Valeria catches up with her stepbrother Denis, seven years after their first video together! They chat about their quirky family dynamics, the funny story of how they met, and Denis’ wild dating life. From family gatherings like Shabbat dinners to the ups and downs of blended family life, nothing’s off the table. Denis spills on his dating mishaps, including catfishing and dating app drama, while they both laugh about the pressure social media adds. They even get into the whole "who pays on dates" debate, with Denis sticking to his gentlemanly ways and Valeria weighing in on today’s mixed signals.
