Jul 31, 2026 · 39m

Summary

Ryan Seacrest and Tanya talk about Michael's new golf hobby, which Tanya jokes is an excuse for him to escape the house. They discuss the awkwardness of small talk and share a list of obscure words for everyday phenomena, like "petrichor" and "overmorrow." A listener named Kevin is surprised when his date Liz reveals she stopped seeing him because he was lazy and unhelpful the morning after their sleepover. The show also covers listener questions about selling a car to a cousin, matching someone with their doctor, and whether a date's ex being at a restaurant is a red flag.
