Key Topics & Discussion Points

1. Hallie’s Year in Dating & Hookup Culture

(Start – 23:00)

• Status Update: Hallie starts the year-end debrief by admitting she’s single and hasn’t really dated this year.

  • “I don't have a boyfriend right now. Like, I'm not dating anyone right now. I actually…I have been so busy, I haven't even had time to like, take a piss.” (03:15)
  • Her NYC apartment is “one very expensive storage unit”—she’s always on the go and has no routine.

• On Dating Aversion:

  • Hallie hasn’t made dating a priority, gets the "ick" when asked on dates, and feels weirded out by traditional courting.
  • She tells a story about the only formal date she accepted, which flopped due to lack of chemistry and awkwardness at the end:
    • “I gave him a kiss on the cheek or he gave me a kiss on the cheek. But I would love to know, like, when you're ending a day and you're kind of iffy about it, do you still…If he goes in for the kiss, like, do you dodge it?” (08:45)
  • Hallie shares her anxiety and discomfort with “sit-down dinners with men,” preferring a drink over a meal.

• Hookup Tales & “Situationships”:

  • Recalls a late-night meetup with a hot, but unassertive guy who ended up just talking for hours—“At one point I was like, do you want me to leave? Like, I'm done talking. Like, this is getting exhausting. I have nothing else to say.” (14:35)
  • Admits to only mild “crushes” and fleeting liaisons, nothing serious or lasting:
    • “I have so much, like, love ADHD. I get in lust with all these guys. In hindsight, hindsight's always 20 20. I look back and I'm like, why the fuck did I even…What was I okay? Was I feverish that whole time? Probably.” (18:36)

2. Lessons Learned, Dating Faux Pas & Scandalous Stories

(23:00 – 40:00)

• Wild Hookups & Mishaps:

  • Hallie admits to hooking up with “degenerates,” including a guy doing ketamine and blow on a Wednesday (“it was like hooking up with the Wolf of Wall Street”).
  • She’s learning she needs to be more selective but worries a “nice, solid man would bore the fuck out of me.”
  • “I almost don't want my frontal lobe to develop because then I feel like I'll be a little dull. But like, I don't know. I haven't found the right person. And that's okay.” (24:58)

• Ho Ho Ho Behavior & Memorable Hookups:

  • “Sketchy September”—her most “ho ho ho” month, where she hooked up with four different guys after a six-month drought.
    • “When it rains, it pours. And that was after like a six month drought. And my body was physically ailing. Like, I needed dick so bad I thought I was dying.” (26:18)
  • Most memorable hookup: A guy who refused to use the bed—always choosing the rug, couch, or shower floor (“my knees were purple that whole month”).
    • “I have to get a new couch because of him, I think.” (29:30)

• Stats from Her “Wrapped”:

  • Number of people slept with: 7 (“A couple were repeats though, so not seven new ones...probably only had sex like 12 times this year”)
  • International experiences: At least three countries represented (30:45)
  • “Pen pals” (sexting partners) > “situationships” for Hallie this year.

3. Party Life & NYC Chaos

(40:00 – 55:00)

• Nights Out & Afters:

  • Hallie never goes out for “just one drink”—why bother?
  • Queen of afterparties (“afters”), especially in Soho, West Village, Tribeca.
  • “I love an afters. And hopefully there's more to come in 2026 because afters in the memories that are made, in the giggles that are shared, in the friendships that are bonded so heavily at the afters…” (49:33)

• Most Chaotic Nights:

  • She recounts wild party schedules in Miami and Vegas, day parties that stretch into gambling at dawn, and the infamous “unwell events”:
    • “Those are like my most memorable, unrememberable nights because they involve a lot of indulging and tasty cocktails.” (54:29)

• Late-night Food Cravings:

  • Go-to drunk meal: “a good, saucy, cheesy pizza” for party nights; Joe Shanghai soup dumplings and Monk McGin for hangover feasts.
