How online dating began. The creation of the McDonaldland universe. Some of the most overhyped 1980s athletes.

Episode 231 keeps the month of love going strong.

It starts off with a look at the origin story of online dating. Matchmaking has existed in one form or another for centuries. In the 20th century, we had personal ads and video dating services. Finally, as the Internet gained traction, the first dating website, Kiss.com, was born. We look at the good and the bad of online dating.

GenX kids have a deep connection to McDonald's. The food and fun are cherished memories for those who grew up in the 1970s through the 1990s. One unique part of the fast food giant was its McDonaldland universe. Think of it like the MCU with fast food. We go back and look at the creation of McDonaldland and why it still resonates with us today.

Some athletes deserved all the hype they got. Then there were these ones. This week's Top 5 looks at overhyped 1980s athletes. Style over substance, too much credit, prospects who failed. They're all represented.

There is a brand new This Week In History and Time Capsule looking back at the odd and fascinating story of the Devil's Footprints.
