Close Other Tabs with Ani & Alex

Close Other Tabs is an ongoing investigation into passing interests. Does your partner have interests? Why? What are interests? Where do interests come from? What are they for? I know they are a threat to me, but how? Have you ever done a 9th-grade-level research project on kei truck crumple zones while standing in line at the bank? or tracked the evolutionary history of moles after seeing your neighbor post about blowing them up on Nextdoor? You may be experiencing interests. Each episode I, Alex, will rifle through my wife Ani's latest browser tabs and choose one of her interests to investigate. Upon investigation, I will demand answers. How deep will this journey take me? How much will it change me? How long can this marriage last? Tune in every other Tuesday, when we Close Other Tabs We are not the jewelry company
