swear we’ve moved on from, and the arguments we keep winning in the shower.

#242 MILLENNIALS EXPLAIN DATING: IS LOVE TRANSACTIONAL? 16.02.2026 1:04:52
Is love still about feelings… or are we all just doing cost-benefit analysis now? How transactional is modern dating now? Are we all secretly materialists?
