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?

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.

Listening back to last week's episode on our old iPod got us a bit worried. It sounds as if we were talking about the "extinct" golden toad, which is everything but extinct. It's actually a bit of a plague. That's not the worrying part though! While we can hear our own voices, we don't actually remember saying those things. And since the plague has been around forever, the things we seem to have said don't really make much sense anyway. Either way, we implore you, our 21st century listener; please don't touch anything!

This episode starts in Simon's apartment and ends high up in the sky above Cyprus. In between you'll hear about a mystery item, several banana peels, some incense and a campfire, while there'll be a bit of hoverboarding, teleporting, discussing campfires and, of course, we throw some water into the air. To top it all off, we read a listener email about golden toads in a place where no email has ever been read before! You know, your usual episode.

It's not uncommon for people in temperate regions to wish summer would last longer. Well, how about we prolong the season then? Because, on a country level, that's actually possible. It has a few small challenges, especially when neighbouring countries decide not to sync up, but all in all it opens up many possibilities. Longer summers are a no-brainer, but we also give examples for some of the other seasons. And of course we wonder what they think about all of that in Azerbaijan.

One of us got invited to join the People of Leisure program, so we take the opportunity to talk about it on the show. Through a set of AI-defined criteria, certain people are identified as being much better suited for leisure than for work. We talk about some of the criteria, as far as we've managed to figure them out, and we speculate about life as a person of leisure. We also answer a listener question about cake!

In a few billion years, our sun might not deliver enough energy anymore. Planning ahead, a group of people, called Star Catchers, are discussing moving another star to our solar system. And they're already making prototypes! Think big ropes and lots of telekinesis. In this episode we talk about the status quo and about some of the challenges that come with moving a star. As Simon puts it: "What's going on inside a star is very different compared to what's going on inside a boat."

Deja vu is a phenomenon of the ages. And during the ages, humanity has tried to find out what deja vu is and what causes it. Then the 23rd century came around and solved the mystery! Is it a technical or a biological phenomenon? Is it caused by alien influence or malfunctioning system updates? In this episode we'll discuss a few of the old ideas, before we reveal the real reason behind deja vu. And of course wonder how to pronounce it properly.

To become Boss of the Place, you just need to be the person who was somewhere last. This simple application of gamification originally caused many people to explore the world and still does to this day. In this episode we explain the concept in a bit more detail and talk about our own experiences too. We also talk about shoes made out of your own skin! And we finally got to use the word "vermilion" in an episode.

Why shop next door, when you can fly high up into the sky to a mall where things are cold and windy! After listening to this episode, you'll know exactly why. We join Marvin while he's shopping for bar supplies and we take the opportunity to sit down in the food court and record a live episode. We even got a spot next to the shuttle dock, so there's a constant flow of arriving aircraft, providing some awesome background sounds. Oh, and to top it off, we end the episode with a listener survey.

Marvin the robot is back as a guest, co-host and topic of the week. Remember how we came up with the crazy idea of making a bar that changes location all the time? Apparently, Marvin is the kind of person that doesn't just talk about things, but actually does them too. Not needing time to sleep kind of helps with that. Before we actually visit this rather elusive bar, we take the chance to ask Marvin all about it. Where has it been so far? How does it look? Does it have cats? Is there anything to worry about when going to the toilet? Important questions like that.

We're not kidding! Apparently there really is a new universe emerging, right in the middle of our current one. And here we were, thinking that 'universe' was kind of meant to include everything already. In today's episode we give you the answers to a few questions you might have and then ask many more questions ourselves! Up to the point where the real new universe can only disappoint.

You waited seven days for a whole new episode and all you got was "Artichokes"! Well, these inconspicuous little vegetables might just bear a little secret that neither you, nor we, saw coming. At least not until the aliens landed 25 years ago. We'll give a few hints; it has something to do with patterns, shopping and the difference between freshly produced and plainfully printed pizzas. Oh, and we also mention which movies we look forward to!

We have to 'face' the truth in this episode. The rock faces that we've known all our lives apparently weren't around in the 21st century. There are thousands of these massive rock heads scattered throughout the landscape, so they really couldn't have been overlooked. In this episode, we try to figure out what happened, without getting 'ahead' of ourselves. To make it even more interesting, Marvin joins us again, but this time as a co-host! 'Rock' on!
