On the heel's of last week's episode describing the budding relationships of real listeners in quarantine, we return this week with five more stories of love in a time of isolation. From matchmaking to uncertainty to an accidental "I love you," each of these stories is the raw detailing of how it's not, in fact, impossible to find love despite a complete lack of human interaction. * * * Shop Sunday Scaries: www.sunday-scaries.com/shop Sunday Scaries Twitter: www.twitter.com/sundayscaries Sunday Scaries Instagram: www.instagram.com/sunday.scaries Will deFries Twitter: www.twitter.com/willdefries Will deFries Instagram: www.instagram.com/willdefries * * * Raycon: www.buyraycon.com/scaries (SCARIES15 of 15% off) Manscaped: www.manscaped.com (SCARIES for 20% Off + Free Shipping) * * * All music by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ Podcast artwork by Alfonso Ruiz (www.alfonsoruizbook.com) and Tristan Pigott (www.tristanpigott.com)

Modern-day dating is hard enough, but things got even harder when we were all self-isolating during quarantine. In this week's episode, we go through the stories of five people who found themselves in the beginning stages of a relationship when COVID-19 hit. From a couple who realized their on-again/off-again relationship could never work to a couple who finally said "I love you," these are their stories.

The history behind The Sunday Scaries Podcast as it exists today. From starting my first Tumblr page in 2013 to recording my first episode, there were a lot of speed bumps, lucky breaks, and hard work along the way. With interviews from Kendra Syrdal (the first writer for Sunday Scaries who is now with Thought Catalog) and Dave Ruff (co-host of Circling back and my current friend/business partner), we discuss it all — the early days of content, getting hired and working for PGP, and the series of events that took me to where the podcast is today. * * * Shop Sunday Scaries: www.sunday-scaries.com/shop Sunday Scaries Twitter: www.twitter.com/sundayscaries Sunday Scaries Instagram: www.instagram.com/sunday.scaries Will deFries Twitter: www.twitter.com/willdefries Will deFries Instagram: www.instagram.com/willdefries * * * Lumin: www.luminskin.com/scaries (first month FREE) Sun Basket: www.sunbasket.com/scaries (code SCARIES for $35 off your order) Roman: www.getroman.com/scaries * * * All music by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ Podcast artwork by Alfonso Ruiz (www.alfonsoruizbook.com) and Tristan Pigott (www.tristanpigott.com)

I've followed Greta Titelman for years. From her podcast Lady Lovin' to her hilarious Instagram characters, her talent and comedy span far and wide. This Sunday, she sits down with me to discuss why she turned to comedy, how she describes what she does to Uber drivers, her quarantine-friendly Matcha Live Instagram workout, and why bagels are a superior breakfast food. She's also the first guest to ever physically walk me through her bedside table and refrigerator. * * * Shop Sunday Scaries: www.sunday-scaries.com/shop Sunday Scaries Twitter: www.twitter.com/sundayscaries Sunday Scaries Instagram: www.instagram.com/sunday.scaries Will deFries Twitter: www.twitter.com/willdefries Will deFries Instagram: www.instagram.com/willdefries * * * Raycon: www.buyraycon.com/scaries (15% off) Roman: www.getroman.com/scaries (FREE visit) * * * All music by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ Podcast artwork by Alfonso Ruiz (www.alfonsoruizbook.com) and Tristan Pigott (www.tristanpigott.com)

Aditi Shah is someone I've been listening to all through quarantine. As a meditation and yoga instructor for Peloton, Aditi has practiced meditation and yoga nearly all of her life. This week, we discussed her journey to where she is today, how meditation can help us all during this uncertain time, and some beginner questions for those looking to add meditation to their daily routines. Oh, and of course, we touched on how she spends her Sundays as well. * * * Shop Sunday Scaries: www.sunday-scaries.com/shop Sunday Scaries Twitter: www.twitter.com/sundayscaries Sunday Scaries Instagram: www.instagram.com/sunday.scaries Will deFries Twitter: www.twitter.com/willdefries Will deFries Instagram: www.instagram.com/willdefries * * * Sun Basket: www.sunbasket.com/scaries (code SCARIES for $35 off your order) One Core Store: www.onecorestore.com/scaries (10% off!) * * * All music by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ Podcast artwork by Alfonso Ruiz (www.alfonsoruizbook.com) and Tristan Pigott (www.tristanpigott.com)

Kate Kennedy does it all — a podcast host, an author, and even a doormat mogul. Whether she's discussing something at length on her podcast Be There In Five or she's commenting on something through her hilarious Instagram, one thing is for certain: she always feels like you're listening to your best friend. This week, Kate joined me to discuss her career path up until this point, how she handles being a jack of all trades, the weirdness of working in quarantine around your significant other, and so much more. And yes, we even explore how she spends her ideal Sundays. * * * Shop Sunday Scaries: www.sunday-scaries.com/shop Sunday Scaries Twitter: www.twitter.com/sundayscaries Sunday Scaries Instagram: www.instagram.com/sunday.scaries Will deFries Twitter: www.twitter.com/willdefries Will deFries Instagram: www.instagram.com/willdefries * * * Roman: www.getroman.com/scaries Omax: www.omaxhealth.com (code SCARIES) * * * All music by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ Podcast artwork by Alfonso Ruiz (www.alfonsoruizbook.com) and Tristan Pigott (www.tristanpigott.com)
