Season 1 Track: Old Streets by Crystal Squad
Season 2 Track: Future Love by Squares1 hr 9 min - Why Don't We Fall in Love
Ever heard of the NYT 36 Questions to Fall in Love? Well, they come from a psychology study which was conducted to see if there was a way to create a temporary connection or feeling of closeness between two strangers. The study evaluated a lot of things such as attachment styles and how they interact and, so, Christine and Jacoby decided to chat about what these questions mean to them or how they would perceive them if they were to use the 36 question questionnaire to create a sense of connection with those in their life.
Come to learn and leave with a new perspective and some laughs.

Challenge:
Take the questionnaire with anyone you want to be closer with (does not have to be in a romantic context).

What would YOU want to be remembered for? Finding the cure for cancer? Solving world hunger? Or how about crushing the most cans of soda WITH YOUR HEAD in 30 seconds? In this episode, we dive into the wild, weird, and truly wonderful world of Guinness World Records. From the tallest stacks to mind-bending physical feats, we explore what drives people to push the limits of human achievement. You'll hear about some of the most bizarre records ever set, how the official verification process works, and why people around the globe are still so fascinated with being “the best” at something.
Whether you're a record-holding legend or just someone who can’t look away from human extremes, this episode is full of jaw-dropping stats, behind-the-scenes stories, and a little inspiration to chase your own quirky goals.
