Introduction & Kevin’s Quirky Hobbies

• Previous call: Kevin, known as “Fridge Scaper” for turning fridge interiors into art.
• New hobby: “Microwave mosaics”—artfully arranging and photographing the splatter patterns of leftovers.
  • “I rearrange the leftover stains into abstract pieces. The splatter patterns, like, they tell a story now.” – Kevin [36:03]

The Date that Wasn't

• Meets Audrey at Michael’s (craft store). Good vibes, plans a bar date.

  • Later, Audrey texts: “What you did was rude, and you have no idea what I'm going through.” [39:13]

The Call

• Audrey finally agrees to speak (reluctantly).
• Reveals–or pretends to–that “one of my parents had passed away that day” [45:16]. But quickly walks it back as hypothetical: “...they didn’t really die. But like, they could have.”
  • The hosts are floored by this misdirection and rollercoaster of emotions.
• Eventually, real answer: she simply forgot the date until Kevin texted “where are you” [47:46–48:13].

• No real apology given.
• Both are stubbornly holding on to their grievances, making jokes, and refusing to budge.
