Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
I went to the toilet, got my friend to send
me a fake COVID positive test like text, and I
changed the names at the NHS. This is a woman
that's going viral because of how she got out of
an awkward first date. Then I went down and I
was like from the toilet and I was like, oh
my god, look that's a positive. And he was like,
what you can do, and I was like, well, I'm
going to ask to get hime testing positive for COVID,

(00:21):
a fake positive test for COVID to get out of
a first date in case of emergency table show. Have
you ever had a very awkward first date? I'm sure
a lot of people have. If you do text in
four to one oh six one calls up eighty eight
three four three one oh six one. But I asked
the question because there's a trend of servers revealing the
most awkward dates that they've ever seen while working. And
being a server is awesome sometimes because you do get

(00:42):
to see some of the most awkward things. Ever, when
it comes to people dating from this point of view, yeah,
you also get to write your own story. Like you're
sitting here, sitting over in the corner and you're like,
you're talking about this and I'm talking about that. Here's
one of the stories that somebody shared about one of
the most awkward first dates they ever dealt with as
a service. As I worked at a server at an
upscale restaurant in New York City, a couple in their

(01:03):
mid forties came in and were clearly elated to be
in there on a date. And they ordered a really
expensive bottle of wine immediately, and I asked if they
were celebrating something, and they gushed that they had finally
decided to cheat on their spouses tonight. Wow, they were
going to a hotel right after dinner. Oh my goodness,
what do you say? Congratulation? Yeah? Sweet? Which you also

(01:26):
like a pie or something just like a pie, like
a birthday cake thing. I don't know what do you
get for someone who's just decided to cheat? You sing
for that's just saying that out loud, and then also
being like, and I'm going to the hotel. Oh okay,
Well I don't need to know all that, and you
know exactly what we're going to do with the hotel here,
I've gone out diagrams. It's been a lot since we've

(01:47):
done this because you know we're not getting it at home,
so we've been talking about it for a years. They're
so excited. Another story from the server about the awkward
date that they experienced was after appetizers two of the
most expensive entres, a high priced bottle of wine, and
dessert with a bottle of dom. The man on the
date said to me in front of his date, we're

(02:08):
on a first date. What more can I do to
guarantee I get laid tonight? Said? The girl with him
turned red and her jaw dropped. He says, I sat
the bill down and said, there's nothing you can do.
Do you imagine that I would have gotten up and
walked away if that was the girl he was depositing

(02:30):
all night into the bank account, I hoping he could
catch it, and at that point I just show him
see this. I'd like it sent to my house. Please
buy it, and then we'll see what happened. Another server said,
I watched an older gentleman on a blind date get
knocked out of his chair when he started having a
heart attack. He had a built into fribrillator, and I
guess that's what caused him to get knocked out of

(02:50):
his seat. So it like just shocked him and threw
him back out of his sight clear like, because that's
what those are right when they're in there. It's basically
like those little pads or whatever that are on your
heart all the time. So he just yeah, see what
you do to me. You're so beautiful, you stop my heart?
Can you pick me up please? Also, can you take

(03:11):
me to the hospital? And thinking to hurt my hand?
That's like scary and romantic, all of them. Another story
from a server about an awkward first date that they
had at their table said, a lady came in to
get a table, and she said she was expecting a
man and gave us a brief description. He showed up
about ten minutes later, and she started saying that she
knew it. He looked very surprised and scared. I took

(03:34):
a drink order, and then when I got back, they
were gone. The host filled me in that in my
absence they had a heated but civil exchange and the
man was married to the lady's cousin. Wow, and the
lady was also married to someone else. Apparently they've been
texting for a while and met via craigslist. Oh wow,
imagine having a hostess be like, hey, man, this is
what he met. Yeah, that's great. I worked in restaurants,

(03:56):
you know, most of my life until this job, and
it is pretty great. So time, did you see people
cheating on each other or leg being out on a
fair date? I'm sure I did. Yeah, definitely, I never.
I don't have any stories like these guys, But another
server said at a restaurant in Canada, a couple came
in from the USA and the man had a first
generation iPhone which hadn't even been released in Canada yet,

(04:16):
and the guy at the next table was so enthralled
at the device that he wouldn't stop talking to the
iPhone man. They talked so much that his date got
up without saying anything and just walked out, impressed. Are
you with an iPhone? iPhone one? Can we rescut to
this date? I got to talk to this guy about

(04:37):
his technology iPhone man, iPhone man. Another story from a
server about an awkward date that they had said two
guys came in separately and sat at different tables by
themselves along the same wall. They were both facing the
door and clearly waiting for dates. Eventually, a woman came
in and walked up to the closest guy and sat down.
After about five minutes, the other guy, who was still

(04:58):
waiting by himself, got up and w over to the
couple and said, aren't you so and so, I'm so
and so right. They introduced him. Sorry, we were supposed
to be meeting. She was clearly flustered. After lots of
awkward laughter, she got up and witnessed the other guy.
So she sat digging with the young guy and that
guy here either knew or didn't know awkward
