    Summary

    “I thought I was moving on, but I guess I was just switching off.” Past Life, Tame Impala

    Dan and Phil split up in 2017 instead of making Interactive Introverts. Eight years later, Phil is a slutty gay media personality with a string of unsuccessful relationships and Dan is a successful but closeted comedian on the UK panel show circuit. They promised to stay in touch, but haven’t spoken to one another since the day Dan moved out. When Dan’s manager persuades him to go on Phil’s podcast in order to promote his new tour, the both of them reconnect. Things seem straightforward, at first — but it’s always the memories you want to forget that stay.

    Look, it’s not like he’s never thought about it, right. Everyone’s thought about it. But he’s just a guy. That stuff is for other people, not him.

    Over 100 thousand words of right person, wrong time / right person, right time slow burn mutual pining with an identity twist.

    Summary

    ["June stopped by at lunch; she showed me a delightful channel called Hallmark, which repeats the same story every hour after they swap one round of white, straight, small-town conventionally beautiful actors for another. It was entertaining.”

    “June and I used to play a drinking game with those. Take a shot every time someone goes ice skating, sledding, or leaves the big city for their tiny hometown.”

    “Good lord, you must’ve been sloshed in the first ten minutes.”]
