Speaker 1: Second date. Dating. Dating is a lot like riding a bike. First,
Speaker 1: you do it with dad's help. Whys right behind you
Speaker 1: making sure that you don't get hurt because it's scary
Speaker 1: the first few times. Why is your dad there while
Speaker 1: mom's holding the camera shouting positive things, don't close your eyes,
Speaker 1: stop crying. You have a really close family. But then
Speaker 1: eventually dad let's go, and suddenly look at that you're
Speaker 1: doing it all by yourself. Why is mom still there
Speaker 1: with a video camera? I asked her to be there,
Speaker 1: But I bring about a far up because one of

Speaker 1: That's sweets. I mean, she's not calling you back, so
Speaker 1: there must be something going on. Did you get a
Speaker 1: chance to really learn about her, because it sounds like
Speaker 1: this was a lot about your interest, your activities. It
Speaker 1: was she did a lot of talking, but mostly was
Speaker 1: about her work and her job. I mean she said, okay,
Speaker 1: do you have like a high pressure job? Okay? And
Speaker 1: did you hook up in the modern um if you mean,
Speaker 1: did we do anything that somebody would be saying we
Speaker 1: should have done on the first date or anything like that. No,
Speaker 1: we did not. Nobody on this show would say shows
Speaker 1: a nice little goodbye, just a hug, a little peck
Speaker 1: and the cheek. Nothing, nothing out of the ordinary. Well overall,
Speaker 1: it sounds like it's a pretty solid date. How long
Speaker 1: has it been since you last talked to her? It's
Speaker 1: been a couple of months? What months? Months? Been a
Speaker 1: couple of months? Have you dated sense? Or you did

Speaker 1: All right, hold on it, Dennis. I know you been
Speaker 1: telling us that you just got back into the dating
Speaker 1: scene and you didn't know what you were doing. Yeah,

Speaker 1: you know, just running into the rock climbing place with
Speaker 1: your extra large harness on, acting like a boss fist,
Speaker 1: bumping all your friends, talking about your new clubs and activities.
Speaker 1: I bet she thought you were some type of smooth talker.

Speaker 1: you went out with a little while ago. His name's Dennis.
Speaker 1: Do you remember a couple months back. Yeah, yeah, that's
Speaker 1: quite a while ago. That's the reaction, remember, Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: the reaction we had when he told us how long
Speaker 1: it had been. Yeah, it's been it's been a while,
Speaker 1: so I have to I have to think for a minute. Well,
Speaker 1: it's a good sign that he's reaching out to you.
Speaker 1: I know it's a little bit late, but yeah, he
Speaker 1: told us about your date and said he had a
Speaker 1: really good time with you. And afterwards he said he
Speaker 1: tried texting and calling you, but he hasn't gotten any response.
Speaker 1: Oh um, have you been seeing those Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: he was a really nice guy. I just I feel
Speaker 1: like he was just looking for something else that I oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: can you explain, Well, I mean I just have different
Speaker 1: expectations at this point in my life and he just
Speaker 1: seemed we just seemed to be out of alignment. I guess. Okay, Well,
Speaker 1: I mean he told us a little bit about your
Speaker 1: date that you guys went rock climbing and went to
Speaker 1: a bar and got to talking a lot about your lives.
Speaker 1: Has something come up? Yeah, I mean things were great.
Speaker 1: We were reviving and made a couple of beers, and
Speaker 1: he kind of get to see you more a little
Speaker 1: bit of like yourself. Yeah, and he threw in a
Speaker 1: line where he said something like he was just kind
Speaker 1: of looking for a hook up buddy. What oh yeah, wow. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he didn't say anything like that to us. He sounded
Speaker 1: like to us that he was looking for a long
Speaker 1: term relationship. I mean, we talked to him about how
Speaker 1: he had spent two years single working on himself and
Speaker 1: that he was finally ready to see what was out
Speaker 1: there because he felt like he had something to offer someone. No, no,
Speaker 1: that's nothing I got. He said he was happy that
Speaker 1: he had a friends with benefits now friends friends with
Speaker 1: benefits that yeah, oh no, you can't really just say that,
Speaker 1: like as in, you are his friend with benefits even
Speaker 1: though you hadn't given him any benefits yet. Yeah, right,
Speaker 1: like I had been assigned the title all of a
Speaker 1: sudden friends, and that's not how that works, Like friends
Speaker 1: of benefits somebody you already know, and then you're like, Okay,
Speaker 1: maybe on the side will hook up because I in
Speaker 1: a dry spell. Yeah, I think that's why he was insinuating.
Speaker 1: He wanted the things to be that way, and I'm
Speaker 1: not anyone's side. Chief didn't call him back with ye
Speaker 1: at least he was honest with you. There's some sort
Speaker 1: of miscommunication here. Either Dennis isn't telling the truth or
Speaker 1: she misheard something. So let's just get Dennis on the
Speaker 1: phone right now, because Stephanie, I need to tell you
Speaker 1: he's been there the entire time listening Stephanie. Stephanie, Oh wow, okay,
Speaker 1: that's are you says, Oh my goodness, I have such
Speaker 1: an apology to make to you. Is good. You heard
Speaker 1: what I said, but that's not at all what I've merried.
Speaker 1: Oh I said to you friends with benefit. I meant
Speaker 1: the fact that you have a great job and you
Speaker 1: have medical benefits. Really shut up. The last girl I
Speaker 1: was with, part of the reason why we ended up
Speaker 1: glass at the Ways is because she didn't have any
Speaker 1: and she only wanted to be with me because she
Speaker 1: thought I could get her benefit so much. You're telling
Speaker 1: me that you didn't know what friends with benefits meant.
Speaker 1: I'm talking about benefits a movie like, I don't know
Speaker 1: nothing about that stuff. Okay, are you understanding what it means?
Speaker 1: Like now now I understand why she felt the way
Speaker 1: she felt. Also told that you just wanted to hook up.
Speaker 1: You what you said, hook up buddy or something like that, Right, Stephanie,
Speaker 1: isn't that what he said? He said he wanted friends
Speaker 1: with benefits? And I guess I assumed he meant a
Speaker 1: hook up buddy. That's what it is. Yeah, right, buddy
Speaker 1: with dental h Well, I mean it sounds like you
Speaker 1: guys just didn't understand what each other were saying, and
Speaker 1: you're actually looking for the same thing, dude, And he
Speaker 1: messed up on a bunch of phrases with us before
Speaker 1: she even got him a fall. It's true, like Stephanie,
Speaker 1: he did. He told us that he hooked up with
Speaker 1: you when you guys first met, Yeah, when you just
Speaker 1: linked up. Yeah, I've been saying the wrong thing the
Speaker 1: whole time. But you guys can tell I don't know
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about I mean, Dennis, are you like
Speaker 1: a arphe like brook, don't ask that. No, I've just
Speaker 1: I've just been out of the loop. I don't have
Speaker 1: a lot of young people around me. And what do
Speaker 1: you want me to do? Watch MTV and then nobody
Speaker 1: watching even watching what I know? Get a TikTok account. Okay,
Speaker 1: I mean what, Yeah, I gotta watch. I mean, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna watch. You can hear Dennis. He sounds like a
Speaker 1: pretty nice, genuine guy. He needs a little bit of
Speaker 1: updating in terms of dating terminology. But we'd like to
Speaker 1: send you out on another date and maybe you can
Speaker 1: help teach him some of those things and we'll pay
Speaker 1: for the date. No, it sounds like fun. Will you stefinitely?
Speaker 1: Will you go with me? It's a misunderstanding. We'll go out.
Speaker 1: It'll be great. Oh wow, that's good. So see now
Speaker 1: I have a true friend with benefit no medical Just
Speaker 1: make sure you go to the Urban Dictionary before you
Speaker 1: go on this day. Pay Dennis. Look up Mexican and
Speaker 1: Jeffrey in the morning. I feel kind of happy for Dennis.
Speaker 1: You know, he's a he's a likable guy, kind of
Speaker 1: stuck in a time warp and apparently he hasn't watched
Speaker 1: TV or listen to radio or watch the news in
Speaker 1: thirty years. Yeah, participated in society even because he doesn't
Speaker 1: know anything, would know what friends with benefits. But isn't
Speaker 1: that kind of a good thing, Like you get the
Speaker 1: chance to be with a guy who's basically a baby.
Speaker 1: That sounds terrible. He's pure, he's untouched, unworn. Yeah. Now
Speaker 1: I'm just saying like he's he's not scarred and is
Speaker 1: not jaded by the dating. He's not gonna play games
Speaker 1: on you exactly. You don't know how literally, Yeah, accidentally,
Speaker 1: I guess yet. Or he's just gonna claim dumb every
Speaker 1: time he gets caught doing something wrong. It's hard to
Speaker 1: argue you again, jaded, Yeah, you're you're one of the
Speaker 1: jaded ones. You don't believe them. You don't want a
Speaker 1: baby man. I want a man man, not a baby man. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you want one that's been with thousands and thousands. He's
Speaker 1: got paperwork that checks out things are still good. But
Speaker 1: text into seven eight to five nine two tell us
Speaker 1: if you think these two are gonna make it, that's
Speaker 1: a good sound coming from us. Yeah, I remember, if
Speaker 1: you ever want to get a second date up, that
Speaker 1: you can always email our show. We can call the
Speaker 1: person who wasn't calling you back
