What does it even mean to be looking for a "soul mate" after 40? Too much rom-com brainwashing? Excessive over-emphasis on pair bonding as the only route to emotional fulfillment? Or a genuine human need indestructible in the age of an over 50% divorce rate? #DoBetterDrugs

Join Blake and Bonnie as they chat about soul mates, true love and other somewhat destructive love lies and what does it all mean when you're navigating dating in a world beyond Julia Roberts/Cute-Meet/Love-at-first-sight and other nonsense.

Everybody's got a type, but does clinging to the idea of your ideal or preferred partner image reflect your real desires or just your most familiar habit? Is going after your "type" even rational once you're over 40? #ILikeEmCrazy

Likewise, is anyone "out of your league" when you're over 40? If so - #WTF? Blake and Bonnie explore the rabbit holes of types, major vs minor league insecurities and who is the more shallow human. #HeDidIt #SheDidIt

Are you an accomplished flirt like Blake? An intense interrogator like Bonnie? Are you a creepy flirt still using lines made popular in high school locker rooms? Does your eye contact game resemble the piercing stare of a maniac? #KnowThyself 

What kind of flirting makes sense when you're over 40? Is flirting free and easy, or a sign of deep psychological issues leading to long term relationship problems? What would Dolly Parton do? #WWDPD

Are poly people more evolved humans than us? Probably. Does monogamy ever work? Doubtful. Do Blake and Bonnie have the slightest idea about whether they want a poly relationship or an undying vow of sexual fidelity forever? #Nope

Listen while they explore why polyamory is intimidating and attractive; monogamy seems like giving in to the patriarchy; emotional cheating is still cheating and why it all comes down to how confusing life becomes when a person is no longer looking for semen demons or crotch goblins. #RealThingsBlakeHasSaid

Episode 2 asks the late-80s age-old question: Can exes really be friends? I mean, really? Uh, are Blake and Bonnie really just pretending to be over each other and secretly playing Careless Whisper from a boom box outside of each's bedroom windows? #Creepy 

But for real, we learn how Blake and Bonnie went from break-up to boozy blabbermouths recording a podcast together, and why that might not be such a bad idea. #TotallyBadIdea

First episode explores the question: If your romantic partner stops climaxing in bed, does that mean he's cheating? Or uninterested in you? Or secretly turned on by Taylor Swift thrash metal cover bands and Mr. Rogers puppets? Blake and Bonnie explore what it means when one half of the equation stops being able to come - and what that means, when you're dating in your 40s.  - Episode inspired by Evan Williams Black Label Bourbon
