The Genius Life WITH MAX LUGAVERE
Transcript
You ever watch Love on the Spectrum? Yes. Loved it. That show made me cry because they're sitting there having the most stilted, awkward conversation. Like, oh, so do you like stuff? And they're like, yeah. What do you like? I like baseball. Do you like baseball? No. I don't. Oh, okay. Well, what do you like? You no? And then they, like, cut away to the interview, and they're like, how do you think it's going? And they're like, it's really good. Like, she's really nice. And you realize, like, oh my good. Like, we just wanna connect. Like, we just want a person. They're not caught up in, like, well, what does he make, and what does he drive, and who is he? Like, it's just I want someone to love me and I wanna love someone and I want someone who good my hand and they'll wanna hold my hand and I get to hold their hand and like to me, that's really all it is. Like, we've added all this other stuff on top of it. But, like, that's kind of all it is. That's so authentic. It's so pure. And we just throw a lot of other stuff on top of it, but we decide to do that. We don't have to do that. We can actually, like, step back and say, hey. Wait a minute. Like, let's simplify this a little bit. It's no, where did you take me on Valentine's Day and did you get me a Birkin bag for Christmas? It really is, like, you're so pretty. It makes me happy every time I see you. What a lovely thing to say to someone. If someone's saying to you, you know, Max, like, you're so handsome. It makes me so happy that we're together. I have such a handsome man in my life. I'm not even dating you. You're smiling when I hear that. Because it just feels so nice to hear someone say, I like you so much. I like talking to you. It's making me happy to talk to you right now.
