Welcome to Guy's Set, a guy's guide to what should be talked about. I'm Josh, I'm 24 years old, and I'm here to find all the tips, advice, and recommendations for everything you're wondering about. Let's get into it.

Josh Felgoise (00:17.966)

Hi guys, welcome back to guyset, a guys guide to what should be talked about. I've been fortunate enough recently to spend some time in rooms where I get to observe the behavior and mannerisms of really successful people. And success I'm defining here as people who are ahead of me in their career or just in a really like big place in their career and observe the way they act, the way they talk, the way they speak, the way they conduct themselves.

And in a few of the circumstances, I've actually gotten to engage with them and have conversations with them, which I find really cool. But some of the best advice I was ever given maybe like five or six years ago was to put yourself in rooms where you are not the smartest person in the room, where you don't have all the answers to the questions, where you may not know any answers to the questions and may not be the smartest person in the room by a long shot, like maybe the dumbest person in the room. And

Ever since I heard that piece of advice, I have really lived it and I think the best place to be is in the room where you know the least. And if you're in a room where you know the most, then maybe it's time to find a new room to be in. And throughout my long tenured career that's been two and a half, three years now, I have tried to find a way into...

rooms with really successful and smart people. And I don't mean that in like a creepy way. I mean that in a way of like, I want to be in the presence of these people and understand the way they think and act and perceive and conduct themselves. That comes in many different shapes and forms and sizes. Like one good example is in my first internship at my last company. This was my sophomore year of college summer.

I found a way to present an idea to the CEO of the company and it wasn't just me, it was also my boss, but I got to speak in it and answer questions and eventually he said no to the idea, which was like, okay, fine, whatever. But like I was in the metaphorical room, this was a zoom room with the CEO of the company. And I thought that was the coolest fucking thing at the time. I thought that was really, really like, why does he want to spend 30 minutes with me?

Josh Felgoise (02:23.426)

But I got myself into that room and hearing the way that he thought and the way he spoke to me and the questions he asked and how he kind of conducted that session or that meeting I found to all be really cool. And that really has stuck with me. And it's been one of the most, I think, critical moments of my, you know, short, not, not short, but like not, not so long. I'm 24 years old career up until now. I've I've I reference it. And I think about that time a lot and how I was able to be in that room with him and like

answer questions and have to think on my feet and I prepared a ton and I was anxious and was nervous leading up to it but like when you're in there and when you're in that setting and when you're in that room like and the anxiety and the nerves and everything comes right back and all the preparation you've done may go right out the window and you kind of like black out in some of those moments where you're speaking and you're engaging with people who you view as more successful than you or much higher in their career in their field than you which she absolutely wasn't.

is to this day still. was the intern and he was the CEO. Like that's a that's a crazy juxtaposition, big word. So I feel like that's a great example of the room that I'm talking about. And that was also the same summer that I had heard this advice. I heard the advice in the beginning and that was near the end. So I found that to be like a really cool full circle moment for me and I've been chasing those kind of moments. And I continue to, I think it's one of the best ways and

places that I can learn when I am not the smartest person, when I'm maybe like the least smart person in the room, not dumb, I'm not saying dumb, I'm just saying least, like most junior or most inexperienced, like those are other good ways to say what I'm trying to say. And I think in those times I have the most interesting and engaging and thought provoking conversations about job and career and what other people do and how other people see the world.

because I get to pick people's brains who I don't usually talk to on a day to day basis, who I don't know at all. And I've put myself in a position that is inherently uncomfortable and a like weird place to be, an anxiety inducing place to be. And those are the moments where I feel like I grow the most and I learn the most and I experience the most. So I want to tell you about what I've noticed from being in rooms with successful people recently. And I spent the past week attending panels at advertising week in New York City, which is like

Josh Felgoise (04:38.082)

this big thing for advertisers and brand people and marketers and all these people go to this like big convention center in the middle of midtown and listen to a lot of successful people talk on panels about the industry and tips and tricks for marketers and branders and branders and branding people and to get to interact and interface with those people. And it's like this three or four day conference. I think it's still going on right now as I'm talking about it. And then alongside that, I spent

A week a couple weeks ago at my company or corporate offsite corporate retreat. I did an episode on that. I think it's two episodes ago where I gave like the whole rundown on that. But I think that adds to this as well. And then I also had a meeting recently, a zoom meeting with somebody that I really look up to and have looked up to for many years. And I felt like I was finally in the room with this person. I learned a ton from that interaction and that conversation. So I want to tell you about those three experiences. And I've combined them into this like

things successful people do tips list. And also while creating what I wanted to say for this episode, I thought to myself like, why is this never taught or why is this not taught anywhere? Why are the skills like interpersonal and communication skills to be more successful in conversations and relationship building and networking so gate kept? Like why is nobody sharing these types of things?

And I don't know if they are gate-kept or if people don't spend as much time observing these small details and mannerisms as I do or like I usually do, or if there's just not a good place to like relay this information and share these things. So I hope I can do that here today because I haven't heard something like this about like how to build confidence in interpersonal and relationship building skills.

by watching successful people and watching confident people. And I think it's one of the best ways to get better at this type of thing or to gain confidence in these rooms or build these skills by watching people who inspire you or by watching people who you're impressed by or use view as successful and kind of taking those mannerisms and copying them and, and cop, what is it? Copying is the biggest form of flattery or I don't know, whatever it is, but taking those things and using them to

Josh Felgoise (06:56.888)

build up yourself and using them to get to where you want to be and be noticed in the workplace more or make a better impression on that person at work you've been trying to impress. You know what I mean? Like all these observations can lead us to that confidence or that skill set that we're trying to develop early in our careers. And I hope this becomes a series on here where I can keep learning and observing and watching people and finding out more of these

little things that successful people are doing and this can become like a part two and a part three of this because I really do believe the answers to how to get further in your career or the answers to how do I get noticed by the people above me at work and how do I gain confidence in the work setting and set myself up for success are all in here, are all in watching these people and what they do and I personally love learning about these and putting them together like this so let's get into it. So here are a few of the things successful people do.

And number one is strong personal skills. And this applies to both when they were speaking in front of a large crowd on a panel or in like a lecture. And also when they were speaking to somebody one-on-one, when they were, when I had those conversations with the people and they were just talking to me personally. I spoke about this a little bit in episode 70, which was my work trip tips or tips for a work trip. And a lot of these remained true throughout watching successful people at this conference or on these panels.

And one of the biggest things was remaining engaged in the conversation and staying present in the conversation. You're making eye contact with the other person. You're looking up, you're nodding, you're not hunched over. You're not bent to the side. You're not itching or scratching or adjusting your ball sack. Like you're just, your body language is.

Standing tall and shoulders back and your body language shows that you want to be there or demonstrates that you're interested in what this person is saying So you're nodding you're like, huh, you're you're following along. You're not crossing your arms You're not like scratching your head or twirling your hair or biting your lip or like fingers in your mouth or like all the things that like we do when we fidget

Josh Felgoise (09:08.674)

You're not doing any of that. You're like engaged. You're in the present moment. You're not checking your phone. You're not checking your Apple watch. You're not like really disengaging from the conversation. You're showing the person that you want to be there and what they have to say is valuable and you're interested in what they have to say. I think that's one of the biggest things and I could see that on the panels as well as when I was talking to people in one on one settings when they're on panels, they're nodding, they're listening, they're staying attentive and focused. Like they're not like slouching over and like doing all the things that we like we do normally but

In these moments where you're trying to build a relationship, you should show the person that you care about what they have to say. And I those are all ways to do that. And the next way to do that is asking questions and not just saying like, huh, right. That's cool. And then moving on to the next question, asking a follow-up question based on what they just said and not the things you had prepared. So if you wanted to ask this person, I'll give three like easy examples, like what they do, how long they've been at the company and a

highlight of their job or something that they've done recently at their job that they're proud of. Those are three easy kind of follow up questions to ask some, sorry, not follow up questions, easy questions to ask somebody. You're not moving from question to question to question as if like you want to hear the answer to this, this and this. And then you're like, well, that's great. Like, can get your email? I'd like to stay connected or can I add you on LinkedIn or whatever you want to say afterwards? If they say something that inspires something else in your head, you're not just moving on to the next question. You're asking something that

was incited during their answer, like, that's super interesting. Like, how did you end up doing that? Or how did that actually work? Or were the results of that good? Or were you happy with how that worked out? And I think a good example of this was a conversation I had with this woman at, during the past week. I was at a free food stand, which is my natural habitat, where there were all of these different sauces that you could try.

And there was this woman there kind of like adjusting the sauces that were being promoted. So there were these like three types of sauces alongside popcorn chicken. I'm like going to give you the whole rundown because I obviously remember it very vividly. It was a very important moment. So anyway, there's popcorn chicken. I'm going to set the whole stage for you. There's popcorn chicken. There's spring rolls and there's these like puff pastries that should have had mini hot dogs in them. But I guess it was like their vegan vegetarian option. They were filled with carrots and they didn't tell me that. So when I bit into it, I was like, what the fuck is that? But it was like

Josh Felgoise (11:35.086)

So it was like this really small carrot, the puff pastry on the outside was delicious So I had like four of those anyway This woman was adjusting the sauces and I couldn't tell if she had worked for them or if she was just like trying to see what the Brand was or if she obvious if she wanted to buy it kind of like I did So I said to her like oh, are you a fan of this brand? And she was like, no, actually I work for them I mean that I'm having a really nice conversation that lasted like I don't know ten minutes about like what she does for the company What how long she's worked there what she did after they were acquired?

some campaigns that she's worked on, like things that she loved doing things that she didn't, she asked about me, what I do. We got into talking about this podcast and ended up being this like really cool conversation. She happened to be the head of marketing or the chief marketing officer at that company. And I had no intention of anything besides just like saying hi to this person. I hadn't really talked to anybody at that point, which is different than a lot of the conversations I've had.

like regretfully so before this past week and before I've kind of developed this new perspective about networking in general. I went into this conversation with literally no intention, just saying hi to this person who also looked interested in the sauce that I was interested in. So we already had a common commonality to start the conversation. So it wasn't like built from nothing like, hi, I'm Josh. What's your name? Nice to meet you. I already had something to say, which always makes it easier, always easier to have some sort of commonality to start from. But

that no intention conversation became one of my favorite conversations I had from that entire week and maybe it's become like a bigger partnership, which would be so cool, but was not the purpose of the conversation. And I think that was evident from the start and throughout and made it more impactful that there was nothing I was trying to gain from the conversation. Same with her. mean, obviously she, what did she want from me? But like, I think she took some value from what I said too. And I, it's obviously enough to stay for the entirety of the conversation and

Like it wasn't like I was holding her hostage at the conversation. was obviously wanted to be there. I think I could tell that from her body language, which was what I'm talking about. Like she wasn't arms crossed or like checking her watch or trying to leave or trying to avoid. She was interested in answering the questions. And at one point I kind of gave her an out because I was like, I don't know if she still wants to talk to me or not. Like I just kind of couldn't tell. So I said to her, I'm like, sorry if I'm asking so many questions, like if you're busy, like I totally understand. Like you have a lot of people to talk to, I'm sure here. And she was like, no, like I'm actually.

Josh Felgoise (13:53.484)

Interested in this and I like hearing your perspective on it. I was like, okay, fuck yeah, so let's keep going here. But I think that was something I liked that I did and I gave her an out because I couldn't really tell and it's hard to leave those conversations and it's hard to know. But I think the best ways to know are like looking at body language. So that's one thing, a long thing, but one thing. And I said somewhere in there that having a commonality or common place to start the conversation always makes it so much easier. But I think the art of introducing ourselves

got a little lost, because a lot of us work remotely or like hybrid or like part-time remote as I do. And I think the art of walking up to somebody and saying, hi, I'm Josh. It's nice to meet you. What do you do? Has kind of gotten lost as one. It's really hard to do. Like it's, it's a thing that I don't think most people are good at. I don't think anybody is really that good at it. Some people are just a little bit more, I don't want to say confidence. I only think it's confident, but some people are a little bit more like,

What's the word like brazen? I don't know, but some people are a little bit more bold you could say than others and I whether that's a good thing or a bad thing, but there were so many moments during this week that I Didn't say hi to somebody that I thought I that I wanted to say hi to and I like I like chickened out from There was a couple people that I like I saw because we all had our name tags in our companies on it and I was like, I'd love to hear about that person or what they do or just find out more about them and meet them and I didn't because

I got anxious or nervous or like just kind of lost my social battery, which is all part of it. And it's all like a real experience that I'm sure most of us have had in the past or still have. Um, and I regretted not doing that, but it's like, it's hard. It's not an easy thing to walk up to somebody and say, hi, I'm Josh. Nice to meet you. What do you do? Or like, what are you doing at this conference? Cause that could always come off weird. And I, I like, I usually make a joke of it I'm like, what are you doing at this conference? Sorry. I didn't mean it like that. Like, what do you.

Like I make a little bit of like a thing of it to try and ease the tension because that's awkward like it's a weird thing to talk to somebody you do not know and walk up to them and try to Like I the only other person I talked to during that day was this couple that I offered to take their picture because it looked like they were like looking for somebody to take their pictures I was like do you want me to do that? And then we got into a conversation about what we all do and blah blah blah But that was one of the only other conversations I had that day regretfully, but it's true

Josh Felgoise (16:18.402)

So I know it's not an easy thing to do and interact with strangers and actually it's really hard. So it can end up two ways, which are the two exact ways that happened for me, wanting to do it and regretting not and like thinking about what could have happened if I had interacted with that person or had talked to that person and maybe created a relationship or doing it, trying it, going for it and having a conversation. Like really the worst that can happen. It's not as

like walking up to somebody at a bar that you are interested in is so much different than walking up to somebody at like a networking conference because You're not gonna get rejected the only weird part about it is like they may not want to stay in the conversation for as long as you do and that's okay like But at least you said hi to that person and at least you made the effort and know that you can do it So I think either you end up not doing it and wishing you had or you do it and you never know what comes from it. So

And I think the setting is really important too. Like it's much easier to interact with somebody when you're talking over food or talking over hors d'oeuvres. Like an hors d'oeuvres thing is where I'm best. Like that is my setting. But when it's just like a standing around, not knowing anybody, that's awkward. So having like a medium to talk over is always easier. That's why like when we go on dates, we go to drinks. Like you don't just stand on the street and you don't just stand on the sidewalk and...

Talk about your feelings and what you want to be when you grow up. Like you go for drinks and you talk about like what you do and who your friends are and like all that stuff. Imagine a world where we had to stand on the sidewalk and that's how you dated for an hour and a half instead of having drinks to like ease it. I don't know that'd be fucking weird. You need something to talk over. You need something to do like an activity to make it a little easier.

Oh and oh my god right before that I made an absolute fool of myself because I was trying all the sauces I tried all three of course and they were in these like little Dixie cups and I was I was holding the Dixie cup and kind of just like squeezing it I don't know like kind like a stress ball which why was I doing that there was full sauce in the cup and the bottom exploded all the sauce fell out onto my shoe onto the floor the woman next to me was like and it was during one of these panels and I was like oh fuck so I like ran over to the napkins

Josh Felgoise (18:32.248)

cleaned it all up and I went back to the napkins and I was like, well, there's more popcorn chicken and that's how I met the lady. instead of, so instead of just staying in the, in the mess, I just, kind of avoided all of that. I cleaned it up obviously, but I didn't want to stay there in my and sulk in my embarrassment of spilling all this sauce on the floor. So I went over and that's how I met the lady and had a really good conversation. So it's kind of like, I have nothing left to lose in this moment. Like might as well talk to somebody. So that is how that happened. That's the full circle of that story.

Okay, so the second thing I wanted to talk about was confidence. The confidence that the successful people displayed. I've touched on a couple of these previously, but I wanted to list them out. So one being posture, the way they sat or the way they stood showed that they were confident and they belonged where they were. The next one is the introduction. The way they introduce themselves or the little pitch they give about themselves was really tight and like

clean and obviously rehearsed. So they said their full name, what they did, and if there was a question asked on like a panel to introduce themselves and it was like, what is a thing you've done here to do this? Blah, blah, blah. They gave an answer that was thought through. instead of saying, like, they took a second, they took a pause and they kind of gave like, that's a really interesting question.

And then they would kind of go into like a very well thought out answer that was slow spoken, not rushed and intentional. Something that I, I, yeah, I don't have any of that, but like, again, I'm not trying to, this isn't a setting where I'm trying to be like incredibly impressive. I'm trying to be, I'm just being me. And that's what you're always going get on here. So the other thing was having a take or a stance. So they had something to say, they had something of value. And I think half the value came from them like,

being slow in their speech, which I talked about two episodes ago, like them being like, fortune favors the bold. And everyone in room be like, huh, like, mm-hmm, like, yeah, absolutely. And that is a thing that's been said for years. I think fucking Aristotle said that, I don't know, but the way they said it and the way they delivered it made them sound more confident and more valuable than the other person. Fortune favors the bold.

Josh Felgoise (20:53.006)

Like the way that they delivered it made it seem like it had more weight. And some of the people actually had weight and had things to, I mean not fat, but some of the people had, like what they had to say had weight and had reason and had meaning and felt intentional and valuable. And I actually took shit away from what they said. But that's an example of how they said it. And sometimes they just said nonsense, but it sounded genius because they spoke slower and intentionally.

and they were able to make something from nothing a lot of the time because they sounded important and they sounded genuine and they sounded like what they were saying like really mattered to them and what they were saying was really important and needs to be needs to be heard from the back of the room and people need to understand how much this matters because if we don't what we do isn't relevant anymore. See? Okay.

What's that fucking Noah Centennial quote he said it was in a word award show he's like a young actor he said I have to find it it's a it's the perfect example holy shit okay hold on Noah Centennial Award Show Message about helping others here it is

Like what did he just say? It matters not what you've done, but what you do with what you've done for others. Thank you. Like what the fuck did he just say? And it sounded important. Like what did he say? Nothing. He said absolutely nothing and it sounded important. So you can do that too. Obviously like have something to say and have a take and the ones that sounded more confident had a take and had something valuable to say and weren't just spewing absolute gibberish and nonsense.

But some did and they still sounded more confident than somebody else in the room. So and something else I noticed and I've noticed this in a lot of meetings with my boss too is that she'll pause and make way for space in the conversation. Something that I'm really bad at and something that I think is relevant in all aspects of relationships, not just corporate or career relationships relevant in dating and everything is making room for space and for

Josh Felgoise (23:11.096)

time to pass without having to panic and just keep spewing and being thoughtful. like instead of just going on and droning, taking a beat and letting either the other person speak because they can't like live in the silence or spending time being thoughtful about what you want to say next, because that will be more relevant than just continuing without knowing what you want to say next. So think that's another, another piece of confident people is that they take breaks.

They're methodical with what they want to say next and they let space and time pass without having to fill every second that goes by. And as I said in beginning of the show, people that, conversation show, don't know, think this is kind of show. The people on the panel that were looking down and were fidgeting and scratching and itching and twirling their hair and just couldn't sit still or really picking their nuts.

those people like did not look as confident as the other ones. That's like the that's a matter of fact. Same thing if you're in a meeting on zoom and you're constantly like turning off and on your camera or you're moving and you're eating and chewing and taking big sips of water and like turning your cup upside down and putting your sweatshirt on and taking your sweatshirt off. Like all of those things don't seem as confident or as like attentive. And in the moment as somebody else that is like sitting, nodding, kind of waiting.

Same with like checking your phone or being in a different screen on zoom like you can tell if somebody's sending an email or checking slack or just like doing something else in their computer and they're not paying attention it's very very obvious to tell and I think everybody can tell and It can I I do it we all do it like we all check our phone and look down at times like it's a long day I'm not giving anybody shit for that I do it all the time more than I should as I'm talking to myself as I'm talking to you as per usual But the people that I saw as successful and confident weren't doing any of that

And then the third thing I want to talk about was a zoom call I had recently with somebody that I have looked up to for a really long time and just been inspired by and admired from afar. I like the way they built their business and I followed them on social media for a long time now. And it was just really amazing to be in that room with that person. It's exactly one of those moments I was telling you about where like I was in a room with somebody that I

Josh Felgoise (25:31.41)

looked at as super successful and obviously I was not even close to the smartest or most experienced person in that room. But getting to be in that room, I learned so much. So I wanted to tell you all about that too. And I wrote all this down right after the meeting I had with this person as kind of tips for me personally and really didn't intend on sharing these because I didn't know the right format to do it in. But I honestly think this really fits perfectly here. So I'm going to share them alongside the past week and all of that.

The way he conducted himself was really impressive because when he entered the Zoom room, he introduced himself and like kind of looked around and recognized who he'd met before and who he hadn't. And I had never met him before and he kind of directly at me he was like, hi Josh, I don't think we've met before, but it's nice to meet you. My name is blank. And I was like, hi, that was, I was kind of taken by surprise and shocked by that type of introduction. Cause I don't see that a lot from.

anybody really, also even less so from successful people because they don't need to do that. And I was, just thought that was really, it was something that I noticed and was very just like, that was fucking cool to do. So I wanted to share that and said hi to the other, the other people on the call. And he said, it's nice to see you to a couple of people that he worked with and like really recognized every person on the call, which took less than a minute to do. And really, I feel like never happens on calls.

and I, I just thought that was cool. So that being one thing, then throughout the call, he would kind of intentionally ask different people on it, what they thought. one point he said like, what do you think of this Josh? Which what, why are you asking me? Cause there's, there's more relevant people on here whose opinions carry more weight than mine, but like that's cool. Okay. So I'll share my opinion and maybe it'll add to the conversation or add value. And like, I was not prepared.

to speak really past an introduction and like, goodbye, nice to meet you type of thing. And I may not have interjected in the conversation had I not, I might have, because you never know, but I may not have had I not been kind of like asked or called on to share an opinion on that. So I thought the inclusion of everybody in the conversation was something to also shout out. And I think it's possible to leave an impact and create a personal connection even in like an online setting, which

Josh Felgoise (27:51.25)

may seem completely like fraudulent and untrue, but I think it really is true. And this person had a massive impact on me and the way that I saw him interact with people. I was paying really close attention to how he acted in like, was he checking his phone? Was he checking his email? Did he care about this conversation? Was he present? And yes, like I will say a couple of times he was looking down and he had a hat on. So I couldn't tell if he was focused or not.

But when it was kind of his turn to respond, he would look back up and respond exactly to that question without hesitation. So it was pretty obvious that he was paying full attention and maybe just looked down. And I think that's something that I didn't like about what he was doing. And I wanted to point that out because I thought that was something that was a little negative to the way he acted on the call. Like he was, he was looking down a lot and you couldn't see his eyes. And I guess that was part of it. He didn't want us to see his expression or he doesn't like sharing his expression.

Or I'm thinking way too into that and he's just like a look down type of guy and I don't think I don't think that's a really confident thing about somebody if they're looking down and they're not focused in paying attention. So I thought that was a negative that I spun positively because I like this person a lot but I think it's negative. I thought that was a thing that he could work on if I can say that. Yeah I guess I can. Whatever. Fuck it. Those are the two sides. Like I thought the way he conducted it and the way he introduced in the way he

kept people involved and asked their opinions was really awesome, but the way he was looking down and the body language wasn't as confident as some other people I've met who are really successful or been in the room with and seen that, mannerisms. But he was fully paying attention to it. He wasn't like on his phone or on his email or Slack or something, but just, know, I'm doing it again. So anyway, so those are a couple of the things I noticed about the people who are successful that I've gotten to spend some time around recently.

the positives and the negatives, the things they did that I thought were helpful and added to their persona or their messaging and their confidence and the things they did that I thought weren't at all and took away from what they were saying. So those are the two sides to it and the things that I noticed that the people who are successful do that I thought positively impacted me about what they were saying and their value and what they added to the conversation into the room.

and the things they did that I thought took away from what they were saying and their value. And there's two sides to it and nobody's perfect and nobody's a robot and on all the time and I don't expect anybody to be and I don't expect them to be either. Like we're humans and we have flaws and we have itches and scratches and things to adjust and you know, like we have bad days, we have good days and I don't hold them, I don't add anybody to a super high standard but I think...

watching and observing these types of things and interactions and ways that they conduct themselves and the ways that they act are important and helpful to somebody like me who can gain from that and learn from them and who wants to be in a position that they're in. So it's I think it's helpful for somebody like us or somebody that's younger to

pay attention to these types of things and pay attention to what the people above us are doing who are successful. The reason I point out these things is so we can all use them in our everyday lives and we can use them in our workplace and in our meetings and in our smaller teams. And if you're uncomfortable and not confident in these settings, a setting as small as your regular meeting with your company and your team,

or as big as a conference where you have to go introduce yourself to random people, I just try to act like one of those people that you see as more confident in the room, that is standing up taller or looks like they have a lot of important things to say. Take some of their confidence because they've got enough to go around and take it till you fake it till you make it. And if all else fails and you're just not feeling confident that what you have to say is valuable or confident in yourself at all,

Just think of everybody in the room having sex. Thank you so much for listening to I Said a Guy's Guide to What Should Be Talked About.
