Yeah.

You have the solution, Max.

I see it in your eyes.

You're going to be fine.

I promise you.

Yeah, so this is one of the stories that actually begins the book where I'm talking to a young man.

His name is Mark.

And Mark was kind of walking me through his day.

And, you know, he had...

moved from one city to another and he was working on Zoom.

And the result was it all added up to he didn't have enough to do.

And so he spent his whole day, he was winding up spending his whole day online and it made him feel really, really, really empty.

And he would even date online.

He would meet people.

And the problem with a lot of dating apps is that you meet

a lot of people, but you're not that attracted to them.

And that's a kind of another problem that I often talk about.

And so he meets this woman and they're having dinner and she starts talking to him about a dumb little problem she has.

She says, my garbage disposal is clogged up and I don't know what to do.

And he's like really kind of a mechanical guy.
