A² The Show - Ep 434 Feat. Abbas Jawhar, Ali The Doctor, Saeed El Jammal, Ali The Professor Join us on this week's episode of the Wise Guys where we dive into some of the top questions from the men of Reddit. From the reasons behind not commenting on posts, to navigating dating during quarantine, and tackling male stereotypes - we'll give our unique perspectives and opinions on these topics. We'll also discuss the most isolated places on Earth, introversion and its relationship to solitude, and the worst dating experiences. And for the men out there who talk at the urinals, we'll address that question too. Don't forget to submit your own questions for us to answer in a future episode. Tune in now! 00:00 Men of reddit who don't comment on posts, why don't you? 00:53 How do I meet women during quarantine? 02:34 I went to hug a girl and she grabbed my hand and shook it, what are the most isolated places on earth known to man? 05:01 Contrary to popular belief about guys, the single men I know keep their homes exceptionally clean. What male stereotypes don’t apply to you? 07:22 As an introvert, how do you feel about this quote by Jim Carrey? “Solitude is dangerous. It’s very addictive. It becomes a habit after you realize how calm and peaceful it is. It’s like you don’t want to deal with people anymore because they drain your energy.” 15:09 Would you get offended if you notice a stranger woman taking safety precautions when she sees you? ( eg: not going in the elevator with you, making sure her car is locked if you pass by in a parking lot, getting on the phone with someone, etc.) 18:57 Men who talk at the urinals, what the fuck is wrong with you? 22:38 Men, my date booty called another dude in front of me mid date last night and left, what's the worst date you've experienced?
