Sarah is getting excited for her farming future since she's decided to pivot away from snow (since there doesn't appear to be any in Denver anymore). We are comparing notes about the ridiculous pick-up lines we've heard recently, and Susie's theory that men are getting worse at lines designed to flirt. Susie is still trying to get Sarah to come up with her list of non-negotiable things that she requires to feel comfortable (like Susie's list of 5 w's), but we think we've finally got a complete picture. We learn about the "great unwanting," and why some people think Gen Z is not having good sex. We discuss the keys to happiness, and find out the list that scientists have determined are the trick to well-being. Sarah explains what causes a house to be haunted (and it's not ghosts).
