About this episode

The episode discusses the confusion between real intimacy and being seen in the context of modern dating shows and societal expectations.

Real intimacy has gotten confused with being seen. With shows like Love Island, Love Is Blind & others (that we watch + enjoy 😅) shaping how we think about closeness, real intimacy is getting lost in the plot. This week, we get into intimacy in the age of overexposure, talk about what our real-life superpowers are, send some love to NY for the Knicks playoff energy, and a new round of our fave segment "I Don't Like That."
