Summary

We're back just like we said we would and honestly? We have some thoughts.

This week, we're unpacking a wild (but very real) stat about marriage and how women somehow end up doing more work at home. Like… how did we get here? From there, Dex opens up about her dating life and what it looks like to date with intention think pizza nights, bubble baths, and the question we're all asking: is this real love or just a vibe?

Carla taps in with a full recap of Love Is Blind Season 10 (because of course we had to), and let's just say… opinions were formed. Then we get into the ANTM documentary discourse and the internet's hot takes. Are we holding early 2000s reality TV to today's standards a little too hard, or is the criticism valid?

 

It's giving perspective, a little mess, and a lot of so what now?
