0:00.0	The following podcast is a deer media production.
0:06.5	Hey guys, welcome back to We Met an Acme and the Thursday bonus episode of this month.
0:14.3	Today we're talking all about double dates. So it's very likely that I will never be asked
0:21.6	on a double date again after this episode. So I'm just accepting that because I am about to shed
0:28.8	some truth about double dates. So if you don't want to hear that, then you should probably stop
0:34.8	listening right now. Double dates are fucking weird. They're not that fun. And it's this weird

1:52.7	it also just means that like our friendship should still exist independently of double dates.
1:59.6	And I find that a lot of the time when you get into couples and you get married and whatnot,
2:05.6	you can only really hang out with these people in a couple. And it's not that fun and I'll tell you
2:12.6	the reasons why. The first thing is that not all combinations will work, right? So let's say you're
