    A DRUG TO CURE YOUR BROKEN HEART. I DON'T GET IT with Brian D. Earp

    They say falling in love is like getting high. Who are "they"? Well, whoever "they" are, they happen to be right. Your brain is very well versed in two things: pleasure and pain. And love, drugs, all the feelings, it's all just pleasure and pain baby. But what if there was an anti-love drug? A pill you can pop whenever your heart of glass breaks? Some medicine to wash away the remnants of a lover that left you with a love that you can't leave behind? This week I'm joined by Brian D. Earp, co-author of LOVE DRUGS: The Chemical Future of Relationships, Senior Research Fellow at the University of Oxford, Associate Director of the Yale Hastings Program in Ethics and Health Policy at Yale University to discuss exactly that. Does it exist? Can it exist? How would it work? Would it really work? You know, just some heavy duty, sophisticated questions of a certain calibre of intelligence. Be forewarned. Look, the point is, he is really smart. And he is here to talk to us about my favourite subject and I think possibly the only thing I ever actually talk about: love. Ok, let's go mend these broken hearts, shall we?

    THE LIFESPAN OF A RELATIONSHIP: FROM BEGINNING TO END. I DON'T GET IT w/ Yasmeen Rafiq (CHAPTER ONE)

    Who loves love? We love nothing more than that sweet, sweet Mary J. REAL LOVE (remix)! Some might say we're addicted to love. To those we say; and you're addicted to Haterade! To combat your negatory, schadenfreude vibes (you know deep down you're low key hate listening), today, we're rolling out a series of three eps about good ol' L-O-V-E! It's very Eternal Sunshine-y so maybe get your ELO on and prepare to be happy then sad then happy then sad then mad then suddenly it's 3AM and you're covered in Pringles crumbs and several unknown chocolate stains, listening to T. Swift and writing all of your exes handwritten letters by candlelight. I've NEVER done anything like that so i wouldn't know. To kick things off: today, we're joined by marriage counselor and all around love and relationship expert, Yasmeen Rafiq, as we take the arduous journey through the lifespan of a relationship. In Chapter One, we explore the meet cute. What makes us attracted to one person instead of another? What makes someone good enough to hook up with but not to date seriously? What happens when we first fall in love? Is it gradual? Is it instant? Does love at first sight really happen? Is love and marriage really just a matter of timing and convenience or is there really someone out there destined for each and every one of us? I know we've come and gone a lot lately. Such is what happens both in life and love. Thanks for sticking around. Now let's go fall in love, shall we?

    CHEATING. I DON'T GET IT with "Linda"

    Today we discuss the oft depicted hot mess that is CHEATING with "Linda". She's looking for a real connection - a monogamous one - but to her surprise, it seems she may have found exactly what she's been looking for - in the least likely of places (or so she thought). This is her story.

    GROWING UP. I DON'T GET IT with my Grade 8 Teacher, Mr. Martil & Grade 8 Classmate, Jan Michael

    Growing up sucks butts. Today, I sit down with my Grade 8 Teacher, Mr. Martil alongside one of my Grade 8 Classmates, Jan Michael as we re-visit our former selves and ask - do we like the people we've become? Who were we then? Who are we now? And if I'm really 14 going on 40, then where's Mark Ruffalo at? All this and more on today's show! This one's for every teacher that shows up, every day. That listens. That cares. That sees the very best in us, long before we ever see it in ourselves. Thank you for being there.

    GET IT. Friendships, Wine-O-Clock, Kah-caine and Acting Your Age with CHERYL, LUCINDA & MARIA

    You know it, we know it, there was no I DON'T GET IT ep last week cause we were intro'ing GET IT which now leaves us in an ouroboros situation since one begets the other. My brain is short circuiting. But when is it not? Join us as we dig into the archives instead and discuss the ep about friends, how we all became friends in the first place, could we be friends with women who wear wine-o-clock shirts and jokes aside, catch a glimpse of what real friends look like. You know, the kind who, (you can endlessly take the piss out of), but will always have your back when someone tries to come at you. They're alright I guess. They just have terrible taste in movies - the one thing none of us will ever agree on and cannot avoid fighting about. If you've ever thought about Inception, The Prestige, or M Night Shyamalan, then please, email us at burningtrashfire@gmail.com and share your thoughts and feelings with us. Maybe we'll even have you on the show and air your Shia Le Beefs, whatever they may be. Thanks for coming by! And SORRY, UNCUT GEMS, I know, I know. Ugh
