Transcript
Automatic transcript. May contain errors.0:01It's season two of Smart Girl Dumb Questions, and we're getting smarter, dumber, and definitely more curious. I'm your host, Naima Raza. Join me every Tuesday as I ask simple questions to big thinkers. Like I asked psychotherapist Esther Perel why it's hard to fall in love as we get older. When we are children, we play differently. Freedom of imagination enables us to have crushes. Doorman, what people are like when no one's watching. I read my tenets. I study them. Bill Nye about how we get more science guys. Yes, what's happened to science has gone to heck. And Diplo about why every dude I date is a DJ.
0:36We could date. Do you have a boyfriend? I don't. Oh, could be. Could happen. Could have gone on marquee with me last night. Plus, amazing episodes with matchmakers, musicians, and my doctor. Because how much does love cost? Why can't some people sing? And can I live forever? Smart Girl, Dumb Questions. Now every Tuesday on Apple, Spotify, YouTube, or wherever you get your podcasts.
