[@alexgregg1058]

One time I got a number and a date set up with a girl I met at the mall. We met had a lot in common spent all day together and exchanged info and set up a full on dinner date. Later that week and the day before the date (we'd been talking on the phone everyday since meeting too btw) at a family reunion we saw each other and after some questions and investigation around the room we found out we were cousins. Me and my immediate family almost did not go to that family reunion and decided to last second. So that could have been a really awkward situation just waiting to happen and a bullet we both barely dodged.

It would be too personal of a question to ask, so this isn't me asking, but: I really, really wonder at what life story adds up to working with someone every day now, but they were born from a sibling of your parent, and that's so irrelevant that you never remember. They can't have had events together before then at the sort of things you see your cousins at, right? Because Katie did say that they first met at work.

If I have met someone and had a 15 minute conversation with them,I probably had told them my life story, when asked "how are you?" And I'd be like "in therapy because my mother hates me and I was bullied badly in school." Inevitably the person who had the misfortune of asking me how I was doing would come to regret that life choice. Well,nice to meet all of you. My husband has been a fan for years. .oh,by the way...could you take back your nutritional advice... Quardly is not poison.

When one works any kind of job where they have to deal with a group of people, instead of identifying each person as an individual, one tends to group them as a collective. Since Brenan was talking to him as a fan at the time, He was likely seen as a part of the collective of fans , rather than as an individual human, thus making him much less memorable to Sam.

the absolute best part of the entire Dropout community is the fact they are willing to set each other up for a a gag... Grant and Sam being primary targets.

[@luisvalenzuela9967]

Is this another attempt by Grant to get revenge for the "True facts about Grant" bits. Also full transparency ever since seeing those episodes I think every sketch by Grant is a bid for revenge.

Didn't Grant make those bits about himself?

I love how Katie’s “Yeeaah” when responding to “Did you know them as “the audience” at that point?” Because she sounds both offended and baffled by the question as if the only reasonable answer to that question is yes.

[@raymundoii]

Katie being stone-faced as ever, Brennan really getting into the lore of space pool, Trapp's timing, and Sam just being THE character in his own life. Really solid cast overall. Probably the most hilarious and the lowest point count I've seen of this.

This is the closest to an all-star lineup. And Katie still dominated.

[@myedits7160]

Katie absolutely killed it. Her ability to make a running gag only better and better was great.

[@alexsheppard237]

Brennan having to force a joke because they were too excited to analyze the concept of space pool, incredible. I had to pause the video even before he said that because I was too excited to think about space pool as well and I made a drawing about it that I am very proud of. Three dimension non-average gravity pool is incredible as an idea I really really like it.
