We're all on a journey to find true companionship. Some of us have found our co-pilot and some of us haven't. When flying solo, you often have to navigate many asteroid fields ie: dating apps, friend's advice, and awkward situations.

We're sorry for the lack of Don't Read the Trolls segments of late, so we decided to make an entire episode out of an email we were sent. After releasing Episode 79 and 83 (Sexual Harassment and Public Apologies), a female listener sent a valid critique to us, two white dudes who often have our blinders on to the experiences of others. We answered her on this episode, and while our answers definitely don't satisfy the matter, we're encouraged to be able to continue this important conversation.

What happens when you take a single position on how people move up the social ladder? You don't procreate very many great ideas that help populate the spectrum of helpful solutions.
