Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're waking up with fifth in the morning time mourning.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
Could I get your take on something? What do you
introduce someone as? Why does that sound weird in my head?
How do you introduce someone that you're not newly dating anymore,
but you're not quite boyfriend and girlfriend yet, you're not
officially there yet, but you're about to introduce that person
to important people in your life?

Speaker 1 (00:26):
What do you refer to them as? Please help me?

Speaker 2 (00:30):
Talk back with tiff On. iHeartRadio. Microphone is in the
top righting corner. Be the first to do so this morning, actually,
so if you're curious on the tail, hopefully you're seat
with an iced coffee. I have been dating someone for
six months and I'm extremely happy and I am a
okay with our timeline. We have had personal conversations about this.

(00:52):
I set the standard, he is set the pace, and
I'm cool with it, very very very slow burn. We've
been dating for six months, but he has asked me
yet to be his girlfriend, and like I said, I'm
okay with that timing. However, our Western and Southern w
EBN fireworks are this weekend and we have a very
big VIP client party and it's just a big party

(01:12):
that I'm going to, and I think, for the first time,
I'm gonna bring someone around people that are important to
me in that capacity.

Speaker 1 (01:22):
But I don't know what to call him.

Speaker 2 (01:24):
I can't be like, hey, this is Tom Brady. By
the way, if you're like, why do you refer to
this man as Tom Brady? Does he play NFL football?
Can he throw a spiral? And the answer is absolutely not.
And he couldn't be further from that. The man wears
Teevis sandals. On our first date back in March of

(01:45):
this year, he's into jiu jitsu and I had said, oh,
to find common ground.

Speaker 1 (01:51):
On the first date, I said.

Speaker 2 (01:52):
Oh, jiu jitsu is how Tom Brady lost Giselle, you know,
Giesel bunchin fell love other jiu jitsu instructor, and he goes,
who's Tom Grady? And I nearly collapsed And I couldn't
tell if that was a red flag or not, but
I kept showing up and here we are. No, he's
really special and I really really enjoy his company. And
again we've had conversation and you know, it's nice to

(02:12):
date someone that's completely removed from the world that I
am so immersed in.

Speaker 1 (02:17):
Every day. It's nice.

Speaker 2 (02:18):
It's a good balance, except for the Tiva sandals. But
I've gotten used to him. At least he hasn't put
socks on with him, all right. But again, he's getting
ready to come to this party with me on Sunday.

Speaker 1 (02:29):
And when I walk up to my boss, what do
I say?

Speaker 2 (02:34):
This is my this is who, this is just his name,
this is a friend friend. Feels a little cold and icy,
but that that's.

Speaker 3 (02:45):
What he is.

Speaker 1 (02:46):
I don't know what else to say.

Speaker 2 (02:47):
I haven't done something like this in a really long time,
So I'm being I'm being vulnerable right now, and I.

Speaker 1 (02:53):
Hope you can support me on that. I hope you can.
I hope you know.

Speaker 2 (02:56):
I hope that you can help, because even just a
thought of interducing someone new in.

Speaker 1 (03:01):
My life is a very big deal for me. And
I'm panicking a little bit.

Speaker 2 (03:06):
So talk back with tiff On, iHeart if you are like,
I don't understand how voice notes work. I can't handle
this right now, totally fine? Five one three seven, four
nine one oh seven one. What do you introduce someone
as if you're not official?

Speaker 1 (03:20):
How do you introduce that person to new people? Hi?

Speaker 2 (03:23):
Good morning, so fun fact, I won my high school
talent show lip syncing to that song, and it's always
been one of my favorites. I used to watch it
on MTV Hits and MTV Jams. Baby Kiss one oh
seven one is your party playlist throughout the Labor Day
weekend and make us your number one pre set on
the iHeartRadio app, and I will take care of the
bangers for you. All right, if you're just walking into

(03:44):
the conversation, We're gonna start with your talkbacks. How do
you introduce someone in your life that you're dating but
you're not official yet, when you introduce that person to
important people in your life, what do you refer to
the mess?

Speaker 3 (04:00):
Hey, tiff, I just wanted to talk about how you're
going to introduce Tom Brady at the fireworks this weekend.
I would just say, Hey, this is Tom Brady and
we've been dating and I'm excited to bring him here
and introduce him to you. I don't think you have
to go further than that or call him anything. Just
say you've been dating.

Speaker 1 (04:16):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (04:18):
Yeah, that just feels so much like so much exclamation explanation. Wow,
you can tell it's a Friday, and my brain is
short circuiting. Thank you for the talk back with Tiff.
Your insight is much much, much appreciated. Microphone is in
the top right hand corner when corner. When you search
kiss on the iHeartRadio app, you'll just see that little

(04:38):
microphone there if you're just walking into the conversation for
the first time. On this Labor Day Friday, I am
bringing the person that I've been dating for a little
while to a company party and we're not officially Yepp,
so I didn't know what to call him.

Speaker 1 (04:52):
Samantha and I were dming back and forth.

Speaker 2 (04:55):
We're kind of firing on all cylinders on the show today,
and she said, just use his first name. So are
you telling me that I'm just overthinking it right now?
You know, every once in a while, I too, am
just a girl.
