  The Nicest Man in the Room 12.08.2026 43mnt

  Chat with Check Edgar Hey CheckMates, it's Check Edgar here! I went to the cinema yesterday and missed my movie. So I joined the popcorn queue instead. And then someone tapped my shoulder. It was a woman I had spent five years looking for. A woman who, one random Tuesday in 2021, sent me a single text message that said "please do not call or text me anymore" and then disappeared completely. No fight. No argument. No explanation. Yesterday, sitting in a small coffee shop inside that mall, she ...

  I Need Your Help 08.08.2026 30mnt

  Chat with Check Edgar Hey CheckMates, it's Check Edgar here! This is not a regular episode. I wouldn't even call it an episode. But you should listen to it. No montage. No theme music. No crazy sound effects. Just me, sitting in my wardrobe, talking to you about my problems. The reason I am in the wardrobe is a story for another day. Just know there is something under my bed that looks like a lizard crossed with a rat and a wall gecko, and I am not leaving this wardrobe until it is found. I n...

  Dark Chocolate Cake 17.07.2026 1j 1mnt

  Chat with Check Edgar Hey CheckMates, it's Check Edgar here! I went to a party to find love. Lancelot invited me. He gave me four rules before we even stepped out of the car. Simple rules. Easy rules. Rules I had absolutely no business breaking. I broke three of them. What followed was the most chaotic night of my life. A truth or dare game that went completely off the rails. A slice of dark chocolate cake that looked completely innocent on that small plate. A girl I was not supposed to talk ...

  Crocodile Tears 11.07.2026 56mnt

  Chat with Check Edgar Hey CheckMates, it's Check Edgar here! I read an article this week about a man who spent 16 years raising children that were not his. The father of those children was his best friend. The same man he built a business with. The same man he trusted with his life. When I finished reading, I could not close my mouth for five minutes. But then I remembered I had my own story. My girlfriend. My best friend. My apartment. One night I came home exhausted from rehearsals, fell as...

  A Letter to my Future Partner 11.06.2026 47mnt

  Chat with Check Edgar Hey CheckMates, it's Check Edgar here! This week, Edgar wakes up to a marriage proposal happening right outside his window. Live band, a brand new car, a diamond ring, the whole thing. But the real story is not the proposal. It is what saved the relationship two years earlier, after a fight so bad the police got involved. One folded letter. No envelope. Just a few words that did what six years of conversation could not. That discovery sends Edgar to his desk, his pen, an...

  Chat with Check Edgar Hey CheckMates, it's Check Edgar here! In this episode of Why Am I Still Single?, I want to tell you about an experiment. A four-month experiment. With a woman called Tobi. I did not ask Tobi out because I was in love. There were no butterflies. No sparks. Nothing like that. But everyone around us could see something we refused to see her friends, my friends, our families, and one completely useless Uber driver who had absolutely no business in our lives. So we agreed. F...
