Can bowling solve male loneliness?

Hey! Nate here - I'm an independent journalist and filmmaker, as well as the one pictured in the cool Hawaiian shirt.

I spent the last two months diving deep on the so-called "male loneliness epidemic," speaking with everyone from a world-renowned psychologist to the manager of an 102-year-old bowling alley. Plus: I hosted a bowling tournament for 16 male podcasters.

Nathan's work was a huge inspiration to both our story and visuals. Tried to capture that same observational, hyper-specific human energy.

I'll drop the YouTube link in the comments for anyone interested in watching. And let me know what I should investigate next!

What do you call it when you hear/say something and it reminds you of a Nathan For You quote?

For example, my wife and I are traveling and while in Denmark our tour guide said "We don't have much wildlife in this harbor but there is a fat seal you can see sometimes if you're lucky."

I immediately turned to my wife and said "I want to see the fat seal." and it reminded me of "Can I touch the fat pig?"

My wife calls them Nathanisms

Another example was my wife rolled her ankle Copenhagen and I said "You rolled your ankle in Copenhagen?!" and it reminded me of "A ghost choked you in Switzerland?!"

I have these pop up randomly, it might be a curse or a blessing.

Nathan Breaking, in lesser known, favorite clip of mine

This clip always makes me smile. So early on in his career. She clearly digs him from the get go by how she's looking at him. He breaks character. And ends up giving his number anyway.

"DON'T CALL ME!...

That girl was pretty cool....."

Tricia from The Rehearsal has a GoFundMe - sharing in case anyone wants to support her

I came across this GoFundMe for Tricia Couture from The Rehearsal. It looks like she's raising $1,400. Thought I'd share it here in case anyone who watched the show wants to help out. It says she has not had work in month or so. Have no affiliation with this just saw today and thought I would share.

Smokers Allowed?

Inspired by Nathan?

Article quote:

“We’re riding this razor’s edge of what we are considering an immersive experience,” said Petro. “You don’t go to the bar and order from our actor bartenders. You don’t participate.”

What audiences do get is an authentic experience of a dive bar in 2010 as a fly on the wall.
