Speaker 1 (00:05):
Hey, this is Annie and Samantha. Look to Stephane. Never
told your protection of iHeart radio. So recently, Samantha and
I had a very long conversation. I had a lot
(00:25):
of like things I needed to say. I was on
my little you know, tirade, and I needed to let
them out. I'm sorry, but when it comes into taking responsibility, men,
why yes, yes, that was so we're This is our
part two of a two parter, an accidental two parter,
as they sometimes happened, where we were talking about dating
(00:48):
today and this was inspired by a conversation I had
with a group of friends. I was hanging out women
and they were telling me about their bad dating stories
and I was just like kind of horrified. To be honest,
that that is what dating is. But the original intent
was we were going to share funny, our own funny
dating stories, which we we are going to in this episode,
(01:10):
even though we both have our own terrible, bad dating stories.
But it's just hard. You can't separate that out. You
can't separate the reality that a lot of us are
facing as women when we date and a lot of
these things that it's to me outrageous and an absolute
(01:31):
crime that this is what dating means right now, that
you might experience some of the things people are telling
me that they experience, and that's just part of dating. Right.
By the way, did I tell you that the new
thing is having voice messages on your profiles and dating sites? Oh? No,
I feel like that's terrifying. I'm very yeah, I'm very
(01:55):
torried about that because I feel like I get the intent,
but also that own's awful, right, I'm honestly wondering. Oh
and I didn't even tell you this part. And I
know we even talk about experiences and I never really
did it. At one point in time, I almost joined
a dating club, and I need to know if people
did this, a dating social club where you all do
(02:15):
activities together and match up, so it could be I
think one of them was like white Water Rafting, but
you pay a hundred and fifty dollars to join the
social club. And of course I'm not even talking about Ray,
a dating site, which is a private membership based for
really like high up there. So I believe celebrities are
on the yeah, and the waiting list to get on
(02:39):
there is like years long, years long, years long. Anyway,
But all of that to say is I tried this
one social club and I went and sat down with
an agent. There's an agent and they had their own
office and had this whole interview with them, and I
was like, I cannot on. And I was a social worker.
I cannot afford a hundreds of dollars a month to
(03:02):
do activities. And it's supposed to include all the activities
like I think you do to a month or something.
But I'm like, I can't. I can't do this. But
do they still exist? Has anyone tried these? I need
to know? Yes, please, listeners, I want to know about that.
I've never heard about that, and I want to know
all about that. Yeah, And I was gonna make you
(03:24):
do a speed dating thing once. I still want to
do that. I'm gonna make you do this just to
just do it. I would do it. I think I
would be incredibly awkward and uncomfortable, but I would do
both of us. Yes, yes, Well that's kind of what
we're talking about in this episode, because we are focusing
on sort of those incredibly awkward, uncomfortable dates. And I
(03:45):
do I really do want to hear from listeners because
most Antha and I have plenty of bad stories that
are just truly awful, but kind of funnier bad dates
that we've been on. So I'll start. I once went
on an accidental date with a guy to the dining
hall at Georgia Tech, which is the college I went to,
and he didn't have any money, so he had to
(04:07):
use my buzz card to pay for terrible dining hall food,
and he accidentally spilled his his dish all over my
white shirt. Beautiful. I My actual first online date experience
happened when I was four. I went through this entire
(04:30):
thing and finally got the confidence to go out on
this date with a dude. And I believe it was
on match dot Com and I did pay for it,
if I remember correctly. Also, by the way, have you
all been watching these commercials for match dot com and
e Harmony y'all? It's serious? Is getting serious out there anyway?
So I went on a date with the dude. I
was a vegetarian at the time. I had read Skinny Bitch.
(04:52):
I don't know if you remember this book from way
back when. Essentially it was this book about vegetarianism where
the women were just talking about, you know, the meat
industry and how ugly it can be. And trying these things.
So I was like, you know what, yeah, let me,
let me be a part of this. And I get it.
So at that point in time, he and I had
been talking online, building rapport finally decide to go on
(05:16):
a date. Went to a suburb of Atlanta towards Cobb County.
I know you don't know where that is, but was suburb.
And we went and met at uh like a fancy airthplace,
I think Maggiano's or something. That was petrified of going
on a date a with a man I never met,
(05:36):
be in a location that I that wasn't where I lived. Um.
And then also, this is one of my first dates
ever ever point plate ever, So not only was I
really nervous, I was freaking out. So my roommate at
the time decided, we decided that she and her boyfriend
at the time would would come to the restaurant and
make sure I was okay, no Lie, We go and
(05:56):
get seated do and I got set and immediately knew
he was disappointed. I immediately his face said it, and
I was like, okay, cool. As I looked up, I
look up and see that my roommate and her boyfriend
were seated right behind us, right behind us, able to
hear our entire conversation. Everything I could even hear say,
(06:18):
You've got to be kidding me. You've got to be
kidding me. So two of these things are like, Oh
my god, what is happening in my life? And at
that time we were talking and he just sat there.
We ordered our food, and he orders of all things,
knowing that I'm a vegetarian, but not knowing why veal.
He orders one of the most politically incorrect meets ever
(06:41):
to exist outside of for gra essentially Veal, and I
just sat there and stared at him for a minute.
He's like, you know, I just like to order things
that I kicked myself so and he is going to
town on it. After we get done with our conversation,
which I can't remember because it was that bland bland
of land, we left and parted ways and never talked again.
(07:03):
But I was just like, what is this and why
have I done this? Yeah, that's a that's a power
play for sure. Oh my goodness. Okay, well, oh no.
(07:32):
I once went on a date with a guy to
the Olive Garden, also in the suburbs, and then he
proceeded to pour a drink on me to prove a point. Uh,
And then I asked for my pasta to be packaged
up and had to wait for him to finish so
he could drive me home because he was my ride.
I've had that as in fact, another date that I've
(07:55):
had after my experiences. He and I met up at
one of our local bar in Atlanta, and he's sitting
there with his computer, and I was like, oh, hey,
what's up. Nice to meet you, in which he proceeds
to tell me that he is an entrepreneur and that
he was getting ready for or he had just finished
one of those two things, a big pitch meeting because
(08:16):
people were really excited about his new program in which
he shows me and this program, Yes, so my date
turned into a presentation, y'all. Uh, turns his computer around
to show me that he has started this pitch in
which he has created a network where you can select
up to six friends to sit and share messages and
(08:39):
get a group chat and all these things. And at
that time, by the way, was when was it the
Google Circle? You'll have to remind me. At that point
in time, which is supposed to have your six friends
and all these things and it I had already been happening,
and I said, wait, is this like Google Circle? Like
is it is that what this is? And he was
(09:01):
not happy. It goes no, no, no, it's different because
you don't have to use Google and it does this
is this, which essentially is what Google was, and I
was like, so Google Circle. He did not like that,
but he thought I was being funny. This is one
of those moments when dudes think women are just being
funny to be cute and flirty, and I'm like, I'm
(09:22):
not being funny. I'm serious, and I'm calling out how
this is fallible. This is not this is not gonna work, bro,
this is not gonna okay, cool cool, cool um? And
I was like, you know what, that's interesting as he
continued to explain to me why it was different because
he thought I was joking. And at that point, Sarah like,
the waiter comes and he goes, would you like another drink?
(09:42):
I'm like, no, I'm good. Can you go ahead and
give me the and he's like, no, I have another
beer so cuts me off. After I didn't know, I'm good,
can we get So I had to wait and watch
him get a whole other beer. And when he proceeds
to split the check and we leave, he tries to
give me a hug and I was like, I'm good bye.
And then he sends me pictures of some art he
did that didn't make sense, and he was like, look
(10:04):
I thought of you and did this and it was
just squiggly lines. Oh no, oh no, you're stirring some
memories I forgot. Oh god, another another bad day is
going to mind. One time, this guy took me to
a pizza restaurant that's very near me, and I no joke.
(10:29):
I think I said literally nothing on the entire date,
and he just proceeded to tell me all of his
thoughts and opinions about Game of Thrones. And then I
was walking to my car like I was like goodbye.
I'm getting in my car. He's still talking to me
about games. He's following to my car, He's still talking
(10:52):
about Game of Thrones. I'm like getting in and he's
like still going looking in the window, and I just said, away,
what has happened to me? Oh my god? And I
forgot my iconic first date ever at sixteen years old,
(11:12):
and it has nothing to do with online dating. He
was a friend of my brothers, and he and I
went on one date. It was fine, and that date
was going to church together. We went to church together.
Second date, I go with him, he goes to UH.
We ended up going to his house for some reason.
We didn't go in, but he had to go do
(11:33):
something in his house. This is in the day and
age of CD players that get hooked up to your
truck or your car. He had a truck, um so
we had with because cassette tape. You know we're talking
about I'm talking about. So he had a CD playing
and at one point in time, I'm sitting in the corner.
We're just talking and again, cool, everything's cool. The CD
(11:56):
starts skipping, as it sometimes does. He smacks it a
little bit. It like okay, cool, and it does it again.
He smacks it a little harder, kind of screaming this time,
and I was like, okay, what's happening. And then it
proceeds to continue to skip. So he picks up d
CD player yes it's like a portable CD player, and
starts smashing it on his head, screaming about how nothing
works and just screaming and slams it down and then
(12:19):
I just sit there and stare at him, and he
continues on his conversation to the end of the day.
We go home. I go home and I'm like, oh
my god, what just happened, in which he proceeds to
call me and I was like, you know what, I
don't think this is gonna work, in which he starts
screaming about how he loves me and that how this
was we were meant to be and that Jesus had
(12:40):
brought us together and that there's no one else for him.
And I said, you'll be fine. I promise. He's like, no,
I won't. I will never be okay this you, I
will never be okay. Two days, y'all? Two days? Wow? No,
what I'm thinking about it? That might have been wide
and date till I was twenty four, Like this is
(13:01):
all right if this is what it is, and I'm out.
I'm out. I have been proposed to for marriage twice.
I've been proposed to. I would have vomit did and
run away. I kind of did run away both times.
So I had another date where I told the guy
(13:26):
I was sick and he thought I was trying to
just get out of the date, but I was sick.
And then he was like, no, no, I don't believe
you were doing the date. I don't care if you're sick,
I'll get your germs. So I show up. I threw
up all over him when he tried to kiss me,
like everywhere, and then he walked in on me in
(13:47):
the bathroom peeg because he was worried. Oh hell, yes,
I told him I was sick. I told him, and
then I was like, I'll be fine him. Good for you.
He deserved that, he did. He did. And then I
(14:12):
had a guy at one time. A guy was doing
what he called spider touches and he was just like
doing these like spider fingers on my back and then
I told him to stop. And then my shirt, my blast,
all the buttons popped off because of the way I
like stood abruptly. Luckily I had an undershirt on, but
(14:33):
I left in a fury. This seems like fiction. Like this,
though that sounds like fiction. What happened? I can't tell
if it's the beginning of porn or it was the
beginning of a Hulk series. I felt like I felt
like I was standing up for myself. To be honest,
I was. I was real mad get him. I like it.
(15:11):
I will say I have a few more stories, but
to be honest, they do go down the little darker road.
I will tell you I have been the bad day
before where I kind of just lose it and I
am so nervous that I can't stop talking, to the
point that the dude thought I was endearing though, but
in my mind, I'm like, this is going really bad.
(15:31):
I can't stop talking. Please make me stop talking. I've
been the bad date in terms of I didn't really
want to be on the date, and I probably should
have just said that, but I went along with it
because I was like, maybe, but I have definitely been
a not so nice date before where I'm just not interested.
(15:55):
Yeah you know what though, And I have just recently
discovered this term. I have been a victim of love bombing,
and I did not realize that that was a thing.
It felt very validated when I was like, oh, oh,
that's what happened. That was manipulative. How dare he? Yes? Yes,
(16:15):
and we want to come back into an episode on
that for sure. I also broke up with a guy
over tigers once because he thought tigers should not be protected.
He said, what did he want a tiger. No, he
said no, he said, because I was saying we got
to protect him from extinction. He was like, why, what's
(16:35):
how's it going to impact your life if you're gone?
I got really oranged. We broke up into Barnes and
Noble and I had to call my parents a campaign.
That's amazing. That's amazing, terrible Barnes and Noble. I feel
(16:56):
like that it is also the beginning of sitcom on
that one. Barnes a Noble is a very specific type
of people, type of when you were like, that was
the place to go, Like you went to the bars
of Noble and you've got a coffee. I went there
to study, so I don't I guess I was a
real nerd oh No, we went there to hang out.
I also would go to Starbucks and places to watch
(17:17):
other people go on dates. Yes, I do love that.
I'm so sorry to be a peak or to those
if they've ever noticed me. Sorry, we should talk about
that though. That kind of like borrism of watching somebody
on a on a day. Oh, that was one of
my favorite things. I'm so sorry. Once again, as a bartender,
it was one of my favorite things to watch. Yes,
(17:41):
I'm sure so good. Also, just want to throw in
honorable mention. One time I was on a date and
the toilet was clogged and I did amazing things to
fix that toilet because I was worried he would think
it was me. And I've heard that story from multiple people,
so I think that is a common strong uh. And
(18:02):
then also also a lot of people that I asked
about this wrote in about other guys kind of like
being jerks and I guess like cheering when you left
the room or something like you were in the conquest. Yeah,
so basically like if they thought the guy had had
sex with you, their friend had had sex with you,
(18:22):
you would leave and they would all cheer. And is
it like a fat thing? Because that sounds like a
very fat thing And I want to punch someone in
the throat just for that. Many people wrote to me
about that, so that is yeah, and it's gross. But
a lot of people, when I asked them about their
bad dates that were funny that's what they came back with,
And I was like, this is fine. Yeah, I did
(18:47):
go on a date with a dude who we ended
our night. Oh, I want to hear it. Oh in
the basement of his house that he shared with his sister,
so we could put on his um idiom d J
station for me. Yes, lights, strove lights and all y'all. Yes,
(19:12):
I love it. I love it. I was gonna do
a whole thing. I'm like I did a seven minutes
in Heaven once with a guy and he had braces,
and his braces got caught on my lip and we
had to let go. You had the classic teenage nightmare,
sitcom nightmare. I mean, what is your life like I have?
(19:33):
I feel like I do have the ridiculous I hate
the show Girls, But if there was, I would be that,
and you would be any other sitcom that was adorable
and cute, and I would just be gross. Well, you
know there's a sitcom a television show for all of this. Wow. Well,
(19:54):
clearly we have a lot of stories and we didn't
even get through all of them. So we we did
not and we to hear from you listeners. If you
feel comfortable sharing, if you've got a funny, bad dating story,
if you've got thoughts about dating at all right now,
which sounds like a real nightmare to me, but I
understand that it's not to everyone, Please send them our away.

I was like, you know what, that's interesting as he
continued to explain to me why it was different because
he thought I was joking. And at that point, Sarah like,
the waiter comes and he goes, would you like another drink?
(09:42):
I'm like, no, I'm good. Can you go ahead and
give me the and he's like, no, I have another
beer so cuts me off. After I didn't know, I'm good,
can we get So I had to wait and watch
him get a whole other beer. And when he proceeds
to split the check and we leave, he tries to
give me a hug and I was like, I'm good bye.
And then he sends me pictures of some art he
did that didn't make sense, and he was like, look
(10:04):
I thought of you and did this and it was
just squiggly lines. Oh no, oh no, you're stirring some
memories I forgot. Oh god, another another bad day is
going to mind. One time, this guy took me to
a pizza restaurant that's very near me, and I no joke.
(10:29):
I think I said literally nothing on the entire date,
and he just proceeded to tell me all of his
thoughts and opinions about Game of Thrones. And then I
was walking to my car like I was like goodbye.
I'm getting in my car. He's still talking to me
about games. He's following to my car, He's still talking
(10:52):
about Game of Thrones. I'm like getting in and he's
like still going looking in the window, and I just said, away,
what has happened to me? Oh my god? And I
forgot my iconic first date ever at sixteen years old,
(11:12):
and it has nothing to do with online dating. He
was a friend of my brothers, and he and I
went on one date. It was fine, and that date
was going to church together. We went to church together.
Second date, I go with him, he goes to UH.
We ended up going to his house for some reason.
We didn't go in, but he had to go do
(11:33):
something in his house. This is in the day and
age of CD players that get hooked up to your
truck or your car. He had a truck, um so
we had with because cassette tape. You know we're talking
about I'm talking about. So he had a CD playing
and at one point in time, I'm sitting in the corner.
We're just talking and again, cool, everything's cool. The CD
(11:56):
starts skipping, as it sometimes does. He smacks it a
little bit. It like okay, cool, and it does it again.
He smacks it a little harder, kind of screaming this time,
and I was like, okay, what's happening. And then it
proceeds to continue to skip. So he picks up d
CD player yes it's like a portable CD player, and
starts smashing it on his head, screaming about how nothing
works and just screaming and slams it down and then
(12:19):
I just sit there and stare at him, and he
continues on his conversation to the end of the day.
We go home. I go home and I'm like, oh
my god, what just happened, in which he proceeds to
call me and I was like, you know what, I
don't think this is gonna work, in which he starts
screaming about how he loves me and that how this
was we were meant to be and that Jesus had
(12:40):
brought us together and that there's no one else for him.
And I said, you'll be fine. I promise. He's like, no,
I won't. I will never be okay this you, I
will never be okay. Two days, y'all? Two days? Wow? No,
what I'm thinking about it? That might have been wide
and date till I was twenty four, Like this is
(13:01):
all right if this is what it is, and I'm out.
I'm out. I have been proposed to for marriage twice.
I've been proposed to. I would have vomit did and
run away. I kind of did run away both times.
So I had another date where I told the guy
(13:26):
I was sick and he thought I was trying to
just get out of the date, but I was sick.
And then he was like, no, no, I don't believe
you were doing the date. I don't care if you're sick,
I'll get your germs. So I show up. I threw
up all over him when he tried to kiss me,
like everywhere, and then he walked in on me in
(13:47):
the bathroom peeg because he was worried. Oh hell, yes,
I told him I was sick. I told him, and
then I was like, I'll be fine him. Good for you.
He deserved that, he did. He did. And then I
(14:12):
had a guy at one time. A guy was doing
what he called spider touches and he was just like
doing these like spider fingers on my back and then
I told him to stop. And then my shirt, my blast,
all the buttons popped off because of the way I
like stood abruptly. Luckily I had an undershirt on, but
(14:33):
I left in a fury. This seems like fiction. Like this,
though that sounds like fiction. What happened? I can't tell
if it's the beginning of porn or it was the
beginning of a Hulk series. I felt like I felt
like I was standing up for myself. To be honest,
I was. I was real mad get him. I like it.
(15:11):
I will say I have a few more stories, but
to be honest, they do go down the little darker road.
I will tell you I have been the bad day
before where I kind of just lose it and I
am so nervous that I can't stop talking, to the
point that the dude thought I was endearing though, but
in my mind, I'm like, this is going really bad.
(15:31):
I can't stop talking. Please make me stop talking. I've
been the bad date in terms of I didn't really
want to be on the date, and I probably should
have just said that, but I went along with it
because I was like, maybe, but I have definitely been
a not so nice date before where I'm just not interested.
(15:55):
Yeah you know what though, And I have just recently
discovered this term. I have been a victim of love bombing,
and I did not realize that that was a thing.
It felt very validated when I was like, oh, oh,
that's what happened. That was manipulative. How dare he? Yes? Yes,
(16:15):
and we want to come back into an episode on
that for sure. I also broke up with a guy
over tigers once because he thought tigers should not be protected.
He said, what did he want a tiger. No, he
said no, he said, because I was saying we got
to protect him from extinction. He was like, why, what's
(16:35):
how's it going to impact your life if you're gone?
I got really oranged. We broke up into Barnes and
Noble and I had to call my parents a campaign.
That's amazing. That's amazing, terrible Barnes and Noble. I feel
(16:56):
like that it is also the beginning of sitcom on
that one. Barnes a Noble is a very specific type
of people, type of when you were like, that was
the place to go, Like you went to the bars
of Noble and you've got a coffee. I went there
to study, so I don't I guess I was a
real nerd oh No, we went there to hang out.
I also would go to Starbucks and places to watch
(17:17):
other people go on dates. Yes, I do love that.
I'm so sorry to be a peak or to those
if they've ever noticed me. Sorry, we should talk about
that though. That kind of like borrism of watching somebody
on a on a day. Oh, that was one of
my favorite things. I'm so sorry. Once again, as a bartender,
it was one of my favorite things to watch. Yes,
(17:41):
I'm sure so good. Also, just want to throw in
honorable mention. One time I was on a date and
the toilet was clogged and I did amazing things to
fix that toilet because I was worried he would think
it was me. And I've heard that story from multiple people,
so I think that is a common strong uh. And
(18:02):
then also also a lot of people that I asked
about this wrote in about other guys kind of like
being jerks and I guess like cheering when you left
the room or something like you were in the conquest. Yeah,
so basically like if they thought the guy had had
sex with you, their friend had had sex with you,
(18:22):
you would leave and they would all cheer. And is
it like a fat thing? Because that sounds like a
very fat thing And I want to punch someone in
the throat just for that. Many people wrote to me
about that, so that is yeah, and it's gross. But
a lot of people, when I asked them about their
bad dates that were funny that's what they came back with,
And I was like, this is fine. Yeah, I did
(18:47):
go on a date with a dude who we ended
our night. Oh, I want to hear it. Oh in
the basement of his house that he shared with his sister,
so we could put on his um idiom d J
station for me. Yes, lights, strove lights and all y'all. Yes,
(19:12):
I love it. I love it. I was gonna do
a whole thing. I'm like I did a seven minutes
in Heaven once with a guy and he had braces,
and his braces got caught on my lip and we
had to let go. You had the classic teenage nightmare,
sitcom nightmare. I mean, what is your life like I have?
(19:33):
I feel like I do have the ridiculous I hate
the show Girls, But if there was, I would be that,
and you would be any other sitcom that was adorable
and cute, and I would just be gross. Well, you
know there's a sitcom a television show for all of this. Wow. Well,
(19:54):
clearly we have a lot of stories and we didn't
even get through all of them. So we we did
not and we to hear from you listeners. If you
feel comfortable sharing, if you've got a funny, bad dating story,
if you've got thoughts about dating at all right now,
which sounds like a real nightmare to me, but I
understand that it's not to everyone, Please send them our away.

Join me on this podcast as I navigate the murky waters of human behavior, current events, and personal anecdotes through in-depth interviews with incredible people—all served with a generous helping of sarcasm and satire. After years as a forensic and clinical psychologist, I offer a unique interview style and a low tolerance for bullshit, quickly steering conversations toward depth and darkness. I honor the seriousness while also appreciating wit. I’m your guide through the twisted labyrinth of the human psyche, armed with dark humor and biting wit.
