About this listen
We dive deep into Joshua Harris's infamous I Kissed Dating Goodbye, the 1997 evangelical manifesto that turned a 21-year-old's anti-dating screed into a teen purity bible. Harris went on to torch it in a wild redemption arc complete with divorce, LGBTQ+ affirmation, and chats about Skims' nipple bras. We roast the book's "Seven Habits of Highly Defective Dating," including the great myth of "saving your libido" for explosive wedding-night fireworks. We talk on how purity culture grooms people for poor relationships and rushed shotgun weddings. We end with takedowns of 2025's Epstein email excuses ("they're basically women!") and a tech bro's quest for a non-monogamous baby mama who'll bear his heirs while he... explores. Is brutal honesty hot or just narcissistic? Laugh and cringe with us, it's a good time!
