Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's like we're writing in our diaries, except we say

(00:01):
him aloud. We call him blogs calin.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
Yes, dear your blog, go all right, dear blog. So,
my boyfriend told me the other day that one of
the old gens as I call him, one of the
gen zs that he works with, texted him asking him
for advice about Valentine's Day because he was he didn't
really know, I guess, and he said, hey, when do

(00:24):
you book your reservation for Valentine's Day? Because I'm trying
to book right now and everything is all reserved. There's
no reservations I can find. And my boyfriend thought that
that was hilarious. And I was like, oh my god,
there's already no reservations and he was like, healing, you
have to book those like two months out. I was like,
you do, and I just feel I feel so shocked. So,

(00:47):
first of all, if you're a man that books two
months in advance, thank you for your service. I had
no idea. I mean, I know approaching women is hard,
asking women out is hard, but I didn't realize that
y'all were making reservations two months for Valentine?

Speaker 1 (01:01):
Is this true? Oh? Yeah, yeah, No, it's true.

Speaker 3 (01:03):
Really, you got to get ahead of the game, and
Timothy never does. So here's some advice for the gen
z or you were talking about. He has to find
another couple who already has the reservation. This is what
Timothy does. And then he just calls my brother and say, Hey,
we're gonna come to dinner with y'all, so can you
just add us to your reservation. So it's like you're
already at a table. They can just pull up two
more chairs.

Speaker 1 (01:23):
So it's gonna be a group Valentine's date because he
didn't have.

Speaker 3 (01:25):
On his game plans ahead. So we always spend the
Valentine's Day with my brother and my sister in law.

Speaker 1 (01:31):
Yeah, this is hard for me because I would have
to have a relationship longer than two months. Well, yes,
in order to plan two months ahead.

Speaker 2 (01:37):
You've done it before, though, You've done like a Valentine's
Day date?

Speaker 1 (01:40):
No, maybe, I don't know. I think one of the
women I dated in the last few years, I think
one of our first dates was on Valentine or it's
near or on Valentine's Day because that just it just
so happened. That's when we match.

Speaker 2 (01:54):
How'd you get a reservation because you know people, I
don't remember.

Speaker 1 (01:58):
I don't remember what I did. Yeah, and then I
know during COVID I dated somebody and then we but
like I think it was, uh, I would like make
up Valentine's Day or you had you some COVID version
of it or something. I don't know if that's what.
I made the whole menu and then went out and
got all of our favorite foods of all of our
favorite restaurants. That was very sweet that she didn't care. Yeah,
I don't I don't remember. I don't remember. She's still single,

(02:18):
by the way, so what all on me? I guess
I have.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
Been like with someone at one point who said I'm
going somewhere that we don't need a reservation. I was like, okay, yeah,
and we show up and it was just a place
that didn't take reservations and the wait was like three hours,
so we.

Speaker 3 (02:32):
Had to get tapo.

Speaker 1 (02:33):
We thought it was gonna be something like, you know,
this dude was up to something. You were going to
go someplace and he had it all planned out like
an apachelor. Yeah, you know, and then like the gin
Blossoms are going to pop out and play for you
or something.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
Okay, no, that would be my dream. Arizona's Finest. But yeah,
I guess I just.

Speaker 1 (02:48):
Did it, Arizona's Finest. Now you're saying they are you
know you're in You're in.

Speaker 2 (02:52):
The top ten probably yeah, yeah, but I just didn't
know y'all were doing that. I know you guys don't
go out anymore for Valentine's Day, right, Jase?

Speaker 1 (03:00):
Then who's supposed to drive the Valentine's Day stuff? Is
it supposed to be him or you or both of you?
How does that work? I don't even know. I feel
like if we were going to do something, I would
have to plan in and I just don't want to.
So it's just.

Speaker 2 (03:11):
Another see what's come on?

Speaker 1 (03:13):
Yeah, we'll just go to the regular spot. Yeah. Well
that's why I tend to go to the same, like
two or three restaurants all the time, because I know
the people there, so I don't have to plan ahead.
So I think people are like, dude, it's some originality.
I'm like, no, it's just that I don't I don't
think in my mind, like I better book a reservation
three weeks from now for the date that I don't
have's like I book a reservation. Maybe that would entice

(03:35):
me to date more if I just booked a bunch
of tables all the way out and then I'm like, damn,
I gotta find somebody to go with these things.

Speaker 2 (03:41):
That's not a bad idea, like restaurants you want to try,
I guess.

Speaker 1 (03:44):
But that's the thing. It's like, I don't I think
people think I'm lazy, And it's not that I'm lazy.
It's that like I'll decide on a Thursday to go
on a Friday or Wednesday and a Friday, and then
it's like, well, I can't get in anywhere, So I
wind up going to one of the two or three
places where I know somebody and call them a coming
and then I can get in.

Speaker 3 (03:59):
You know, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (04:00):
Shout out to the kings out there. Making two months
ahead reservation hard to.

Speaker 1 (04:04):
Be a man. I couldn't even say that on these
great favorites. The hardest thing is getting a Valentine's Day reservation.
And I think we're getting off very easy waiting by
the phone. Why did somebody get ghosted? It's next
