Thank you for having me.

Probably just getting older.

I think when you're younger, if you want to try something different, you do.

You want to switch your career, you do it.

You want to switch who you're dating, you do it.

You want to move to another country, you do it.

But I noticed as people get older...

concrete settles a little bit more and it's harder to just switch out.

And so those would-be switches start to turn into regrets.

And then they start to turn into that question in your head, if only I had taken that job, if only I had moved to that country, if only I had picked that different person to marry.

And so I realized that this is probably a pretty universal theme.

And I wanted to explore what would happen if you actually had the ability to do that and not to time travel

15 different times and do it over again.

That seemed kind of pointless.

But you get one more crack at it.

Would that second crack...

really be better, or would it just bring with it a whole new set of circumstances?

And as Alfie gets older, that's what he starts to discover.

And then he also learns of one particular caveat with the power that he didn't know about, and that is that it doesn't work with love.

And if you turn your back on a true love to try to go find somebody else,
