Once Upon a Coupling Reconsideration

It’s OK everyone, robots are here to support you and care for you and make your life better. Also, robot dogs can shoot you and those dogs are made by a company called SWORD and none of that is a joke except for the part about robots taking care of you. Sorry. There are apparently rules for such a thing.

In other news, a listener writes in to talk about online dating. That isn’t a whole lot easier than the whole gun dog robot. But we’re here to help so Tom does the noble research to clear up the confusion and anxiety that can stem from building online relationships… and all the ghosting that goes with it sometimes, too.

We all hope he does a good job with it because today’s the day for Tom’s performance review and Pete’s up for the job. We just hope he has some good ideas for performance improvement without caring just too much.

About the show

Nobody trained us for any of this, and yet here we are, filing taxes and hosting people in our homes. Pete Wright and Tommy Metz III talk through the feelings that come with adulthood — the big ones, the stupid ones, and the ones you'd rather not name out loud.
