back with second date update midweek. Let's get a win hack.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Maybe you're hitting the dating scene for the first time
in a long time and you feel a little rusty.
You went on that first date, you felt like it
was good, but.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
Now you're not, and then you got ghosted. Yeah happens. Sometimes.
Let's bring on Alex. How we doing, Alex? Uh, living
the dream?
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Aside from why I'm calling you? But other than that, Yeah,
life is good.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
They say. If a guy says I'm living the dream,
it's a cry for help. Are you doing? Okay? Blink twice?
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Consider I'm consider me unblinking? Okay, why do I because
his life is that good?
Speaker 4 (00:43):
Good?
Speaker 3 (00:44):
Aside from why I'm calling you?
Speaker 1 (00:45):
Sure, getting ghosted and never fun. Let's talk about Marissa.
How did you guys meet? And like, what did you
guys do on your date?
Speaker 3 (00:52):
So we met on the apps. I invited her to
a rooftop dinner, which honestly was nothing short of magical.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Sure, incredible view.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
Okay, did the whole thing? Ordered to bottle champagne. The
conversation flowed all night. We had what I thought was
an incredible rapport, and look, I thought a second date
was in the bag. But here I am living in
got City and yeah, uh, she hasn't called me back,
and I want to know why.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
So do we? Okay, Corey, any theories.
Speaker 5 (01:24):
Go city population of one.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
So what I'm thinking is Marissa maybe had some like
family turmoil and she needed to get away. So she
travels to a secluded beach for some much needed solace.
And despite the danger of surfing alone, Marissa decided to
soak up the sun and hit the wave. Suddenly, a
great white shark attacks. This forces her to swim to
a giant rock for safety. Now she's kind of injured
(01:49):
and she stranded two hundred yards from shore, and she's
going to fight for her life because this thing is
just circling her rock and its feeding ground.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
That's where she had no sell service.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
What is that The Shallows?
Speaker 5 (02:00):
That's Shallows.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Yes, that's a movie. I thought that was a song
with Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper.

at the wait staff, like to get their attention.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Okay, he did that, so it's Alex did that.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
So this is so he started doing it as soon
as we started ordering the champagne, and then he started
calling the waiter my boy, like twenty times. It was crazy.
So it was just like super he was like trying
to brow out with the guy. But it was super
condescending and really uncomfortable and like, yeah, just the snapping, Alex.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Go ahead, that's mersa.

Speaker 2 (05:58):
You know those guys the first time you met him, No,
