I was sitting with my friend Arthur Cornblum in a restaurant.

It was a haunted art at Cafeteria.

And this beautiful girl walked in and I turned to Arthur.

And I said, Arthur, you see that girl?

I'm going to Mario and two weeks later we were married.

And it's over 50 years later and we are still married.

A good love story.

Whether it's when Harry met Sally, which you just heard a clip from.

Our love actually around the holidays.

Nothing warms you quite like hearing about the fortune of others when all hope seen be lost.

Around Thanksgiving of last year I wrote a piece for Man Repeler about how I digitally found love when all I had known about digital love up to that point was Nora Ephraim's You've Got Mail and some Bumble swipes.

In the first ever midweek episode of this podcast, I'm going to read you that very story.

Let's call it when scary is met Sally.

It was like a first date, but not.

Instead of matching a dating app that I'm mindlessly scrolled at a bar while ignoring my friends.

We met through the comment section of a website that I had started.

A website that hardly any of my friends even knew I created.

Rather than showing up 10 minutes early to a restaurant to have a glass of wine to cool my nerves.

I set it a kitchen island wondering if I'd already had too much to drink.

And instead of listening to the My Girl soundtrack while putting pomade in my hair over a bathroom sink.

Well, I set out that very same kitchen island to listen to the My Girl soundtrack.

Nothing can really prepare you for it.
