    Episode 010 - The real meaning of spooky season
    Oct 17 2023
    Welcome to our first minisode! This week we are celebrating spooky season by talking about the spookiest thing of all — exes resurrecting from the dead. And how some of us are walking around with actual graveyards on our phones (ahem - McKinley). But first, Kelly reminisces on how dating women is not for the faint of heart (but still better than dating men). We unpack the unhinged chaos of this season of Love is Blind, talk about whether we would marry someone with bad credit, and looking for glimmers. Also, McKinley forgets what an LBD is. A spooky delight!Has one of your old flings resurrected? Share your spooky story with us at blkandwhtpod@gmail.com!
