Right. We said we’d never go there. But here we are. This week, we’re diving into the syrupy world of love languages - yes, those two words make Kevin feel a bit sick in his mouth, but there you go. Apparently this is how you grow as a person. Vom.
This episode isn’t about that kind of love. There’s no Hugh Grant standing in the rain, and no one gets married to someone they met last week. It’s not Notting Hill or Four Weddings, it’s more about the other kind of love- the messy, weird, human kind where you try to figure out what the hell the people around you actually need from you (instead of just assuming it’s Bourbon biscuits and being left alone).
Kev and Izzie take a Love Languages quiz (yes, the one you secretly already did at 2am once after a breakup), and find out if Kev is really just crying out for words of affirmation or a bloody back rub. Izzie, as ever, keeps things grounded while Kev interrupts her roughly every 14 seconds. She retaliates by polishing her whiskey glass directly into the mic. It’s podcast gold. Also, Mark Manson gets a shout out, he’s the bloke who wrote The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**.* He’s a straight-talking life coach type who somehow makes you feel better about being a total emotional bin fire. Thanks Mark.
So grab a drink. Grab a fan. It’s going to be hot (but not in the sexy way - we’re talking 30°C and sweaty thighs on your sofa). And maybe, just maybe, you’ll actually learn something about yourself or at the very least, what not to do in your relationships.
