We met in the Hamptons.
We met in a share house. See, everybody? I know. This is why everybody loves the Hamptons. And this past summer, or excuse me, this past weekend, I was just at a wedding here in New York. I'm just going to toot my own horn for a second, where the couple met in a... House that I pulled together the summer that I was doing hot dog boy.
I was like in, in the middle, I was in middle America, like literally like I had half a hot dog in my mouth and my friends called me. We had done a share house in Montauk the previous couple summers. They're like, Walker, what's up? We're not doing it this year. And I'm like, what? Yeah. It makes sense. It's COVID. But I was like, absolutely not. Like, I'm going to make this happen.
So I called the landlord.
You can't leave me hanging with these glizzies like out here in Iowa. Like, come on. So like, this is... Montauk has been like the anchor tenant of my summers. Like, I am looking forward to... It's my Super Bowl.
So... I'm talking with my hands. I have to be better about talking with my hands. But I called the landlord of the house that we had rented the previous summer. And I was like, hey, we want the house. So I signed the lease with no one in it. And I was on the hook for like... It was only for two weeks. But still, it was like $20,000. Which I did not front. I didn't have $20,000.
I still don't have $20,000. But it was more... I'm going to put myself on the hook. So like, there's no option. Yeah. I have to make it happen. So I then made an Instagram story and like, hey guys, I have this house in the Hamptons. Like who's interested? Two weeks in August. And I just sort of sifted through. Were you public or private? I was public.
I was public, but I didn't have like a big following. Yeah. I had probably 4,500 or 5,000 followers, which is like sizable.
Well, that's kind of where we're going. Sorry, I'm jumping in.
Spoiler alert, yes. I basically would just sift through the responses. And it was a lot of people I knew, but like, okay, I know you. You're not really fun. Sorry, we're full.
But anyway, where I'm going with this is there was a guy who I sort of knew who went to the University of Chicago who was like a cool dude. And he was like, hey, I've got like eight guys. Well, he's smart. We know he's smart. Yeah, exactly. We know he's smart. He's an academic weapon. I was like, yeah, you and you have like six buddies. That's great. That's like half the rent right there.
Lock it in. And then this girl who I grew up with, who I... We weren't, like, super tight, but, like, we knew each other. We grew up going to the same, like, little club in Princeton together. We did, like, you know, squash camp together or whatever. So she... That's where... There's some Chad coming in.
I'm seeing. She was like, I have all these girls who want to join the house. And I was like, okay, great, because we can't have a house just with a bunch of Y chromosomes. We need to bring some girls into it. So... That's, it all happened kind of magically. And then two, one of the girls and one of the guys fell in love and they got married last weekend in New York.
So the Hamptons really, I mean, if you think about it, it's not rocket science. I mean, you put 30 people in a four bedroom house.
With mutual friends, people are going to end up falling in love.
People really need the Hamptons. That's going to be so good. But I agree. And it's, and I mean, I had never even, I'd never been to the Hamptons. I had never even heard of Montauk until I moved to the city in 2018. Right. And I went out there and, you know, I was the Wall Street.
It adds to the vibe. The atmosphere.
My friends, one of my friends calls vibes, vobes.
It adds to the vobes.
Okay, that's good. The Hamptons vobes. I like it. But long story short, we... Anna Catherine and I met in Amaganza. So that's the other thing. You know, there's kind of like a hierarchy. Look, just so nobody who's like a true Hamptons person flames me, I am well aware that I am like a total transplant. So when I'm talking, when I'm about to say this Hamptons hierarchy situation,
