    In this 2 part episode, Damon Dare and Dingbat discuss an old concept being revived with Gen Z, dating to marry, in high school. We discuss this and compare it to Damon Dare's experience as a GenX man who experienced dating in his 20s and how that compares. In part 2, we talk about pre-marital sex; the long held belief of abstaining until marriage - with respect to those in religions who believe abstinence is the right path, vs. a more modern outlook on the practice of safe sex in pre-marital but exclusive dating relationships and why such practice may make sense.

    In this episode, we discuss whether "to beard, or not to beard". Beards aren't right for everyone, and perception among women is a mixed bag. We bring in a fashion/beauty expert to help us understand when and how a beard might be good and when and how it might be not so good. It all depends on what your case is, and whether or not it is something you want to maintain, and yes, beards DO require lots of maintenance. With all that extra work involved, it is a roll of the dice whether women will appreciate them.

    In episode 11, we are joined by our first in-studio guest, V. We discuss the topic of working remotely vs. commuting to an office for work, and how the mindset of companies and management needs to change to allow for better considerations in the cost savings of remote work. We recognize that not all jobs can be done remotely, but for those that can, why the hell not? In the second half of the episode, V tells us about a book he's discovered which covers an important concept surrounding employee empowerment as the cornerstone of company success, and how a culture of caring about the people can make a huge positive difference in overall success. Such culture drives loyalty and better products when companies care about the human being in employee roles.
