Kitty misconnections. That was me staring.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
There's only two places to find true love in this world.
One is in the back of a bass pro shop,
when you touch fishing rods behind the discount tackle and
beet bin.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
It is weary. I'm more excited about that, Ben.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
The other is on the pages of craigslist dot org.
We scoured that website every week to find the best
misconnections that they have to offer, like this first one
titled KO Cupid Man for Woman thirty two backyard cage Match.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Oh no, okay, there's the KO. You got it. It says,
I remember you from last night's Fat Night.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Ah. You was the girl with the blonde ponytail and
camo jaggins. Sitting down the fourth or fifth row. From
where I was, I could tell two things. One you
was pretty and two you had all your bottom teeth. Wow,
most ladies around these parts. Don't you a tourist?
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Oh yeah, I bet those bottom teeth came from another state.
I remember thinking you should have been our ring girl.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Not that COO's our ring announcer Louie knocked up eight
months ago.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
She's pregnant as a ring girl, really pregnant too.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
It was hard to focus on the match considering you
was making eyes at me the whole time. Were you
getting sweet on me? Or was you just enjoying the
view of me getting my butt kicked.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
I think he needs to be paying attention to the
fight if he's losing.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
I tried to impress you by busting out my signature move,
the cold cut combo where I take mustard packets to
my fists and I beat.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Someone's brains in.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Not awsome backfired in a major way, and condiment juice
went everywhere.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
So sorry about that mustard water.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Want to invite you back so you can see me
win some time. Sincerely, Jewels the ham Sandwich Henderson. Hey,
that's a great name. Ps. Sorry about the all caps.
I still can't see too well because of that mustard.
The whole thing was written in all capitals. I would
love to watch his mustard wrestling matches awesome, especially as
(02:12):
a tourists.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Yeah, don't even get ketchup in that ring. All right.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
This next misconnection is titled I was number five oh nine,
You were five twenty two woman for man twenty nine DMV.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Oh that makes sense, says guy at.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
The DMV today with the brown shirt and Carhart Beanie.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
You were a vibe okay.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
I watched you make conversation with everyone around you except me.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
O booo, she's like waiting here.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
It's like I was back in high school again when
I had a crush on the most popular chess player. Wow,
but he wouldn't let me sit at the nerd table
because I might steal his magic the gathering cards.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Fan from the nerd table. That's sad talk about PTSD.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
I'm sorry if I tapped you on the shoulder too hard,
but I wanted you to notice me. That's why I
asked you if my makeup looked okay for the pick.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
No.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Sure, you responded by questioning if I even was wearing
any makeup.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Oh, sometimes that's a good sign. You did a good
job putting. Yeah. I think she liked it because she said, OHMG,
what a jokester.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Yeah. I playfully swatted you on the shoulder, then just
stared off into the distance.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Did you think I was mysterious or what?
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Keep talking?
Speaker 1 (03:34):
I am.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
So. We didn't talk after that, but we did get
placed at neighboring windows. Some rock song was playing when
we locked eyes, and it felt like a movie like
twenty seven dresses.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
But at the DMV, you know it's a romantic spot, Jeffrey.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Anyways, you looked older, so I thought there was a
good chance you'll see this on Craigslist.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
That's sign Thanyaana. Maybe she should have pasted it on
Facebook and stead better. Look there.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Let's go to your final misconnection titled Oh there is
no title, just Blank's man for woman thirties Downtown brunch
spot says you were standing in line at the new
brunch spot in town called Awful Waffle.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
But don't you want to go to good Waffle? Not
awful waf.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
I don't know. I feel like an awful Maybe it's
like an awful lot of Waffleah, not.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Even it's like sick, but in a good way. Yeah,
he says.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
I was sitting on a bench across the street, chewing
up a slim gym when I saw you, or more accurately,
you and your yoga pants, and I knew I was
in love.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
You should know you're a creeper across the street with.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
We had to speak, so I walked over and asked
your asked logical side. Even though I was born in
the South, I delivered the line in a perfect Belgian
accent to impress sold Belgian. Specifically, you responded by saying
you weren't carrying change at the moment, hot brunette one
(05:16):
me zero.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
But I wasn't gonna let that be the end of
our love story. No, ma'am, he begging for money. No,
I doubled down, told you I didn't want you change. Oh,
I wanted your heart.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
You laughed kind of it might have been a cough,
but either way, as you sauntered off, I called out
to you, Madam Butterworth.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
You thick and I like it.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
And just like that you were gone, vanished into awful
waffle like a beautiful syrup ghost.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
If you see this reply back, I'll be the guy.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Across the street, still chewing that same st still believing
in us, that signed Dusty Ray Pickens, hanging out across
from awful waffle.
