In the hot seat this episode are a few twenty-something bachelors working in Silicon Valley: Santiago, David & Daniel. As men just trying to make it (see what we did there?), they are individually learning over time what it means to be dating in adulthood—and we have a *lot* of questions. Take notes as we talk to each guy about the moralities of ghosting, whether someone's "type" matters, wearing your heart on your sleeve, etc. The rest? You'll have to #tunein to find out.

Those Qs we ALL want answers to but never dare to ponder? We're answering them today: unravelling destiny, passion, love, the universe, with a touch of randomness. Do dogs have emotions? Is true love a myth or science? Do soulmates even exist? Are we foolish for having faith in age-old mantras? Whether it's street smarts > book smarts or friendship > love, we're diving #deep right. now.
