When it comes to finding love, there seems to be two schools of thought on the best way to go about it. One says, wait for that lightning-strike magic. The other says, make a calculation and choose the best option available. Who has it right?

• Prologue: When guest host Tobin Low was looking for a husband, he got opposing advice from two of the most important people in his life, his mom and his best friend. (8 minutes)
• Act One: Zarna Garg had a clear plan for how she was going to find a husband. Things did not go as she expected.  (17 minutes)
• Act Two: People who fall in love at first sight often describe it as a kind of magic. One of our producers, Aviva DeKornfeld, is skeptical of these sorts of claims. And also a little envious. (10 minutes)
• Act Three: Calvin is an 11 year old who is learning what love is all about, the hard way. (7 minutes)
• Act Four: Writer Marie Phillips believes that magic is not just reserved for the beginning of a relationship. In fact, she says the real magic can be found  in the end, once you decide to finally leave. (8 minutes)
• Coda: Tobin Low tells us which camp he falls in — math or magic. (2 minutes)

It has been a big week for Abbey - she finally popped her bridesmaid’s cherry for none other than her BFF Holly. 

But before they spill the beans on the wedding of the year, they reminisce on what has been a rather eventful week. From halloween face paint fails to a Geoff Clancy fashion faux pas there is plenty to be unravelled here. 

Abbey and Pete also take a surprising detour from the pod topic and reminisce on some of their school school day pranks and performances which brings a lot of happy memories flooding back.

In Agony Ab, we hear from a woman who has suffered the ultimate betrayal from her former best friend and we also hear from someone who got A LOT more than they bargained for when they went for their monthly mop chop. 

Enjoy this week’s, Therapy Crouch!

We then proceed to fight over who is doing the best to win over her heart. Zach and Skyler show their true colors to be snakes hiding in the grass this whole time who have not gone about this honorably, and Jared has been nothing but a true gentleman of the highest class and stature. Also sorry for the change in lighting through the whole episode. We thought it would be awesome to film this outside and show the Monte Carlo shoreline in the background, but we did not take into account how drastically fast the sun would go down lol SUB TO OUR PATREON FOR BONUS AND BEHIND THE SCENES CONTENT! https://www.patreon.com/dropoutspod BUY OUR SICK FREAKING MERCH! https://www.shopdropouts.com Keep up with us!

It's EPPY 45! We've got tales of lockdown romance... creepy phonecalls... wasps on the nothern line... and for the love of god, don't play Hide and Seek - does it ever end well??

We then take a snazzy posh turn, and follow a story to a haunted Yacht... then find out why Jim is getting so lary from beyond the grave. Just have a whisky and a night off , Jim! Jeez.

The huns also dabble this week in a story of telepathy and TRY IT FOR THEMSELVES. Will they succeed?

Creep Of The Week involves a chilling encounter in the car and we round it all off with a Blink182 incantation.

Phew! Can you tell we're excited for Spooky Season?

Enjoy!!!!!

Welcome to the swamp, mother f*****s!

Well. You thought Derry was bad, just you wait until you meet JOSEPH. Urgh.

FUN FACT: Crocodiles are dangerous, did ya know? You do now.

Hannah brings you part 2 of the Ghost Town Inn and Suzie regales you with the blinking lights outside Walmart, and for gods sake, will we ever get to the bottom of the undiscovered meats?

Amongst all the spooky chaos, you will get footsteps outside your bedroom, a two sentence horror story and a brand new Goosebumps!

Our creep of the week makes you ask yourself if you would road test a haunted car (Suzie obvs couldn't could she? IYKYK), and Hannah tells Suzie her future, spoiler, it ain't good!

It's eppy 37 huns. Meet ya in the swamp!!! xoxoxo
