Journalist Charly Edsitty joins the chat to share what's been going on in tribal communities that mainstream media misses--including a fight for water. And finally, Gabe dishes on his new day-job.

Gabe and Allison worry about their attention spans. Then, the duo gives advice to someone wondering about reconciling with a former friend and creative partner with whom they no longer want to be as close. Next, Julie and Yue of the Dateable Podcast join the show to nerd out about modern dating, ways to find more success on the apps, the misconceptions and why “icks” don’t allow for real relationships. In Hypotheticals, Gabe somehow manages to make it about blackmail. And finally, anxiety triggers.
