  • Hey, guys.

  • Grant, here.

  • If you're single like me,

  • you might have tough time cooking

  • or grocery shopping

  • without throwing away a ton of food.

  • You might also have a Peter Pan Complex

  • and the feeling that no one loves you

  • because deep down, you don't deserve it.

  • Here are five tips to help with the first thing.

  • (chiming)

  • The first thing I recommend for single people

  • is to skip cooking all together.

  • Get take out.

  • It really cuts down on the sad factor

  • of standing over a small burner alone.

  • Um, Grant, I'm single

  • but I like cooking.

  • You're lying to yourself.

  • The only people who like cooking

  • are the ones with someone to cook for.

  • That ain't you, Buster,

  • and at this rate,

  • it might never be.

  • (cork popping)

  • Sometimes getting take out

  • just isn't practical.

  • On those nights,

  • I like to call in the Navy.

  • Captain Crunch and Captain Morgan.

  • The breakfast cereal's an inexpensive source of carbs

  • to fill your stomach but not your soul

  • and alcohol will put you to sleep

  • so you can stop feeling this way.

  • Now, doctors say alcohol's a depressant

  • but those know-it-alls don't know real depression.

  • They probably all have kids and houses.

  • (cork popping)

  • From time to time,

  • you gotta fire up the oven and make a lasagna,

  • the way mom used to make.

  • It has all the carby goodness of cereal

  • and it smells like childhood.

  • Remember that smell?

  • Oh, God, you were so happy then, weren't you?

  • You had so much potential.

  • You hadn't disappointed so many people,

  • most of all yourself.

  • When you're done,

  • go ahead and leave the whole pan in the sink.

  • Who's gonna care?

  • Please.

  • Somebody care?

  • (cork popping)

  • I date.

  • I do, I date a lot.

  • Enough anyway.

  • It doesn't work out

  • and I tell myself

  • it wasn't the right person but

  • I don't know.

  • Could it be

  • that I don't want someone who wants me

  • because what kind of person would want me?

  • Therapist.

  • I can't afford a therapist.

  • I have student loans.

  • That's another thing.

  • Why would anyone date someone

  • who's so fucking broke all the time?

  • Why, would I inflict myself

  • on someone else?

  • Ah, yeah.

  • Don't buy too much.

  • (cork popping)

  • (upbeat instrumental music)

  • Fuck.

  • Sorry, you guys.

  • It feels like I'm out.

  • Am I out?

  • 'Cause I can like,

  • I can see the top of the camera so it's-

  • Is this better?

  • Alright, it feels worse.

  • Okay, thanks for watching.
