0:00 Intro

2:00 Ben is reading “The Shining Girls” about a time-traveling serial killer. Sarah gets nervous when fictional characters get in trouble and always wants the good guys to win. Ben & Sarah break down the kind of books they do and don't like.

“For each smooch, pull away, look into the eyes, say 'thank you' and then go in for another.” - Sarah

9:00 Ben recalls a romantic picnic date he planned.

12:30 Sarah doesn't love “Transitional Sarah” - the Sarah she was between long-term relationships. We dissect text-back tempo.

“Let's get back to this monogamous, comfortable, sweet little cocoon of romance and kissing and you can fart sometimes...not too often, please.” - Sarah

24:15 Ben and Sarah both play the Pokemon games. They are not enthused by the augmented reality Pokemon Go mobile game coming out. Sarah's first Tamagotchi is most likely covered in poop and sad.
