Summary
She's beautiful, smart, funny, and head over heels in love with you. There's only one problem – she's from a possible world, not the actual one. What we thought would be a funny opening segment idea turns into a semi-serious discussion of Neil Sinhababu's 2008 article "Possible Girls." Plus David and Tamler share some thoughts on teaching in normal times and today.
