Overview

In this episode of Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update, the hosts delve into the intriguing—and ultimately tumultuous—second date experience of their listener, Laura. This detailed narrative explores Laura's strategic approach to finding a compatible partner, her successful first date, and the unforeseen complications that led to her date ghosting her. The episode offers insightful commentary on modern dating dynamics, the challenges of aligning lifestyles, and the unpredictable nature of romantic connections.

---

Listener’s Strategy for Finding a Partner

Laura introduces her innovative dating strategy inspired by advice from another podcast. Determined to find a well-put-together man, she decides to frequent the gym early on Saturday mornings—a time when the stereotypical "party guy" is unlikely to be present.

Laura (04:34): “So, you're going to the gym at 9am on a Saturday. The reason being most guys who aren’t put together wouldn’t be at the gym at that time because they were probably out partying the night before.”

The hosts discuss the practicality of this approach, with one host suggesting that Laura might need to go even earlier to avoid the typical weekend workout crowd.

---

The First Date: Gym Meets Nobu

Laura implements her plan and attends the gym, where she meets Franklin—a man who appears both attractive and responsible. Their initial interaction is playful, with Laura intentionally appearing somewhat inept at using the gym equipment to elicit Franklin’s assistance.

Host 1 (07:00): “So, Laura, how did you meet Franklin?”

Laura (07:02): “I got all decked out in my favorite Lululemon and I kind of alluded to the fact that I didn't know what I was doing. I was ashamed to say it, but I did. He came over and helped me with the machine, and we had a nice conversation. Eventually, he asked me out.”

Their successful gym encounter leads to a dinner date at Nobu, a high-end sushi restaurant. Laura describes the experience as wonderful, highlighting their connection and shared interests in traveling and adventurous activities like skydiving.

Laura (08:13): “It was amazing. We had a really good time. We really connected. We tried some new sushi together, which was always an interesting conversation piece.”

---

The Ghosting Dilemma

Despite what seemed like a perfect first date, Laura faces disappointment when Franklin disappears without a trace two weeks later. Confused and seeking answers, Laura reaches out to the hosts, who decide to bring Franklin on the show for a "Second Date Update."

Host 1 (12:15): “Franklin, you didn’t know about Nobu being so expensive?”

Franklin (17:25): “I went with the idea, but I had no idea what I was getting into.”

Franklin explains that he was unaware of the high costs associated with Nobu and felt overwhelmed by the extravagant plans discussed during their date. This misunderstanding leads him to question the feasibility of maintaining a relationship with Laura, whom he perceives as high maintenance.

Franklin (17:08): “I don’t know if I can keep up with her lifestyle because she seems high maintenance.”

The conversation quickly turns confrontational, with Laura expressing her frustration over Franklin's sudden disappearance and his lack of communication.

Laura (16:25): “What are you doing? Being a typical jerk and disappearing and not texting me back and letting me know what’s going on.”

---

Hosts’ Reflections and Conclusion

The hosts reflect on the situation, emphasizing the importance of clear communication and understanding each other's expectations in dating. They humorously dissect the miscommunications that led to the fallout, such as the confusion over who suggested the expensive date venue.

Host 1 (11:15): “Dating is just so hard and people have so many options and life is so busy. It’s just. It could not be you at all.”

In the end, Laura’s experience serves as a cautionary tale about the complexities of modern dating and the potential pitfalls of trying to control every aspect of finding a partner. The hosts encourage listeners to email the show with their own dating dilemmas, promising more entertaining and relatable stories in future episodes.

Host 1 (19:46): “We’re gonna try again tomorrow though with a new couple. Make sure you email the show if you want some help with your love life.”

[Podcast Host 1]

Welcome to the Second Day Podcast.

[DSW Representative]

We're so glad you're here.

[Legends Casino Representative]

Yes.

[Podcast Host 1]

Especially on a lovely Friday.

[Podcast Host 2]

I'm happier than the other two girls that you're here.

[Podcast Host 1]

Just so you know.

[Podcast Host 2]

They're, like, kind of happy. I'm, like, super.

[Podcast Host 1]

It's definitely a competition, Jose. So, you know, listen, I am so curious to see if people think this hack that one of our listeners had for meeting a guy. Guy who's put together would work.

[Podcast Host 3]

That makes sense.

[Podcast Host 1]

Yeah. It's logical, for sure.

[Podcast Host 3]

But does it work?

[Legends Casino Representative]

Yeah.

[Podcast Host 1]

Does it work? Okay, you got to test it out for us and let us know in the comments. What are you seeing that you're liking in the comments right now, Alexis?

[Podcast Host 3]

Yeah. Megan Weber said I'm moving houses and classrooms right now. These second dates have been my favorite while I pack and unpack.

[Podcast Host 2]

Moving class. Oh, moving houses.

[Podcast Host 1]

Yeah.

[Podcast Host 3]

Classroom.

[Podcast Host 1]

I'm guessing she's a teacher.

[Podcast Host 3]

Yeah.

[Podcast Host 2]

Okay. Don't confuse the two. Don't put your couch in the classroom.

[Legends Casino Representative]

All right.

[Podcast Host 3]

Or that'd be nice for the students.

[Podcast Host 1]

Actually. Actually pick up your feet. Seriously.

[Podcast Host 3]

Oh, that wine cart bar.

[DSW Representative]

Got to watch where that goes.

[Podcast Host 1]

That one could get you in trouble. All right, here's your second date. It starts now.

[Legends Casino Representative]

Second date. Update. Meeting a good single guy is like finding an open parking space at Costco on a Saturday.

[Podcast Host 2]

It's impossible, Jeff.

[Legends Casino Representative]

They exist.

[Podcast Host 1]

I don't know. I don't believe it.

[Podcast Host 3]

You got to be aggressive.

[Legends Casino Representative]

Yes. Got to be aggressive and get kind of lucky with it. Or you could be like Brooke and park in the rear blocking the fire lane next to the row of dumpsters and just call it a day.

[Podcast Host 1]

I didn't block the handicapped parking spot. So good.

[Legends Casino Representative]

She has more. How thoughtful. Point is, finding good men not easy. And that's why our listener Laura, says she had to find a strategy to help her find a decent dude.

[Podcast Host 1]

Okay.

[Legends Casino Representative]

And apparently she came up with one. So, Laura, welcome to the show.

[Laura]

Hi.

[Podcast Host 1]

Is it bad that I'm hoping that your strategy also helps me in the Costco parking lot?

[Laura]

Not at all.

[Legends Casino Representative]

Tell us about this guy that you met and the strategy that you use to find him.

[Laura]

So, first, let me start by saying, and I'm sure everyone can relate to this, that I have met so many people that were duds, both on the apps and in person.

[Legends Casino Representative]

Yeah.

[Podcast Host 2]

Problem is, we think we're catches and all of us are awful.

[Legends Casino Representative]

Yeah, it's true.

[Podcast Host 3]

Just a dudge.

[Legends Casino Representative]

Yeah.

[Podcast Host 1]

Okay.

[Laura]

Okay, so a while back I was listening to this podcast and this girl was giving some really fabulous dating advice.

[Podcast Host 1]

Oh my God, was it Alexis? On our Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning podcast?

[Podcast Host 3]

She said fabulous advice.

[Legends Casino Representative]

Why? What did she say?

[Laura]

Well, she said that women are in general having a hard time finding a guy that's well put together. Like you can meet a guy and he'll be great at first and then everything just goes south really, really quickly.

[Legends Casino Representative]

Which is different than women who are perfect right away.

[Laura]

Oh no, no, no, no. It's a two way street. I'll admit, it's a two way street.

[Podcast Host 1]

Okay, so what was the solution?

[Laura]

Okay, so you're going to love this girl to go to the gym at 9am on a Saturday. And the reason being because most guys who are just be polite and say not put together would never be at the gym at 9am on a Saturday because they were probably out partying the night before.

[Legends Casino Representative]

Yeah. Not just on a Saturday. Early, like ever. I'm not going to the gym. Yeah, I'm done.

[Podcast Host 2]

But that's actually a decent strategy.

[Legends Casino Representative]

Brooke, you don't agree?

[Podcast Host 1]

No, I mean, I get it. Yeah, sure, I get it.

[Podcast Host 3]

But I think you gotta go even earlier than that.

[Legends Casino Representative]

Yeah.

[Podcast Host 3]

So busy at 9.

[Podcast Host 2]

I do have a buddy who literally works out to get rid of his hangover.

[Podcast Host 1]

He sweats. Yeah. Okay, well, maybe he's a kid.

[Podcast Host 3]

I gotta run when I'm over.

[Legends Casino Representative]

I get the idea though. You want to go at a time when like all the party guys are supposedly. It's too early for them. Yeah.

[Podcast Host 2]

Really started their day.

[Podcast Host 3]

Or if they are people who party, they can manage it. You know, they still work out the next day.

[Legends Casino Representative]

That's perseverance right there. What's the talent? Like at the gym at 9am on a Saturday?

[Laura]

Shockingly, a lot of really cute, well put together men. Okay.

[Podcast Host 1]

Jackpot.

[Legends Casino Representative]

Okay.

[Podcast Host 1]

Yeah. So did you have your pick or what?

[Laura]

I had my pick. I got like all decked out. I put on my favorite Lululemon and I got like all up in there.

[Legends Casino Representative]

Ok, so who did you meet?

[Laura]

I met a guy named Franklin.

[Podcast Host 1]

Franklin.

[Legends Casino Representative]

Even his name is quality. Yeah.

[Laura]

And I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna lie, I legit set myself as bait.

[Podcast Host 1]

How?

[Legends Casino Representative]

Yeah. What did you do?

[Laura]

Well, like I said, I got all decked out and you know, I kind of like alluded to the fact that I didn't know what I was doing. And so, yeah, I'm ashamed to say it, but I did. And he came over and kind of helped me figure out how to use the machine that I was working on. Yeah, it worked out. We had a nice little conversation, and eventually he asked me out.

[Podcast Host 1]

Oh, it worked. Yeah, it worked.

[Laura]

Yeah.

[Legends Casino Representative]

I'm still picturing you guys at the machine. Like, did he come up behind you and, like, help you push the levers slowly?

[Laura]

All right, this is not pornhub. Take it easy over there.

[Legends Casino Representative]

Oh, well, I wasn't going that far. Picture more like ghost, like, with the pottery. But, yeah, go ahead.

[Laura]

Yeah, no, I just kind of was like, I can't lift these giant plates. Can you help me?

[Legends Casino Representative]

Gotcha.

[Podcast Host 1]

I need a big, strong mess to help me. Rescue me.

[Legends Casino Representative]

So was the gym your date, or did you guys, like, go out for real?

[Laura]

No, we went out. He took me to dinner at Nobu. I know, I know. And I had never been there, so I was really excited. He suggested it, and I was like, wow, you know, that's a little expensive.

[Podcast Host 1]

But did you say that, like.

[Laura]

Yeah, I was like, whoa, Nobu. Okay, first date. That's like setting your bar really high.

[Podcast Host 1]

Yeah, totally.

[Legends Casino Representative]

So how was it?

[Laura]

It was amazing. We had a really good time. We really connected. We tried some new sushi together, which is always an interesting conversation piece, at least.

[Podcast Host 2]

Oh, like fish you've never had before.

[Laura]

Yeah.

[Legends Casino Representative]

Did you play the damsel in distress again and be like, oh, I don't know how to use these chopsticks? I wish a big, strong man could come over here and show me.

[Laura]

I actually had a friend that was Japanese who told me that they don't use chopsticks, that they actually use their fingers. So when I eat sushi, I use my hands.

[Legends Casino Representative]

Oh, traditionally, that's a look.

[Podcast Host 1]

I don't know if that's true or not, but I think it'd be really funny if your friend was trolling you just to make you look like an idiot.

[Podcast Host 2]

Yeah, you're just double fisting sushi on the table.

[Legends Casino Representative]

All right, so you had some hand sushi. That's nice.

[Laura]

Yeah. And then, I mean, they call them hand rolls, right?

[Legends Casino Representative]

Yeah.

[Podcast Host 1]

Okay. Okay.

[Legends Casino Representative]

What about the connection with Franklin?

[Laura]

No, we really did connect, and we were talking, like, future, which was. Was kind of like. I was kind of put like. But yeah, like, we were talking about, like, traveling together and, like, going skydiving.

[Podcast Host 1]

Okay, listen. Yeah. You're on the phone with us. There has to be something bad that happened in the night.

[Legends Casino Representative]

This already sounds bad, though. Someone that's. This put together. That's a red flag.

[Podcast Host 3]

It's getting weird now.

[Legends Casino Representative]

It's like serial killer vibes. Nobody's this charming and put in.

[Laura]

I know, I know.

[Podcast Host 2]

I was moving forward to skydiving and go to Nobu in the same week.

[Legends Casino Representative]

Wow. All right, so how did you end it?

[Laura]

We ended the night with a hug. And I assumed that we'd go out again, of course, because we had such a great time. And I haven't heard from him in like two weeks. He just disappeared.

[Podcast Host 1]

Have you reached out to him or.

[Podcast Host 3]

Have you gone to the gym?

[Laura]

Okay, so I reached out to him just one time. I didn't want to see meaty. And no, I never went back to the gym on the Saturday morning. So I'm actually thinking it could be that because maybe he thinks that I just went to the gym like I set my own trap. You know what I mean?

[Podcast Host 1]

I don't think that guys put that much thought into where they would. They care.

[Podcast Host 3]

I don't know if they care.

[Legends Casino Representative]

I'm not going to put very much thought into leaving this break. So let's come back and call this guy and do your second date update right after this. What's happening next? Second date update. Who knew 9am on Saturday was prime time for available hotties at the gym?

[Podcast Host 1]

Everybody knows now it's going to be slammed.

[Legends Casino Representative]

Our listener Laura knew cause she heard about it on a podcast. So she went to check it out. And that's where she met hunky and responsible Franklin. He showed her how to lift a five pound dumbbell. She showed him how to eat sushi with your hands.

[Podcast Host 2]

At Nobu, it's the traditional way.

[Legends Casino Representative]

Jeff apparently seemed like a match made in heaven. But Franklin has now gone two weeks without setting up another date. So either that finger sushi hit real wrong or something else is going on.

[Podcast Host 1]

So gross. Do not call it finger sushi.

[Podcast Host 2]

Sushi hit good.

[Podcast Host 1]

I don't know, I just see the tip of a thumb or something sitting on a better.

[Legends Casino Representative]

What do you think is going on?

[Podcast Host 1]

I don't know. I mean, dating just so hard and people have so many options and life is so busy. It's just. It could not be you at all.

[Podcast Host 2]

Could be literally anything.

[Podcast Host 1]

Yes. I mean, everything you described sounded perfect.

[Podcast Host 3]

Okay, besides the hand sushi, did you explain why you were eating with your hands?

[Podcast Host 2]

You know, do it.

[Laura]

Yeah, of course.

[Legends Casino Representative]

All right. Alexis thinks that the issue is the hand sushi thing. Well, that is kind of gross.

[Podcast Host 2]

If someone just grabs.

[Podcast Host 1]

Alexis doesn't know how to eat sushi.

[Podcast Host 3]

That's a good point. I also can't use chops.

[Legends Casino Representative]

Yeah, you weren't feeding each other sushi with your hands, right? It was your own hands.

[Podcast Host 1]

I think that sounds fun.

[Podcast Host 2]

Now Brooks in.

[Legends Casino Representative]

That's how you get banned from Nobu forever. But let's call Franklin here.

[Podcast Host 2]

Nobu food.

[Legends Casino Representative]

Call Franklin and see if he has some answers for us. Hopefully he picks up. I'm dialing it right now.

[Laura]

Thank you.

[Legends Casino Representative]

All right, hold on.

[Franklin]

Hello?

[Legends Casino Representative]

Hey, is this Franklin?

[Franklin]

Yeah. Who's speaking?

[Podcast Host 1]

Oh, man. I knew he'd answer and be put together right now.

[Legends Casino Representative]

He does sound put together. My name is Jeff, and you're actually on a radio show right now called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.

[Podcast Host 1]

Hey, what's up, Frank?

[Podcast Host 2]

Good morning.

[Franklin]

Why am I on a radio show right now? What's going on?

[Legends Casino Representative]

Well, one of our listeners asked us to reach out to you because she had a great time getting sushi the other day. Her name is Laura.

[Franklin]

Oh, God, Laura. Jeez.

[Legends Casino Representative]

This isn't good at all.

[Podcast Host 1]

It sounded like such a fun game.

[Legends Casino Representative]

So you liked her? It sounds like Read the room.

[Podcast Host 1]

I like it. I like. Let's. Let's take that interpretation, guys.

[Legends Casino Representative]

Yeah.

[Podcast Host 1]

Laura. Is that how you meant it, Franklin?

[Franklin]

No, no, no.

[Legends Casino Representative]

I normally don't misread people.

[Podcast Host 1]

Okay, that is so crazy. Like, what, a disconnect between how she described you and your reaction?

[Podcast Host 2]

She loved the date.

[Franklin]

All right. Yes. Is that. Is that all you need to ask me about?

[Legends Casino Representative]

Well, no, we. There's more to this. We're doing a segment called the Second Date Update. Cause Laura really wants to hang out again with you, and she's a little bit confused about why that hasn't happened in the two weeks since you went to Nobu together.

[Podcast Host 1]

Yeah.

[Franklin]

Yeah, I don't. I don't know, man. I'm. I'm not sure if I'm really capable of dating her.

[Podcast Host 1]

Why?

[Legends Casino Representative]

Oh, man. Oh, okay.

[Podcast Host 1]

What does that mean?

[Legends Casino Representative]

What do you mean?

[Franklin]

Yeah, I don't know. I don't know if I can keep up with her lifestyle because she seems high maintenance.

[Podcast Host 1]

What?

[Franklin]

You know what I mean.

[Legends Casino Representative]

How so?

[Podcast Host 2]

Bro, no offense. I thought you were kind of the high maintenance one, taking her to nobody.

[Legends Casino Representative]

Yeah, I know. We were trying to get on your roster. Even so.

[Franklin]

Hold on. Slow on. Slow down, guys. We're. That was her idea, not mine.

[Podcast Host 1]

What?

[Legends Casino Representative]

Nobu was.

[Podcast Host 1]

She told us it was your idea, and she was like, no, let's not do that. It's too expensive.

[Franklin]

No, no, no. We were kind of tossing ideas back and forth about where to go, and I think she's the one that actually suggested nobu not me.

[Podcast Host 1]

But. But you agreed to it. I mean, you could name a. I.

[Franklin]

Didn'T want to seem too difficult, so I just kind of went with it. And I honestly didn't realize what I was getting it to.

[Legends Casino Representative]

Oh, no. Oh, God. You didn't know?

[Podcast Host 1]

You didn't know? Nobu is like, this high end, super expensive restaurant.

[Podcast Host 2]

Overpriced.

[Franklin]

No, no, no. I'm a chick Fil A kind of guy. Like.

[Podcast Host 2]

Well, those are.

[Legends Casino Representative]

I mean, they're what, one tier below Chick Fil A? It's pretty close.

[Podcast Host 1]

The only time I've been is with my agent. Like.

[Podcast Host 2]

And they paid, right?

[Legends Casino Representative]

Okay. So did you pay the bill? Like, how much? Can we ask how much it was?

[Laura]

Yeah.

[Franklin]

Yeah. Instead of a nice little chick fil a $40 day being like, 400.

[Podcast Host 2]

Oh, no.

[Podcast Host 3]

I feel bad for you.

[Podcast Host 2]

I was so hungry when you left, because sushi's not very.

[Podcast Host 1]

Dude, I bet she knew. Okay, but honestly, like, she thought that you were up for it. Like, she thought. She played it as your choice.

[Legends Casino Representative]

Yeah, she was impressed. Like, you were in it together.

[Franklin]

Yeah, not quite. It was definitely her suggestion. And that gives me that whole idea that she's expecting this pretty frequently. And then she started talking about expensive things like skydiving and hang gliding and had my head spinning. There's no way I can afford this girl.

[Podcast Host 3]

I feel like people talk about fun things that are expensive.

[Laura]

Anyway.

[Legends Casino Representative]

Yeah, I feel like this has been a little bit of a miscommunication, a misunderstanding, because we didn't get that impression from her. And you can actually ask her yourself, Franklin, because Laura has been waiting on the other line wanting to talk to you.

[Franklin]

Oh, gosh, you got set up. Thank you.

[Podcast Host 2]

It's international phone call. She's charging you.

[Podcast Host 1]

The good news is, usually really wealthy people don't call our show. You know, high standards.

[Legends Casino Representative]

Anyway, Laura, talk to Franklin.

[Laura]

Hey, Franklin.

[Franklin]

Laura, what are you. What are you doing putting me on this radio show? Like, what's going on? You put me on blast.

[Laura]

What are you doing? Being a typical jerk and disappearing and not texting me back and letting me know what's going on.

[Legends Casino Representative]

Okay. What the heck?

[Podcast Host 1]

Yikes.

[Podcast Host 2]

Where did that come from?

[Podcast Host 1]

She's mad.

[Laura]

Well, two weeks, dude. Two weeks. I thought we had a really good time. And by the way, guys, Nobu was not my suggestion. It was his.

[Podcast Host 1]

He says it was yours.

[Legends Casino Representative]

Yeah, he said you guys were throwing it.

[Podcast Host 1]

He didn't even know what it was. How could he suggest it?

[Laura]

Like, yeah, maybe. Maybe I brought it up, but he agreed to it.

[Podcast Host 1]

So it wasn't his suggestion.

[Legends Casino Representative]

Well, Franklin, you did mess up there, so you gotta admit that.

[Franklin]

Laura, I didn't want to be difficult or anything, all right? I just kind of went with the idea, and I thought, sure. And I'd never been to Nobu, so I hadn't. I had no idea what was going on.

[Podcast Host 2]

He didn't know he was signing up.

[Podcast Host 1]

I mean, don't you feel, like, some empathy towards him?

[Laura]

Like. No.

[Podcast Host 1]

Oh, no.

[Laura]

He probably. He probably Googled a coupon for Nobu before we went out, now that I'm hearing all this.

[Franklin]

Listen, I looked for a coupon, but it doesn't mean I. Oh, you did.

[Legends Casino Representative]

Of course you did.

[Podcast Host 1]

That's okay.

[Laura]

Yeah, well, there's nothing wrong with going to Nobu on a first date. Sorry, I don't agree.

[Legends Casino Representative]

No, but you hear what he's saying, right? Like, he thinks that you are, like, probably wanting too much money out of him.

[Laura]

And, like, I'm not looking to take his money. I make money, too. It's not about that. There's nothing wrong with living extravagantly.

[Podcast Host 1]

Totally. I think Jeffrey explained it wrong. He just thinks that maybe your lifestyle and his lifestyle don't meet up in the budget world.

[Laura]

Yeah, you know, I mean, I didn't. I didn't realize he was this cheap. I mean. What? Bring your own popcorn to the dollar theater?

[Legends Casino Representative]

Wait, what'd you say?

[Laura]

I said, I just realized he was this cheap. He probably brings his own popcorn to the dollar theater.

[Franklin]

Oh, wow.

[Podcast Host 3]

There's a dollar theater.

[Legends Casino Representative]

Okay.

[Podcast Host 3]

So nice.

[Legends Casino Representative]

All right, well, now we're getting.

[Franklin]

I didn't know you were this rude. Does Siri turn off every time you start talking?

[Podcast Host 1]

Oh.

[Legends Casino Representative]

That'S a rough slam.

[Podcast Host 3]

I don't even get it.

[Laura]

It's not about rude. We were just talking about the future, and I thought you were on board. It seems like you were agreeing with everything with me, so obviously you're not being your authentic self on dates. Oh, no.

[Podcast Host 1]

Wow. Okay.

[Laura]

You probably asked charities if they have a happy hour special or something.

[Podcast Host 1]

Did you write these down? Like, how do you come up with all these?

[Franklin]

God, no wonder you were single.

[Podcast Host 1]

What?

[Legends Casino Representative]

Franklin. He's gone.

[Podcast Host 1]

He's gone?

[Laura]

He ghosted you, too?

[Legends Casino Representative]

All right, Frank. All right, well, Franklin decided he didn't want to be a part of this anymore. Oh, is that what it was? Oh, poor guy.

[Discover Representative]

[Legends Casino Representative]

Oh, man.

[Podcast Host 1]

Just for the record, it's not bad to bring your own popcorn into a movie theater.

[Podcast Host 3]

I've definitely been there.

[Legends Casino Representative]

Okay, I think we all agree with that. But the fact that it's a dollar theater. I mean, how expensive could the popcorn be?

[Laura]

Honestly, it's not that it's expensive. It's usually just stale, but that's besides the point.

[Legends Casino Representative]

Okay. All right.

[Podcast Host 1]

Movie theater, popcorn. I guess no more gym at 9:00am, huh?

[Laura]

Yeah. No.

[Legends Casino Representative]

Okay, we'll stick to that. We didn't get a chance to ask for another date, but yeah, you scared him off pretty quickly.

[Podcast Host 3]

Sounds like you should find a more exclusive gym. Maybe a richer gym to go to.

[Laura]

Maybe I can go on a date with one of you.
