0:00.0	This episode is about to be very weird and meta because I'm going to be discussing a life lesson
0:06.3	that I learned from making this podcast. And the reason why this is going to be weird and meta is
0:13.2	because I rarely discuss what goes into making this podcast. As a listener or follower or whatever, you just see the final
0:24.2	product. And in a way, that's by design, because nobody needs to see the inner workings of what
0:32.3	it takes to make entertainment, if you will. So I keep that away on purpose until today, apparently. Before we can
0:43.0	get to the life lesson, we must go back in time to the inception of this podcast. It actually
0:51.7	started in 2018, 2019, when I started my first podcast called Stupid Genius, which only
0:58.3	lasted a year or two. And it was basically a show where I would take a scientific question,
1:05.0	like, why do we yawn? Or why do we sweat? Or why is the sky blue? And then I would hypothesize what I think
1:17.4	the answer is. And then at the end, the answer would be revealed. And it'd be sort of this game of
1:25.2	how close could I get to the actual scientific answer. And then at the
1:31.3	end of the episodes, I would sort of just riff on my personal life, like what was going on, what's
1:36.6	been on my mind, et cetera. And I very quickly fell out of love with the structure of that podcast. I didn't like doing the exact same thing
1:46.9	every episode. It just felt boring to me at a certain point. And so I got the idea to start a new
1:53.9	podcast where I could take my favorite part of stupid genius, which was the end of the episodes
1:59.7	when I would just riff about whatever the fuck I wanted, and I turn it into a show itself. And then anything goes was born,
2:06.8	a show where I could talk about anything. This episode is brought to you by Bumble. Dating can be
2:12.9	exhausting. Even just getting to the dating stage is a little bit overwhelming.
2:20.6	You know, I'm not somebody who loves casually dating.
2:22.0	I like to be in a relationship.
2:26.0	Finding somebody you're attracted to is challenging enough.
2:29.5	But then making sure that you're compatible is a whole other challenge.
