1
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:08,119
Speaker 1: Hey, this is Annie and Samantha. Look to Stephane. Never

2
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:20,720
Speaker 1: told your protection of iHeart radio. So recently, Samantha and

3
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:25,240
Speaker 1: I had a very long conversation. I had a lot

4
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 1: of like things I needed to say. I was on

5
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 1: my little you know, tirade, and I needed to let

6
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 1: them out. I'm sorry, but when it comes into taking responsibility, men,

7
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:40,919
Speaker 1: why yes, yes, that was so we're This is our

8
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,240
Speaker 1: part two of a two parter, an accidental two parter,

9
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:48,280
Speaker 1: as they sometimes happened, where we were talking about dating

10
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 1: today and this was inspired by a conversation I had

11
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 1: with a group of friends. I was hanging out women

12
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 1: and they were telling me about their bad dating stories

13
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 1: and I was just like kind of horrified. To be honest,

14
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 1: that that is what dating is. But the original intent

15
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:07,320
Speaker 1: was we were going to share funny, our own funny

16
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 1: dating stories, which we we are going to in this episode,

17
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 1: even though we both have our own terrible, bad dating stories.

18
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 1: But it's just hard. You can't separate that out. You

19
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:21,319
Speaker 1: can't separate the reality that a lot of us are

20
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 1: facing as women when we date and a lot of

21
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:31,040
Speaker 1: these things that it's to me outrageous and an absolute

22
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 1: crime that this is what dating means right now, that

23
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:37,119
Speaker 1: you might experience some of the things people are telling

24
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 1: me that they experience, and that's just part of dating. Right.

25
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: By the way, did I tell you that the new

26
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 1: thing is having voice messages on your profiles and dating sites? Oh? No,

27
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 1: I feel like that's terrifying. I'm very yeah, I'm very

28
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 1: torried about that because I feel like I get the intent,

29
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 1: but also that own's awful, right, I'm honestly wondering. Oh

30
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: and I didn't even tell you this part. And I

31
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 1: know we even talk about experiences and I never really

32
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 1: did it. At one point in time, I almost joined

33
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 1: a dating club, and I need to know if people

34
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,920
Speaker 1: did this, a dating social club where you all do

35
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,639
Speaker 1: activities together and match up, so it could be I

36
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 1: think one of them was like white Water Rafting, but

37
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: you pay a hundred and fifty dollars to join the

38
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 1: social club. And of course I'm not even talking about Ray,

39
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 1: a dating site, which is a private membership based for

40
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 1: really like high up there. So I believe celebrities are

41
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 1: on the yeah, and the waiting list to get on

42
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 1: there is like years long, years long, years long. Anyway,

43
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 1: But all of that to say is I tried this

44
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 1: one social club and I went and sat down with

45
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: an agent. There's an agent and they had their own

46
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: office and had this whole interview with them, and I

47
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,519
Speaker 1: was like, I cannot on. And I was a social worker.

48
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 1: I cannot afford a hundreds of dollars a month to

49
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 1: do activities. And it's supposed to include all the activities

50
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 1: like I think you do to a month or something.

51
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 1: But I'm like, I can't. I can't do this. But

52
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 1: do they still exist? Has anyone tried these? I need

53
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:18,639
Speaker 1: to know? Yes, please, listeners, I want to know about that.

54
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 1: I've never heard about that, and I want to know

55
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 1: all about that. Yeah, And I was gonna make you

56
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 1: do a speed dating thing once. I still want to

57
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 1: do that. I'm gonna make you do this just to

58
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 1: just do it. I would do it. I think I

59
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 1: would be incredibly awkward and uncomfortable, but I would do

60
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 1: both of us. Yes, yes, Well that's kind of what

61
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 1: we're talking about in this episode, because we are focusing

62
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 1: on sort of those incredibly awkward, uncomfortable dates. And I

63
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 1: do I really do want to hear from listeners because

64
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 1: most Antha and I have plenty of bad stories that

65
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 1: are just truly awful, but kind of funnier bad dates

66
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 1: that we've been on. So I'll start. I once went

67
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 1: on an accidental date with a guy to the dining

68
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 1: hall at Georgia Tech, which is the college I went to,

69
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 1: and he didn't have any money, so he had to

70
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 1: use my buzz card to pay for terrible dining hall food,

71
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 1: and he accidentally spilled his his dish all over my

72
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 1: white shirt. Beautiful. I My actual first online date experience

73
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:30,040
Speaker 1: happened when I was four. I went through this entire

74
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 1: thing and finally got the confidence to go out on

75
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 1: this date with a dude. And I believe it was

76
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 1: on match dot Com and I did pay for it,

77
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 1: if I remember correctly. Also, by the way, have you

78
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 1: all been watching these commercials for match dot com and

79
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:46,919
Speaker 1: e Harmony y'all? It's serious? Is getting serious out there anyway?

80
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 1: So I went on a date with the dude. I

81
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 1: was a vegetarian at the time. I had read Skinny Bitch.

82
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,039
Speaker 1: I don't know if you remember this book from way

83
00:04:55,040 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 1: back when. Essentially it was this book about vegetarianism where

84
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:02,480
Speaker 1: the women were just talking about, you know, the meat

85
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 1: industry and how ugly it can be. And trying these things.

86
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:07,719
Speaker 1: So I was like, you know what, yeah, let me,

87
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,600
Speaker 1: let me be a part of this. And I get it.

88
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:12,599
Speaker 1: So at that point in time, he and I had

89
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:16,039
Speaker 1: been talking online, building rapport finally decide to go on

90
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:20,280
Speaker 1: a date. Went to a suburb of Atlanta towards Cobb County.

91
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 1: I know you don't know where that is, but was suburb.

92
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:28,160
Speaker 1: And we went and met at uh like a fancy airthplace,

93
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 1: I think Maggiano's or something. That was petrified of going

94
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 1: on a date a with a man I never met,

95
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:40,159
Speaker 1: be in a location that I that wasn't where I lived. Um.

96
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 1: And then also, this is one of my first dates

97
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 1: ever ever point plate ever, So not only was I

98
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 1: really nervous, I was freaking out. So my roommate at

99
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:51,040
Speaker 1: the time decided, we decided that she and her boyfriend

100
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: at the time would would come to the restaurant and

101
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,839
Speaker 1: make sure I was okay, no Lie, We go and

102
00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 1: get seated do and I got set and immediately knew

103
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 1: he was disappointed. I immediately his face said it, and

104
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,359
Speaker 1: I was like, okay, cool. As I looked up, I

105
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 1: look up and see that my roommate and her boyfriend

106
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:14,600
Speaker 1: were seated right behind us, right behind us, able to

107
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 1: hear our entire conversation. Everything I could even hear say,

108
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 1: You've got to be kidding me. You've got to be

109
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:24,040
Speaker 1: kidding me. So two of these things are like, Oh

110
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 1: my god, what is happening in my life? And at

111
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 1: that time we were talking and he just sat there.

112
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 1: We ordered our food, and he orders of all things,

113
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 1: knowing that I'm a vegetarian, but not knowing why veal.

114
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 1: He orders one of the most politically incorrect meets ever

115
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:45,279
Speaker 1: to exist outside of for gra essentially Veal, and I

116
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,040
Speaker 1: just sat there and stared at him for a minute.

117
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 1: He's like, you know, I just like to order things

118
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 1: that I kicked myself so and he is going to

119
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 1: town on it. After we get done with our conversation,

120
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,839
Speaker 1: which I can't remember because it was that bland bland

121
00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 1: of land, we left and parted ways and never talked again.

122
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 1: But I was just like, what is this and why

123
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 1: have I done this? Yeah, that's a that's a power

124
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 1: play for sure. Oh my goodness. Okay, well, oh no.

125
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 1: I once went on a date with a guy to

126
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 1: the Olive Garden, also in the suburbs, and then he

127
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 1: proceeded to pour a drink on me to prove a point. Uh,

128
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 1: And then I asked for my pasta to be packaged

129
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 1: up and had to wait for him to finish so

130
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 1: he could drive me home because he was my ride.

131
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 1: I've had that as in fact, another date that I've

132
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 1: had after my experiences. He and I met up at

133
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 1: one of our local bar in Atlanta, and he's sitting

134
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 1: there with his computer, and I was like, oh, hey,

135
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 1: what's up. Nice to meet you, in which he proceeds

136
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 1: to tell me that he is an entrepreneur and that

137
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 1: he was getting ready for or he had just finished

138
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 1: one of those two things, a big pitch meeting because

139
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 1: people were really excited about his new program in which

140
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 1: he shows me and this program, Yes, so my date

141
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 1: turned into a presentation, y'all. Uh, turns his computer around

142
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 1: to show me that he has started this pitch in

143
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:35,079
Speaker 1: which he has created a network where you can select

144
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 1: up to six friends to sit and share messages and

145
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 1: get a group chat and all these things. And at

146
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 1: that time, by the way, was when was it the

147
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,440
Speaker 1: Google Circle? You'll have to remind me. At that point

148
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 1: in time, which is supposed to have your six friends

149
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 1: and all these things and it I had already been happening,

150
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 1: and I said, wait, is this like Google Circle? Like

151
00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 1: is it is that what this is? And he was

152
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:04,320
Speaker 1: not happy. It goes no, no, no, it's different because

153
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:06,440
Speaker 1: you don't have to use Google and it does this

154
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 1: is this, which essentially is what Google was, and I

155
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 1: was like, so Google Circle. He did not like that,

156
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 1: but he thought I was being funny. This is one

157
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 1: of those moments when dudes think women are just being

158
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:22,319
Speaker 1: funny to be cute and flirty, and I'm like, I'm

159
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 1: not being funny. I'm serious, and I'm calling out how

Speaker 1: this is fallible. This is not this is not gonna work, bro,

162
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:34,199
Speaker 1: I was like, you know what, that's interesting as he

163
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:37,200
Speaker 1: continued to explain to me why it was different because

164
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 1: he thought I was joking. And at that point, Sarah like,

165
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 1: the waiter comes and he goes, would you like another drink?

166
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 1: I'm like, no, I'm good. Can you go ahead and

Speaker 1: give me the and he's like, no, I have another

168
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 1: beer so cuts me off. After I didn't know, I'm good,

169
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 1: can we get So I had to wait and watch

170
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 1: him get a whole other beer. And when he proceeds

171
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 1: to split the check and we leave, he tries to

172
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 1: give me a hug and I was like, I'm good bye.

173
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:02,680
Speaker 1: And then he sends me pictures of some art he

174
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:04,559
Speaker 1: did that didn't make sense, and he was like, look

175
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:06,440
Speaker 1: I thought of you and did this and it was

176
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 1: just squiggly lines. Oh no, oh no, you're stirring some

177
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:20,199
Speaker 1: memories I forgot. Oh god, another another bad day is

178
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 1: going to mind. One time, this guy took me to

179
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 1: a pizza restaurant that's very near me, and I no joke.

180
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:32,960
Speaker 1: I think I said literally nothing on the entire date,

181
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 1: and he just proceeded to tell me all of his

182
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 1: thoughts and opinions about Game of Thrones. And then I

183
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:44,960
Speaker 1: was walking to my car like I was like goodbye.

184
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 1: I'm getting in my car. He's still talking to me

185
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:52,080
Speaker 1: about games. He's following to my car, He's still talking

186
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 1: about Game of Thrones. I'm like getting in and he's

187
00:10:54,559 --> 00:11:01,840
Speaker 1: like still going looking in the window, and I just said, away,

188
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 1: what has happened to me? Oh my god? And I

189
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 1: forgot my iconic first date ever at sixteen years old,

190
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 1: and it has nothing to do with online dating. He

191
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 1: was a friend of my brothers, and he and I

192
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 1: went on one date. It was fine, and that date

193
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 1: was going to church together. We went to church together.

194
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 1: Second date, I go with him, he goes to UH.

195
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 1: We ended up going to his house for some reason.

196
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 1: We didn't go in, but he had to go do

197
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 1: something in his house. This is in the day and

198
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:39,839
Speaker 1: age of CD players that get hooked up to your

199
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 1: truck or your car. He had a truck, um so

200
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 1: we had with because cassette tape. You know we're talking

201
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 1: about I'm talking about. So he had a CD playing

202
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 1: and at one point in time, I'm sitting in the corner.

203
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 1: We're just talking and again, cool, everything's cool. The CD

204
00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 1: starts skipping, as it sometimes does. He smacks it a

205
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 1: little bit. It like okay, cool, and it does it again.

206
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,080
Speaker 1: He smacks it a little harder, kind of screaming this time,

207
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 1: and I was like, okay, what's happening. And then it

208
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 1: proceeds to continue to skip. So he picks up d

209
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 1: CD player yes it's like a portable CD player, and

210
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 1: starts smashing it on his head, screaming about how nothing

211
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 1: works and just screaming and slams it down and then

212
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 1: I just sit there and stare at him, and he

213
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 1: continues on his conversation to the end of the day.

214
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,200
Speaker 1: We go home. I go home and I'm like, oh

215
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 1: my god, what just happened, in which he proceeds to

216
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 1: call me and I was like, you know what, I

217
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,439
Speaker 1: don't think this is gonna work, in which he starts

218
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 1: screaming about how he loves me and that how this

219
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 1: was we were meant to be and that Jesus had

220
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:44,080
Speaker 1: brought us together and that there's no one else for him.

221
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 1: And I said, you'll be fine. I promise. He's like, no,

222
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 1: I won't. I will never be okay this you, I

223
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:56,199
Speaker 1: will never be okay. Two days, y'all? Two days? Wow? No,

224
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 1: what I'm thinking about it? That might have been wide

225
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 1: and date till I was twenty four, Like this is

226
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:04,080
Speaker 1: all right if this is what it is, and I'm out.

227
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 1: I'm out. I have been proposed to for marriage twice.

228
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 1: I've been proposed to. I would have vomit did and

229
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 1: run away. I kind of did run away both times.

230
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:26,840
Speaker 1: So I had another date where I told the guy

231
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:30,440
Speaker 1: I was sick and he thought I was trying to

232
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 1: just get out of the date, but I was sick.

233
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 1: And then he was like, no, no, I don't believe

234
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 1: you were doing the date. I don't care if you're sick,

235
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 1: I'll get your germs. So I show up. I threw

236
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 1: up all over him when he tried to kiss me,

237
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:47,200
Speaker 1: like everywhere, and then he walked in on me in

238
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 1: the bathroom peeg because he was worried. Oh hell, yes,

239
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 1: I told him I was sick. I told him, and

240
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 1: then I was like, I'll be fine him. Good for you.

241
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 1: He deserved that, he did. He did. And then I

242
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 1: had a guy at one time. A guy was doing

243
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 1: what he called spider touches and he was just like

244
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 1: doing these like spider fingers on my back and then

245
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 1: I told him to stop. And then my shirt, my blast,

246
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 1: all the buttons popped off because of the way I

247
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 1: like stood abruptly. Luckily I had an undershirt on, but

248
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 1: I left in a fury. This seems like fiction. Like this,

249
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 1: though that sounds like fiction. What happened? I can't tell

250
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 1: if it's the beginning of porn or it was the

251
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 1: beginning of a Hulk series. I felt like I felt

252
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 1: like I was standing up for myself. To be honest,

253
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 1: I was. I was real mad get him. I like it.

254
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 1: I will say I have a few more stories, but

255
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 1: to be honest, they do go down the little darker road.

256
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 1: I will tell you I have been the bad day

257
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 1: before where I kind of just lose it and I

258
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 1: am so nervous that I can't stop talking, to the

259
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 1: point that the dude thought I was endearing though, but

260
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 1: in my mind, I'm like, this is going really bad.

261
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 1: I can't stop talking. Please make me stop talking. I've

262
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 1: been the bad date in terms of I didn't really

263
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 1: want to be on the date, and I probably should

264
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 1: have just said that, but I went along with it

265
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 1: because I was like, maybe, but I have definitely been

266
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 1: a not so nice date before where I'm just not interested.

267
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 1: Yeah you know what though, And I have just recently

268
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 1: discovered this term. I have been a victim of love bombing,

269
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 1: and I did not realize that that was a thing.

270
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 1: It felt very validated when I was like, oh, oh,

271
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 1: that's what happened. That was manipulative. How dare he? Yes? Yes,

272
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 1: and we want to come back into an episode on

273
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 1: that for sure. I also broke up with a guy

274
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 1: over tigers once because he thought tigers should not be protected.

275
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 1: He said, what did he want a tiger. No, he

276
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 1: said no, he said, because I was saying we got

277
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 1: to protect him from extinction. He was like, why, what's

278
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 1: how's it going to impact your life if you're gone?

279
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 1: I got really oranged. We broke up into Barnes and

280
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 1: Noble and I had to call my parents a campaign.

281
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 1: That's amazing. That's amazing, terrible Barnes and Noble. I feel

282
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 1: like that it is also the beginning of sitcom on

283
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 1: that one. Barnes a Noble is a very specific type

284
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 1: of people, type of when you were like, that was

285
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:06,679
Speaker 1: the place to go, Like you went to the bars

286
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 1: of Noble and you've got a coffee. I went there

287
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 1: to study, so I don't I guess I was a

288
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 1: real nerd oh No, we went there to hang out.

289
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 1: I also would go to Starbucks and places to watch

290
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:20,679
Speaker 1: other people go on dates. Yes, I do love that.

291
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry to be a peak or to those

292
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:26,359
Speaker 1: if they've ever noticed me. Sorry, we should talk about

293
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 1: that though. That kind of like borrism of watching somebody

294
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:32,680
Speaker 1: on a on a day. Oh, that was one of

295
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:35,959
Speaker 1: my favorite things. I'm so sorry. Once again, as a bartender,

296
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 1: it was one of my favorite things to watch. Yes,

297
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 1: I'm sure so good. Also, just want to throw in

298
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 1: honorable mention. One time I was on a date and

299
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:53,439
Speaker 1: the toilet was clogged and I did amazing things to

300
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 1: fix that toilet because I was worried he would think

301
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 1: it was me. And I've heard that story from multiple people,

302
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 1: so I think that is a common strong uh. And

303
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 1: then also also a lot of people that I asked

304
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 1: about this wrote in about other guys kind of like

305
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 1: being jerks and I guess like cheering when you left

306
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 1: the room or something like you were in the conquest. Yeah,

307
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 1: so basically like if they thought the guy had had
