The Main Arguments (The 'Why')
- In their discussion about relationships, the hosts make a few key points to support their idea that you shouldn't stay in an unhappy one:
- First, they argue that because they dated other people before getting together, they aren't as scared of a potential breakup as someone who has only ever been with one person.
- Next, they point out that staying together "for the kids" can actually be worse for them, because kids can feel the tension and misery between their parents.
- Finally, they acknowledge that practical reasons, like money, can make leaving difficult. However, they believe that your long-term happiness is what's most important and worth fighting for.

Questions to Make You Think
- Q: What was the silliest thing they argued about in their "What's Your Beef?" segment?

Q: What was the hilarious name Rosie accidentally called a polar bear?
A: Her brain completely blanked, and instead of "polar bear," she called them "snow pandas."
Q: Do they actually think the hobbies on the "unattractive" list are bad?
- A: No, not really. They think some of the items, like gambling or arguing online, are more like bad habits than hobbies. But for things like comic books, cosplay, and gaming, they think it's just nerdy stuff and that "nerds rock."
