So the first time we smelt each other and actually we're in the same room.

But you've spoken for 50 hours at this point.

And I've learned that I like...

I, even if it's low, like we're in town, I'm not scared to go on a date, but let's say you and I don't know if we want to podcast with each other.

We could find out by doing a podcast or we could FaceTime for a little bit and see if like, we're, you know, if you think farting is funny and if we could go get tested.

For podcasting?

Yeah.

I think there is.

There's a reason that you...

Wanted to have me on the podcast.

Not that you still agree with that reason or that you don't, but like you got information.

It's all data collection.

I really believe that dating for the first X period of dates is less about-

uh, showing a person who you are and them showing who you are and more about, which I don't, I don't like this, but it's more about like showing up in a certain way that you're supposed to, and they'll do the same.

And then over time that degrades into who you actually are, but you can't show up as you actually are on a first date because they're going to be like, Oh, he farts on a first date.

What is he going to do on the second date?

I'm going to fart again.

So, so,

FaceTiming, I think, and it's not specific to FaceTime.

It could be like if, you know, we're not making a commitment to each other and you're on, you know, you're with a group of other people and like you're getting to see a little dynamic without feeling the pressure of needing to wear a certain outfit and ask how many brothers and sisters you have and like get to know the person.
