0:00.0	Welcome to the Art of Charm. I'm your host Jordan Harbinger. I'm here with producer Jason
0:13.3	de Filipo. Now here at AOC we may not have all the answers but of course we have some
0:17.3	of the questions and today on fan mail Friday those questions come from you. We did one
0:21.5	where we were a little bit tipsy last time. This time, Stone Cold Sober. You know it's
0:27.6	I would say it's just as fun Sober. It's a different kind of fun though Jason.
0:31.5	It is a different kind of fun. Yeah. It's something less silly a little bit more serious but I feel
0:37.5	like if we balance these two things which is kind of a key to sobriety in first place, right?
0:42.1	Then you're off to the races. So let's cut to it.
0:46.7	All right. Hey Jordan and AOC fam. I'm a college freshman and I've just moved into the
0:50.9	frat house that I'll be in for the year. All is going well except for one small detail.
0:55.6	My car broke down a month ago so I'll be going without one for my first year. I want to be able

1:16.6	here which isn't, oh I don't have a car. How am I going to get around? The bigger problem here
1:20.5	is feeling insecure about not having something that you're supposed to have in your own mind.
1:26.2	Right? So a lot of people will say like, oh I don't have a house. I can't date. Oh I'm not
1:31.3	really secure in my career yet. I can't date. Well, you know, I don't have a car. I can't date.
1:35.8	Well, I don't have this. I can't date. It's very common. There will always be something like this.
1:41.1	The car however seems a little bit more pressing because it's a practical matter, right?
1:45.7	But now we have Uber. You can meet there. It's fine. You don't have to pick people up and do that.
1:50.0	That's sort of maybe some Gen X type stuff, right? I don't pick you up from your house and walk
