Summary

In this episode I sit down with comedian Dan Perlman. We discuss every- thing from how to refer to people you’ve dated, loving the idea of someone vs. them, caring for a partner when they’re sick, sharing traumas too soon, taking risks in relationships, dating two people at once, and more. This episode starts with a solo where I talk about the gray area be- fore you’re official, weird dreams I had during mercury retrograde, and how to deal with a bad work environment.

0:00.0	The following podcast is a deer media production.
0:06.4	Hey guys, welcome back to We Met It Acme. I'm super excited about this episode. I feel like
0:11.6	you think I'm being redundant with all this, but I actually genuinely get so excited about our
0:16.4	episodes. And this one today is with Dan Proman. He's a hilarious comedian, but also he's like a real
0:22.8	person and a single guy in the city. And he has a lot of really interesting insight and the
0:28.0	conversation just flowed really well. So I know you're going to enjoy it as much as I did. I felt
0:33.9	like I could talk to him forever. I wanted to just start off talking about a few different things.
0:41.2	I was featured in an article in Vogue, which was so exciting about the coronavirus.
0:48.6	It's nuts. Just like the idea of dating with this really scary big thing that we can't control

1:40.9	construction is insane. Like I texted my super and I was like, you think they'll stop construction
1:45.7	for 10 minutes? And he said, yes, but now they're making these noises. I'm sure you're sick of
1:51.2	talking about construction. Anyway, so I would say just like, you know, if you're in a situation where
1:57.9	like your boss is getting laid off and you have to step into a new role, it's like step into that
2:01.6	role, step it up. And if you can't handle it anymore and you don't respect the company that you're
2:07.3	at because of all the changes and shit that's going on, then start looking for something new and
