Hi, I'm Madison Malone Kircher.

And I'm Rachel Hampton, and you're listening to I see why I'm I.

Slate's podcast about internet culture.

Rachel, what's new with you?

Not much.

Went on a date on Friday night, which you know because you stalked him online.

Yeah, I did set you up with the very leading question.

It's true.

I did. But I would say, one, I did research, what I did was not stalking. And two, it came from a place of love.

Okay, I believe the second part, but the first part, I don't know if I quite believe because the way that you brought

this up with me was not when I told you I was going on a date or when I showed you his Tinder

profile. It was two days later when I mentioned to you that my roommate had also stalked him

online and found his last name, which for people who have not been on Tinder, you can't see people's

last names.

So you generally don't know who you're going into a date with, which I prefer.

So I'm telling you, on Friday during one of our meetings, I'm like, yeah, my roommate

is just, you know, a fucking private investigator.
