Did you think that dragons were real when you were younger? As it turns out… you were right! They were real, and they can be again, and all you need to do is wait 200 years… or follow the instructions in this episode! We'll tell you the ingredients you need, what to do with them, and which challenges you might face along the way, including finding the time for these kinds of frivolities. But don't let that stop you; you may just soon be the creator of the very first 21st century dragon.

Remember that second universe? That spontaneously started appearing recently? As it turns out, its appearance was less spontaneous and more the result of the Partians wanting to prove that they were correct. The good news is they were indeed correct! The bad news is it might just be the end of everything. Let's see if we can fix that.

Almost Everything Else: Simon & Dirk

If there isn't a podcast episode about it, does it really exist? Well, for today's topic we don't need to worry about that anymore! And rather than just talking about it, we actually visit the (soon to be) largest skyscraper ever. We were supposed to get a guided tour of the construction site, but end up exploring it on our own, while sitting on a big robot fly. That's a first, even for us! We basically comment on what we see, interrupted by lots of background noise; it is a construction site after all!

Enough about technology! Today it's all about the people that have a big influence on life in the 23rd century. To change things up a bit, neither the listener, nor Simon, knows up front which 5 celebrities we'll be talking about. To give away a few things though; topics that you'll hear about today include smoothies, LEGO, Star Trek and carrot carving - basically everything you can expect from a podcast from the future!

Simon didn't show up for today's recording session and Dirk can’t even get into his apartment. So, what do 23rd century people do in such an emergency? They record a podcast episode about it! It's time to sort through the clues and speculate about different scenarios. Did somebody say pirates?

Almost Everything Else: Simon & Dirk

Simon has a mystery item on the wall, covered by a cloth. It's a Portal Window! You can map it to any other Portal Window, on Earth or elsewhere. It gives you nice views, nice smells and nice sounds. Or not so nice ones, if you're unlucky. It also opens the 'door' to many creative ideas, such as playing squash with yourself. We talk about some of these ideas, but also don't hesitate to touch upon other exciting topics, such as curtains and insect screens.

Did you know that a Moon day lasts 28 Earth days? If that sounds like an easy calculation, you'll be surprised at how complicated things can get. For example, if you're born on the Moon, when is your birthday? Or when does the weekend start? And do they have Mondays on the Moon? What does 'down to earth' mean up there? And do we still have honeymoons in the 23rd century? Better gear up for a genre that you didn't know existed; future vocabulary!

We actually wanted to talk some more about Globust Engines, but the news catches up with us. After Dirk noticed many Partians along the river on his way to Simon, we try to figure out what's going on, live on the show. As it turns out, Partians are relocating to Earth for the moment, while they sort out a few galactic challenges back home. We check out the cams and report what we see, and what we hear, and then we end early to go help out.
