The Costco Test: Special Episode with Friends is our first-ever guest episode — and we couldn't have picked a better couple to kick it off. We're joined by our friends Jessica and Pash for a conversation that's equal parts profound and fun, exploring what keeps love steady, what keeps it spicy, and the everyday "tests" that reveal who you really are together. Plus: rapid-fire questions, real laughs, and a few truths you'll be inspired by.

Are Men the Weaker Sex? Does the pressure to "be strong" actually make men weaker?

In this episode, Dr. Gary Penn and Jeannine Chanin Penn unpack what strength really looks like in modern relationships—why some men are floundering, how overcompensating can become a chase for validation, and why trying to "crush" your partner is never strength.

We also get into the questions couples wrestle with: Are men and women supposed to be equal—and what does "equal" look like day to day? Do traditional values still matter? And in dating, how often do confidence, self-assurance, and real happiness actually show up?

When you're in the middle of an argument, it's easy to get laser-focused on winning—proving your point, landing the final word, protecting your pride. But the person across from you isn't the enemy… they're the one who knows how to steady you, soften you, and help you heal. In this episode, Dr. Gary Penn and Jeannine Chanin Penn talk about what it means to fight for each other, not against each other—how to stay on the same team when emotions run high, how to repair faster, and how to turn conflict into connection instead of collateral damage. Listen in, laugh with us, and take one new tool into your next hard moment—so love wins more often than ego.

In their first episode, Dr. Gary Penn and Jeannine Chanin Penn share the story of how they met in their 50s — when love wasn't exactly easy to find. They talk about the realities of dating later in life, the emotional baggage we all bring, the mysterious "8 date rule," and what it really means to feel like you've come home to someone. It's honest, funny, and a little miraculous — just like the love story they never saw coming. Listen in, laugh with us, and maybe reflect on your own version of home.
