Chapter 2: Why are meet cutes considered palate cleansers?
We love a meet cute. It's very hopeful and sweet, and we need to throw those in.
Yeah, they kind of are palate cleansers. They're uplifting. They're hopeful.
Yeah.
Yeah, we needed it because we had animal attacks, and we've had shit in your pants.
Yeah.
There's a whole host of depravity, really.
A lot of nasty stuff.
Could be called armchair depravity.
Could be.

Chapter 3: How did Heather and Brian's meet cute unfold?
Hi. Can you hear me okay? Oh, my God. This is beautiful setup.
What is happening?
Thank you. I'm underneath my standing desk. Oh.
Do you watch Severance? It looks like you're in that welcoming room where she delivers information.
Your Audi is a very good roller skater.
That's right. I do have a little lamp with a sheet over it to give it a little ambience.
Oh, well, it looks great. First of all, where are you other than this cute cave?
I live in Beverly Hills, Michigan.
Oh, my God. By Aaron Weakley. Do you ever see Aaron Weakley?

Chapter 4: What role did Brian's dog play in Heather's story?
We'll say so.
Did you grow up there?
I grew up in Royal Oak.
Wonderful.
I actually went to a shrine. Of course you did. Okay, that's Kristen's high school for people who don't know.
You had to. Okay, Heather, you have a meet-cute story.
Yes. So it takes place at Central Michigan University. It was New Year's Eve 2008. I was up there after Christmas to go back to work. My roommate, Mary, was up there with me and my neighbor, our friend Kelly, was also there. And Kelly at the time was dating this fraternity guy. They're actually now married, but the fraternity was having a New Year's Eve party.
So the three of us decide that we're going to get dressed up and go to this party. As the party's going on, my roommate Mary comes over to us and she's like, hey, there's this guy Brian here. I think you two would really hit it off. He's upstairs in the attic with some friends. You should go up there and say hi. So I grab my friend Kelly and we go up there and they're all smoking in the attic.
Cigarettes or marijuana?

Chapter 5: How did a high school compatibility test lead to love?
It's interesting you said, I put my hand up and touched the wall. When you said it, I thought that's an interesting detail. Is that foreshadowing?
Oh. Oh, and then it was.
It was. Yeah, you must ask yourself, had he not bit your face? And both of you are not asking for anyone's numbers. Like, neither of you are pursuing this with any kind of gusto. Had the dog not intervened and caused this walk home and the ice pack, I don't think we're here.
Probably never would have happened. That's a good point. I hate to give the dog any credit.
Well, you got to give credit where credit's due. I must. That's also another ethos of yours. Well, Heather, it's lovely meeting you. I'm delighted we've got a Michigander in the audience. We don't talk to nearly enough people from Michigan.
I feel like we've talked to just a lot of them, but I love them. You guys are a great group.
Yeah, before we go, if you had to guess what the best amusement park in the world is, what would you say?
My husband and I were literally talking about this earlier. Cedar Point, of course.
Let's go, baby.

Chapter 6: Is there a connection between compatibility tests and lasting relationships?
You can smell the guy.
Yeah, I'd be really curious if we could get an evolutionary biologist to explain why that is. Do we not smell as good? Is it more important for a female throughout history to be able to identify her partner? There has to be an explanation.
Because you definitely don't have that.
Zero desire.
Do you think so too, Rob?
Yeah, I agree. All right, we have a pair. Oh, fun. Ah, you're in two different locations.
We are. Did you do that for sound? Yes, that was the advice given. We both wanted to be here because we're both big fans.
Oh, how exciting. You guys are so cute.
But wait, are you in the same home?
