Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's time for your phone tap, and today we call

(00:02):
a woman who was set up by her sister. She
does not listen to our show, so she's already a
step behind in her life, but she has recently started
dating again online. She matched with a few guys, gave
out her phone number, and now one of them is
about to call her out of the blue excited. His

(00:23):
name is Eric. He's a little nervous, but at least
he has some help on his side to understand what
she's really trying to say to him in your phone
tap right now? Hello, Hey, is this Kendra? Yeah? Who
says Hey, It's Eric. We matched on on Hinge recently.

Speaker 2 (00:48):
Hi.

Speaker 1 (00:49):
Hey, Yeah, So I know this is probably like awkward
just to call you out of the blue, but like
I know, we talked about meeting up for drinks, but
I just wanted to like chat with you a little bit.
It first over the phone. If that's okay, I've got
a few minutes for awesome and I'm hoping you're okay.
If Lucy joins us, she's my AI dating companion.

Speaker 2 (01:13):
Sorry, I'm confused. I don't think I understand.

Speaker 1 (01:16):
No, it's okay. I thought everybody was using her It
just helps men and women avoid miscommunication because, like you
know how, sometimes it's hard to understand each other. We
can speak differently, I guess, so, Lucy, she translates our
words and tones to say what we actually mean.

Speaker 2 (01:37):
Wow, I didn't even know that existed.

Speaker 1 (01:40):
Yeah, and actually she's listening to our call right now.
What So, Hi, Lucy, I'm talking to Kendra, the girl
that I met on Hinge about our first date.

Speaker 3 (01:50):
Translation, Eric is excited for your date and maybe what
happens after it's done? What?

Speaker 1 (01:58):
Oh god? I mean? Uh yeah, I guess it is
on my mind, but it's not the main thing.

Speaker 2 (02:05):
Okay, so wait a second. It's like listening and it judges.

Speaker 1 (02:12):
Us or well, no, it's more like an interpretation, so like, uh,
what questions do you have for me?

Speaker 2 (02:20):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (02:21):
My gosh, you probably want to know about my work
and stuff.

Speaker 2 (02:24):
Kind of feeling put on the spot a little bit.

Speaker 1 (02:26):
Oh sorry, your.

Speaker 2 (02:27):
Profile said you're you're a supervisor.

Speaker 3 (02:29):
Yeah, she's asking how much money you make?

Speaker 1 (02:33):
Oh no, I wasn't. Let's just change gears. We'll focus
on you, like, what do you like to do for fun?

Speaker 2 (02:40):
To be honest, I'm scared to say anything right now.

Speaker 1 (02:43):
You don't feel that way. Lucy's harmless.

Speaker 2 (02:45):
Now, come on, I recently started doing yoga again.

Speaker 3 (02:50):
She's telling you she's very flexible and that could come
in handy in other areas of life if you get
what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (02:56):
Who are you okay?

Speaker 2 (02:58):
Okay, no, no, no, no, that's not what I'm saying. Actually,
can you turn her off?

Speaker 3 (03:03):
Please?

Speaker 1 (03:04):
Wait? Turn her off?

Speaker 2 (03:06):
Yeah that's annoying.

Speaker 1 (03:07):
Well, sorry, I can't do that. I'm subscribed. But like,
why don't you like tell me about your family?

Speaker 2 (03:13):
I don't even think I should say much with her listening.
I'm really close. I'm really close with my family. I'll
say that.

Speaker 1 (03:21):
Awesome, that's great. Like do you celebrate holidays together with them?
Because I know we do?

Speaker 2 (03:26):
Yeah, we do Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Speaker 3 (03:28):
It's it's always interesting translation. Someone cries, someone drinks, and
someone threatens to leave, and it's always her.

Speaker 2 (03:38):
Are you kidding me?

Speaker 1 (03:39):
Okay?

Speaker 2 (03:40):
Are you kidding me?

Speaker 1 (03:40):
Yeah? Listen, Hey, I'm sorry about that.

Speaker 2 (03:43):
I don't do those things okay at all?

Speaker 1 (03:46):
You know what, we shouldn't even talk about it. Let's
just change again.

Speaker 2 (03:49):
You know what? Yeah, why don't you answer a question?
What kind of music for you.

Speaker 3 (03:53):
Into Translation, she needs to know if you are emotionally
available or if you just listen to Joe Rogan.

Speaker 2 (04:01):
Oh my are you? That is absurd? Like I really
really want you to turn her off.

Speaker 3 (04:08):
I don't.

Speaker 1 (04:08):
I don't listen to that podcast. If you're wondering, I wasn't.

Speaker 2 (04:13):
Okay, I just want you to turn her off.

Speaker 1 (04:14):
Well, like I said, I really can't. But last question,
I just I want to know, like, are you seeing
anybody else? Because I'm just not into like dating multiple people.

Speaker 2 (04:24):
First of all, I don't know why you can't turn
her off, but like I will humor you. No, I'm
not into dating multiple people either. I was dating a
guy like it ended months ago.

Speaker 3 (04:34):
And then translation, we are he ghosted her and she
still cyber stalks his dog's Instagram.

Speaker 2 (04:40):
What is okay? Seriously, like what if even like if
you can't turn this off, like what you can't have
a regular phone call? You have to have this on? Okay,
I can't do this anymore.

Speaker 1 (04:49):
Honestly, Lucy's probably overstepping her bounds a little bit. Yeah
you think, but I think she's probably only saying it
because you're actually on a radio show right now called
Brook and Jeffrey in the morning and you're being phone
tapp so are you serious? Yeah, I'm sorry. Your sister
Celeste asked us to do this to you.

Speaker 2 (05:09):
Were you are gone? Are you kidding?

Speaker 1 (05:13):
She said that you've been giving out your number to
a few guys on Hinge. One guy was named Eric,
and so she gave me his bio and everything that
we could mess with you.

Speaker 3 (05:21):
Translation. I forgot to put in his bio about the
weird ropes hanging from his headboard.

Speaker 1 (05:27):
Wait, Lucy, Okay, they're not weird.

Speaker 3 (05:30):
I should know you cybered me last night.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
Oh my god, I am so gone with online dating.

Speaker 3 (05:36):
I've heard that.

Speaker 1 (05:37):
Uh oh, now you've made Lucy madlukey and I.

Speaker 2 (05:40):
Are about to throw hand.

Speaker 3 (05:42):
Bring it on.

Speaker 2 (05:45):

the twenties, brooking Jeffrey in the morning,
