Speaker 1 (00:00):
Variety from the two thousands, the nineties, and today it's
a star one on one three, It's Marcus and we're
back with second date update.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Let's go. You know what we're trying to do. We're
trying to bring people together.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
As always, if you go on a first date, you
get ghosted, you call me and then we call your
date together and just to figure out what the heck happened.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
I think this is what happened to Ryan. So let's
bring him on. Ryan. Are you there?
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Yeah, I'm here.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Hey dude, So schirlled Chelsea. Did she ghost on you?
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Yeah? She did ghost on me.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Okay, let's lay it out. How did you guys meet?
And then like, what was the first date about?
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Well, our first date we went to this like wine
bar in Berlin game and I thought it was effortless. Honestly.
We shared like a charcuterie board. We swapped childhood stories.
I thought there was chemistry, Like for sure, she gave
me a hug at the end, like a like a
good long hug, you know.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Like a side hugger I can't wait to get out
of here hug, but like a real one.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
It was a real hug. We didn't kiss or anything.
But you know, so, yeah, I thought it went cool.
I thought it was great. Then damn, she just didn't
call me back.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
So okay, there's nothing more embarrassing than getting a hug,
going in for a kiss, and catching an ear lobe.
I'm not gonna say that's happened to me, but I'm
not gonna say it hasn't either. Anyway back to you,
Ryan can't decide whether to feel sorry for me or not.
It's fine, it's part of my story. It's Marcus. We're
doing second date update. We've got our guy Ryan on
the phone. We're all now on team Ryan and we're
(01:25):
gonna call Chelsea and figure out why.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
She ghosted on him after the first date. Dude, are
you there still?
Speaker 3 (01:31):
I'm here. I just want to make sure.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Okay, this is my reminder. I was gonna say my
reminder to go ahead and mute. Maybe let's see what
we can figure out here we go, Bud, Hello, Hi,
I'm looking for Chelsea. Please.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
Oh my god, Marcus, I listen to you every morning
since I was in like high school. I would know
that voice.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Anyway, Oh my god, you're ridiculous.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
Really, I want to tell you're doing a good job.
The thing with Corey was such a bummer, but you're
really handling it so well.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
I appreciate that. I didn't know how to deal with
Layoffs are tough. I gotta be honest with you.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
Yeah, and so everything is tough right now. The world
is so hard right now.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
I know, and you know what.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Everybody's been so kind, So you know what, thank you
for giving me a minute to be able to say
that too. But I mean, I feel like, you know
why we're here.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
I have an idea. Yeah, it's so weird. This is wild.
I've been listening to that date update like it's.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Ryan right, yes, and now you're the star of the show.
Come on down, Ryan, are you there?
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Oh yeah, I'm here.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Okay, what's up you guys. So look, we're all adults.
We know why we're here, and Chelsea, Ryan he enjoyed
your date and would like to take you out again.
He felt like the Hug was promising his words, So, okay,
(03:08):
can we get a second date?
Speaker 3 (03:10):
Or God?
Speaker 4 (03:13):
This is really weird.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
I will say the first like ten seconds of the
day were great.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Okay, I did.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
Not feel the same about the hug.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Okay, what did what happened.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
Ryan has a very good booking guy. He's got a
great smile, he's got a good energy. But mostly it
was not for me, Like, okay, so if it isn't
the first twenty minutes of the day, talking about the
custom Tesla, he said he wants to get like, like,
I have to look at pictures of the trim that
(03:50):
every single detail.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
As you said, did you say custom tesla.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
Yes, I have to look at pictures of the custom
Tesla he wants, which so in so many ways I
already said everything you need to know, okay. And then
it was weird because he gets saying he's like he
wanted to prove he was close to buying it by
showing me more pictures, which makes no sense.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
I know.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
It was the tesla.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
Yeah, the Tesla was strange. But then at the end
of dinner.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
It got really weird.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
Okay, here's the first he asked me if I've ever
been hypnotized, and then he wanted to demonstrate based on
a YouTube video that he saw hypnotized. Yeah, hypnotized, Like
he didn't think it was weird at all. I thought
it was really creepy. Well about the tesla thing too,
and he got really defensive.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
All right, Ryan, your turn hypnotized.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Well the hypnotized I was just joking. I didn't really
want to hypnotize you trying to break the ice. I
think you were a little uncomfortable after me talking about
a car I want to buy.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
I don't know the thing that the cheese, the cheese
thing made me uncomfortable to che.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
What's the cheese thing? There's a cheese thing.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
He's told me that, Like everyone knows that there's a
certain order you need to eat a cheeseboard in, and
I apparently that it's in the wrong order.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
What's the hold on? What's the right order for a cheeseboard?
Speaker 4 (05:24):
I don't know, but apparently you're not supposed to be
the blue.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Cheese first, you're not. It's soft cheese, cheddars whatever. Then
blue cheese is at the end, and you know every
everybody does know that.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
I mean.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
You would have to. I mean, blue cheese is so
strong you have to eat it last.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
What did you eat it first?
Speaker 4 (05:47):
Messed up?
Speaker 3 (05:48):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (05:49):
She did. I'm disgusting. Why would you even want to
take a day with me if I messed up that badly?
Speaker 3 (05:54):
I mean, you mentioned the cheese I kind of don't,
but you know, I just want to find out you
never texted.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Me back, so I can't even tell if you're kidding.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Ryan, I've got goals. Some girls are into guys with goals.
You know.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
I'm not not into guys, like nothing about them. Proving
about the goal is not attractive.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Point taking.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
This is weird.
Variety from the two thousands, the nineties, and today it's
