Brendan on the app. We talked briefly back and forth,
good chemistry before deciding to meet up at a local
bar by us. We both like to play pool, or
both got at it, so yeah, it was kind of fun.
It was like a hot challenge to build some flirty

(01:02):
chemistry and we definitely did. We turned it into this
drinking game and anytime one of us missed a shot,
we would.

Speaker 2 (01:10):
Drink you said, you guys are good. So did you
end up drinking a lot? Like you know, first people
who are good at it like me, I would get hammered.

Speaker 6 (01:21):
Yeah, you could say that.

Speaker 3 (01:25):
We got a little handsy, not in like a growth way,
you know. But we played a few games, we danced around, talked,
we kissed each other. We shared an uber home. It
was a good time. It was definitely a good time.

Speaker 4 (01:40):
You shared an Uber home. So I went home together,
so he made.

Speaker 6 (01:45):
Sure that I got home first.

Speaker 3 (01:48):
He was definitely a gentleman. Yeah, he took good care
of me. He's not like the other guys have dated.

Speaker 4 (01:55):
Did he try?

Speaker 3 (01:57):
No, he didn't. He was such a gentleman. And I
mean we had a great.

Speaker 6 (02:01):
Kiss in the car, but then when it was time.

Speaker 3 (02:03):
To go home, he said good night and didn't even try.

Speaker 4 (02:07):
That's refreshing.

Speaker 3 (02:09):
Yeah, So, I mean, as you can imagine, I was.

Speaker 6 (02:12):
Pretty excited to see him again.

Speaker 4 (02:15):
So, yeah, well, why do you think you're getting ghosted them?

Speaker 3 (02:21):
I don't know. I did have this one moment where
I kind of shrieked.

Speaker 6 (02:27):
Out a little bit, not on him.

Speaker 3 (02:30):
But we were like having a little moment in the
corner and the drunk girl walked by and bumped into me,
and she made me spill my beer all over my
brand new top. Oh, I kind of freaked out a
little bit on her. I snapped, but I like dialed

(02:52):
it back before I went too far. I apologized.

Speaker 4 (02:56):
Brandon subscribed snap like start drawing chairs? Hey girl, do
you know you just did that? Or was it like
rare you know, snapping?

Speaker 3 (03:06):
Yeah, I like made like a verbal like what the
you know, and just kind of I don't know. I
I have been more becoming in the past, but I
don't know. I didn't. I didn't think it was that
big of a deal. And I totally apologized to Brandon
for doing it. That girl was definitely a mess, Like

(03:29):
she was not innocent, you know. So yeah, I don't know.
I'm afraid that he was just like being polite in.

Speaker 6 (03:39):
The moment and saying it was fine, And maybe I
might have turned him off from it and not normal
for me to do that, but when someone.

Speaker 3 (03:47):
Deserves it, you know, Okay, I'm only you been, but
I wanted to know that I'm not going to just
freak out on him randomly like that, you know, right?

Speaker 4 (03:57):
Would that turn you off?

Speaker 3 (03:58):
Table?

Speaker 2 (03:59):
It ends how it was yeah, I think it might
turn me off now, but past me would have loved
what Yeah, especially if you turn around and freaked out
on me, I'd be like, whoa, oh she's hot. Oh
thankfully I've learned my lesson with that though. But so
it might it might be a little bit much. So

Speaker 7 (05:39):
Ahow?

Speaker 2 (05:40):
Yes, and we're calling you because we do a segment
that's called the first Aid follow Up. That's where if
you go on a day with somebody and you ghost them,
that person can email us to get you on the
phone and ask why you're ghosting. So we got an
email about you from somebody, you know?

Speaker 4 (05:59):
Yeah, we think. Who do you think would email us
and say you're ghosting them?

Speaker 7 (06:04):
I don't know, you tell me. It could be a
couple of people.

Speaker 4 (06:07):
But oh all right, Okay. I was about to get
really good then, Brandon. Her name is Lucy.

Speaker 7 (06:14):
So yeah, Lucy? I remember her?

Speaker 2 (06:18):
Okay? Do you remember liking Lucy? Do you remember going
on a date with her?

Speaker 7 (06:23):
Yeah? Man, We had a great time. Man, that girl
was hot smoking. I mean.

Speaker 5 (06:29):
Yeah, I remember, Okay, So then what's the deal? She's sobam?
Where are you gone?

Speaker 4 (06:35):
She's sneaky, man, snaky, she's sneaky.

Speaker 7 (06:40):
No, she's sneaky. She pulled some stuff on a date.
Man that was just not cool.

Speaker 3 (06:46):
Like what, Well, we went on.

Speaker 7 (06:47):
We had a great time, and you know it ended
up where we were in a ball having a good time.
We staked out our little corner and uh we were
actually relating to each other pretty well, touchy, steely, kissing.
I was into her. She was into me, I thought.
And then some random dude walks up to her out
of nowhere and it's.

Speaker 3 (07:08):
Like a whistle lucy. I'm like, who is this clown?

Speaker 7 (07:11):
And she's like having small talk with him. She turns
her back to me and like almost starts arguing with
this guy. It doesn't introduce me, doesn't tell me what's
going on, And I'm like, what is what is the
deal here? What is she hiding something? She's smiling and
flirting and all this stuff with this guy, and I'm like,
wait a minute, whether she just kissing me? Then it

(07:33):
gets worse. We start playing pool, all of a sudden,
she sees a group of people I guess over the
other side of room with this guy. She walks over
to him and just starts hanging out with him, like
she came to the bar with them. I'm like, we
just got done kissing petting in the corner, and now
you're over here with a whole nother group.

Speaker 3 (07:51):
What the hell is going on?

Speaker 4 (07:52):
Did you ask her?

Speaker 7 (07:54):
Yeah? And she apologized, and she's like, oh, it's just
somebody I used to hang out with. It. You know,
it's no big deal. But it just sounded weird, you know,
and the whole thing just it just didn't feel right.
She was way too mysterious, and you know, I was
waiting for it to even take me over there and
introduce me to these people. But it didn't happen. I

(08:16):
wasn't even upset about that. I mean, you know, things happened,
but she was gone like fifteen twenty minutes.

Speaker 4 (08:21):
Oh that's a long time.

Speaker 7 (08:23):
Yeah, she's hugging and laughing with these people with her
back turned like she's trying to block me out. I'm like,
sounds sneaky. Reminded me of an X. I was checked out.

Speaker 4 (08:32):
Well, thank you for telling us.

Speaker 2 (08:34):
And now I'll let you know that Lucy is actually
on the phone listening and wants to talk to you.

Speaker 7 (08:39):
Oh oh thanks, guys, appreciate it.

Speaker 4 (08:42):
Yeah, okay, clear some stuff up, both of you, guys,
you know Lucy?

Speaker 3 (08:47):
Hey, Yeah, hi Brandon, what wrong dog again? Oh my god? Yeah,
I left tell you Okay. One, I don't think I
was gone for that long. And two, that was so

(09:09):
unbelievably awkward for me. I did not think that these
people are going to show up there. These are people
that I like, know and I'm trying to kind of
like fizzle out, and so it was super awkward for me.
And I did not want to introduce you to these people,
like I didn't want to mix that.

Speaker 7 (09:29):
You know, I understand what you're saying. It's just that
the only true part about what you just said is
you didn't think because you didn't take me into consideration
at all. You left me hanging. And I mean I
just watched you have a beer pour it all over.
Obviously I'm kind of into you if I'm still sticking around.

Speaker 3 (09:45):
Okay, I mean, I definitely did not think it was
a big deal. We were just talking. I mean, if
you hadn't seen some people that you knew and you
were talking to them, I wouldn't be so sensitive about it.

Speaker 7 (09:57):
Well, let's flip the script. Let's say that I take
you out and I leave you somewhere and I go
to talk to a bunch of girls that I know,
and then I come back and say, Hey, it's no
big deal. These are just some girls that I know.

Speaker 3 (10:08):
How would you feel about that? If I'm being like
completely transparent and honest with you, that guy was my egg,
and I really don't think that there was any world
where you two needed to be like talking and meeting
each other and whatever, and so like with all of

(10:29):
our old friends there, it was like weird for me
and awkward, and so I wanted to just kind of
like be like what's up, but also not mix y'all together.
You know, I'm trying to fizzle that out. I'm trying
to get away for I think that you're a great
guy I've ever heard in my life. I really like you,
and I did not at all want you involved in that.

Speaker 7 (10:50):
It just sounds sneaky, And you want to talk about
being uncomfortable on.

Speaker 4 (10:54):
The radio, was just telling you the truth?

Speaker 3 (10:59):
Yoh, I'm on the radio.

Speaker 7 (11:01):
What if your guys listening to this you can kind
of have Well, I guess he knows that I'm not
interested anymore. Then I'm just saying the whole thing sounded
shady to me. That was why, that was why I
ghosted you. I don't even know what to say at
this point. I'm just kind of confused. Where do we
go from here?

Speaker 5 (11:21):
Well, let's flip it again, Brandon. What if your ex
girlfriend showed up and you were with Lucy?

Speaker 3 (11:25):
What do you do introduce them?

Speaker 4 (11:28):
Do you you would introduce them?

Speaker 7 (11:30):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (11:30):
I don't know if I would.

Speaker 7 (11:32):
Yeah, it's my ex girlfriend. The way Lucy looks. If
you met my ex girlfriend, Oh, I would definitely introduce them.

Speaker 3 (11:45):
You know, man, I definitely be a different person. I
did not want that those stories like coming to you.
I'd much rather just like ease into this thing with you.

Speaker 4 (11:56):
Brandon. Would you like to go on another day with Lucy?
We'll pay for it.

Speaker 7 (12:00):
I mean, it's just funny that you think I couldn't
handle that, so in a public situation, you just decided
that now I couldn't handle it. I'm gonna ease into it.
I don't know, you know what anybody can make a mistake.
Let's do it.

Speaker 4 (12:18):
Okay, right, Okay, got another date, Lucy.

Speaker 3 (12:21):
All right, let's go. Let's do it.

Speaker 7 (12:25):
I'll probably go somewhere and not bump into your ex.

Speaker 3 (12:27):
You know what. That sounds like a plan to meet.

Speaker 7 (12:31):
You.

Speaker 3 (12:31):
Will's first date follow up
