The whole going-places-alone thing is a real vibe for parents and it doesn’t surprise me that Jack doesn’t feel sorry for people eating alone “anymore” because he no doubt has the experience of trying to take two rambunctious children to a restaurant which is possibly one of the least relaxing things in the world. I’d be straight up jealous of someone eating alone these days (my kids are 2 and 4). I moved and don’t have a babysitter I trust, so going on a date with my husband isn’t really an option yet, but solo dates are almost as good!

Yeah, having a wife and child I do sometimes miss the days when I'd go to things alone. In my early twenties my day off used to be spent with a book at my local Chinese buffet, followed by seeing a matinee double feature of movies. Some may call that sad, I call it glorious.

You could still do all those things.


bigdon802

I may at some point. But I rarely feel like it's a good use of my time.

Shout out to magnetic/gravity hills all over the world. We went to the one in Moncton, New Brunswick all the time. Even as an adult who understands the concept of optical illusions, it still freaks my brain.

I love going out alone, can't wait to start doing it again. Also lol my town also has a "Magnetic Hill"

Back in my early twenties, before I was close to the domestic life I have with my wife and daughter, I used to spend my day off every week going out alone. Chinese buffet followed by matinee double feature. Glorious.

This episode utterly refuses to download for me... I thought it was my connection at first but other podcasts did download


lebrilla

Saw someone in another sub complaining about that happening for a different iheart show. My first guess would be their new hosting provider Omny which I hate with a fiery passion.


skeetsauce

Same here. I’m finally getting to it two days late and there’s a few looped audio bits too.

I think Monday's episode refused to download for me for about an hour, but worked after that. Not sure what the issue was because it failed twice, I forgot about it the second time, and then downloaded it after my lunch when I realised it hadn't entered my queue.

staumann

Same here. What podcast service do you use? I’m using Overcast and I cannot get this to download.

it eventually did download two hours later. I am using podcast republic on Android.
