Is romantic bliss just a well-browned chicken thigh away? (Recipe included!)

| 0:40.0 | ten, ex-boyfriends trying to impress their girlfriends, make their hot food, and then put it on cold |
| 0:46.4 | plates. It's a little shivery, and it's just a bad look. That and napkins. Napkins? Yeah. I mean, |

| 1:07.4 | I'm Charles Duhigg. |
| 1:09.3 | Each week, we talk to listeners who are trying to figure out how to |
| 1:12.9 | solve one of life's big problems, like how to withstand pain or how to fire a bad employee. Then we |
