The State of Straight Dating Remains Desperate
from We're Obsessed · host The Ringer
Jodi and Nora kick off the pod by reporting on the fresh set of recalls we’ve experienced this week. Then, they talk about some man news, including "Pablo Pledgescobar" at Penn State, Jason Kelce’s new pee-based venture, and the Goose AI controversy. Next, they dive deep into the New York Times’s recent feature, “Inside the World of High-End Matchmaking,” why the state of straight dating seems so desperate, and what’s up with the phrase “geez-o-petes.” Finally, they note two further viral instances of “geez-o-petes,” and each share their personal obsessions for the week.00:00 A fresh set of recalls10:49 Pablo Pledgescobar19:38 Jason Kelce wants your pee29:36 Goose AI controversy43:52 NYT’s “Inside the World of High-End Matchmaking”1:16:25 “Geez-o-petes”1:22:07 Personal obsessionsHosts: Jodi Walker and Nora PrinciottiProducer: Sasha AshallEngineers: Lucy Brick and Remy Hernandez Learn more about your ad choices.
