And so I will never forget, Matt pulled up to pick me up at my hotel and immediately when I got in the car, I thought he was hot and I could tell I was going to get some great podcasting content from the night. And when we sat down at dinner, I was extremely upfront with him about this. I told him I had already banked 30 minutes of pre-date content.

And so whatever happened on the date, you know, obviously it's going to make it into the second half of the episode. He's like, you're insane. And I do remember like Matt definitely expressed that he would love if I didn't do that, but

But overall, his vibe was chill about the situation and it more became kind of like a joke of the night than something like serious that was deterring him from like having a good time. And Matt and I always say to this day, it was hands down the best first date we could have asked for. The date ended up being like three plus hours. We had really emotionally stimulating conversations.

And I think overall, we both were just really surprised at how much we liked each other after one date. So I got back to my hotel room and obviously I immediately podcasted about it. Every detail. But the debrief, to be fair, was like pretty fucking tame for my standards. I kept it PG. I'm pretty sure I just detailed like our make out behind the restaurant. Nothing that crazy.

And so the episode about Matt Kaplan went live 48 hours after the date. And Shortly after, I got a call from Matt himself. I remember in my hotel room, I pick it up. I'm all like giddy. I'm like, oh, he's calling. What does he want? And I remember he's like on the golf course outside and he's laughing because someone clearly had sent him the episode and he told me,

that he hadn't listened to it yet, okay? And he demanded that he hear from my lips what I said about him. And I obviously just gave him the top line. I did leave out, I'm pretty sure, the throbbing of my vagina when I looked at him and all those little, just little, little details that he didn't need to know. But overall, gave him the top line. We kept it fucking moving.

And he, again, kind of thought it was... funny and endearing and he was chill about it. It's not like he loved it, but the episode was harmless enough that he wasn't going to get mad at me. And so after that, we ended up hanging out almost every single night for two weeks straight when I was in LA. And when I got back to New York, there was this excitement that I had, but also this feeling of

a little bit of uncertainty because I think Matt and I were both so fucking happy with the time that we had just spent together. But I think we were also trying to be realistic and not get ahead of ourselves. He lived in LA. I still lived in New York. He was an adult. I was a little bit of a fucking degenerate. And there was just a lot of unknown variables.
