What was said

The talk starts with an ex who swore "you ain't going to find nobody like me," followed by a joke about finding someone "just like me" on Instagram. Then the hosts turn to dating apps: Mark Zuckerberg "created something" that "gives a lot of people the illusion that you got options." "Everybody's single for a reason," one says, and another adds, "Everybody's available for a reason."

Then the story. An aunt broke up with her boyfriend. Grandma objected: "That was a good boy. That boy go to church and he treat you right. He buy stuff for you." The aunt answered, "Mama, they plenty fish in the sea." Grandma: "Yeah, but you might not catch them."
