Speaker 2 (00:47):
And about sure?

Speaker 1 (00:49):
Or just for the show just to let you know
how things are. Well, I'm sorry for you about that.
I'm Laura Kane. This is Laura Kane. After Dark producer
Brian runs. Everything he does, he does his best and
he does a great job. And today tonight, whenever you're

(01:10):
listening or watching, we are going to focus on being
single in San Diego. Because my roommate number one Marie,
my roommate number two Antonio, the three of us are single.

(01:31):
So we did a thing this weekend where it was
like speed dating, but it wasn't. It was something a
little different. And you have to buy tickets. I think
they're like nineteen bucks apiece, and it was at a
brewery and it was like a meet and greet sort

(01:55):
of dating thing, something out of the box. We decided,
all three of us we went together to experience it.
And I met the woman who is the marketing person
for this place, for this company called Jigsaw, and they
put on a bunch of events for singles all throughout
the year. And so we're going to talk to her

(02:17):
and interview her. But I wanted to give you some
stats about singles in San Diego.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
Oh boy, they're all depressed.

Speaker 3 (02:25):
They're all very lonely.

Speaker 1 (02:26):
Do I seem depressed?

Speaker 2 (02:28):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (02:29):
Do I no?

Speaker 2 (02:30):
Deep down?

Speaker 1 (02:33):
Deep down? Well I am on antidepressant. So there's that.
So there is.

Speaker 3 (02:39):
So you're right, but I one of those things requires
the other.

Speaker 1 (02:45):
The only reason is because they put them on that.
They put me on them when I was in rehab.
And my philosophy is I'm just going to keep taking
them because I'm too afraid to see what happens if
I go off of them. So why not. That's what
they're for, a big deal.

Speaker 2 (03:03):
Okay, I'm calling on that. Okay, whatever.

Speaker 1 (03:06):
Anyway, So in San Diego County currently there are four
hundred and thirty three thousand and seventy four single women.
Sounds a little ass from the internet. I looked up
who knows?

Speaker 3 (03:22):
Oh, okay, so we know it's the best available information.

Speaker 1 (03:25):
This is the information I just got.

Speaker 3 (03:26):
On the site of your sources, Laura.

Speaker 1 (03:28):
Fifty two percent of the two point five million people
twenty years and older in San Diego County are unmarried.
Doesn't mean they're single, but they're unmarried.

Speaker 3 (03:40):
Fifty two percent of the two point five millions.

Speaker 1 (03:43):
People who are above twenty and older okay in the
county are unmarried. Okay, fifty one point one percent of
those are men, so it's very even.

Speaker 3 (03:56):
Wait, so half of all adults are single in San Diego.

Speaker 1 (04:02):
I don't know, I just wrote down. I don't.

Speaker 3 (04:04):
Okay, anyways, continue don't confuse me.

Speaker 1 (04:09):
So there are many ways to not be single. There
are many dating apps. I've tried many of them, including
sugar Daddy ones. We won't go back into that. It
was many, many years ago when I was work a
lot more stupid than I am now. I've tried bumble,

(04:29):
I've tried plenty of fish, I've tried hinge, I've tried
e harmony, I even did that way back in like
two thousand and eight, because I thought that would be
the best one because you have to fill out like
pages upon pages upon pages of things about your personality and.

Speaker 3 (04:46):
You were desperate, and.

Speaker 1 (04:48):
I thought it was the best one.

Speaker 2 (04:49):
Because what's the one that the the women say hi
to the men and every time he said hi to
guyd'd send you a dick peck?

Speaker 3 (04:57):
What bumble hinjs? Are you talk about one where the
chicks had the message first or.

Speaker 2 (05:03):
Are you just talking about well, every single it seemed
like every single time she messaged the guy and said hi,
they did oh it was hook up. They didn't even
say hello, they just sent a dick pic. Yeah, and
then she would be like, oh my god, she'd send
it to me and I'd make it into it like
a lollipop or be careful with that.

Speaker 1 (05:20):
You know what you should do because he covers them
up so well with his artistic drawings.

Speaker 3 (05:24):
We cannot show it now, you can't tell it. No,
we can't show it. That's illegal.

Speaker 1 (05:29):
I would really love to show, like do a gallery art.

Speaker 2 (05:33):
No, it's so illegal.

Speaker 3 (05:34):
We cannot do that. Don't ever show anyone that stuff.
It's so illegal.

Speaker 1 (05:37):
Well, I haven't gotten a dick pick in a long time.
But actually I shouldn't even have said that because I don't.

Speaker 2 (05:42):
I really know they're not really going to get a bunch.

Speaker 1 (05:44):
So this company is called Jigsaw Dating San Diego and
they have happy hours they where they play games. The
game that we played was like a Bingo and and
you had to go around and like mingle with people
and then ask the questquestions on this bingo sheet and
you had to write down the name of the person
that answered it and then if you got bingo, I

(06:06):
don't know.

Speaker 2 (06:07):
It was my god, I want to create one of
those Bengo sheets. The questions like what kind of questions?

Speaker 1 (06:14):
Really a horrible one?

Speaker 2 (06:15):
Yes, have you ever had chlamydia? Oh?

Speaker 1 (06:18):
My god?

Speaker 2 (06:19):
Like do you like anal?

Speaker 1 (06:21):
So I pulled the woman who is the marketing person
for Jigsaw, and I pulled her aside and I did
a little interview and I said, would you be on
our show to talk about this company and the different
ones that you represent in dating in San Diego and
being single in San Diego in general, And she said,

(06:42):
of course. So we're going to call this number right now.
I call Her name is Carolyn Mattini. She was super
nice and when I was annoyed talking to some of
the men that were there. Oh, by the way, that's
why I had to lie about my age because it
was forty five, was the app But I didn't want
to be in the fifty to sixty five year old group.

Speaker 2 (07:04):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (07:05):
Yeah, but plus I wanted to be with Marie in
my roommate. She's twenty nine.

Speaker 3 (07:08):
I think the age pool that you guys are interested in,
at least it should be different.

Speaker 2 (07:13):
That age pool is called deadpool.

Speaker 3 (07:17):
That's so mean, except yeah, that's Laura's.

Speaker 1 (07:20):
I Actually, the reason I did it is just for
the experience and.

Speaker 3 (07:23):
Just to see it trying to snack a twenty five
year old.

Speaker 1 (07:27):
You know, I do like them young, not that young, though,
Oh I do. I can't help what I'm attracted to. Okay,
for teacher, not that young though, My god, you're years younger.

Speaker 2 (07:39):
Graduate lord.

Speaker 1 (07:41):
Okay, So this is Carolyn.

Speaker 2 (07:43):
And does Carolyn know that you took ten years shape
ten years off your life?

Speaker 1 (07:47):
No one, she won't know that, Okay.

Speaker 2 (07:49):
She will. I tell her. What she watches herself on is.

Speaker 1 (07:52):
My phone up? Is the is the sound up? Because
here we go it's not connected. Why is it not
who it is?

Speaker 2 (08:03):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (08:03):
I always do this, I always get confused.

Speaker 2 (08:06):
Well, Hi Laura, Hi.

Speaker 1 (08:12):
Carolyn, you are on Laura Kane after Dark. Welcome to
the podcast.

Speaker 4 (08:17):
Thank you, pleasure to be here. Thanks for having me.

Speaker 2 (08:20):
Hye, Carolyn.

Speaker 1 (08:21):
That's Eric Rimmer, my co host.

Speaker 4 (08:24):
Hi Eric, how dooey?

Speaker 2 (08:26):
Good? How are you?

Speaker 4 (08:27):
And this is producer the earthquake? You too? Did you? Guys?

Speaker 2 (08:32):
We did?

Speaker 1 (08:33):
Are you okay? Did you survive?

Speaker 4 (08:36):
Yeah? Yeah, I didn't even feel it at all. I
was evacuated from work for like one minute. We went
out by that was it.

Speaker 1 (08:45):
And you didn't even feel it?

Speaker 2 (08:46):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (08:46):
Well, it was very short, but Brian felt because he
was close to the closer to the epicenter. But anyway,
the reason we have you on the phone is because
we had such a great conversation at the event on
Saturday at the Brewery, and I thought it'd be great
to have you on to talk about being single in
San Diego and the different things that are available now

(09:07):
to meet other singles in this county. And I really
thought that the event was unique. And I love the
idea of speed dating, and I know that that's something
that's out there as well. But I was hoping Carolyn
Mattini that you could talk about what it is Jigsaw
does and the different events that you're involved in and

(09:30):
that kind of thing.

Speaker 4 (09:32):
Yes, absolutely, Yeah, that was a lot of fun this weekend.
It was great to see you there. And yeah, so
Jigsaw is a new type of dating app that's not
just wiping through photos because as you know, it's really
difficult to meet people nowadays, you know, online you're hiding
behind the screens and you never know what you're going

(09:54):
to get and it's nerve wrecking having to you know,
just chat back and for message message keep track of
all the emails. But Jigsaw is actual, you know, it's
an online app, but it's also you know, in person
events that they have nationwide in every major city and

(10:15):
several times a month there is a Jigsaw meet up.
There's a mid day happy hour mixer, there's a painting
and wine event, there's the you know, speed dating at
different cafes. There at really really fun venues all over

(10:36):
the city. And this past weekend it was at the
the Brewery. The Oh I'm drawing a blank and I've
got to say their name because they were an excellent venue.

Speaker 1 (10:49):
It was I remember I was drawing a blank too, Mesa.
It was really nice.

Speaker 4 (10:55):
It's on the tip of my tongue, okay it so anyways,
Oh Ballast Point, Yeah, sorry, Ballast Point. They have amazing
We did one at their location in Little Italy and
the past weekend it was at the other Carmel Valley

(11:17):
Carrol Canyon Road location and it's such a big space,
great venue, great food, great drinks, and people had a
lot of fun. So you know, you get to actually
see the people in person, and it's great networking and
it's just you know, expanding your social circle and putting

(11:39):
yourself out there. And it's a lot of fun because
at each of the venues, you know, there's just like
we did one at the Aero Club and Mission Hills
and it's like Chucky Keys. You know, you're just playing
a lot of fun games and you know, getting to
know people. So it's like it takes the edge off

(12:00):
up and Jigsaw provides all these tools, like these fun
ice breakers cards and the speed dating is very structured,
so it's like you get this dedicated time with each person.
The the men will sit down across from a woman
and then you'll have like, you know, a few minutes

(12:21):
to have a conversation. You can use the ice breakers
or just kind of improv and you know, make up
your own conversations and then at the sound of the bell,
the men stand up and you know, rotate to the
next person. And it's also you know, we have every population,

(12:42):
age group and persuasion too, so you know, we're we
have LGBTQ events. We have just a little something for everyone,
and so you know, it's just it's something different because
how can you really, you know, get a feel for
who that person is just through you know, the app

(13:06):
and it's and.

Speaker 1 (13:08):
The cat fishing possibility and everything like that. That's always
a scary thing because you don't really know at least
you see.

Speaker 4 (13:17):
So I saw people have been vetted through the app,
and it's that's great.

Speaker 1 (13:23):
There was a man who was there who was he
looked very, very shy, and of course I went up
and I talked to him because you know, I wanted to,
you know, break the ice with somebody. But what would
you say to somebody who thinks this is a good
idea and says, you know what, I really want to
do it, but it is shy? Is a person that
doesn't normally put themselves out there. Why should they do this?

Speaker 4 (13:45):
Yeah, so we we have the support. You know, we're
like really good wingmen or wing women, and so we
we get a lot of that. Like I have seen
so many you know, people with social anxiety, and you know,
they'll show up and they'll tell me that and you know,
they're not really used to this, and we just kind

(14:06):
of were there to support and you know, we we
really do a lot of like you know, coaching, and
we help them through it and and by the end
of it, they're like, I'm so glad I did this.
You know, at first I was nervous, but you know,
and then they keep coming back and they just kind
of get more comfortable with it, and they make new

(14:27):
friends and they go out on dates and they just
you know, a lot of people, I've had a lot
of successful you know matches, a lot of people I've
run into. I'm like, oh, I haven't seen you at
the Jigsaw events and they're like, yeah, I met this.
You know, I'm dating this person through Jigsaw and you
know we're exclusive now, and so it all works. Yeah,

(14:51):
the statistics really have shown, Like I saw one study
that said people that meet through you know and online
and dating app they're more likely. I think it was
something like in the ninetieth percentile of success rates of
really you know, finding their perfect match that they're really

(15:12):
satisfied with and in a committed relationship long term. So
so yeah, it's it's a great way to do it
because as you know, we get in our comfort zones,
we get in our you know routine where we're just
you know, work home, watch Netflix, and we don't go out,

(15:33):
you know. So it's yeah, and even if you do
go out to the bar, you don't know if that
person out there is really you know interested with their
relationship status is So having that dedicated spase of you know,
knowing this group of people are you know, people that
are have been vetted, they've got great careers or they've

(15:56):
got you know, great personalities, and they're you know read
and interested in a relationship.

Speaker 1 (16:04):
So if somebody wants to know when the next event is,
where should they go and uh and find it?

Speaker 4 (16:13):
So they should download the Jigsaw app or go to
the Jigsaw website and just sign up and you'll see
all the fun events that we have coming up. And
like I said, they're in every major city nationwide.

Speaker 1 (16:28):
Oh jig science. Yes, yeah, are you a single person?

Speaker 4 (16:35):
I am dating and I host the events and so
I am you know, with someone exclusively, but you know,
I am a very good wing woman and I would
love to help people and so yeah, so I'm just
the host of the event. So I am just there

(16:56):
to to support and facilitate the games. Last weekend we
had the fun bingo scavenger hunt type game. So yeah,
all kinds of things like that. So that's that's my
role in the Jigsaw Dating app world.

Speaker 1 (17:15):
Well that's a good one, and thank you for doing that,
absolute and thank you for being on the phone with us,
Carolyn Mattini and Jigsaw Dating App. That's what we were
talking about, and we really appreciate your time and your knowledge,
and uh, good luck to you in the future events
and hopefully I'll see it one.

Speaker 4 (17:36):
Thank you. Yes, absolutely, Okay, I have a great night.
Thanks for having me.

Speaker 1 (17:41):
Bye Carolyn.

Speaker 2 (17:42):
Bye.

Speaker 1 (17:44):
Okay, So we sat around this table. Okay, this is
totally something I would do because I was getting uncomfortable
because there it was there. It was men heavy, believe
it or not. I thought it was gonna be a
lot more women men I.

Speaker 3 (18:02):
Feel like I'd see more men of these things.

Speaker 1 (18:04):
So there was a big round table and I, Marie
and I set ourselves down and we each had those
cards where you ask the questions or whatever, and they
were like they were such softball questions. I'm like, I'm
gonna spice this up a little bit.

Speaker 4 (18:19):
Oh no.

Speaker 1 (18:21):
And there was this one guy that just kept talking
and hogging the whole conversation. So there was some other
men that I was like, I feel like they need
to participate. So I was coming up with all sorts
of questions. So I felt like, all right, everybody, we're
gonna go around the table.

Speaker 2 (18:38):
I totally was so BOSSI is bossy.

Speaker 1 (18:42):
I don't even what were they doing working, Like what
was my problem? But I'm like, all right, go around
the table, and I want you each to say one
word describing yourself best. And then I did a lot
of other things like that, and then people started to
get up and leave the tape.

Speaker 2 (18:58):
Oh I colored, Oh my god.

Speaker 1 (19:02):
I also want to tell you about something that Marie did,
which I think is great because as a single young
person in San Diego with a business, she runs three restaurants,
she has no time.

Speaker 3 (19:15):
She's such an ambitious dater or too.

Speaker 1 (19:17):
She really is. She gives it, she tries, she does,
but she also you know, she's from France, she's been
here for a while. She has some friends, but she
also wanted to meet new people. But how do you
meet new people when you're running a business and you
have no time? And where do you go to meet

(19:38):
like girlfriends? So she found this site, this group of people,
and she met up with them. It was like a
breakfast meeting and it was like networking and also exchanging
numbers and meeting new friends, meeting new friends. It was
like a friendship meeting service. So I thought I'd give
you a couple of different ones that I saw online

(20:01):
because I think this is a great idea, because how
do you meet people? Well, she's young, but like at
my age, how do you.

Speaker 2 (20:06):
Meet me at funerals?

Speaker 1 (20:11):
That's what I do, other people's funerals, like are friends that?

Speaker 2 (20:16):
Yeah? Geez, So you're like so so sorry to hear
about so and so what do you think when do
you think you'll be ready to date again? Well?

Speaker 1 (20:29):
I wish she was home, which she's she works so
long and so late. But she really enjoyed it. She
got a lot out of it. She got some phone
numbers and it's just really special. So sorry, have you
been taking your medicine? Okay. One of them is called
City Swoon. The other one is Creative Mornings San Diego Dreamers,

(20:54):
San Diego Adventure Hub, girls who walk like if you
if walking is your thing and you want to find
a fellow person who likes to do the same thing hiking,
There's all sorts of people who like to paint people
girls pint out. If you just want to go drinking
with somebody, there's the worst names I've ever heard.

Speaker 2 (21:15):
Are bad, bad names.

Speaker 3 (21:17):
I would no offense. I would not join any of
these on the names alone.

Speaker 2 (21:21):
Well, it's like creative Mornings. I would change mornings to
spell m O. You are yes.

Speaker 1 (21:28):
Yeah, this says to me, this is a morning meeting
because for those of you that work in the evening,
it's perfect and it's creative. I like it.

Speaker 3 (21:38):
It's but you're way too optimistic for anything. It's so
hard to convince you.

Speaker 2 (21:43):
Is Brian and I have Hearts of Stone girls pint out.
That's awful.

Speaker 1 (21:49):
That is actually the most.

Speaker 3 (21:51):
Yes, but so cringey.

Speaker 1 (21:54):
It seems like that would be the most one of
the most popular ones because it's you have something to
ply yourself, Brian.

Speaker 2 (22:00):
We should we should communicate. We should do a men's one,
and I'll just call it circle jerks.

Speaker 3 (22:04):
There was one I didn't because it's funny.

Speaker 2 (22:07):
Yeah, see look at that. Look how creative I am.

Speaker 1 (22:11):
There was one on here for San Diego puzzle enthusiasts.
Oh there's something for Everybody's what I'm trying to say.
So if you are find yourself at an age where
you're like working so much and you need a girl,
you need your tribe. As a woman, you need your tribe.
And if you have lost some friends along the way,

(22:32):
or you things have happened and you need some more
women in your life, I would look into this. Just
google you know how to meet friends in San Diego,
and there's all these things pop up.

Speaker 3 (22:44):
Look, the only so many things to do now. The
only dating service you need is craiglist. Men looking for
women and women looking for men or men looking for men.

Speaker 2 (22:52):
I'm going to do I'm going to do one called
like like dong molding molding classing class or something.

Speaker 1 (23:06):
There's a funny story about God.

Speaker 2 (23:09):
I don't know if I'll Oh, God just tell it.

Speaker 1 (23:13):
Oh no, it's about somebody I used to work with,
and she's hysterical, and she went on Craig's list to
actually look for oh like a little part time job gig.

And then I also heard that Facebook dating is no Boyno,

Like you can there's like a oh god, are you kidding?
I heard that that is like kind of a little
bit on the shady side. I don't know. Maybe no,
I know, well, I know you because you're apparently perfect

(24:44):

Oh yeah, Laura told old man.

Speaker 2 (25:03):
We should we should do a bit. Since they have it,
let's do a profile for you.

Speaker 1 (25:08):
Marie and I made a pact that when she got
home from her trip where she just got home from
her trip, we were we were going to be completely
serious and create an online dating profile and be uh
make it, make it really good on purpose. And we

(25:30):
haven't figured out which site we want to use yet,
but I'm going to do it.

Speaker 2 (25:33):
I'm not help you.

Speaker 1 (25:35):
Well, I don't want it to be like I want
it to be real and authentic and also creative, but
like I want to be I want this to be serious.
I'm not doing it for just kicks.

Speaker 2 (25:47):
I'm going I'm going to work, Brian, let's do this.
We'll help them. And I mean I've already got the picture,
like you'll be dressed like a Catholic school girl and
she'll like she hopped off.

Speaker 3 (26:03):
Of We just need to go out to like a
hip place where young and old people like gather and
do it the old fashion way.

Speaker 1 (26:11):
I would love to do it the old fashioned way,
but I just doesn't seem to be warm just this.

Speaker 3 (26:17):
I don't know that it is working well.

Speaker 1 (26:21):
Or I'm spoke. Oh here's Marie right now. Oh yeah,
she probably won't want to go on, or my psychic told.

Speaker 3 (26:29):
Me that I was going to meet some God no please, no, Marie.

Speaker 1 (26:33):
I just talked about the friend group that you went to.
Do you feel like talking about it or do you
I talked about it for you, But did you enjoy it?
Would you do it again? And I think, yes, okay,
see yeah, I think it's a great idea. And she
came home, well you need friends.

Speaker 2 (26:58):
Yes, Oh I know how it works.

Speaker 3 (27:05):
I'm just saying that's not where i'd go to play
the game.

Speaker 1 (27:09):
And so they were just kind of like feeling it out,
not really serious about it.

Speaker 3 (27:17):
That's a separate issue, but that is an issue.

Speaker 1 (27:19):
So in order like do it if you're really serious
you go somewhere cool, you find someone attractive, and you
go and ask you go and talk and ask their number.
That sounds so easy, but it's not.

Speaker 2 (27:30):
No, it is that easy.

Speaker 3 (27:32):
And now it's uncomfortable, but it is that easy.

Speaker 2 (27:35):
Laura. I'm going to go with you the next time,
and I'm going to be like basically your suitcase pimp.
I'm going to go around the guys to be like, hey,
what do you think about this? Let's just go out.
It's not it doesn't have to be a complicated. Okay,
you're going with us?

Speaker 1 (27:49):
Do you want to come? All right? The four of
us are going to go out.

It's like North Park.

Speaker 2 (28:01):

going to be seriously our wingmen. You're going to help
us out and the and we will come home with
a phone number.

Speaker 3 (28:25):

Speaker 2 (28:27):
But oh I can all of a sudden, you can
be Marie's wingman. I'll be Laura's and she'll have She'll
have like a purse full of numbers, because I'm going
to tell people that you can put your knees.

Speaker 1 (28:38):
All I don't want it to be a joke. This
is gonna be.

Speaker 2 (28:46):
No. God, let's trust me. Let's not make any promises.

front door off and just put a turnstyle in.

set a date. We're gonna have a dude by the
end of May.

Speaker 3 (29:15):
Okay, don't get too ambitious.

Speaker 1 (29:16):
But all right, all right, end of twenty twenty five, man,
end of summer. How about that.

Speaker 3 (29:22):
You can make that go for yourself, okay, and of summer?

Speaker 1 (29:24):
Sure, bingo? All right. Anyway, I hope that helped somebody
that maybe was looking for something like that. I thought
it was a cool thing, and I I want to
I miss having somebody in my life. So this lonely,
but I kind of.

Speaker 3 (29:40):
This is about to get depressing.

Speaker 1 (29:41):
I'm not depressed.

Speaker 2 (29:42):
Well, here's there's some bullet points that I'm going to
like I could even do what like I could do
even like one of those presentations with like the little
you know what would you.

Speaker 1 (29:53):
Put up on your power points?

Speaker 2 (29:56):
Excuse me, on my on my power point. I could
just bring like a laptop up with me and you know,
have your picture. One of my bullet points to be
that you have no gag reflex.

Speaker 3 (30:06):
Okay, we're not We're not pipping her out now. I'm
gonna be honest with you, though you're gonna face you're
gonna face a little more challenges because.

Speaker 2 (30:15):
You're on the older side.

Speaker 3 (30:16):
Understood, it's gonna be a little tougher for you.

Speaker 1 (30:19):
Well, I think then, you know, obviously your job is
to find the older guys in maybe job.

Speaker 2 (30:26):
Yeah, job discot, Marie, I've got you.

Speaker 3 (30:30):
We but we need to we might need to hit
more like restaurant bars, not just bars.

Speaker 2 (30:34):
Yeah, maybe like a buffet.

Speaker 3 (30:36):
No no, no, no, no, not buffet, but like classy restaurants
they also have a large bar in them.

Speaker 1 (30:41):
University Heights will have something.

Speaker 2 (30:43):
Maybe we could go to Lafayette.

Speaker 3 (30:47):
Lafayette is a young man's place, but we can't go
there because I do love the Lafayette.

Speaker 2 (30:51):
Hey, Laura's just ten years younger overnight. True, So there
we go.

Speaker 3 (30:56):
But we can do University in North Park because they're
all on the.

Speaker 1 (30:59):
Same Yeah, all right, are you up for that challenge? Well,
for her, it won't be a challenge. She's like, no,
it's just such a catch.

Speaker 2 (31:06):
We're gonna we're gonna have to start at like two
o'clock in the afternoon, Okay, because you know.

Speaker 3 (31:10):
How you don't nothing starts until eight pm?

Speaker 1 (31:14):
Oh God, talking about himself. He wants to be in
bed by like forget.

Speaker 2 (31:18):
Oh yeah, but you know where we could go for Laura.
We could go to Walmart. Yeah we could. That's a
good one.

Speaker 1 (31:26):
I've been there many times. I have not seen any potential.

Speaker 2 (31:29):
That's because you're too busy. Tried to get Elvis out
before he ships in a nisle. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (31:34):
I went to peb this last weekend. So yeah, and
I wasn't drinking because I was driving.

Speaker 2 (31:38):
Awful that. I don't know how you can.

Speaker 3 (31:41):
I don't know how you can just stand being in
peeb without being hammered. It is awful.

Speaker 1 (31:44):
I've met I never connected with the PB scene even
when I.

Speaker 2 (31:49):
Was in college.

Speaker 3 (31:50):
It's like, I mean, it's, first of all, it's so trashy,
it discussed so trashy. And there's a million lines to
get in, Like the line is like an hour to
get in anywhere if you like. And the bars aren't
even nice, they're disgusting.

Speaker 1 (32:01):
What about Little Italy?

Speaker 3 (32:02):
Is that a good Oh, it's good, but it is
that's a little classy restaurant place.

Speaker 1 (32:07):
Not there's gonna be a bar ishaly to go out
to dinner.

Speaker 2 (32:13):
Okay, North Park is a good safe bet. I like
the University Heights.

Speaker 1 (32:17):
I like that idea.

Speaker 2 (32:19):
Oh, Marie, what do you think about this? Here's another
ballpoint that I would have for me. Yes, I would say,
because you're on the older side, you're a little nervous
and your handshake, so you won't have to really, you know,
put a lot of effort into a hand.

Speaker 3 (32:34):
John, that's so not Wow, that's so classy of you.

Speaker 1 (32:40):
He's been like this all night.

Speaker 2 (32:42):
She's gonna she's gonna wide up with a good one. Marie.

Speaker 3 (32:45):
You know you would think that for Eric that he
would be good at talking to men, but clearly he
can't sell a woman to a man. And to save
his life.

Speaker 1 (32:52):
Oh your lord, you guys are not going to have
a problem. I am, because he's not gonna take this seriously.

Speaker 2 (32:58):
I will, I will be game on, I be all business.

Speaker 3 (33:01):
Okay, form hold on for guys, it doesn't For guys,
it's not hard. It's just expensive. You gotta buy chicks drinks.

Speaker 2 (33:07):
It's not which is Oh, you better start saving your
money when you broke into that safe, did you have
any sort of a backup?

Speaker 1 (33:15):
Oh no, it's gone. It's it's empty, and it's broken
and I had to buy a new windshield.

Speaker 2 (33:20):
So then you better wear a T shirt that says
thirsty on it, because no, it is on.

Speaker 1 (33:26):
I'm excited. We'll pick a date and this is gonna
be good. I love it. I love the idea. Anyway,
Thank you Carolyn for being on our show.

Speaker 2 (33:36):
Here's another here's another bullet point, brain, she can't get pregnant, dude.

Speaker 3 (33:43):
He actually he makes a good point there, but I
wouldn't lead with that on the on the.

Speaker 1 (33:47):
Don't leave with any of the sexual stuff, or don't
even don't even lead with rehab, even though I have
oftentimes done them and I don't you should?

Speaker 2 (33:56):
Why would you? Why?

Speaker 1 (33:58):
I get nervous and I talk too much.

Speaker 2 (33:59):
Yeah so you. Yeah, here's what we're gonna do. Okay,
So here's let's say we're in a bar. Okay, we're

Is he his age?

Speaker 2 (34:14):

across the bar and I'm like, oh, this is this

Yeah, we both because we're both been out of Well,
I've been out of the loop for a long time.
So okay, well Leon, what this is gonna be good
practice for all of us.

Speaker 2 (35:11):
I'm going to say, do you have a leaf blower
for the cobb for the cobwebs and the tuble weeds.

Speaker 1 (35:17):
That's really gonna they don't get.

Speaker 2 (35:19):
A cob just a broom will do?

Speaker 1 (35:20):
You know what? Before we end this episode, I want
you to give me three good bullet points, serious bullet
points that you would share with a prospect.

Speaker 2 (35:30):
You have the best personality in the entire world. You
have to be true.

Speaker 1 (35:35):
Yes, they have to be true.

Speaker 2 (35:37):
Start again, Eric, Okay, you have a great personality. Okay,
great body, super super funny and down to earth not
quite funny.

Speaker 1 (35:49):
Uh, You're not going to say anything about a body.

Speaker 3 (35:51):
I'm not going to touch that with the tem foot pole.

Speaker 2 (35:53):
Did you not hear me?

Speaker 1 (35:56):
Thank you? Yes, he said. She she's ahead on two legs.

Speaker 2 (36:00):
Just she's all legs. She has no torso. I just
disagree the funny because you don't laugh at anything like
that is.

Speaker 3 (36:08):
A bunch of comedic. Yes, sometimes you make other people laugh.

Speaker 2 (36:12):
You're more of like the laugher, not like the joke. Teller,
you know, and I'm picking out here's the other thing.
I'm picking out your outfit and your makeup. Are you interesting?

Speaker 1 (36:23):
Are you going to be more conservative? Are you going
to sex me up?

Speaker 2 (36:26):
Are you going to I am not going to sex you.

Speaker 1 (36:28):
Up, all right, I'm not going to look preppy.

Speaker 3 (36:30):
You know, you have to do like tiny tease. I
would say mostly classy though, yeah, classy. You don't want
to be like y teas Like, there's gotta be a
little bit of teas there.

Speaker 2 (36:39):
Like you don't look like a prude, right, and with
your hair like the Beachi waves, you know, like your
hair and the Beachi waves.

Speaker 1 (36:45):
I do a dress or like jeans and now hot
cute top, boot.

Speaker 2 (36:50):
Jeans, jew top. You need a going out outfit?

Speaker 1 (36:53):
Yeah, okay, jeans you're like a cool like trousers.

Speaker 2 (36:58):
I would recommend jeans.

Speaker 1 (37:00):
Like nice pants, okay, nice pants, pants or a long thing.

Speaker 3 (37:06):
I know, I was just out. I actually don't know.
It's more about the top. The top is more important.

Speaker 2 (37:11):
What to show off the girls.

Speaker 1 (37:15):
Yet well not.

Speaker 2 (37:16):
Conservatively a little bit, a little.

Speaker 1 (37:17):
Bit as a man, a straight man, besides the face,
what attracts you like? What outfit would attract you immediately.
If you saw some girl, what would you what would
you like?

Speaker 2 (37:29):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (37:29):
This is nice.

Speaker 3 (37:30):
I mean this is subjective. I'm not a fan of
super revealing. Like it's sure, it's fun, but like someone
you Yeah, well it's just not someone I actually would like.
That's not it's probably not something long term that I
would be interested in.

Speaker 2 (37:44):
I think most men like the mystery of it.

Speaker 3 (37:48):
I don't think it depends if someone's just looking for
a one night thing.

Speaker 2 (37:52):
No, they don't need to be a mystery that. I
just think that. I just think it. I don't think
it matters if it's guys or girls.

Speaker 1 (37:58):
Leave something today, Yeah, I mean you don't.

Speaker 2 (38:01):
Need to see everything.

Speaker 3 (38:03):
Yeah, and it's not just about imagination. It's just like
I mean, I don't want to be too like I'm
objectifying here, but like no one, no one wants someone
who's just you know, looks like a street walker.

Speaker 2 (38:11):
Yeah for sure, male or female?

Speaker 3 (38:14):
Yeah, oh yeah, absolutely. You don't want to look trashy.

Speaker 1 (38:16):
Yeah, okay, I have a lot of good you're gonna
pick it out.

Speaker 2 (38:21):
Trash does not compete with class.

Speaker 1 (38:24):
