David's Secret Money Hack

Oh my God, John and Julia had the funniest story yesterday. What happened? So Julia. John's my roommate, my Filipino roommate. Yeah. And, and I was like, so how did you meet John? Whatever. And basically it was during COVID So like, it was hard for them to meet up. They talked for 2 weeks before they finally met up and John was going to go on a date with her and then he got a flat tire and she was like, okay, this is a bunch of bullshit. Like, he obviously didn't get a flat tire. He just doesn't want to hang out. I'm not— never talking to this guy again. And then he sent a picture of his flat tire in the mechanic shop. She's like, okay, fine, I'll give him a chance. And then they were going to hang out again. But then John was like, I have to hang out with my family. My family's in town. I'm so sorry. Like, they surprised me. I didn't know they were here. And she was like, what the fuck's going on? They still haven't met. And John's like, just come to dinner with me and my family. And she goes, what? I'm not meeting you for the first time with your family. Like, that's crazy. And he's like, just come, just come. And then finally the next day they hung out. But this is the funny part, is this was all of John's pictures were how John looks in, like, normally. But this was in— this was at the end of his Zealot transformation journey. Oh, so John looked completely different, like 80 pounds different than all his pictures. Yeah, but like, no, but like, John's— John's like a chubbier guy, but in all these pictures, chiseled jaw and abs. Yeah, sorry, in real life he is chiseled jaw and abs. In his pictures, he's like chubby guy. Yeah. So completely different. So she was like, she was like, she even texted her friend, right? Oh, she's like, I think he like may be sick or something because he doesn't look— he doesn't look anything like the pictures. And I'm like, wow, this is the first time anyone has gotten reverse catfished. Yeah. Yeah. Like, like John is coming with like, John's like, I'm so sorry. Like, I know I have abs and that's not what the pictures look like. Like, I know I look ripped, but I thought that was so funny. Like this guy is like, so much like, like plumpier in pictures, but he's showing up just like the best shape of his life. And she's just like, what the fuck? This isn't what you look like.
