S2E7 - E39+E40: "A Single Journey" + "Julian's Journey, Mankind's Journey"
Episode 7
Monday, 31 March, 2025

In this episode, we dive deep into the chaos of timekeeping, the existential dread of missing a minute, and the questionable value of a $3/month ad-free clock. We also explore the intricacies of cocktail definitions (is Ribena a cocktail? Debate ensues), the emotional weight of Julian's departure to Fezzan, and Yang Wenli's surprisingly relatable take on alcohol consumption. Plus, we uncover the shocking truth about Fortnite's cultural impact, the ethics of copyright, and the mysterious allure of Iserlohn's cocktail menu. Also in this episode: Joel's Antarctic aspirations, Tom's spoiler slip-ups, and Kumail's deep dive into the history of humanity (and why it feels like a Netflix documentary).Highlights include: The great cocktail debate: Sangria vs. Whiskey Highball. Julian's PowerPoint presentation on Yang's drinking habits. The emotional rollercoaster of Julian's farewell tour (featuring a silent goodbye and a rusty key). A deep dive into the history of the Galactic Federation, complete with nudity and existential musings. The inherent evil of Fortnite and the commodification of IP. Joel's dream of digging up fossils in Fukui (and possibly starting a YouTube channel).Also in this episode: Joel's obsession with University Challenge, Tom's accidental spoilers, and Kumail's existential crisis over the meaning of "nice opinion."Next time on In the Skies of Love: More history lessons, more cocktails, and maybe, just maybe, a trip to Hokkaido. Until then, keep your drinks mixed and your timelines ad-free. Get the Patreon-exclusive podcast feed! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
