00:00

You know what doesn't bother me,

00:01

brother saying dinner for one.

00:04

I like that sometimes it's just me and my phone even,

00:06

maybe not even on my phone.

00:08

I love to people watch the main character vibes,

00:13

brother, like, you know,

00:14

just eat and watch people.

00:16

Well, it's funny,

00:17

sister because you're not alone.

00:18

Apparently I'm not alone.

00:25

Yeah. But apparently,

00:27

you know, solo dining at restaurants is actually booming.

00:30

So single person reservations have risen 29% at American restaurants over the

00:34

last two years. Damn,

00:37

29%. So apparently researchers believe that the pandemic made us,

00:42

you know, feel better about being alone and it's kind of

00:45

like with remote work,

00:46

right? Like it's basically proving that we're ok if we're sometimes

00:50

alone and have our,

00:52

you know, me time.

00:53

Yeah. And honestly,

00:55

brother, my social battery is so low at the end of

00:58

the day because, you know,

00:59

like we, we communicate with a lot of people.

01:02

We do social media so we have to be like constantly,

01:05

like looking at it the whole day.

01:06

So it's like I feel so drained.

01:08

So I just want to chill and unplug and I feel like

01:11

just eating and just dining out and just by myself being with

01:15

me the best at your own pace.

01:18

You want to be quick,

01:19

you want me to talk to?

01:21

No. No. I mean,

01:23

yeah, but even then the wait is kind of cool because

01:25

I like going to sushi bars and like,

01:26

I'll sit by myself at the bar and I'm like,

01:28

if the guy next to me pulls up alone too,

01:29

we're just gonna like what's up to meet other people,

01:32

right? I mean,

01:33

yeah, it's like,

01:34

oh, hey, because I mean,

01:35

if I'm with my family,

01:35

I'm gonna be, what's up,

01:36

dude? How are you?

01:37

It's like, oh what did you get,

01:38

you know, cool.

01:38

Like we bro out and it's like,

01:40

all right, bet and we're then focus alone again,

01:44

you know, my thoughts so I can get with this.

01:46

II I see, you know,

01:47

more people should do this.

01:48

I feel like my wife would never,

01:50

she gets too scared.

01:50

I can't go alone and I'm like,

01:53

bro, just go like no one cares.

01:55

But I'm glad 29% of people have you know,

01:59

taken more of this on and be there for themselves,

02:02

for sure. Treat yourself.

02:04

Would you guys go dining alone?

02:06

Let us know.
