Need a girl’s take on this, but which is more impressive for a date in which the guy cooks for you:
a) He cooks something from Blue Apron
b) He takes time to find a recipe, buys all the ingredients himself, and cooks it for you. If he screws it up, at least he made a valiant effort to go above and beyond
also the entire time I read this, it reminded me of the scene in Breaking Bad where Walter White is trying to defend his job: “He’s just a short-order cook!” (which is basically what Blue Apron is – a short-order cook)
Any kickoff time between noon and 6 pm is ideal. After 6, it’s game over. Guaranteed most people will be dead/dying from tailgating all day, or hyped up on vodka red bulls so you can stay awake for the game and then the post-game bar hop, which will lead to intense Sunday Scaries the next day. And yes, that will be me in Austin tomorrow with the 7 pm UT kickoff. Thanks, Longhorns.
All of the hardos hate on pumpkin-related things until your boy here whips up a batch of pumpkin pancakes for tailgates. If you hated on em, you don’t get any
When I lived in Nashville, my roommate frequently used my dog as his wingman (woman cuz she’s a girl). Brought her to our running club (she loves to run), dog parks, you name it. But it made him look good because it showed that he also cares about animals and is willing to take care of a dog that isn’t even his
I also didn’t realize girls showed up to bar trivia looking for guys to pay for their drinks.
Hey ladies, there are plenty of other bars open that don’t have trivia that night, so you can work your devil’s magic there and get your tabs paid for.
Bar trivia is low-key a solid 2nd, 3rd, or 4th date. It’s a fun thing to do and you can gauge his/her competitiveness, willingness to have fun, intelligence, etc. Also it provides plenty of conversation topics.
I’m probably not alone in this, but since college football season is here and I live in Austin, all of my Saturday hobbies until January are basically watching college football at the bars downtown or tailgating for UT home games, and yes these involve drinking. Here’s the typical schedule:
9-11: Watch College Gameday / drink coffee to prep for the long day ahead
11-12: Make moves to the bars downtown to watch games or head to the tailgates if UT has a home game. Drink #1 is consumed right at noon to kick things off.
12-6: Watch football (at Little Woodrows for the Austin PGPers) or still tailgating and then head to the UT game. A few drinks are consumed during these games/tailgates
6-7: Eat something so I don’t die. (almost always One Taco at Little Woodrows). Continue watching football
7-8: Have the debate with my friends as to whether we’re staying out to watch more football or calling it an early night. It always ends with us staying out. Red Bull Vodka #1 is consumed to stay awake for the night games
8-11: Continue watching football. Realize one Red Bull Vodka isn’t cutting it, so order another one or two.
11-12: Football is winding down, but we’re winding up due to all the Red Bulls. The decision is made to keep the party going
12-2: One of the friends always wants to go to the bars on Dirty 6th Steven though I’ve told myself numerous times I’ll never go there again. The squad heads to Dirty 6th.
2: Uber home
Sunday 6 am: Wake up early AF due to all the Red Bulls from the night prior, look at all the Apple Wallet notifications on my phone from all the bars finally closing my tabs i left open, Sunday Scaries begin, throw on Will’s podcast to ease the pain.
4. That girl is truly awful if she cheated on her boyfriend while he was out defending America in the Middle East. I know from experience he’s thinking about her all the time and wants nothing more than to get out of that shit hole and be with her, and this is how she repays him. Do him and this country a favor and break it off with him because he deserves better. Sounds like she has plenty of draft-dodging, Jodi Beta-males to choose from though, so have fun with that.

People forget that Steve Aoki’s dad founded Benihana. Discovered that on a documentary I watched during a hungover Sunday
This could not be more of a first world problem. You basically just want to escape to a lake house

Repeat next Saturday
Water, coffee, and mimosa/bloody/bellini. Side note, what’s the consensus on bellinis?
