Speaker 1 (00:00):
So listen to this. There's somebody posted, there's a one
that posted and interactions she had with a guy that
she met on a dating app. Right, they're chatting. He
asked her out to dinner. She was into it, and
then he said this, shall we have a short walk
before the food to see how we feel?

Speaker 2 (00:17):
To see how we feel?

Speaker 1 (00:19):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (00:20):
That to see how we feel? Part kind of lingers
at me.

Speaker 1 (00:23):
The part that strikes me badly too, is he like auditioning?
Is he going to go like see if they do
we feel good with each other before we go on
the dinner date.

Speaker 3 (00:33):
But I don't mind the walk before. That's kind of cute.

Speaker 2 (00:36):
No, it's so annoying.

Speaker 1 (00:37):
Why why because you're getting ready?

Speaker 3 (00:40):
Yeah, I'm going to walk, take a little walk, stroll
on my heels.

Speaker 2 (00:43):
I'm not going to wear tennis shoes on my date.
Like hosting.

Speaker 1 (00:45):
You say that because I have been asked before in
my past. Are we walking anywhere before or after? Because
I need to know about my shoes? Or can we
not walk before after? Because I need to know about
my shoes.

Speaker 2 (00:57):
Right, if you want to go on a walk with me,
then it's going to walk.

Speaker 3 (01:00):
If you don't take me to dinner or take me
to dinner, but don't walk with you before my gosh,
go with.

Speaker 2 (01:03):
The floe, wear the walking shoes, and then bring your
heels for dinner.

Speaker 1 (01:07):
Like a big deal. We're you going to carry your
shoes right?

Speaker 3 (01:11):
Leave him in his car?

Speaker 2 (01:12):
I don't know, it's not that big of a deal.
What if you take a ride share right then you
wear you don't wear heels for the date? Like it's
not a big deal. I think. I agree.

Speaker 1 (01:22):
I change. I changed, just you know, Tony, I change
my transit pattern based on shoes. I'm not fighting that,
Like if you want to put on shoes, does that.

Speaker 2 (01:30):
We don't walk?

Speaker 3 (01:30):
But I'm you're already giving signs of high maintenance and
you don't go with the flow and so and so, Jordan.

Speaker 2 (01:36):
I'm not saying your shoe. I'm saying if one does this.

Speaker 1 (01:42):
Dating, yeah, not so fun, is it? I like walking
after if it's a walkable block or straight after you
have something. But I fully defer to shoe comfort and whatever.
If you want vanity shoe or scomfort shoe, I'm fine.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
And also like sitting jeans or standing jeans.

Speaker 1 (01:58):
Tell me about that.

Speaker 3 (02:01):
You know those jeans that are like, you have jeans
that that you can only stand in.

Speaker 2 (02:05):
Yeah, they're super it's because it snatches your waist.

Speaker 3 (02:11):
So those the jeans that you can stand and they
snatch your waist, but when you sit down, it's like,
oh it's so painful.

Speaker 2 (02:17):
Yeah, like there's sometimes that just doesn't give. And those
are my.

Speaker 3 (02:20):
Standing only jeans, right like if I'm going to a concert,
standing only jeans, but if I'm going to dinner, comfy
jeans both.

Speaker 1 (02:26):
If you thank you for these teachable moments because I
have no idea about that.

Speaker 2 (02:29):
Honestly, that's the whole thing. This is teachable
