0:00.0	Hi, I'm U.S.U. And I'm Julie Craftchick. We're active daters turned dating insiders. Here to dive into
0:06.6	everything, modern dating and relationships. Welcome to datable.
0:14.4	Hello, everyone. Welcome to another episode of brunch talk. We are live at a random time on a random day. It's a surprise live attack. Well, the time we were supposed to go live yesterday, I was literally on a plane. So I'm like, you know, can we do something else? Because I don't think I can make this work in any way. One day we will. One day you'll go live on a plane.
0:41.0	Although I did end up paying for internet. I was on Alaska and it was only $8.
0:47.8	And I'm really obsessed with Vanderpup rules. So I was like, what good way to pass the like six hour
0:55.7	plane ride that watch a bunch of Vanderpump rules totally worth that $8. So in theory, I could
1:01.5	have. You could have. It would have been very awkward for people sitting next to you. Oh my God.
1:05.7	It would have been, my fiance would have not been happy. He like won't talk to me on the plane. He would not be
1:13.6	happy if I was doing a live. He's like, I don't know her. I don't know who that is. Hey, y'all,

1:25.6	One day. We should be on the same flight, but like in different seats.
1:30.4	Wait, are we trying to get kicked off the plane?
1:32.7	It's a circle.
1:34.1	Okay, maybe we should be on different planes.
1:36.4	Just go live on a plane.
1:38.8	I did see someone do that recently.
1:41.5	I didn't see the end product of them going live, but I saw a video of them saying,
1:46.1	it was so cool. I went on my live today, on my flight, and I just kept thinking those poor people
1:51.8	sitting next to them, even if you're in business class or first class, you can still hear
1:56.4	the people next to you. And that would be just so annoying. It really would.
2:08.2	Okay, I can, like, admittedly laugh on this because I'm definitely still recovering from this god-awful... Whatever I had.
2:09.3	It's, like, 90% better for anyone that two did last week.
