In episode four of the new season, Sami, Aleen and Jordana are talking all about moving to New York City and what it was like being broke and single in their early twenties. They start with stories from their first apartments in the city, including their battles with cockroaches, gas leaks, and Murray Hill bros. They tell us about the pre-Tinder dating scene and recall in detail the moment dating apps took over (like literally, the actual day the swiping started). They also highlight some of the biggest differences between the city today and what it was like 10 years ago. Then a listener writes in to ask for advice when it comes to leaving your hometown for the first time and moving to the big city. Where do you even start, and how do people make new friends? Finally, they play an NYC-themed game of Never Have I Ever all about of the most common things people do when they visit New York.
