Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: 180-degree dating.
- 0:02Speaker 2: What is that? Any guesses? Any guesses in the room?
- 0:04Speaker 3: I want to guess.
- 0:05Speaker 2: Okay, go.
- 0:06Speaker 3: The type that you go for hasn't worked, so you
- 0:08Speaker 3: do something that's totally against your type. Ding, ding, ding.
- 0:11Speaker 2: Literally.
- 0:12Speaker 1: It's a new trend called 180-degree dating. So after a breakup,
- 0:15Speaker 1: you intentionally date someone who's the complete opposite of your
- 0:18Speaker 1: normal type. So basically, this is my theory.
- 0:21Speaker 2: It's like your.
- 0:21Speaker 1: Type is actually your problem. So if your last four
- 0:24Speaker 1: relationships ended the same way and all four people are
- 0:27Speaker 1: basically the same person in different fonts, you need to
- 0:29Speaker 1: switch it up. So if you usually date athletes, date
- 0:31Speaker 1: the nerdy dude. If you're always dating an extrovert, date
- 0:34Speaker 1: the quiet guy. If you want a tall guy, give
- 0:36Speaker 1: short kings a chance. They know how to throw it down.
- 0:38Speaker 2: Let me tell you.
- 0:39Speaker 1: All right.
- 0:40Speaker 2: Always try harder.
- 0:41Speaker 1: They really do okay like if you always date bad
- 0:44Speaker 1: boys like just try something.
- 0:46Speaker 4: Else it makes sense because john jay you've told the
- 0:48Speaker 4: story a lot about how your sister said she would
- 0:50Speaker 4: never date this this and this and then she ended
- 0:52Speaker 4: up marrying that that that's exactly.
- 0:54Speaker 2: Right she she was dating she was going to ucla
- 0:56Speaker 2: and she was dating like gq models and stuff it
- 0:59Speaker 2: was great george clooney's hairstylist so wild yeah i know
- 1:04Speaker 2: all these and then she was like Well, I will
- 1:06Speaker 2: never date a guy with tattoos who's missing teeth or bald.
- 1:09Speaker 2: And that's who she's married to. He's bald. He's missing teeth.
- 1:12Speaker 2: And he's got covered in tattoos. And they've got such
- 1:14Speaker 2: a great marriage. They've been married 20 years, over 20 years.
- 1:17Speaker 2: Opposites truly attract. That's crazy. Macy, are you familiar with
- 1:22Speaker 2: this 180 dating trend?
- 1:25Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:26Speaker 2: Yeah? Tell us about it.
- 1:27Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:28Speaker 4: Full flip upside down like Harry Styles is talking about.
- 1:31Speaker 4: If you're listening to the lyrics, they're upside down.
- 1:36Speaker 3: Right?
- 1:36Speaker 4: Right. And now they're back. Like 180. They worked it out.
- 1:43Speaker 4: Am I right?
- 1:45Speaker 2: Are you going somewhere with it? I have no idea
- 1:46Speaker 2: what you're talking about.
- 1:47Speaker 4: Does this relate to your story?
- 1:48Speaker 2: It's a 180 flip.
- 1:49Speaker 4: It's a 180 flip. Like they were backwards. Things weren't
- 1:52Speaker 4: working out. And now 180. It's all better.
- 1:54Speaker 2: What Harry Styles song is that?
- 1:57Speaker 4: It's the circles. They're running in circles.
- 2:01Speaker 2: Oh, I know post Malone circles.
- 2:04Speaker 4: We will.
- 2:06Speaker 1: We need to listen.
- 2:09Speaker 2: We're trying to win those tickets.
- 2:13Speaker 4: I think that's what I think 180 dating is, right?
- 2:16Speaker 3: No?
- 2:17Speaker 1: Close? Yeah, I mean, yeah, you got it.
- 2:19Speaker 4: Yes, see? Okay, so I won something, right? I win, like,

- 2:25Speaker 3: Sure.
- 2:26Speaker 2: Yeah, take that.
- 2:27Speaker 4: Do you want to, do you need to hear about
- 2:29Speaker 4: how horrible my dating life is?
- 2:31Speaker 2: Sure.
- 2:31Speaker 4: Because I feel like you need to know. Okay, so I'm, I... Admittedly,
- 2:35Speaker 4: I'm kind of like a dumpster fire dater person. I
- 2:39Speaker 4: just have a horrible picker. My radar for anything is
- 2:44Speaker 4: totally off, especially according to my friends because they see
- 2:49Speaker 4: life clearly, I guess. Um, cause I had my third
- 2:53Speaker 4: breakup with like basically the same exact man in a
- 2:57Speaker 4: different body.
- 2:57Speaker 2: Okay.
- 2:58Speaker 4: So my girlfriend staged an actual intervention for me. They
- 3:03Speaker 4: took my hinge, changed my preferences and made a rule
- 3:06Speaker 4: that I wasn't allowed to swipe for myself for 30 days. Um,
- 3:10Speaker 4: And I was, like, freaking out. I'm like, are you
- 3:12Speaker 4: kidding me right now? Like, I have no say at all.
- 3:14Speaker 4: And they were like, no, girl, sit down. Like, they
- 3:17Speaker 4: picked my dates. So they send me out with this
- 3:20Speaker 4: guy that I would have never, ever chosen. Like, no shade,
- 3:23Speaker 4: but he's bald. Okay. A little baldy.
- 3:26Speaker 1: 5'7.
- 3:29Speaker 4: Basically my height and owns Crocs in multiple colors, works
- 3:34Speaker 4: in IT. So total tech nerd, you know, and his
- 3:39Speaker 4: idea of like a wild Friday is Costco and watching
- 3:42Speaker 4: date light. And my friends were like, he's perfect. And
- 3:46Speaker 4: I came home from our first date and I was like,
- 3:48Speaker 4: He's terrible. Like, absolutely not. Zero butterflies. And my best
- 3:53Speaker 4: friend was like, good, because your butterflies are messed up. Like,
- 3:58Speaker 4: my butterflies have historically been a warning from my nervous system, apparently.
- 4:03Speaker 4: I don't know. So she's like, well, sit down. I'm choosing.
- 4:08Speaker 4: This is your guy. Anyway, fast forward. It's been two years.
- 4:12Speaker 4: We're engaged.
- 4:13Speaker 3: Oh, you're engaged to Costco?
- 4:15Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 4:16Speaker 4: Yes. Well, guess what? He proposed to me there at Costco.
- 4:22Speaker 4: Like freaking Costco.
- 4:24Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 4:25Speaker 4: So right next to the registry tickets, they're like going
- 4:28Speaker 4: around in circles. And my toxic ass said yes.
- 4:31Speaker 3: Cute.
- 4:33Speaker 2: I did not see that coming.
- 4:34Speaker 3: Yeah, that was not the ending we were looking for.
- 4:37Speaker 3: So the 180 for you.
- 4:39Speaker 4: What?
- 4:40Speaker 3: The 180 for you worked out.
- 4:41Speaker 4: 180 for me, yeah. I was like the little rotisserie
- 4:45Speaker 4: chicken just going in circles.
- 4:46Speaker 2: That's what they say. Try the 180 routine. It's not
- 4:48Speaker 2: working for you one way, so go the other way.
- 4:50Speaker 2: It worked. It worked. That's great.
- 4:51Speaker 3: I swear.
- 4:52Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 4:53Speaker 4: Same thing with like bedding. Like if I think bed
- 4:55Speaker 4: on red, it's black. If I think it's going up,
- 4:58Speaker 4: it's down. So just like don't trust my instincts.
