Comments

TC

What was the best date you ever went on together, and the worst?

Anthony

Thoughts about Love Song by Clairo and/or your favorite love songs

Anna

How do you deal with friends/family not liking or “approving” your SO?

Derek

Matt — how does housing assistance and/or public housing in Nordic welfare state models differ from the U.S.?

Ligma

When Liz says she's a neoplatonist I can't tell how much she's joking. Forms aren't real its just social constructs imo.

Nick Smith

Liz what do you think is the most romantic movie? (my answer is Before Sunrise)

Kenan Anderson

My birthday is on Valentine’s Day. How should my gf and I handle this? Does one “trump” the other?

Gina Burton

How do you celebrate Valentine’s day? When our kids were young they joined us for dinner at home. Usually fondu or something fun. This year we’re having a double date with our son and DIL who are visiting❤️

Davíd

Do cats love us? Dogs?

Charles Sapienza

Any thoughts on mdma couples therapy? It saved our relationship. We’re a pretty straightedge couple, with two kids and consuming careers. But our relationship is the healthiest it’s ever been due to a few therapy sessions and a few mdma trips. Also, heard a clip on NPR that SWFs primarily help countries that are already rich, and what they ultimately do is increase the wealth gap between rich and poor countries. Does Matt have a response to this? I’m pro-SWF (and usually anti-NPR), but this seems like a worthy critique.

David Diaz

What makes a good love story?

Matthew Dickinson

How do you have fun with each other so many years into your relationship? What do you do as a couple when you have kids?

meghan

How long should you be with someone before getting engaged/married? Is time a factor or is this the wrong question, is it more contingent on the sort of things you’re talking about and the way you choose to spend time together? What is the case for marriage (esp. sacramental marriage)? Also for Matt, can you just expound generally on the ways marriage and the welfare state intersect.

chris degener

Matt I can imagine your version of socialism being called State Capitalism by maoist dorks etc. How would you respond to that accusation? How is your solution different?

Adrian Vasquez

Do you think it’s true men are more hurt by sexual adultery, and women are more hurt by emotional adultery? As a hetero male, I concur.

Kevin

how do i nudge a friend with a girlfriend of 9 years into buying her a ring?

Kevin

i’m very allergic to cats and a girl i’ve been dating has two cats. sometimes her clothes make me sneeze. is there any room for compromise here

Nick Cee

I went on a trip with my guy friends and their girlfriends recently. None of them have kids, i'm a married man with a child and expecting another. We are in our late 20s/early 30s. The women started discussing the pressure of having kids due to the "biological clock" and how much pressure society puts on you to have kids at our age. I think people (both men and women) need to take this much more seriously, as my wife and I have, if they want to have a family. But I stayed out of the convo. I get the sense that men don't think about this enough. What's the best way to talk about it?

Nick

Liz how do you smoke up and then go work for WaPo, NYT, and the Atlantic? Not Valentine’s Day related, just always been envious of high functioning potheads. Thanks.

Josh B

Favorite fictional romances?

Caitlin Still

Your marriage has such good lore, but it sounds like you were long-distance for a really long time 💀 how did you bear it!? And what was shacking up together for good like after all that time? Also, I think I remember that having something to do with Jane coming along so I’m curious—how many weeks were you when you realised you were pregnant Liz?

Any tips on keeping mats from forming in a Siberians's coat?

Nick

Tried that, but then I’m just depressed and staring at a computer. Tried the Adderall and caffeine “even-out” but that just led to psychosis, so I’ve come to accept my limitations

Buddy of mine who’s allergic to cats married a girl with cats and he has some kind of air filter that makes it almost unnoticeable

Sleve McDichael

Since leaving Twitter, has not sharing as much online life affected your relationship? My wife and I have different social media spheres and different podcasts and as a result we basically can’t talk about the content we pipe into our brains all day.

For my part, I will say that as with most such things, the key is prevention or early treatment. Check the cat's coat regularly, and, if a mat has started to form, cut it out immediately. Nip it in the bud, as it were.

Paul Glasheen

I'm curious y'alls thoughts on the 'ordo amoris' throwdown between the pope and JD Vance and the weird near fetishistic zealotry of adult right-wing Catholic converts. Also, is a better future for the good ole USA based on a more true ideal of love still possible?

Peter Hillson

Are you ever afraid that love might not be enough? Thanks!

LP3

When Woke comes back, whose getting cancelled first? Shakespeare—dipped out on his wife & kids for the theater, failed to invent intimacy coordinators—or Anne Hathaway—age gap relationship, believed the urban center was a lawless “no-go-zone”?

Gotta have a few ready for the return, so everyone knows I’m a good soldier

Connor K

In an alternate reality where you never met, but have somehow ended up being more-or-less the same person you are today, how would you go about trying to find someone?

Béatrice Leydier

For Liz -- in recent ep you talked about how the right-wing online Catholics will always be dissatisfied as long as the pope doesn't condone racism which is p sad for them. I was wondering if there's some version of that for all Catholics, as in everyone may have some kind of views they don't really vibe with and if yes how do they tend to, and/or how are they supposed to, approach it - in general and for you in particular. In your case for example I believe you've expressed before negative views about the church's position on contraception. And you've also written extensively about failures of prosecuting crimes committed by priests within the institution. How do you approach these things in the context of your faith? What's hard and easy about it? Does it sow doubt on other things? For most intellectual things it's easy for humans to compartmentalize, but I wonder how people do it with faith, given I imagine it to be more all-encompassing than other beliefs. I find the concept of faith very fascinating. Thank you!!

One reason given against marrying early is that one needs to be purged of neuroticism and insecurity via the personal growth that follows failed relationships. I’m not sure it actually works like that a lot of the time but do you think there is some validity there? My feeling is that waiting to be fully happy and sane before starting to love might take a while.

J K

Matt have you read any machine learning papers like the Transformers one you mentioned last ep? Is that something you’d ever get into as a hobby?

Jalen

I'm nearly 30 and have never been in a relationship? Am I cooked? Will I be miserably out of my depth if it ever does happen?

Teddy Duchow-Pressley

Matt - please comment on Chris Paul's recent disqualification from the NBA skills challenge

William Carpenter

Ordo Amoris. Rory Stuart and the Pope versus JD Vance! Your thoughts?
