  • Discussion keeps the world turning.

  • This is Roundtable.

  • You're listening to Roundtable.

  • My name is Steve and I'm joined together today by Yuxin and Yuxin.

  • Coming up, how often do you find yourself lying on your back pushing something heavy upward?

  • Almost never, right?

  • Well, that's the bench press I'm talking about.

  • But functional fitness is more than just getting that great summer bod.

  • It's about doing exercises that actually benefit you in your daily life.

  • We'll give you all the details on that.

  • And then, oh,

  • every year it seems

  • like we're introduced to another round of dating styles and the accompanying vocabulary,

  • and sometimes they can be cute and harmless.

  • But throning?

  • This isn't just another dating buzzword.

  • This is about choosing partners almost like chess pieces trading romance for status.

  • Why are young people doing this?

  • And what does it actually say about where love is headed?

  • You can find us at Roundtable China on Apple Podcasts.
