Speaker 4 (03:39):
Yeah, we met on hint. I thought his profile was
really cute. I thought he seemed really charming. The banter

I guess I'm really going to get into it. Like
halfway through the date, he asked me if I would
look at something on his butt later, Like I don't.

(04:03):
He has some sort of like I don't know maybe
in fact, I don't even.

Speaker 1 (04:06):

so you're on hold on. I got to make sure
I'm clear on this that I heard you correctly. Sally.
You're on a first aid with a man you just met,
and it's not like, Hey, did I sit on something
or is there like brush something off? Me, here, is
there like a leaf attached to my clothes? He was
going to expose himself to you, and you were going

(04:28):
to look and see like at a growth or something
like a exactly a pimple or something. Exactly what and
why did he think that was a good idea?

Speaker 4 (04:38):
I have no idea. I mean I was like like
any sort of attraction that I had left my body
in that moment. I just like sat there, just like
counting down the seconds until like it leaves the restaurant.
I was like completely in shock. I mean, it's like disgusting.

Speaker 1 (04:52):
Were We talk about this all the time, you know,
with people in relationships or whatever, and people get comfortable
and I would contort myself in front of them. You're
in every possible angle to address this myself and let
not let anyone know that there was anything going on.
If I'm in a relationship, I'm I'm out here, put
my leg over my head in a way I never
thought I could trying to see because I'm trying to

(05:13):
see what's going on without anybody knowing we have a problem.
I'm trying not to even go like talk to anybody
about it. And you're and this guy's out here asking
the woman he went on a first date. Well, then sell,
if you're a fan of the show, you know that
Alex is here. Alex explain yourself.

Speaker 3 (05:28):
Okay, yeah, I know why became public information?

Speaker 1 (05:37):
Well, I mean what you called the radio station.

Speaker 2 (05:40):
You want to know why she's not calling you. That
may have something to do with it. Hey, you're the
one who had a genuine concern.

Speaker 3 (05:49):
I had a concern.

Speaker 2 (05:50):
I wanted to share it with someone. I was go
to a physician. Did you get that looked at what
got your issue?

Speaker 3 (06:00):
Didn't get it?

Speaker 2 (06:00):
Look today, you heard the story with me, so you
still get the buffer. There is no one else in
your world that could go look at it. Professionals for you,
like an urgent care. But you can ask her.

Speaker 4 (06:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (06:15):
I thought I thought we had like intimate connection. I
thought I could trust her with this kind of thing.

Speaker 2 (06:22):
I can see I was wrong.

Speaker 1 (06:25):
Okay, I mean we call this preserve the sexy. I
feel like when you first meet someone, for as long
as possible, you know, you try and keep it sexy.
We all know that stuff happens, and we you know,
and I'm not saying you should be ashamed of that.

Speaker 2 (06:40):
But they didn't even get to the sexy right to
preserve you. That's exactly right.

Speaker 1 (06:46):
And again, I mean, I'm sure you get to a
comfort level in your relationship. And I would argue maybe
you shouldn't, but but you do. When it's like, hey,
can you take a look at this or whatever?

Speaker 4 (06:54):
Don't ever say no, because one of that might be you.

Speaker 2 (07:01):
My body will my body hole will fall off before
and I'll have to go find it myself and buy
you want to replace it before anywhere before.

Speaker 1 (07:09):
You look at my No, No, absolutely, absolutely, absolutely not, Alex.
You got to know that it's just not attractive. And
and like, look, yeah, I'll look what.

Speaker 2 (07:24):
No, I'm not that. Won't look at that. No, I
won't look at that. What do you want? What?

Speaker 3 (07:30):
I find comfort with each other and intimacy to be sexy.
And I don't know why all y'all are hiding yourselves
from your date. Why you're afraid to like be yourself
in front of someone.

Speaker 4 (07:43):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (07:44):
That's not that's not for me.

Speaker 3 (07:45):
I just want to put everything out there.

Speaker 1 (07:49):
I'm a crazy person. Everybody knows that. But if I
had something on my butt, I cancel the date. There
wouldn't be a date, just in case somebody might have
to see that. No, so we're selling. Oh I'm a coward.

Speaker 2 (08:02):
I'm a coward because I would have a random people
on a he and you look at my Okay, so
you would do it? Honestly, I'm a sucker. Like it's
really hard for me to say no to something that
someone asks of me. Oh my god, I could see
Jason doing it as well.

Speaker 3 (08:16):
Yes, I would be looking at woody halls and I would.

Speaker 2 (08:22):
It's a hobby of yours. So I mean, I'll just
ask the question.

Speaker 1 (08:28):
I know the answer is rhetorical, but still, I would
you consider another day with him? If he keeps everything,
all of his clothing on. We'll pay for it, you know,
we'll send him too urgent care first. I guess we'll
pay the co pay.

Speaker 2 (08:38):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (08:39):
No, I'm sorry, Alex. There's no way you've.

Speaker 2 (08:42):
Got to learn.

Speaker 1 (08:43):
Not going to happen, Alex. I'm sorry, man, it's not
gonna work out, you know. Please go to the doll Yeah,
I mean I have that looked at. If it's still there,
it's been long enough. You know, I don't want anything
to happen to you. Man. Okay, he sounds so dejected,
