Summary
…We’re about to go off. Since what feels like the beginning of time (the 60s) dating companies have promised us that our soulmates are out there waiting for us, and they know just who it is. But in this current late stage hellscape, it’s safe to say these companies aren’t as altruistic as they seem. Yes, in this episode, Hannah and Maia talk about everyone’s least favourite drug: dating apps. It comes down to one question: if dating apps could really find us our soulmate, why is it that we’re less horny, and less committal than ever before? Rather than being happily partnered, its appears we’ve all become rizzless, attention deficit, scaredy-cat sex nerds. Are we in crisis? Tangents include: Vanessa Hudgens' monopoly on the “Disney R&B” market, the “bottle night” guy, and Hannah putting yet another nickel in the Don’t Talk About Taylor Swift jar.

| 0:05.4 | The chokehold that that Vanessa Hutchins Sneaker Night song has over Hannah is shocking. |
| 0:11.6 | But also not because I literally don't know what the lyric is after that. |

| 0:49.0 | But also, like, Vanessa Hudgens, I love the girl, and I need her to ascend to A-list status. Pronto. |

| 1:09.4 | Yeah, she's actually doing God's work. She is. She did make those amazing Christmas movies. Oh my God, all three of them. And she played so many people. Like, where's her Oscar?
