Speaker 4: I don't know about ghosting, but I don't know what
Speaker 4: to say. I mean, it was an okay dated.
Speaker 1: Okay date that was gonna be my question. Was it
Speaker 1: a good date? An okay date? Just at first?
Speaker 4: You said? Well, at first I thought yeah, At first
Speaker 4: it felt like it was going really well. Grant came
Speaker 4: off pretty put together, but sudden, you know, the little
Speaker 4: lad started kind of popping up.
Speaker 2: Okay, what happened?
Speaker 4: Well, early in the night he referred to his apart
Speaker 4: meant as the pod, and I kind of thought he
Speaker 4: was kidding, you know, like just that that's what he
Speaker 4: calls his apartment, but he wasn't. He explained that he
Speaker 4: lives in like a hyper efficient minimalist pod because unused
Speaker 4: space is wasted energy. So that was sort of interesting.
Speaker 4: Sure what to make of that? And then I guess
Speaker 4: I can only say that he sort of like moved
Speaker 4: into what I call like a lecture mode where he
Speaker 4: spent almost ten minutes explaining something that he calls the
Speaker 4: Alpha seating strategy. Strategy. To me, I've never heard of
Speaker 4: it before. Basically, he was talking about how where you
Speaker 4: sit on a gate affect attraction and power dynamics. And
Speaker 4: then like half thruit way through his explanation, he stood
Speaker 4: up and asked me to switch cares with him so
Speaker 4: that I would be angled better towards the room.
Speaker 2: That's what he said. Yeah, interesting, and did you did?
Speaker 4: You did? Like I wanted to keep things moving. Yeah,
Speaker 4: but it was weird. I felt really uncomfortable. Sure, so
Speaker 4: that was interesting and then much more. Yeah, that's when
Speaker 4: things really fell apart. When the check shut up, Grant
Speaker 4: reached into his jacket and he just starts pulling out
Speaker 4: all of this, like loose change to tip, like coins
Speaker 4: just kind of keep on coming, and a few roll
Speaker 4: on the floor and he's just gathering them up and
Speaker 4: then placed them on the check presenter. Okay, it was
Speaker 4: a lot.
Speaker 2: I'm okay, I'm getting a visual now.
Speaker 1: So yeah, Olivia. Part of the segment is Grant is
Speaker 1: actually listening in. We're trying to use this as a
Speaker 1: teachable moment. I'd like to bring him on so we
Speaker 1: can discuss if that's okay with you.
Speaker 4: Sure, sure, Grant?
Speaker 2: Are you there right?
Speaker 4: Hello?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm here.
Speaker 2: This is a lot of stuff, man, Yeah, you.
Speaker 3: Know, listening to Olivia talk about this stuff. I didn't
Speaker 3: think it was a big issue at the time. And
Speaker 3: you know, I'm very true to who I am. You know,
Speaker 3: I live in a pod because you know, I'm a
Speaker 3: minimal minimalist.
Speaker 2: Is that actual pod?
Speaker 3: It's like the size of like, you know, like a
Speaker 3: walking closet, I'd say, you know, with the with the
Speaker 3: with a little bed and and very minimal things. And
Speaker 3: that's that's how I live.
Speaker 2: But also deal with change.
Speaker 3: Well, you know, I'm gonna say change is everywhere in
Speaker 3: our life right now, on the world climate, you know.
Speaker 2: And no, no, I mean I'm sorry.
Speaker 3: Coins yeah, yeah, yeah, changes coins in my in my vision,
Speaker 3: you know, the cash currency is out there and we
Speaker 3: have to spread it around because you know, what are
Speaker 3: we going to do with it?
Speaker 2: You know?
Speaker 3: And and the tip seems appropriate with with it's change.
Speaker 3: You know, I don't know what else to do with
Speaker 3: it besides paid forward.
Speaker 2: Okay, what about this alpha seating strategy, you.
Speaker 3: Know, it's it's more about posture and energy. I'm just
Speaker 3: trying to make the date go better for both of us.
Speaker 3: And you know where Olivia was seated, it just wasn't
Speaker 3: wasn't working for me.
Speaker 2: And I needed.
Speaker 3: I need to have better angles because when you have
Speaker 3: a when you have a correct angle, there's a better
Speaker 3: connection for everyone.
Speaker 2: Olivia, do you so? I ask, are you resonating with
Speaker 2: all of this now that we have some explanations or not.
Speaker 4: No, it just felt a lot less like a date
Speaker 4: and more like being coached. Didn't corrected all night. So
Speaker 4: it's not you weren't rude or anything, but like I
Speaker 4: just I didn't feel relaxed or myself or anything.
Speaker 1: Okay, our hang on, hang on. There were a lot
Speaker 1: of moving parts, sir. Second date update seven oh five,
Speaker 1: weekday mornings,
