How's my night going? 0:00:32.000 --> 0:00:32.200 Well? 0:00:33.120 --> 0:00:37.680 It's eleven is am where I'm at right now. I'm 0:00:37.760 --> 0:00:40.559 drinking a coffee. I'm having a good morning. I've been 0:00:40.600 --> 0:00:42.279 on a lot of kicks. I've been having a lot 0:00:42.280 --> 0:00:47.160 of epiphanies lately. I don't know if it's too early 0:00:47.200 --> 0:00:50.960 for me to share them, but I've been on I've 0:00:50.960 --> 0:00:55.760 been on a big like like I've I've been going 0:00:55.760 --> 0:00:58.320 through like a kind of a crazy like existential crisis 0:00:58.360 --> 0:01:00.360 and feeling like my brain is broken and it will 0:01:00.400 --> 0:01:02.840 never be fixed, and then I'm doomed. And it's crazy 0:01:02.880 --> 0:01:05.160 because when you feel that way, you kind of begin 0:01:05.240 --> 0:01:07.479 to feel as though nothing will ever, it will never 0:01:07.520 --> 0:01:10.120 get better, and then you like wake up and it 0:01:10.160 --> 0:01:14.080 typically happens to me at night more than in the morning, 0:01:14.440 --> 0:01:15.959 you know. And then I wake up in the morning 0:01:16.000 --> 0:01:17.880 and I drink a coffee and I do some push 0:01:17.920 --> 0:01:20.559 ups and I walk outside, and I'm like, oh, okay, 0:01:20.600 --> 0:01:23.679 it's not we have there's hope in the worlds, you 0:01:23.680 --> 0:01:25.840 know what I mean. And so every time I now, 0:01:25.840 --> 0:01:28.039 when I go into a spiral thought loop of like 0:01:28.080 --> 0:01:32.760 everything is gonna be awful forever, I remember that. A 0:01:32.920 --> 0:01:35.840 bunch of times I had that spiral thought loop and 0:01:35.880 --> 0:01:40.240 then went on to not think that way, you know, 0:01:41.080 --> 0:01:44.679 a week later, a month later, whatever the fuck it is, right, 0:01:45.360 --> 0:01:49.120 And it's you have to just keep relearning that that lesson, 0:01:49.840 --> 0:01:53.200 you know. But yeah, I'm more I feel like I'm 0:01:53.240 --> 0:01:58.240 learning a lot in the past, uh couple couple months 0:01:58.640 --> 0:02:03.880 that I've been and uh hanging out in Japan and uh, 0:02:04.440 --> 0:02:07.600 you know, big, big chilling. I've been learning a lot 0:02:07.640 --> 0:02:19.160 about uh life, myself, prosperity in the universe. Uh. And yeah, 0:02:19.280 --> 0:02:22.480 I'm feeling I'm feeling pretty good. I'm on a little 0:02:22.960 --> 0:02:26.280 rant to you right now. 0:02:26.360 --> 0:02:28.280 How you're kickings? 0:02:28.960 --> 0:02:31.600 I'm trying my bad this morning.

Mm hmm, kind of 0:09:58.120 --> 0:09:58.880 a late bloomer. 0:09:59.160 --> 0:10:01.480 I guess how. 0:10:01.320 --> 0:10:04.439 Did uh did you avoid alcohol for like any particular 0:10:04.679 --> 0:10:06.080 reason or you just never interest you? 0:10:07.600 --> 0:10:10.559 It just never interested in me until I went through 0:10:10.600 --> 0:10:15.600 like a long term relationship breakup and then I kind 0:10:15.600 --> 0:10:17.360 of dipped my toe into that world. 0:10:18.320 --> 0:10:18.800 Mm hmmm. 0:10:19.320 --> 0:10:22.040 That's a yeah, that's a that's a valid excuse, it's 0:10:22.040 --> 0:10:23.840 a valid reason to start drinking. 0:10:24.480 --> 0:10:24.640 Yeah. 0:10:24.679 --> 0:10:29.880 I think, Wow, this is so this is this is 0:10:30.000 --> 0:10:35.120 really adorable.

I think from from 0:11:00.559 --> 0:11:06.400 the last episode do how long were you were you 0:11:06.520 --> 0:11:13.240 swipping and swiping before you guys matched with each other? 0:11:15.200 --> 0:11:19.240 So I was I started hinge. So I never did 0:11:19.240 --> 0:11:22.480 any online dating either. I took like maybe like a 0:11:22.559 --> 0:11:26.400 two year break after my long term relationship, and then 0:11:26.520 --> 0:11:29.880 I kind of downloaded hinge as a joke. I wasn't 0:11:29.920 --> 0:11:32.240 going to take it seriously. And I think that was 0:11:32.240 --> 0:11:36.080 at the beginning of twenty twenty four, so like maybe 0:11:36.120 --> 0:11:39.599 like March of twenty twenty four is then like I 0:11:40.200 --> 0:11:44.640 started kind of dabbling in that went on most multiple 0:11:44.720 --> 0:11:48.320 dates with multiple people, and uh that was kind of 0:11:48.360 --> 0:11:52.440 a shit show and had some hard lessons, But like, 0:11:53.200 --> 0:11:55.400 I think I found a good guy this time. 0:11:56.360 --> 0:11:59.079 I'm looking right at I hope. 0:11:59.120 --> 0:12:01.559 So can I talk to Bryce? I want to hear 0:12:01.600 --> 0:12:03.440 what his journey's been back too. 0:12:04.160 --> 0:12:08.079 Yeah, Oh my god, Gek, I get to speak to 0:12:08.080 --> 0:12:08.960 you twice in one night. 0:12:11.880 --> 0:12:15.560 Yeah, man, what's how has your hinge journey been? 0:12:16.440 --> 0:12:16.640 Oh? 0:12:16.720 --> 0:12:17.040 Dude. 0:12:17.720 --> 0:12:19.480 So she put it really well. It was definitely a 0:12:19.520 --> 0:12:22.160 shit show. Although I will admit Hinge is way better 0:12:22.840 --> 0:12:28.320 than bumble, Tinder the others for sure, the more reliable app, 0:12:28.360 --> 0:12:30.360 I feel like. And it's not even that like I've 0:12:30.400 --> 0:12:34.880 ever done well with dating apps. However, I feel like 0:12:34.920 --> 0:12:38.520 the dates have been at least mid to good on 0:12:38.960 --> 0:12:42.320 the spectrum of most dates that I've probably had gone 0:12:42.360 --> 0:12:44.600 on on Hinge, which was really only kind of like 0:12:44.600 --> 0:12:48.319 a handful. But yeah, I don't know. I will say though, 0:12:48.520 --> 0:12:50.240 I was probably on it for like two years or 0:12:50.280 --> 0:12:53.440 something like that, and this is definitely, I think the best. 0:12:53.920 --> 0:12:56.240 Not I think it definitely is the best I've felt 0:12:57.400 --> 0:12:59.280 about someone that I had met on a dating app. 0:12:59.320 --> 0:12:59.720 For sure. 0:13:01.400 --> 0:13:02.120 That's so nice. 0:13:02.120 --> 0:13:02.960 He's looking at me. 0:13:03.480 --> 0:13:06.720 That's so nice.

I don't I really, I don't. 0:15:20.720 --> 0:15:25.240 Often the word wholesome makes me feel gross. I don't 0:15:25.360 --> 0:15:30.480 like it. It feels like performative and weird. But that 0:15:30.640 --> 0:15:35.040 was I I that was a very wholesome phone call. 0:15:35.080 --> 0:15:39.960 I really enjoyed that. And it's interesting again because on 0:15:40.000 --> 0:15:44.680 the last episode we talked to Mo about this dating 0:15:44.720 --> 0:15:46.840 app journey, and I think a lot a lot of 0:15:46.880 --> 0:15:56.080 people are uh uh disillusioned with like dating apps and 0:15:56.120 --> 0:15:59.400 with trying to find someone. And there's a lot of 0:15:59.440 --> 0:16:02.800 like content on the internet and a lot of like 0:16:02.960 --> 0:16:13.040 general I think social thought is kind of pessimistic, and 0:16:13.120 --> 0:16:17.160 so it was cool to talk to these two people 0:16:17.800 --> 0:16:22.880 who are like, you know, yeah, we met this year, 0:16:22.960 --> 0:16:25.320 and you can tell, you can just tell by the 0:16:25.400 --> 0:16:28.400 fact that they're sitting in the car in a parked 0:16:28.440 --> 0:16:34.920 car together calling me that they have a nice rapport 0:16:35.080 --> 0:16:39.480 with one another after a very short period of time. 0:16:39.840 --> 0:16:41.840 But it wasn't a short period of time.

It took two years 0:16:56.800 --> 0:17:01.160 to find the best one, and then you got uh 0:17:01.560 --> 0:17:03.880 at least She's like, yeah, I was in a long 0:17:03.960 --> 0:17:06.399 term thing, Like yeah, it's just it's just good to 0:17:06.520 --> 0:17:10.000 have a hopeful phone call because so much I think 0:17:10.119 --> 0:17:15.680 popular sentiment is a bit uh, a bit doo Marie, 0:17:16.520 --> 0:17:18.960 you know what I mean.
