Meeting someone exotic while traveling is on your bucket list. If you deny this, you’re lying, and today’s guests can prove it. Yue Xu and Julie Krafchick are dating experts -- like, legit -- and as the hosts of Dateable, one of the most popular dating podcasts, they’ve seen and heard it all. On today’s episode, the ladies join Tim and Eben to discuss all things dating and travel.
The conversation gets deeper than your Tinder account (though that’s on the table for discussion) to reveal some of the under-covered but overthought aspects of dating. These include app-based scams that frequent travelers have pulled in order to get laid on the road, super awkward in-flight courtship, and on the opposite side, some happy endings that have resulted from far-flung blind date meetups.
There’s also plenty of revealing moments from their experience as dating pros. These include which dating apps actually work for meeting a long-term partner, which cities are home to the best dating scenes, and stories from some crazy swinger parties. Also, the group gets into their thoughts on polyamory and . . . . . . we still don’t know if it’s worth it.
In Hot Takes, the boys discuss the most controversial of flying topics -- whether or not it’s acceptable to recline your seat. The answer is an emphatic . . . you’ll have to listen to find out. Tim reveals that he rolls his clothes to pack, while Eben is stuck in the era of stacking.
