Welcome to the whatever dating talk podcast where we try to make sense of the modern dating hellscape. I'm your host, Brian Atlas. Thanks for tuning in tonight. You could have been anywhere in the world, but you're here with me.

I appreciate that.

We're coming to you live from Santa Barbara, California, every Sunday and Tuesday,

typically at 5 p.m. Pacific.

I do apologize for our delayed start.

We had some flakes, no-shows, cancellations.

We have two people who are arriving probably in about 15 minutes or so,

who are going to be joining after the start of the show. So apologies for the delayed start.

A few quick announcements. Excuse me. This podcast is viewer-supported heavy YouTube demonetization. So please consider donating through

stream labs instead of super chatting as YouTube takes a brutal 30% cut. So if you super chat 100,

YouTube takes 30. If you donate 100, Streamlabs only takes three. Streamlabs.com slash whatever.

Link is in the description.

We do prioritize messages that are made via Streamlabs.

Now, if you want to interact nearly instantly with us and weigh in on the conversation,

consider sending a TTS text to speech message.

$200 and uptriggers.

TTS is via Streamlabs only. TTS, TTS is via stream labs only.

If your chatter TTS is too toxic, we reserve the right to skip it.

Please see the description for all other triggers and full details.

We have channel memberships to become a member.

Tier 1 is just $5 a month. Luis, Lewis. Thank you for the
