Evan dressed up in a tie and vest after a dance party just to shake things up, with no occasion. He noticed how people stick to the same routines and wardrobes, making life stale. He argues that doing something different for no reason at all is the simplest way to break the pattern and add excitement.
Shake things up. So we had a dance party tonight that I just came back from, and I got out of the shower and I decided, you know what, today I want to shake things up. I want to dress up a little bit. So I put on a tie, I put on a vest, I put on the shirt. And, uh, Nina— there's Nina. You know, Nina was like, "Oh my god, you're all dressed up! I'm not dressed up, what am I gonna do?" And I showed up at the event and everybody was freaking out that I was all dressed up. And it just kinda shocked me that people don't do enough different things. I feel like we're locked into a set personality and a set, uh, what? Like, just, you don't do enough different stuff! Right? Like, that is so different that everybody freaks out at. You're stuck in a routine, you're stuck doing the same thing, you wear the same thing, you do the same thing every day. And that makes life boring, and that makes life stale. People are asking me, am I doing a performance tonight? Is it a special occasion? Is it, is it an anniversary? Why am I dressed up? And I said, it's just because. So do something today just because. Shake it up a little bit.
