(02:35):
you that we are on the radioright now, and I would need your
permission to continue with the call.Is it cool with just Jeff for a
couple of minutes you can hang out, but anytime if you won? Oh

but thank you for playing along.Here. We're calling on behalf of a
guy who says he met you online. You guys recently went out. His
name is Clay. Do you rememberClay? I do remember Clay? Yeah?

(02:57):
Okay, So what happened with Clay? Because he we just spoke with
him. He said that he hadmet you on the apps and that he
went out with you and he thoughtit went really well and he was looking
forward to seeing you again. Butnow he can't get a hold of you.
So what's going on? Oh okay. He was just very odd on
our date. You know. Hetold me he had just moved to the

(03:21):
city and he was having a hardtime like finding friends, but specifically finding
friends to like. I think hesaid to play in the park and like
do karate with or something to thateffect, and I laughed because I thought
he was joking, But then Irealized, no, he's he's m He

(03:43):
was serious, and I don't knowhe thought it was weird that I didn't
understand. Wait, hold on,so he was looking for a partnership so
that you guys should go to thepark and do karate. Hell yeah,
yeah, I what is he goingto come out there with this belt and
break a board or something? Youknow what I'm saying, can bring the

(04:05):
boards by himself? What? Yeah, it was pretty It was pretty awkward.
Don't do for that. Don't yougo to the karate place and like
hang out with other karate people whenyou I mean, I don't know what
you're on I mean people are ondating apps looking for a lot of things,
but I've this one I've never heardof before. I've forgot to mention

(04:28):
that Clay is here, kung FuClay is here. Hey Clay, Hey,
karate kid. What's going on?Like, wax on, wax off?
Bro, Like, what's karate Clay? What's going on? Like?
I mean you told her on thedate that you were looking for someone to
go do karate in the park with. Like, yeah, I don't understand
what the joke is. I mean, it's a hobby of mine. I

(04:51):
have a lot of fun doing it. I don't see what's what's odd about
that? Now, do you puton the entire karate garb? Do you
put on the was it? Doyou put the gee on? Are you
what level? Are you? Bythe way? Yeah? Yeah, no,
I'm yeah, I'm I'm a blackbelt. I've been studying karate since
I was a little kid. Ilove karate, and yeah, I'm new

(05:12):
to the area. So I waslooking for people, not necessarily with you,
Emily. Uh, you know,I wasn't saying that me and you
need to go to the park anddo karate. I you know, if
you don't like karate or into it, that's fine. But I've been trying
to meet from friends that I couldgo to the park with and and and
you know, play fight with.Oh gosh, do they you kung fu

(05:39):
Clay? Like no, no one'sever called me kung fu come fu Clay
before. Now I'm worried to maketoo much fun of this man because he
is a black belt. So Imean that's more than I can say for
myself. But I mean, Clay, wouldn't you rather than go on a
date with someone and tell when,don't you just go to a I mean
a karate establishment and you know sortof I don't know, either spar with

(06:02):
other people at your level or orinstruct or something. I mean, it
sounds like you're legitimate. Why arewe going to the park to do well?
I mean, you know, thereare lots of different clubs that do
this kind of stuff, especially whereI was from, Like there are people
that do sword fighting, you know, they go to parking. I don't

(06:23):
really don't understand what the big likeif I you know, im, I
tell someone, Hey, I'm gonnaplay Mortal Kombat with my buddies, you
know on the PlayStation. That's notweird, but all of a sudden,
it's weird that I say, oh, I want to go, you know,
spar fight or play fight in thepark. I mean, I don't
know what to do with this,Emily. So look, he wasn't saying

(06:46):
he wanted to do that with younecessarily, but in general he'd like to
find random people to go to thepark. I mean, so, I
guess you can go out with himif you want to, and you don't
have to play fight with it.I mean, to be quite honest,
it's very clear we don't have anythingin common. So I mean when we

(07:13):
were talking, we have a lotof stuff in common. We don't all
we don't have to have all ofthe exact same hobbies. I'm sure you
do things that I wouldn't do withyou. Yeah, I mean there's a
you could go on Craigslist for stufflike this. I think, I mean
you could. I mean, there'sthere's got to be a Facebook group for
something like this. I mean Ithink there's a little Yeah, maybe don't

(07:35):
write it like that, but I'msorry, this is I mean, I
think I understand what you're getting atis that you were sharing this is an
interest of yours and you just movedhere and you're looking for other like minded
folks. I just think she thinksit's weird that. I guess if I
walked by a park and I sawa bunch of random men right beating each

(07:56):
other up, I might tell inkarate here, I might sort of wonder
what I've stumbled upon. But Imean, Clay, I hope that you
find what you're looking for. Emily. He doesn't want to do karate with
you, but he does want tohang out with you again. Would you
consider that in between sessions of thepark with random men. No, I
don't blame you, girl, Idon't blame you. Don't nobody want no

(08:18):
man walking around like, what areyou? All right? So what do
you do? So it's prefer tohave men that are not in shape,
that stay home, play video gamesall day and they play with their friends
online. That's socially acceptable. Butthis is weird. Okay, Yes,
he says, yea over there,bro, if you want to be John

(08:46):
Wick, just say Tom. Ido think we ain't got nothing on me,
Clay. Everybody, hey man,look, I'm I think there's a
It didn't come off right at thevery least, but Emily no interest in
another day with karate, Clay,Now okay, all right, well,

(09:11):
hey Clay, look, I wishyou the best. I hope you find
the sort of social outlet that you'relooking for, and who knows, you
know, maybe you'll you'll stumble upona place where they do karate, do
karate, and then you can finda woman who also does karate, and
y'all can do karate together. Yeah. I mean I don't necessarily need to
be with somebody else that does karateper se, but yeah, I mean

(09:35):
that would be nice. Okay,Hey, at least you need to wear
the whole thing out to the date, and that would have been something if
he had the you know, blackDo you ever wear the black belt out?
Can you accessorize or no? No? No, I mean I don't
wear that out. Okay. He'slike he's like legally like a deadly weapon.
That's what I mean. Like,that's why, Hey, that was
key he talking by the way,like I want you to know, Claire,
I respect your disc back. Yeah, exactly in the park. Would

that, but I mean I'm notgonna make too much fun of this man,
