Billified Bite - Dating, Damage & Lazy Grass

What happens when your friend decides the dating apps suck and starts advertising her single friends on Facebook? Apparently, 49,000 views, questionable applicants and what may be the human version of Facebook Marketplace.

Bill, Laura and Kevin dive into whether dating apps have given us so many choices that nobody can actually choose anymore, whether successful people are harder to match, and why your friends may know more about who belongs in your life than some algorithm that discovered you both like tacos.

Then, because this is Billified, things wander beautifully off the rails.

Laura reveals she's been walking around, working and going to the gym with a completely torn ACL, which naturally leads to surgery, recovery, lost income…and the crew developing some extremely questionable alternative revenue streams.

They also get into anxiety, relationship triggers, learning what actually matters as you get older, and why sometimes telling somebody to “just be positive” is about as useful as handing them a cocktail umbrella during a hurricane.

Bill gets surprisingly personal about cutting back on drinking, getting his focus back, falling behind in his mental-health counseling program and what a John Hiatt song taught him about being a counselor: you don't stop somebody's storm—you learn how to sit in the rain with them.

Plus: the NFL taking over nearly every day of the week, Buffalo's apparently spoiled and “lazy” grass, Lake America, Keith Richards continuing to defeat biology, and another round of Name That Tune featuring Prince, Nirvana, Beastie Boys, Van Morrison, Black Velvet and more.

Dating. Damage. Football. Growth. Bad decisions. Good music.
