Modern romance done wrong. A dating podcast from two guys who definitely shouldn't have a dating podcast.

    Closure: The Season Finale

    Closure: The Season Finale

    When some ghosts from Tom's past return in dramatic fashion, the boys realize they have no choice but to resurrect senior relationship expert correspondent Kait Emery to inject once again some much-needed wisdom into their well-intentioned mania and neuroses.

    [NOTE: For the full context of these stories, please listen to episodes 13-15 of season two.]

    It's been a long season, y'all. We laughed. We cried. We contracted (and importantly, cured) chlamydia. But things are coming to a stop here for a little bit while we regain our sanity and maybe kiss a person or two off mic for a bit. Thank you all for continuing to listen as we publicize our ignorance. Thank you to our guests, Dr. Deanna Richards, Rachel Kidd, Will Gleason, Laura and Dylan Petro, Lindsey Metselaar, Ben Goodman, Peter A., Tori Piskin, Kait Emery, Dr. Maggie Dancel, B & L, James Petrine, Pete and Josh, and then Kait Emery again.

    See you again soon!

    Pete and Josh, hosts of Poe Boys, a Star Wars podcast

    Pete and Josh, hosts of Poe Boys, a Star Wars podcast

    Tom, not able to take the idea of asking Tucker another single question about his dating life, decides to hop on a train out of the city to catch up with his old friends and hosts of the Poe Boys podcast, Pete and Josh. Together, they know nearly everything about Star Wars and absolutely nothing about how to successfully navigate the world of modern dating.

    There's truly no group of less qualified people for a dating podcast and yet here we are, telling you how long you should wait to tell someone you're interested in about your nerdy passions, giving a look into what it's like to date as a catholic, and finally asking what the hell coffee meets bagel is all about.

    Don't forget to follow Poe Boys on Twitter if you're even slightly interested in whats happening in the world of Star Wars. And if you're into it, leave a review on iTunes!

    Kissin' dudes, dating profile review, and shout outs

    Kissin' dudes, dating profile review, and shout outs

    Tucker and Tom decide to let their natural charisma take over to talk about something other than kissin' ladies for a change... and end up talking about kissin' dudes. They talk about the motivation behind casual smooching, the difference between finding someone attractive and being attracted to them, and try to leave a little hope open for all the fans shipping a Tucker-Tom romance story.

    Then phones get traded and dating profiles get a hard review. Pictures scrutinized and answers shredded. Finally, by popular demand, Tom revives closing segment Shout Outs to give props to some particularly good profiles on Hinge.

The Best Pod Since Stuff You Should Know

1. This opened my eyes to the users of dating apps, as I myself am just beginning to embark on this journey I found it quite useful.

2. I’m fine with the poop!

3. Tom, be nice to Tucker.

💩

I’d like to hear more about poop. Have you considered a pivot?

@Burrito ,

You're Correct. Bumble is a Dumpster Fire.

Thank you for shining a light on how Bumble is the fracking WORST, for both men and women alike. It's a dumpster fire of a dating app and does not deserve its street cred. - A fellow-UMW-alum subscriber
