A VERY special episode! From seaweed, rice, and pickled radish to lunchbox embarrassment and healing after heartbreak, Kevin and Nick make some Korean food, share personal stories, and of course there's some relationship talk. Also, we recap last week's group date! Follow the process from ingredient prep to the final taste test, and stay for an honest discussion about building healthier relationships. Also, Jessica Woo @sulheejessica joins the show to judge our work!

Kimmie sends Nick and Kevin a video that kicks off a debate: is dating supposed to be fun and self-discovering, or does that mindset let good people slip away? From there the guys get into the messy real stuff: what to even call your partner, whether you should change your last name when you get married, why "limerence" isn't the same as love, and how growing up around divorce quietly rewires what we expect from relationships.

In the back half, it's about the emotional labor of showing up for someone: comfort vs. fixing, who leads, vulnerable narcissism, and healing your inner child inside a relationship instead of around it.

This one gets personal, so let us know which side of the debate you're on.

Nick Cho and Kevin Kreider open up about Asian masculinity, dating, and identity, from growing up feeling ugly for being Asian, to Kevin's shirtless-modeling years at Abercrombie, a regretted plastic surgery, and what it's really like to be typecast as "the sidekick" in Hollywood. Producer Kimmie Chan joins the conversation as the guys break down white normativity, what an "ABG" actually is, how we treat Black people, and whether you should ever Google your date before meeting them. Plus: Nick and Kimmie set up Kevin on a big date tonight!
