WEBVTT - Second Date Update: Fran Fiction

0:00:00.680 --> 0:00:04.360
<v Speaker 1>The second date of day, we got an email from

0:00:04.360 --> 0:00:07.720
<v Speaker 1>one of our listeners named Fran, who said she dates

0:00:07.840 --> 0:00:11.479
<v Speaker 1>a lot, probably more than the average person.

0:00:11.520 --> 0:00:13.120
<v Speaker 2>According to her, was.

0:00:13.039 --> 0:00:13.640
<v Speaker 3>That a brag.

0:00:14.800 --> 0:00:16.880
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if that's a brag. If you're having

0:00:16.920 --> 0:00:18.840
<v Speaker 2>to go out with lots and lots and lots of people,

0:00:18.880 --> 0:00:21.920
<v Speaker 2>it's like the opposite problem was alone.

0:00:22.040 --> 0:00:24.759
<v Speaker 1>But she says, after thirty five dates over the last

0:00:24.800 --> 0:00:27.920
<v Speaker 1>six months, she thinks she finally found a guy who

0:00:27.960 --> 0:00:29.560
<v Speaker 1>doesn't totally repulse her.

0:00:30.640 --> 0:00:31.280
<v Speaker 2>It's good.

0:00:32.000 --> 0:00:34.160
<v Speaker 3>Her bar's very high.

0:00:34.200 --> 0:00:37.000
<v Speaker 2>Well, and now he's not calling her back right now.

0:00:37.360 --> 0:00:42.400
<v Speaker 2>Thel becomes the repulsey and she's on the phone right now, Fran,

0:00:42.680 --> 0:00:45.240
<v Speaker 2>I love you, you disgust me. Welcome to the show.

0:00:47.280 --> 0:00:49.240
<v Speaker 4>Hey, how are you guys? Friend?

0:00:49.280 --> 0:00:51.720
<v Speaker 3>Oh god, I feel like your proof that when people

0:00:51.720 --> 0:00:53.680
<v Speaker 3>say you just got to put yourself out there, that

0:00:53.840 --> 0:00:55.320
<v Speaker 3>it doesn't actually always work.

0:00:55.480 --> 0:00:59.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you play out there for years and years and years.

0:01:00.240 --> 0:01:02.440
<v Speaker 2>Tell us about the guy that you recently met.

0:01:02.760 --> 0:01:05.440
<v Speaker 4>Okay, so I met this guy through the way. We

0:01:05.480 --> 0:01:08.680
<v Speaker 4>always hate meeting people online dating. Yeah, for sure. His

0:01:08.760 --> 0:01:12.560
<v Speaker 4>name is Tommy. Okay, okay, he was so handsome and

0:01:12.600 --> 0:01:14.200
<v Speaker 4>you know, you see a ton of people online that

0:01:14.200 --> 0:01:15.920
<v Speaker 4>are attractive and you kind of don't think anything of it.

0:01:15.959 --> 0:01:17.920
<v Speaker 4>But I looked through his photos and he had this

0:01:17.959 --> 0:01:22.759
<v Speaker 4>one photo of him with two cats that were his cat.

0:01:23.600 --> 0:01:25.959
<v Speaker 4>It was really sweet because guy's always posting photos of

0:01:26.040 --> 0:01:28.520
<v Speaker 4>like dogs or like when they're fishing and all.

0:01:28.400 --> 0:01:28.959
<v Speaker 5>This other stuff.

0:01:28.959 --> 0:01:30.800
<v Speaker 4>But it was just really sweet to see something that

0:01:31.000 --> 0:01:31.800
<v Speaker 4>wasn't that he.

0:01:31.959 --> 0:01:34.959
<v Speaker 2>Posted a totally different animal. This guy is a keeper.

0:01:35.160 --> 0:01:36.560
<v Speaker 4>I don't know.

0:01:37.240 --> 0:01:41.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, cat guy, it just screams. He's sensitive, he's in tune.

0:01:41.440 --> 0:01:44.840
<v Speaker 3>He's not like there's no toxic masculinity stuff happening there.

0:01:45.040 --> 0:01:46.959
<v Speaker 2>Like if it was a tiger cat, that would be

0:01:47.000 --> 0:01:49.800
<v Speaker 2>a red yeah housecat flax.

0:01:51.160 --> 0:01:53.400
<v Speaker 4>So you know, we had some really cute banter back

0:01:53.440 --> 0:01:57.000
<v Speaker 4>and forth, and finally he kind of dropped a hint like, oh,

0:01:57.040 --> 0:02:02.280
<v Speaker 4>you know I make he's really amazing homemade enchilada. I know,

0:02:02.800 --> 0:02:04.840
<v Speaker 4>I know, And he was just like, you know, how

0:02:04.840 --> 0:02:07.440
<v Speaker 4>would you feel if I made dinner for you and

0:02:07.480 --> 0:02:08.560
<v Speaker 4>he came over and did.

0:02:08.400 --> 0:02:10.959
<v Speaker 3>It feel too good to be true? Already? He's hot,

0:02:11.200 --> 0:02:12.919
<v Speaker 3>he's got cats, he cooks for you.

0:02:13.880 --> 0:02:15.840
<v Speaker 4>Honestly kind of, but you know, you also have that

0:02:15.840 --> 0:02:18.639
<v Speaker 4>thing where you're like, well, maybe twenty seven or eighty

0:02:18.680 --> 0:02:21.720
<v Speaker 4>times a charm whatever we're at now, and so you're like,

0:02:21.919 --> 0:02:22.520
<v Speaker 4>we'll see.

0:02:22.760 --> 0:02:26.520
<v Speaker 3>I like your eternal optimism on the date, you know,

0:02:26.760 --> 0:02:29.160
<v Speaker 3>like to go out on that many dates and keep trying.

0:02:29.440 --> 0:02:30.960
<v Speaker 4>You kind of have to be because I think if

0:02:31.000 --> 0:02:33.480
<v Speaker 4>you get too jaded, and that's not attractive to people either.

0:02:33.680 --> 0:02:35.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that's true too.

0:02:35.160 --> 0:02:39.079
<v Speaker 2>That's probably where I'm at. I'm guess saying you RSVP'd

0:02:39.160 --> 0:02:40.560
<v Speaker 2>yes to the enchilada date.

0:02:41.160 --> 0:02:45.120
<v Speaker 4>I did, so you know, I went over there, really

0:02:45.160 --> 0:02:49.160
<v Speaker 4>cute place, clean another plus, Oh wow, so he makes

0:02:49.560 --> 0:02:52.240
<v Speaker 4>these enchiladas and I'm watching him cook. There's something so

0:02:52.280 --> 0:02:54.440
<v Speaker 4>sexy about watching a man cook. And when he knows

0:02:54.440 --> 0:02:55.440
<v Speaker 4>his way around the kitchen.

0:02:55.560 --> 0:02:57.680
<v Speaker 3>I really like it when they throw a towel like

0:02:57.760 --> 0:03:00.200
<v Speaker 3>over the side of their shoulder. That's like a saying

0:03:00.360 --> 0:03:02.720
<v Speaker 3>for me. Oh yeah, and the big chef hats no.

0:03:05.720 --> 0:03:07.440
<v Speaker 4>But I will take an apron though.

0:03:10.280 --> 0:03:14.520
<v Speaker 2>It's not good. Yeah, I'll get you don't need.

0:03:16.080 --> 0:03:16.959
<v Speaker 5>Mustach yeah.

0:03:19.080 --> 0:03:20.640
<v Speaker 2>Style Yeah, okay.

0:03:20.840 --> 0:03:22.480
<v Speaker 3>What was the vibe? Like the conversation?

0:03:23.160 --> 0:03:25.560
<v Speaker 4>So it was good, like our banter online was pretty

0:03:25.600 --> 0:03:28.679
<v Speaker 4>much the same in person, which is always nice. You know,

0:03:28.680 --> 0:03:32.120
<v Speaker 4>it wasn't awkward and we're chatting back and forth, and

0:03:32.160 --> 0:03:34.640
<v Speaker 4>of course, inevitably it always comes to the same question,

0:03:34.760 --> 0:03:36.400
<v Speaker 4>which is, you know, what do you do for a living?

0:03:37.200 --> 0:03:40.160
<v Speaker 4>And the thing is I work in insurance. That is

0:03:40.200 --> 0:03:42.280
<v Speaker 4>not a sexy thing to talk about. It's boring.

0:03:42.560 --> 0:03:44.000
<v Speaker 2>What are you talking about insurance?

0:03:44.000 --> 0:03:44.480
<v Speaker 5>It's hot.

0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:48.480
<v Speaker 2>I can show you a twenty page document you have

0:03:48.520 --> 0:03:49.200
<v Speaker 2>to sign on.

0:03:49.160 --> 0:03:54.360
<v Speaker 3>The bottom, all in nine fonts. So you told them insurance.

0:03:55.000 --> 0:03:55.200
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

0:03:55.240 --> 0:03:57.600
<v Speaker 4>Well, if I'm feeling it out and the vibe is good,

0:03:58.160 --> 0:04:00.640
<v Speaker 4>I'll usually be pretty honest and be like, my day

0:04:00.680 --> 0:04:04.560
<v Speaker 4>job is insurance, but I'm also an author and I'm

0:04:04.600 --> 0:04:05.800
<v Speaker 4>working on a book right now.

0:04:05.920 --> 0:04:09.880
<v Speaker 3>Oh, and that's true, right.

0:04:10.160 --> 0:04:13.240
<v Speaker 4>It is true. Yes, But the problem is they always say, well,

0:04:13.280 --> 0:04:16.640
<v Speaker 4>what are you working on now? And I am really

0:04:16.680 --> 0:04:19.719
<v Speaker 4>honest about it, and this is true. I'm working on

0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:23.720
<v Speaker 4>a collection of all the worst states that I've been on.

0:04:24.120 --> 0:04:29.360
<v Speaker 2>Oh okay, yeah, it's a slightly relatable.

0:04:29.400 --> 0:04:30.880
<v Speaker 6>I have a lot of comedian friends, and it's hard

0:04:30.880 --> 0:04:33.400
<v Speaker 6>to date because girls immediately go, oh, I don't want

0:04:33.400 --> 0:04:35.480
<v Speaker 6>to end up in one of your jokes on stage,

0:04:36.000 --> 0:04:37.120
<v Speaker 6>and be like, I don't want to end up in

0:04:37.120 --> 0:04:37.640
<v Speaker 6>one of your.

0:04:37.480 --> 0:04:39.400
<v Speaker 3>Books, and then don't mess it up.

0:04:39.480 --> 0:04:40.200
<v Speaker 6>Well, that's a lot.

0:04:40.120 --> 0:04:42.160
<v Speaker 2>Of pressure, Brook, It's easy to mess up. Is that

0:04:42.160 --> 0:04:43.560
<v Speaker 2>the vibe of what happened with Tommy.

0:04:44.279 --> 0:04:47.800
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it really kind of derailed, and you know, we

0:04:47.880 --> 0:04:50.800
<v Speaker 4>finished dinner. Dinner was great still. But this is the

0:04:50.800 --> 0:04:52.360
<v Speaker 4>thing I usually will do too. It's like, I don't

0:04:52.360 --> 0:04:54.359
<v Speaker 4>want to put too much pressure on somebody, especially if

0:04:54.400 --> 0:04:56.440
<v Speaker 4>you're like invited to their home or whatever. So I

0:04:56.600 --> 0:04:58.760
<v Speaker 4>made plans already to go and meet up with my

0:04:58.800 --> 0:05:02.320
<v Speaker 4>friends after we had dinner in a bar and so

0:05:02.440 --> 0:05:04.240
<v Speaker 4>and I told him that I said, you're more than

0:05:04.279 --> 0:05:05.920
<v Speaker 4>welcome to come, hoping that he would.

0:05:06.120 --> 0:05:08.200
<v Speaker 3>But you're more than welcome to come isn't always a

0:05:08.200 --> 0:05:10.440
<v Speaker 3>full invite. It feels like a pity invite. I feel like,

0:05:11.240 --> 0:05:12.280
<v Speaker 3>you know, I would like to.

0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:14.320
<v Speaker 6>Be invited like that, you know, Like for me, it's

0:05:14.320 --> 0:05:16.320
<v Speaker 6>like it I don't feel pressured where it's like shooting

0:05:16.320 --> 0:05:18.400
<v Speaker 6>out if I say no, I'm rejecting her.

0:05:18.480 --> 0:05:19.040
<v Speaker 3>It's interesting.

0:05:19.080 --> 0:05:20.960
<v Speaker 6>It's kind of like, oh, you know what, I don't

0:05:21.000 --> 0:05:22.600
<v Speaker 6>think this time, maybe next time.

0:05:22.800 --> 0:05:23.640
<v Speaker 3>What did he say?

0:05:23.920 --> 0:05:24.120
<v Speaker 1>Oh?

0:05:24.200 --> 0:05:29.080
<v Speaker 4>He said no? Yeah, And it was really weird and

0:05:29.120 --> 0:05:32.720
<v Speaker 4>like we had this really awkward hug goodbye, and I

0:05:33.200 --> 0:05:35.400
<v Speaker 4>really liked him a lot, And yeah, I really just

0:05:35.440 --> 0:05:37.800
<v Speaker 4>want some clarity because I feel like this is the

0:05:37.880 --> 0:05:40.320
<v Speaker 4>thing that you can't be mad at somebody for working

0:05:40.400 --> 0:05:42.200
<v Speaker 4>on something well before you ever.

0:05:42.080 --> 0:05:44.680
<v Speaker 3>Met well and he doesn't have anything to do with him.

0:05:44.760 --> 0:05:47.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean, what was his reaction, because you seem to

0:05:47.800 --> 0:05:49.800
<v Speaker 1>think that this was the main part of the night

0:05:49.839 --> 0:05:52.040
<v Speaker 1>where things started to go downhill, Like, tell us more

0:05:52.040 --> 0:05:54.920
<v Speaker 1>about how Tommy reacted when you told him about the book.

0:05:55.120 --> 0:05:57.880
<v Speaker 4>I got a vibe from him that he just started

0:05:57.920 --> 0:06:01.039
<v Speaker 4>to like internalize and be like, oh, well, is that

0:06:01.160 --> 0:06:03.560
<v Speaker 4>why she's on a date with me? Is she really

0:06:03.560 --> 0:06:06.039
<v Speaker 4>interested in me? Or is this research? You know?

0:06:06.680 --> 0:06:09.040
<v Speaker 3>Well, you should tell him your past the research stage.

0:06:10.480 --> 0:06:12.680
<v Speaker 3>You're well into the second edit of this thing.

0:06:12.920 --> 0:06:15.440
<v Speaker 6>When he rejected you, you should have just pulled out

0:06:15.440 --> 0:06:16.400
<v Speaker 6>a notebook and been like.

0:06:18.640 --> 0:06:21.920
<v Speaker 4>Making a note of this for chapter twenty four.

0:06:23.560 --> 0:06:25.760
<v Speaker 2>Well, we'll see once and for all if he does

0:06:25.920 --> 0:06:28.680
<v Speaker 2>end up in your book. In the book, I don't

0:06:28.680 --> 0:06:30.440
<v Speaker 2>want to be in that book. Why do you want

0:06:30.480 --> 0:06:32.920
<v Speaker 2>to be It's the worst experiences, you know what. I'm

0:06:32.920 --> 0:06:34.120
<v Speaker 2>probably already in her book.

0:06:34.200 --> 0:06:40.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Actually we'll come back and we're gonna call Tommy

0:06:40.560 --> 0:06:42.200
<v Speaker 1>and see if we can get you another date with

0:06:42.279 --> 0:06:46.520
<v Speaker 1>him when we do your second ate update, Next second update.

0:06:47.800 --> 0:06:50.320
<v Speaker 1>Top three worst things you could say to a guy

0:06:50.360 --> 0:06:53.920
<v Speaker 1>on a first date. I'm not who I said I was. Yeah,

0:06:55.360 --> 0:06:56.359
<v Speaker 1>your dad was better.

0:06:56.680 --> 0:07:02.000
<v Speaker 2>Oh true art, I'm a New York Jets fan.

0:07:02.520 --> 0:07:07.080
<v Speaker 6>Oh you just love mediocrity.

0:07:07.480 --> 0:07:09.880
<v Speaker 3>It doesn't exist, Like they don't really exist.

0:07:11.920 --> 0:07:14.720
<v Speaker 2>They're too embarrassed to admit it. But also not a

0:07:14.720 --> 0:07:17.400
<v Speaker 2>great idea to tell a guy. I'm currently writing a

0:07:17.400 --> 0:07:19.920
<v Speaker 2>book about the worst dudes I've ever gone out with.

0:07:20.560 --> 0:07:21.760
<v Speaker 2>It's pretty dang bad.

0:07:21.840 --> 0:07:23.040
<v Speaker 5>Bro. Is it bad though?

0:07:23.160 --> 0:07:24.920
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it's your first date with her.

0:07:26.080 --> 0:07:30.080
<v Speaker 1>It plays off of the guy's in securities are many.

0:07:30.200 --> 0:07:32.880
<v Speaker 1>And that's exactly what Franz said when she was out

0:07:32.920 --> 0:07:34.880
<v Speaker 1>with Tommy the other night, while he was making her

0:07:34.920 --> 0:07:35.680
<v Speaker 1>in schiladas.

0:07:35.960 --> 0:07:38.560
<v Speaker 2>That moment kind of derailed their entire night.

0:07:38.760 --> 0:07:40.720
<v Speaker 3>But he was a guy that had cats in the

0:07:40.720 --> 0:07:44.320
<v Speaker 3>photo of his dating profile. He shouldn't have had insecurities.

0:07:44.560 --> 0:07:49.840
<v Speaker 3>What you know, she understands what I'm saying, right, Does

0:07:49.880 --> 0:07:51.120
<v Speaker 3>that make sense to you, fran.

0:07:51.280 --> 0:07:53.960
<v Speaker 4>I mean, yeah, I thought he was more in touch with.

0:07:54.040 --> 0:08:01.400
<v Speaker 3>That perfect just like the vibe of cat dudes give

0:08:01.440 --> 0:08:05.239
<v Speaker 3>it off like I'm stable. I know who I am.

0:08:06.680 --> 0:08:09.520
<v Speaker 2>Checklist before you buy a cat. I say, that's the vibe,

0:08:09.520 --> 0:08:12.560
<v Speaker 2>that's the vibe. Yeah, okay, I'll accept that. Okay, nothing

0:08:12.600 --> 0:08:13.760
<v Speaker 2>toxic about what Brooke just s.

0:08:13.920 --> 0:08:14.440
<v Speaker 5>I don't think.

0:08:16.480 --> 0:08:19.600
<v Speaker 1>Shouldn't have insecurities. All right, Let's see if he agrees

0:08:19.640 --> 0:08:21.360
<v Speaker 1>with that sentiment when we call him right now.

0:08:21.520 --> 0:08:23.880
<v Speaker 2>You ready to do this, Fran, Let's do it. I

0:08:23.960 --> 0:08:27.000
<v Speaker 2>hope the cat's answer. Let's give it a try.

0:08:35.320 --> 0:08:35.640
<v Speaker 5>Hello.

<v Speaker 2>Hey is this Tommy?

0:08:38.840 --> 0:08:39.080
<v Speaker 6>Uh?

0:08:39.400 --> 0:08:39.640
<v Speaker 5>Yeah?

0:08:39.920 --> 0:08:41.200
<v Speaker 2>You an insecure boy? Tommy?

0:08:41.320 --> 0:08:43.120
<v Speaker 4>What why did you say that?

0:08:44.000 --> 0:08:45.959
<v Speaker 2>I don't see what you thought. No, I thought he

0:08:46.200 --> 0:08:47.520
<v Speaker 2>wasn't Tommy.

0:08:47.600 --> 0:08:50.880
<v Speaker 6>Sorry. Sorry, we were having a discussion before we called you.

0:08:50.960 --> 0:08:53.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's spilled over into this phone call. We're a

0:08:53.600 --> 0:08:55.280
<v Speaker 1>radio show called Brook and Jeffrey in the Morning.

0:08:55.720 --> 0:08:58.400
<v Speaker 5>Yoh, why are you calling me?

0:08:58.840 --> 0:08:59.440
<v Speaker 2>Good question.

0:08:59.640 --> 0:09:02.960
<v Speaker 1>We're doing this segment called a second Date Update, and

0:09:03.000 --> 0:09:05.240
<v Speaker 1>one of our listeners asked us to reach out to

0:09:05.280 --> 0:09:08.120
<v Speaker 1>you because you two hung out the other night, remember, Fran.

0:09:11.160 --> 0:09:15.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, he took Encelada's for her, we heard, which

0:09:15.960 --> 0:09:17.560
<v Speaker 3>is a pretty awesome move.

0:09:18.640 --> 0:09:20.040
<v Speaker 5>How do you know all of this?

0:09:20.040 --> 0:09:24.040
<v Speaker 1>This is straight from Fran's mouth. Well, Frand's mouth, to

0:09:24.120 --> 0:09:26.400
<v Speaker 1>my ears, to my mouth, why are you looking.

0:09:26.240 --> 0:09:27.640
<v Speaker 2>Everything so strange?

0:09:29.200 --> 0:09:34.240
<v Speaker 3>Frand told us, is what he's trying to say. Yeah,

0:09:34.880 --> 0:09:36.360
<v Speaker 3>because she's she likes you, she.

0:09:36.440 --> 0:09:38.439
<v Speaker 1>Likes you, and she wants to see you again and

0:09:38.640 --> 0:09:40.760
<v Speaker 1>is confused why it hasn't happened yet.

0:09:43.840 --> 0:09:46.959
<v Speaker 5>Well, I mean, just being honest, it was. It was

0:09:47.000 --> 0:09:48.240
<v Speaker 5>a little weird.

0:09:48.760 --> 0:09:52.600
<v Speaker 2>Oh weird. Yeah, okay, Well here's the deal man.

0:09:52.640 --> 0:09:56.040
<v Speaker 1>Look, we get emails all the time from people asking

0:09:56.120 --> 0:09:58.160
<v Speaker 1>us to do these for them. And Fran admitted that

0:09:58.200 --> 0:10:01.120
<v Speaker 1>she's dated a lot of people and you stood out

0:10:01.160 --> 0:10:02.000
<v Speaker 1>among all the guys.

0:10:02.040 --> 0:10:06.320
<v Speaker 2>You were different and she really really liked you. And

0:10:06.360 --> 0:10:08.320
<v Speaker 2>she also wishes that she didn't bring up the book

0:10:08.360 --> 0:10:09.040
<v Speaker 2>that she was writing.

0:10:09.880 --> 0:10:13.560
<v Speaker 5>Well, okay, so that's the thing. I mean, it was

0:10:13.600 --> 0:10:16.160
<v Speaker 5>going fine, you know, it was she seems nice enough,

0:10:16.240 --> 0:10:18.360
<v Speaker 5>you know, it's a fine date, and then she brings

0:10:18.440 --> 0:10:21.480
<v Speaker 5>up this book and it's just like, I mean, it's

0:10:21.480 --> 0:10:24.400
<v Speaker 5>so weird, Like am I just content for you to

0:10:24.440 --> 0:10:25.439
<v Speaker 5>put into your book?

0:10:25.760 --> 0:10:27.600
<v Speaker 3>But she wouldn't tell you about the book if she

0:10:27.640 --> 0:10:29.720
<v Speaker 3>thought you were going to be in it, Like she's

0:10:29.760 --> 0:10:32.840
<v Speaker 3>just sharing what's going on in your life in her life,

0:10:32.920 --> 0:10:35.560
<v Speaker 3>and she had already written about all the other bad

0:10:35.640 --> 0:10:37.840
<v Speaker 3>dates she was really thought she was on a good

0:10:37.920 --> 0:10:38.320
<v Speaker 3>date with you.

0:10:39.200 --> 0:10:41.880
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, okay, but here's the thing. So then I'm like, Okay,

0:10:42.240 --> 0:10:44.440
<v Speaker 5>this is kind of weird, but maybe it's fine, you know,

0:10:44.520 --> 0:10:47.080
<v Speaker 5>maybe this doesn't include me. But then I was like, hey,

0:10:47.160 --> 0:10:48.640
<v Speaker 5>so what are some of the bad dates that you

0:10:48.679 --> 0:10:49.040
<v Speaker 5>went on?

0:10:49.320 --> 0:10:52.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's good. Yes, that's a good question. Then you

0:10:52.600 --> 0:10:53.720
<v Speaker 2>know what not to do well.

0:10:53.760 --> 0:10:55.720
<v Speaker 3>And I'm sure she has like some big stories that

0:10:55.800 --> 0:10:58.439
<v Speaker 3>she made bigger just to make the book entertaining too, right,

0:10:58.600 --> 0:10:59.400
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, did.

0:10:59.280 --> 0:11:00.960
<v Speaker 2>She tell you or did she keep it a secret?

0:11:01.040 --> 0:11:01.840
<v Speaker 2>You have to buy the book.

0:11:03.040 --> 0:11:06.640
<v Speaker 3>She only read the first twenty sentences purchased.

0:11:07.440 --> 0:11:13.480
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, she told me a few, and she she didn't embellish. Okay,

0:11:13.559 --> 0:11:16.200
<v Speaker 5>but one of them she was like, oh man, it

0:11:16.280 --> 0:11:18.680
<v Speaker 5>was so terrible. I like, went had the date with

0:11:18.720 --> 0:11:22.200
<v Speaker 5>this guy and he just wanted to play board games

0:11:22.280 --> 0:11:25.000
<v Speaker 5>all night. Okay, Like we went back to his place

0:11:25.080 --> 0:11:28.160
<v Speaker 5>and he had Monopoly and he had Scrabble and it

0:11:28.280 --> 0:11:31.880
<v Speaker 5>was just like an endless like it's all he wanted

0:11:31.920 --> 0:11:32.079
<v Speaker 5>to do.

0:11:33.720 --> 0:11:35.480
<v Speaker 2>Last three days book worthy.

0:11:37.559 --> 0:11:38.800
<v Speaker 4>That was her horror stories.

0:11:38.880 --> 0:11:39.760
<v Speaker 2>So what's the problem with that.

0:11:40.520 --> 0:11:42.480
<v Speaker 5>Well, the thing is is that I kind of had

0:11:42.480 --> 0:11:45.600
<v Speaker 5>a whole night planned and after dinner, like, what's in

0:11:45.640 --> 0:11:50.959
<v Speaker 5>my living room? A couple of board games? Oh?

0:11:51.000 --> 0:11:54.360
<v Speaker 3>I see, so I just derailed your Okay, I care.

0:11:55.160 --> 0:11:57.559
<v Speaker 5>Then I had to make excuses to like sneak over

0:11:57.600 --> 0:11:59.960
<v Speaker 5>to the living room and like hide the game back.

0:12:00.120 --> 0:12:03.920
<v Speaker 2>I guess we're not going to play Connect for it tonight.

0:12:04.720 --> 0:12:06.880
<v Speaker 3>I bet that that's not what she meant. I bet

0:12:06.960 --> 0:12:08.920
<v Speaker 3>it's not that she didn't want to play board games.

0:12:08.960 --> 0:12:11.680
<v Speaker 3>It's just that maybe this guy had literally hours of

0:12:11.720 --> 0:12:15.240
<v Speaker 3>it playing or it was like really competitive in a

0:12:15.320 --> 0:12:16.200
<v Speaker 3>dumb way, you know.

0:12:16.880 --> 0:12:18.960
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I mean maybe. But then she was also like,

0:12:19.080 --> 0:12:21.160
<v Speaker 5>I've been on like so many days we're like, guys

0:12:21.200 --> 0:12:23.120
<v Speaker 5>have tried to cook for me and just like totally

0:12:23.120 --> 0:12:26.199
<v Speaker 5>burnt the food. Oh and I'm like in the middle

0:12:26.240 --> 0:12:28.280
<v Speaker 5>of cooking, well she says this, So then I'm like,

0:12:28.360 --> 0:12:34.240
<v Speaker 5>oh my god, if I don't get these Inchulata's perfect,

0:12:34.280 --> 0:12:37.000
<v Speaker 5>I'm gonna get ripped about. And I'm like it was

0:12:37.040 --> 0:12:40.760
<v Speaker 5>just very stressful, Okay.

0:12:40.960 --> 0:12:43.160
<v Speaker 3>I mean I could see how her stories you could

0:12:43.160 --> 0:12:46.400
<v Speaker 3>interpret them to be about you. I don't think that

0:12:46.520 --> 0:12:48.319
<v Speaker 3>was it wasn't her intention though.

0:12:48.760 --> 0:12:51.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, And you don't have to just believe us telling

0:12:51.160 --> 0:12:53.600
<v Speaker 1>you that. You can hear it straight from Fran's mouth.

0:12:54.160 --> 0:13:00.320
<v Speaker 1>Why do I keep saying it like that because she's

0:13:00.400 --> 0:13:02.240
<v Speaker 1>on the other line right now wants to talk to you.

0:13:02.280 --> 0:13:07.480
<v Speaker 2>Man, Oh my god, Hey, that's Frand in her mouth. Yeah,

0:13:09.760 --> 0:13:11.400
<v Speaker 2>go ahead, friend's mouth, say stuff.

0:13:14.480 --> 0:13:18.880
<v Speaker 4>Hey, Tommy, I'm first of all, I'm sorry that's start.

0:13:19.400 --> 0:13:22.640
<v Speaker 4>Everything that you said is true, and you would ask

0:13:22.720 --> 0:13:24.560
<v Speaker 4>and I just thought it would be like they were

0:13:24.640 --> 0:13:26.160
<v Speaker 4>kind of funny and silly, and I just thought it

0:13:26.160 --> 0:13:28.400
<v Speaker 4>would be fine to kind of talk about it. But

0:13:28.440 --> 0:13:31.080
<v Speaker 4>I can see how that would send somebody kind of

0:13:31.080 --> 0:13:31.800
<v Speaker 4>into their head.

0:13:32.200 --> 0:13:33.920
<v Speaker 2>Tommy, are you hearing her?

0:13:35.760 --> 0:13:38.280
<v Speaker 5>Yeah? I don't know. It was just like a little

0:13:39.160 --> 0:13:40.400
<v Speaker 5>I mean, I don't know how you want me to

0:13:40.440 --> 0:13:42.040
<v Speaker 5>feel about that, you know, It's just like I feel

0:13:42.080 --> 0:13:43.640
<v Speaker 5>like it's like, all right, sweet, put a ton of

0:13:43.679 --> 0:13:45.400
<v Speaker 5>pressure on me, like on this first date when I

0:13:45.400 --> 0:13:46.120
<v Speaker 5>don't know you.

0:13:45.840 --> 0:13:48.959
<v Speaker 4>You know, well, listen, first, I had no idea about

0:13:48.960 --> 0:13:51.480
<v Speaker 4>the board games, and I'm sorry if you felt like

0:13:51.520 --> 0:13:53.720
<v Speaker 4>you had to hide stuff. And to be clear, the

0:13:53.720 --> 0:13:56.920
<v Speaker 4>board game guy tried to explain settlers of Catan to

0:13:57.000 --> 0:13:59.720
<v Speaker 4>me for an hour and I just couldn't handle it.

0:14:00.000 --> 0:14:03.080
<v Speaker 1>Okay, but it's not that you hate any board games

0:14:03.080 --> 0:14:06.080
<v Speaker 1>as a date night. It was just with that particular guy, right, careful,

0:14:06.679 --> 0:14:10.040
<v Speaker 1>somebody that you're down to scrabble with, Tommy, maybe one

0:14:10.040 --> 0:14:10.160
<v Speaker 1>of the.

0:14:10.200 --> 0:14:14.959
<v Speaker 3>Worst games else, Okay, what you want, mouse Trap.

0:14:17.240 --> 0:14:22.840
<v Speaker 2>Operation. They don't care, Jose.

0:14:24.840 --> 0:14:27.360
<v Speaker 5>I've actually never played Hungry Hungry Hit Both.

0:14:29.080 --> 0:14:31.040
<v Speaker 3>It is the worst game. It is so dumb.

0:14:31.160 --> 0:14:31.680
<v Speaker 2>I'm sorry.

0:14:34.120 --> 0:14:36.720
<v Speaker 4>Honestly, is somebody who talked about not liking board games.

0:14:36.760 --> 0:14:37.880
<v Speaker 4>I really like that game?

0:14:41.200 --> 0:14:41.560
<v Speaker 5>All right?

0:14:41.720 --> 0:14:45.600
<v Speaker 1>Fine, I really, Tommy, I'm going to take Fran's side here.

0:14:45.640 --> 0:14:47.880
<v Speaker 1>I really don't think you need to feel like insecure

0:14:47.920 --> 0:14:50.800
<v Speaker 1>about her worst people I've Ever dated book.

0:14:51.080 --> 0:14:52.120
<v Speaker 2>Just don't read because.

0:14:52.800 --> 0:14:55.840
<v Speaker 3>Maybe her second book can be about how her dating

0:14:55.960 --> 0:14:58.920
<v Speaker 3>life turned into a relationship, and that could be starring you.

0:14:58.960 --> 0:14:59.840
<v Speaker 4>Nobody wants to read that.

0:15:00.080 --> 0:15:05.320
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I'm writing the Worst Coworkers I've Ever had book,

0:15:05.640 --> 0:15:08.280
<v Speaker 2>and no one in this room isn't it. So you

0:15:08.280 --> 0:15:09.880
<v Speaker 2>don't need to feel insecure about that at all.

0:15:10.320 --> 0:15:16.760
<v Speaker 3>I don't because keep talking just by comparison, but I.

0:15:16.720 --> 0:15:19.120
<v Speaker 1>Really think you should give Fran another shot. Here Tommy,

0:15:19.160 --> 0:15:20.840
<v Speaker 1>and if you're willing to go out with her, we'll

0:15:20.840 --> 0:15:21.560
<v Speaker 1>pay for that date.

0:15:24.520 --> 0:15:27.720
<v Speaker 5>Look, I I was having a good time. If I

0:15:27.720 --> 0:15:30.120
<v Speaker 5>can just maybe just get a promise that she's not

0:15:30.200 --> 0:15:33.000
<v Speaker 5>gonna write about me, that would be amazing.

0:15:34.600 --> 0:15:37.520
<v Speaker 3>Really juicy chapter that she'd have to leave out.

0:15:37.800 --> 0:15:39.960
<v Speaker 4>I'll I'll tell you what, Tommy, I will do you

0:15:39.960 --> 0:15:43.120
<v Speaker 4>one better. I will write about this, except I will

0:15:43.120 --> 0:15:45.720
<v Speaker 4>take full responsibility and be the bad date.

0:15:51.600 --> 0:15:53.560
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you're using us as content to be in

0:15:53.600 --> 0:15:54.000
<v Speaker 2>your book.

0:15:54.480 --> 0:15:56.640
<v Speaker 3>I think I have to call my agent first, and

0:15:57.800 --> 0:15:59.160
<v Speaker 3>I'm sure that there's a cut that.

0:15:59.080 --> 0:15:59.880
<v Speaker 2>We're supposed to get.

0:16:00.200 --> 0:16:02.920
