Speaker 4: I saw her come in while I was waiting for

52
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 4: my drink, and I went up there and I just yelled.

53
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 3: Kendra, question Mark, what did she say?

54
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 4: She was? Just like, uh, who aren't you.

55
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:22,239
Speaker 3: That means yes, I am, but I don't recognize you. Okay,

58
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,200

79
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 4: You could tell there was a vibe, you know between us.

80
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 2: Okay, did you ask her out, what'd you do? Did

85
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 4: Days later we went to dinner. It was amazing. I

86
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 4: mean it felt better than going on a normal date

87
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 4: because we already had connection.

88
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:02,920

Speaker 3: you two went on.

90
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 4: It wasn't officially a date. It was more of a catchup.

91
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 5: Like from his side of the story, it's like cool

92
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,760

93
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 5: feels the same, has been a babysitter, it would be

94
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 5: really weird even as adults because you just still see

95
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:24,040
Speaker 5: that person as a kid.

96
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 7: It's like, leave them back.

Speaker 3: But you talked to herself out.

102
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:37,279
Speaker 5: Well, I I'm tried to think from her side, what

103
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 5: was her reaction to this? Did she give any indication

104
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 5: that she had any interest?

105
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:47,040

Speaker 4: It was amazing, Like, Okay, try her when you're bored.

112
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 6: Men don't believe that.

113
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:09,280
Speaker 3: Scientific room and you also do it when you're flirting.

114
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 3: But you're right. It could be either. She could have

116
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:12,040

00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 2: are into them. Yeah more our listener isn't It.

163
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 1: Did actually happen though, to one of our listeners name Marky. Well,

164
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 1: I'm calling him Markie because the person across the table

165
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 1: was his ex babysitter from when he was younger.

166
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was nine years old. She was fourteen at

167
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 3: the time.

168
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 1: But now they're both grown adults and Mark wants to

169
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 1: play doctor the real way.

170
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 3: But does she see him that way? Well, she kept

171
00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 3: calling him Mark.

172
00:07:57,520 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 4: Yeah.

173
00:07:57,720 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 3: Probably not not a good sign.

174
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 2: Not yet.

175
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 1: He needs to get our advice on how to change

176
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 1: that for himself.

177
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 3: So let's go to Brooks for advice. What do you

178
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 3: think he should do?

179
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 5: Bro, Well, I've been thinking about this a lot, and

180
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 5: I mean you have to switch her mindset, right.

181
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 2: You have to have her start thinking of you like

182
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 2: a man. I never suggest this, but I think you

183
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 2: should bring.

184
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 8: Up exes because if she can see you in an

185
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 8: adult relationship, if she can imagine that, maybe then she

186
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 8: can imagine herself in an adult relationship with you.

187
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 1: Okay, you ready to drop your body count on her?

188
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 4: What do you think, Mark, I don't want her to

189
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 4: get you know, jealous or anything.

190
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 3: If you do, you do?

191
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 8: Yeah?

192
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 5: You yes, you could just say like when I was

193
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 5: traveling Europe with Candace God, you know, stuff like that,

194
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,079
Speaker 5: she was great, but she didn't really work out, you.

195
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 3: Know, snobby boyfriend trying to.

196
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 2: Make him sound rich, adult, and well traveled.

197
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 1: Jeffrey, those are good things to remember. Act rich, act

198
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:06,960
Speaker 1: grown up, and act well traveled.

199
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 4: I think I can do that.

00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 4: You do, I know you? Yeah. I kind of need

221
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:25,200
Speaker 4: to admit something to you. Okay, Uh so when I

222
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:30,080
Speaker 4: was nine, I kind of had a crush on you.

223
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:34,719
Speaker 6: Oh my god, tell me something I don't know.

224
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 4: Oh wait, you knew that.

225
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 6: Well, I kind of had a feeling. I mean when

226
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 6: my boyfriend stopped by that one time you called nine

227
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 6: one one and told them that there was an intruder

228
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 6: at the door.

229
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 4: So right, God, I totally forgot about that. Anyway, Oh

230
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:58,320
Speaker 4: you said that was cute.

231
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:01,839
Speaker 7: Yeah, it was so cute.

232
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 4: Anyway, did you have a good time the other night

233
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 4: when we hung out? Yeah?

234
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 2: I did.

235
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 6: It was really nice, but it was like a little late.

236
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 4: What do you mean?

237
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:16,679
Speaker 6: I mean, Well, you know, you told me you had

238
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,080
Speaker 6: a big meeting the next day, and I felt like

239
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,080
Speaker 6: I was keeping you up past your bedtime.

240
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 4: Well I'm older now, so I don't really have a bedtime.

241
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:31,959
Speaker 4: Well I know that, but.

242
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:38,680
Speaker 6: Like everybody needs their sleep, even like big boys like you.

243
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I guess that's true. But I should

244
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 4: probably listen to you more.

245
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 7: I mean, you should.

246
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 6: That was the meeting.

247
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 4: It was good. I mean I think I made a

248
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 4: good impression.

249
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 6: Did you brush your teeth before?

250
00:11:56,280 --> 00:12:00,440
Speaker 4: Yeah? But look, here's the conflict that I have. And

251
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 4: I'm just gonna be honest. I don't know if you

252
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 4: see it, but I feel like there's like an attraction

253
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 4: between us.

254
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:13,080
Speaker 6: I mean, yeah, I feel that.

255
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 4: Right. But like you've heard of people being like friend

256
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:25,440
Speaker 4: zoned before, I feel like I'm being nanny zoned.

257
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 5: Wait what are you talking about?

258
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 4: You know, like the brush your teeth common and on

259
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 4: the date you made me eat vegetables. It's just stuff

260
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:37,200
Speaker 4: you would have said to me as a kid, and

261
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:39,439
Speaker 4: I don't want the potential of this to have some

262
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 4: the same nanny kid power structure.

263
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:48,680
Speaker 6: Okay, okay, how about this. How about you come over

264
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 6: to my place this Friday night. I'll make you dinner

265
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 6: and I won't make you eat vegetables.

266
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 4: Okay, yeah that sounds good.

267
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, and then we can watch a movie that's you know,

268
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 6: not too scary because I remember that you don't like

269
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 6: the scary one. And the best bard is if you

270
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 6: stay out past alone and I won't make you go home.

271
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,079
Speaker 4: Oh wow?

272
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, you can stay over and I'll read you

273
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 6: a bedtime story and talk with.

274
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 7: Joy.

275
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 4: Hello.

00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 3: Hey, Kendra, Hey, who is Kendra.

277
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,040

279
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 3: Huh okay, Jeffrey.

Speaker 1: We're a morning radio show right and we're doing a

281
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 1: segment with Mark called Awkward Tuesday Phone Call. We're trying

282
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 1: to help him have this conversation with you.

283
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 2: About like dating, not about bedtime stories.

284
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 6: Mark, what's happening right now?

285
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 4: I don't like this?

286
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 2: Oh sorry, Mark.

287
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 3: Mark, do you want to explain?

288
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 4: So let's and I have feelings for you, and I

289
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 4: want you to see me as an equal because I really,

290
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:09,960
Speaker 4: I really see its being a thing.

291
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 1: Do you feel like there's a connection there, maybe, Kendra,

292
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,720
Speaker 1: like a grown up, mature, romantic connection.

293
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 7: I mean, I kind of see something. But at the

294
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 7: same time, it's just like really hard to shake the

295
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 7: image I have of you as a little boy, Like

296
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 7: in my mind, you're still a little boy.

297
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 5: But listen to his voice. That's a man voice and

298
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 5: you're sitting across from him at the dinner table. He's

299
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 5: got facial hair.

300
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 1: Say something manly right now, Mark, go ahead, I mean

301
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 1: I do have facial hair.

302
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 3: I mean, come on, wow, I'm certainly convinced.

303
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 7: I just think he's adorable, but I just can't like,

304
00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 7: he's just Marky.

305
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 2: I don't know, he's Marky and Okay, but you admit it.

306
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 2: You admitted there was an attraction when you two were talking.

307
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 2: I heard you. You said, yeah, I get it.

308
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 3: But then she told him to make sure he brushes

309
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 3: his teeth every night, So like each other out like,

310
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 3: do you do you realize that you're doing that, Kendra?

311
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 3: Or do you even know that I habit?

312
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 2: What do you want from me?

313
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 6: It's habits.

314
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 1: This could just be a case of two people trying

315
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 1: to force a romantic connection when really it is what

316
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 1: it is. And maybe you're just meant more to be

317
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 1: just friends.

318
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, or Mark just wants his girlfriend to do everything

319
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 5: for him, you know, like changes down.

320
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 2: I mean, he obviously kind of likes it.

321
