| 0:00.0 | This super special episode is brought to you by Bumble. Now, we're brought up to believe very often that finding a life partner, the person that you want to walk through experiences with, your lobster, if you will, is something that should happen quickly. And when you first set eyes on each other, fireworks go off in the background and you get married by your house, have lots of kids together and live happily ever after in heteronormative bliss. |

| 1:41.3 | because it's the most amazing story and the |
| 1:44.2 | most incredible payoff for the book. But there was something about the first date that you had with |
