Key Discussion Points & Insights

Costaki’s Single Life and (Awkward) Condom Shopping

[07:00-14:00]

• Buying Condoms After Years: Costaki humorously recounts the intimidation and catharsis of buying condoms for the first time in a decade.
  • Locked Display Case, Awkward Help: "I had to walk around and find a woman to help me, she was about 65 years old, maybe Jamaican. She was awesome. We had such a human exchange." — Costaki [09:30]
  • Memorable Quote from Store Clerk: “My kitchen’s been closed for a long time, too.” — Store Clerk [10:30], which Costaki and the cast riff on, extending the metaphor.

Stand-Up Comic’s Dating Woes

• Tinder Profile Honesty:
  • Costaki admits his profile “probably” mentions craft beer, sports, and that he’s a single father—“I think that’s important… you want to weed out the people who aren’t interested.” [20:00]

The Dating App Shtick and “Codes”

[21:01-24:00]

Being Happily Single

[24:01-26:00]

Comedic Analogies: Condoms, Cereal Boxes & Neapolitan Ice Cream

[26:01-30:30]

• The crew analogizes condom variety packs to childhood cereal “fun packs”—with the inevitable “leftover” flavor (think Grape Nuts or Special K).
