Summary
A DRAG PATHHHH. This week on the pod, Adam and Katy dive into drag paths, Adam decides he’s purchasing a Hamptons house, and the Hillstone closing rumors send him into a full crash out. We talk paying for Hinge, which naturally leads us into a deep dive on dating older men and a nostalgic stroll down memory lane to our League era. We also ask the hard-hitting question: are first dates actually enjoyable, or are we all pretending? Plus, we weigh in on a listener’s wedding dilemma that has us surprisingly divided. All of that and more on this week’s episode of Match Made in Manhattan.
