Emma is joined by comedian and actor Vir Das to talk about the differences between Indian and American conceptions of masculinity, boarding school corporal punishment, volatile relationships, and dancing at Indian weddings. In the Why Do Men? Segment, Vir helps a listener who is worried that men don't relate to feelings of anxiety the same way that women do. Then, Emma asks Vir anything from embarrassing memories, to winning arguments, and hacking minimalist travel. Emma shares her dilemma about feeling anger after getting bodychecked. Finally, they wrap with a lightning round about being real, treating yourself, and settling down.
