Speaker 3: Look at that. That's awesome. There you go. So I

94
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 3: must assume that more people who met at these events

95
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 3: got together as well. You know, maybe maybe it didn't

96
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 3: turn out as happy as you guys, but that's that's crazy.

97
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,039
Speaker 3: That's how long we've been around, guys A long time.

Speaker 5: We never had a fight.

102
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, we stop stop saying that because we assumed

103
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 3: that everyone's.

104
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:05,440

143
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 3: We had some real clunkers at some of those shows.

144
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 3: I'm not saying she's a clunker.

145
00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, Gandhi, I think now's the time to bring it

146
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 6: back because people are lonelier than they've ever been. Everybody

147
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 6: complains about dating apps and how terrible they are, and

148
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 6: it's impossible to find somebody you just want to know

149
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 6: about that chemistry and you're face to face. Now is

150
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 6: the time.

151
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 2: Let's do it everything.

152
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 4: What people have to be able to, you know, to

153
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 4: actually communicate with one another, because everyone's always looked at

154
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 4: their phones.

155
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 2: It's a different time them up in those bags.

156
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 3: I Elvis, you may be interested. I've found a lot

157
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 3: of younger people aren't even trying the apps. They've already

158
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 3: given up on the dating apps.

159
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 2: Wow. Wow, so they want to just need somebody, like

160
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:35,280
