<v Speaker 2>Yes, I don't know.

0:00:04.440 --> 0:00:07.760
<v Speaker 1>That we've ever had a test that someone has done

0:00:07.800 --> 0:00:09.240
<v Speaker 1>on a date on this show that it's.

0:00:09.200 --> 0:00:14.320
<v Speaker 2>Actually worked out. Ever, ever, ever good, and today is

0:00:14.320 --> 0:00:15.280
<v Speaker 2>the absolute worst.

0:00:15.520 --> 0:00:19.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's so bad, so bad, you're gonna hear it

0:00:19.040 --> 0:00:22.239
<v Speaker 1>in a moment. But first, for all those that checked

<v Speaker 3>Yeah, they are positive. Question to Mark, you can all

0:00:35.080 --> 0:00:38.880
<v Speaker 3>read the positive, that's for sure. Yeah, Tristan said, literally

0:00:38.920 --> 0:00:41.240
<v Speaker 3>been skipping this episode for the last couple of days

0:00:41.280 --> 0:00:44.000
<v Speaker 3>because it was too long, but literally the best one

0:00:44.040 --> 0:00:45.120
<v Speaker 3>hour of my wik.

0:00:47.120 --> 0:00:49.559
<v Speaker 2>And then because our full episodes are one hour, they

0:00:49.560 --> 0:00:51.400
<v Speaker 2>are Yeah, it's a lot of us, we get it.

0:00:51.440 --> 0:00:53.480
<v Speaker 3>And then someone else said, Jeffrey totally wanted this post

0:00:53.560 --> 0:00:55.440
<v Speaker 3>it so we'd all know it was his birthday, and

0:00:55.480 --> 0:00:59.000
<v Speaker 3>I realized we post Jeff's Yeah, do you want to

0:00:59.040 --> 0:00:59.880
<v Speaker 3>hear Jeff's birthday?

0:01:00.320 --> 0:01:02.560
<v Speaker 2>Just yesterday?

0:01:02.880 --> 0:01:06.319
<v Speaker 1>But right now brand new Second Date. Gonna love your

0:01:06.360 --> 0:01:09.240
<v Speaker 1>comments after this one. It starts right now.

0:01:10.400 --> 0:01:14.920
<v Speaker 4>Second Date updated. We cover a lot of trends on

0:01:14.959 --> 0:01:20.280
<v Speaker 4>this show and weird dating terms like bread crumbing, Darth vadering.

0:01:21.520 --> 0:01:23.640
<v Speaker 4>That's where you battle your own son to see who

0:01:23.720 --> 0:01:24.920
<v Speaker 4>gets to kiss your sister.

0:01:25.720 --> 0:01:26.240
<v Speaker 2>I do not.

0:01:29.280 --> 0:01:32.160
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah, it's big on the East coast right now.

0:01:32.200 --> 0:01:35.760
<v Speaker 4>There's definitely some weird ones out there, and one we

0:01:35.840 --> 0:01:38.920
<v Speaker 4>came across recently is called the Alpha Challenge.

0:01:39.240 --> 0:01:39.640
<v Speaker 2>What's Up?

0:01:40.160 --> 0:01:44.440
<v Speaker 4>And I think our listener might fit underneath that umbrella

0:01:44.440 --> 0:01:48.040
<v Speaker 4>because she admits she likes to test men whenever they

0:01:48.080 --> 0:01:51.440
<v Speaker 4>go out on a date. She says she feels like

0:01:51.600 --> 0:01:54.400
<v Speaker 4>maybe she crossed the line this most recent time. So

0:01:54.480 --> 0:01:56.200
<v Speaker 4>let's welcome to the show. Mallory.

0:01:56.640 --> 0:01:59.920
<v Speaker 5>How you doing, Mallory, Hi guys, I'm okay. Oh my god.

0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:02.080
<v Speaker 1>I'll tell you We've never had a dating test that

0:02:02.120 --> 0:02:05.880
<v Speaker 1>hasn't failed on this show. Like every time someone is like,

0:02:06.080 --> 0:02:07.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to test them, like it never works out

0:02:08.600 --> 0:02:10.480
<v Speaker 1>backfires like it works absolutely.

0:02:10.800 --> 0:02:13.919
<v Speaker 4>So you said, maybe you feel like you crossed the line.

0:02:13.919 --> 0:02:15.519
<v Speaker 4>Why don't you start by telling us the name of

0:02:15.560 --> 0:02:16.680
<v Speaker 4>this guy that you met?

0:02:16.919 --> 0:02:20.400
<v Speaker 6>Okay, So the guy's name is John and we met

0:02:20.400 --> 0:02:24.760
<v Speaker 6>online and so many men's profiles they time act like

0:02:24.760 --> 0:02:28.320
<v Speaker 6>their alps like a big fish thing. I'm such a man,

0:02:28.880 --> 0:02:30.440
<v Speaker 6>and it's like, if you got to do the big fish,

0:02:30.480 --> 0:02:32.960
<v Speaker 6>I don't know. Look, it's really all okay.

0:02:33.080 --> 0:02:37.080
<v Speaker 2>Wow, girl, say that I offended right now here. Now

0:02:37.200 --> 0:02:40.080
<v Speaker 2>women hate the fish pictures? Really, Yeah, who are they for?

0:02:40.240 --> 0:02:41.160
<v Speaker 2>They're only for you?

0:02:41.680 --> 0:02:43.000
<v Speaker 6>These are only for you.

0:02:43.440 --> 0:02:45.239
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, okay, Well you don't get to split any of

0:02:45.240 --> 0:02:47.280
<v Speaker 4>our fish then after we come and cook it up

0:02:48.360 --> 0:02:48.680
<v Speaker 4>for us.

0:02:48.960 --> 0:02:50.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure you know how to fish.

0:02:50.639 --> 0:02:54.079
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, my housekeeper Lucy does, and that's all that matters.

0:02:56.120 --> 0:02:58.040
<v Speaker 1>Are these the alphas that you're talking about, just like

0:02:58.120 --> 0:02:59.920
<v Speaker 1>Jeffrey exactly?

0:03:00.280 --> 0:03:03.320
<v Speaker 4>Okay, okay, anyway back to this guy John, what was

0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:03.760
<v Speaker 4>his deal?

0:03:04.760 --> 0:03:08.000
<v Speaker 6>John did have his humongous fish picture, and I was like,

0:03:08.000 --> 0:03:10.880
<v Speaker 6>all right, you look kind of manly. So I'm thinking

0:03:11.000 --> 0:03:13.200
<v Speaker 6>like if this is legit, if he's anything like this, like.

0:03:13.160 --> 0:03:13.560
<v Speaker 4>We're good.

0:03:13.600 --> 0:03:17.639
<v Speaker 6>We're probably gonna make out. Well here, okay, all right,

0:03:18.520 --> 0:03:19.200
<v Speaker 6>yeah that too.

0:03:20.120 --> 0:03:23.519
<v Speaker 2>She's a fan of this, yeah you were, yes, total.

0:03:23.200 --> 0:03:25.280
<v Speaker 6>Fan, total fan. And so for our first date, he

0:03:25.400 --> 0:03:28.639
<v Speaker 6>was like, let's do an escape room. And I've done

0:03:28.639 --> 0:03:30.880
<v Speaker 6>those before. I've done those with guys on dates, and

0:03:31.480 --> 0:03:33.400
<v Speaker 6>I think you see a lot about a person because

0:03:33.560 --> 0:03:36.200
<v Speaker 6>there's all this problem solving and puzzle and you really get.

0:03:36.080 --> 0:03:38.160
<v Speaker 4>To see, Yeah, it's a good chance for him to

0:03:38.200 --> 0:03:40.360
<v Speaker 4>show off all of his alpha skills in order to

0:03:40.640 --> 0:03:41.640
<v Speaker 4>escape you from the room.

0:03:42.080 --> 0:03:43.400
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, like, let me see what you got.

0:03:43.480 --> 0:03:43.760
<v Speaker 4>Okay.

0:03:44.480 --> 0:03:47.200
<v Speaker 6>We met at a bar near by first, and he

0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:51.920
<v Speaker 6>walks in looking real good. He's sefy, he's tall, and

0:03:52.000 --> 0:03:53.080
<v Speaker 6>I was I was all about it.

0:03:53.160 --> 0:03:53.480
<v Speaker 2>Okay.

0:03:53.520 --> 0:03:57.600
<v Speaker 1>So he's like man's man and you're you're totally digging it.

0:03:57.640 --> 0:04:00.720
<v Speaker 6>Totally digging it. So I figured, okay, how do I

0:04:00.800 --> 0:04:02.840
<v Speaker 6>test this guy? Like, how am I going to figure

0:04:02.840 --> 0:04:05.440
<v Speaker 6>out if he's really an alpha in this escape room?

0:04:05.480 --> 0:04:08.840
<v Speaker 6>So we went to the first room and he actually

0:04:08.880 --> 0:04:11.920
<v Speaker 6>surprised me because it was like this kind of creepy

0:04:12.000 --> 0:04:14.600
<v Speaker 6>room and he's like, oh, I recognize this place. I

0:04:14.680 --> 0:04:15.760
<v Speaker 6>think my ex limbd here.

0:04:16.160 --> 0:04:21.480
<v Speaker 1>I was like, okay, so he's funny too, Okay, yeah exactly,

0:04:21.600 --> 0:04:22.520
<v Speaker 1>So that could go either way.

0:04:22.560 --> 0:04:24.280
<v Speaker 6>Are you funny or you know, can you own it?

0:04:24.360 --> 0:04:26.640
<v Speaker 6>So then we go to the second room and there's

0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:30.320
<v Speaker 6>this like closet thing, and so he goes in and

0:04:30.400 --> 0:04:33.440
<v Speaker 6>I just closed the door behind him and I locked it.

0:04:33.600 --> 0:04:36.520
<v Speaker 4>Wait, whoa, whoa? What you locked it in a closet.

0:04:36.800 --> 0:04:38.560
<v Speaker 6>I locked him in the clouse, and I'm like, all right,

0:04:38.560 --> 0:04:40.880
<v Speaker 6>this is the perfect test. Can this man be a

0:04:40.920 --> 0:04:42.240
<v Speaker 6>man and get himself out of there?

0:04:42.520 --> 0:04:44.040
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. I feel like it's a red flag

0:04:44.080 --> 0:04:45.200
<v Speaker 2>if a guy can pick a lock.

0:04:45.680 --> 0:04:48.920
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, no, I think I think I'd be like this

0:04:49.000 --> 0:04:50.520
<v Speaker 6>man knows how to be a man. I think I

0:04:50.520 --> 0:04:51.479
<v Speaker 6>would have I would have done it.

0:04:51.880 --> 0:04:53.320
<v Speaker 4>Okay, So what happened?

0:04:53.440 --> 0:04:56.280
<v Speaker 6>So he's in there like fumbling around for like about

0:04:56.320 --> 0:04:56.839
<v Speaker 6>ten minutes?

0:04:57.120 --> 0:04:58.360
<v Speaker 1>WHOA was not? Wait?

0:04:58.400 --> 0:05:01.320
<v Speaker 2>What was his mood? Was he geting angry at you?

0:05:01.839 --> 0:05:03.800
<v Speaker 6>At the very beginning, he was laughing, he thought it

0:05:03.839 --> 0:05:07.440
<v Speaker 6>was a joke, But as the minutes went on, he

0:05:07.640 --> 0:05:10.080
<v Speaker 6>was not as playful. He was kind of pissed, and.

0:05:11.720 --> 0:05:14.520
<v Speaker 3>There was imagine what the person who's watching your room

0:05:14.600 --> 0:05:17.640
<v Speaker 3>is thinking.

0:05:17.880 --> 0:05:20.720
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I don't know. A real alpha would have taken

0:05:20.720 --> 0:05:22.960
<v Speaker 4>out his fish from his pocket, picked the bones and

0:05:23.000 --> 0:05:25.640
<v Speaker 4>turned them into a key and unlocked the door.

0:05:26.440 --> 0:05:27.800
<v Speaker 6>That's the kind of man I want.

0:05:28.040 --> 0:05:29.840
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, exactly, I see where you're coming from.

0:05:30.040 --> 0:05:31.000
<v Speaker 2>Do you feel bad at all?

0:05:31.720 --> 0:05:32.200
<v Speaker 5>Not at all.

0:05:32.240 --> 0:05:34.520
<v Speaker 6>I feel like this was a really solid test, and

0:05:35.200 --> 0:05:37.440
<v Speaker 6>I feel like I gave the guy a really you know,

0:05:37.600 --> 0:05:39.800
<v Speaker 6>like an opportunity to prove himself. So I think I

0:05:39.839 --> 0:05:42.440
<v Speaker 6>was doing a good thing. And then the guy that

0:05:42.600 --> 0:05:45.000
<v Speaker 6>ran the escape room he like walked in. He's like,

0:05:45.320 --> 0:05:49.480
<v Speaker 6>is everything okay in here? He's like, you want me

0:05:49.520 --> 0:05:50.120
<v Speaker 6>to unlock it?

0:05:50.200 --> 0:05:53.320
<v Speaker 5>And I'm like no, no, no, no, this was the

0:05:53.360 --> 0:05:53.800
<v Speaker 5>whole test.

0:05:53.880 --> 0:05:56.280
<v Speaker 3>I can't let him out, and we're wondering why he's

0:05:56.320 --> 0:05:57.120
<v Speaker 3>not calling you back?

0:05:58.240 --> 0:06:01.760
<v Speaker 4>How does the escape aprom experience and did he figure

0:06:01.760 --> 0:06:02.440
<v Speaker 4>it out?

0:06:02.640 --> 0:06:04.360
<v Speaker 6>So we give him a few more minutes and then

0:06:04.600 --> 0:06:07.640
<v Speaker 6>I let the guy let him out and he was

0:06:08.160 --> 0:06:11.520
<v Speaker 6>super salty. Yeah, you know what, It's fine because at

0:06:11.520 --> 0:06:13.520
<v Speaker 6>that point I already know like we're not a match.

0:06:13.839 --> 0:06:15.520
<v Speaker 6>This guy couldn't get out by his felt so he's

0:06:15.520 --> 0:06:16.720
<v Speaker 6>not for me anyway.

0:06:17.520 --> 0:06:19.000
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, this is confusing then.

0:06:19.080 --> 0:06:21.440
<v Speaker 6>Well so wait, so then we leave and I'm like, okay,

0:06:21.480 --> 0:06:24.359
<v Speaker 6>can you just take me home? And he goes, no,

0:06:24.560 --> 0:06:25.960
<v Speaker 6>why don't you go uber yourself home?

0:06:26.080 --> 0:06:26.320
<v Speaker 4>Yeah?

0:06:26.400 --> 0:06:29.760
<v Speaker 6>I mean yeah, And I was like, that's my kind

0:06:29.800 --> 0:06:32.800
<v Speaker 6>of man. So that once, once he wanted me to

0:06:32.800 --> 0:06:35.480
<v Speaker 6>take my own Uber and driving home, I was like,

0:06:35.880 --> 0:06:37.359
<v Speaker 6>that's the alpha man I'm looking for.

0:06:37.640 --> 0:06:41.640
<v Speaker 4>He stood up for himself. He finally took a stand against.

0:06:42.040 --> 0:06:44.840
<v Speaker 1>This is so strange to me because it's like you

0:06:44.880 --> 0:06:48.360
<v Speaker 1>push him to a brink and then he finally pushes back.

0:06:48.400 --> 0:06:50.880
<v Speaker 2>And that's the type of relationship you're looking for.

0:06:51.200 --> 0:06:54.200
<v Speaker 4>On the first date, he was able to muster that energy.

0:06:54.240 --> 0:06:56.640
<v Speaker 6>You know, why, why waste the time? Let's see exactly

0:06:56.680 --> 0:06:58.720
<v Speaker 6>how we click and like, now I know he's the

0:06:58.800 --> 0:06:59.640
<v Speaker 6>kind of guy I want.

0:07:00.320 --> 0:07:04.640
<v Speaker 2>Wow, this is going to be an interesting like.

0:07:04.920 --> 0:07:08.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean, we obviously know why he's not calling you back, right,

0:07:12.560 --> 0:07:13.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean we.

0:07:13.080 --> 0:07:15.360
<v Speaker 4>Think we know why, but we won't know until we

0:07:15.440 --> 0:07:18.880
<v Speaker 4>call this alpha directly and ask him what's going on

0:07:18.960 --> 0:07:20.000
<v Speaker 4>between you and Mallory.

0:07:20.120 --> 0:07:21.960
<v Speaker 1>Oh man, is it going to be like Alpha VI

0:07:22.080 --> 0:07:24.040
<v Speaker 1>Alpha Jeff with you and him on the phone.

0:07:24.160 --> 0:07:25.160
<v Speaker 2>Is it going to be really hard?

0:07:25.240 --> 0:07:28.840
<v Speaker 4>I mean, I think we just let this alpha shine first.

0:07:29.520 --> 0:07:30.160
<v Speaker 2>Alpha.

0:07:30.480 --> 0:07:33.119
<v Speaker 4>You'll be able to tell when the two alphas square

0:07:33.200 --> 0:07:35.560
<v Speaker 4>off because the dominant album you.

0:07:35.720 --> 0:07:38.240
<v Speaker 2>Actually hearing their voice who has more chest terror.

0:07:39.720 --> 0:07:41.400
<v Speaker 4>Be careful, Mallory, you might get a little bit too

0:07:41.400 --> 0:07:45.160
<v Speaker 4>turned on when we come back later. Ultra Alpha Second

0:07:45.240 --> 0:07:50.360
<v Speaker 4>date update coming up right after this second date update.

0:07:51.640 --> 0:07:53.920
<v Speaker 4>If you're just joining us for the second date update.

0:07:54.120 --> 0:07:58.280
<v Speaker 4>Mallory knows what she wants. She wants to date a

0:07:58.440 --> 0:08:03.000
<v Speaker 4>real man who can pass her alpha test and prove

0:08:03.480 --> 0:08:06.800
<v Speaker 4>he deserves to go out with her. And her test

0:08:06.880 --> 0:08:10.000
<v Speaker 4>for John recently was to lock him in the closet

0:08:10.040 --> 0:08:13.000
<v Speaker 4>of an escape room and told him a true alpha

0:08:13.040 --> 0:08:15.120
<v Speaker 4>could figure out a way to get out of this

0:08:15.360 --> 0:08:16.120
<v Speaker 4>all on his own.

0:08:16.880 --> 0:08:18.480
<v Speaker 1>I think you should have just dropped him in the

0:08:18.480 --> 0:08:20.880
<v Speaker 1>middle of the woods, fifty miles away and just seeing

0:08:20.880 --> 0:08:22.120
<v Speaker 1>if he found his way back to you.

0:08:22.280 --> 0:08:24.400
<v Speaker 4>I'll be back in a week. That's a good option

0:08:24.520 --> 0:08:29.280
<v Speaker 4>for day two coming up. Because the thing is John

0:08:29.360 --> 0:08:31.880
<v Speaker 4>did not figure out a way out of that closet.

0:08:31.920 --> 0:08:34.559
<v Speaker 4>He mostly begged and complained the entire.

0:08:34.320 --> 0:08:36.280
<v Speaker 2>Time, did not find the challenge fun.

0:08:36.520 --> 0:08:40.160
<v Speaker 4>But his shining moment came after the escape room when

0:08:40.200 --> 0:08:42.400
<v Speaker 4>she said, Hey, John, why don't you give me a

0:08:42.480 --> 0:08:45.400
<v Speaker 4>ride home? And he said, no, you get newber Yeah

0:08:46.280 --> 0:08:49.680
<v Speaker 4>alpha move, I mean not exactly like that. Yeah, well

0:08:49.920 --> 0:08:53.240
<v Speaker 4>something along those lines. It was enough to convince her, Oh,

0:08:53.320 --> 0:08:55.480
<v Speaker 4>he really is able to stand up for himself, and

0:08:55.520 --> 0:08:57.040
<v Speaker 4>now she wants us to call him.

0:08:57.120 --> 0:08:58.120
<v Speaker 2>That's what she liked.

0:08:58.160 --> 0:08:59.520
<v Speaker 4>It actually like turned her on.

0:08:59.760 --> 0:09:02.160
<v Speaker 2>I think all of this is going to be shocking

0:09:02.240 --> 0:09:02.600
<v Speaker 2>to him.

0:09:02.720 --> 0:09:05.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean I would personally feel like if I

0:09:05.280 --> 0:09:07.320
<v Speaker 1>got locked in the closet, it would be because they

0:09:07.320 --> 0:09:08.280
<v Speaker 1>didn't like Mallory.

0:09:08.320 --> 0:09:10.559
<v Speaker 4>Do you think that John is going to be totally

0:09:10.600 --> 0:09:12.720
<v Speaker 4>shocked when we're reaching out to him right here?

0:09:13.600 --> 0:09:16.360
<v Speaker 6>I mean, I get it. I mean, he's definitely not

0:09:16.640 --> 0:09:19.640
<v Speaker 6>happy with me right now after everything that happened. But

0:09:19.679 --> 0:09:22.440
<v Speaker 6>what I didn't get to tell him is that he

0:09:22.679 --> 0:09:25.600
<v Speaker 6>did pass the alpha test. Is not in the way

0:09:25.640 --> 0:09:27.400
<v Speaker 6>that I initially intended.

0:09:27.600 --> 0:09:30.439
<v Speaker 2>No, did he know that an alpha test was happening.

0:09:30.559 --> 0:09:32.560
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, he may have had no clue that he was

0:09:32.600 --> 0:09:35.160
<v Speaker 4>being tested at any point. He just thought you were

0:09:35.200 --> 0:09:36.199
<v Speaker 4>being you crazy.

0:09:36.160 --> 0:09:36.960
<v Speaker 2>This would be good news.

0:09:37.520 --> 0:09:37.760
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

0:09:38.200 --> 0:09:40.240
<v Speaker 6>Look at this point, I've only seen him do that

0:09:40.320 --> 0:09:42.360
<v Speaker 6>one thing, and that one thing was great, But like,

0:09:42.720 --> 0:09:45.640
<v Speaker 6>there's a lot more to show, so he's truly alpha material.

0:09:46.720 --> 0:09:50.360
<v Speaker 4>There's more tests, Okay, yeah, yes, yeah, And this call

0:09:50.440 --> 0:09:52.120
<v Speaker 4>is going to be a total curveball to him too,

0:09:52.200 --> 0:09:54.800
<v Speaker 4>So let's see how he handles it in an alpha manner.

0:09:54.800 --> 0:09:56.160
<v Speaker 5>Hopefully, yeah, hopefully.

0:09:55.880 --> 0:09:58.360
<v Speaker 2>Up on us. She is just going to be so excited.

0:09:58.559 --> 0:10:05.400
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I'm gonna be excited too. If that happens. Already,

0:10:05.400 --> 0:10:07.600
<v Speaker 4>here we go. I'm gonna John's number. Let's see if

0:10:07.600 --> 0:10:18.560
<v Speaker 4>he answers. Hello, Hey, is this is this John? Yes?

0:10:18.600 --> 0:10:18.920
<v Speaker 5>It is.

0:10:24.120 --> 0:10:28.720
<v Speaker 4>This isn't what I was expecting. Hey, Man, you're yeah,

0:10:28.840 --> 0:10:33.240
<v Speaker 4>Man's just excuse me, I'm talking. This is a show.

0:10:33.280 --> 0:10:35.480
<v Speaker 4>We're called Brook and Jeffrey in the Morning. You're on

0:10:35.559 --> 0:10:36.080
<v Speaker 4>it right now.

0:10:39.000 --> 0:10:41.360
<v Speaker 5>Okay, why that's a great question, John.

0:10:41.679 --> 0:10:44.319
<v Speaker 4>Yeah. The reason is because we do this segment it's

0:10:44.320 --> 0:10:47.880
<v Speaker 4>called a second Date Update, where we try to help

0:10:47.960 --> 0:10:50.440
<v Speaker 4>listeners get in touch with people again after they've gone

0:10:50.480 --> 0:10:52.920
<v Speaker 4>out on one date and are getting a follow up

0:10:52.960 --> 0:10:55.200
<v Speaker 4>for a second mm hmm.

0:10:56.280 --> 0:10:59.400
<v Speaker 5>Okay, yeah, yeah, I understand.

0:11:00.000 --> 0:11:04.560
<v Speaker 4>Okay, So recently you may or may not remember this,

0:11:04.679 --> 0:11:07.120
<v Speaker 4>but you went out with a woman named Mallory.

0:11:07.440 --> 0:11:11.240
<v Speaker 5>Oh yeah I did.

0:11:11.880 --> 0:11:12.920
<v Speaker 4>Okay.

0:11:13.200 --> 0:11:15.600
<v Speaker 2>I can't wait to hear how this date went for you.

0:11:15.720 --> 0:11:18.680
<v Speaker 4>Because we are bold why you aren't calling her back?

0:11:18.960 --> 0:11:20.319
<v Speaker 4>And that was their first hangout?

0:11:20.480 --> 0:11:22.320
<v Speaker 2>A lot of schasm in Jeff's voice.

0:11:22.280 --> 0:11:23.120
<v Speaker 4>So hold on you.

0:11:23.440 --> 0:11:25.520
<v Speaker 5>You don't know anything that happened.

0:11:26.400 --> 0:11:28.880
<v Speaker 4>We know a few things, you know. I don't want

0:11:28.880 --> 0:11:32.320
<v Speaker 4>to give everything away, but I understand it's probably not

0:11:32.480 --> 0:11:36.200
<v Speaker 4>your typical first date. That you've gone on, you know.

0:11:36.120 --> 0:11:38.080
<v Speaker 5>Getting locked in a closet not at all?

0:11:38.280 --> 0:11:42.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, I mean that's kind of the whole thing, right, Yeah, that.

0:11:42.920 --> 0:11:46.680
<v Speaker 5>Was not pleasant at all. I experienced the roller coaster

0:11:46.760 --> 0:11:48.880
<v Speaker 5>of emotions during the lock in.

0:11:49.720 --> 0:11:52.400
<v Speaker 2>At what point did you realize she wasn't joking?

0:11:53.880 --> 0:11:56.520
<v Speaker 5>Probably after the third time she banged on the door

0:11:56.559 --> 0:11:58.720
<v Speaker 5>and said, hey, dummy, are you you figured it out yet?

0:11:58.920 --> 0:12:02.160
<v Speaker 4>Who these words?

0:12:03.000 --> 0:12:03.959
<v Speaker 5>I'm pretty sure.

0:12:03.760 --> 0:12:04.840
<v Speaker 2>That's about what she said.

0:12:05.280 --> 0:12:09.480
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, okay, would you say that this whole locking in

0:12:09.480 --> 0:12:11.480
<v Speaker 4>the closet thing, that was the main reason that you're

0:12:11.520 --> 0:12:12.320
<v Speaker 4>not calling her back?

0:12:12.960 --> 0:12:15.400
<v Speaker 5>I mean yeah, I mean we argued about it. I

0:12:15.520 --> 0:12:18.040
<v Speaker 5>just I honestly, I just wanted to get the heck

0:12:18.120 --> 0:12:18.640
<v Speaker 5>out of there.

0:12:18.840 --> 0:12:21.360
<v Speaker 4>I think we all can understand why you would feel

0:12:21.360 --> 0:12:24.000
<v Speaker 4>that way. But I will say, on the other side

0:12:24.000 --> 0:12:27.640
<v Speaker 4>of it, sometimes when two people spark like that, that

0:12:27.679 --> 0:12:29.320
<v Speaker 4>could be a sign of a good thing.

0:12:29.480 --> 0:12:29.680
<v Speaker 6>Wow.

0:12:31.400 --> 0:12:34.440
<v Speaker 5>I mean, I don't know if sparks the word yeah, right, passion.

0:12:34.760 --> 0:12:38.559
<v Speaker 1>Okay, at any point did you want to kiss her?

0:12:38.840 --> 0:12:40.480
<v Speaker 2>That's I think what Jeff is getting at.

0:12:41.040 --> 0:12:43.720
<v Speaker 5>I mean I might have thought about it in the beginning, Yeah,

0:12:44.080 --> 0:12:47.240
<v Speaker 5>but after I heard that the third or fourth. Did

0:12:47.240 --> 0:12:49.120
<v Speaker 5>you figure it out yet? I was done.

0:12:49.520 --> 0:12:52.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I don't think anyone blames you for that.

0:12:52.840 --> 0:12:55.280
<v Speaker 4>Look, not every woman is going to challenge you like

0:12:55.360 --> 0:12:58.240
<v Speaker 4>this on a first date. Some women just sip wine.

0:12:58.280 --> 0:13:01.200
<v Speaker 4>They want to be showered and compliment. And this woman

0:13:01.280 --> 0:13:03.760
<v Speaker 4>is pushing you to be the greatest man you can be.

0:13:04.080 --> 0:13:06.120
<v Speaker 2>I don't know that you're hearing him, Jeff.

0:13:06.520 --> 0:13:07.960
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I don't think he is there.

0:13:08.400 --> 0:13:12.160
<v Speaker 4>There is a tiger inside of you waiting to be unleashed,

0:13:13.040 --> 0:13:15.280
<v Speaker 4>and I'd like to open the cage right now as

0:13:15.280 --> 0:13:17.360
<v Speaker 4>we tell you that Mallory is on the other line

0:13:17.400 --> 0:13:23.640
<v Speaker 4>wanting to talk to you. No, yeah, no, she is, oh.

0:13:23.520 --> 0:13:26.080
<v Speaker 2>My no, locked on the other phone line.

0:13:26.160 --> 0:13:29.600
<v Speaker 5>Right well, I mean she deserves to be locked somewhere.

0:13:31.000 --> 0:13:31.400
<v Speaker 4>Mallory.

0:13:31.480 --> 0:13:34.840
<v Speaker 5>You're out, Hi, John, Hi?

0:13:35.920 --> 0:13:37.800
<v Speaker 6>Well, first of all, I just I want you to

0:13:37.800 --> 0:13:40.400
<v Speaker 6>know I really appreciate that you took the call and

0:13:40.400 --> 0:13:41.319
<v Speaker 6>that you're here to talk.

0:13:41.800 --> 0:13:43.880
<v Speaker 5>This is almost like getting locked in the closet. I

0:13:43.920 --> 0:13:45.040
<v Speaker 5>was forced to they called me.

0:13:45.600 --> 0:13:46.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:13:47.000 --> 0:13:50.720
<v Speaker 6>Okay, Well listen, John. That whole thing was to kind

0:13:50.720 --> 0:13:52.400
<v Speaker 6>of just see, you know, if we click and see

0:13:52.440 --> 0:13:55.520
<v Speaker 6>what you're made of and see if you have that

0:13:55.640 --> 0:13:59.000
<v Speaker 6>kind of help energy that I'm really looking for a man.

0:13:59.080 --> 0:14:04.240
<v Speaker 6>And when you told me to go get an uber,

0:14:05.000 --> 0:14:08.280
<v Speaker 6>when you wouldn't drive me home, that was the biggest

0:14:08.360 --> 0:14:12.280
<v Speaker 6>turn on the way your voice that was so serious,

0:14:12.640 --> 0:14:18.560
<v Speaker 6>you like and at that moment, seriously, John, I would

0:14:18.640 --> 0:14:20.560
<v Speaker 6>have done anything for.

0:14:20.600 --> 0:14:25.080
<v Speaker 5>You to get in an uber and me walking away

0:14:25.120 --> 0:14:28.840
<v Speaker 5>turned you on. You are very sick lady. Oh did you.

0:14:28.920 --> 0:14:30.760
<v Speaker 6>Call me very sick? John? Yes?

0:14:31.400 --> 0:14:33.680
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, he did, and he said it with that deep,

0:14:33.760 --> 0:14:34.640
<v Speaker 4>husky voice of his.

0:14:35.000 --> 0:14:38.480
<v Speaker 6>You know what, that's exactly what a non alpha would say.

0:14:39.040 --> 0:14:43.240
<v Speaker 6>That's all sigma right there. You're follower. You don't even

0:14:43.400 --> 0:14:47.680
<v Speaker 6>own this. Okay, Yeah, you.

0:14:47.720 --> 0:14:50.840
<v Speaker 2>Don't like to be bad mouthed. Is that what you're saying?

0:14:51.200 --> 0:14:53.280
<v Speaker 6>You're gonna bad mouth me? You can do a little

0:14:53.320 --> 0:14:56.800
<v Speaker 6>bit more than sick. That was sick. That's that's no sigma.

0:14:56.920 --> 0:14:57.840
<v Speaker 6>You can't even come up with.

0:14:57.880 --> 0:15:01.920
<v Speaker 4>More than natural challenge issue, John, go harder? Okay.

0:15:02.000 --> 0:15:07.480
<v Speaker 5>So so if it's sick, isn't the right word then demented? Twisted? Maybe?

0:15:07.760 --> 0:15:09.440
<v Speaker 5>I don't know, but this is you know what, you

0:15:09.920 --> 0:15:12.000
<v Speaker 5>know what? And if you don't like me, you don't

0:15:12.040 --> 0:15:13.360
<v Speaker 5>have to Okay.

0:15:13.200 --> 0:15:14.840
<v Speaker 6>No, I don't and you know what, John, I should

0:15:14.880 --> 0:15:16.480
<v Speaker 6>have trusted my instincts when you couldn't get out of

0:15:16.520 --> 0:15:18.360
<v Speaker 6>that closet, because you know what else you don't know?

0:15:19.120 --> 0:15:20.760
<v Speaker 6>I hooked up with the escape room guy.

0:15:20.880 --> 0:15:23.800
<v Speaker 2>Okay, what do you mean when?

0:15:24.240 --> 0:15:24.480
<v Speaker 4>Yes?

0:15:25.000 --> 0:15:26.840
<v Speaker 2>When is exactly the right question.

0:15:27.480 --> 0:15:29.480
<v Speaker 6>When John left me there to get my own uber,

0:15:29.920 --> 0:15:32.440
<v Speaker 6>that guy came out, and that guy took advantage of

0:15:32.480 --> 0:15:34.840
<v Speaker 6>the situation. And he is the kind of alpha I

0:15:34.880 --> 0:15:35.400
<v Speaker 6>was looking for.

0:15:35.520 --> 0:15:38.520
<v Speaker 4>Oh after, he saw you.

0:15:38.480 --> 0:15:41.400
<v Speaker 3>Like a guy in a closet and liked it.

0:15:41.640 --> 0:15:45.200
<v Speaker 6>Apparently, So there are men that are alphas actually out there,

0:15:45.200 --> 0:15:45.920
<v Speaker 6>and that's the truth.

0:15:46.240 --> 0:15:49.080
<v Speaker 1>Like y the twenty something working part time is the

0:15:49.240 --> 0:15:51.800
<v Speaker 1>escape room is the alpha that you're looking for?

0:15:52.120 --> 0:15:54.800
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, that's the alpha she's looking That's the alpha she deserves.

0:15:55.280 --> 0:15:57.200
<v Speaker 4>Did you just did you just do this whole thing

0:15:57.240 --> 0:15:59.040
<v Speaker 4>to use us so you could tell him that?

0:15:59.480 --> 0:16:01.520
<v Speaker 6>No? I mean I would give that one more shot

0:16:01.560 --> 0:16:03.440
<v Speaker 6>to truly be an alpha, but you just don't have

0:16:03.520 --> 0:16:03.840
<v Speaker 6>it in you.

0:16:04.680 --> 0:16:05.480
<v Speaker 4>This is great.

0:16:05.520 --> 0:16:08.400
<v Speaker 2>I don't think that he's upset by that. Mallory.

0:16:08.560 --> 0:16:11.240
<v Speaker 6>Of course he's not, because he's not an alpha. So

0:16:11.280 --> 0:16:13.640
<v Speaker 6>he troubles it in and he doesn't stick up for

0:16:13.680 --> 0:16:16.400
<v Speaker 6>anything not strong buddy.

0:16:16.680 --> 0:16:19.080
<v Speaker 5>Okay, all right, well, you know, like I said, this

0:16:19.160 --> 0:16:21.000
<v Speaker 5>is me and you don't do it.

0:16:24.120 --> 0:16:26.240
<v Speaker 2>Again. You know.

0:16:26.360 --> 0:16:29.760
<v Speaker 5>You know what, lady, I really don't appreciate you labeling

0:16:29.800 --> 0:16:31.640
<v Speaker 5>me because I am who I am?

0:16:32.200 --> 0:16:35.040
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, John, are you are you telling me what to

0:16:35.080 --> 0:16:37.480
<v Speaker 6>think right now? Because that actually that that's kind of

0:16:37.480 --> 0:16:38.080
<v Speaker 6>doing it for me.

0:16:39.600 --> 0:16:40.520
<v Speaker 4>Okay, tell me what.

0:16:40.560 --> 0:16:44.080
<v Speaker 2>The thing is and I will off the right. Ye,

0:16:44.880 --> 0:16:45.920
<v Speaker 2>get me off the right.

0:16:46.000 --> 0:16:46.880
<v Speaker 4>Hold on, I'm staying on.

0:16:47.120 --> 0:16:49.280
<v Speaker 5>Just can John get off the right as well?

0:16:49.120 --> 0:16:52.600
<v Speaker 4>We can't get off until I ask you, John, would

0:16:52.640 --> 0:16:54.880
<v Speaker 4>you like to go out on one more date with Mallory?

0:16:55.280 --> 0:17:00.560
<v Speaker 4>And we would pay for absolutely not. It's a true

0:17:00.680 --> 0:17:03.240
<v Speaker 4>alpha move to turn down three gifts.

0:17:02.920 --> 0:17:06.399
<v Speaker 6>Like that final test said and done. Yep, So not

0:17:06.480 --> 0:17:08.600
<v Speaker 6>on alpha total that's coming or whatever.

0:17:08.640 --> 0:17:11.560
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I don't know.

0:17:11.920 --> 0:17:17.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm stop asking questions, but just.

0:17:16.920 --> 0:17:19.280
<v Speaker 6>Set him up. We just gave him the freaking ball

0:17:19.359 --> 0:17:21.000
<v Speaker 6>to go run with it and he just dropped it

0:17:21.040 --> 0:17:21.520
<v Speaker 6>once again.

0:17:23.520 --> 0:17:23.840
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

0:17:24.200 --> 0:17:25.080
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to be on this.

0:17:26.040 --> 0:17:28.600
<v Speaker 4>I guess now that only leaves one alpha in the

0:17:28.680 --> 0:17:30.119
<v Speaker 4>room as there always was.

0:17:30.240 --> 0:17:31.480
<v Speaker 2>Jeff, how are you talking about me?

0:17:35.280 --> 0:17:38.720
<v Speaker 4>I was like risk action on the ground really didn't

0:17:38.720 --> 0:17:43.159
<v Speaker 4>have Jeffrey in the morning. Some people just aren't a

0:17:43.200 --> 0:17:46.720
<v Speaker 4>good match. Even when you try over and over and

0:17:46.760 --> 0:17:49.480
<v Speaker 4>over to force it, it just doesn't work out.

0:17:49.640 --> 0:17:51.280
<v Speaker 2>That is a big lesson for you, Jeff.

0:17:51.400 --> 0:17:51.800
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

0:17:51.880 --> 0:17:53.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, it's a big one.

0:17:54.359 --> 0:17:56.280
<v Speaker 4>You don't got to learn it at some point. Not yet.

0:17:56.600 --> 0:17:59.640
<v Speaker 2>Is there a man that isn't frightened of her though?

0:18:00.000 --> 0:18:03.399
<v Speaker 1>Well? Escape room guy, Yeah, it worked out for him

0:18:03.560 --> 0:18:04.679
<v Speaker 1>because he knew where the key was.

0:18:04.880 --> 0:18:08.080
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, Walker in the closet too. Yeah. But a lot

0:18:08.119 --> 0:18:09.920
<v Speaker 4>of people are texting in at seven eighty five nine,

0:18:09.960 --> 0:18:12.439
<v Speaker 4>who's saying she didn't really want to go out with

0:18:12.480 --> 0:18:14.560
<v Speaker 4>him at all. She only did this to get revenge

0:18:14.600 --> 0:18:17.160
<v Speaker 4>and brag about making out with a scape room guy.

0:18:17.480 --> 0:18:19.199
<v Speaker 4>Which is that even a brag?

0:18:19.359 --> 0:18:20.119
<v Speaker 2>I don't know.

0:18:20.320 --> 0:18:21.520
<v Speaker 4>I think it makes her look.

0:18:21.440 --> 0:18:21.880
<v Speaker 5>Kind of bad.

0:18:22.480 --> 0:18:25.119
<v Speaker 4>I've made out with plenty of Escape Room employees, and

0:18:25.240 --> 0:18:26.800
<v Speaker 4>usually they aren't lookers.

0:18:26.960 --> 0:18:29.359
<v Speaker 2>Oh that was kind of an insult.

0:18:29.359 --> 0:18:32.080
<v Speaker 4>Now there's a reason they choose to work in dimly

0:18:32.160 --> 0:18:32.800
<v Speaker 4>lit basements.

0:18:33.960 --> 0:18:36.439
<v Speaker 1>The front desk is very lip usually not in an

0:18:36.480 --> 0:18:37.400
<v Speaker 1>actual basement.

0:18:37.480 --> 0:18:39.440
<v Speaker 2>Jeff, who's basement? Where are you going?

0:18:39.520 --> 0:18:41.879
<v Speaker 4>He's a room? Wait, I meet him on Craigslist and

0:18:41.960 --> 0:18:43.879
<v Speaker 4>they say I have an escape room, because that's not

0:18:43.880 --> 0:18:45.600
<v Speaker 4>how it works. Go to people's houses.

0:18:45.680 --> 0:18:47.919
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you got to figure it out. Keep doing that.

0:18:48.000 --> 0:18:50.640
<v Speaker 4>I'm doing it right. And if you enjoy basement stuff,

0:18:50.760 --> 0:18:53.800
<v Speaker 4>you could check out The Basement of Entertainment, which is

0:18:53.880 --> 0:18:56.640
