Hey everybody, it's Neili from The Vertcast. Special third episode in the feed today, not

The Vertcast, but why did you push that button? One of my favorite podcasts that we put

on hiatus, when Caitlyn Tiffany went to the Atlantic. Ashley Carmen convinced her to come

back record a special episode of why did you push that button about dating in the pandemic

under quarantine, under lockdown. The tools people are using, how relationships are developing.

I love the show so much. I'm so happy Caitlyn did a little renegade episode with us. Check

it out. It's Ashley and Caitlyn with why did you push that button?

Hello and welcome to why did you push that button a show where Caitlyn Tiffany,

hello, and Ashley Carmen, that's me, examine all the choices technology forces us to make.

We are back sort of just for now, just for today. Yeah, a little one off for all of you who

have stuck with us for this almost year since we last released an episode. I have absolutely no

sense of whether that's accurate because I no longer have any idea of the use of calendars.

Yeah, so to pandemic, Cait, how have you been doing? Let's give the listeners a little bit of

sense of our mental state these days. Yeah, I think I'm getting into the swing of it. When

a couple of months ago when we started talking about doing this episode, it was chaos here in the

Tiffany home. I had recently broken a mirror, a window, two wine glasses. It was basically like,

I was just kind of crunching around like a floor covered in glass being like, I wonder if I'll ever

see my friends or family again. So that was a dark time, but you know, things are picking up in

New York a little bit. We're allowed to go to the beach. Crucial. Yeah, we're allowed to look at

each other outside if not touch each other. So things are on the on the app. Yeah, we've seen each

other, which is really great. I think I've sort of settled into a routine of sorts. I've done

pandemic bingo. I've done Peloton workouts. I've made various foods and baked. I've done a puzzle.
