37 min - S2E3: Have We Fallen Out Of Love With Reality TV Dating Shows?
From The Bachelor to Married At First Sight, there was a time when Josie and Mel were obsessed with any and all reality TV dating shows. But in 2022, they've lost interest - and they're wondering why. Expect chats about the ethics of watching people get totally humiliated on national TV, to whether Insta-fame has ruined the "realness" of these shows (or contributed to their success?)

46 min - S2E2: Love Bombing And The Chaos Of Dating Right Now
Love bombing has been the dating term of 2022 thanks to the now-viral 'The Movie Star & Me' Medium story by Domenica Feraud. But what does love bombing look like in general dating culture? We argue that it's not always a conscious manipulation tactic - but it still sucks to be on the receiving end. Also, fake tattoos! Corn chip obsession! Talking incessantly about someone who burned you over a year ago on multiple podcast platforms! Mel is basically Taylor Swift (podcast version).

51 min - S1E9: Life Is Just Cooking Dinner Every Night Until You Die
If there's one task that makes life feel tedious (besides cleaning the toot), it's making dinner. From finding ways to jazz up tired recipes, to cooking on a budget, it's just an exhausting, frustrating process that we're frankly over, big time. But unless you're J.Lo and can afford a private chef (please, god) it's a huge part of life - and annoyingly, still kind of falls to the women a lot of the time. This ep is basically just us whinging about cooking, cleaning up after cooking, kids that hate our cooking and us begging you for new recipes.
