<v Speaker 4>Yeah, Eric's Vinyl said, Ever since I discovered y'all over

0:00:22.760 --> 0:00:25.439
<v Speaker 4>a year ago, I can't get anything done in terms

0:00:25.480 --> 0:00:28.800
<v Speaker 4>of testing records for my record store. I'm constantly torn

0:00:28.840 --> 0:00:31.400
<v Speaker 4>between having to listen to these albums and listening to

0:00:31.440 --> 0:00:32.800
<v Speaker 4>you guys so cool.

0:00:33.479 --> 0:00:40.080
<v Speaker 1>We're cooler than a record. I like that. I was

0:00:40.120 --> 0:00:41.160
<v Speaker 1>excited about it.

0:00:41.360 --> 0:00:43.040
<v Speaker 5>We should make a Brook and Jeffrey record that.

0:00:43.680 --> 0:00:46.720
<v Speaker 1>Brook and Jeffrey on vinyl. Oh yeah, yeah, I'm not

0:00:46.840 --> 0:00:47.599
<v Speaker 1>opposed to it.

0:00:47.720 --> 0:00:49.240
<v Speaker 4>I mean it's trendy again.

0:00:49.320 --> 0:00:53.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, maybe cassette tapes. We'll go to them to tapes.

0:00:54.440 --> 0:00:57.560

0:00:57.560 --> 0:00:59.960
<v Speaker 2>at Brook and Jeffrey and your brand new Awkward Thursday

0:01:00.120 --> 0:01:03.040
<v Speaker 2>episode starting right now.

0:01:03.080 --> 0:01:05.840
<v Speaker 6>Just think of all the precious time and energy that

0:01:05.920 --> 0:01:10.120
<v Speaker 6>you waste at the start of dating someone new. Oh yeah,

0:01:10.440 --> 0:01:14.640
<v Speaker 6>the hours of over analyzing every text, the deep dives

0:01:14.640 --> 0:01:17.640
<v Speaker 6>into their social media wondering do they like me?

0:01:18.000 --> 0:01:18.800
<v Speaker 5>Do I like them?

0:01:19.040 --> 0:01:20.959
<v Speaker 6>Is it weird to kiss them now? Or should I

0:01:20.959 --> 0:01:25.800
<v Speaker 6>wait till after her parents leave? There's so much confusion

0:01:25.840 --> 0:01:28.200
<v Speaker 6>and headache. But what if there was a way to

0:01:28.200 --> 0:01:32.039
<v Speaker 6>skip all the awkward parts of early dating. Because one

0:01:32.080 --> 0:01:35.200
<v Speaker 6>of our listeners says he found a revolutionary new way

0:01:35.240 --> 0:01:38.800
<v Speaker 6>to handle a brand new love interest that jumps right

0:01:38.880 --> 0:01:42.679
<v Speaker 6>to the good stuff, and he's about to pitch his

0:01:42.800 --> 0:01:46.720
<v Speaker 6>strategy while we try to help make it happen. Okay,

0:01:46.880 --> 0:01:49.640
<v Speaker 6>it's coming up in a brand new awkward Thursday phone

0:01:49.680 --> 0:01:50.880
<v Speaker 6>call right after.

0:01:50.680 --> 0:01:56.520
<v Speaker 5>This It's awkward, It's Thursday. It's awkward Thursday phone call.

0:01:57.400 --> 0:01:59.920
<v Speaker 6>I know everybody seems to complain about the state of

0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:06.160
<v Speaker 6>modern dating, that it's two competitive standards are unrealistic. Alexis's

0:02:06.200 --> 0:02:09.960
<v Speaker 6>mom is getting all the matches, leaving nothing for anyone else,

0:02:10.080 --> 0:02:15.880
<v Speaker 6>including her, so it's definitely bleak, and what's a person

0:02:15.919 --> 0:02:16.240
<v Speaker 6>to do.

0:02:16.800 --> 0:02:17.040
<v Speaker 5>Well.

0:02:17.240 --> 0:02:19.800
<v Speaker 6>We have a listener named Scott who's identified a person

0:02:19.840 --> 0:02:23.320
<v Speaker 6>of interest for himself. Okay, but as a different idea

0:02:23.360 --> 0:02:26.240
<v Speaker 6>on how the whole dating thing should work.

0:02:26.680 --> 0:02:28.680
<v Speaker 5>In his mind didn't go into a.

0:02:28.680 --> 0:02:30.520
<v Speaker 6>Lot of detail in his email about it, but I'm

0:02:30.520 --> 0:02:33.480
<v Speaker 6>interested to talk to him and hopefully help him with it.

0:02:33.720 --> 0:02:35.200
<v Speaker 5>So Scott, welcome to the show man.

0:02:35.800 --> 0:02:36.920
<v Speaker 7>Hey, how you guys doing.

0:02:37.160 --> 0:02:39.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm so curious this person of interest.

0:02:39.280 --> 0:02:41.959
<v Speaker 2>Is it someone you know in life or is it

0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:43.440
<v Speaker 2>someone you found online?

0:02:43.880 --> 0:02:46.680
<v Speaker 7>Irl in real life? And yes, she's great.

0:02:47.080 --> 0:02:50.960
<v Speaker 6>Okay, all right, we'll get to the new way that

0:02:51.040 --> 0:02:53.560
<v Speaker 6>you think dating should work in just a second, But

0:02:53.680 --> 0:02:54.640
<v Speaker 6>let's start with the girl.

0:02:54.919 --> 0:02:56.280
<v Speaker 5>Who is she tell us about her?

0:02:57.280 --> 0:03:00.560
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, her name is Nicole, She's awesome. Met in a

0:03:00.760 --> 0:03:04.240
<v Speaker 7>like a running club. Yeah, I go to this running

0:03:04.240 --> 0:03:06.600
<v Speaker 7>club on Saturday mornings, and so I brought my dog

0:03:06.720 --> 0:03:09.160
<v Speaker 7>and it was the first time that I ever noticed Nicole.

0:03:09.520 --> 0:03:12.520
<v Speaker 7>But she came up to the dog. If Sally is her.

0:03:12.440 --> 0:03:13.800
<v Speaker 1>Name, Sally's the dogs.

0:03:15.040 --> 0:03:18.080
<v Speaker 7>The dog's name is Sally. Nicole is the actual human

0:03:18.120 --> 0:03:21.399
<v Speaker 7>being and she doesn't have a dog, and so we

0:03:21.600 --> 0:03:22.680
<v Speaker 7>kind of hit it off.

0:03:23.000 --> 0:03:25.320
<v Speaker 2>It's weird that we're doing this in an awkward Thursday

0:03:25.320 --> 0:03:27.040
<v Speaker 2>and not just doing a second date update.

0:03:27.160 --> 0:03:29.639
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, yeah, well, I mean I haven't had a date

0:03:29.680 --> 0:03:30.160
<v Speaker 7>with her yet.

0:03:31.480 --> 0:03:32.720
<v Speaker 1>That hasn't stopped other people.

0:03:33.120 --> 0:03:35.840
<v Speaker 5>Yes, well, what's holding you back from going out on

0:03:35.880 --> 0:03:36.160
<v Speaker 5>the date?

0:03:36.320 --> 0:03:40.040
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, well, I mean, first off, we haven't had any

0:03:40.080 --> 0:03:42.720
<v Speaker 7>time to schedule anything yet. We're both really busy, okay,

0:03:43.080 --> 0:03:45.960
<v Speaker 7>and so we talked over the phone like three to

0:03:46.000 --> 0:03:46.600
<v Speaker 7>four times.

0:03:46.600 --> 0:03:47.920
<v Speaker 8>Though, oh my.

0:03:47.880 --> 0:03:50.320
<v Speaker 9>God, okay, how long do you talk for that's important?

0:03:51.040 --> 0:03:51.880
<v Speaker 7>Like an hour or so?

0:03:52.040 --> 0:03:52.880
<v Speaker 9>Wow?

0:03:54.000 --> 0:03:55.880
<v Speaker 1>Panic right now, it couldn't be me.

0:03:56.160 --> 0:03:59.520
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, it's really really great, Like we don't want to

0:03:59.560 --> 0:04:00.320
<v Speaker 7>hang up and.

0:04:00.360 --> 0:04:01.560
<v Speaker 1>Oh that's cute.

0:04:01.680 --> 0:04:02.360
<v Speaker 5>That's a good sign.

0:04:02.560 --> 0:04:04.520
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I feel like this is a good start

0:04:04.640 --> 0:04:07.120
<v Speaker 2>to a relationship, and it would be natural for you

0:04:07.200 --> 0:04:08.320
<v Speaker 2>to just ask her.

0:04:08.200 --> 0:04:09.120
<v Speaker 1>Out at this point.

0:04:09.240 --> 0:04:11.640
<v Speaker 7>I mean I have asked her out and she said yes,

0:04:11.680 --> 0:04:13.080
<v Speaker 7>we just haven't had the time yet.

0:04:13.240 --> 0:04:13.600
<v Speaker 1>Okay.

0:04:13.800 --> 0:04:15.200
<v Speaker 7>Well, like I kind of want to do it a

0:04:15.240 --> 0:04:17.640
<v Speaker 7>little differently though, I want to frame it in a way,

0:04:18.440 --> 0:04:20.480
<v Speaker 7>and I don't know how to approach that.

0:04:20.800 --> 0:04:24.200
<v Speaker 1>You want to do the date itself differently kind.

0:04:23.920 --> 0:04:27.200
<v Speaker 7>Of, okay, Like we've talked on the phone three or

0:04:27.240 --> 0:04:29.480
<v Speaker 7>four times. I saw in person and we.

0:04:29.600 --> 0:04:30.159
<v Speaker 8>Like each other.

0:04:30.240 --> 0:04:32.440
<v Speaker 7>So when I when I see her in person, I

0:04:32.520 --> 0:04:33.680
<v Speaker 7>kind of want to picture something.

0:04:33.960 --> 0:04:36.520
<v Speaker 6>Okay, on your date, And this is what ties into

0:04:36.720 --> 0:04:38.479
<v Speaker 6>what you said in your email that you have a

0:04:38.480 --> 0:04:42.680
<v Speaker 6>different idea for how the dating process should work exactly.

0:04:43.040 --> 0:04:45.359
<v Speaker 7>I have a friend who's tried something before and he

0:04:45.400 --> 0:04:48.560
<v Speaker 7>said it works great. He says, it's called a trial

0:04:48.640 --> 0:04:50.039
<v Speaker 7>relationship mode.

0:04:50.400 --> 0:04:51.680
<v Speaker 5>Trial relationship.

0:04:53.320 --> 0:04:55.240
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, So you like, you go on a date with

0:04:55.279 --> 0:04:57.680
<v Speaker 7>somebody and you don't hear from them. That sucks, right,

0:04:58.240 --> 0:05:00.840
<v Speaker 7>Or you go on a date with someone and you

0:05:00.839 --> 0:05:03.039
<v Speaker 7>don't know if they're hooking up with someone else, that

0:05:03.240 --> 0:05:03.800
<v Speaker 7>sucks too.

0:05:03.960 --> 0:05:05.800
<v Speaker 5>Okay, that's how normal dating works.

0:05:06.240 --> 0:05:09.000
<v Speaker 7>Right, right, But in a trial relationship mode, if you

0:05:09.040 --> 0:05:11.680
<v Speaker 7>think that you have a good thing going, you can

0:05:11.760 --> 0:05:14.520
<v Speaker 7>try it out for thirty days. I can try out

0:05:14.560 --> 0:05:16.440
<v Speaker 7>the relationship for thirty days.

0:05:16.160 --> 0:05:19.560
<v Speaker 9>Like just focusing on each other, going on other dates kind.

0:05:19.400 --> 0:05:21.960
<v Speaker 7>Of thing, right, So, like I don't have to go

0:05:22.000 --> 0:05:24.440
<v Speaker 7>on multiple dates with other people. No, I can just

0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:25.520
<v Speaker 7>focus on Nicole.

0:05:26.960 --> 0:05:29.800
<v Speaker 6>So you're trying to get her to subscribe for a

0:05:29.839 --> 0:05:32.080
<v Speaker 6>thirty day period to just dating you.

0:05:32.120 --> 0:05:34.760
<v Speaker 1>Alone exclusive membership, Yes, yes.

0:05:34.720 --> 0:05:38.919
<v Speaker 5>And if she can re up the subscription.

0:05:38.960 --> 0:05:42.320
<v Speaker 1>If she forgets about the subscription, and then there's.

0:05:42.160 --> 0:05:44.320
<v Speaker 3>Her auto charging is just one of those things where

0:05:44.320 --> 0:05:45.560
<v Speaker 3>you'll save money if you just commit to.

0:05:45.520 --> 0:05:46.000
<v Speaker 9>The whole year.

0:05:46.120 --> 0:05:50.039
<v Speaker 5>Yeah. Probably so that's what you're thinking.

0:05:50.320 --> 0:05:52.200
<v Speaker 7>I mean, yeah, when you put it that way, it's

0:05:52.279 --> 0:05:55.440
<v Speaker 7>kind of weird. I don't want to waste my time

0:05:55.560 --> 0:05:57.360
<v Speaker 7>if I like her. I like her and I want

0:05:57.400 --> 0:05:59.000
<v Speaker 7>to see if it works. We've had so many, so

0:05:59.440 --> 0:06:02.599
<v Speaker 7>many hours the conversation here that it just feels like

0:06:02.640 --> 0:06:04.520
<v Speaker 7>the natural step. But I don't know how to frame

0:06:04.560 --> 0:06:05.080
<v Speaker 7>it properly.

0:06:05.120 --> 0:06:08.200
<v Speaker 6>I mean, it's definitely unique. I haven't heard that before.

0:06:08.240 --> 0:06:10.719
<v Speaker 6>But I'm curious to ask everyone in the room if

0:06:10.760 --> 0:06:13.800
<v Speaker 6>this idea was pitched to you by someone you were

0:06:13.839 --> 0:06:16.200
<v Speaker 6>interested in, you want to do a thirty day trial,

0:06:16.320 --> 0:06:17.760
<v Speaker 6>SESSH would you be open to it?

0:06:17.839 --> 0:06:18.640
<v Speaker 9>If I really liked him?

0:06:18.839 --> 0:06:20.760
<v Speaker 4>That's a month, so you barely google them three days

0:06:20.760 --> 0:06:22.200
<v Speaker 4>in a month anyways, Probably.

0:06:21.880 --> 0:06:24.599
<v Speaker 6>With the H if you remember you've only met him once,

0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:26.080
<v Speaker 6>you talk to him on the phone a couple of

0:06:26.080 --> 0:06:27.039
<v Speaker 6>times and that's gone okay.

0:06:27.080 --> 0:06:28.720
<v Speaker 4>Well, does she have to agree to hang out him

0:06:28.760 --> 0:06:31.320
<v Speaker 4>like every day this month or it's just like they

0:06:31.360 --> 0:06:32.400
<v Speaker 4>don't hang out four times.

0:06:32.600 --> 0:06:35.359
<v Speaker 7>Look, there's no kind of set rules. If it meshes

0:06:35.400 --> 0:06:36.680
<v Speaker 7>well in mesh as well, it.

0:06:37.240 --> 0:06:38.920
<v Speaker 3>Does I feel like you should tie out for thirty

0:06:38.960 --> 0:06:40.200
<v Speaker 3>days or you don't mess anything up.

0:06:40.960 --> 0:06:42.760
<v Speaker 6>But I do feel like there should be a consequence

0:06:42.800 --> 0:06:44.880
<v Speaker 6>if she breaks her contract to the thirty days, there

0:06:44.880 --> 0:06:45.600
<v Speaker 6>should be a penalty.

0:06:45.800 --> 0:06:48.640
<v Speaker 1>Okay, that makes it weird. That makes it weird.

0:06:49.000 --> 0:06:51.960
<v Speaker 2>Well, then he just wants to be a thirty day boyfriend, right, Yeah,

0:06:52.200 --> 0:06:53.360
<v Speaker 2>that's what we're working.

0:06:53.120 --> 0:06:53.680
<v Speaker 1>With right here.

0:06:53.760 --> 0:06:56.000
<v Speaker 6>Okay, And how do you pitch that to Nicole so

0:06:56.080 --> 0:06:57.359
<v Speaker 6>that she's open to the idea.

0:06:57.920 --> 0:06:58.839
<v Speaker 9>That's what we're doing today.

0:06:58.960 --> 0:07:00.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean, here's the thing.

0:07:00.279 --> 0:07:04.200
<v Speaker 2>You also don't want to make it sound so clinical, yeah, because.

0:07:04.200 --> 0:07:06.240
<v Speaker 9>It doesn't sound like the flirty hard to get staged.

0:07:06.480 --> 0:07:08.920
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, but I think there's a difference between what you're

0:07:08.960 --> 0:07:12.440
<v Speaker 7>talking about and simply commitment uncertainty.

0:07:12.840 --> 0:07:13.160
<v Speaker 10>Okay.

0:07:13.280 --> 0:07:15.440
<v Speaker 1>I mean I don't disagree with you.

0:07:15.520 --> 0:07:17.200
<v Speaker 2>I'm just saying that I feel like you want to

0:07:17.240 --> 0:07:19.160
<v Speaker 2>make sure that she still knows she's going to get

0:07:19.200 --> 0:07:20.760
<v Speaker 2>the fun part, right.

0:07:21.200 --> 0:07:24.160
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, agreed, agreed, Okay, put that in the contract when

0:07:24.200 --> 0:07:25.120
<v Speaker 6>she signs.

0:07:24.760 --> 0:07:27.400
<v Speaker 2>It, must have fun once a week.

0:07:28.360 --> 0:07:29.960
<v Speaker 5>We'll lay up the guidelines for her.

0:07:30.080 --> 0:07:33.440
<v Speaker 9>I've never heard of this before, Like, are you worried?

0:07:33.480 --> 0:07:34.400
<v Speaker 9>Are you with me here?

0:07:34.440 --> 0:07:36.680
<v Speaker 3>If she's like, oh no, I'm more committed to another

0:07:36.760 --> 0:07:37.680
<v Speaker 3>guy or something.

0:07:37.440 --> 0:07:40.040
<v Speaker 7>Already not at all, because then I'll get to know

0:07:40.080 --> 0:07:40.960
<v Speaker 7>all this stuff early.

0:07:41.160 --> 0:07:43.000
<v Speaker 9>Okay, mature, I don't know what that's like.

0:07:45.240 --> 0:07:46.000
<v Speaker 5>Let's try it.

0:07:46.080 --> 0:07:48.320
<v Speaker 6>We'll have some advice for you when we come back

0:07:48.360 --> 0:07:50.400
<v Speaker 6>and get you your thirty day girlfriend.

0:07:50.640 --> 0:07:55.440
<v Speaker 2>Wow, it's really weird, sounds like a TLC show, but.

0:07:55.480 --> 0:07:58.680
<v Speaker 6>It's perfect for your awkward Thursday phone call right after this.

0:07:58.720 --> 0:08:05.120
<v Speaker 5>Hold on, it's awkward. It's Thursday. It's awkward Thursday phone call.

0:08:05.880 --> 0:08:09.320
<v Speaker 6>We've been talking to Scott about his new idea for dating.

0:08:10.240 --> 0:08:13.080
<v Speaker 6>It's very interesting, something we've never really heard of before,

0:08:13.320 --> 0:08:18.360
<v Speaker 6>called trial relationship mode. Instead of taking it just one

0:08:18.440 --> 0:08:21.239
<v Speaker 6>date at a time while also going out with multiple

0:08:21.280 --> 0:08:24.600
<v Speaker 6>other people, engaging your interests with them, just cut out

0:08:24.640 --> 0:08:27.680
<v Speaker 6>all the clutter and all the confusion and lock them

0:08:27.680 --> 0:08:31.080
<v Speaker 6>into a thirty day trial relationship where you agree to

0:08:31.120 --> 0:08:34.440
<v Speaker 6>focus solely on each other for one full month, and

0:08:34.480 --> 0:08:36.640
<v Speaker 6>then if that goes well, just re up. Keep the

0:08:36.679 --> 0:08:40.559
<v Speaker 6>subscription going though, because that's part of the trial is Yeah.

0:08:40.760 --> 0:08:41.520
<v Speaker 5>Okay, sign up?

0:08:41.960 --> 0:08:42.600
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, thank you.

0:08:42.720 --> 0:08:45.000
<v Speaker 6>So Scott wants to pitch this idea to a woman

0:08:45.120 --> 0:08:47.959
<v Speaker 6>he met recently named Nicole. They haven't even been out

0:08:48.000 --> 0:08:50.560
<v Speaker 6>on a first date. Yet they've just talked over the

0:08:50.559 --> 0:08:53.079
<v Speaker 6>phone and had a pretty good connection. But it is

0:08:53.160 --> 0:08:55.240
<v Speaker 6>kind of a big leap to go from zero dates

0:08:55.280 --> 0:08:58.160
<v Speaker 6>to where instant boyfriend girlfriend for a month? So how

0:08:58.200 --> 0:08:59.760
<v Speaker 6>do we get Nicole to be open to that?

0:09:00.800 --> 0:09:02.960
<v Speaker 5>This should be easy? Well, what's your advice?

0:09:03.240 --> 0:09:05.240
<v Speaker 2>I actually kind of like this idea because I think

0:09:05.280 --> 0:09:07.480
<v Speaker 2>that there's just too many options out there for people

0:09:07.559 --> 0:09:09.400
<v Speaker 2>right now, and it just lets you focus. It's a

0:09:09.440 --> 0:09:12.160
<v Speaker 2>good idea, but it can come across, like we talked

0:09:12.160 --> 0:09:15.480
<v Speaker 2>about a little clinical, So I think that my advice

0:09:15.600 --> 0:09:19.640
<v Speaker 2>is just all about your delivery. You need to keep

0:09:19.679 --> 0:09:22.520
<v Speaker 2>the romance alive and keep it sexy, right, you got

0:09:22.520 --> 0:09:25.319
<v Speaker 2>a sexy voice, sexy, you got a sexy voice over there?

0:09:25.480 --> 0:09:28.000
<v Speaker 5>Try will you be my girlfriend in a sexy voice?

0:09:28.040 --> 0:09:28.439
<v Speaker 5>Go for it?

0:09:30.800 --> 0:09:31.400
<v Speaker 9>Come on?

0:09:32.880 --> 0:09:34.520
<v Speaker 8>I mean, like, do we want something.

0:09:34.280 --> 0:09:35.640
<v Speaker 1>Like this that's not bad?

0:09:36.080 --> 0:09:39.640
<v Speaker 7>We're like a little low, a little gravelly better.

0:09:40.000 --> 0:09:42.120
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I think that works.

0:09:41.520 --> 0:09:46.480
<v Speaker 6>Alexis turned on right extremely, So whatever you're doing, it's

0:09:46.480 --> 0:09:47.280
<v Speaker 6>clearly working.

0:09:47.480 --> 0:09:49.880
<v Speaker 8>I don't know they don't do that.

0:09:50.720 --> 0:09:53.960
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, yeah, keep it in the lower volumes.

0:09:53.960 --> 0:09:55.280
<v Speaker 5>But Jose, what's your advice?

0:09:55.440 --> 0:09:58.320
<v Speaker 3>Well, this is like such a unique idea, So I

0:09:58.360 --> 0:10:01.360
<v Speaker 3>think you need to highlight the positive of it, skipping

0:10:01.440 --> 0:10:03.880
<v Speaker 3>the awkward stuff that would usually come up when you

0:10:03.920 --> 0:10:04.960
<v Speaker 3>start dating someone.

0:10:05.880 --> 0:10:06.080
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

0:10:06.120 --> 0:10:08.480
<v Speaker 6>Now we're jumping straight into like being like cozy and

0:10:08.520 --> 0:10:11.439
<v Speaker 6>comfortable with each other, then awkward and weird around each other.

0:10:11.640 --> 0:10:11.880
<v Speaker 7>Yeah.

0:10:11.920 --> 0:10:13.760
<v Speaker 1>And I'm sure if you say it, it becomes reality.

0:10:13.960 --> 0:10:16.880
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, it's called manifesting.

0:10:17.679 --> 0:10:19.600
<v Speaker 9>Is manifesting? Jeff?

0:10:19.640 --> 0:10:20.560
<v Speaker 5>What do you think about that?

0:10:20.600 --> 0:10:23.080
<v Speaker 7>Stop you? Yeah? High like the positives.

0:10:23.160 --> 0:10:24.040
<v Speaker 8>That makes sense to me.

0:10:24.400 --> 0:10:26.000
<v Speaker 1>In a sexy voice?

0:10:25.920 --> 0:10:28.640
<v Speaker 7>Yes right, I mean in a in a sexy voice.

0:10:28.760 --> 0:10:29.320
<v Speaker 5>There you go.

0:10:29.440 --> 0:10:31.080
<v Speaker 9>We don't got to go on any day's girl.

0:10:31.120 --> 0:10:33.480
<v Speaker 5>All right, he's locked into his voice right now. I

0:10:33.480 --> 0:10:34.760
<v Speaker 5>don't want to get him off his game.

0:10:34.800 --> 0:10:37.120
<v Speaker 6>So let's die on the call and we will step

0:10:37.120 --> 0:10:39.680
<v Speaker 6>away and let you make your awkward Thursday phone call

0:10:40.280 --> 0:10:43.040
<v Speaker 6>and then leave here in a relationship for the next

0:10:43.080 --> 0:10:44.040
<v Speaker 6>thirty days.

0:10:44.160 --> 0:10:46.240
<v Speaker 9>All wait, if we're on the phone, we don't need.

0:10:46.160 --> 0:10:47.120
<v Speaker 1>Your sexy voice.

0:10:47.280 --> 0:10:47.439
<v Speaker 7>Now.

0:10:47.480 --> 0:10:49.959
<v Speaker 5>I'm kind of having fun with it and I want

0:10:50.000 --> 0:10:52.880
<v Speaker 5>to play along. But okay, at the energy, I'm step away, Scott.

0:10:53.200 --> 0:10:55.120
<v Speaker 5>Good luck you got this man? Here we go.

0:11:02.240 --> 0:11:06.080
<v Speaker 7>Hello, Hey, Nicole, how you doing.

0:11:08.160 --> 0:11:08.640
<v Speaker 10>Scott?

0:11:09.720 --> 0:11:13.400
<v Speaker 7>Yeah? Hi, Sorry, I'm calling from work, so it's a

0:11:13.400 --> 0:11:14.040
<v Speaker 7>different number.

0:11:15.120 --> 0:11:18.240
<v Speaker 8>Okay, yeah, how you how you do it?

0:11:19.720 --> 0:11:21.360
<v Speaker 10>I'm good. How's your take going?

0:11:22.240 --> 0:11:22.800
<v Speaker 8>Pretty good?

0:11:24.480 --> 0:11:27.920
<v Speaker 7>You know, I did want to like run something by you.

0:11:30.080 --> 0:11:32.800
<v Speaker 10>Okay, what is it?

0:11:33.360 --> 0:11:34.720
<v Speaker 7>Okay? Okay, here it is?

0:11:34.800 --> 0:11:34.959
<v Speaker 3>Right?

0:11:35.040 --> 0:11:38.800
<v Speaker 11>So, like, don't you like hate it when like people

0:11:38.840 --> 0:11:41.120
<v Speaker 11>start to date and it's super awkward in the beginning.

0:11:41.320 --> 0:11:42.880
<v Speaker 11>It doesn't isn't terrible?

0:11:44.200 --> 0:11:46.520
<v Speaker 10>I mean, yeah, it's definitely not the fun part.

0:11:47.440 --> 0:11:48.400
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, totally.

0:11:48.760 --> 0:11:51.880
<v Speaker 8>And so like I don't want it to suck.

0:11:52.000 --> 0:11:53.400
<v Speaker 7>I don't I want it to be good.

0:11:53.400 --> 0:11:56.760
<v Speaker 11>We've already had some great conversations, like we I think

0:11:56.760 --> 0:11:58.680
<v Speaker 11>we click pretty well.

0:12:01.000 --> 0:12:03.840
<v Speaker 8>I mean, you're not the answer that that's okay anyway.

0:12:03.679 --> 0:12:07.280
<v Speaker 7>So I was, I was, I was talking to a

0:12:07.320 --> 0:12:09.720
<v Speaker 7>buddy and he suggested.

0:12:09.200 --> 0:12:11.040
<v Speaker 8>Something and I wanted to run it by you.

0:12:12.200 --> 0:12:13.280
<v Speaker 10>Okay.

0:12:13.440 --> 0:12:17.400
<v Speaker 7>So it's called a trial relationship mode, So it's basically

0:12:18.559 --> 0:12:19.840
<v Speaker 7>instant exclusivity.

0:12:20.520 --> 0:12:22.760
<v Speaker 10>Hold on, hold on, Like I haven't even been on

0:12:22.800 --> 0:12:23.959
<v Speaker 10>a date with you yet.

0:12:24.400 --> 0:12:27.800
<v Speaker 11>I know, but like we've talked for like hours on

0:12:27.880 --> 0:12:30.520
<v Speaker 11>the phone and we've.

0:12:30.360 --> 0:12:31.000
<v Speaker 7>Like hung out.

0:12:31.559 --> 0:12:33.080
<v Speaker 8>I don't know, I thought it might be good to

0:12:33.120 --> 0:12:33.800
<v Speaker 8>try this out.

0:12:34.640 --> 0:12:38.000
<v Speaker 10>So you're asking me to skip all the awkward tough

0:12:38.040 --> 0:12:39.760
<v Speaker 10>and just jump into a relationship with you.

0:12:41.040 --> 0:12:43.200
<v Speaker 8>I don't know, doesn't that doesn't that sound awesome to you?

0:12:44.840 --> 0:12:47.960
<v Speaker 10>I mean it's definitely different. I've never heard of it before.

0:12:48.920 --> 0:12:51.800
<v Speaker 10>But yeah, the awkward stuff, I mean, it's it always sucks,

0:12:51.840 --> 0:12:54.480
<v Speaker 10>So it wouldn't be bad to skip over that.

0:12:55.320 --> 0:12:59.959
<v Speaker 7>Oh okay, Oh wow, you sound like you're interest.

0:13:01.760 --> 0:13:06.359
<v Speaker 10>I mean, like, oh, that sounds really good. But hypothetically,

0:13:06.840 --> 0:13:11.360
<v Speaker 10>what if I was in multiple situationships? Would I have

0:13:11.400 --> 0:13:11.880
<v Speaker 10>to stop the.

0:13:15.720 --> 0:13:17.280
<v Speaker 7>Multiple situationship?

0:13:17.520 --> 0:13:20.360
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, well we'll get to that, Scott. We just first

0:13:20.400 --> 0:13:21.920
<v Speaker 6>need to tell Nicole high.

0:13:23.320 --> 0:13:23.640
<v Speaker 10>Morning.

0:13:23.760 --> 0:13:25.080
<v Speaker 5>You're on the radio right now.

0:13:26.679 --> 0:13:30.840
<v Speaker 3>Hi, Okay, situationships, we're all here.

0:13:31.040 --> 0:13:32.640
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I don't know when you think of us

0:13:32.640 --> 0:13:36.400
<v Speaker 2>as like the big romantic gesture part you wanted a.

0:13:36.400 --> 0:13:38.200
<v Speaker 9>Surprise, don't like that?

0:13:38.240 --> 0:13:40.920
<v Speaker 1>So also don't think, yeah, we're.

0:13:40.840 --> 0:13:44.040
<v Speaker 6>Skipping the awkwardness of dating with this segment called the

0:13:44.080 --> 0:13:45.360
<v Speaker 6>Awkward Thursday Phone.

0:13:45.679 --> 0:13:48.000
<v Speaker 7>This is even more awkward than I expected.

0:13:48.080 --> 0:13:50.120
<v Speaker 6>Well, yes, we're getting all the awkwardness out of the

0:13:50.160 --> 0:13:52.480
<v Speaker 6>way so that we could just jump right to the

0:13:52.520 --> 0:13:55.439
<v Speaker 6>good part that thirty day trial relationship.

0:13:56.040 --> 0:13:58.640
<v Speaker 7>I mean, okay, so like back to your situationship stuff

0:13:58.720 --> 0:14:01.839
<v Speaker 7>like what do you what do you mean? Like? How many?

0:14:02.040 --> 0:14:03.360
<v Speaker 7>I'm curious, what do you do?

0:14:03.400 --> 0:14:05.000
<v Speaker 1>You need to know that?

0:14:04.920 --> 0:14:09.160
<v Speaker 5>That's how many situationships does she have to break off

0:14:09.240 --> 0:14:10.160
<v Speaker 5>to make this happen.

0:14:10.840 --> 0:14:13.200
<v Speaker 10>I'm not gonna answer that, but it's probably more than

0:14:13.200 --> 0:14:14.160
<v Speaker 10>you're thinking in your head.

0:14:14.440 --> 0:14:19.120
<v Speaker 2>Okay, no, wonder you haven't had time to damn him?

0:14:20.480 --> 0:14:24.280
<v Speaker 11>Oh yes, so this isn't hypothetical, this is like actual truth.

0:14:24.760 --> 0:14:27.040
<v Speaker 11>You have a couple of situationships, at least a couple.

0:14:27.520 --> 0:14:29.160
<v Speaker 10>Why didn't you were gonna call me and ask to

0:14:29.160 --> 0:14:30.840
<v Speaker 10>be exclusive before first date?

0:14:31.560 --> 0:14:32.720
<v Speaker 5>Yeah?

0:14:32.000 --> 0:14:34.720
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, that's totally fair. That's totally fair.

0:14:35.000 --> 0:14:37.960
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, but that just shows how strong he feels. The

0:14:37.960 --> 0:14:40.880
<v Speaker 6>connection is right off the bat between you two, Nicole,

0:14:41.280 --> 0:14:44.360
<v Speaker 6>And I'm sure if you reflect on all those other situationships,

0:14:44.520 --> 0:14:46.960
<v Speaker 6>none of them have as sexy of a voice as

0:14:47.000 --> 0:14:47.600
<v Speaker 6>Scott did.

0:14:48.320 --> 0:14:50.440
<v Speaker 8>Oh my god, he does.

0:14:50.440 --> 0:14:54.760
<v Speaker 10>That's a very sexy voice, yeah, said yea.

0:14:57.440 --> 0:14:58.920
<v Speaker 9>The first two words were pretty good though.

0:14:59.120 --> 0:15:02.480
<v Speaker 2>So if you were going away all these situationships out,

0:15:02.520 --> 0:15:04.720
<v Speaker 2>would Scott be top of the list.

0:15:05.240 --> 0:15:07.080
<v Speaker 10>I don't know. I've only met him in a dog one.

0:15:07.560 --> 0:15:10.360
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, she knows these other guys way more than she

0:15:10.400 --> 0:15:10.960
<v Speaker 9>knows him.

0:15:11.120 --> 0:15:13.320
<v Speaker 7>No, I know, but have you had, like, have you

0:15:13.320 --> 0:15:15.680
<v Speaker 7>had hours of conversation over the phone with these other

0:15:15.720 --> 0:15:19.800
<v Speaker 7>people's person I don't know if the answer to this.

0:15:20.400 --> 0:15:22.320
<v Speaker 10>I mean, I left one guy at my house this morning.

0:15:22.360 --> 0:15:23.000
<v Speaker 10>He's still there.

0:15:24.400 --> 0:15:25.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean she really trusts him.

0:15:25.840 --> 0:15:31.760
<v Speaker 7>Oh yeah, yep, that's that's great. So maybe the trial

0:15:31.840 --> 0:15:34.720
<v Speaker 7>relationship thing isn't for you for now. Maybe you got

0:15:34.720 --> 0:15:37.840
<v Speaker 7>to like tighten some screws up and nip some things

0:15:37.840 --> 0:15:38.520
<v Speaker 7>in the bud.

0:15:38.360 --> 0:15:40.720
<v Speaker 1>First trial, free trial trial.

0:15:42.080 --> 0:15:44.400
<v Speaker 7>Look, you know what, I'd even say, let's go on

0:15:44.440 --> 0:15:47.240
<v Speaker 7>the first date, see how it works, and then if

0:15:47.240 --> 0:15:48.040
<v Speaker 7>you're interested.

0:15:48.680 --> 0:15:51.880
<v Speaker 2>No, now he's like coming back on his like original

0:15:51.960 --> 0:15:52.520
<v Speaker 2>thirty day.

0:15:52.960 --> 0:15:54.640
<v Speaker 5>How about we just date like normal.

0:15:54.720 --> 0:15:56.120
<v Speaker 7>I just want to I just want to meet you

0:15:56.200 --> 0:15:57.680
<v Speaker 7>in person and have like a proper date.

0:15:57.800 --> 0:15:59.480
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, I have a new idea. Let's just have one

0:15:59.480 --> 0:15:59.800
<v Speaker 9>meet up.

0:16:02.520 --> 0:16:04.640
<v Speaker 1>Stick to your idea. Okay.

0:16:05.040 --> 0:16:08.560
<v Speaker 2>Just because she has some situationships, I mean, here's the thing, Nicole,

0:16:08.640 --> 0:16:11.280
<v Speaker 2>Obviously that's not working great for you because you haven't

0:16:11.320 --> 0:16:15.400
<v Speaker 2>committed to one of them, so they're not all that wonderful, right,

0:16:15.680 --> 0:16:18.400
<v Speaker 2>And this gives you thirty days to like, I don't know,

0:16:18.800 --> 0:16:19.600
<v Speaker 2>do a cleanse.

0:16:19.920 --> 0:16:20.840
<v Speaker 1>Think of it that way.

0:16:21.520 --> 0:16:24.560
<v Speaker 2>You know, it's like if you try to what you're

0:16:24.600 --> 0:16:26.760
<v Speaker 2>allergic to and you have to remove all the foods

0:16:26.800 --> 0:16:28.360
<v Speaker 2>and tell you Adam back.

0:16:28.200 --> 0:16:32.640
<v Speaker 6>In wait to make it sound sexy.

0:16:32.680 --> 0:16:36.400
<v Speaker 10>Now, Just so funny that all mill are so interested

0:16:36.400 --> 0:16:39.479
<v Speaker 10>in my dating life. Like, I did not expect this today.

0:16:39.680 --> 0:16:42.080
<v Speaker 6>We know it's not something that's traditional that we've ever

0:16:42.120 --> 0:16:45.600
<v Speaker 6>heard of before. It's brand new to us to a

0:16:45.680 --> 0:16:48.280
<v Speaker 6>trial relationship thirty day period, but we thought it was

0:16:48.360 --> 0:16:50.080
<v Speaker 6>interesting enough to bring it to your attention.

0:16:50.440 --> 0:16:51.880
<v Speaker 1>We want you to do it so in thirty days

0:16:51.920 --> 0:16:52.840
<v Speaker 1>we can get an update.

0:16:52.920 --> 0:16:53.960
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, think about us.

0:16:55.240 --> 0:16:56.760
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, that means I have to ditch all these other

0:16:56.800 --> 0:16:58.080
<v Speaker 10>guys I put time into that.

0:16:58.400 --> 0:17:00.600
<v Speaker 9>Well, you're honest, she's not cheating her trial.

0:17:01.240 --> 0:17:03.320
<v Speaker 1>I mean it's just thirty days without him.

0:17:03.480 --> 0:17:05.600
<v Speaker 5>You can always go back if the trial run doesn't

0:17:05.600 --> 0:17:05.960
<v Speaker 5>go well.

0:17:06.520 --> 0:17:07.800
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, I think I'm going to pass.

0:17:08.400 --> 0:17:12.520
<v Speaker 1>Oh, this is why we're not in the sales department.

0:17:12.680 --> 0:17:14.480
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, there's just too much fine print.

0:17:14.880 --> 0:17:15.679
<v Speaker 1>Yeah you think so.

0:17:16.160 --> 0:17:18.439
<v Speaker 3>Well, she can keep up with five guys have a

0:17:18.440 --> 0:17:19.960
<v Speaker 3>good time, or stick to one.

0:17:19.760 --> 0:17:22.960
<v Speaker 5>And just in case one sexy one. Oh yeah, with

0:17:23.000 --> 0:17:24.000
<v Speaker 5>a hot Voice.

0:17:24.320 --> 0:17:26.280
<v Speaker 8>It didn't turn out anywhere I expected.

0:17:27.000 --> 0:17:28.880
<v Speaker 9>Same here. We were all confident.

0:17:28.920 --> 0:17:30.520
<v Speaker 1>We let her think too much about it. That was

0:17:30.560 --> 0:17:33.640
<v Speaker 1>the problem, you know, No.

0:17:34.000 --> 0:17:36.120
<v Speaker 9>No, she's right, bros.

0:17:36.400 --> 0:17:37.960
<v Speaker 2>As soon as you say I'll get back to you

0:17:38.040 --> 0:17:40.040
<v Speaker 2>on it, then you know you're never going to get

0:17:40.040 --> 0:17:40.680
<v Speaker 2>the deal done.

0:17:40.880 --> 0:17:43.640
<v Speaker 6>And something you don't know, Nicole, is Scott ditched all

0:17:43.680 --> 0:17:46.440
<v Speaker 6>of his situation ships just to make this phone call.

0:17:46.640 --> 0:17:49.400
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, I had no situation.

0:17:51.920 --> 0:17:59.920
<v Speaker 12>To help you, Brook and Jeffrey In the morning textan

0:18:00.040 --> 0:18:03.159
<v Speaker 12>to seventy five ninety two, someone said I've heard of this,

0:18:03.240 --> 0:18:06.479
<v Speaker 12>and I tried it myself actually and it worked.

0:18:06.760 --> 0:18:07.119
<v Speaker 2>Oh.

0:18:07.160 --> 0:18:10.120
<v Speaker 6>I had an incredible, drama free relationship with a guy

0:18:10.160 --> 0:18:13.880
<v Speaker 6>for an entire month until his visa expired and had

0:18:13.880 --> 0:18:16.159
<v Speaker 6>to go back to his wife and kids in Portugal.

0:18:16.680 --> 0:18:18.679
<v Speaker 5>Goodness, Okay, but for that month.

0:18:18.720 --> 0:18:19.920
<v Speaker 9>It was bliss.

0:18:20.040 --> 0:18:20.280
<v Speaker 7>Yeah.

0:18:20.440 --> 0:18:23.720
<v Speaker 1>I met the wife. Actually enjoyed that month too, from

0:18:23.800 --> 0:18:24.720
<v Speaker 1>the sounds of that guy.

0:18:24.800 --> 0:18:25.000
<v Speaker 7>Yeah.

0:18:25.600 --> 0:18:28.400
<v Speaker 6>But just because it didn't work this time for Scott,

0:18:28.760 --> 0:18:32.680
<v Speaker 6>it doesn't mean a trial relationship wouldn't work for anybody ever.

0:18:33.359 --> 0:18:35.920
<v Speaker 1>I just really want the update thirty days later. Yeah,

0:18:35.920 --> 0:18:37.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm like disappointed that we're not going to get it

<v Speaker 1>from these two. Do you want someone else to do it?

0:18:39.920 --> 0:18:40.600
<v Speaker 7>Sure? Yeah?

0:18:40.680 --> 0:18:42.520

<v Speaker 1>Yah, as new things often do.

0:18:57.560 --> 0:18:58.359
