Wils Pelton and Josh Gondelman swap a small-world dating story and weigh in on a very questionable dinner table gadget.

What You’ll Hear:

A match, a mix-up, a shared vacation: Wils recounts a dating app coincidence that might turn into a weeklong getaway with a near-stranger—and why it’s both funny and slightly risky.

Would you record your dinner table?: A listener brings a new gadget into question, and the conversation turns to privacy, practicality, and whether some moments are better left unrecorded.

When you don’t know your own favorites: Thoughtful advice for anyone who’s ever shaped their answers to please others—and how to gently start figuring out what you actually like.
