They explore how dating norms have evolved over the decades, from the formal dates and curfews of the 50s to the advent of online dating in the 90s and the casual nature of dating apps today. The trio also delves into personal anecdotes about past relationships, marriage, and the challenges of household responsibilities. The episode includes an advice segment responding to questions from Reddit and ends on a light note with each host sharing something that's currently bringing them joy.
