    Chatting about Linkedin for Dating, Finsub and Cern

    Katie and Mandy are back with another episode full of internet rabbit holes, laughs, and plenty of opinions. They kick things off by discussing Grandma Droniak, the famous instagramer who recently received a letter from her retirement community asking her to tone down the partying. Next, they dive into the surprising trend of people using LinkedIn as a dating app. Is networking becoming flirting? Is it less creepy than traditional dating apps? And where should the line between professional and personal really be? The conversation then shifts to the bizarre world of Financial Submission (FinSub), where strangers voluntarily send money and gifts to people online simply for the attention or power dynamic. Katie and Mandy debate whether it's harmless, why it's become so popular, and whether they'd ever accept money from a complete stranger. Finally, they break down the recent buzz surrounding CERN and the Large Hadron Collider. EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT IT ON TIKTOK! Please leave us a Review if you enjoyed this episode!
