About this listen

Is marriage about love… or was it never meant to be romantic in the first place?

In this episode of Dating Is a Joke, host Diana Barbosa sits down with comedian Madhu Arora fresh off her Money Mic win, for an honest, funny, and thoughtful conversation about love, marriage, and modern dating.

They talk about:

  • Asking a future husband out first — and getting rejected

  • Going from friends to lovers over time

  • What decades of marriage actually look like

  • Why marriage was originally about survival, not romance

  • Cultural pressure, arranged marriages, and changing expectations

  • Why a wedding is not the same thing as a marriage

  • Comedy, confidence, and having a supportive partner

  • Whether we’re asking one person to be everything

It’s real talk, big laughs, and no fairy tales — just honest conversations about relationships as they really are.

🎙️ Dating Is a Joke — where we take dating so seriously, we laugh about it.
