What happens when the Red Flags guy, the Sip & Spill/Covid Morning guy, the Vitagen guy, and that viral fat song comedian walk onto a podcast set?

This week, three married people stage a soft intervention on our proudly single friend — who’s fully ready to skip dating and check herself straight into an old folks home.

And if someone hot and emotionally stable wanted to wife you up… would you still be anti-marriage? It’s not a debate. It’s not a roast. It’...
