My Three-Month Crash Out
At 36:14 · chapter starts 35:50
Jay invites Jake to define 'crash out' for the audience, and the answer is visceral: a painting melting, your world crumbling, total freefall with no visible exit. [1] — Jake Shane "Jake Shane crashed out for three full months — January through late March — over a guy he went on one date with. He went back a second time…" 35:00 Jake then volunteers his own most extreme example — a three-month spiral from January to late March over one man he had been on a single date with. He went back a second time knowing it would end the same way, and it did. The crash out affected everything: his work, his friendships, his decisions. He admits his closest friends would confirm this. What makes the segment work is Jake's self-awareness: he knew going back was wrong, he knew the outcome, and he went anyway because 'any decision you make in a crash out kind of goes.' The rush, he says, is real.
