The hosts kick things off with a breakdown of Nicole Kidman’s divorce settlement, followed by a discussion of Dan Gilbert’s (RocketMortgage) divorce and what high-asset cases can teach us about planning, leverage, and expectations when money is on the line.

From there, the focus shifts to broader cultural patterns, including the continued rise of “gray divorces” and the surprising emergence of divorce rings as a new post-split status symbol. The episode also detours into the tech world to talk about a Dutch couple who used AI to write their wedding vows with unexpected results, sparking a deeper conversation about legal tools, artificial intelligence, and the real risks of AI hallucinations when people rely too heavily on technology for legal advice.

Raif and Rahul share practical “divorce month” tips for anyone contemplating or navigating a separation, before answering listener questions on parenting plans and how courts handle future terms when spouses want different paths to resolution. The episode wraps up with a forward-looking take on dating, highlighting habits to ditch as 2026 approaches, and closes with final thoughts that tie law, relationships, and common sense together in a way only they can.
