    This week in TNR, Annie Choi joins Kelly and JL to talk about something that sometimes feels like the Wild West: dating and relationships in 2026. Being on the apps is exhausting, and Annie shares her insights on the current dating landscape: the good, the bad, and the face palm moments. Like that one time a dude asked her how they would keep in touch after she said she was getting off the apps. DUDE. Come on. Maybe ask for her number, bro!

    Mike Underell: on being a role model for my daughter, believing women + my allyship journey

    There's a MAN in TNR this week! The Substack algo sent Kelly a beacon of hope in Mike Underell. Male feminists are few and far between, so a conversation with Mike was categorized as a need to have. Mike shares insights on allyship, the power of women's sports, and how he's dismantling the patriarchy from within. He challenges other men to question their own programming and breaks down his own processing in this powerful conversation that has JL and Kelly riveted I was watching hockey when my daughter asked, “Do girls play sports?” I was shocked! Despite all the sports we do together, she only saw boys on TV. It hit me hard—what messages am I sending her?

    So you think you know the 90s?

    We're going back to the most popular decade in 2026: THE 90s! WOOT! JL and Kelly lived it, and they are reminiscing through some good ole trivia.

    Social media's Big Tobacco moment? Oh how meta!

    Last week in TNR, Kelly and JL got real about AI and the Analog Revolution ... and then the verdict came back on the Meta / YouTube case. Some folks are comparing this case to the Big Tobacco fallout back in the late 1990s. The ruling called out what we've known for a while now: tech addiction is real. JL and Kelly discuss their own relationships with social media going back to the godfather, AOL Instant Messenger (iykyk).
