what's up listeners it's your boy kareem rahma i have a very special little mini episode of subway takes the podcast in front of the regular episode of subway takes the podcast with will bennett i'm joined today by my good friend and producer of subway takes and co-founder of subway takes and just all around great guy uh andrew quo andrew quo how the hell are you
Wow, that's so nice of you to give such a wonderful greeting. I'm doing great.
I mean, I think many people think that this is a one-man show, the one-man operation.
Well, I think that's just because, you know, you're the type of guy that can get so much done that it seems like, like an octopus, you have your hands, your tentacles, and so many things. One could not possibly do it all, but, you know.
Yeah, but I always tell people the secret to my success is that I work with a lot of people. Collaborator. I'm a collaborator.
You are a collaborator. You love a collab. You love having Kareem X something. I love collab posts.
I'm a collab post kind of guy.
You are a collab post kind of guy.
Well, I'm excited. We just recorded with Willa Bennett, who is the editor-in-chief of Cosmopolitan Magazine. yes and uh i actually purchased a subscription to cosmopolitan while we were podcasting oh shit okay right on probably the first time that's ever happened which is cool it's unique yeah yeah that you've yeah you bought something live no no i bought a subscription to the magazine that she works for
Oh, no, I got that story. But yeah, so how was it?
How was the chat? It was great. Her subway take was anything is a dating app, so we discussed dating quite a bit. We discussed my personal relationship with how I proposed to my wife recently. Yes, I did know that. Congrats. yeah I mean we talked about a lot of stuff since her subway take was about dating we talked about yik yak dating which is an app that no longer exists we talked about live journal and live journal dating in general we talked about one of my favorite dating apps which is grouper I don't know if you know about grouper the fish no grouper was a dating app where it would set you up on a blind date with someone and then you would bring two of your friends and the blind date would bring two of their friends and then they would tell you where to meet and they'd buy your first round of drinks
So chaos is what you're talking about. Yeah, it was incredible. I went on a grouper date with Blake Benzman and Abizar once. I brought them as my plus ones. And we ended up on a date with three substitute teachers from Staten Island. Holy shit, that sounds like the start of a movie. And I ended up with someone's sucking face.
Who sucked whom's face?
I can't remember if it was Blake or Abizar, but somebody was making out on the roof.
I feel like it was Blake for sure. That feels very Blake coded.
I don't know. I don't. And I also, if memory serves, there was a swap. Oh. Like it started with like Abizar with one girl, me with one girl, and Blake with one girl. And I think by the end, the two maker outers were not linked in the beginning.
Wow. This is like very high school. Was this at like Hotel Chantal or something? It literally, I think, was at a hotel. Yeah, that makes 100% sense.
But this app was sick because I would sign up. I would be the only one to sign up. And the girl would be the only one to sign up. And they'd just be like, who are you bringing? And I'd just be like, Blake and Abizar. And then the girl would be like, Rebecca and fucking Rachel. And then we'd all show up. because they'd send a text like three or five hours before the date and say like, meet at Hotel Chantel at 8 p.m. First round is on grouper. And it was sick. It was really fun. Anyways, we talked about that. We talked about Willa being the youngest editor-in-chief ever of Cosmo. We talked about waste of time relationships, which is one of my favorite kind of relationships. It's where you're just together to waste some time, kill some time in between other relationships. You ever been in one of those relationships?
