Hear me out.
I think more people should be considering getting roommates as adults, not because they have to, because they want to.
That's crazy, because I've been giving this a lot of thought. We're going to be talking a lot about living with other people today. I'm going to be making the roommate episode. I'm going to be making carbonara pasta, and I'm going to try to convince you that co-living is the next big thing.

Welcome to The Dave Chang Show. I'm here with Christopher Yang, producer David. Today we're talking about roommates, the good, the bad, the ugly. And trying again to pitch you an idea that roommates are the future. And even if you have a family.

**Chris Ying** (2:23)
Especially.

**Amanda** (2:24)
Especially if you have a family.

**David Chang** (2:25)
We're going to do a moif. I'm making this carbonara and we're going to invite some guests to join us to try the carbonara. We're going to hear their best roommate stories. So stay tuned until the end and I will show you how I made this.

**Amanda** (2:50)
All right.

**David Chang** (2:50)
We're talking this week about roommates and how many roommates have you had in a lifetime? It's not sexual partners.
It's roommates. And I was surprised at how high my body count was.

**Chris Ying** (3:05)
Oh, okay. I think I was doing this math earlier. I think my roommate body count.

**David Chang** (3:12)
Is it, I think, would you think most people are over under 10 in their lifetimes? I would say yes.
Over. Over.

**Chris Ying** (3:21)
Well, yeah. I mean, it depends if you went to college or not. I think college, you get baked in with a few.

**David Chang** (3:27)
If you served in the military, then you are over 50

**Chris Ying** (3:29)
750 roommates.

**David Chang** (3:31)
Just been.

**Chris Ying** (3:32)
In the barracks. I think my roommate body count is 15 What is yours?

**David Chang** (3:40)
23 What?
Not a whore.

**Chris Ying** (3:46)
But not a virgin.

**SPEAKER_5** (3:47)
Not a prude.

**Chris Ying** (3:48)
Not a prude, dude.

**SPEAKER_5** (3:49)
23?

**David Chang** (3:50)
Yeah, 23 And one of which I've lived in three different times of my life, and almost when I was in my teens, in my 20s, in my 30s.

**SPEAKER_5** (3:59)
Okay.

**Chris Ying** (3:59)
How old were you when you last had a roommate?

**David Chang** (4:06)
26, when I was living on my buddy Tim and Hassan's couch. When I was working at Cafe Ballou.

**Chris Ying** (4:12)
That's right.

**David Chang** (4:13)
Yeah.

**Chris Ying** (4:13)
You were on the couch or you were sleeping in their closet?

**David Chang** (4:15)
No, on their futon. Yeah, the futon.

**Chris Ying** (4:19)
Did you pay rent there?

**David Chang** (4:21)
No.

**Chris Ying** (4:21)
You were just crashing.

**David Chang** (4:22)
I was a shh, but I cooked for those.

**Chris Ying** (4:24)
Yeah, there you go. That's how you paid your way. I think I was probably 26, probably when I had my last roommate.

**David Chang** (4:32)
What's the most roommates you've ever had at one time?

**Chris Ying** (4:34)
I've had seven.

**David Chang** (4:36)
What?

**Chris Ying** (4:36)
That's a roommate orgy.

**David Chang** (4:38)
Exactly.
