This episode is about an ugly topic we would all like to pretend doesn't exist. So uh... if y'all wanna make this one "the lost episode" that's fine, but I feel like there's some pretty good information in here, you know? Sometimes relationships end and it's good to know how to deal with it. Not your relationships of course, those will be around forever. But other people for sure. Is this too long? I feel like it's too long. This episode is sponsored by Funky Fool Design!

By fan demand, here is the much anticipated episode covering long distance relationships! What is a long distance relationship anyway? Is it a type of hat? A pet you're not allowed to have? A completely valid style of relationship whereby two people have the audacity to fall in love while not being geographically close? It appears no one's quite sure, but we assumed the last option and ran with it, so hopefully our scientist retroactively make this episode valid someday. We can only hope.
