Episode 29: Shrekking with a Plunger

Send us Fan MailGen Z keeps giving names to things people have always done, and “Shrekking” might be the most revealing one yet: dating someone you’re not attracted to because you think they’ll treat you better. We unpack what that says about modern dating, relationship standards, insecurity, and the stories people tell themselves when they’re tired of being hurt. Then we ask the uncomfortable follow-up: have you ever been the one doing it, or the one being “Shrekked,” and would you even know?The tone shifts when we react to a heartbreaking news story, and it pushes us into a real talk moment about how the internet shapes what we say and how we say it. We get into why words like “killed” get replaced with “unalived,” how algorithms and moderation change public conversation, and why clarity still matters when the topic is serious. From there, we dive into sexual health and relationships, especially the difference between intimacy and sex. Touch, affection, kissing, and closeness are needs on their own, not just a preview for intercourse.Things get wild again with a breakup story that crosses into obsession, plus a viral balcony hookup eviction that turns into a debate about public sex and common sense. We also talk workplace boundaries and why helping someone get hired can blow back on you, and we close out with a music debate around Justin Timberlake vs Bruno Mars, with Usher entering the chat.
