Join me as I interview Denzel Walkes, whose friendship has withstood overly drunken nights and even a slap in the face. He discusses the difficulties of re-acclimating to the relationship world after eight years of unencumbered bachelor life, and candidly addresses the drastic shifts that evolved his attitude from savage to…somewhat less savage. Denzel recounts two wild first Tinder date experiences, and unabashedly critiques my own dating profile photo choices. The episode closes out with a hotly debated game of Would You Rather, during which we earnestly weigh the merits of food vs. sex.
