and I know that some people are just not athletic,
but like, I brought someone to play volleyball with us
and he was so bad
and it was like such an ick. (Reuben laughing)
But I think the ick more came from like,
he thought he was gonna be really good
and he still thought he was really good afterwards,
and I was like you were so bad.
(Reuben laughing)
What are your dating icks?
- Not being committed to like just being on time.

I just am not sure there's like a romantic connection there.
- Understandable.
- Nice to meet you, Reuben.

a lot of physical attraction there.

I've been in two serious relationships.

- Well, yeah, and it's still in the back of my head,
I'm like damn, I really liked them
and like it sucks like. - Yeah.
- They put in so much more than
what I was wanting to put in.
And that seems to be kind of a common thing
in a lot of my relationships.
I think there's different understandings of like
what expectation were (button zapping)
and everything. (button buzzing)
Oh.
(button buzzing)
- Sorry.
- Oh.
- I know, sorry I pressed it twice.
(Sterling laughing)
That felt like extra savage.
Especially two weeks, my guy.
You need to let that brew a little.

Buy "Keep It 100" and "Truth or Drink".
(bell dinging)
(wind whooshing)
I played "Keep It 100" a bunch of times
and it made me learn stuff about myself that I didn't know.
I played "Truth or Drink" with my parents
and after they left I collapsed to my knees and I cried.
It's a real thing that happened.
