Corey.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Your thoughts, Well, I think what happened was is she
was selected to take part in a secret military experiment.
And what they did is they put Tessa in hibernation.
And the problem is they're forgotten. The base is closed down,
and no one remembers that she's in this pod, and
so she's not let out for like, I don't know,
(01:29):
one hundred years. And when she finally does wake up,
she finds out the average intelligence of humans has decreased
so much that she's now the smartest woman in the world.

say we can see what we can find out, get

Speaker 1 (03:40):
You guys, look, we're all adults, Tessa, Brandon, Doug you
he called your connection immaculate. Yeah, so, like and tacos
in Oakland?
Speaker 3 (03:51):
What could go wrong? Frankly, some of the best tacos
in the Bay.
Speaker 5 (03:55):
Tacos were good. They were on points.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Okay, did you ghost?
Speaker 5 (04:00):
I am it? Yes, Okay, I am definitely guilty of
ghosting here.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Okay because.
Speaker 5 (04:08):
Brandon is a walking collection of quarks.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Okay, all right.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
Wait, I wait, I feel like Brandon.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Hang on, hang on, Okay, there's nothing to be defended yet,
test it back to you.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
I want to hear everything.
Speaker 5 (04:29):
Yeah, well, I will tell you everything. This guy insisted
on wearing a leather driving set of gloves the whole night.
And I mean he didn't even take them off to
eat his tacos.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
He ate his tacos with gloves on. That's going to
get sauce on the taco. Okay? Was that it?
Speaker 5 (04:52):
No? There's more. He wouldn't let the server drop all
the plates until he had taken the photos that he
wanted for his food blog, like one by one individually.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Okay, I mean that seems to be the trend these days.
Speaker 5 (05:07):
Yeah, trendy, but also like it would have been good
if he actually had a blog going. He confessed that
he was just starting it, like he hadn't even had
a blog set up yet. Okay, I am all for creativity,
but at least like have something going for you if
you're going to be like causing the server to wait,
(05:28):
and he's hilating their standing every plate, and I don't
know the tipping point was really.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
This, though, there's more true.
Speaker 5 (05:38):
Yes, he goes and whips out a flask of a
special tequila and he poured it into his horse shatta.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
I'm sorry, what's the horn shata?
Speaker 3 (05:46):
Horn Shata's it's a cinnamon rice drink.
Speaker 5 (05:48):
Oh and this sounds like a he spiked his hors shatta.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Did they have liquor at this place?
Speaker 2 (05:54):
They did?
Speaker 5 (05:55):
Yeah, you could have ordered the horse shata, you know,
with alcohol. And he said, though, like the tequila. For
whatever reason, he thinks restaurants tequila are trash and they
have additives, so he brings his own.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Okay, Oh, it reminds me of the time that girl
brought around soy milk.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
I'm gonna let's take a pause because I want to
hear from Brandon. Now, Brandon, we've got some things. So
what's really going on?
Speaker 4 (06:20):
I mean, what's really going on is I called you
guys looking for an explanation, and now I just I
have to explain myself. So I look, yes, I wear
driving gloves out sometimes it's a look.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
It's style.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
I don't think it's that weird. I know how to
eat tacos. That's spilling everything all over them. I'm not
a child. You know they're cool. I did compliments on them,
but the server complimented me on them. No, I don't
have a food blog because I am gathering content for it. Okay,
I don't say anything wrong with that, And yeah, maybe
it's a little annoying. But I also gave the server
and nice fat tips, so I don't think they were
(06:55):
complaining at the end of the night about it.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
I'm going I'll give you a point on that one.
I wouldn't do it on a first day. What about
the flask?
Speaker 4 (07:01):
Look, I like top shelf stuff. You know, this tequila
is very local. I know somebody who makes it themselves,
and I know all the ingredients that go into it.
So why am I gonna order something that I'm gonna
like less It's gonna be less healthy for me and
pay more for it when I can just bring my own.
Speaker 5 (07:18):
You know, I get all that, but don't do all
of that on the first date. You know, I just
think try to be cool and just normal, like, try
to at least get me on a second date.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
Look. Bottom line is I think it was cool. I
am cool, and I don't think you guys have to
exploit Brandon.
Speaker 5 (07:40):
Oh my gosh, Like I mean, I just think you're
a little bit more like Chapuli's black A Mooley. You're
always extra.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Yeah that like cocked and ready. Oh my god, god,
you guys, is not that? So no way, hold on,
no second date, testa, no things.
Speaker 5 (08:01):
I can't
