Welcome to the whatever dating talk podcast where we try to make sense of the modern dating

hellscape.

Thanks for tuning in tonight.

You could have been anywhere in the world, but you're here with me.

I appreciate that. We're coming to you live from Santa Barbara, California, every Sunday and Tuesday, 5 p.m. Pacific.

I'm your host, Brian Atlas. A few quick announcements before the show begins. This podcast is

viewer-supported. Heavy YouTube demonization, so please consider donating through stream labs

instead of super-chatting as YouTube takes a brutal 30% cut.

So if you super chat 100, YouTube takes 30.

If you donate 100, Streamlabs only takes three.

Streamlabs.com slash whatever link is in the description and mods.

If you could just spam all these links as I go through them, we do prioritize messages that are made via stream labs. We have my Caucasian,

Andrew Wilson, here, and a lot to get through tonight. So for the sake of the smooth stream,

we have boosted the read and TTS triggers. Messages, $10 and up will be displayed in stream

overlay. Messages $100 and up will be read slash answered. If you want to interact nearly, nearly instantly with us and weigh in on the conversation.

Consider sending a TTS text to speech message.

$200 and up triggers TTS.

TTS is via streamlabs only.

If it's too disruptive throughout the show, we might have to boost it again.

But we'll see how it goes.

Please see the description for all triggers and full details. We have channel memberships. To become a member, hit the

join button. Tier 1 is just $5 a month. And thank you all of you guys for becoming members there.
