Hey guys, it's Alana and welcome back to another episode of Seeing Other People.

Together, we're navigating modern dating alongside experts and real-life daters who are sharing their stories.

Don't have a date for tonight? No problem. Come learn, laugh, and maybe even cry along with us as we navigate the dating scene together.

All right, you guys, we are here.

We have Sam, Panich, and Joey Lane in the house right now.

You got in the house.

We're not in the house.

But I wish we were.

I wish we all were together.

That would be incredible. I do. We should have. We should have done that for the occasion. Sam, this is not your first time on seeing other people. So welcome back. Joey, welcome to the show. I have to call out. And I don't know if anyone's ever told you this. But the second I heard your name for the first time, I'm like, wow, that kid has like a boy band, like celebrity heartthrob name.

Like, how are you not a Disney channel star with the name Joey Lane? It's so funny you say that. First, first of all, thanks. Thanks for having me. This is so I'm so excited. I've been telling Sam and you, but mostly Sam, all day, how I've been just looking forward to this moment right here.

But yeah, it's a good last name. Throughout my whole life, I've been Joey Lane. You know, I haven't been Joey. Not Joe. It's always been Joey Lane at work. I'm Joey Lane in life in basketball. I was always Joey Lane. My dream was always to be in a boy band. I joked about that all the time. So it's funny you say that. Sam knows me well enough to know that I could have been. It could have been. Wow. We got an eye roll from Sam over here. I mean, like, I don't know if you want to hear Joey sing. He's got the looks, but, uh, the vocals. I don't know. He's no Jonas brother. No, I'm completely joking. You never know. I'm completely joking. Well, Joey, give everybody a quick refresher or just share who you are and what you do.

And then we will also give a little refresher on Sam.

Yeah.

So Joey Lane from Chicago, Illinois, 25 years old.

I work in sales now, but I'm most, I don't know, well known is probably a weird way of saying it.

But most well known for being a collegiate basketball player at Ohio State.

I played there for four years, parlayed that into a little bit of a media sort of side hustle, gig, career thing going on now.

Have my own podcast, just like that's what we all have in common here called drive the lane

where we talk all sports all the time all that fun stuff but but yeah now my my real big boy job is
