More variety from the two thousands thannineties. And today it's star one,
one three, y'all know what timeit is now? Second date? That's
saying, see what happened on thefirst date. That's not getting you a
second date. Yes, that's basicallywhat this is about. So we got
an email from a man, John, who has been holding patiently. John,
are you there? Hey? What'sup? Hey? Man? Tell
(00:20):
us about Cassandra. Start with like, how you guys met, and then
let's go to how the first datewent? Yeah, so modern love story.
Right. We met on Hinge andas soon as I saw a profile,
immediately attracted. She is a bignerd like I am. She had
(00:41):
her favorite comic book. This wasthe thing that stood out, like,
you don't find people with their favoritecomic book character on their profile. If
I told you how many slips I'vedone, it would be swipe left.
I should say it would be somany. But she loves Batman and that
(01:02):
immediately had to ask her out.So I asked her out. Um,
we meet up. We went toDublin for Burmese food. Um, it
was a little bit different, butwe we hit it off pretty fast.
You guys, you must both livein the Tri Valley. I don't think
nobody wakes up in like Burlin gaminggoes. You know where we should go.
(01:23):
Let's go to Dublin. Well allright, anyway, yeah who it
sounds delicious though it was. Itwas, it was really delicious. Um.
But yeah, we hit it off. We were talking about you know,
nerd culture and the new Flash andhow the Goat is back, the
(01:44):
goat Batman is back. Michael Keaton. Michael, Um, So, I
thought I thought the date went great. Like the only thing that like I
could possibly guess is the situation.Um is that our hug ones awkward?
I think? Yeah, so,so she's ghosted me and I can't figure
(02:07):
out why. So I'm like tryingto like process, like what right good
I have done? And I thinkit was a hug, Like maybe it's
a hug you needed to be abetter hugger. Is that what you're saying?
Well? Was it too invasive?I don't hug a lot of people?
Okay? So uh so maybe soI don't know. Okay, Um,
(02:28):
yeah, I'll tell you what.We're gonna make this really easy because
we're gonna call her and see howshe thought the date went okay, and
then we'll try to score you asecond date. That's the goal, all
right, Batman? Yeah, yeah, right, sounds good. Good.

excited to meet Cassandra because she's asnerdy as he is. I believe you
mean that as an endearing term.Yes, John, absolutely, right,
absolutely the most endearing video games,comics, movies. They love the Batman.
(03:10):
This is also cute. The onlything we can figure on the date
is that the hug at the endwas awkward, which I can't imagine a
reason not to call somebody back.John says he doesn't hug a lot of
people, so who knows. Yeah, I mean that's not a but she's
ghosted. That's not a reason again, fair question. Okay, Okay,
(03:31):
so weird. I know. Let'scall Cassandra and see if we can get
a second date. Hang on,here we go, Hello, Hi Cassandra,

Cassandra. John's feeling ghosted and hewants to know if it was the weird
hug at the end or was itsomething else? Did you do something?
(05:00):
Um? You know, we hada really great time. I was so
happy to connect with someone you know, so quickly. Usually doesn't happen like
that now nowadays, I feel likeit's things are so forced, you like,
meet someone on you know, hingewhatever, and then you're like forced
to have a connection like right away, and it's like there actually was a
(05:20):
connection right away, and that waslike really cool, except he just became
super rude, like right at theend of the conversation, and the food
was giving me like a crazy stomachache and it was just like too much.
And I wasn't comfortable at the endbecause you said some like really weird
sort of like ages comments towards methat I was not so how old you
(05:46):
are? Yeah? He was like, you look so good for your age.
And I was like what do youmean, Like what for my age?
Like how old do you think Iam? And then I said He's
like oh, and then I waslike yeah, I mean I'm thirty five?
Like and then he's like, ohmy god, I thought you were
forty five and I thought you lookedreally good for forty five. What to
(06:09):
do? Wait wait, wait,back it up, back John, shut
your mouth, John, John?What did you say? What did he
say? He said, you lookbrilliant, you look grave, but should
you look good for your age?And you and I'm and I was like,

age, like you look good forso Jason yesterday told me I look good
today, And I thought, whyjust today? That is another land mine
you never want to step in.You just say you look good and leave
off the nut for your age.Put that on your list, John,
right next to you for your ageto put up. Don't ever add to
(06:56):
tell a lady she looks good today. Yeah, leave it. I didn't
know the compliment was going to betaken the wrong way, Like I thought

forty five? Like, it's ait's like a compliment to you. Look
you look younger than you are.You look good for your age. Isn't
(07:20):

to help John, to be honest, Cassandra, this is gonna take quite
a bit of all that. Andthen I was also gonna go, like,
have a situation in the bathroom,so I had to get out of
there. Oh, you're gonna makesomething up. No, the Burmese food
was really immense on my stomach.Oh you were going to Cory and on
(07:42):

So we call it, we callit. We turned it into a
verb, corying you go and buyand sell a house at the same time,
