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

I'm your host, Brian Atlas. I do want to apologize for our delay guys. We're going to just jump right in.

I overbooked today. So we have 13 people total, including myself.

So usually if we overbook, it's a little bit, you know, harder to get everything all set up, you know, that we got to bring on extra mics.

And it's just a bit longer of a process.

So I do apologize for the delay there.

I overbook because almost like clockwork, we can expect the day of two, three,

four people are going to no show, the day before people are going to, or flake, whatever.

But everybody was very reliable today. So that's good, but also makes for a very crowded table here. So I do want to

apologize for the delay. Excuse me. We're going to have the guests introduce themselves. So tell us

your name, age, occupation, where you're from, and your education level. All right. I'm

Shona. I'm 18. And I'm originally from the Bay, but I'm a freshman in college right now. All right. I'm Shona. I'm 18 and I'm originally from the Bay, but I'm a freshman in
