I know. what's up everybody welcome back to a couple things with Sean and Andrew today's topic is reacting to worst dates part two that's right we did this once we're going to do it again because we got so many submissions we asked you on Instagram to share your worst date stories and boy tragic is the word that comes to mind tragic tragic experiences here before you jump into it let's go through some life updates what is happening in our world right now you know It's a fantastic weekend this past weekend. Yes.

I feel like a lot to answer your question briefly, but we had my brother and his wife and four kids came down and visited us. We had the IndyCar race here in Nashville. We still have our best friends living with us with their two kids. Sean had a surprise birthday dinner for me last night. It's your birthday!

We fired up the grill. Yeah, it was fun. 33? That's right. It feels like a big year. It feels like the last big year. year for a while we're in the middle of school shopping is that which how you would call it um yeah yeah basically touring all the schools in nashville and franklin and brentwood and like surrounding

areas trying to find the best school for our kids for elementary i admire this about you you're very worked up about it very worked i maintain the belief that we are not going to make a wrong choice There are plenty of good schools. And honestly, the kids kind of just end up being who they are and doing what they're going to do. For sure. I don't feel that stressed about it. But I'm glad that you're stressing for us. Okay.

But you're crushing that. Yeah, we got schedules and meetings for that. We're having fun with our interview show. So we had two of those last week. Oh, my gosh. We did the Blue Angels last week. Sean had a call. She did a live Zoom with SpaceX while these astronauts were in space.

It was nuts. That was one of the coolest things I've ever done in my life. It's crazy. Also, the Blue Angels, I did not puke and I did not pass out, though it was so physically challenging. You said it was one of the harder physical challenges. Yeah. Why?

I think a couple of things. One, if you are like seasoned and used to that, I can see how you would gain a rhythm of like understanding what to do. But I'm also just now starting to work. out again and gain my muscle back, but the amount of effort it took to stay in a full body flex and breathe through all the Gs, through all of the maneuvers that we did, was really difficult because if you didn't do a full body flex and breathe through it, you would immediately pass out. Some highlights, Sean experienced 7.7 Gs. So 7.7 times the force of gravity. Negative 2

Gs. Which is crazy. I would like to experience that as well. That was the one that rocks your stomach and how many how many knots 680 crazy it was nuts really fun experience it was so cool though uh i grew up drawing pictures of the i saw the blue angels maybe when i was like eight and so i used to draw the side profile of the blue angels on our driveway and chalk just like for years i did that so that was really fun to kind of meet the pilots now that i'm a pilot i was like it's kind of like oh oh yeah you're a pilot you fly i'm a pilot too yeah so do i'm a pilot too yeah a little slightly different. My life's mission is to get you in a blue angel. I don't really feel the need to, but I appreciate that. I feel the need to. Okay, great. I will probably pass out. Just so we can relate

to it. Yeah, I'm not opposed, but I'd probably pass out. They say that the taller you are, the more you struggle, because the blood column is what they say. But my pilot was your height. I was taller. I was taller. I was taller. Yo, go, yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's see. This week, we also have our best friends moving out. Yep. And then we have a band. coming to stay with us. Yes, because it's the Hotel East. That's right. Shout out Brothers Fountain.

Sean and Drew are going to dancing with the stars. I can't wait. Wait, can I give a quick highlight of what the day is going to do? These are extensive updates, but I'm here for it. We're going to get on a plane. We're going to land waiting at the house that we're staying at. I'm beyond showering, spoiling Drew, this trip. So, yes, I know this is extreme.

She's going to have four dresses waiting on the bed With high heels and accessories You did not tell me that part She gets to choose one Okay So wear that to Dancing with the Stars We're going to have lunch We are going to get our nails done

We're going to get our hair and makeup done And we're going to go to the show And just be like so girly and over the top Which is like her thing and vibe I was showing her a couple clips of like Dancing with the Stars, not myself but just dancing with the stars And she's so excited

she's at a great age where she can sit through extended periods of time she sat through church the other day like big girl church which was fun and i think it'll be a delightful experience we're trying to do mommy daughter time daddy daughter time father son time father daughter time mommy son time did i say that yeah i don't know yeah i'm trying to um so i'm excited for that oh and then uh i have a crossfit competition this weekend wish me luck we've become in second the last couple years determined to win it you've come in second to last? No, second, the last couple of years. I just wanted to clarify. And then, well, we had an awesome charity event last week that we met some new friends at. We had a Love One event. Yeah. Okay.

There we go. There's updates. If you don't have anybody to share your updates with, well, we would love to hear them. Yeah. All that to say. So back to our episode of reacting to worst date. So we did a part one, but the way this came to be is we just asked, Instagram to share your bad experiences and you definitely delivered.

We had a lot of submissions, which is why we broke this up into two pieces. Also, if you don't follow Sean on Instagram, we'd highly recommend it. She's hilarious on there. And we also have a podcast. And Andrews. Yeah, our podcast, Instagram is at Sean and Andrew pods. Is it the longest handle ever? It is.

It's weird. But we had to because we have a couple things. We have second cop and we have redirected. Are you glad we're doing the interviews again? I love the interviews. I did too. I did too. But alas, here we go.

You ready to dive into these? I am. Do you want to go first or me? Yeah, here we go. The first story for our part two worst dates is, and I quote, I get to the restaurant ready to have a good time with my date. We sit down at the table and he only asked the server for one menu. I'm thinking, okay, fun.

We're going to share a meal. Nope. Turns out he packed his own dinner, brought it to the restaurant, and I was going to be the only one to order food. He said he was about to go to a bodybuilding competition, but I did not know this until after we sat down at the restaurant. It was bizarre. Interesting.

Let's pause. We've done this whole episode. I know. Yeah. I know. And we didn't record it. Yeah. Remember that?

Oh. Okay. So maybe we could keep this in. We did record this episode. And we're going to give you our second time reactions because we did not record it the first time. Do you want to make sure we're recorded? I did.

I double checked. I was like, interesting. Yeah. What are your thoughts on that, though? Because I kind of respect the guy's diligence. I think the communication could have been a little better of like, hey, I want to take you to dinner, but here's a caveat. What do you think? I think if he packed his own meal, brought it to dinner, doing the whole bodybuilding thing, totally fine.

Right. But you need to for sure, like, explain that before you're there. So it's not just like a, like, random weird thing on a first date. your restaurant etiquette is different than mine and I feel like if I first met you and I did this I think quirky restaurant behavior you would be totally out yeah why do I have weird no no I'm saying like if a server came and saw that I had a lunchbox on the table you would be super embarrassed you know if it was like a first date and I didn't understand why yeah yeah that's what I'm saying this is a first day that would be I also

something on a first date like yeah if you're going to do the whole lunchbox thing you should have taken her on a picnic gosh but we've seen we've been to a bodybuilding competition went to the Arnold classic and where's that Columbus Ohio and you go to these restaurants all these restaurants have like boiled chicken it's chicken and is it just rice yeah and everyone's even that yeah it's it's like grilled chicken and rice and it's like fancy restaurant couldn't you also just go to the restaurant and order plain chicken and rice yeah but they still was their seasoning on. I know.

I think it's a whole thing. I always consider that a beige flag. It sounds like he could amp his communication up a little bit, you know? That's not a red flag to me. Yeah. It would also make it really hard for the girl to, like, feel comfortable just kind of ordering anything. Yeah. Because it's not like you're sitting down for a glass of wine or like, yeah, you should definitely let her know ahead of time.

I agree. I agree. So just so, you know, our rating system is red flag, which means that's an absolute no-go, not going to do second date. Base flag is like, hey, it's not the end of the road. Or green flag. It's like a cute, quirky thing. Yeah. Yeah.

Like actually, it could be great. Okay. You get to second. Number two. Quote, on a date, I was wearing a really cute top that was held together with a chain across the back. The chain broke before our drinks even arrived. I wasn't even moving. Oh, no.

And my top completely fell off. Oh, no. My date and seven other people saw me completely topless and a nice restaurant. My date didn't even offer me his shirt, so I had to go home holding the fabric up to my chest the whole time. Oh, that could have ended so much differently. Okay, this could have been out of a romance novel. But it was not.

This is a giant red flag. The fact that nobody, him and his seven friends, didn't offer anything, or like the bartender or a random bystandard. Oh, man. Dang. Like something's off here. However, it could have been like a super green flag

where he like literally stripped down and gave her his t-shirt, about enough. If you're sitting there looking at a pair of honkeys, that'd be tough to, like, you know. Oh, my gosh. First of all, is a bra-less situation like this common? I mean, yeah. There are tops of, like, bra is built in.

However, I don't know. Wow, I'm going to go down a rabbit hole real quick. Okay. The, like, chivalry of this. One, it could have been embarrassing, but it could have been, like, a new girl moment where it's like, yeah, I saw it, but whatever. but also whoever she was on the date with

should have been like almost defensively protective of like that's my girl nobody else should see this take my shirt I don't think that's the case for a first date but I think it's more of a respect thing of hey I don't know you you're a stranger I want to take care of you yeah that's how I view it more than like

that's my girl protecting you know what I'm saying yeah also it's a bummer because you could tell that this one was super embarrassing for her because she knows that seven other people it wasn't like a bunch of other people

she like knew that seven people saw her like this so that's a bummer I'm sorry that happened um dang the whole time though he never offered his shirt

did you just fold up shop and go home like as soon as your chain breaks or I mean she pushed through or like the entire way home she just with him oh yeah yeah yeah yeah Yeah, yeah. Dang, that's crazy.

Okay, number three. What, red flag? Is that a red flag? Massive red flag. That he didn't help her. Yeah. Also. I think I agree for sure.

Have you ever seen the red flag, green flag got on Instagram? No. Oh, he's taken off. If you haven't found him, please go find him. He carries these, like, NFL-sized flags. And people will start telling a story. And out of nowhere, he'll just go running across a field. But then midway, he's like, oh.

and then he'll change it. Oh, that's pretty funny. It's really good. I think you did show me one of those. You should go find him. Number three, I agreed to movie and dinner on a match.com date. He was at least 20 years older than his photo and me. He was late to the movie and he didn't want either of us to get snacks,

even though I wanted to pay for my own. Wow. Red flag, I'm out. Then he made us share one popcorn and Twizzlers, which he wouldn't allow me to eat until the movie began. and place him on the floor on his far side to guard it from me, stop. When the movie began and I asked for a twizzler,

he handed me only one at a time and made me ask every time I wanted one. It was so weird. This is some weird, powered trip. That is crazy. Daddy vibe. No. I am all the way out. No.

The fact that he's like making rules is some creepy fetish guy. No. Out. You take that as a fetish? I just feel this guy seems like immature. has some weird issues. I see it as like a 20 plus year old man walks in. He's like, you're not allowed.

You have to ask me. Like it's a... No, no, no, no. Is it a red flag? Is the being older than the photo you have online? Absolutely. Okay. 20 years older than his photo? That means he's trying...

He's trying to catch younger, which is even weirder. I don't disagree. I don't know if that would be a I meet you and I'm and I see you're older than what I saw. I don't know if I'm automatically out but then...

Oh, I'm automatically out. But then if he's late, okay? Still, maybe I have a little bandwidth for him. But then if you say I want to get snacks. Oh, that's crazy. No.

He didn't let her pay for her own snacks. That's what I'm saying. He has this weird power control thing. Well, I can't believe if she's stuck around for that long. And not even that, but hear me out. You sign up for a date. You like find me, whatever.

Say you're 25. And I show up and I'm 45? That's a huge difference. That's a massive difference. Yeah. You'd be like, no, man, that's a little weird. But other than that, how was a movie, you know? You got four.

Do you think you'd be capable of leaving a date? I don't know if I could. I think does online dating make it easier like if that's how you met if I met through a friend and they were like

hey I think you'd really like this girl I hooked you up I think I would have a harder time walking away just because there's that shared there's that shared connection

but on online I think it might be easier just to be like hey you know the situation I know the situation we're just we're trying to find the right fit and here we are

you got four one time after a date, we were making out on the couch and I felt a drip on my face. Oh, geez. I just ignored it at first, but then I felt another one. I stopped and asked if something was on my face.

It was dark, so I couldn't really see his face. But he leaned back and goes, oh, no, don't move. He had a bloody nose, and it was dripping down my face while we made out. Wow, first of all, your delivery on that was fantastic. Second of all, that is tough. That is not a red flag, though. I guess it depends on what happens next. Yeah.

Yeah, what happens? dang that's unfortunate that's a bait not a beige i no it's a beige flag it's like whatever yeah like that's just unfortunate uh this is this is this is i guess not explicitly worse first dates but are you a make-out on the first date kind of girl no me neither have i yes am i okay interesting we did not kiss on our first date we did not not that you asked All right. Fifth, I grabbed a drink with a guy from a dating app. I got there first and sat down. He showed up a couple minutes late and said he walked there. I asked how far it was. He said 45 minutes. Turns out he had a car. He just liked to walk. I then noticed a big astronaut tattoo on his forearm and asked about it. He says, oh, this is a fake tattoo. I've been putting it on for the last couple of years because I don't want a real tattoo because it will get wrinkly when I'm older. He then asked if I had... wow he then asked if i have any real tattoos and i said yes the date continued awkwardly from there and we never went out again what is it with men dude what what is it with these guys

first of all this is mostly female submitting dates with men yeah and i'm like what the heck is wrong with the boys these days i'm just going to say i don't think it's a red flag that is a red flag for me. Maybe he's just quirky. Like that, that to me is not like a massive red flag. Sean, if he had the tattoo on for the last week, then that would be one thing. He's been putting this on for the last couple of years. I know, but hear me out.

What if he had like the driest sense of humor? And he's like, been putting this on for a couple years. That is not how I'm reading this. Maybe that's how she interpreted it. I want to meet this guy just so I can figure out if, like, are you actually? putting a fake tattoo on for years? Dang. It sounds like these guys' commitment issues,

you know, and if this girl's in it for marriage, that to me is like, this guy doesn't do commitment. Dang. That's interesting. I will give you credit to your point. Some of these,

there is like a gray area of like interpretation and like how do you respond to this? Because I'm quirky. I got my weird. things yeah so do you yeah and i think we've had enough my my grandpa was huge into like having a sense of humor and comedy like you just thought that was the best way to navigate life and some people are able to apply that in situations like this and receive it because it's a two-way

street some people are not yeah and so but at the end of the day it doesn't matter like if i if i'm trying to be funny and you're not having it then that's i think at a certain point i'm in the wrong yeah i need to stop trying to force that and understand like you need to You need to figure out what I understand and how I receive. Yeah, for sure. Anyway. Okay, you got it. All I'm saying is I deem that beige.

I am red flag. Okay. 45 minute walk. That's a beige flag. Four-arm tattooed for the last couple of years. I don't know what my time is that's appropriate, but years is definitely past the line. All I can picture is he's got a dry sense of humor. Also, did you, like, I want to know why an astronaut.

It seems like there's some stories there. You got six. My date took me to the crab shack and had never had shrimp before. He ordered fried shrimp for his entree and ate the entire shrimp, tail and all. I didn't have the heart to tell him that wasn't how you eat shrimp, but doubt he ever ordered it again. Wow. Definitely a beige flag. Wait.

Green flag, actually. I think it's kind of a reference. I made him a red flag on her part. That she didn't help him out? Yeah. Honestly, the guy's a green flag for just being a champ and housing the whole tail. Just down in it. Not even making that fuss about it.

You think she should have... Oh, I think it's endearing, but I also think she should have been like... I think there's tails all right. That could have been a cute moment. Yeah. Yeah. Crab Shack, yeah. I'm in on that.

I feel like so many people get so caught up on a first date of, like, trying to act so perfect that you lose any room of, like, giggles. It's okay to make mistakes and be awkward and funny and uncomfortable. Yeah. Dates are uncomfortable. They are so awkward. Okay, next one.

On the way to dinner, my date got us lost, hit a curb, and had no basic sense of direction for where he wanted to go. At dinner, he ends up showing me screenshots of nutrition textbooks that he reads for fun and proceeds to tell me what my macro should be as we were looking at the menu. what a way to make girl self-conscious. The whole conversation ends up being about him talking about workouts and grappling, question mark.

I'm all for being healthy, but an hour of talking about nothing but a workout regimen, and then asking about my gym habits seems over the top. When the food arrived, we ended up sitting in silence, and I ended up watching the basketball game on TV behind the bar. It was so awkward. I'm going to say beige. It sounds like he didn't know how to make conversation.

So you have like a little sympathy? I have a little sympathy of like maybe that's all he knew how to talk about. maybe she wasn't asking him any questions. The getting lost and hitting a curb could have been funny. Could have been. But you also don't want to get a date and feel unsafe in a car? A screenshots of nutrition textbooks? That seems like, no, I disagree.

Okay, yeah. I think that's just what he's into. I guess it depends on how he gets into that situation and how he navigates it. Like, if it was a, hey, what do you learn in these days? And that's how the conversation started and this is what he came up with. totally fine if it's like dominating the conversation different story um i think it's beige i don't really have the self-awareness to like think that looking at nutrition while we're looking at the menu is bad you're also the kind of person though this is what it sounds like where like you're

so curious that you ask a lot of questions but you get very turned off by people who don't reciprocate that so i'll i'll give you a little some of what i'm learning if you give me the same yeah So it kind of sounds like maybe she didn't reciprocate, like, her interest and her conversation. I don't know. Yeah. I'm going to say beige flag through and through. Yeah. Yeah.

Oh, gosh. Okay. Ready? Yeah. I was set up on a blind date, and as we were walking to the table for dinner, he started tickling me. Oh, geez. I thought it was so weird because I literally did not know this person at all, so I laughed off. then I kid you not every 10 minutes of dinner he would reach over my arm or over to my arm

shoulder or head and go tickle tickle as he tickled me like a little boy it was so weird and unbelievable that I busted out laughing which he thought was because I was ticklish but to be clear I was just so uncomfy I still laugh about this because what on earth never saw him again. Interesting. This does come across as super childish. But also, like, I don't know if that guy knows how to... I show...

My son, Jet and I show excitement the same way, which is, like, physical. Like, if I'm excited about something, I'm going to punch you on the shoulder. I'm going to dab you up. But, like... But, like, think about a date every 10 minutes, maybe in, like... Oh, I'm not... I am not condoning this behavior. I'm saying, I...

I also think you're, like, crossing. boundaries. I agree. Yeah, there's definitely like a personal. I need to get to know you a little bit before I'm going to tickle you. Actually, there's very few, there's very few people that I would be comfortable tickling. How many people? I mean, I tickle you and our kids. That feels like the line. That feels like the line. But like not a first date. You're not going to tickle me on a first date. I'd be like, excuse me, no. Oh. You're saying, red flag red flag yeah that feels very weird yeah she she could have said stop no he should have known i mean but at some point also it's weird if you're walking to a table on a first date

and the guy behind you tickles you that would have been jarring i would say the least no i just i think i said this the first time we did this i view first date as like a a I am here to show you that I respect you. Second date, I'm going to throw some darts at the wall that's going to like, I'm going to, I'm going to make some like jokes and like pushing proud a little bit, try to get your ad you side. First date, though, I need you to know that I respect you. Yeah. That's the goal. So I'm going to open doors for sure.

I'm going to like pay for dinner. Definitely. It's like I am here to respect and admire and like be, be here for you. Hold a hand on a first date? situational i think it's situational not out the gate i remember if we held our held hands on our first date i don't think we did for our first date like when you came to national i had an itinerary and schedule planned out and i don't know also i do it is accommodating first date felt like four dates because we spent all day like literally 10 a.m. to midnight

together but i kept giving you out i remember like hey do you want to like go do something on your own And I was like, nah. Because I don't want to impose. But yeah. But tickling does feel like slightly disrespectful for... At first date. Yeah. All right.

Nine. I'd been talking to a guy through an app for several weeks. He invited me to dinner. And when I got there, I discovered he was missing multiple teeth. He never acknowledged this. I went back and looked at the pictures. He had posted all of his smiles. And they were all with closed mouths.

All of his mouths were closed mouth smiles. sorry we're reading these as they were submitted so it's like different people have different storytelling styles uh red flag green flag beige flag oh i think it's beige are you calling this beige but the older age thing red how's it different what if he's a hockey player and he just got his teeth knocked out maybe he just didn't pay to get fake ones put it back in So this is different because he didn't post Like edited pictures or past pictures When he had teeth

This was just closed mouth smiles I think it's one of those things Like how do you put that in a profile Unless you're literally just showing yourself smiling I think there's sense of humor there too It's like I think there is The average human has 46 teeth or whatever I only have 30

How many teeth does a human have? I think it's like different too This sounds awful and I don't want it to be like judgmental but like is he clearly like addicted to drugs and his teeth are falling out or are he missing teeth

because of like a profession or a whatever is he a boxer so it's situational situational uh let's see most adults have 32 permanent teeth including eight incisors four canines eight premolars and 12 molars

yeah so in size or now you I have no idea I'm going to say beige flag I think it's beige We need more info That guy's probably waiting for a girl to be like It's okay

You know Because part of me tells me If he's only posting Closed Mouth smiles on his profile Then maybe he's insecure about it I don't know I don't know Yeah we're all going to lose our teeth

Some way probably You get old enough You can fix that It's pricey It is pricey new teeth at a price you do all right you got ten i dated this guy who told me he had to head back to his place because he was taking care of his friend's dog the dog came running out and peed all over my legs i had on a short skirt and sandals it wasn't a little pee it was like the poor puppy

was holding her pee all day i had a river of urine all over my feet and legs but here is where it turned i said laughingly can i just go wash off my legs and feet in your tub or outside with the hose. He said, no, I will take you home now. I don't let people use my stuff that I don't know too well. It was a one hour drive back to my house and I sat there with a gallon of dog pee all over me for the drive home. The smell was awful. When he got to my house, he leaned in to kiss me and I pushed him back and I said, I don't like to share my mouth with people I don't know. Oh, clapback. Wow, the audacity of this guy to go for the kiss. Wait, what? That is crazy. That doesn't make sense. First of all, very clever comeback um big i think it's a red flag that uh the puppy hadn't been let out like

the puppy should have been let out you know yeah clearly didn't take care of the dog that well um red flag that he didn't let her wash off i think that could have been a cute moment like you know you can get protein at home or a protein latte at tims no powders no blenders no shakers starting at 15 grams per medium latte. Tim's new protein lattes, Protein without all the work, at participating restaurants in Canada. Hey, so what did you want to talk about?

Well, I want to tell you about Wagovi. Wagovi? Yeah. Wagovi. What about it? On second thought, I might not be the right person to tell you. Oh, you're not? No.

Just ask your doctor. About Wagovi. Yeah. Ask for it by name. Okay. So, why did you bring me to the circus? Oh, I'm really into lion tamers. You know, with the chair and everything. Ask your doctor for Wagofi by name.

Visit Wagovi.ca for savings. Exclusions may apply. Like, I don't know. Yeah, also maybe he didn't want her to come inside his apartment. They were already there. I think they were already there. Right? Yeah.

They're at somebody's apartment. The friend's dog, I'm assuming, was at his house. I don't know. Red flag's everywhere. Yeah, I'm going to say red flag. Green flag with her response. Multiple. 11.

I went on a date with a guy that was a mutual friend. He got hammered early on at dinner and became progressively more obnoxious. He started referring to me as bugs. That's what I call Sean. So we're going to beige flagged that one for now. But he meant bugs funny. Because her teeth are slightly larger than they should be. Interesting.

That is demeaning. That's not why I call you bugs. By the time we finished our meal, I'd had enough. The waitress dropped the bill off. And as he got up to use the restroom, he tossed me his credit card and said, pay the bill. so I did and added a $150 tip to our $100 dinner. I think that's a red flag.

I handed him the card when he got back and we left without a receipt. Okay. Red flag that he got drunk. I think like the snide nickname on the first date. No, no snide nicknames on a first date. No nicknames on a first date. It depends on how it's perceived being received.

like if she laughed really hard no it's out of line that's out of line that's out of line that's out of line but I also think it's out of line for her to give a $150 tip yeah that was not okay that's just you don't repay a wrong with the wrong

no and that's not your money to spend yeah dang getting hammered though on a first date massive red flag what are we doing don't do it I don't care how much you're having, do not get trashed

on a first date. If you're going to live that sad life, just do it by yourself and don't waste somebody else's night. No. By going on a date with them, you know. It's so disrespectful, it's such a turnoff. No. No, no, no, no.

12. The girl I was supposed to go out with had food poisoning two days earlier. I said we could postpone, but she said she was fine. So I showed up at her apartment, flowers in hand, and after greeting her, I ran to the car open the door when all of a sudden I heard noises from behind me I turned around and saw her standing in a

puddle of liquid poop no she ran back into the house I never saw her again I also ended up what I also then ended up taking her roommate out that night to a concert and we've been together for three years now dang that's tough wait what you are a grown adult and pooping your pants yeah you never had close calls

babe she walks out of her house with her date there and poops she had to have felt it coming look stomachs can be very volatile no no no no I mean that stinks in many different ways you know literally and

if we had any reservation about like is my stomach good or not the date's off no remember we went to what's that guy's name you didn't think you were going to poop your pants on the sidewalk what was the I bet um the ventriloquist yeah jeff oh shoot denim

jeff done him i took sean too and you were really excited about it so I was like I'm gonna bite the bullet and go my stomach was feeling upset did you feel like you were going to poop your pants on the sidewalk no but I kept saying I needed to go get snacks or Or phone calls or like, oh, no, I was like, but I just didn't, yeah, that was tough. I'm sorry.

Dang. Also, I do have a question. I don't think it's unbelievable that an adult would poop their pants. I think it's maybe more common than we let on. I think there's a lot of adults out there pooping pants. Yeah, but to see her standing in a pile of liquid poop, that means, like, she didn't start pooping and run. She, like, pooped.

Yeah, that is surprising. That's a unique reaction for sure. also I do I am curious how he never saw her again if he's been dating her roommate for three years. Yeah. But way to make the best of a situation, you know. Pivots, sees the roommates

keeps going. I hope that lady's stomach has recovered. All right, 13, about halfway through a movie, I hear my date whisper. Hey, I look over to him and he digs into his sweatpants pockets and pulls out a full-sized banana. He whispers, do you want a banana? I responded

very confused and quietly because we were in a theater and I said, no. He puts a banana back in his pocket and we continue to watch the movie. I'm sitting there thinking about what was going through his head when he packed the large banana

in his pocket before going on this date. Another 10 minutes go by and I hear another whisper. Hey, do you mind if I eat my banana now? And I said, sure? This man cracks up in the banana at the quietest, most suspenseful part of the movie and then continues to eat a banana

throughout the rest of the movie. No way. I mean, I eat a banana in two seconds. He's not a last in the whole movie. All right, fast forward. almost five years and we went ring shopping just a few weeks ago and still joke about this terrible first date. I love that. Also, let's rewind without the ring part. Like, they're still together and they're getting married. That's not a red flag. A banana? That he offers you? He just

brought a banana. I think it's, uh, I mean, smuggling food in, I think it's an aggressive play for a first date. I smuggle food into every single movie. For a first date though, I don't want to give bought you're in on that for sure okay i would be it would be i would be like yes if you pulled out a bag and you had like a soda and i'd be like yes but a solo rogue banana oh it is weird it's weird choice of fruit uh it was very kind of him to offer it to her i will say that i do feel like i can picture are many friends of ours who would be like do you want banana no can I have it sure it is pretty

hilarious how he waits 10 minutes and then says could I have the like I think that could come off really funny anyway all right you got 14 my date brought me flowers he said he stole from a graveyard down the road I'm gonna say red flag could it be comedic

no I'm gonna say red flag Yeah, that's a little weird. Joking about stealing something. Joking about, like, that's kind of dark humor. So that's a double negative for me. Yeah. Yeah. Okay, you got it.

But Flowers is a nice thought. He was kind of on the right track. All right, 15. I met this guy in Hinge. His profile said he was like 6 foot 8 and was a larger gentleman. When he arrived, I figured it was him because he was tall, but he was about 100 to 150 pounds heavier than his pictures. He told me he used pictures on Hinge from his late 20s.

He was now 42. Nope, not okay. Because women nowadays are superficial and should, wouldn't base everything off of looks. I agreed, but said that this is being deceitful. When it was time to pay, he goes, technically you invited me on the date, so technically you should pay. Mind you, my meal was with an alcoholic beverage with around $15. I said that I would pay for my own meal, but I wouldn't pay for his. He kept giving me reasons why I should be paying for the tab, and we didn't go out again. That's red flag, red flag, red flag, red flag.

Yeah. I respect to her for like, I think, laying down the law of truth and saying, hey, that's a little deceitful. Yeah. I think if he's going to be aggressive, meeting that with like, no, you're, you're being deceitful is great. I read this and get a lot of insecurity. You do? Yeah. Oh, from him. From him. It just screams insecurity. Because, like, he uses pictures from his 20s, but he's now 42. He uses pictures where he was 100 to 150 pounds lighter than he is now. he says it's because he thinks women are superficial and shouldn't base everything off of looks and then I think he gets defensive

and he's like, fine, you asked me to go on this date? Like, I think it's just like massive insecurity and part of me may feel sad. But I also think it's massive red flag. He seems manipulative. Like, because he's right when he says, you shouldn't be superficial, but the way he like weaponizes that

feels manipulative. Also, So you're 42. You're grown man. You're grown man. You're grown man and you should be better in this is what I think. I'm sure maybe there's some difficult things that happen in that life. But I view a man is like, I think part of how I view it is you got to stare truth right in the face.

And it's like, hey, I'm overweight. I'm going to take care of this. And then, hey, I'm overweight and I'm not going to try to hide it or be deceitful. And then, hey, I'm taking you on a date. And it's like, what's the right thing to do here? And it's not out of convenience that I'm going on a date to get a free meal paid for. It's out of me trying to actually do this and dating thing well and find someone seriously. It's like, this person's playing games is how I take it.

Yeah. And that's not what a man does. I think a man can be playful, but this guy's playing games. That's how I feel. Red flag. You want me to keep going? No. I'll keep going.

No. you got the next one okay years ago i met a guy in line at starbucks one sunday morning he ended up buying me coffee we talked for almost three hours and he asked my number we texted during the day and he called me at night to talk he asked me on our very first date for valentine's day we enjoyed our dinner and as we are walking back to his vehicle a girl in sweatpants baggy t-shirt and hair and a messy bun comes walking up yelling at him out of town effing out of town you liar I'm standing there shocked. She told me she's his girlfriend, which obviously I had no idea.

She said her friend was inside the restaurant having dinner, saw us, called her, and she waited outside to see if it was true. He called me later to explain, saying when he met me, he felt more of a connection and didn't know how to end it with his girlfriend, so he just lied to make it easier to avoid Valentine's Day. I gave him a good talk, blocked his number, and never heard from again. Oh, that's the worst. Let's go back to doing what you need to do, not what you want.

want to do. It's like, first of all, that's way, that is just out of line. It's out of line. It's a red flag. It's not okay. But my thoughts are like, you're dating. If you clearly not, if you're clearly not having a connection with your girlfriend and you meet another girl and you have a connection with her, whatever. But no, no, no, because you shouldn't be humoring a girl in the Starbucks line when you have a girlfriend. Also, what kind of principle are you setting that like, oh, you're dating somebody and then you meet some girl to coffee shop randomly and it's like maybe you go to a coffee shop all the time you're going to meet some other girl there it's like I don't want to be just the next in line or let me like paint a different picture ready he's in line at starbucks barista

brista writes her number on a coffee cup that he gets okay you got to go break up with your girlfriend if you're going to call that chick I agree I agree you're not going to sit down and talk to her for three hours before you break up with your girlfriend yeah and It seems like this is a pretty serious relationship. Yeah, not a good. That's bad. Don't do that. Don't do that.

Also, anytime let me explain, that's just... No. I think there are black and white situations. Yeah. There are good and bad things, and the explained part always tries to inject some aspect of gray into that. And that's like... It's just not going to end well if you fall down that,

road and you just like let him explain and then also what was his plan just to keep the girlfriend but it's not good no got a nip in the bud all right 17 my date asked to see my apartment but proceeded to go through our cabinets and eat all my Oreos before passing out in my bed after I had asked him to leave several times I ended up sleeping locked in my bathroom on the floor and the next day had to wake him up at 3 p.m. wow and force him to leave so I could go to work needless to say I blocked his number and have lived scared for the next two years that he would come not knocking on my door to ask for a second date. There's a lot going on there.

A lot of red flags. I think I would have called the police. I'm eating Oreos, it's like, whatever. Okay, whatever. In my bed. Passing out in the bed after she had asked him to leave, not okay. As soon as I'm asked to leave one time, you got to leave. Immediately.

Got to. Also, her sleeping locked in the bathroom. I think I would have just called the police. Also, what's unfortunate? Who's sleeping in until 3 p.m.? Also, hear me out. Ladies, I'm going to give you a responsibility right now, okay? If you live in an apartment complex, dorms, condos, house, okay, no matter the situation,

this is what you're going to do. You are going to go buy donuts or bags of coffee, okay? for your closest neighboring five people you're going to write on a beautiful card and say this is my name I have moved in if you need eggs feel free to come knock on my door

vice versa you're going to make friends with your neighbors whether you actually hang out with them or not it doesn't matter you're going to make friends with them you're going to get their cell phone numbers so that in the event this happens you go over to Frank's house or Frank's apartment next door and you say Mr. Frank this guy passed out

and he won't leave. And you have a full community of people who are like protecting you. I love that, babe. I love that challenge. You are not alone, ever. Don't make yourself alone as a woman. There's benefits to being a good neighbor

and that's that you get good neighbors in return. And I think physical proximity with other people can make a massive difference and keep you safe. Also give you eggs when you need them. Anyway, I like that challenge. All right. But how did you feel about her being scared for two years?

Like, what's the, is there any solution for that? No. I mean. She was scared for the next two years that he would come knocking on her door for a second date. I guess, yeah. Just say no. It sounds like she has a hard time saying no. Like, get out of my house.

Yeah. That would be a tough. Taze him. I have a lot of, that would be really uncomfortable. It would. are you like grabbing me and pulling me out of the house like that that stinks for her that's why you need to ask your neighbor 18 I went on a date with a dentist while we're eating he shows me pictures of teeth he pulled that day without warning then mid date he says okay now open up I just

laughed at first but he persisted saying come on open up let me see he reaches over and pulls down my chin oh my gosh to show my teeth to give me a dental exam mid brewery and he says I knew you had veneers, which I absolutely do not. He then motions over to my plate of discarded chicken wing bones and says, are you going to eat that? I said, no, assuming he was going to throw it away for me, wrong. He reaches over and grabs the eaten wings and takes a bite and says, you can't leave all the meat on there. At this point, I went to the bathroom and paced around trying to figure out some way to get out of this. But I painfully sat through the rest of trivia. We got second, and he was so mad. Don't date Dennis. I don't think that's a fair way to conclude that.

no we know a lot of great dennis um this is very similar to last one where it's like you are way out of line you're crossing boundaries she said no you got to respect that and also don't touch people stop touching your dates like don't grab your date's chin and force her to open her mouth i also think anytime the word persisted it's used on a first date you're probably wrong you should not be persisting anything i don't think no this is a light exploration of do I want to do a second date? No persisting. That's how I feel. I'm just mad at all these people who are like, I'm going to tickle you. Also eating the eating after I have um yeah I have different standards than most people when it comes to food etiquette I'm not

eating someone's pre-earded wings yeah that's tough anyway 19 uh my best friend sent me up on a date. He asked if there was anything I didn't eat and I said fish. The date night comes and he takes me to sushi in a carnival. After 20 minutes at the carnival he reappears drunk and he agrees to go on a ride with me. The zipper. Not the zipper. If you

don't know what it is, look it up. About two minutes into the ride, he throws up everywhere. I screamed for them to stop the ride until they finally did. I got off that ride and called my mom to pick me up. I talked for 30 minutes in the porta potty trying to wipe the throw up off of me. My mom came with clothes and made me sit in the back of the car with the windows all the way down.

Worst part, he called me the next day asking for my share of the carnival tickets because I left. Oh, red flag, red flag, red flag, red flag. One, not thoughtful or listening or caring with the fish thing, you know. Carnival's fun. I think it's a fun first date. Drunk, red flag. Can't do it. throwing up

that's just a consequence of your actions buddy you know dang sounds like a young person wait I'm also really confused after 20 minutes at the carnival he reappears drunk

what did he just sneak away to go shoot some shots yeah were you solo navigating this carnival that's also a red flag yeah and then it does say throw up everywhere not I threw up everywhere so was that him or her

next to his plate. He didn't cover it up or anything. The chewed gum just stared at me. He was talking nonstop and then asked me if I wanted to hear his impression of Stitch, like Lilo and Stitch. Not sure what to say, I said sure, and he started doing full-on, loud impressions at the table. When it was time to leave, he paid, and I noticed that he had not left the tip, so I heard him grab some cash to leave at the table. I tried to get to my car, and he tried to kiss me. I was able to turn my head, so he got my cheek, and then he proceeded to tell me I was the best kisser he's had. slightly traumatizing, but I did eventually find my husband on Bumble and he doesn't do

stitch impressions and tips well when we go out. Wow. Okay, the chewed gum, whatever, that's a beige flag. It's weird. It's not to like wrap it up. Yeah, you should do something with the gum. Yeah. I'd say it's borderline beige. Yeah. You should take care of the gum. You should take care of it. Uh, the stitch impression. Could be funny. Could be cute. Yeah. But the loud impressions the table, it depends on how loud. I think this is like a... If he has the confidence, though, it could be funny. Funny, could be funny. Um, no tipping. I will say, I will say this, though. No, at a restaurant, everybody knows you tip the waiter unless there's like the included gratuity, whatever. Yeah. Are you supposed to tip on top of that? Here's what I'm saying. There's no,

there's no, like, guidelines for tipping. You know, like, when, you know, like, When you go to a hotel or whatever, and it's like, am I supposed to tip, there's, it's just like the Wild West. Am I supposed to just be handing everybody cash? Like, there's all these memes on the internet of like, it'll be 15% or like, choose your tip, you know? And it's, I don't know what the right situation is or how much to tip certain people. Because, like, it is confusing. But in this situation, this guy's wrong. But then the kiss, the kiss, pretty aggressive.

and then him saying that the cheek kiss is the best kisser he's ever had, I think it's him making a lie to the situation. I would say this. Try not to kiss someone on the first date. I think it could be in play, but there's got to be a lot of... A lot of signs. Yeah.

Best not to. Best not to. Best not to. We did not kiss on our first date. And I'm glad we didn't. We kissed on our second date. We did. We did.
