The episode begins with a critique of influencers who host elaborate parties to celebrate reaching follower milestones, such as one million followers. The hosts express disbelief and humor at the perceived lack of self-awareness and the extravagant nature of these celebrations, questioning the value of such public displays. Following this, the conversation takes a turn to a highly unusual case: a baby with its own Instagram account, managed by its parents, which includes posts about its "glow up" and interactions with followers. The hosts express bewilderment and concern regarding the normalization of this level of social media immersion for infants.
The core of the episode then shifts to providing advice on navigating romantic relationships within the workplace. The hosts differentiate between the service industry, where casual relationships are more common, and the corporate world, where strict HR policies are in place. They offer practical, step-by-step guidance for initiating relationships with coworkers, emphasizing friendship as a precursor to romance. For the corporate environment, they suggest subtle approaches like casual lunches, happy hours, and ensuring a non-creepy demeanor. They also humorously touch upon the challenges and potential pitfalls of workplace romance, including the importance of reading subtle cues and the risks associated with supervisors pursuing subordinates.
Finally, the hosts address listener questions, including a tip about purchasing Plan B at a reduced cost on Amazon, a discussion on catching a cheating partner via LinkedIn messages, and advice for a listener whose boyfriend complained about their sex life to another woman. The episode concludes with a segment addressing a listener who wants to be caught cheating as a form of revenge, with the hosts offering various creative, albeit unconventional, scenarios.
