What would our dating profiles look like if we suddenly had to start over in 2026? Apparently… not great.
This week starts on a much more serious note after a scary situation at our daughter’s school left us a bit shaken right before filming the episode. Thankfully, everything turned out okay, but it was one of those parenting moments that drains every bit of energy out of you.
Then we desperately needed to lighten things up.
So we decided to answer dating-app prompts and build the profiles we’d have if we were single today. Bucket lists, greatest strengths, love languages, biggest risks, dating dealbreakers… and somehow Shane’s entire profile basically becomes Apple, dessert, and food.
We also get into whether we’d actually use dating apps, blind-date photo shoots, why Caroline would absolutely run a background check, old movie quotes, and much more.
Turns out we should probably just stay married.
