98. Love is Blindfolded

Harrison Forman and Brandon Berman present a dating experience with all the intrigue of Love is Blind, but without the editing or gold chalices – UpDating. They recount the journey that inspired the live blindfolded reality dating show as it exists today, and the wildest on-stage connections and rejections to-date. We wrap with insights into our own dating lives, including their experience with clout chasers, their hypothesis on my type, Brandon’s future UpDating proposal, and Harrison’s recent date with a former Interstates & Heartbreak guest.

90. Tinder Swindler Schaudenfreude

Today I’m here solo to discuss reality dating shows and why they have such a hold on us. I analyze how my relationship to Love is Blind and The Bachelor is analogous to and old school Playboy Magazine, and dive into how The Tinder Swindler recently rounded out my trifecta of dating content consumption. I raise all the red flags – both those that foreshadowed the swindler victims’ downfall AND the ones that would be showcased in a dating documentary about my own life, raising the question – am I myself Tinder Swindlable? Oh, and Google teaches me how to correctly pronounce “schadenfreude” on air.
