Speaker 1: Okay, fair Mercedes uh talking to Kathy right now, as

44
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,239
Speaker 1: she will be the eyes and ears and also kind

45
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 1: of the the spy on the ground, but strategically placed

46
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 1: to also step in when she sees it's necessary and needed.

47
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 1: What are some red flags that Kathy can be looking

48
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 1: out for on this date and paying attention to.

49
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 6: Oh, like in me or him?

50
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 1: I guess both.

00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 6: You yeah, zero, I don't know.

52
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 4: I feel like sometimes like my body language, you can

53
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:50,640
Speaker 4: tell if I'm like, someone else could come in the conversation,

54
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 4: like maybe it's like it's awkward.

55
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 5: I don't know, so they I don't know. Maybe just

56
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 5: like my body languige.

57
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 3: Okay, what do you do when you're nervous? What'ta be

58
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,360
Speaker 3: looking for? What do you do when you're feeling awkward

59
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 3: or nervous?

00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:02,079
Speaker 5: Laugh a lot?

61
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 4: Like I think like someone will be like say something,

62
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:07,920
Speaker 4: I'll just like laugh just because I feel like that

63
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 4: makes it feel better.

64
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: I don't know.

65
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 6: So maybe that I don't know.

66
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 3: That's good.

67
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 2: It's good ice breaker. Yeah, yeah, for sure.

68
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,959
Speaker 5: I don't know other red flags. I don't know what's

69
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:19,639
Speaker 5: his red flag?

70
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 2: What's something that could end this before it gets started?

71
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 6: Ooh maybe?

72
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 4: I mean honestly, what if he gets there and he's like,

73
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 4: you know, mingling doing his things and then doesn't give

74
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 4: me the attention, like doesn't make me feel seen, I'll

75
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 4: have a word with him.

76
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 1: Yeah okay, Yeah.

77
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 4: So that's that's the red flag that you got to

78
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 4: be looking for. Make sure he's giving me attention.

79
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 2: Okay, got it.

80
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 1: I trust Kathy when she says I will have a

81
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 1: word with him, she will make sure this guy is

82
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 1: on the straight note tonight. Now, Kathy, I need you

83
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 1: to be slick like this is not an upfront like

84
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 1: he doesn't need to know that. I've asked this of

85
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 1: you and Deanna, but I need you to be slick.

86
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 1: And I also, if you can, would you text me

87
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 1: some pictures? Does it have to be the two of

88
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 1: them together, even just some pictures and updates as the

89
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 1: night goes on. Absolutely, I appreciate that. And you know

90
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 1: we're gonna be strategically talking through the night about how

91
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 1: things are going now. I think the two of you,

92
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 1: because we have the ability to set this up beforehand,

93
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:27,799
Speaker 1: need a code word. So Mercedes, when you need Deanna

94
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 1: or Kathy to step in, I think a code word

95
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:36,159
Speaker 1: would be really helpful, helpful or necessary, good or bad?

96
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 1: Like she maybe you just need a break and you

97
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 1: need somebody to distract him for a bit.

98
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, that code word, Bell.

99
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 2: I don't know what what comes to mind for you.

100
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,280
Speaker 2: It's got to be something that you feel comfortable utter ring.

101
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 5: I don't know. I'm not good with coming up with

102
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 5: stuff like this.

103
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 6: I don't know.

104
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:58,600
Speaker 1: I got it's not a code word, But Mercedes, I

105
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 1: think you need to give Kathy a very clear wink

106
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 1: when you need it, like just a nice little wink,

107
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 1: because that can come off as you're just saying hey

108
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:10,600
Speaker 1: to Kathy or I'm saying hey, Kathy, Deanna, I need

109
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 1: you to step in right now. But a nice wink

110
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 1: is just a really kind you.

111
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 4: Do.

112
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 1: So this this is going to be a ton of

113
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 1: fun and it is an event whether it's loud and

114
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 1: there's a lot of people. Kathy, obviously you and Deanna

115
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 1: are also participating with us in this whole experience when

116
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 1: it comes to a first date. Kathy, Uh, what is

117
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:53,039
Speaker 1: your advice for Mercedes as she walks into these type

118
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:54,160
Speaker 1: of scenarios.

119
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 3: You mean specifically tonight, I think tonight's a good Yeah.

120
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 1: In general, I think it's.

121
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 3: Going to be a little different because there's it's going

122
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 3: to be so many people there and loud. So if

123
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 3: I were him, I'd probably be saying, hey, do you

124
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:08,919
Speaker 3: want to just step out in the hallway and just

125
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,280
Speaker 3: talk for a few minutes. I would do that if

126
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:13,839
Speaker 3: I were you, because otherwise, you know, you're just not

127
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 3: going to be able to necessarily hear what you say.

128
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,039
Speaker 6: Yeah, it'll be like chaotic too long.

129
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,160
Speaker 3: You know, you just just long enough to see if

130
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 3: he deserves a second date.

131
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, tonight will be a hard place to have, Like

132
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 1: it's a fun place to have a first day, I think,

133
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 1: but it will be a hard place to have too

134
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 1: high expectations of how much you're going to get to

135
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 1: know about this guy because it is loud.

136
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 2: Come on, let's be honest.

137
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,159
Speaker 3: When you see someone and you look him in the

138
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:54,119
Speaker 3: eye and you see his smile and how he's dressed

139
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 3: and what he looks like, you're going to know whether

140
00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:00,480
Speaker 3: you would really rather listen to the music or talk right.

141
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:01,599
Speaker 6: Yeah, very true.

142
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, the two of you have met how many times

143
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 1: previous to this?

144
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 3: Just once before at Katie, Katy and Zach's wedding party.

145
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 1: At Katie and Zach's party.

146
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 6: Last week was very recent.

147
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, Mercedes, I probably should have asked for your consent

148
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 1: before I asked Kathy to be your wing woman at

149
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 1: this then are yes?

150
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 6: One hundreds?

151
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 3: She is gorgeous and listen to any guy that doesn't

152
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 3: just say, how did I get so lucky? Unless he

153
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 3: decides he wants a cougar, in which case you're out,

154
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 3: in which case, which in which case this experiment is over.

155
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 3: That does lead me to a question, Kathy, for you. Obviously,

156
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 3: you and Deanna are going to be there tonight, taking

157
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 3: part in everything going on and having a blast. But

158
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 3: will the two of you be keeping your eyes open

159
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 3: for yourselves you think at this event?

160
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 2: Does that really require an answer that?

161
00:07:58,120 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, he does.

162
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 3: Answer, But yes, always, I always have one eye in

163
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 3: the present and one eye.

164
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 2: In the future.

165
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 5: Love that.

166
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 1: I think it's interesting, Kathy to be in the position

167
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 1: you are with Mercedes. You guys have different tastes. Everybody does.

168
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 1: But is there anything specific that you would be looking

169
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 1: out for, Kathy from a distance when it comes to

170
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 1: this guy that would maybe bring you a red flag?

171
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 2: Well, Mercedes said it.

172
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:32,440
Speaker 3: If he is not looking at you and trying to

173
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 3: cultivate a relationship as best he can, if he's really busy,

174
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 3: for example, talking to the other single girls and not

175
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 3: spending time with you, that is a crimson waving red flag. Yes,

176
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 3: he better be devoting his time and attention to you.

177
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 5: Yeah.

178
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 1: Well, and me, it'd be nice if you could listen

179
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,960
Speaker 1: to this because it is very simple tonight. There's not

180
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 1: a lot of like hoops and things you have to do.

181
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:00,440
Speaker 1: All you have to do is just give, you know,

182
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 1: to be curious about Mercedes, give her attention to see

183
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 1: where this can go. There's nothing else. And if he doesn't,

184
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 1: I would say that is a red flag.

185
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 5: Absolutely I would agree with that too.

186
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 2: And I would say it's here's your hat, what's your hurry.

187
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,079
Speaker 1: I hope you do, Kathy. I hope you don't have

188
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 1: to do that, but I hope you would if that's

189
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:25,320
Speaker 1: the scenario that you get placed in tonight. I can't

190
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 1: wait to hear how this all goes. It's going to

191
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 1: be absolutely fantastic, Kathy. Before we close out, though, is

192
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:36,680
Speaker 1: there any updates on your love life as we talk?

193
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 2: Not really.

194
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 3: I mean I met a guy I think I talked

195
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 3: to you about him, and it just it didn't He

196
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 3: kind of went for the local girl, nice guy, but

197
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 3: he decided Texas was a little too far away for him.

198
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:54,840
Speaker 1: Is long distance now, Mercedes? Kind of in the back

199
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 1: of your mind after Boston?

200
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:58,679
Speaker 6: Man, is it in the back of my mind?

201
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 1: Yeah? Is it something that could be a problem for

202
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 1: you or are you still open to it.

203
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 4: I'm still very open to it. I feel like it

00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 4: with Boston, Like he was like, oh the distance. But

209
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 4: I'm like, okay, so you just like you weren't willing
