Manic Rambling Spiral156: Reddit for RelationshipsWe talk about more than Bumble (you know you want an update), but John’s text to Heather is probably the best description for this episode. “Without fail, the women on this app are in three distinct categories: 1. Want kids, 2. Don’t want a relationship, 3. Way out of my league. However, even if nothing in their bio is a fit, I always swipe right on the women who look like they could kick my a$$.” Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Manic Rambling Spiral151: Injury and InsultIt’s been a busy week without any travel or big changes. How so?

Manic Rambling Spiral148: Slow DownWeird title for a show called "Manic Rambling Spiral," but here we are.

Manic Rambling Spiral140: Fun Facts About SleepingIf there are two takeaways from this week, they are as follows: Heather sleeps naked, John does not.
