Speaker 3: I love that start. That's good, Richard, what do you

23
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 3: got Well?

24
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 2: A few years ago, I was at a place in

25
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:22,399
Speaker 2: my life where I was riding the bus to work

26
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 2: every day. O Oh, no, shame there.

27
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 3: No, it shouldn't be great for the environment, you know, great.

28
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 1: Place to break dance too, Yeah.

29
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 2: Absolutely, But I started noticing this really hot girl was

30
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 2: on my route. You know, we we'd make eye contact

31
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 2: across the bus. That was way too shy and nervous

32
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 2: back then, and just go off and start talking to those.

33
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 3: Girls when you always end up with the same people

34
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 3: on the bus when you commute, because it's like they

35
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 3: have the work schedule that's the same as yours. You're

36
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 3: on the same route. So lucky you, thank you. Yeah.

37
00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 2: This she was very, very lovely to look at. But

38
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 2: the first time we actually did speak, it was only

39
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 2: maybe for fifteen seconds or so. We were both getting

40
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:08,800
Speaker 2: off the bus at the same time, and I was

41
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 2: able to make some comment to her and get that

42
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 2: her name was Mia.

43
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:16,079
Speaker 3: Oh, okay, that's a good name. That's my sister's name.

44
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:20,079
Speaker 1: Hey, don't you hit on my sister. The least you

45
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 1: broke the ice there.

46
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was I was inching along, and but a

47
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 2: few weeks went by without seeing her, and I was

48
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 2: really bummed out, feeling like, oh great, I blew my chance.

49
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I was her name. I didn't say anything

50
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 2: more than that, right, I hope you.

51
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 1: Don't blame yourself, bro, you only had a fifteen second convo.

52
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 3: She got fired from her job. She's just like, yeah,

53
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 3: it's probably a circumstance.

54
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:42,079
Speaker 1: There was probably your fault she got fired, but yeah,

55
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 1: it's okay.

56
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,119
Speaker 2: Well, the gods were shining on me because one day

57
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 2: on my route, I do see her again on the

58
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 2: bus and there she is, and she's just sitting right

59
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 2: there and wanted to see it.

60
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 3: Oh my god, were you so nervous because you've been

61
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 3: like ruminating for weeks about how you blew it and

62
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 3: she's just on vacation. Yeah, but he's like, this is

63
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:02,239
Speaker 3: my moment.

64
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,239
Speaker 2: She's like, what Now that I had this opportunon, I

65
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 2: had to seize it. I know I'd regret it, but

66
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 2: there was a problem because there's this middle aged woman

67
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 2: sitting right next to her, and I.

68
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,080
Speaker 3: Get middle aged women is so scary.

69
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 2: I get it. Lady was blocking my path, but I

70
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 2: just I had to think of some way to get

71
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 2: rid of this lady.

72
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, actually blocking you in a weird way.

73
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,639
Speaker 1: Well, is she like sitting in the row with her

74
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 1: and like the girls by.

75
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 2: The window, she's like right next to hers. I had

76
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 2: to get up to my seat and I walk over

77
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 2: and I asked this lady, excuse me, ma'am, do you

78
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 2: mind if we maybe swap seats so I can sit

79
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 2: next to my sister sister?

80
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 3: Why would I say friends? Why would you go to sister?

81
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:50,839
Speaker 1: Friend? Would have been better? But like it's a way

82
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: to definitely get the woman to agree to move.

83
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 3: But sitting there so confused.

84
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 1: So maybe she knows that they're doing not the worst thing.

85
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 1: I don't think you can't.

86
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 2: Well the lady she gives me the strangest look. It's

87
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 2: like a horrible, awkward silence. And then this woman says,

88
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 2: this young lady is my daughter.

89
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 3: Oh sister, you don't remember me? Moll what you do?

90
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 3: Did you have to own updates to your movie?

91
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 2: I was mortified, but mea started laughing, so it's good

92
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 2: that she wasn't upset. She and she says, Mom, this

93
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 2: is Richard, we're bus friends. It was it was really,

94
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,600
Speaker 2: really embarrassing. I apologized over and over and over again.

95
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,160
Speaker 2: I was mortified, so I walked back.

96
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 3: So did you get bus friend zoned or to ever

97
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 3: get a date?

98
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 2: Well, for the rest of that ride, I was friends.

99
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 2: I mean when we got off at the stop, NA

100
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 2: was waiting on the sidewalk and she handed me a

101
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 2: piece of paper with her number on it.

102
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: You you deserve that, you earned that.

103
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, so did you go out?

104
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 2: We did go on a few dates after that, which

105
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 2: was great, but it eventually fizzled out.

106
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:18,359
Speaker 1: You kept calling her. Mom was like, seriously, you're dating

107
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 1: that guy.

108
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 3: But I'm glad that I did.

109
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 2: I'm glad that I didn't just let it go by,

110
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 2: and I'm glad that we did if it didn't work out.

111
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,600
Speaker 3: Effort, you know, and you got a great story out

112
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:34,840
Speaker 3: of it.

113
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 1: That's really funny. Thank you, you're not laughing, but I mean,

114
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 1: sibling dating. That's definitely not the worst thing to ever

115
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: happen on a city bus. So that's probably refreshing story

116
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:49,480
Speaker 1: for public transportation. What metal do we give him?

117
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 3: Good point? I mean, he got a date out of it,

118
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:55,359
Speaker 3: So I don't even know if he's on the podium,

119
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 3: to be honest, but it's like ce Cringey.

120
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 1: Oh, it's going to give him, you know, at least bronze.

123
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:08,599

Speaker 2: Yea yeah, I'm glad that I meddled at all, though
