Speaker 1 (00:00):
Second date updated. If I've learned anything from reading countless
dating blogs, they all say the absolute worst thing you
can do is be open to trying new things.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
No, they don't. That's the opposite of what they all say.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
New experiences should scare you and you need to avoid
them at all costs.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Instead of reading the anti therapy blogs.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
Again, you know, you need to stick to the places
that you've already been and people you already know, and
nothing bad can ever happen people.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
Okay, Jeff, is how you end up in like my
hometown dating your passage.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Okay supports it as one of our listeners didn't take
that advice, thank god, and he's some sort of modern
renaissance man decided to try something new and look where
it landed him right here on our show, which I'm
guessing is another new experience for him that he's never
done before.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
So yikes, we're the low point.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
We are, Alvin, welcome to your new life.
Speaker 5 (00:59):
Low awesome, glad to be here. This is my first
time ever doing that.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Now, are you feeling shame or excitement?
Speaker 5 (01:09):
No, definitely excitement. I don't I'm not feeling shame.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Okay, Yeah, we're going to change that by the end
of the segment. But you said that you tried something
new for your dating life.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
What was that?
Speaker 5 (01:20):
Have you ever heard of a red envelope party?
Speaker 4 (01:28):
That?
Speaker 2 (01:28):
What's a red envelope party?
Speaker 5 (01:30):
Well, it's like a like a dating event that people
put on. And there was this fancy house and you
went by yourself.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
You didn't bring a friend, Yeah, no, this was.
Speaker 5 (01:41):
A friend poked me up with this, but I went
by myself. Yeah. And then you scan like a QR
code and you fill out a questionnaire that's like about
your interests and your values.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
You know what kind of person you are a dating profile, right.
Speaker 5 (01:57):
Yeah, yeah, just a brief little thing like that. And
then and once you do the questionnairey, I went side
the house and it was had the vibe of like
a slanky private members club. It was a fancy furniture
and well stocked bar, chandeliers, the whole you know, chandelier
that is rich.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
People.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
You get a house full of single people and you're
only allowed to talk to one person, so they give
you a move.
Speaker 5 (02:21):
Is that the rule? No, No, You're you're supposed to
mingle and drink and have a good time. And that's
what I've been doing. About like an hour into it,
maybe a little more, a waiter came around with a
silver tray and on the tray were red envelopes, and
you find the one that had your name on it,
and that has inside the person that you are supposed
to meet once we'd already hung out.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
From I'm guessing the whole point is so that you
go around the room and actually try to find the
other person, right, Yeah, it's.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
More about talking to other Piani person my guess.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Anyway, And the fact that it's on a silver tray
makes me believe whatever is on it is like and so,
who was the person whose name was in your envelope?
Speaker 5 (03:04):
My envelope had the name Natalie in it.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Okay, had you already met? Why are you laughing?
Speaker 1 (03:09):
I thought he said he had his own name in
his envelope?
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Did you had you already met Natalie or do you
have to go find her?
Speaker 5 (03:23):
I had actually met her, and she was like obviously
on there to date. So I'm looking around, you know,
looking at all the ladies, and she was like top
of my list.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Oh you're like, yes, well he read envelope.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
That's nice.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
There was a yes, just bump, Yeah, Okay, so you
went and tracked her down.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
How did that go?
Speaker 5 (03:40):
It was great. We were having a really good time
and she was laughing a lot and I was laughing.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Oh that's a good sign because she could have been
disappointed when she saw your name.
Speaker 5 (03:48):
No, no, she seemed cool and she was kept encouraging
us to go back to the bar. And so, yeah,
we did drink a bit. I admit it. I definitely
was feeling a buzz nice.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Okay, but you're you know, you're doing it together and
it's a party.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Scene, like it seems appropriate.
Speaker 5 (04:03):
Yeah, yeah, it was appropriate amount And I was not alone,
you know, it was everybody was having a good time,
and she was having a good time. You know. Like
I said, we were laughing a lot.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
These are all positive reviews.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Is there anything in your mind that like was like
a low moment of the night or something that could
have gone wrong?
Speaker 4 (04:20):
Yes, yes there was.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Oh he's laughing now.
Speaker 5 (04:24):
I mean it's not the worst. But like, we had
been sitting for a while and we stood up and
we walked outside and it was pretty warm, and I
definitely had like a head rush and I kind of
fell into a bush.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Oh and this was in front of Natalie.
Speaker 5 (04:40):
Yeah, yeah, oh yeah, I was walking with her.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
May have but she may have looked a little sloppy.
Speaker 5 (04:46):
Yeah, you know, yeah I looked sloppy. I didn't like
fall over. Like I was just so hammered that I
was just like passing out. But you know, I definitely
leaned into it hard, let's put it that way.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
Did lean into a bush.
Speaker 5 (04:59):
But she help me out of it. But like, I'm
a pretty big guy, so she couldn't really do it.
So this guy like kind of stepped over and kind
of helped me too. Gave you a hand.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Not your proudest moment, but it's probably not like a
total deal breaker for you.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
So how did it end that night? But with you
and Natalie?
Speaker 5 (05:14):
Well, at the end of the party, I asked her
if she wanted to go up to have some food,
you know, soak up the alcohol, right, And she said
she wanted to hang back and find this friend that
she came with. And I don't know that's it.
Speaker 6 (05:25):
Then.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
I haven't heard back from her. I mean I got
her her her number, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Exactly, have you called her or nothing?
Speaker 5 (05:34):
I texted her once. I don't want to be the
dude who's stending multiple texts whatever. Definitely like damn, I
went to all that trouble and thought it was a
good connection and then just seem weird that nothing has
come since. Then.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Maybe she confidently leaned on the same bush and is
trapped inside of it right now waiting for somebody to
come pick her out. So we're gonna call, we'll see
if she answers, and try and get you your second
date update, fancy edition.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
Right after this second date update, I'm gonna.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Need to set the scene here for any listeners just
joining us. Picture well dressed men and women sitting on
ornate couches, sitting on gimlets, mingling together.
Speaker 4 (06:19):
Red envelope party people. It's fancy.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
It does feel like something that happened in Jeff's neighborhood.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Girls.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Yeah, yeah, a lot of ask on gimlets and mint
julips and.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
What's a red envelope party.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
I'm still not one hundred percent sure I get the idea.
But one of our listeners, Alvin, attended one the other
night where he went to a house in an upscale neighborhood.
They have you fill out a dating survey and then
later based on the answers to your questionnaire. They bring
you a red envelope on a silver platter with the
name of the person that you matched with and are
supposed to meet that night of Alvin's person was Natalie,
(07:03):
So they met up, had a great time there until
he fell into a bush outside.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
I didn't ruin the night. It was just a memory.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
The thing is he remembers it, so he wasn't too
dryk exactly.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
The problem is now Natalie is ghosting, So Brook, take
a break from putting your reservation and at the red
envelope house, and how do you feel about it?
Speaker 3 (07:24):
My hometown was more like bush Light and you'd wrestle
a pig, you know they started. The problem is is
it's a singles party, so she could have easily just
met somebody else that night. Yeah, Like that's the whole
point in the red envelope is so you go around and.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Oh you're talking about before the envelopes were handed out, Yes, yea.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
And like the friend that she had to find at
the end of the party air quotes was probably the
person she was talking to before him.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Alvin, did you notice Natalie speaking with any other guys?
Speaker 5 (07:58):
I mean I did notice her speaking with other guys.
Not like you know, I'm sure.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
That's what the point is.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
That's it's not like they signed a contract that you
could only go out with this person in the red envelope.
Speaker 5 (08:11):
They don't know.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Who's in the red envelope for the first hour jet
it's a red envelope with a red flag attached to
I'm worried, but let's call Natalie here and see what
she has to say.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
Here we go, Hello, Hey, is this Natalie?
Speaker 6 (08:34):
Yes, this is Natalie. Who is this?
Speaker 1 (08:36):
My name is jeff and I'm part of a radio
show called Brook and Jeffrey in the Morning, and we're
all here eager.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
To talk to you.
Speaker 5 (08:47):
What.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Yeah, we actually were given your phone number by one
of our listeners that went out.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
It was kind of on a sort.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
Of a date, met you at a dating party singles.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
And this segment is called second Date Update because we're
trying to get you two back together and figure out
if there's maybe chemistry or if if you feel the
same way. Thank you, Brooke. But this guy's name is Alvin.
Speaker 6 (09:14):
Oh okay, oh my gosh.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
Remember him from the Red On Remember him?
Speaker 5 (09:22):
Right? I do?
Speaker 6 (09:23):
I do remember him. I'm just surprised.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
Oh my god. Describe like what that party was like
for you.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
Also, if it's one of those parties, you don't have
to describe too much.
Speaker 6 (09:35):
So I just I had never been to one, so
I don't know what to tell you about it because
I didn't stay.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
You didn't.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
Well, I don't say he stayed very long either. Did
you meet somebody else? Is that what it come down to,
which is totally fine, that's the whole point of the party, right,
success for you?
Speaker 6 (09:55):
Well, I've had friends who have done these parties, Like
I was really just trying to experience it and leave
because my friends who've done his parties, they say that
you should leave by midnight if you don't want to.
You know that it can get pretty crazy, let's put
it that way. And I was just trying to get.
Speaker 5 (10:15):
Out of there.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Is it really actually one of those.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Can you elaborate? What do you know what happens at midnight?
Speaker 6 (10:25):
I heard that they open up these like other rooms
for activities after midnight, and I just that's not really
my damn, Like each one apparently has a theme.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
I don't know, are you not calling Alvin back because
you think he stayed or are you not calling him
like I don't understand why you still be or the
fact that he was.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
At that party.
Speaker 6 (10:47):
Yeah, I mean I think I made the assumption that
he's been to more than one, maybe a bunch of these.
Speaker 4 (10:53):
And that's not.
Speaker 6 (10:55):
Really my thing. I'm not into that after midnight.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
Well yourself if you think that you're making an assumption there.
I don't know if it's fair to jump to a
full conclusion until we actually talked to Alvin himself.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Because he seems like such an innocent guy him.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
And you don't even have to wait because Alvin is
on the other line right now, listening to this conversation
from a secret room in your studio.
Speaker 5 (11:18):
Don't say that yes I'm here.
Speaker 6 (11:23):
Oh my gosh, what is happening?
Speaker 5 (11:27):
Natalie?
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Did I die? Did you stay after midnight?
Speaker 5 (11:32):
Alvin?
Speaker 4 (11:32):
Do you know what she's talking about with the extra
rooms that open up?
Speaker 5 (11:36):
Yes? I do?
Speaker 4 (11:38):
You do you and you're laughing?
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Bro?
Speaker 5 (11:43):
Well yeah, I mean she laughed, and like I said,
I was kind of feeling it, you know, and I
was like, all here.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Well themption.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
I'm afraid to go into any more details of what
actually happens. Did you partake or are you just enjoying
the view.
Speaker 5 (12:00):
Brother, I was just enjoying the view.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
Why in the world would you contact a radio show
if this is the type of event that you want to.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Why did you You didn't mention any of this to us?
Speaker 5 (12:13):
True, you guys asked me to talk about the date part.
That's the part that I was interested in talking with
you guys about the rest of the party. In the
event and stuff is like another story.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
Okay, well sure, but it's a pretty important detail.
Speaker 5 (12:25):
I think to bring up, like the story end when
Natalie left, like afterwards, that was just on this.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
You know, Okay, we don't need to I mean, is
this making you feel better or worse? Natalie?
Speaker 6 (12:39):
I mean I don't like the idea of him watching
other people. Yeah, I don't like why does he want
to contact me because you.
Speaker 5 (12:49):
Were not interested in Like I was thinking about you
the whole rest of the night, Like that's all I.
Speaker 6 (12:53):
Want other people thinking of me.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
That's so, well, why do you party if you're not
into that type of people? Like Natalie, wh what are
you doing?
Speaker 3 (13:04):
That's actually but sometimes you don't know until you try it.
Speaker 6 (13:09):
Right now, Yeah, I was trying to just do something
outside of the box because I'm not super adventurous, but
I definitely have boundaries as far as not wanting to
participate in the late night activities.
Speaker 5 (13:21):
Okay, you guys are going to sound like I'm some
kind of total freaker's into like wild. This is the
first time, just like Natalie, the first time I ever
went to one of these things.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
We're not judging. Some of us are jealous.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Like a podcast about these crazy.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
How long were you there?
Speaker 5 (13:40):
So like like three a little after tree, like three
thirty something.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
You watched for three hours?
Speaker 5 (13:48):
I mean, I'll only really actually watched like this one
room called the ascot room. That's like the only one.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
That I even the ascot room.
Speaker 5 (13:56):
You know what ascots are, like those ties like scarfs.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
Oh, it's actually a smart idea, saber.
Speaker 5 (14:04):
Pretty creative.
Speaker 6 (14:06):
Oh my gosh, that's so gross. I don't what I
say to that.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Well, look, he didn't use one of the ascots. He
just watched people with the ascots.
Speaker 6 (14:15):
Oh no, but I like, oh no, I don't. I don't.
I don't know why I shouldn't have pulled you out
of that bush. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Different meanings.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Before I ask officially, Alvin, is there anything else that
you want to say?
Speaker 4 (14:31):
To Natalie like a like a final plea.
Speaker 5 (14:33):
Maybe I just want to say, like I thought we
had a good turn before, and it's not like like
I said, I'm not like into that scene. That's not
like my place and my people or something. And you
got to admit we were having a good time at
least I think we were.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
It's a good yeah, I mean, and he obviously his
intentions was to meet one person.
Speaker 6 (14:52):
Okay, Well, I just need to know are you going
to go to the next one.
Speaker 5 (14:57):
I mean, if you wanted to go with me to
one of those, that would be cool, but I'm not
going to be going by myself.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Well I was a little soon to say that.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
Yeah, but it's not too soon to ask if we
can facilitate another meet up between the two of you.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
We have a red envelope party over at Chili.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
I'm going to see you in the baby bedroom.
Speaker 6 (15:19):
That's what I was going to say, as long as
there aren't extra rooms being opened up after.
Speaker 4 (15:25):
Okay, you're open to it, you know.
Speaker 6 (15:27):
What I am, because like I said, I'm trying to
be adventurous. And it sounds like he went and he
committed to the experience, but it doesn't sound like it's
something that he does all the time.
Speaker 4 (15:37):
Oh my Janitor's classes, gradus. You got yourself another day, Yes,
but I really am.
Speaker 2 (15:48):

a low moment of the night or something that could
have gone wrong?
Speaker 4 (04:20):
Yes, yes there was.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Oh he's laughing now.
Speaker 5 (04:24):
I mean it's not the worst. But like, we had
been sitting for a while and we stood up and
we walked outside and it was pretty warm, and I
definitely had like a head rush and I kind of
fell into a bush.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Oh and this was in front of Natalie.
Speaker 5 (04:40):
Yeah, yeah, oh yeah, I was walking with her.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
May have but she may have looked a little sloppy.
Speaker 5 (04:46):
Yeah, you know, yeah I looked sloppy. I didn't like
fall over. Like I was just so hammered that I
was just like passing out. But you know, I definitely
leaned into it hard, let's put it that way.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
Did lean into a bush.
Speaker 5 (04:59):
But she help me out of it. But like, I'm
a pretty big guy, so she couldn't really do it.
So this guy like kind of stepped over and kind
of helped me too. Gave you a hand.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Not your proudest moment, but it's probably not like a
total deal breaker for you.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
So how did it end that night? But with you
and Natalie?
Speaker 5 (05:14):
Well, at the end of the party, I asked her
if she wanted to go up to have some food,
you know, soak up the alcohol, right, And she said
she wanted to hang back and find this friend that
she came with. And I don't know that's it.
Speaker 6 (05:25):
Then.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
I haven't heard back from her. I mean I got
her her her number, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Exactly, have you called her or nothing?
Speaker 5 (05:34):
I texted her once. I don't want to be the
dude who's stending multiple texts whatever. Definitely like damn, I
went to all that trouble and thought it was a
good connection and then just seem weird that nothing has
come since. Then.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Maybe she confidently leaned on the same bush and is
trapped inside of it right now waiting for somebody to
come pick her out. So we're gonna call, we'll see
if she answers, and try and get you your second
date update, fancy edition.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
Right after this second date update, I'm gonna.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Need to set the scene here for any listeners just
joining us. Picture well dressed men and women sitting on
ornate couches, sitting on gimlets, mingling together.
Speaker 4 (06:19):
Red envelope party people. It's fancy.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
It does feel like something that happened in Jeff's neighborhood.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Girls.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Yeah, yeah, a lot of ask on gimlets and mint
julips and.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
What's a red envelope party.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
I'm still not one hundred percent sure I get the idea.
But one of our listeners, Alvin, attended one the other
night where he went to a house in an upscale neighborhood.
They have you fill out a dating survey and then
later based on the answers to your questionnaire. They bring
you a red envelope on a silver platter with the
name of the person that you matched with and are
supposed to meet that night of Alvin's person was Natalie,
(07:03):
So they met up, had a great time there until
he fell into a bush outside.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
I didn't ruin the night. It was just a memory.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
The thing is he remembers it, so he wasn't too
dryk exactly.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
The problem is now Natalie is ghosting, So Brook, take
a break from putting your reservation and at the red
envelope house, and how do you feel about it?
Speaker 3 (07:24):
My hometown was more like bush Light and you'd wrestle
a pig, you know they started. The problem is is
it's a singles party, so she could have easily just
met somebody else that night. Yeah, Like that's the whole
point in the red envelope is so you go around and.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Oh you're talking about before the envelopes were handed out, Yes, yea.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
And like the friend that she had to find at
the end of the party air quotes was probably the
person she was talking to before him.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Alvin, did you notice Natalie speaking with any other guys?
Speaker 5 (07:58):
I mean I did notice her speaking with other guys.
Not like you know, I'm sure.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
That's what the point is.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
That's it's not like they signed a contract that you
could only go out with this person in the red envelope.
Speaker 5 (08:11):
They don't know.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Who's in the red envelope for the first hour jet
it's a red envelope with a red flag attached to
I'm worried, but let's call Natalie here and see what
she has to say.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
Here we go, Hello, Hey, is this Natalie?
Speaker 6 (08:34):
Yes, this is Natalie. Who is this?
Speaker 1 (08:36):
My name is jeff and I'm part of a radio
show called Brook and Jeffrey in the Morning, and we're
all here eager.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
To talk to you.
Speaker 5 (08:47):
What.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Yeah, we actually were given your phone number by one
of our listeners that went out.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
It was kind of on a sort.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
Of a date, met you at a dating party singles.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
And this segment is called second Date Update because we're
trying to get you two back together and figure out
if there's maybe chemistry or if if you feel the
same way. Thank you, Brooke. But this guy's name is Alvin.
Speaker 6 (09:14):
Oh okay, oh my gosh.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
Remember him from the Red On Remember him?
Speaker 5 (09:22):
Right? I do?
Speaker 6 (09:23):
I do remember him. I'm just surprised.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
Oh my god. Describe like what that party was like
for you.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
Also, if it's one of those parties, you don't have
to describe too much.
Speaker 6 (09:35):
So I just I had never been to one, so
I don't know what to tell you about it because
I didn't stay.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
You didn't.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
Well, I don't say he stayed very long either. Did
you meet somebody else? Is that what it come down to,
which is totally fine, that's the whole point of the party, right,
success for you?
Speaker 6 (09:55):
Well, I've had friends who have done these parties, Like
I was really just trying to experience it and leave
because my friends who've done his parties, they say that
you should leave by midnight if you don't want to.
You know that it can get pretty crazy, let's put
it that way. And I was just trying to get.
Speaker 5 (10:15):
Out of there.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Is it really actually one of those.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Can you elaborate? What do you know what happens at midnight?
Speaker 6 (10:25):
I heard that they open up these like other rooms
for activities after midnight, and I just that's not really
my damn, Like each one apparently has a theme.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
I don't know, are you not calling Alvin back because
you think he stayed or are you not calling him
like I don't understand why you still be or the
fact that he was.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
At that party.
Speaker 6 (10:47):
Yeah, I mean I think I made the assumption that
he's been to more than one, maybe a bunch of these.
Speaker 4 (10:53):
And that's not.
Speaker 6 (10:55):
Really my thing. I'm not into that after midnight.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
Well yourself if you think that you're making an assumption there.
I don't know if it's fair to jump to a
full conclusion until we actually talked to Alvin himself.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Because he seems like such an innocent guy him.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
And you don't even have to wait because Alvin is
on the other line right now, listening to this conversation
from a secret room in your studio.
Speaker 5 (11:18):
Don't say that yes I'm here.
Speaker 6 (11:23):
Oh my gosh, what is happening?
Speaker 5 (11:27):
Natalie?
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Did I die? Did you stay after midnight?
Speaker 5 (11:32):
Alvin?
Speaker 4 (11:32):
Do you know what she's talking about with the extra
rooms that open up?
Speaker 5 (11:36):
Yes? I do?
Speaker 4 (11:38):
You do you and you're laughing?
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Bro?
Speaker 5 (11:43):
Well yeah, I mean she laughed, and like I said,
I was kind of feeling it, you know, and I
was like, all here.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Well themption.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
I'm afraid to go into any more details of what
actually happens. Did you partake or are you just enjoying
the view.
Speaker 5 (12:00):
Brother, I was just enjoying the view.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
Why in the world would you contact a radio show
if this is the type of event that you want to.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Why did you You didn't mention any of this to us?
Speaker 5 (12:13):
True, you guys asked me to talk about the date part.
That's the part that I was interested in talking with
you guys about the rest of the party. In the
event and stuff is like another story.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
Okay, well sure, but it's a pretty important detail.
Speaker 5 (12:25):
I think to bring up, like the story end when
Natalie left, like afterwards, that was just on this.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
You know, Okay, we don't need to I mean, is
this making you feel better or worse? Natalie?
Speaker 6 (12:39):
I mean I don't like the idea of him watching
other people. Yeah, I don't like why does he want
to contact me because you.
Speaker 5 (12:49):
Were not interested in Like I was thinking about you
the whole rest of the night, Like that's all I.
Speaker 6 (12:53):
Want other people thinking of me.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
That's so, well, why do you party if you're not
into that type of people? Like Natalie, wh what are
you doing?
Speaker 3 (13:04):
That's actually but sometimes you don't know until you try it.
Speaker 6 (13:09):
Right now, Yeah, I was trying to just do something
outside of the box because I'm not super adventurous, but
I definitely have boundaries as far as not wanting to
participate in the late night activities.
Speaker 5 (13:21):
Okay, you guys are going to sound like I'm some
kind of total freaker's into like wild. This is the
first time, just like Natalie, the first time I ever
went to one of these things.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
We're not judging. Some of us are jealous.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Like a podcast about these crazy.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
How long were you there?
Speaker 5 (13:40):
So like like three a little after tree, like three
thirty something.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
You watched for three hours?
Speaker 5 (13:48):
I mean, I'll only really actually watched like this one
room called the ascot room. That's like the only one.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
That I even the ascot room.
Speaker 5 (13:56):
You know what ascots are, like those ties like scarfs.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
Oh, it's actually a smart idea, saber.
Speaker 5 (14:04):
Pretty creative.
Speaker 6 (14:06):
Oh my gosh, that's so gross. I don't what I
say to that.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Well, look, he didn't use one of the ascots. He
just watched people with the ascots.
Speaker 6 (14:15):
Oh no, but I like, oh no, I don't. I don't.
I don't know why I shouldn't have pulled you out
of that bush. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Different meanings.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Before I ask officially, Alvin, is there anything else that
you want to say?
Speaker 4 (14:31):
To Natalie like a like a final plea.
Speaker 5 (14:33):
Maybe I just want to say, like I thought we
had a good turn before, and it's not like like
I said, I'm not like into that scene. That's not
like my place and my people or something. And you
got to admit we were having a good time at
least I think we were.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
It's a good yeah, I mean, and he obviously his
intentions was to meet one person.
Speaker 6 (14:52):
Okay, Well, I just need to know are you going
to go to the next one.
Speaker 5 (14:57):
I mean, if you wanted to go with me to
one of those, that would be cool, but I'm not
going to be going by myself.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Well I was a little soon to say that.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
Yeah, but it's not too soon to ask if we
can facilitate another meet up between the two of you.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
We have a red envelope party over at Chili.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
I'm going to see you in the baby bedroom.
Speaker 6 (15:19):
That's what I was going to say, as long as
there aren't extra rooms being opened up after.
Speaker 4 (15:25):
Okay, you're open to it, you know.
Speaker 6 (15:27):
What I am, because like I said, I'm trying to
be adventurous. And it sounds like he went and he
committed to the experience, but it doesn't sound like it's
something that he does all the time.
Speaker 4 (15:37):
Oh my Janitor's classes, gradus. You got yourself another day, Yes,
but I really am.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
