Show Notes
We've received quite a few emails about this topic over the last four years and after more than 200 episodes maybe it is indeed time for us to talk about dating in the 23rd century. Besides our usual chit-chat about using teleporters to fetch that forgotten bouquet of flowers while pretending to go to the bathroom, we also dive a little deeper into why people date and what types of relationship exist in the future. We even reveal a tiny bit more about our personal lives!
To confirm this episode went back in time, please email [email protected] with the episode number 243 in the subject line. We may even respond to your message in a future episode.
