  • Quarantine: What Fresh Hell is This?

  • People Watching: Yeah, Somebody Saw That
    Be it at an airport, a food court or a nice, fancy restaurant, there’s no shortage of venues for the Deeply Shallow hosts to indulge in one of their favorite casual pastimes: people watching.

In this episode, Matt and Tara discuss their favorite people-watching moments, reflect on the times they’ve been the subject of people watching themselves, and call themselves out on their own vehicular bad habits.

    Valentine’s Day is coming up this Friday, so Matt and Tara are doing you a favor by reminding you to buy a gift for your significant other if you haven’t done so already—and yes, we know some of you probably forgot. But Valentine’s Day makes for a good excuse for your hosts to talk the ins and outs of love, dating and trying not to drive each other crazy. For this episode, they discuss what kinds of Valentine’s gifts they are (and are not) fans of, look back on how their definitions of love have changed over the years, and why they still believe in love at first sight.
