Appropriate dating age and are girls falsely accused of being indecisive??
We would like to acknowledge the privilege we have to even be able to bring you an episode of the podcast amidst a humanitarian crisis. We pledge to continue acknowledging the severity of the Israel/Palestinian crisis and educating ourselves of the history and ongoing events. We would also like to learn more about how to support efforts to end this conflict, whether it be by bringing awareness to it or by donations to vetted humanitarian organizations.
In this episode we catch up on each other's lives and about our parent's concern for our dating lives. We also engage in another sibling therapy session as Jesse and Rachel reconcile over deciding where to eat for lunch.
With love, The rooftop pod gang
