Speaker 4: not unique to this experience, but I am a certified

20
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 4: people pleaser and being a people pleaser is not going

21
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:01,280

Speaker 4: far you know, Fred is gonna have to drive, or

26

31
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 1: With the venue.

32
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:27,400
Speaker 4: However, it is now time to select the bridal party,

33
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 4: and I can't do this. I really just want to

34
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 4: put a filler out there. Actually, right now, this is

35
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 4: a message. If you think that you should be in

36
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,840

Speaker 1: else who else has a problem with it? After me?

39
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 3: So you feel that you should be in Big Tim's

40
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 3: bridal party?

41
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:48,120

00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 1: know Big Tim because you've never introduced with Jym, so

43
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:51,560

44
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:53,320

46
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: But I don't even know what we're talking about. That.

47
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 1: So let's move on to other people who are disgruntled.

48
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 3: Well, it can't just.

49
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 4: Be you, So, like, I need to know who else

50
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 4: wants to be in this bridal party, so that I

51
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 4: can make sure that I don't exclude anyone, because you know,

52
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 4: I was.

53
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 1: A wage sister. Ryan, you're you're a photographer and personal

54
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,320

00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 3: His personal assistant.

56
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 1: But yeah, and then I don't know who else. I mean,

57
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 1: that's it right. I'm sure you know some other people.

58
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 4: I don't know, but I don't understand how brides narrow

59
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 4: this whole thing down. And Pauline, I know you've been

60
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 4: through this. Yeah, at your girls in their power suits,

61
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 4: I sure did. Was anyone left out or mad that

62
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:33,839
Speaker 4: they didn't get a pink power suit?

63
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 3: Or like, how did you make how did you make

64
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 3: the decision?

65
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 1: Girl?

66
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 4: Because I can't make a decision to save my life,

67
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 4: I feel like they should tell me if they want

68
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 4: to rock with me.

69
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I hear that. I don't think anybody was mad.

70
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 2: Nobody vocalized they were mad, and like to be honest,

71
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:49,799
Speaker 2: like at this big age, like it's probably lowki a

72
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 2: bigger blessing not to be earls because I see how

73
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:52,480

Speaker 1: Being a guest.

76
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 2: It's very expensive and That's why I was very I

77
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:01,959
Speaker 2: was like, Hey, we're gonna go to sheen dot com.

Speaker 2: gonna wear that. And I bought them like vans, like

80
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 2: matching fans is a gift or whatever. That's all I wanted,

81
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 2: right because I was like, I know this is very expensive.

82
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 2: But I did have a big bridal party that I

83
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 2: look at it. I had like what six friends and

84
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 2: three family members. Okay, so it's nine people on my side. Yeah,

85
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 2: so the girls in the gays with me and then

Speaker 2: Yeah exactly, only has like two friends and so do I.

91
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 2: But and then he's like a lot of cousins, so

92
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 2: we made it work.

93
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 4: Yeah.

94
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 1: But yeah, you need to do whatever you This is

95
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 1: your day, what you want, Like, it doesn't matter who who,

96
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 1: how far away it is, or who gets their feelings hurt.

97
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 1: You get one shot at this, maybe two they'll get it,

98
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 1: so you don't. It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks

99
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 1: about this.

100
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 4: And everyone is saying that, but it really a wedding

101
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 4: is really for your guests. You want them to enjoy

102
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 4: the experience.

103
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 3: Not okay, no, it's not a test for you.

104
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: It's your one day to be selfish. This is the

105
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: best day of your life.

106
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 3: Hopefully it happens once.

107
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 1: Right, It's not about your guests at all.

108
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 5: Zero.

109
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 3: I want you all to have a good time. I

110
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 3: want you to enjoy yourself.

111
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 1: Well, if you're happy, then we should have a good time.

112
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 1: And that's I think people miss that and they spend

113
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 1: money on a bunch of crap. I've said this a

114
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 1: thousand times. They spend money on a bunch of crap

115
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 1: that they think will make their guests happy, when no

116
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:22,479
Speaker 1: one remembers any of it, because it just needs to

117
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: reflect you and make you happy and be within your budget.

118
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,039
Speaker 1: And that strets you out and it will anyway. Yeah.

119
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 1: And there's no way to choose a group of people

120
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 1: five or six or seven or ten or whatever. There's

121
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 1: no way to choose that group and not alienate someone.

122
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 1: It's impossible. So while that's very difficult, I'm sure, there's

123
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:41,599
Speaker 1: just no way around it. So I think you just

124
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 1: have to accept the fact that someone's going to be angry.

125
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: We're old enough now that we have enough friends and

126
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,160
Speaker 1: acquaintances and people who think that they play a certain

127
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 1: role in our lives, and they may be important, but

128
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,599
Speaker 1: unfortunately there's only so many slots for so many things,

129
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:57,719
Speaker 1: and so there are people who won't get invited, and

130
00:04:57,720 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 1: there are people who won't it won't be convenient for them.

131
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,119
Speaker 1: And there are people who won't be in the wedding

132
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 1: party next to me, you know, who will be very

133
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,599
Speaker 1: upset about it, and uh, and I'm sorry, but you

134
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 1: can only make the best decisions for you.

135
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 3: This is true, This is true.

136
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:13,799
Speaker 4: But if you feel in your heart that you should

137
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:15,479
Speaker 4: be in my bridal party, just tell me.

138
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:21,479
Speaker 3: Now, I just do love you. You are on the list.

139
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 1: Thank you. You know what I'm saying.

140
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 3: You're right, you are on the list.

141
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: Side of but I just don't I.

142
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 4: Could just imagine if somebody feels like like they should

143
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 4: absolutely stand next to me on my day and I

144
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:33,920
Speaker 4: don't pick them.

145
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 3: Oh, I don't want this smoke.

146
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:37,679
Speaker 1: So actually, as a guy who wants to be invited

147
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 1: but then doesn't want to have to go, I'm going

171
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,480
Speaker 1: the program. How are you. Hey, guys, good morning, How

172
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 1: are you doing? Okay, what's going on with this woman Casey?

173
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 1: We got to know how you met, about any dates

174
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: you've been on, and then why you think you're being ghosted? Yeah.

175
00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,799
Speaker 7: So I met Casey on one of the dating apps

176
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 7: that are obviously very popular, and wh she had it

177
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,040
Speaker 7: for a bit. I got her number, and we're both

178
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 7: sort of playing the date. I'm pretty assertive, and so

179
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 7: I wanted to kind of get right into it and

180
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 7: get into a sort of a meet and greet. It's because,

181
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 7: you know, it's easy to get lost in the mixtause

182
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 7: you don't pretty much on these apps. We both lived

183
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 7: in the suburbs, so I picked a place to meet

184
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 7: for dinner and we had a great meal. You know,

185
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 7: I really felt like we had fun, and you know,

186
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 7: before we parted ways at the end of the night,

187
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 7: I suggested, Hey, what's seven dinner again? And she agreed,

188
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 7: she thought it was a good idea. But she hasn't

189
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 7: responded to me since the date. It was previously pretty

190
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 7: quick to apply to my Texas and stuff, but something

191
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 7: changed and I just don't know what happened.

192
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, so I like it, you know, you

193
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 1: matched with her. It's hey, let's get right to this,

194
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 1: because you're right. What happens is, you know, people are

195
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 1: matching constantly or getting more than one match and then

196
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: trying to juggle, and then you get lost in the

197
00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 1: process on the dating apps if you haven't been on them,

198
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 1: and so you're like, hey, I want to meet you.

199
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 1: I'm attracted to you. You seem cool. It's going a date.

200
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 1: You planned it, you went, you suggested the place. Even

201
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 1: I mean, this dude planned the date. It wasn't okay,

202
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 1: let's go out, and then what do you want to do?

203
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 1: And you know, and then basically make the other person

204
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 1: planned the date like I tend to do. But nonetheless,

205
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 1: all of this went well. You even asked for confirmation

206
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 1: at the end of the date. Am I going to

207
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 1: see you again? She said yes? But you're now you're

208
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 1: being ghosted. Now you're not getting any responses from her,

209
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 1: and you want to know why. That's You're right, like, the.

210
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 7: Date went well, and we made a plan to see

211
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 7: each other again, but now I haven't heard her.

212

00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:14,400

283
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 5: it's good to good looking and charming. I guess it

284
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 5: was just a little less charming when it was time

285
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 5: to order. Uh, Like he went for the never Ending Possible,

286

Speaker 1: K okay, all right, okay, yeah.

291
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:04,680
Speaker 5: So yeah, that was exactly what Mark wanted to do.

292
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 5: He made it clear from the start that he was

293
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 5: going to get his money's worse. Like, and it was

294
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 5: cute at first, like two three bowls, but then he

295
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:18,679
Speaker 5: started making a scene like acting like some poks to

296
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,680
Speaker 5: mob guy, like when this bowl is half empty, you

297
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 5: bring another, Okay, okay. He's very enthusiastic about this never

298
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 5: ending Possible. And then it's getting into like bowl six

299
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 5: and seven. He like went to the bathroom and came

300
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 5: back and tried to order three more bowls at one.

301
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 1: Oh wow, was a competitive eating situation, Like he he

302
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 1: wanted to impress you with how much he could consume.

303
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, I guess it was yeah, like the show boat,

304
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 5: he was really showboating, I guess, But I mean he's

305
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 5: trying to like order so much at once, and the

306
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,440
Speaker 5: and the servers explaining, you know, it's just one at

307
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:05,959
Speaker 5: a time. So I'm getting a little embarrassed. And then

308
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 5: fast forward two hours, like I'm I've been done eating,

309
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:13,680

00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:15,680
Speaker 5: he's on bowl number twelve or thirteen.

311
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 1: You had to sit there for like another forty five

312
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:21,080
Speaker 1: minutes an hour or whatever and watch him just like

313
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 1: I don't know, just I don't know whatever, to shovel

314
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 1: this stuff into his mouth.

315
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, literally shoveling, like the whole wedge of parmesan had

316
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 5: been had been like down to the rind. And then

317
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 5: he finally called it and like, I'm sorry, I was

318
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 5: a little disgusted. It looked like he was in pain.

319
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:43,080
Speaker 5: It doesn't even look like he was enjoying it, really,

320
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 5: so you were not impressed, that's what you're saying.

321
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 1: It didn't turn anyone.

322
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:51,960
Speaker 6: Exactly, but then what maybe the exact opposite, Oh, I mean,

323
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 6: And then he tried to negotiate like a to go

324
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 6: order with the waiters and.

325
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 5: Then wanted to to leave all the empty bowls so

326
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 5: I could take a picture of him. So I don't

327
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:10,440
Speaker 5: know if it's like he's plus competitive it's just all lacking.

328
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 1: And I forgot you mentioned that that Mark is here.

329
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 7: Mark.

330
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 1: You didn't mention any of the competitive eating. You didn't

331
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 1: mention any any of this, like seventeen bowls apasta thing

332
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 1: and you made us sit there and watch you do this.

333
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 1: You didn't mention any of that.

334
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 7: Okay, Look, I can't believe that this is an issue. Okay,

335
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 7: it's never ending fasta. This is what you're supposed to do.

336
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 7: You're supposed to eat as much as you hold.

337
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 1: That's what they want to do.

338
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 7: Mary, Why would I not get as much as possible?

339
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 1: I don't think that. I don't think that's true. I

340
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 1: don't think that they're anticipating that the average person on

341
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 1: a date is going to eat seventeen bowls of pasta.

342
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 1: Like I think it's sort of I don't think you're

343
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 1: supposed to take it that literally, right? Do you have

344
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 1: food out right right that it's never ending? Actually? Like,

345
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 1: I think it's more of like, oh wow, I can

346
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 1: have as much as I want, and maybe you splurge

347
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 1: on an extra bowl or something, but you know, it's

348
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 1: the seventeen bowls, the picture, it's it's making her watch

349
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 1: you do the it's then driving to negotiate the that's

350
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 1: a go. I mean there's kind of a lot of

351
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 1: layers here. What if she wanted to hook up? Like

352
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 1: how would you that? I mean I realized you carbo loaded,

353
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 1: but like you know, I mean I don't think I

354
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 1: could function after that?

355
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 7: No, how can you not bely not be impressed with

356
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 7: me eating this?

357
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 1: I was he was killing.

358
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 5: It's just like just because you can. You never stopped

359
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 5: to ask why or if you should, And like seventeen

360
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 5: bowls is no exaggeration either, It's just like it's it's

361
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 5: not really a great first impression.

362
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 1: I think you're not allowed at that out of garden anymore.

363
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 1: I think they banned you. I think you ate enough

364
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 1: never ending possive for the entire promotion.

365
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 7: Take it off like the menu probably, I mean they

366
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 7: seem like they were they were enjoying me eating all

367
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 7: that passa. I thought you were having a good time.

368
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 7: I felt good in the moment, and you know, with.

369
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 1: You or laughing at a certain point, I mean you

370
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 1: were making a spectacle, it sounds like and then ordering

371
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 1: people around, you know, as I don't know, and I

372
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 1: don't think that's date activity. It's certainly not first date activity.

373
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 5: No, maybe like something you reveal to me later on

374
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 5: and it's like, oh wow, this is like a secret

375
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 5: in talent or it's just you're really enthusiastic about pacto.

376
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 7: Or or deals.

377
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, impressing, Okay, there it is. I was like, were

378
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 1: you trying to get a good deal or were you

379
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 1: trying to impress her? And he keeps bringing up that

380
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 1: he was trying to impress her and it didn't actually

381
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 1: did not impress her at all. Let me ask this

382
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 1: question though, Casey on his behalf, maybe we don't go

383
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 1: to any kind of like never ending situation, but we'll

384
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 1: pay for another date if you'd like to try and

385
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 1: go out with him again, and maybe he'll agree to

386
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 1: not competitive on the date.

387
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 5: I mean it's a hard sell. It's a hard sell

388
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 5: because like, uh, I can't really get the image of

389
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 5: all the pasta sauces kind of Yeah.

390
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,120
Speaker 1: How did you feel after that? I mean that's a lot,

391
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 1: that's a lot of probably, I don't know, I don't

392
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:06,359
Speaker 1: know what sauce you got, the different sauce choices, but

393
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 1: it's just a lot.

394
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm pretty sure he needed some gas X and

395
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:13,920
Speaker 5: the anti acids after like.

396
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 1: How did you feel for the next couple of days.

397
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:19,920
Speaker 7: Look at I'm a grown guy. I like to eat,

398
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,439
Speaker 7: and I felt fine. Everything went down fine, everything came

399
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 7: out fine, it was.

400
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 1: Great, Okay, good news. All right. Look, so she's not interested.

401
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 1: It doesn't seem so Mark. Look, I wish you the best, Casey,

402
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:31,159
Speaker 1: thank you for your time. Good luck to you as

403
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:34,680
Speaker 1: well out there. And maybe maybe we toned down the

404
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 1: sort of boasting how much we can eat on the

405
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 1: first date. That's my advice to you.
