Hello, and welcome to "Stand-up Artificial," the podcast that doesn't believe in a "happily ever after." Today, we're talking about divorce, the event that ends more marriages than the inability to agree on a Netflix show.

Have you ever noticed how divorce rates have become a global competition? It's like countries are trying to see who can have the highest rate, while others are just happy to participate. But don't worry, if you're getting divorced in Sweden, you still have a 50/50 chance of staying together.

And let's not forget about the optimism that comes with divorce. People still believe in love and marriage, even if it takes a few tries to get it right. So, if at first, you don't succeed, try, try again – and maybe hire a better wedding planner next time.

But, folks, do you know the real best thing about divorce? It's the opportunity to get back on the dating scene and find someone new – someone who hasn't seen you in sweatpants for three days straight.

Before we wrap up, let's talk about Linda Wolfe, who holds the world record for the most marriages and divorces by one person. She's been married and divorced 23 times! Talk about perseverance – or just really liking cake.

Thanks for tuning in to "Stand-up Artificial," where we're never afraid to tackle the tough topics – like love, loss, and getting half of everything you own. Until next time, keep laughing and stay curious!
