WEBVTT - Awkward Tuesday: Plus One

0:00:00.000 --> 0:00:02.120
<v Speaker 1>All right, welcome to the show with Daddy Issues. Hey,

0:00:02.160 --> 0:00:04.080
<v Speaker 1>oh yeah, it's Burke and Jeffrey.

0:00:04.080 --> 0:00:05.960
<v Speaker 2>In the morning, there was a Second Date podcast, of course,

0:00:06.000 --> 0:00:09.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm referring to yesterday's Second Date where the guy said

0:00:09.360 --> 0:00:10.559
<v Speaker 2>because she had a nose piercing.

0:00:10.600 --> 0:00:13.200
<v Speaker 1>As I'm staring at Alexis's.

0:00:12.560 --> 0:00:17.000
<v Speaker 2>Nose piercing, which I had mine peers for eighteen years.

0:00:18.520 --> 0:00:20.480
<v Speaker 2>The only reason I took it out is because when

0:00:20.480 --> 0:00:23.520
<v Speaker 2>I was breastfeeding my baby when she was little, she

0:00:23.600 --> 0:00:25.000
<v Speaker 2>kept ripping it out of my nose.

0:00:25.120 --> 0:00:31.800
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, it hurts so bad. Oh yeah, yeah. Anyway,

0:00:31.840 --> 0:00:33.440
<v Speaker 1>my dad was all about it when I got it done,

0:00:33.479 --> 0:00:33.880
<v Speaker 1>but I'm.

0:00:33.920 --> 0:00:36.320
<v Speaker 3>Already probably you as well. Yeah, it's like double pain.

0:00:36.400 --> 0:00:39.479
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it was double pain. Some of the comments we're

0:00:39.479 --> 0:00:42.280
<v Speaker 1>seeing from yesterday, yeah, kind of the same. Megan Jones said,

0:00:42.280 --> 0:00:45.360
<v Speaker 1>I got my nose piers with my dad. Oh yeah.

0:00:45.600 --> 0:00:49.040
<v Speaker 2>Michelle says, everyone knows the universal sign for daddy issues

0:00:49.080 --> 0:00:56.120
<v Speaker 2>is a lower back tattoo. Yeah, it's just the universal

0:00:56.160 --> 0:00:58.200
<v Speaker 2>sign that you went to high school in the late nineties,

0:00:58.840 --> 0:01:06.080
<v Speaker 2>everybody had or a palm tree or a heart.

0:01:06.160 --> 0:01:08.679
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Yeah. I used to go to a tanny bed,

0:01:08.680 --> 0:01:11.440
<v Speaker 1>which don't do. By the way, it's terrible for you.

0:01:11.480 --> 0:01:13.960
<v Speaker 1>In the back of a video store. It was so sketchy,

0:01:14.280 --> 0:01:16.039
<v Speaker 1>that is, it was so sketchy.

0:01:16.200 --> 0:01:20.000
<v Speaker 2>Anyway, we're got awkward Tuesday right now, and so let's

0:01:20.040 --> 0:01:21.160
<v Speaker 2>get awkward and make it happen.

0:01:21.200 --> 0:01:22.800
<v Speaker 1>It's brand new and it starts now.

0:01:23.959 --> 0:01:27.320
<v Speaker 3>The most uncomfortable topic to bring up in any conversation

0:01:27.800 --> 0:01:32.080
<v Speaker 3>isn't politics or religion or that hairy growth on your

0:01:32.120 --> 0:01:37.319
<v Speaker 3>lower back hands down? Its money? Oh oh yeah, top.

0:01:37.520 --> 0:01:39.640
<v Speaker 3>And while it's kind of unavoidable if you're talking with

0:01:39.680 --> 0:01:42.520
<v Speaker 3>your boss or your roommate, the last person you want

0:01:42.520 --> 0:01:44.959
<v Speaker 3>to bring it up with is your crush.

0:01:45.080 --> 0:01:46.360
<v Speaker 1>Ooh, I know.

0:01:46.920 --> 0:01:49.520
<v Speaker 3>That's exactly what one of our listeners is being forced

0:01:49.560 --> 0:01:53.200
<v Speaker 3>to do. And the craziest part is why he has

0:01:53.280 --> 0:01:57.000
<v Speaker 3>to discuss it with her. Oh, it's so weird. You're

0:01:57.040 --> 0:01:59.440
<v Speaker 3>going to hear it in your brand new awkward Tuesday

0:01:59.440 --> 0:02:03.240
<v Speaker 3>phone call right after this. It's awkward.

0:02:03.480 --> 0:02:04.320
<v Speaker 1>It's Tuesday.

0:02:05.160 --> 0:02:10.520
<v Speaker 3>It's awkward Tuesday phone call. It shouldn't happen, but sometimes

0:02:10.520 --> 0:02:14.760
<v Speaker 3>it does. Where money comes between friends and ruins their

0:02:14.800 --> 0:02:16.000
<v Speaker 3>relationship forever.

0:02:16.360 --> 0:02:19.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so easily that can happen.

0:02:19.800 --> 0:02:23.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, like when I bought Brooke a seventy dollars wine

0:02:23.200 --> 0:02:27.320
<v Speaker 3>glass to Canter for her wedding. That should pretty much

0:02:27.400 --> 0:02:30.200
<v Speaker 3>equal out Brooke paying for all of my lunches over

0:02:30.200 --> 0:02:33.760
<v Speaker 3>the last decade, but somehow she doesn't see it that day.

0:02:33.840 --> 0:02:34.600
<v Speaker 3>Why you don't pay her?

0:02:34.720 --> 0:02:36.840
<v Speaker 2>I actually got married thirteen years ago, so it's been

0:02:36.880 --> 0:02:39.520
<v Speaker 2>over a decade that I've been paying for lunches.

0:02:39.639 --> 0:02:43.520
<v Speaker 3>That's three years. You see the hostilities that I'm still

0:02:43.560 --> 0:02:47.320
<v Speaker 3>getting over a decade later. Now, Brooke and I've been

0:02:47.360 --> 0:02:49.640
<v Speaker 3>able to work through it, but one of our listeners

0:02:49.800 --> 0:02:53.639
<v Speaker 3>hasn't had as much success with his friend, and that's

0:02:53.680 --> 0:02:56.640
<v Speaker 3>why he needs our help today. Nick, Welcome to the

0:02:56.760 --> 0:02:58.200
<v Speaker 3>friend Dome. How you do it?

0:02:59.240 --> 0:03:03.079
<v Speaker 4>Hey, guys, if you're having me, do you? Nick?

0:03:05.720 --> 0:03:05.840
<v Speaker 5>Now?

0:03:06.000 --> 0:03:10.560
<v Speaker 3>Not yet? Well, tell us about the situation going on

0:03:10.760 --> 0:03:12.639
<v Speaker 3>that's created issues with you and your friend.

0:03:13.480 --> 0:03:16.760
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, so I got this co worker. She works in

0:03:16.840 --> 0:03:20.040
<v Speaker 4>my company, but different floor, so I don't really see

0:03:20.080 --> 0:03:21.080
<v Speaker 4>her that much.

0:03:21.680 --> 0:03:23.959
<v Speaker 1>So this is just a work friend that we're talking about.

0:03:24.560 --> 0:03:27.800
<v Speaker 4>Yeah. Yeah, so I've had like a small crush on

0:03:27.840 --> 0:03:28.440
<v Speaker 4>her for a while.

0:03:28.720 --> 0:03:30.799
<v Speaker 3>Okay, what's her name?

0:03:31.080 --> 0:03:32.560
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, Dana.

0:03:33.200 --> 0:03:35.640
<v Speaker 1>Okay, does Dana know you have a crush on her.

0:03:36.200 --> 0:03:38.240
<v Speaker 4>She does because I actually asked her out in a

0:03:38.240 --> 0:03:39.760
<v Speaker 4>work event at a year ago.

0:03:40.720 --> 0:03:43.080
<v Speaker 3>Okay, how long ago?

0:03:44.000 --> 0:03:44.760
<v Speaker 4>About a year ago?

0:03:45.080 --> 0:03:47.760
<v Speaker 1>A year ago, so it didn't turn into anything.

0:03:48.360 --> 0:03:50.200
<v Speaker 4>Now, she actually had a boyfriend at the time, so

0:03:50.360 --> 0:03:53.600
<v Speaker 4>she said no, thank you, but I would if I

0:03:53.680 --> 0:03:59.160
<v Speaker 4>wasn't in a relationship, so she was nice about it. Yeah.

0:03:59.320 --> 0:04:03.160
<v Speaker 4>So a year later, I'm kind of out of the blue,

0:04:03.440 --> 0:04:06.400
<v Speaker 4>I get a message from her and she wants me

0:04:06.440 --> 0:04:09.040
<v Speaker 4>to meet her outside. And we have food trucks outside

0:04:09.040 --> 0:04:10.840
<v Speaker 4>of our buildings, so she asked me to come meet

0:04:10.840 --> 0:04:13.440
<v Speaker 4>her outside by the food truck. So excited, I'm like,

0:04:13.440 --> 0:04:15.360
<v Speaker 4>I've always liked this girl. You know, I'm still single,

0:04:15.400 --> 0:04:16.920
<v Speaker 4>so maybe something exchanged.

0:04:17.120 --> 0:04:19.480
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, maybe she broke up with her boyfriend. Yeah

0:04:19.560 --> 0:04:19.719
<v Speaker 1>you know.

0:04:20.279 --> 0:04:23.360
<v Speaker 4>Yeah yeah. So turns out she needed a plus one

0:04:23.360 --> 0:04:25.479
<v Speaker 4>for a wedding that she was going to that Saturday.

0:04:26.400 --> 0:04:30.040
<v Speaker 6>Wow, wedding dates a legit invite.

0:04:30.640 --> 0:04:33.080
<v Speaker 1>That is her opening, right, just single.

0:04:33.160 --> 0:04:36.080
<v Speaker 4>Then at the time, I wasn't sure, and I really

0:04:36.080 --> 0:04:37.200
<v Speaker 4>didn't want to ask that question.

0:04:37.560 --> 0:04:40.040
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, I feel like if I don't ask and

0:04:40.080 --> 0:04:40.880
<v Speaker 2>I don't have to know.

0:04:41.600 --> 0:04:44.680
<v Speaker 4>Right, Yes, I wasn't sure, and uh, I just kind

0:04:44.680 --> 0:04:47.440
<v Speaker 4>of wanted to find out and see, and I legitimately

0:04:47.480 --> 0:04:48.880
<v Speaker 4>could not say yes quick enough.

0:04:50.880 --> 0:04:54.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm still hoping she's single, and so I can say, oh, yeah,

0:04:54.560 --> 0:04:55.400
<v Speaker 2>so have you.

0:04:55.400 --> 0:04:56.560
<v Speaker 3>Gone to the wedding yet or no?

0:04:57.240 --> 0:04:59.960
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, so I canceled my plans. I was excited to go.

0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:01.320
<v Speaker 4>Oh I had plans already.

0:05:01.040 --> 0:05:03.119
<v Speaker 3>But they can wait totally right.

0:05:03.240 --> 0:05:05.360
<v Speaker 4>So I went to the wedding, and I did find

0:05:05.360 --> 0:05:06.360
<v Speaker 4>out that they broke up.

0:05:06.800 --> 0:05:13.040
<v Speaker 3>Yes, horrible. You're talking about Dana and her boyfriend.

0:05:13.080 --> 0:05:14.320
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, dated her boyfriend.

0:05:14.480 --> 0:05:16.680
<v Speaker 3>Dude, that's awesome and lining up for you.

0:05:16.880 --> 0:05:18.760
<v Speaker 2>I feel like you had to like restrain yourself when

0:05:18.760 --> 0:05:22.840
<v Speaker 2>she said yeah, we broke up, You're like, oh, pump

0:05:22.920 --> 0:05:23.600
<v Speaker 2>under the table.

0:05:24.680 --> 0:05:26.200
<v Speaker 4>I pretended to feel sad about it.

0:05:26.320 --> 0:05:28.320
<v Speaker 1>Good job, what you're supposed to do.

0:05:29.560 --> 0:05:31.599
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, And we had a great time. And it was

0:05:31.640 --> 0:05:34.960
<v Speaker 4>our friend from college's wedding. We were dancing, drinking, had

0:05:34.960 --> 0:05:36.400
<v Speaker 4>a flirty vibe between us.

0:05:36.480 --> 0:05:39.760
<v Speaker 6>Oh good, Yeah, this is random, But like, how were

0:05:39.800 --> 0:05:41.360
<v Speaker 6>you associating with her other friends?

0:05:41.600 --> 0:05:43.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah? I guess that they will give you a good

0:05:43.440 --> 0:05:46.120
<v Speaker 3>read into how there will, like the vibe is between

0:05:46.160 --> 0:05:47.839
<v Speaker 3>you and her, if you're able to get along with

0:05:47.880 --> 0:05:50.000
<v Speaker 3>her friends mutually, yeah.

0:05:50.040 --> 0:05:50.240
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

0:05:50.240 --> 0:05:52.320
<v Speaker 4>We were all drinking at the bar, having a good time,

0:05:52.680 --> 0:05:53.640
<v Speaker 4>good great size.

0:05:53.680 --> 0:05:55.320
<v Speaker 1>Okay, where does the money sign?

0:05:56.440 --> 0:05:58.599
<v Speaker 2>Like? This is feeling like a second date update, not

0:05:58.680 --> 0:05:59.880
<v Speaker 2>a for Tuesday.

0:06:00.680 --> 0:06:02.119
<v Speaker 4>Oh I'm getting there, don't worry.

0:06:02.360 --> 0:06:03.600
<v Speaker 1>Oh you're life Okay.

0:06:04.000 --> 0:06:05.560
<v Speaker 4>At the end of the night, we had a hug.

0:06:05.640 --> 0:06:07.200
<v Speaker 4>I could have went for the kids, but I didn't,

0:06:07.240 --> 0:06:10.080
<v Speaker 4>you know, out of disrespect. We were drinking and I

0:06:10.120 --> 0:06:12.160
<v Speaker 4>answered to hang out next weekend and she said she

0:06:12.160 --> 0:06:13.000
<v Speaker 4>would really like that.

0:06:13.279 --> 0:06:13.599
<v Speaker 1>Cool.

0:06:13.880 --> 0:06:14.279
<v Speaker 3>Okay.

0:06:14.520 --> 0:06:16.839
<v Speaker 4>Then two days later it happened.

0:06:17.360 --> 0:06:18.200
<v Speaker 1>What did who?

0:06:20.000 --> 0:06:23.520
<v Speaker 4>I got a Venmo request asking for one hundred and

0:06:23.520 --> 0:06:25.880
<v Speaker 4>fifty dollars to cover my wedding guest feet?

0:06:26.480 --> 0:06:30.560
<v Speaker 1>Oh what from who? It wasn't from her? It was

0:06:30.560 --> 0:06:30.920
<v Speaker 1>from her?

0:06:31.000 --> 0:06:32.119
<v Speaker 4>It was from It was from Dana.

0:06:32.400 --> 0:06:35.160
<v Speaker 3>Yeh wow, I've never even heard of that.

0:06:35.279 --> 0:06:36.720
<v Speaker 1>Did she Venmo the wrong person?

0:06:37.279 --> 0:06:39.440
<v Speaker 4>I texted her and I said, are you sure this

0:06:39.560 --> 0:06:41.320
<v Speaker 4>is for me? I thought maybe it couldn't be for me,

0:06:41.760 --> 0:06:44.080
<v Speaker 4>and she said it's from both of us.

0:06:44.320 --> 0:06:46.840
<v Speaker 3>We will wait wait, so we will.

0:06:46.960 --> 0:06:49.080
<v Speaker 2>I guess it makes sense if the bride didn't like this,

0:06:49.120 --> 0:06:51.800
<v Speaker 2>she didn't bring a boyfriend, he said, wedding gift. It

0:06:51.839 --> 0:06:54.560
<v Speaker 2>sounds like there that she's making him pay for the.

0:06:54.480 --> 0:06:58.080
<v Speaker 1>Wedding gift that she gave her friend from college.

0:06:58.200 --> 0:06:59.400
<v Speaker 3>Is that what you said? Gift?

0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:00.359
<v Speaker 5>Know what?

0:07:00.560 --> 0:07:04.440
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, wedding costs, guest cost guest wedding.

0:07:04.200 --> 0:07:05.440
<v Speaker 1>Guess what is that? Then?

0:07:06.520 --> 0:07:10.720
<v Speaker 3>I'm not sure to be okay, So what is it

0:07:10.760 --> 0:07:12.640
<v Speaker 3>that you want to do with your awkward Tuesday phone

0:07:12.680 --> 0:07:12.920
<v Speaker 3>call that?

0:07:13.920 --> 0:07:15.520
<v Speaker 4>I mean, I kind of just want to know what

0:07:15.680 --> 0:07:19.600
<v Speaker 4>the costs are for? Why am I paying them? Yeah,

0:07:19.760 --> 0:07:22.600
<v Speaker 4>you invited me to a wedding, Like she's hugely like,

0:07:22.640 --> 0:07:23.800
<v Speaker 4>I want to know what's going on.

0:07:23.840 --> 0:07:24.960
<v Speaker 1>It's like her okay, I.

0:07:24.960 --> 0:07:26.840
<v Speaker 3>Mean, it would make sense if he was getting an

0:07:26.880 --> 0:07:29.880
<v Speaker 3>invoice from the bride and groom directly and that was

0:07:29.960 --> 0:07:32.320
<v Speaker 3>their issue, But the fact that it's coming from Dana

0:07:32.800 --> 0:07:34.440
<v Speaker 3>that makes it really really weird.

0:07:34.720 --> 0:07:38.200
<v Speaker 2>Well, and there's no explanation. She's treated that like that's

0:07:38.200 --> 0:07:39.560
<v Speaker 2>an obvious Like yeah.

0:07:39.920 --> 0:07:42.400
<v Speaker 3>Like she said for food or for a give or.

0:07:42.320 --> 0:07:44.080
<v Speaker 2>Maybe there was like a cash bar and you didn't

0:07:44.120 --> 0:07:47.640
<v Speaker 2>realize oh yeah, you know, like maybe the drinks cost

0:07:47.720 --> 0:07:48.080
<v Speaker 2>that night.

0:07:48.240 --> 0:07:48.560
<v Speaker 4>Maybe.

0:07:49.200 --> 0:07:51.200
<v Speaker 3>But he wants to keep the chance of a romantic

0:07:51.240 --> 0:07:53.520
<v Speaker 3>connection alive. So we're going to come back and figure

0:07:53.560 --> 0:07:58.280
<v Speaker 3>out some ways to flirtily sexily ask her about Hey,

0:07:58.280 --> 0:08:00.760
<v Speaker 3>what's the one hundred and fifty dollars charge? He sent me?

0:08:00.800 --> 0:08:04.120
<v Speaker 6>All about flirty conflict this you, Jeff.

0:08:04.040 --> 0:08:06.800
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, we'll come back with some advice for you for

0:08:06.840 --> 0:08:11.120
<v Speaker 3>your awkward Tuesday phone call right after this. It's awkward.

0:08:11.360 --> 0:08:16.520
<v Speaker 3>It's it's awkward Tuesday phone call. If you're just joining

0:08:16.600 --> 0:08:19.360
<v Speaker 3>us for the awkward Tuesday phone call not only as

0:08:19.400 --> 0:08:22.560
<v Speaker 3>a friendship on the line, but a possible love connection

0:08:23.160 --> 0:08:27.360
<v Speaker 3>between our listener Nick and his coworker Dana. There's been

0:08:27.400 --> 0:08:31.560
<v Speaker 3>some unspoken feelings happening there. So when she asked him

0:08:31.560 --> 0:08:34.640
<v Speaker 3>to be her plus one to a wedding recently, that

0:08:34.880 --> 0:08:36.480
<v Speaker 3>was his golden opportunity.

0:08:36.559 --> 0:08:37.880
<v Speaker 1>Oh, he was so excited.

0:08:38.480 --> 0:08:41.800
<v Speaker 3>The weird part is afterwards, Dana sent him a one

0:08:41.920 --> 0:08:45.960
<v Speaker 3>hundred and fifty dollars invoice to cover their wedding guest fees.

0:08:46.320 --> 0:08:47.560
<v Speaker 1>We still don't know what that means.

0:08:47.679 --> 0:08:50.520
<v Speaker 3>Nobody knows what that means, least of all Nick, and

0:08:50.559 --> 0:08:52.480
<v Speaker 3>it just felt wrong to him because he was the

0:08:52.520 --> 0:08:54.720
<v Speaker 3>plus one. He didn't even know who the bride and

0:08:54.760 --> 0:08:58.040
<v Speaker 3>groom were. That's why he wanted our help today to

0:08:58.160 --> 0:09:01.000
<v Speaker 3>bring it up to Dana. And figure it out while

0:09:01.040 --> 0:09:04.640
<v Speaker 3>still keeping his chances with her alive. Honestly, though, Nick,

0:09:04.679 --> 0:09:07.400
<v Speaker 3>if you really want this woman to like you, maybe

0:09:07.440 --> 0:09:10.120
<v Speaker 3>the best answer is just eat that one hundred and

0:09:10.120 --> 0:09:12.760
<v Speaker 3>fifty dollars and don't make this phone call.

0:09:12.800 --> 0:09:15.040
<v Speaker 2>I was gonna say no, you guys, this sets the

0:09:15.120 --> 0:09:17.000
<v Speaker 2>tone for the entire relationship.

0:09:17.200 --> 0:09:19.200
<v Speaker 1>Honestly, he takes care of his lady.

0:09:19.320 --> 0:09:22.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, she'll like that about you. Yeah, okay, Brook, you

0:09:22.480 --> 0:09:24.480
<v Speaker 3>have better advice for him? What's do?

0:09:24.559 --> 0:09:26.120
<v Speaker 1>I think you should get out of pen and write

0:09:26.120 --> 0:09:29.040
<v Speaker 1>down my question right now? Seriously, Brook, nobody writes with

0:09:29.080 --> 0:09:29.600
<v Speaker 1>pen and paper.

0:09:29.640 --> 0:09:32.600
<v Speaker 2>Just write on your phone and okay, okay, I need

0:09:32.679 --> 0:09:35.440
<v Speaker 2>to ask her, Nick, why pay her half?

0:09:35.720 --> 0:09:35.960
<v Speaker 5>Oh?

0:09:36.080 --> 0:09:38.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, seriously? Why pay her half?

0:09:38.760 --> 0:09:42.160
<v Speaker 2>Because she said that it's for me as well. Right,

0:09:42.520 --> 0:09:46.960
<v Speaker 2>so she invited you, it's her friend. Sure she should

0:09:47.000 --> 0:09:48.240
<v Speaker 2>be paying for you.

0:09:48.280 --> 0:09:50.319
<v Speaker 1>But but in the least, why do you have to

0:09:50.320 --> 0:09:52.400
<v Speaker 1>pay her wedding fee? That doesn't make any sense.

0:09:53.080 --> 0:09:55.760
<v Speaker 3>Are you saying that on a date? Brook? You wouldn't

0:09:55.760 --> 0:09:57.720
<v Speaker 3>make your husband Michael pay for stuff.

0:09:57.880 --> 0:09:58.680
<v Speaker 1>This isn't a date.

0:09:58.760 --> 0:10:01.720
<v Speaker 2>This is a wedding and this is her friends like

0:10:01.720 --> 0:10:03.320
<v Speaker 2>bridy grooms do weird things.

0:10:03.400 --> 0:10:04.080
<v Speaker 1>All the time.

0:10:06.360 --> 0:10:08.480
<v Speaker 3>When you and Michael are at a wedding, all bets

0:10:08.480 --> 0:10:12.520
<v Speaker 3>are off. You guys aren't together, you have separate entities,

0:10:12.600 --> 0:10:16.480
<v Speaker 3>and whatever happens just happened. I see what you're saying.

0:10:16.600 --> 0:10:19.280
<v Speaker 3>B take that in mind, Jose, what's your advice?

0:10:19.520 --> 0:10:20.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't understand.

0:10:21.000 --> 0:10:23.600
<v Speaker 6>I get it, Jose, you are going to do something

0:10:23.640 --> 0:10:27.439
<v Speaker 6>really unconventional here. Okay, you're gonna thank her immediately?

0:10:28.080 --> 0:10:28.400
<v Speaker 1>Really?

0:10:28.440 --> 0:10:28.680
<v Speaker 2>Why?

0:10:28.760 --> 0:10:29.360
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah?

0:10:29.400 --> 0:10:30.600
<v Speaker 4>Why why would I think her?

0:10:30.679 --> 0:10:32.959
<v Speaker 6>Well this, it's a positive tone. Immediately you're like, hey,

0:10:32.960 --> 0:10:35.000
<v Speaker 6>thank you so much for that. I didn't even think

0:10:35.080 --> 0:10:37.480
<v Speaker 6>to ask if I owed you any money? And then

0:10:38.080 --> 0:10:40.160
<v Speaker 6>maybe guess what you think it's for.

0:10:40.480 --> 0:10:43.600
<v Speaker 3>Rather than accusing her of what it's for, you're like

0:10:43.640 --> 0:10:46.760
<v Speaker 3>disarming her with a compliment before you come in with

0:10:46.840 --> 0:10:48.400
<v Speaker 3>the real question. Oh my gosh, I must have.

0:10:49.320 --> 0:10:51.000
<v Speaker 6>Yes, it must have been a wedding gift.

0:10:51.240 --> 0:10:53.000
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it could get you the answers you want

0:10:53.080 --> 0:10:56.160
<v Speaker 2>of what it's for, but it definitely doesn't get you.

0:10:56.120 --> 0:10:59.280
<v Speaker 1>Out of pain for it.

0:11:00.120 --> 0:11:03.640
<v Speaker 6>One step at a time, for happy, keep the vibes positive.

0:11:03.800 --> 0:11:05.800
<v Speaker 3>What do you think you feel like that's helping you out?

0:11:05.800 --> 0:11:06.520
<v Speaker 3>Before you make your.

0:11:06.400 --> 0:11:09.960
<v Speaker 4>Call here, yeah, I guess I'm still very confused on

0:11:10.080 --> 0:11:12.040
<v Speaker 4>why I got a bill. I guess I would all

0:11:12.080 --> 0:11:12.880
<v Speaker 4>figure out in the moment.

0:11:13.160 --> 0:11:14.960
<v Speaker 3>But we've given you the tools to be able to

0:11:14.960 --> 0:11:19.080
<v Speaker 3>hopefully handle this conversation without making it too awkward between

0:11:19.120 --> 0:11:19.720
<v Speaker 3>you and Dana.

0:11:19.800 --> 0:11:22.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm so curious how you're going to feel after you

0:11:22.640 --> 0:11:24.080
<v Speaker 2>hear her answers, And I.

0:11:24.120 --> 0:11:26.280
<v Speaker 1>Wonder what the is seven five each is a pretty

0:11:26.320 --> 0:11:27.439
<v Speaker 1>good deal for a wedding, just.

0:11:27.360 --> 0:11:33.640
<v Speaker 3>Saying you're lucky that she didn't invoice you to pay

0:11:33.640 --> 0:11:37.199
<v Speaker 3>for her dress also, so count your blessings. But we're

0:11:37.200 --> 0:11:39.680
<v Speaker 3>going to dial her number right now. Hopefully she picks

0:11:39.720 --> 0:11:41.160
<v Speaker 3>up and you can make your awkward call. But here

0:11:41.160 --> 0:11:41.400
<v Speaker 3>you go.

0:11:48.559 --> 0:11:51.600
<v Speaker 4>Hello, Hey, Dana, it's Nick. How you doing.

0:11:52.440 --> 0:11:55.719
<v Speaker 5>Hi, Nick, I'm great, It's great to hear from you.

0:11:55.720 --> 0:11:57.080
<v Speaker 4>You too. How's everything going.

0:11:58.160 --> 0:12:01.360
<v Speaker 5>It's going pretty well. Just working like usual, as you know.

0:12:02.960 --> 0:12:05.840
<v Speaker 4>Yep, yep, just another day on the grind.

0:12:08.240 --> 0:12:11.640
<v Speaker 5>What we do. So what's up? Are we still getting

0:12:11.640 --> 0:12:12.640
<v Speaker 5>together for lunch today?

0:12:12.760 --> 0:12:16.200
<v Speaker 4>Or yeah? Yeah? I mean I had a great time

0:12:16.240 --> 0:12:18.800
<v Speaker 4>the other night, and I want to thank you first

0:12:18.800 --> 0:12:21.360
<v Speaker 4>for the invite in the party. I had a great time,

0:12:21.400 --> 0:12:24.160
<v Speaker 4>and I just I kind of apologize for not asking

0:12:24.360 --> 0:12:25.920
<v Speaker 4>what I owed for the event, because I know I

0:12:25.960 --> 0:12:28.560
<v Speaker 4>got that invoice, so I didn't know. I wanted to

0:12:28.559 --> 0:12:30.000
<v Speaker 4>find out more like what's going on?

0:12:31.080 --> 0:12:34.640
<v Speaker 5>Oh yeah, well you know the bride she sent me

0:12:34.679 --> 0:12:37.080
<v Speaker 5>an invoice and actually charged me seventy five dollars for

0:12:37.160 --> 0:12:41.040
<v Speaker 5>each of us. Oh wow, you probably wanted to know that.

0:12:42.400 --> 0:12:45.640
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I just kind of came out of nowhere. When

0:12:45.640 --> 0:12:47.960
<v Speaker 4>you go to a wedding, you don't you know someone's

0:12:48.000 --> 0:12:50.240
<v Speaker 4>taking you, you don't really think about paying. So but

0:12:50.360 --> 0:12:52.920
<v Speaker 4>I also just I should have asked if I, you know,

0:12:53.000 --> 0:12:54.920
<v Speaker 4>owed anything, because I love hanging out with you, and

0:12:55.440 --> 0:12:57.520
<v Speaker 4>you know, I never want to chalk in between that,

0:12:57.679 --> 0:12:57.840
<v Speaker 4>you know.

0:12:58.679 --> 0:13:00.800
<v Speaker 5>I mean maybe I read the situation wrong. I mean

0:13:00.920 --> 0:13:02.760
<v Speaker 5>I kind of thought that we were on a date,

0:13:03.520 --> 0:13:06.200
<v Speaker 5>and typically whenever I go on dates, guys will usually pay.

0:13:07.400 --> 0:13:09.880
<v Speaker 5>Are you saying you wouldn't want to pay if we

0:13:09.880 --> 0:13:10.720
<v Speaker 5>were on a date.

0:13:11.640 --> 0:13:13.640
<v Speaker 4>I was a date, I think it would be different.

0:13:13.640 --> 0:13:15.920
<v Speaker 4>I just kind of you kind of invited me, and

0:13:15.960 --> 0:13:18.360
<v Speaker 4>I didn't know if it was you were considering it

0:13:18.400 --> 0:13:20.360
<v Speaker 4>a date or if it was I don't know, just

0:13:20.400 --> 0:13:22.280
<v Speaker 4>kind of came out of left field. A little context

0:13:22.280 --> 0:13:23.240
<v Speaker 4>probably would have helped. You know.

0:13:23.920 --> 0:13:26.480
<v Speaker 5>Oh that's interesting. It kind of feels like you're criticizing

0:13:26.480 --> 0:13:27.400
<v Speaker 5>how I handled it.

0:13:29.120 --> 0:13:32.280
<v Speaker 4>Not trying to criticize, just kind of thinking out loud

0:13:32.320 --> 0:13:34.240
<v Speaker 4>and just trying to get some more information. You know.

0:13:35.520 --> 0:13:37.520
<v Speaker 5>Well, ever, since I broke up with my boyfriend, I've

0:13:37.520 --> 0:13:40.040
<v Speaker 5>been on quite a few other dates, and guys are

0:13:40.080 --> 0:13:43.160
<v Speaker 5>just notoriously cheap, And that's why I'm just so glad

0:13:43.200 --> 0:13:44.640
<v Speaker 5>that I'm getting to spend time with you. You know,

0:13:44.640 --> 0:13:46.600
<v Speaker 5>you have so much integrity and you really know how

0:13:46.600 --> 0:13:47.240
<v Speaker 5>to treat a woman.

0:13:49.440 --> 0:13:50.800
<v Speaker 4>Well, I appreciate that.

0:13:52.559 --> 0:13:54.400
<v Speaker 5>So if you wanted to spend more than one hundred

0:13:54.400 --> 0:13:56.240
<v Speaker 5>and fifty, you know, I did have to uber home

0:13:56.280 --> 0:13:58.840
<v Speaker 5>that night, and there were just a couple other expenses.

0:14:01.440 --> 0:14:05.880
<v Speaker 5>Oh man, Nick, you're not saying a lot. Is there

0:14:05.880 --> 0:14:07.520
<v Speaker 5>a problem? Like what's going on?

0:14:08.720 --> 0:14:13.439
<v Speaker 4>So? Uh, that's a little that's a little outlandish, that's

0:14:13.440 --> 0:14:14.040
<v Speaker 4>a little crazy.

0:14:16.440 --> 0:14:19.400
<v Speaker 5>It's outlandish. Is Atlantis to want to take care of

0:14:19.440 --> 0:14:21.200
<v Speaker 5>me to make sure that I get home safe? Like

0:14:21.240 --> 0:14:23.320
<v Speaker 5>you wouldn't just want to spend a little extra money.

0:14:23.960 --> 0:14:25.880
<v Speaker 5>Maybe you're not the person that I thought you weren't.

0:14:25.920 --> 0:14:26.120
<v Speaker 4>Nick.

0:14:26.320 --> 0:14:33.640
<v Speaker 2>Oh god, god, Nick, that is terribless.

0:14:35.680 --> 0:14:38.080
<v Speaker 5>No, not, Hey, what's going on?

0:14:38.120 --> 0:14:38.600
<v Speaker 1>Who is that?

0:14:39.720 --> 0:14:39.920
<v Speaker 4>Hell?

0:14:40.440 --> 0:14:42.120
<v Speaker 1>That was so manipulative, Dana.

0:14:43.680 --> 0:14:47.960
<v Speaker 3>We're all very impressed with you, Dana, because, yeah, you're

0:14:47.960 --> 0:14:50.080
<v Speaker 3>on a radio show right now called Brook and Jeffrey

0:14:50.080 --> 0:14:50.320
<v Speaker 3>in the.

0:14:50.240 --> 0:14:52.480
<v Speaker 2>Morning, a radio show.

0:14:53.000 --> 0:14:54.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Nick's there too.

0:14:55.200 --> 0:14:56.520
<v Speaker 5>Nick, Why would you do this?

0:14:56.520 --> 0:14:57.440
<v Speaker 2>This is between you and me.

0:14:57.480 --> 0:15:00.600
<v Speaker 5>Why would you call a radio show? What is happening?

0:15:01.600 --> 0:15:04.080
<v Speaker 4>It just kind of was taken off guard. I was

0:15:04.160 --> 0:15:07.000
<v Speaker 4>kind of confused on the whole situation, and I needed help.

0:15:07.040 --> 0:15:08.520
<v Speaker 4>I called them to help me because I really like

0:15:08.600 --> 0:15:10.520
<v Speaker 4>you and I wanted to continue our relationship and I

0:15:10.640 --> 0:15:11.720
<v Speaker 4>didn't want to make it awkward.

0:15:11.840 --> 0:15:14.080
<v Speaker 5>So, yeah, you don't like me enough to pay for

0:15:14.120 --> 0:15:16.120
<v Speaker 5>my uber to get home safe, So I guess that's

0:15:16.160 --> 0:15:16.680
<v Speaker 5>clear enough.

0:15:18.080 --> 0:15:20.080
<v Speaker 1>Or even go to the wedding and uber home regardless.

0:15:20.320 --> 0:15:23.560
<v Speaker 2>There, dam How does that have any indication of whether

0:15:23.640 --> 0:15:24.600
<v Speaker 2>or not he likes you.

0:15:24.600 --> 0:15:26.720
<v Speaker 1>You guys work at the same place. You probably make

0:15:26.800 --> 0:15:30.120
<v Speaker 1>around the same amount of money, like pay for yourself.

0:15:30.720 --> 0:15:32.800
<v Speaker 5>First of all, I don't know who the hell you are.

0:15:34.080 --> 0:15:37.160
<v Speaker 5>And certain women have standards. It sounds like you have none.

0:15:37.280 --> 0:15:40.520
<v Speaker 1>No, certain women have independence, and you need some.

0:15:40.800 --> 0:15:43.920
<v Speaker 5>Excuse me, No, do you know what year it is, Grandma.

0:15:44.000 --> 0:15:45.640
<v Speaker 5>Women are still to be taking care of.

0:15:46.160 --> 0:15:50.200
<v Speaker 2>Taking care of Okay, we're back into the nineteen ten.

0:15:49.840 --> 0:15:52.600
<v Speaker 3>Is enough of to pull yourself up by your own bootsteps.

0:15:52.600 --> 0:15:55.640
<v Speaker 1>It's not that pay for. You invited him to the wedding.

0:15:56.440 --> 0:16:02.119
<v Speaker 3>Let us puts we want to lift you to greatness.

0:16:02.120 --> 0:16:02.960
<v Speaker 3>That's what tells me.

0:16:04.280 --> 0:16:07.640
<v Speaker 4>Okay, hey, so yeah, these people were trying to give

0:16:07.680 --> 0:16:09.760
<v Speaker 4>me a hand. But you know, I'm sorry, Dana. I

0:16:09.800 --> 0:16:11.280
<v Speaker 4>want to take responsibility for it.

0:16:11.320 --> 0:16:11.480
<v Speaker 2>You know.

0:16:12.240 --> 0:16:14.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that's nice, that's really nice.

0:16:15.080 --> 0:16:15.880
<v Speaker 4>I could have been better.

0:16:16.400 --> 0:16:20.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Now, why are you taking blame for this?

0:16:21.480 --> 0:16:23.680
<v Speaker 4>I mean, Brook, you're ganging up on her. You're getting

0:16:23.760 --> 0:16:26.200
<v Speaker 4>up on the team, and me, I came here as

0:16:26.200 --> 0:16:27.720
<v Speaker 4>a guest. I don't have to put up with this.

0:16:28.840 --> 0:16:31.280
<v Speaker 3>Up for you, No, he does. He wants to stand

0:16:31.360 --> 0:16:33.480
<v Speaker 3>up for Dana because he was her date.

0:16:33.680 --> 0:16:37.239
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and so at the beginning, this is what you want.

0:16:38.000 --> 0:16:40.560
<v Speaker 5>That is how women should be treated. Thank you, Nick.

0:16:40.680 --> 0:16:43.680
<v Speaker 3>Okay, we'll start. I'll come into an agreement here. So

0:16:43.720 --> 0:16:45.520
<v Speaker 3>at the start of this I suggested you eat one

0:16:45.600 --> 0:16:47.560
<v Speaker 3>hundred and fifty dollars, but it sounds like you need

0:16:47.600 --> 0:16:49.920
<v Speaker 3>to do a little bit more to how much money

0:16:49.960 --> 0:16:52.440
<v Speaker 3>are you willing to cost towards her and venmo to

0:16:52.600 --> 0:16:54.080
<v Speaker 3>prove how good of a date you are?

0:16:54.520 --> 0:16:56.480
<v Speaker 4>Whatever she needs to feel comfortable here.

0:16:56.800 --> 0:16:58.760
<v Speaker 3>Wow, you just want a good guy.

0:16:58.880 --> 0:17:01.600
<v Speaker 2>You're just buying her affection at this point. That is

0:17:01.640 --> 0:17:02.400
<v Speaker 2>not worth it.

0:17:02.400 --> 0:17:03.720
<v Speaker 1>It won't last in the end.

0:17:03.960 --> 0:17:06.119
<v Speaker 3>Brook, you're not dating anymore. I don't think you have

0:17:06.160 --> 0:17:09.200
<v Speaker 3>any You you checked out thirteen years ago from this

0:17:09.760 --> 0:17:15.439
<v Speaker 3>ral with my seventy dollars wine decant. That's payment for that.

0:17:15.720 --> 0:17:18.439
<v Speaker 2>So you know after this, I'm venmoing you a charge

0:17:18.480 --> 0:17:21.440
<v Speaker 2>for attending my wedding and that's just Nick.

0:17:21.480 --> 0:17:23.000
<v Speaker 3>You're going to cover that cost from me, right, Bro,

0:17:23.960 --> 0:17:24.640
<v Speaker 3>it's about love.

0:17:25.200 --> 0:17:27.600
<v Speaker 4>I don't have you, but I do have Dana. Dana,

0:17:27.680 --> 0:17:28.360
<v Speaker 4>You and I are good.

0:17:28.440 --> 0:17:31.560
<v Speaker 3>Oh wow, what a gentleman, Dana. You landed a good

0:17:31.560 --> 0:17:33.240
<v Speaker 3>one there. Yeah, chivalry Ison dead?

0:17:33.400 --> 0:17:34.160
<v Speaker 1>What romos?

0:17:34.600 --> 0:17:34.760
<v Speaker 4>Nick?

0:17:34.880 --> 0:17:37.080
<v Speaker 5>Don't listen to him. I'll see you at lunch. You're

0:17:37.119 --> 0:17:37.720
<v Speaker 5>paying Okay?

0:17:37.840 --> 0:17:41.200
<v Speaker 2>Now, you actually do sound like Jeffrey.

0:17:41.720 --> 0:17:42.760
<v Speaker 3>You should be so lucky.

0:17:43.080 --> 0:17:43.320
<v Speaker 2>Brook.

0:17:43.400 --> 0:17:46.040
<v Speaker 3>It Jeffrey in the morning, and we don't have Dana

0:17:46.119 --> 0:17:48.280
<v Speaker 3>on the phone with us anymore. But it sounds like

0:17:48.680 --> 0:17:52.720
<v Speaker 3>Dana was used to more of the traditional style of

0:17:52.760 --> 0:17:55.480
<v Speaker 3>a relationship where all the men are expected to pay

0:17:55.480 --> 0:17:58.320
<v Speaker 3>for dates, and that's not what everybody wants, but it's

0:17:58.359 --> 0:18:02.040
<v Speaker 3>probably how she was raised and what she is hoping

0:18:02.119 --> 0:18:03.399
<v Speaker 3>for in a relationship.

0:18:03.680 --> 0:18:05.800
<v Speaker 2>It just sounds like she's cheap to me. She doesn't

0:18:05.840 --> 0:18:08.040
<v Speaker 2>even pay her own bill at or friend's wedding. I

0:18:08.080 --> 0:18:10.480
<v Speaker 2>think that she knew that her friends were going to

0:18:10.560 --> 0:18:13.240
<v Speaker 2>charge for that wedding and she had she had to

0:18:13.280 --> 0:18:14.639
<v Speaker 2>find the sucker to pay for it.

0:18:14.760 --> 0:18:16.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's what I think.

0:18:16.880 --> 0:18:20.359
<v Speaker 3>That's possible. Sure, or it could just be like she

0:18:20.520 --> 0:18:22.439
<v Speaker 3>was saying, that's how she was raised and that's what

0:18:22.480 --> 0:18:23.560
<v Speaker 3>she expects from a guy.

0:18:24.359 --> 0:18:25.360
<v Speaker 1>Consider a date too.

0:18:25.600 --> 0:18:29.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, date, He wasn't sure, but he heard Dana's explanation

0:18:29.280 --> 0:18:31.120
<v Speaker 3>and then he eventually came around on it.

0:18:31.480 --> 0:18:35.680
<v Speaker 1>He eventually came around coward coward.

0:18:35.359 --> 0:18:38.159
<v Speaker 3>To her, like every woman wants a good man to

0:18:38.240 --> 0:18:43.800
<v Speaker 3>do absolutely so, as long as expectations are laid out

0:18:43.800 --> 0:18:45.800
<v Speaker 3>ahead of time, it's really up to Nick to say

0:18:45.920 --> 0:18:46.680
<v Speaker 3>yes or no.

0:18:47.000 --> 0:18:49.040
<v Speaker 1>Well, he does finally know and we did help him

0:18:49.080 --> 0:18:49.280
<v Speaker 1>with that.

0:18:49.560 --> 0:18:52.119
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, for sure, because it's his life and he chose

0:18:52.160 --> 0:18:55.520
<v Speaker 3>to pay for it and for her life. Too, and

0:18:55.600 --> 0:19:00.159
<v Speaker 3>that's true happiness. So hopefully we helped him achieve something

0:19:00.240 --> 0:19:01.400
<v Speaker 3>that he felt was positive.

0:19:01.480 --> 0:19:03.679
<v Speaker 1>I'm glad you're taking such a noble stance on this.
