Speaker 4: vibe but with alcohol.
Speaker 3: But we were in like full competition.
Speaker 4: Mode and I bodied him in ski ball, like absolutely
Speaker 4: absolutely crushed him. There was maybe some light trash talk
Speaker 4: and maybe call him Grandpa hands when he missed them
Speaker 4: one hundred hole, but I thought it was flirty. He
Speaker 4: laughed at the time, and then we shared a giant
Speaker 4: pressol and he wiped mustard off my face.
Speaker 3: So I thought he was going to kiss me.
Speaker 6: I was like, okay, kiss me now, but he didn't.
Speaker 4: But we did slow dance next to the DDR machine,
Speaker 4: so it felt kind of like weirdly romantic. Is that stupid?
Speaker 1: Not at all fun? I mean that feels like he
Speaker 1: was vibing with you too.
Speaker 4: Yeah, somebody else played Celine Dion Machine on DDR, which
Speaker 4: is a weird pick, but we slowed danced to that,
Speaker 4: and he was just really funny. I thought them through
Speaker 4: thing was cute, and like, I thought we were having
Speaker 4: fun playing the game, So I don't know, I was.
Speaker 3: I thought it went great. I really had a great time.
Speaker 1: So why do you think he's ghosting you? Then?
Speaker 4: Okay, So I thought about this a lot, and there
Speaker 4: was one moment where I kind of tried to do
Speaker 4: like a sexy lean While I was talking to him,
Speaker 4: I was like playing with my hair and I leaned
Speaker 4: against this life sized sonic the hedgehog statue, and I
Speaker 4: kind of knocked it completely over on the mountain.
Speaker 5: Oh okay, well, do you think that would be why
Speaker 5: he would ghost you?
Speaker 3: It's the only thing I could think of.
Speaker 4: It made like a really loud crash, like I feel
Speaker 4: like it the a light flickered.
Speaker 3: A guy yelled at me. It was like, I don't
Speaker 3: know if.
Speaker 4: He worked there, if he was just nearby, but I'm
Speaker 4: wondering if I like embarrassed him or something. I feel
Speaker 4: like I feel like we left shortly after that, so
Speaker 4: it was just like a weird shift in the energy.
Speaker 1: What was he doing when you did that? Was he
Speaker 1: trying to help you up? Was he like, are you okay?
Speaker 1: Did he walk away?
Speaker 3: He didn't walk away, but he was just kind of
Speaker 3: I think he was shocked.
Speaker 4: And we were just kind of standing there and looking
Speaker 4: around stupidly, and a guy who worked there ended up
Speaker 4: like coming over and kicking it up.
Speaker 3: But yeah, he was.
Speaker 4: I apologize to him and he was like, oh my god,
Speaker 4: it's totally fine.
Speaker 6: But we left not that long after that, So that's.
Speaker 3: Like the only thing I can think of.
Speaker 1: I really hope it's not that.
Speaker 5: Okay, Yeah, we'll check it out for you.
Speaker 2: We'll play a song come back, and then call him
Speaker 2: and see if he'll tell us why he's ghosting you
Speaker 2: and maybe get you a second date.

Speaker 2: and see if he'll tell us why he's ghosting her
Speaker 2: and maybe get her a second date. But before we
Speaker 2: do that, Molly, rush our memory on your date real quick.
Speaker 4: We went to this like eighties themed retro bar arcade situation.
Speaker 6: And I played a bunch.
Speaker 4: We played a bunch of games and I thought it
Speaker 4: went really well. But then I knocked over a gigantic
Speaker 4: sonic the Hedgehog statue and you made a big noise,
Speaker 4: and I think that's maybe why you's ghosting me.
Speaker 2: Okay, so that would be weird to get ghosted for
Speaker 2: knocking over a sonic the Hedgehog.
