45. Why Are Men?

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2517425/fan_mail/new] why are men… i did not raise these men but here i am, full-time translator. a man wore patti smith's face to a date and didn't know her name. another wore cargo shorts to a french bistro. one mid-act in murray hill said "ravishing" — with vibrato. also: the pentagon is now the "department of war." the white house emailed a reporter an alien emoji. a family in vegas filed a 911 report on a 10-foot non-human entity in their backyard. we close on the hardest version of the question — a divorced mom watching her ex-husband become dad of the year six months after the marriage ended. this is part one. part two next week. ihearyoubabepod@gmail.com [ihearyoubabepod@gmail.com] 🍋⚖️ Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2517425/support]

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2517425/fan_mail/new] the red flag support group is now in session. hi my name is dino, i saw the red flag, and i waved back. some of us waved enthusiastically. some of us decorated the flag. some of us asked the red flag to move in and then acted surprised when it was still a red flag inside our apartment. this week: seven dates with a man who loved his ex more than her. the waiter who knew before she did. the woman who thought she was the exception to "women are too dramatic." a friendship that ended not with a fight but with enough cancelled plans that there was nothing left to cancel. a hiring manager who presented someone else's idea as her own while making eye contact. a man who called therapy a crutch — she did not tell him he was the reason she needed it. and a closer from a woman who didn't ignore her red flags. she decorated them. and lost both the relationship and the story she'd built around it. also: april in new york and it is FREEZING. jay shetty's wedding officiant era. shots at the white house correspondents' dinner. carly aquilino forever. full-time feeler. part-time hater. weekly voice note. send your mess to ihearyoubabepod@gmail.com [ihearyoubabepod@gmail.com]. 🚩 Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2517425/support]
