The New Love Language & A Fitness Dating Test

It's news-free Friday so unpacking Buckingham Palace's announcement about Prince Andrew (let's make that just plain Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, shall we?) will have to wait until Monday when rest assured we'll be going in deep. In the meantime...

Our Em’s had enough of men playing it cool. On today's episode of MMOL, she’s responding to the Outlouders feedback on her dating life and officially campaigning for less nonchalance and more chalant male energy — attentive, enthusiastic, maybe even a little whisper this keen.

And things that have tickled our fancy. We’re rawdogging boredom, dissecting the rise of the Hybrid Rockstar (Hyrox, anyone?), and spotlighting the Halloween comment that officially finished us all off. 💀

Plus, in reccos: An unexpected podcast episode that's being touted as the interview of the year, to a mind-blowing strategy that's perfect for the Nup-resistant among us, to a film that Em insists we all have to watch, it's that good. Yep, your weekend listening and viewing is sorted.
