Wherein four bachelors talk about love... a topic on which we are definitely not experts.
We cover why it's important to know what you want and who you are before you can really fall in love. We talk about the simplicity of the concept of love, and how complicated it gets when you involve people. We crack jokes, get deep, and revel in awkward silences.
Hope you enjoy!
Also, here is the Jim Carrey video we reference:

Marina Abramović and Ulay were both performance artists who partnered in the 70's to create projects that were intended to make people think differently, and question the reality they've been handed. They worked together so much, and took their art so seriously that they began to dress and act as twins. They sacrificed their own ego and personalities to become one singular being, and even started referring to themselves as part of a "two-headed body."
Over a decade after they began performing (and basically existing) together, they decided that it was time to part. They each started at opposite ends of The Great Wall of China - Ulay starting in the Goby Desert, and Marina from the Yellow Sea - and walked until they met in the middle. It was here that they said their goodbyes, and then continued walking past each other never to see each other again...
Until in 2010, at the Museum of Modern Art. Marina performed "The Artist is Present," a 736-hour and 30-minute static, silent piece, in which she sat immobile in the museum's atrium, while spectators were invited to take turns sitting opposite her in one-minute increments. For the first time in nearly 20 years (and unbeknownst to her), Abramović and Ulay were reunited.
Love affects us all. Every day. Whether we want it to or not. Sit down today with someone you love, and look into their eyes for one full minute in silence. Come back and share the experience in the comments.
I've been thinking about how to make The Loveumentary a more awesome, love-centered community. Then it dawned on me, things are always better when you share them with a friend. Enter my friend Marisa.
Marisa has agreed to contribute her insanely amazing musical prowess to The Loveumentary. Together, we are going to start a regular series of "Music Monday" posts featuring playlists of love songs, or music videos for your enjoyment.
The first installment is Marisa's playlist of Happy Love Songs. I've been listening to it all week, and I cannot get enough of it. Hope you enjoy it! Use it as inspiration for a mix tape for that special someone... you have our permission.

After close to 40 years of marriage, Bill started to realize that something was wrong with his wife, Glad. She was soon thereafter diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease. Her condition has advanced to the point where Bill has to do everything for his wife. He bathes her, he feeds her, he brushes her teeth... but he does it all with a smile.
MeiMei and Kiran are two amazing people. They are even more amazing together. You’ll love hearing their love story... and you’ll love even more hearing about how they keep their love alive. We also talk about when is the right time to leave a relationship, whether or not monogamy is a natural human tendency, open relationships, and a lot of other fun stuff! Hope you enjoy.
Neil and A. Rae have been through a lot. And when I say, "a lot," it's not an understatement. I daresay they've been through just about everything you can imagine... and they've made it out alive, and with smiles on their faces.
The most touching moments in this podcast, for me, are when Neil and A. Rae talk about losing their son, and how it transformed their lives, and when Neil talks about how mistaken he was to believe that the single life is/was better than married life.
Talking to A. Rae and Neil made me realize that I have a tendency to give up too easily on things that are important. True love is worth fighting for. It's worth enduring misery, and heartache. It's worth forgiving and learning and struggling together. Without the struggles, the mistakes, and the fight, love is weak... and it may not even be love at all.
