We're so done with new year, new you. This year, it's more you on Bumble. More of you shamelessly sending playlists, especially that one filled with show tunes. More of you finding Geminis because you know you always like them. More of you dating with intention because you know what you want. And you know what? We love that for you. Someone else will too.
Be more you this year and find them on Bumble.

Welcome to the Moth Podcast. I'm Mark Solinger, and on this episode... Whether you watch the big game for the great plays, for the seven-layer nachos, for the funny ads, for the halftime performances, my personal favorite game was the one Beyoncé played at, football, like storytelling, brings people together. Because these three stories aren't just about football.
They're about family, growing up, and the things that are revealed by the games we play. First up is Dame Wilburn, who told this story when she hosted a main stage in Traverse City, Michigan. Here's Dame, live at the Moth.
Some random snowy Saturday, when I was a freshman in college, I sat down, at the cafeteria table with my friends, the Klingons. Now, they basically were an amalgamation of dudes that you would never let into a fraternity. They were art majors and theater majors and English majors, and they were all like heavy duty sci-fi nerds and Trekkies.
And when I sat down, these guys were talking about football. Now, football is my favorite sport. And I used to spend every Sunday watching the Detroit Lions lose with my mother. And every Sunday, my mother would say, Damien, you could play for the Lions. I mean, you could play for the Lions.
