20
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 2: good connection, good rapport. I honestly thought we would definitely

21
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 2: be having a second date. And I've been trying to

22
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 2: reach her and yeah, like I said, you know, she

23
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:05,000

Speaker 3: to play in the park and like do karate with

78
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:37,080

79
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 3: thought he was joking, But then I realized, no, he's

80
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 3: he's m He was serious, and I don't know he

81
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:48,880

109
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 2: I was looking for people, not necessarily with you, Emily.

110
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 1: Uh.

111
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,880

112
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 2: to go to the park and do karate. I you know,

113
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 2: if you don't like karate, orn into it. That's fine.

114
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,359

00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 2: Clay before.

120
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 1: Now I'm worried to make too much fun of this

121
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 1: man because he is a black belt. So I mean

122
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 1: that's more than I can say for myself. But I mean, Clay,

123
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 1: wouldn't you rather than go on a date with someone

124
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:56,839
Speaker 1: in time? We wouldn't you just go to a I

125
00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 1: mean a karate establishment and know sort of I don't know,

126
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 1: either spar with other people at your level or or

127
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 1: instruct or something. I mean, it sounds like you're legitimate.

128
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 1: Why are we going to the park to do.

129
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 3: Well?

130
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, there are lots of different clubs

131
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,840
Speaker 2: that that do this kind of stuff, especially where I

132
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 2: was from, Like there are people that do sword fighting,

133
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 2: you know, they go to parking.

134
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 1: I don't really don't understand what.

135
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 4: The big if I you know, if I tell someone, hey,

136
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 4: I'm gonna play Mortal Kombat with my buddies, you know

137
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,480
Speaker 4: on the PlayStation, that's not weird.

138
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 2: But all of a sudden it's weird that I say, oh,

139
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 2: I want to go, you know, spar fight or play

140
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 2: fight in the park.

141
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know what to do with this, Emily.

142
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:48,719
Speaker 1: So look, he wasn't saying he wanted to do that

143
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 1: with you necessarily, but in general he'd like to find

144
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 1: random people to go to the park. I mean, so

145
00:06:57,920 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 1: I guess you can go out with him if you

146
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,279
Speaker 1: want to, and you don't have to play fight with it.

147
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 3: I mean, to be quite honest, it's very clear we

148
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 3: don't have anything in common.

149
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 2: So I mean when we were talking, we have a

150
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 2: lot of stuff in common. We don't We don't have

151
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 2: to have all of the exact same hobbies. I'm sure

152
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 2: you do things that I wouldn't do with you.

153
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean there's a thing you could go on

154
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 1: Craigslist for stuff like this. I think, I mean you could.

155
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 1: I mean, there's there's gotta be a Facebook group for

156
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 1: something like this. I mean, I think there's a little.

157
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 3: Like ate.

158
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 1: Maybe don't write it like that, but I mean, I'm sorry,

159
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 1: this is I mean, I think I understand what you're

160
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 1: getting at is that you were sharing this is an

161
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 1: interest of yours and you just moved here and you're

162
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 1: looking for other like minded folks. I just think she

163
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 1: thinks it's weird that. I guess if I watched by

164
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 1: a park and I saw a bunch of random men

165
00:07:54,360 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 1: right beating each other up, I might tell in karate gear,

166
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 1: I might sort of wonder what I've stumbled upon. But

167
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 1: I mean, Clay, I hope that you find what you're

168
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 1: looking for. Emily. He doesn't want to do karate with you,

169
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 1: but he does want to hang out with you again.

170
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 1: Would you consider that in between sessions of the park

171
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 1: with random men.

172
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 5: No, I don't blame you, girl, I don't blame you.

173
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 1: Don't nobody want no man walking around.

174
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 2: Like what are you?

175
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 4: All right?

176
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 1: So what do you do?

177
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 3: So it's prefer to have men that are not in shape.

178
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 2: That stay home like video games all day and they

179
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 2: play with their friends online. That's socially acceptable. But this

180
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 2: is weird.

181
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 5: Okay, Yes, he says, over there, bro, if you want

182
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 5: to be John Wick, just say that.

183
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:54,079
Speaker 2: I do think we ain't got nothing on me.

184
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:01,560
Speaker 1: Hung play everybody? Hey man, look, I think there's a

185
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:05,000

186
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 1: Emily no interest in another date with with karate Clay. Now, okay,

189
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 1: you're looking for, and who knows, you know, maybe you'll

190

Speaker 1: you'll stumble upon a place where they do karate, do karate,

191
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 1: and then you can find a woman who also does karate,
