So stay tuned we're gonna just start right away with an icebreaker and our icebreaker is yes. Okay. Have you ever sent a dick pic? Have I ever sent a dick pic? I mean, yes, but yes, yes. Okay, and it's like, you can kind of explain your kind of, I mean, it was like, only like in a relationship. I've never done it. Yeah, obviously never done it to a stranger. Unsolicited, never unsolicited back. No, never. But yeah, you know, you're in a relationship and I wasn't I wasn't long distance relationship for a while. So yeah, so you got to work with. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. Okay, better. Worse. Make sense? We'll let it fly. Okay. Okay. So now, we're going to ask you just some questions for for me and for the audience that helps me get to know you just a little bit. Okay, so we're not just like talking to a complete stranger. Um, so what is your favorite movie? And if you don't have one, what's the last movie you watched? And did you like it? Okay, um, the last movie I watched was, I haven't watched the remake yet. Westside storage. last movie I watched so the 90s I've been wanting to watch the new one. But I'm like a little. I don't know how I feel about going to theaters right now. So yeah, I get that. I wonder when it's gonna be. I also really want to see that. Well, okay. I don't know if this counts as a movie. The most recent version of Westside story that I've seen was a 12 minute. Do you know that? Share me diversion. 12 minutes long. She plays every role. That's cool. That's really cool. That's all. Really I mean, I'm a huge musical fan. So I love watching. I mean, yeah, she's just very talented. So you know. Yeah. Cool. Well, I'll look it up. Okay, next. What is? Do you have a favorite band? If you don't have a favorite band? What was your top Spotify artists? If you've looked at that? Yeah. My favorite band and top Spotify artists is Dino the New Pornographers? Yeah, I really liked them. So they they're both for me. Didn't they come to Twilight? I saw them at twilight. Twilight. Okay. But it was a long time. My sister. I probably went with my sister. Who I got. We brought we were in the same crowd. Wow. Yeah. Love that. Have you been any? Did you go to any Twilight like concerts recently? Or because I haven't. No, I haven't because I I take care of a baby all day. I'm very paranoid about getting her sick because she can't get vaccinated. Smart. Ah, yeah, maybe it's outside. I feel a little bit safer. But I don't know. We'll see. If it's someone I really really, really like. What Sharon Van Etten, who I love just announced she's coming to Salt Lake but she hasn't announced the venue which I'm guessing is maybe Twilight. Probably her name is Sharon Van Etten. But it's also she's touring with two other people that I like Julian something I can't think of her name. Well, but I will add Yeah, I'll add her to my list of people. Oh, she's so good. Well, I'm excited. Um, okay. So I think you would Yeah, I feel like the new parent of hers. I think you're like that her. Okay. What is your job, but don't tell me where you work? Because, you know, no stalkers or anyone? Yeah, I work. I do like market analysis. Okay, so. Do I like it? Um, it's okay. Um, you know, it's okay. It's okay. Okay. That works. Yeah. So what do you do? Do you take care of a baby and I am a I am a nanny right now, but I worked as a screenwriter for three years, and then COVID really mess that up. And I don't have any like, none of the scripts I wrote, have been made yet. So I have nothing. I have a question for you. Oh, Um, did you do stand up for a while? I Yes. Okay. I might have like search for your name because it came up at Google. Yeah. Anyway. Yeah. That's very cool. Yeah. I just, I just bought tickets to a comedy show. I'm very excited. Like, it's something April though. Do you know? I can't think of it. I swear I love her. I think it's Melissa vs. In your she's on SNL. Oh, yes. Yeah. Yeah, I asked her Pavelski who's really great. Yes, coming. But she's but she's coming in like a week and I don't know. We'll see. Yeah. Yeah, I'm excited. I want to go to that. But we'll see. Yeah, who knows when it's hard to it's hard to. It's hard to. Yeah. Okay, last question. And you can interpret this in any way you want to. Okay. What's wrong with you? What's wrong with me? Um, I have my therapy session in the morning, if you'd like to just like we can just switch this to this. Just hurry and switch over to that. Yeah. Like it can be dating or just like something. So has come up with dating, I think. I've come to a point where I've realized, like, my whole life I've been trying to, like, find somebody to be with and like, that's been like the goal. Yeah. And I'm shifting that. Now. I think I don't want that to be like the one goal I want. Like, yeah, to be the best version of myself. And like, that sounds super cheesy and annoying. But like, I just Yeah, I don't want to be all about like, who I'm with. As much as I used to be. I think I struggled with like codependency a lot in the past. Yeah. And I'm like, just like, sharing all my red flags. But you know, I just really want to like, focus on myself. And if that's with someone, that's great. If that's not with someone, that's also great. Fair, I want to I mean, that's, I least you are, you know, you know about it, right. Hopefully, and just like two steps, forward, one step back, sometimes the opposite. Yeah. But I also think that's also a very Utah culture. We're kind of I mean, I don't know if you're from here. Are you from here? No, I was raised, you know? Oh, yeah. That's all right. Yeah, that is, yep. Yep. Yeah, I mean, that's a lot of my 20s for about that. And then you know what? I'm gonna like, I'm gonna like hanging out with me. Is this the type of do I get to also ask that question back to you, or is that oh, yeah, yeah, yes. What's wrong with me? Yeah. Okay, let me choose one that I haven't shared yet. I have shared that. So people who listen to the podcast are gonna know everything that's wrong with all right. Um, I think what I have has happened in the past with with my boyfriend's is that I like being alone a lot. And lots of people, you know, need to hang out to be able to feel like they're part of a relationship. Yeah. Which I like hanging out with people. But I also like, sticking to a certain schedule. And so it's really hard for me to be like, Oh, I can't like cook dinner at this time or workout at this time, because I've to hang out with you. So basically, I just want to fast forward to the part of a relationship where you're, like, comfortable enough to be around each other to do those things together. But that takes a while. So that's, that's fine with me. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Well, and I get that though, like I've been, I've been on both sides of that. And it's like, it's, it's hard like finding someone that can bounce and like, you can really like, happen. I don't know. I actually, yeah, one of my exes. I felt like like that a little bit too much that I liked being alone. So we would never hang out. And I was like, Oh, wait, this is not relationship and Good times. Good. Okay. Yeah. Okay, we can move I was. I mean, it was sometimes he was a nice person. I've dated nice people is just like, doesn't work. Doesn't work. Right. Okay. We're gonna have some over generalized questions about men. And so basically, you're answering behalf of all men. Yeah. And if you're, if you don't really know, try taking a guess because most of a lot of these I feel like people don't really do or do a lot of these things. So okay, let's just take your best guess. Okay. Yes, let's see. Okay, I have like, a stack of cards and I'm not gonna look at it. You're just gonna get a surprise. Okay, This one is actually a really interesting one. And, and I might have to explain it a little bit. Okay, why do men submit to the male power fantasy and not the female gaze while making their profiles? Which basically, do you get? You're essentially asking in like a different way of asking Why are men so attracted to Ryan Reynolds when women are not? Oh my god? Yes. Yeah. Okay, so something about me I am I'm bisexual. I usually send them on first date, because like, I've had people like, not love me just like the worst. Okay, yeah. Yes. I don't understand. I don't understand. straight men just really think that women want Ryan Reynolds? Or? Yeah, I don't I yeah, I don't understand it. I read this whole article about it. It was so it was so interesting. Yeah, I don't know. That was actually one of my questions. That I'll just tell you, because it's no longer part of the pile because I took it out. But it was, Why do men want to fuck Brad Pitt so bad? And then I was like, but you can replace that with Ryan Reynolds. Like, what is it about those men that straight men feel comfortable with being like, yeah, I Well, maybe that's a great. I don't I don't have an answer to any of these questions. He's like, he's like middle school. Funny. Yeah, I think Yeah. So like, maybe that's like something they're into. They connect with like, their younger selves, I guess. Yeah. Suppose I don't know. It's there. I'm gonna tell you it is a very interesting, like, how many men use that in their profiles that they love Ryan Reynolds. It's a new. Yeah. Got a Hold on. Is he old enough? Is it 2024? He's old enough for me to objectify Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Very, very much in the house. Yes. Yes. I haven't watched the new don't look up with him in it. But he sees me neither. Yeah, I watched the dune with Yeah. And it was just kind of boring. Don't tell that to some people. I know. I don't watch it. Oh, yeah. I well. It's the people who like are obsessed with the books and stuff. Oh, I hear the second one's supposed to be like, a little bit better. I don't know. extremely attractive, though. Yeah. First day is like in it for two minutes or something. And I was like, that's your robbed. I am pissed off. She's gonna be and like, I'm like, I've just started euphoria. So I'm having a good time. Oh, there's so many decks and that every time you episodes in, and I don't know, I can't remember if I've. Every time I've watched it, yeah. If there is a deck on the screen, my sister has walked in on that for timing. And every single time it is a penis, and I'm like, I don't know what it is. But you just like as soon as you walk into the room. Yeah. So but yeah, I really enjoyed watching her I was terrified. If that's the reality for teens. I think it's kind of not the the guy who created it. wrote this movie called assassination nation. And it's a very similar vein of like, he pretends that that's the reality of teenagers and like, convinces the audience I don't know any teenagers that that's really what's happening. It would be so. Yeah, and I saw it as I think I started at Sundance. I like 12am and it was just like this wild wild ride to watch that when you're like, tired and yeah, what was it good though? Yeah, but it's really it's it's really good. It's a great movie. I and it wasn't as like terrifying. Yeah, I mean, it's pretty terrifying. Not but not in the reality of euphoria feels like a reality that one doesn't really so. Okay, okay. Okay, yes, let's see. Let me find I shouldn't look gotta be a surprise Okay, are you on tick tock? I am Yeah, watch tick. Have you watched okay, there's this like, weird phenomenon with tick tock where like, they make many movies of themselves and it's always these young dudes who have these like weird I'm saving women fantasies that they do. Okay? i It's really hard. I feel like we can't do this one because I feel like I would have to share it. Share something to you because it's very mind boggling because you wouldn't think this would be a reality. Yeah, I was gonna say explain it. What is this thing with young? They're like teenage boys. Yeah. And they have these weird fantasies where it's like, they really care about their ex girlfriend and her new boyfriend is like telling her she needs to lose weight and then he's crying for her because he's like, my poor girlfriend. New boyfriend doesn't know her like I do. Yeah, yeah. Um, first of all, I'm so sorry that you are on that side of Tik Tok? No, I did it to myself. I did it to myself. 100% I'm fascinated with these people. These like rabbit holes. Oh, yeah, yeah. Wow. I don't know. Why do they want that? I guess like they want to feel like strong and like, right. Like, maybe that's why they're like, also like, it's the same as the other question. They just want to feel strong, strong men in their lives. Yeah, I feel like it's but it's also they're trying to be like, trying to show that they're sensitive. So it's like, they're trying to show that they're like, like, manly men. Also, they know that women want men who will cry for them if their new boyfriend is mean to. I don't know. It's just really, really gems. Yeah, I'm on the inside of TiC tock and I so funny. Yeah, I mean, I've, I follow I'm more on Instagram. Like, her name is really hard to say grace. And her last name starts with a K but she was on this TV show. I was watching and I was like, That's so awesome that she went from like doing these funny sketches on Tik Tok to being on and actually Oh, actual TV show will do. Megan Stalter Yes, she's great to do you don't watch The Bachelor at all? No, okay. Well, there was someone. Oh no, there was someone who went from Tik Tok to being the Bachelorette. Katie and she's. She's not. That's all. We don't love Katie. I mean, people probably do. But I think the wrong Yeah, I watched them like very first bachelor. When I was a child. It was still in like a four three aspect ratio. Oh, yeah. It was like, and the guy was like, 40 I don't know if they're that anymore. Guys really old and the women are really? Yeah, but yeah, I haven't watched it. I don't know. I have a hard time. I but I do love reality TV shows. I don't know what the reality TV shows you into that. 90 day fiance is yes. Number one. It just repeats itself so much, though. Oh, yeah, it does. But they're, I don't know. It's a new type of weirdness. And sometimes it's like, there's actual very adorable couples on it. Like last season, their first gay couple on it. They actually really love each other and it's really cute. And they'll just get caught up to it. It's very, very good. Okay, yes. Now we're moving on to, I printed out your email. So I haven't left here. We're gonna we're gonna look at your profile. So basically, what's going to happen is I'm gonna tell you why. I think you chose the photo or prompt. This is exciting. Yeah, please. And then and then you can tell me like the actual reason. Okay, and these get these get a little bit weird because it's my brain. No, this is fun. This is fun. I've never done this. So. Okay, so I have to say you have really beautiful teeth. And I have like, I just I can't help it when somebody has beautiful teeth. I have to tell them. So your first picture your teeth are really the standout? Cuz you just yeah, there's so so just like, perfectly shaped. And I'm embarrassed about something I don't know if you've noticed. I'm wearing the same sweater in that picture that I am currently wearing. Oh, how dare you? That's okay. I didn't Yeah. Okay, so here's why I think that you you chose that is to tell people that you that if you have babies with them, you won't they won't need braces, or that you went through having braces so you know how it feels to commit to something or wait to see result? No, I had I had an ex that told me that I had a kind smile on this photo and I thought but a kind smile was a good thing for a dating profile. Yeah, that is yeah, that's okay. That's basic. That's kind of the same thing. Yeah. Hey, you hit it. You hit the nail on the head. Okay, perfect. Okay. I do have another question. All of your, all of your you're just You look like a very active, adventurous person. And I was like, Do you ever sit? I was like, I'm gonna ask him if you watch his movies, and he's gonna be like, I don't have time for that. I'm always out. We're working on this sitting. Yeah, you like to go out and well, you know, it's like when you when you when you stop moving, then you have to sit with your thoughts. And that's never that's true. No, yeah. I get that. That's why I'm always watching like movies. So I didn't ask you. Can we take a quick aside for oh, yeah, yeah, um, honestly, my uncool movie. That's really what I watch like once a month is Pride and Prejudice 2005 With Keira Knightley. Okay, there's something about it. That's very calming to me. I also, I took a college course that was all Jane Austen, and I became obsessed with just her and her life. And I just love Pride and Prejudice. And it's so pretty, and the music's great. And the music is great. I used to listen to that soundtrack like on repeat, study. Yeah. Okay. The one flaw. The one flaw Yeah, the 2005 one conference is better Mr. Darcy. Okay, you know what? He was, um, people think that and actually people who love love, Pride and Prejudice would like be like you don't love pride, pride and prejudice because you don't love the Colin Firth version. And it for me for some reason every time like I watch it, just the production value is not very You're right. Hi, you're so it's hard for like, the the sound and like they're like clumping around. No, no, it's just too distracting for me, I guess. But no, I know. I think you're right. That just I wish they could I wish I could just like transplant Colin Firth into the new one. Yeah, and it'd be interesting though, because, my what's his name? Matthew. McFate and I he in any other role, like I don't find him like that attractive. But Maybe he knows something about his nose is so hot and they don't know what yeah, they transform him into like a totally didn't understand, like, I wouldn't even recognize him. First, and the Pride and Prejudice helped me realize that I did like, man. Yeah, there you go. I do. I need to hide just need his hair is really great. And I want to I just I don't know what it is. Okay, I'm so sorry. Yes. Let's continue. Okay, the choice of getting us with the My Heart Will Go On record or bet that was it was very brilliant. Is that because you want us all to know that you're funny, but also reminding us of the classic love story of Jack and Rose on Titanic? Yes. Wow. You're nailing this. You're really just setting up for some Titanic jokes like on my way they never have but like maybe someday. Yep. Wow, perfect. Sorry, I needed. I knew. So you just were like this is a perfect mix of comedy and romance. Right? I think so. Thank you. So I feel like I'm Celine Dion. The Celine Dion song would come out on at like midnight. As a kid. When I was like trying to sleep I had this TV and I'd wake up and it'd be Celine Dion singing that song. Oh, is that good memory or bad memory? Oh, it is it is my sister was so obsessed with Titanic. She She's four years older than me. So she was like, 13 or, like the perfect age for her to when it came. Yeah. And I wanted I was obsessed with my sister. And so I begged my dad to take me as an eight year old to Titanic, which is a three hour movie. Oh, yeah. My dad took me Wow. My dad took me to that movie. As an eight year old. Yeah. Which was wild. And I remember he he closed my eyes for the the the boob the car. But I was no because I remember watching the car and not understanding what was happening. I thought Jack was dying because she's like, you're shivering and I was like, Well, it's good. So yeah, Titanic was very important, but that was a great good job of this. Okay. Okay. So how often would you say you're outside again? This has to do with you like your pictures and just like overall Yeah, I cry. I I think I'm outside. What I barely gone outside at all today. So today is not a great example but most days today, the air is terrible. It's so bad. Yeah, I tried to go outside. You know, most days I'll try to do like a morning. I like ski a lot. So we'll try to do like a morning lap up. You know the cottonwoods before work. Dedication. Yeah, super fun. So you're outside a lot. Do you have a really good sunblock? They? I do. Yeah. I look really awful in it. Do you know what the zinc oxide ones that are like a stick? Oh, so like, I use that on my face. Especially when it's like snowing outside. I'll use that. Reflection. Yeah. So you've seen the picture of Mark Zuckerberg on the wakeboard? Oh, yeah, I fully I go full of Mark Zuckerberg on the whiteboard when I'm one of my side sometimes as you should, you should. And I feel like I sunburned very easily. And the first time I went skiing, I didn't think about putting on sunblock. And I was in junior high. And I didn't have goggles, but I had huge sunglasses. So I looked like I had. Yeah, I had a goggle tan, but people thought I was cool. Yeah, they were like, Oh, you went skiing? And I was like, Yeah, is there like goggle tans but do you. Now I have the person who taught me was a professional skier at one point, but I I struggle with like not being fired. If I'm not like great at something pretty quickly that I'm like, screw this. Yeah, no. I really wanted to play tennis for about a week and it was the same. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yep, I get that. So totally. Yeah. Okay. Yes. This is a very, this is the weirdest one yet, but we'll get through it. You have a photo with a moustache is this so we can imagine you as an old timey light housekeeper. But you might but you probably wouldn't go in saying this. And I said, this might be too niche. I haven't watched that movie yet. I love the you know, ya know what I'm talking about. Okay. Lighthouse. I've been meaning to watch it. I hated it. Oh, okay. Well, but it just seems so slow. It is so slow. And I was so angry because they build up this thing and you think it's gonna be a big reveal and it's nothing and I was so mad but all the all the men that I have talked to have enjoyed it. And maybe it's just because I have a woman brain but I have to say Robert Pattinson and a mustache. Was that was that was your present the reason it was on my list? Yes. Because we want Robert Pattinson vibes and but you would survive? Yeah, I would hope so. Spoiler ish. Oh, you know, I've heard it's not good. So I think you should watch it and just decide for yourself because but me and my friend had a debate about it. And I think I won. But I'm sure you did know the most nice pictures on those because I currently have mustache. And I don't shock people. You know, do you like what do you think? Do you think people will be like, ah, mustache? A little worried? Like maybe they'll think like, Oh, this guy's like deceiving me? Maybe I just love a mustache. So like, yes. To me. It's like a good point. But some people they might. Yeah, well, it's on there just for that. Perfect. So I basically guess everything correctly? I really have. Yeah, I'm a genius. local files. Yes. Okay, we're gonna move on to our next segment, which is, would you rather Yes. These are ones that I thought would maybe be hard for some. It was basically I picked them because I thought they were hard for me to choose. Okay, would you rather party with JLo and an athletic or Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson already knew the answer before you said the second JLo I don't know. I don't care who else is there? I just want to be at the table. That would be I hear she's scary to some people. But I think if you're invited to a party, it would probably be great if she like wants me there. I just loved I mean, I love everything she's done. But what was the movie she did about the the Was this the strippers I think right? Yeah. Um, I can't. I can't think of what it's called. Anyway, loved it. She's amazing. Yeah, yes. She was said she was like, come into my fire. Yeah. And her and her does her pole dancing was so good. And they had Lizzo. And they have just this. Yeah. It was a great movie. And I think that got nominated for something called. I don't know. Should have. Yeah, I wasn't sure. Yeah. Okay, so that was an easy one. What would you say? Was you pick Pete Davidson? No. Okay. I would pick JLo. I feel like me Kim Kardashian. I don't she she's, you know her. She's cool for some people. Oh, wow. And oh, boy, they're, they're engaged. I think. What Pete David did? I don't know if it's true. We need to confirm this. That is all. Maybe not, maybe not. Maybe? I would, but I don't. I honestly, I don't think I read it. I think I was told this by a friend. So I think it might be sure. But anyway, there is maybe. Yeah, Pete Davidson. I also don't really think he's that funny. Some people, you know that. They're all about I like his weekend updates. But oh, yeah, those are funny. I was wrong, especially in Gun Kelly and St. vibes. They're basically categories. It was those Yes. Yep. Yep. Sorry. Yep. Okay, now here. Okay. That makes sense. Okay, so next one. Would you rather be able to read minds or predict the future? Predict the future? I don't want to know what people make of me. Right. I Yeah. 100%. Agree. I would not want to know what's most most people's minds? Yeah. So it's less that like, I want to read the future and more. I just don't want the other one. Maybe though, if I could read animals minds? Because sometimes, I have a lot of cats. Oh, how many? Some of them have four cats. Wow. And some of them have health problems, and they just refuse to let us save their lives. Like they make it the most difficult thing. So if I could read, I mean, I guess I'd want to communicate not really read their minds, like hopefully, somehow we'd be able to understand each other and I'd be like, Hey, I'm trying to save your life. And I'd be like, Okay, fine. I'll eat this delicious yogurt that you're giving me and I really, really easier. I read a really awful fantasy series about a girl who could talk to animals. Oh, well, it was a call the sirloin queen or something like that. Oh, okay. I feel like that sounds very familiar. I don't know pop culture happy hour if you listen to them. Okay, they recommended it. And it was not it wasn't one of their best recommendations. Okay. Okay, so I'll see ya. Okay. Next one. This one? Would you rather solve world hunger or solve world global warming? Oh, no. I feel like I feel like I'm gonna answer global warming. Because that I agree. Right? Because there won't be a planet for to help solve world hunger. Right. That's like the first thing we need. Yeah, we needed resolve that first. Yeah. And like I said, a few minutes go away. The world is sorry. Yeah, that's fine. Yeah. Yep. Okay. Global warming. I. I agree. I agree with this. Okay. Have you ever had someone who like completely disagrees with you politically on this podcast? I feel like that would be a good time. No, but everyone, I accidentally, I'm kind of working up to that. I feel like I gotta like, get some like normal people that I like, get along with and then I can work up to that, but there was a guy you are. There's a guy who I accidentally swiped right. And he has devil makeup on in his first photo and has like, this seems scary. Yeah. But I was like, Do you think I should let him on the podcast? And everyone's like, yes. And then I look and he's like, conservative. And just like the opposite of someone that I would like to hang out with. But everyone tells me I gotta have a minute. So I'm scared. But I feel like I have to make but I feel like I have to make a different email address, because I don't want to. Yeah, because he was like, I was like, So does this mean you want to be on the podcast is like if I if I get to talk to you? Yes. And I was like, Oh, okay. So we'll see. Maybe. I don't know. Well, I'm excited for you. I do. I do think that I'll work up to it. But right now, I want to talk to interesting people. Well, that would have been a hard question for them. Oh, yeah, they would be like it. Oh, yeah, we ate feeding. Hungry people deserve to be hungry. Sorry. That's what Yeah, I would predict economics. Yep. Yeah, we'll see. Well, maybe one day we'll get there. Okay. Okay. Next segment. Yes, I have. I don't remember which order I put this in. So you might be but I have this theory that men think that they've been on bad dates. But I felt like they really have it. So I want to know if you've been on a bad day, and let's hear the story. I don't think I have. Yeah, I don't think I've been on too many bad. Like, I've been on dates where like, you're like, instantly like, okay, like I'm on. Or like, you can see their eyes that just like instantly, like, okay, they're not into me. Yeah. So like, I guess I'll just like nothing, like weird or terrible has happened. There was a weird, so I had a weird day once. And it was totally my fault. And I feel really bad about it. Yeah, it was from dating app. And so there were these two women who had matched with both of them strangely, had the name Sue, which is like not a very common name. Yeah. And I was talking to both of them. One of them was like, a little bit more like, I was like, oh, like, she seems really cool. Like, just from her profile. The other one was, like, you know, having fun talking to her. Like, what I was just talking to them about? Yeah, I had gotten both of their phone numbers and saved them into my phone and was talking to texting. Do you ever give out your phone number to people? I know, some people don't? Um, I do. If I yeah, I felt like I do. If you hit a certain point. Yeah. Somebody and you like think that? Yeah, I had kind of hit that point. I was like, yeah. And then anyway, I was texting both of them. One of them. The one that I was, like, less less attracted to just from profile. I was like, Okay, this is kind of fizzling out. That's fine. So the other one is on a date, and we're getting ready to talk goes and she. So I went to the place, they were going to get tacos, and walks in the other girl. And I realized I had saved because they're both on the same day. So I'd saved their name. But it turns out, she was really cool. Like she was the person who was more fun to talk to anyway, so we didn't go on another date. I think both of us were not really into it. But yeah, it was I mean, it turned into like a good experience. I didn't tell her because that would have been very rude. Yeah. But that was that was the weirdest dating experience I've had. And that's 100% My fault. And I felt awful. But I'm hoping. Yeah, I want so Irish people have really weird names like, they they like, like see your Sharon in like the way her name is spell is so strange. Basically, that's where the story is. going, yeah. But I matched with this guy. And he was Irish. And his name was like something so wild. And I knew that I had to like, look it up. So I didn't say his name wrong. But then I like did it like I get this like weird in my head where it's like, okay, you have to remember, this is how you say his name. You have to remember this. And then I just totally like it flew out of my brain because I was anxious about it. So a whole time I was like, I don't know how to say it. I was like trying to plan on like, meeting up with people. Yeah, and then it turned into a bad day. I don't know, that's not even a good story is just some a little bit related to yours. Do you have any specific like bad dates that you've been on? I mean, well, with that with that guy. He went, he got too drunk, which was annoying. Yeah. And it was at a place that I like I worked at, and the bartender was like, What is going on with this guy? And I was like, I don't know. And he started fighting with this woman at the bar, not like he it was so weird. He was fighting about because she was gonna go fly to like Africa and help children or something. And he's like, that doesn't make sense. You shouldn't do that. Nobody should ever want to help starving people. Yeah, but he was like saying it makes less sense for you. You should be giving them money that you're spending there directly to them. Like don't go there. Just give him the money or would spend what kind of I mean, it sort of makes sense. Not a bad yeah, but, but he was talking to this woman and like fighting with her for so long and just ignoring me. And then he was like joking about hitting someone with a pool ball. And I was like, This is not good anymore. I don't you don't so am I am I okay to ask where it was? Yeah, it was at groovies lunches, the pub. Yeah, and So we were like, went to go watch a movie and he got too drunk out of the movie. We're just hanging out the bar, like the pool tables. And then I was like, Cool. Well, if you don't stop fighting this woman, I'm gonna leave you here. And then he wouldn't, so I just left. never talked to you. That's good. Yeah. Yeah, I've, I feel like every day I go on, it's just weird. I don't know, what is it? I mean, there's men sock. Well, there was one guy who told me that he thought he was an actual hell because he tripped so hard on acid and fell into a body of water and broke his neck. And then he woke up and he was like, and everything was the worst. And so now I believe that I'm in hell, as like, interesting. And yeah, the reason why he went on a date with me was because he fell in love with a girl. And like Guatemala that had my name, where he broke his neck. And he was like, I thought maybe there was something like, she's trying to tell me and I was like, nope. How long did you stay? Stay on this day. I had to drive him home because his ride left him and he lived in like, 40 minutes away from Salt Lake City. So and the crazy part was that he would call me every day and talk about Jesus to me, like every day for like, a year. It was so weird time. Wow. And I was like, too nice to be like, No, don't talk to me anymore. Yeah. It's very different. To the two bad dates, though. Because the first one you were like, I'm leaving. And so like, I know, left. But I was a lot younger. I was like, I was 19. With the acid guy. Yeah. That I was like, 25 with. Oh, that's funny. I'm so sorry. That's awful. It's okay. I have good stories now. Yeah, that's what's really important. Like, I have a podcast. I know. Right. Okay, so we're gonna move on to our next segment, which is dating do's and don'ts. But really what I'm saying is like, let's talk about, like, red flags you see on profiles first, like anything that you're like, oh, no, that's not for me. Um, I guess immediately No, to when people say moderate, I just like left. Immediately. I doesn't make any sense. But then I'm like, the Christian moderate. I'm like, Whoa, I wonder if they're Mormon and they like, they feel like they can't be liberal. So So Mormon, moderate is liberal to them. Yeah, I don't know. But yeah, like, Christian moderate, and then I go like, look at like, do they drink alcohol? Yep, that's that's the that's the key point. Yep. Yep. So yeah, that's a no for me also, like very religious is a no for me. I'm like, I'm very agnostic. And like, yeah, and it's not it's nothing against them. It's just like, I don't think I'm what they want. Really? So yeah, religious is a no for me. Other than that, I don't I don't know if I have too many politics. I'm two big ones. But like, you know, but those I felt like those are very telling of a person. Yeah. So what are what are your still? Well, so if I was like on here on for like dating, definitely. Anything moderate conservative and conservative hell, hell now. But I think that it's important for people to like, have pictures where they're like, with people or like doing something because I feel like there's just so many just guys, there was one guy who had like five selfies in the same chair. And it's just like, do I wonder like, do you? Are you alone? I'm fine with being you being a loner, but it's just like, I want to see like what you like to do or like, something about you. Do you have friends? You know, I recently was, I went to CES before Omicron. So I was going to I was going out a little bit more. I went on a date. Are you there? I think it froze. Okay, no. And the girl that I went with, we were there at the bar, and then have you been to tf is at tf brewing. Oh, yeah. Yeah. So they live like games for people to play in Jenga, like truth or Jenga. So we saw a group of people playing that and they invited us to play and it turns out the guy that was there had never had any dating profiles, but he wanted one. So we got to make him one. But it was so funny to see like, it was so fun because he wanted to put like selfie after selfie. Like he wanted to put a picture himself on there. And the girl that I was on the day with and then, you know, I, the two of us was like no, like, give us your phone like, is it safe to look through your photos? We're gonna take photos for you. I think I liked it. And we helped him. Yeah, it's very fun to make profiles. Yeah. Lots of pictures of his lifestyle on his phone. Yeah. I love the pictures, manual posts, it's like them and then they'll like, put a dot over somebody's face. For some reason I find it hilarious. I don't know, if they made a joke about I would maybe be okay with it. But it's just like, I don't know. That's funny that you've that just like pick a different picture, but maybe they don't have any. Yeah. Um, but yeah, I think I think I'm pretty. I'm pretty open to to people. I like meeting new people. Yeah. So let's talk about green flags. Anything that you're like, like, you see, and you're like, Well, I have to match with that person because of whatever. I don't. green flags. Is the fact that I think more about the red flags than that. No, that's totally Yeah, that makes sense. I think I'm like, just, I agree. And it's weird, because I don't have pictures with my friends on my dating profiles. But I like to new things. Yeah. Give me your I like your sorry, go ahead. No, I was gonna say exactly what you're saying. Which is just, you know, like people that like, have hobbies that they like, or people that have friends that they hang out with. When people's profiles are funny, like, yeah, love, love funny people. So I, I agree with that. I'm always like, the less funny person or relationship so I like need them to be like, I'm looking for that. They carry the humor. Yeah, I would love that. I just want to be like their audience. So those are some green flags, I guess. You know, therapy. Green flag for me. Yeah. But I feel like a lot of women have figured out that therapy is good and less men have so maybe it's Yeah, but I feel like that's true. What are you do you have any green flags? Or? Um, I mean, I have so I really, really love like British comedies. And I never have anybody to talk to them about. Yeah, because nobody watches the ones I watch, I guess. Yeah. So um, yeah, I have yet to have. So my favorite comedian is James, a caster, who's a British comedian. So if anyone said that they like him. I will be like, what? That's wild. Let's talk about him. But funny. I love him so much. He's hilarious. Okay, I've never seen him in anything where I've only seen his like, stand up stuff for him like yeah, interviews. Does he? Yeah. What so so I'd be watching with him in it because he, he's not in a show. But I want but you should watch taskmaster, if you he's in a season of taskmaster. But taskmaster is basically, this British. It's kind of like British people have like a ton of panel show. So it's like just comedians coming together to do weird, right? Yeah. So that's where I'm Yeah, taskmasters. Basically, this guy makes up tasks for for them, the comedians to do and then the host of the show, picks who wins. So it's like weird stuff, like, make the biggest circle that you can with, with this, this equipment, and it's just like, weird stuff like that. But it's always so funny. So I highly recommend watching that my internet's on YouTube. It's on YouTube. I will watch it. My introduction to him was when it was right when who's the comedian who was making fun of trans people and he's awful. Okay, so it was Ricky Gervais that he was talking about stand up. I know what you're talking about. I was introduced to it when another comedian was being awful to trans people. Yeah, it was Dave Chappelle, Dave Chappelle. So yeah, I figured it was about I didn't know it was Ricky Gervais, but I kind of just could feel it was about Ricky Gervais. Yes. So that was and it was so funny. Just He's so good. He's so good. He has Netflix special. It's like five episodes highly recommend watching it. Oh, we're gonna watch all it's called repertoire. But yeah, like anyone. One of my favorite British TV shows is called staff let's flats which is so hard for American brains to comprehend what I'm saying. Yeah, the guy's name is Staff. Sta th let's is like renting and then flats is apartment. So it's basically this guy who rents out apartments and it's like, oh, that's so good. I love it. So like anyone who likes that stuff. I love talking about TV shows and comedy so like, but I think I haven't seen it, but I assumed that I would be like, Yeah, I want to talk to someone about it. So please, like Let's talk about about that show. Yeah, any of those shows? There's a show called ghosts. That's also amazing that there's an American version that came out, but I don't I suspect it's not as good. But yeah, I don't know. I feel like just finding people finding people I get along with. Yeah, humor is great. Yeah, well, yeah. I get that. I mean, yes. You understand? We, we have a similar Yeah, well, but the thing is, I feel like in a relationship, you'd be the funny person. So like, I mean, oh, you don't have to go. No. I think I make people laughs Yeah, occasionally. Yeah. Maybe. So far in my relationships. I happen the funnier person. Did they say that today? Acknowledge that. Those good Hey, Dad, they were nice. So yeah, I did i i can say that. I've dated some stinkers. But like, the people that I've had, like actual relationships with have all been really great people, and I don't hate any of them. Well, they're nice. So Okay. Yep. Okay, we're so good. We're gonna go to the last question, and then I'm hanging up immediately. That's what I do. All right. Ready? Yeah. Are you ready? So are you a little bit in love with me now? I mean, of course, yes. All right. Who knew that I would get along with somebody who never said I love sitting, sitting is one of my favorite activities. But what a cool dude. And let me tell you those teeth.
