This week we're finally getting to the bottom of love. We also read an op-ed in the New York Times about how the current dating scene led to the election of Donald Trump, which was ultimately disappointing and anticlimactic, and which we wound up mostly agreeing with.

So here's the thing: mere minutes after we recorded this week's premium episode, the news dropped that Biden would be dropping out of the race. So we figured we'd tap back in for a quick and short update. But then Aaron called and we all got a little carried away with all the analysis. One thing is for sure: NO MORE PROGNOSTICATING
Your regular Premium episode will be dropping tomorrow, and then we will catch back up with things on the main feed later this week :)
