• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Swipe right. It's one more thing. I'm strong and getty.
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: One more thing.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: We've already get into swiping Wright left, which I only
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: know about from hearing people reference it.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: I've never done it myself.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: Before we get to that, here's a little John Stewart
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: from the Daily Show earlier this week.
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: And the Harris campaign has a massive ground game, fifty
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: thousand volunteers.
• 0:28
  Speaker 4: This is the first time some Democrats have told me
• 0:30
  Speaker 4: they've ever heard of people knocking on the same doors
• 0:32
  Speaker 4: a second time or a third time.
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: You know, if there's one thing people love more than
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: someone appearing randomly at their door once, it's that same
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: in Parson coming back two or three times to talk politics,
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: even though everyone from vacuum salesman to Jehovah's witnesses, No,
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: that's a losing strategy.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: In fact, they own that for decades.
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: Let's just spend a quarter of a billion.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: Dollars on it.
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: You know what Democrats should do, whatever money is left over,
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: send those same people back to those voters' doors and
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: just knock again during dinner, and when the homeowner comes
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: to the door, go, what the scot.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: I thought we connected? Wow?
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: John Stewart as usual pointing out the obvious that everybody
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: miss misses. That was a different era, back when campaigns
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: built their their ground game with door knockers. Who it's
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: the same with answering your phone. Nobody answers the phone
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: if it's a number they don't know. And most people
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: in the modern era, probably not for better, probably for worse,
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: but don't like people coming and knocking on their door,
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: Like John Stewart's how about that person coming back a
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: second time?
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: Really makes you want to vote for that candidate, doesn't he.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: This is a second time you've knocked on my door
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: until I finally got up and came and answered the door,
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: hoping you would go away.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: Wow, that's just getting back to the.
• 2:12
  Speaker 5: Incomprehensible amount of money that the Harris campaign spent well
• 2:17
  Speaker 5: over a billion dollars for a crushing defeat. I mean, God,
• 2:23
  Speaker 5: bless you. If you want to give away your money
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: to a political campaign, that's up to you entirely. But man,
• 2:29
  Speaker 5: that's a lot of money spent for naught. Of course,
• 2:31
  Speaker 5: anybody who got it is thinking, yeah, I'm loving this trend.
• 2:35
  Speaker 5: I don't even have to win, and they give me
• 2:37
  Speaker 5: a you know, they spend a billion dollars. But and
• 2:39
  Speaker 5: certainly in the advertising industry it's appreciated. But holy cow,
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: how much would they have lost by if they'd only
• 2:46
  Speaker 5: spent as much as Trump?
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: Right, there was a video that went viral right before
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: the actual election took place of Kamala going to some
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: family's home and she was going to do get a
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: video of a door knock, and one of the people
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: somewhere around the scene took a cell phone video of
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: her having the family go back inside so they could
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: get a better take of her doing a door Nah,
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: that's like it's.
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: A reality TV show.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Exactly. Times change.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: There was a time when I guess you would have
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: been perfectly happy to have somebody knock on your door
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: and you open the door and you engage them in conversation.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: That people aren't that way anymore.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Also, the way couples meet.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: This gets to the swipe left or swipe right thing
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: that I teased a Have you ever seen those graphs?
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: I usually see them on YouTube, but it's a moving
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: graph and you see how things shift over time.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Have you ever seen those graphs? Are really cool?
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: Like I saw one of the most dominant websites and
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: it started in like nineteen ninety five, and you'd have
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: the biggest.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Long bar graph.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: At the top was was AOL, And then as the
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: months and years went by, the AOL graph kept shrinking.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: But then all of a sudden, a Yahoo shows up,
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: Then a Google shows up and moves a clear fossile
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: screen and dominates it. Can you just see how things
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: change over time?
• 4:03
  Speaker 5: I came acrossos animations, They're really cool. I've come across
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: some like world population, Yeah, immigration flow and that's right thing.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, IDP.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: This one was how couples met, and it started in
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: nineteen thirty and it went until now. And I screen
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: captured a couple of different points which I thought were interesting.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: But starting in nineteen thirty, how couples met almost two
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: thirds from one source, well, three sources put together, but
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: they're kind of similar ish sort of things. Family number one,
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: school number two, friends number three. Almost two thirds of
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: couples met from family, school, or friends. And then you
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: get to twenty twenty four, and that's only eighteen percent
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: of people meet through family, school and friends. The two
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: thirds replaced little by little over time. Obviously you guessed
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: it with online. I didn't realize that almost two thirds
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: of couples now meet online. It's the most most common
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: way to me. I think some of that trend probably
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: has to do with age. You know, if you're going
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: to form a permanent or would be permanent life relationship
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: at age eighteen, say to twenty one, you're going to
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: do it differently. I think, Well, I got to believe
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: if you eliminate, you know, people fifty and up, maybe
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: this number of online couples meeting goes up.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Probably it might Jesus might be eighty.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: Percent or something for forty and under. I don't have
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: any idea. Do you have any sense of that, Katie?
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: Like most of your friends do they single? Friends?
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Do they meet people online? Most of them online?
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: Actually, I've got one friend who met her fiance at
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: work and then the rest of them have been online dating.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, everybody I know who's single, they really only talk
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: about online dating. I mean, as if that is the
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: option for meeting people, and it might be. I don't know.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: I haven't tried it, and I'm scared to death of
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: trying it for a variety of reasons, and I don't
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: think I ever will. But if that's how everybody else
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: is meeting it, does you know what scares you about it?
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Being ending up in a vent as all.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: That being a minor celebrity makes it weird in some ways. Okay, yeah,
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: I don't want anybody getting any personal details about me
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: and you know, just screen capturing and.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Posting them or whatever. I mean that just that weirds
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: me out a lot.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: And then I don't know, it just sounds like a
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: lot of work and people I know who do it,
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: and maybe if you're an extrovert, it's awesome. You go
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: on a lot of dates and get to meet a
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: lot of people, and then it either goes from there.
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: I just had to I've been on two online dates
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: and they were both hillacious, So you're not really missing
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: a hole.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: Well, I guess you have to weed through a lot
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: of hilatious to get to the one that is great,
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: and you know you end up together for a while
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: or forever, which doesn't surprise me.
• 6:57
  Speaker 5: Yeah, correct me if I'm wrong. Isn't hilacious apart positive?
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: I'm an idiot.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: I'm right.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: I thought it was awful. Yeah, you had drinks, fell
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: in love and hooked up. That's a hlatious date.
• 7:16
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm not quibbling for the point of quibbling. I
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: just love words, but hilatious. So I understood perfectly well
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: what you meant, and I get it very.
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: Great, bad or overwhelming. There was a hilacious hailstorm.
• 7:31
  Speaker 5: Well you're right, it means extraordinary, remarkable, Yes, Michael, thank you,
• 7:36
  Speaker 5: thank you. So you used a Prochael, who was the
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: editor in chief of the Oxford English Dictionary for twenty years.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: Katie used the probably, but they learned that one.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: They were bad because what I picture is you both
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: know within two seconds that you don't want to do this,
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: and you still got to go through with the half
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: hour cup of coffee or meal or whatever it is
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: you do.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: Well, yeah, my The worst one for me was this guy.
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: He was beautiful online. I mean he was in a suit,
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: he was wakeboarding, and he seemed super outdoorsy and fun.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: I was like, all right, cool.
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: He showed up to this really nice restaurant wearing the
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: longest jean shorts I've ever seen in my life. Wow,
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: a Lakers jersey down to his knees and a flat
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: built hat worn crooked, and I went, what the f right?
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: And it turns out he was in a suit because
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: he was a bodyguard at a strip club across the
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: street from the radio station where I worked.
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: So, oh, there you go.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: He could have hung Yeah, the.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: People that the people that mislead the real them, because
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't want.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: To do that, be God.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: The last thing I would want is to walk into
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: a room and see the look of disappointment in their eyes.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: I just it just sounds horrible. I wouldn't.
• 8:49
  Speaker 5: I've seen that so many times. I've seen it enough
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: for me too.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: I just I can't have I can't imagine wanting to
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: over sell myself to that point.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: But I don't.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't know, I know, I know
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: it's a very very common thing. I heard from men
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: and women.
• 9:05
  Speaker 5: You know, Katie. A man who's willing to rock the
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: extra long jorts is got confidence.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: And showing up to a restaurant which is a tank top.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: He knows who he is exactly, which is fine. But
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: why wouldn't you want to portray who you are in
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: the picture to people that might like who you are,
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: might think cool. They want a guy dressed like that.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: I see attractive women with guys dressed like that. There
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: are women out there who want that just wasn't you.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: Right, not me?
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: And that Yeah, there was not one photo of I
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: think there were like eight or nine on his page
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: that indicated that that was his sense of style at all.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: So when he showed up.
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: And Greg Gory, who we had on the Extra Long,
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: Extra Large Prora the podcast, he came with me as
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: like a covert guy that was sitting at another table,
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: just to make sure I was safe.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: And I looked over at him and went, I got
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: I gotta get out of here so bad. It was
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: so bad now.
• 10:02
  Speaker 5: To cover wing Man. I like that.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so I'd go with in my description single parent.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: I've got roughly thirty minutes every two weeks to spend
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: time with you, and I'm angry most of the time.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: So line up over, take a number exactly.
• 10:19
  Speaker 5: Let them to the left, Ladies. I'm thinking about my kids,
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: two of whom are in stable relationships, one of whom
• 10:27
  Speaker 5: is not at this point, and it was school and
• 10:31
  Speaker 5: they're in their mid twenties to early thirties, school mutual friends.
• 10:36
  Speaker 5: And my son is not currently in a stable relationship,
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: but his last girlfriend that was mutual friends. I think
• 10:46
  Speaker 5: now maybe it's they grew up under me. In a
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: family slash cult that makes the Amish look like the jetsums.
• 10:54
  Speaker 5: So maybe that rubbed off on them and they've gone
• 10:57
  Speaker 5: old school.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: My whole life is made up of almost entirely friends
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: acquaintances through things like that.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Anyway, I've been to two weddings this year, both
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: of them Tender. Really Yeah wow? Now is Tinder still
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: a uh?
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: Because it had the reputation originally of being more of
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: a hookup app than a meet.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: People to get married? But is that still the case?
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: I don't have any idea.
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: I believe there's one that came out in the last
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: couple of years post Tender that is more of the
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: hookup app.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: Now, I can't remember what a lot of people I
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: know talk about. Bumble that's the one. Oh really?
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Bumble is the one that I've heard is more
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: for hooking up. Really, Or there's Bumble and Hinge. Yeah,
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: I don't I think, Yeah, take your word for it.
• 11:40
  Speaker 5: Yeah, these names are increasingly random. I'd ringe.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: I'd never thought about it before, but that actually would
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: be a stumbling block.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: So say, for whatever reason.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: They're not appalled by my photo and uh, and we
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: and we decide we want to meet and uh, and
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: my immediate aggression doesn't turn them off. We just want
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: to meet. I would say, let me get in my
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: calendar two Thursdays after next between one and three in
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: the afternoon, before I pick up my kid. I think
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: if you're in my neighborhood, we could meet for a
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: little while.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: I'll make it least.
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: We could pull up next to each other to stop
• 12:20
  Speaker 5: light and say, how are you doing good? How are
• 12:21
  Speaker 5: you good?
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: Nice to meet you.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: I gotta go pick up my kid from school, and
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: I got some laundry to do in a meal to prepare.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: I'm hungry. You can follow me through the Mickey D's
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: drive stream as well. We'll do that thing where I
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: buy your meal the car ahead of you. I'll pay
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: it forward to your meal behind me, and then see
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: you later.
• 12:40
  Speaker 5: You want to do a bang bang, No, that's not sexual, Well,
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: let me explain.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: It's two different kinds of meals. And never mind true
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: love over a mcflurry. Well, I guess that's it.
