for a minute, yeah you show you. No, it's not.
We're on the radio whole cruise here, is it cool?
If we chat, I'll tell you what we're calling about.
I just need your permission first, okay, All right, Well,
thank you for calling on behalf of a guy named Steve,
(04:07):

on Hinge and that he that you guys chatted and
planned a date and that you went out and he,
in short thought the date went really really well, except
he says he hasn't heard from you since then. He's
called these texts and all these things. So what's going on?
Why why are you not responding to him?
Speaker 2 (04:33):
This is so weird.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
Yeah, he's a he's a nice, interesting dude.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
I did have a good time with him.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
I actually we went back to his place and started
making out and it was actually really fun. But I
saw this thing on his lower back and I was.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Like, what is that? And then saw I figured out
his lower back? What is that?
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Huh?
Speaker 4 (05:01):
Well, I didn't know what it was because I was like, oh,
is that a birthmark? No?
Speaker 2 (05:05):
What is that?
Speaker 4 (05:07):
And then all of a sudden, I was like, oh, no,
that's a tattoo. Is a lower back tattoo? Okay, which
you know, whatever to each his own. But then it's
it's a Jordan jump Man tatoo. Yeah, and it looked
like it coming out.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Hold on, Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold, on Steve. Steve.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
That's Steve, by the way, Michelle Steve. Yeah, I'm very forgetful.
I forgot that. Steve is yere. Now hold on, Steve.
I need to hear more about the jump man here,
so we'll get to you. We'll get to you. Old
boy Jordan over here. But so wait a minute. So
it's placed like right above his crack. So what it
looks like?
Speaker 4 (05:50):
Oh yeah, I mean it's leaping out of his eye.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Yeah, okay, so this the guy likes Michael. He's a
Jordan guy. Obviously, I'm a Jordan guy. I don't have
a lower back tattoo of anything. But I mean, so
the guy's a Michael Jordan's fan.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
Uh, I mean yeah, I get it, like, come on,
a lower back tattoo. Also, to be very clear, I
laughed when I first saw it, and I thought, okay,
maybe it was like a dare or something. And then
I was like, oh, is this like he didn't read
it's like a frat bro but I was like, oh,
was it like hazing or something?
Speaker 2 (06:28):
And then he said, no, I got it a couple
of years ago.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
We are in our three Okay, so this wasn't like
a drunk you know moose decision. This was a thought
that occurred relatively recently. So Steve is here.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
You know that.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Now, Steve, can you explain the Jumpman on your ass
or I guess above your yeah or back tattoo of
a Jordan Jumpman logo?
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Michelle likes there's so may good stories to this, Like
for look, I was, yeah, I was a big Jordan
fan growing up, right, but I used to watch the
games with my grandfather, and I just wanted the way
to honor both. So like, I mean, I don't think
that's such a big deal.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
You do.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
You're gonna make Peop look like an ale.
Speaker 4 (07:14):
No, I'm honoring your grandfather by putting a tattoo by
your le He.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Was a funny guy. We want to joke around and
stuff like so, like I mean, my grandpa, but my
whole For the record, it's not near that. It's not near.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
I mean it's but it sounds like it's close enough
because I know, a little too close.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
Seriously, you're going to refuse to see me because of that.
I mean, that's just like something harmless. It's it's it's
funny and like like I said, it's for it's for
honoring both my grandpa and uh, you know the games.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
I mean, like, coach, this is the first.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
This is a first, a lower back tattoo to honor
my grandfather.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
I don't know if either of them want that. Michael,
are you yeah?
Speaker 1 (08:03):
I mean Michael Jordan just texted me and he said, no,
that's all you put was exactly.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
It is not okay, what do you have a tattoo
by your It says just do it?
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Like, oh, come on, that's kind of I be mad
at that one. Hold on a second, do you.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
I don't, but yeah, but that yeah, I guess maybe
I should.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
But like Michelle, come on, you're being white.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
Too, kicky, Like I.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
Mean, Vicky, come on, but that was done in your thirties.
Like these are decisions that you know, you may want
to like just well.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Who want to see it?
Speaker 3 (08:43):
I mean like going to see that my work desk
or something like when I go into work, I'm not
going to have my lower back hanging out.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
Well, when you go to the gym, if you bend over,
I don't know, like people are going to see a
tiny little basketball hand coming out of crass.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
I think that the lower back tattoo on a man
is a questionable decision anyway. Yeah, but then just say
that it was sentimental on top of that, and then
the location like ha ha, he's jumping over my crack.
But also, you know, shout out to my grandfather.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
Going on, Yeah, it's twenty twenty five. People do whatever
they want. I had some fun with that, so I
think Grandpa would just be laughing his ass off, honestly, So.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
You know, yeah, okay, so all right, the guy's got
a Jumpman logo over his crack, and so be it. Now, Look,
you liked him enough. You know, you had enough chemistry, Michelle,
Everything went well enough to get to the point where
you guys were having it, you know, some intimate fun.
So there obviously it was all fine until you saw this.
(09:51):
Would you consider letting this go and just accepting that,
you know whatever, You wouldn't do it, but you liked
him enough, and maybe we give him another shot, we
go on a second date.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
We'll pay for it.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
I mean, listen that he has a back tattoo. And
then he called a radio station. Like his decision making
isn't great. I'm gonna say no, you all, it's.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
A very sound, just excellent decision that's fine, that's fine.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
See, like I said, you're just seeing too ticky, like
I mean, obviously you have no sense of humor.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
And uh, I mean come on now, yeah, I mean,
I'm sure going to the pool is an adventure.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
But okay, look so mean if the conversation starter, well.
