We start by (once again) discussing Edward T's dating life. And for the first time in years (literally), he has had a successful date! it's been nice knowing everyone, because no doubt the apocalypse is near.
Hilary gives us the gay perspective on dating and how that word -- "dating" -- isn't used in her community.
We also find out that Hilary has a new job -- and that she had to move a long, long way to get to it. Or maybe not... Hilary and Edward T also discuss the nature of confidence.
We then tear into discussing the nature of happiness. What makes you happy?, we want to know. Is it based on results or expectations? Or both - or neither?! What's the nature of it? How do we experience it? Do we answer these questions? Can you answer them for yourselves?
And Hilary donates her Science Minute time to Edward T so that he can present the first-ever Media Minute! He goes into detail on the ground-breaking and culturally-impacting television show "thirtysomething," and reviews the Season One DVD, giving background details on the production and why he finds it so fascinating and unusual, including an interview clip from the creators of the show.
