18
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:07,720

Speaker 2: but we've never met in personally.

22
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:15,400
Speaker 3: We're on the same page. I just want to clear

23
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 3: up a few things before the date. That's why I'm

24
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:18,319
Speaker 3: reaching out to you.

25
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, is there a problem? Why? Why would a

26
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 2: law firm be told me about this?

27
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 3: Well, I'm just looking through my client's file here, and

28
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,760
Speaker 3: it says in the section with the dating prompt that

29
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 3: states you should not go out with me if you

30
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 3: know updating prompt I'm talking about.

31
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:37,960
Speaker 2: I mean, i've seen those.

32
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 3: Okay, Well, Juniper's reads quote you should not go out

33
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 3: with me if you think I can be bought or

34
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 3: impressed with your income end quote. So she's hoping that

35
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 3: you're not too well off but also not completely broke.

36
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 2: And she had a lawyer asked me that you.

37
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 3: Can imagine it's not a comfortable question when you're just

38
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 3: one on one.

39
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 2: So yeah, I don't I have not an answer that.

40
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 3: Well, based on that, I can just assume that you're

41
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 3: not wealthy.

42
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 2: Non answer.

43
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 3: So I'm just going to make a note of that

44
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 3: right here. Not okay, next dating prompt, Juniper said, you

45
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 3: should not go out with me if you expect a

46
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 3: casual encounter. Why are you hesitating? Well, I don't know

47
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 3: that you're still stumbling. Okay, you're not answering as quickly

48
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:26,920
Speaker 3: as I thought you would.

49
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 2: These are very odd questions and I don't know.

50
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:34,679
Speaker 3: I see, so you wanted to do casual stuff with her?

51
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 2: No, I didn't say I don't know what we're going

52
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 2: to do.

53
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 4: Right.

54
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 3: My wording was wrong there. I meant you want to

55
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 3: do casual stuff to her? Is that verbiage fit?

56
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 2: Or we're going to dinner. I want to go to dinner. Well,

57
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:50,359
Speaker 2: single parents and we don't even know. I don't know

58
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 2: if we're doing a playdate or anything. We haven't set

59
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 2: anything up yet.

60
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 3: That brings me to my next statement here. Juniper wrote

61
00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:00,639
Speaker 3: that the non negotiable for her is she will not

62
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 3: introduce her children prior to a year of being in

63
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:05,079
Speaker 3: a committed relationship.

64
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, no, I saw that on her profile.

65
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:12,119
Speaker 3: Right, But you have children as well, correct?

66
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:14,919
Speaker 2: No, I absolutely do, yes. Right.

67
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 3: So that's where Juniper's request for you comes in. She

68
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 3: would like your non negotiable to be you don't introduce

69
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 3: your children to her for two years.

70
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 2: You know, the formality of this is a little extreme.

71
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 3: I did tell her it was extreme, and lucky for you,

72
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 3: I was able to talk her down a little bit.

73
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 3: She would be willing to be in the same room

74
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 3: as your children, but she will not have any vocal

75
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 3: communication or acknowledgment of that during that time.

76
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 2: Wow wow, okay, so if things worked out, she would

77
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 2: be in my house but not speak to my children.

78
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, no eye contact either. She was specific about that. Oh,

79
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 3: and she will also refuse to make their meals and

80
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 3: clean up after them, at least for the first two years,

81
00:03:58,640 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 3: which seems reasonable.

82
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 2: How's that reasonable? What are you talking about? Reasonable? This?

83
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 2: You're joking me right now? Right?

84
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 3: Do I sound like a woman who likes jokes.

85
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 2: You don't sound like a woman at all. You sound

86
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 2: like a robot like.

87
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 3: This is I'm a lawyer, sir, one step down from robots.

88
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 2: You know what.

89
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 4: Okay, you do your job, but I'm over this, like

90
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 4: I don't. You can tell Jenniper that this whole thing

91
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 4: is done, like I am done with dating sites. I'm

92
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 4: done with dating. This is ridiculous.

93
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:26,719
Speaker 3: Well, that seems extreme.

94
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 2: Oh no, I'm being extreme.

95
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,039
Speaker 4: She's not looking at my kids just for the first

96
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 4: two years. Two years, two years. I haven't even gone

97
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 4: out once with her yet. We haven't been on one date.

98
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,359
Speaker 3: Actually, that brings me to my last point here. She

99
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 3: also requires you to have a good sense of humor

100
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 3: and finds this prank phone call from Brook and Jeffrey

101
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 3: in the Morning. Funny, is that a negotiable? Non negotiable?

102
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 2: I'm saying that one more time.

103
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:56,160
Speaker 3: What do you say? Jennifer's messing with you. This is

104
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,359
Speaker 3: actually brought from the radio show Brooke and Jeffrey in

105
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,159
Speaker 3: the Morning. She wrote it and wanted to phone tap you.

106
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 2: I was losing my mind over are you?

107
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 3: She said that she's really excited for your first day

108
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 3: and just wanted to break the ice with some humor.

109
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 2: I was like, who do There's no way that this

110
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 2: is possible. Oh my god.

111
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 3: Week up every morning was phone taps weekday mornings on

112
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 3: the twenties Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning
