C (2:01)

And this is his routine for every day because he did so well on one date with that. Yes, I have 404-741-1005. If you have one of these dating superstitions.

B (2:09)

See you later, Serpica. You think I'm coming on my road. Now there's one. Now this next one is something that I think is routine, probably for guys. It's another guy that she had interviewed, and he was just talking about him doing 30 pushups before every date. So he says it's not to make him look bigger. It just makes him feel a little more proud.

A (2:25)

I started doing it in college or something to get that little extra blood to the muscle.

C (2:29)

Most guys have done that. Just for the record, most guys do that. They'll do a couple of pushes. Especially if you're going to a pool party. Oh, yeah, you're gonna work out for sure. About an hour beforehand. Just so you're all a little puffy before you get out there.

D (2:38)

Now something.

B (2:39)

Yeah. Now something that's probably routine and common for women to do is this one woman says that she lights a white candle. Has to be a white candle and burns it to take any negative energy away that may be in the room that's making her nervous. Then she takes a bubble bath. And she said it makes her feel relaxed, positive, and open to possibilities. So that's her way of relaxing.

D (2:59)

The bubble bath part is just so she can see when she's shaving. Because you can sit down in there and, you know, see what you're doing. Not quite as a quick job as the shower.

A (3:11)

This has come up a lot on the show today. Somebody here either just trimmed or needs a trim.

C (3:15)

Oh, she's a sauna girl.

B (3:16)

She's a sauna med spa girl.

C (3:17)

Doesn't need that.

D (3:18)

Smooth boy.

A (3:21)

Save that.

C (3:25)

Amber. Dating some superstition. What's up? Hi.

E (3:29)

I always listen to Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch. Their song Good Vibrations.

C (3:38)

Now, it gets you in a good mood. Or did you have, like, a successful date one time and you listen to that song and you just figure it's going to be the same for the next.

E (3:46)

Well, what happened is I started having kind of a run of good luck. And I noticed I was hearing that song during that time. And so from that point forward, I started listening to it every time I would go out on a date.

B (3:59)

That's great. Well, that's funny. Because two women in this article, similar things. One said that when she was like 15 years old, one of her first dates, I guess Great Expectations, there's a soundtrack to that that she listened to and would dance around. And even as an adult now, she does the same thing before a date. She listens to Great Expectations where another woman says that she sings the score of Evita before the date because it takes her through the range of emotions and then by the time she's done, she's a little tired but a lot more relaxed. So.

C (4:25)

404-741-1005 hey Vicki.

E (4:29)

Hey.

C (4:30)

Hi.

E (4:30)

I wear the same jeans and black top on a first date. Well, I used to, not anymore. But I had my own lucky outfit.

C (4:37)

Well, I wonder if that's more like your go to outfit or is that a real superstition? Because I think everybody has like one outfit that they really think they look kick ass in and you'll break that out on the first date every time. Cause you're looking to make a good impression. Or is this truly a superstition for you?

B (4:55)

Hello.

C (4:56)

That was tough.

A (4:57)

She really needs.

B (4:58)

She went to go put the outfit.

A (4:59)

On, she didn't have her outfit. So her conversation skills went right out the window. Why you interrogated me? Why do I have to answer all these questions for you?

C (5:06)

You don't run my life.

A (5:08)

Stop trying to control me. Will never work out. Goodbye. I should have wore the black top.

D (5:16)

Mark.

C (5:16)

Good morning.

F (5:17)

Hey, good morning.

A (5:18)

What's up man?

F (5:19)

Hey, you know what I do? I take care of myself before every day.

C (5:22)

Of course you do.

D (5:24)

Is that a guy thing, just like the push ups?

F (5:26)

Absolutely. You know, you just gotta cut some of the edge off of it and then it also maybe helps a little bit later.

C (5:32)

Yeah. The theory here is that if you do that then you'll be less. Your session will last longer if you get lucky.

F (5:38)

Exactly.

C (5:39)

Yeah. But no, not every guy does that.

F (5:42)

Come on, Bert. Yeah, you do.

B (5:43)

Ben Stiller did it in something about Mary.

C (5:46)

Yeah, he did.

D (5:46)

And he zipped himself up, didn't he?

C (5:48)

Yep. Exactly. There's a lesson to be learned there. Thank you, Mark. 404-741-1005 another one where a woman says.

B (5:55)

That she does like a. It's like a three or four part plan that she has to go through. First she has the glass of red wine. She said to give her a healthy flush in her cheeks and dilate her pupils. It's not just to relax her but to give her face a little more of a glow. And then she says of course she has to brush her teeth so that she doesn't have the purple mouth from the red wine. Then goes through the newspaper to find things to talk about in case the conversation goes to a lull. So she looks at what's going on in the news, and the last thing she does is she takes time to play with her dog. Because she says that it reminds her that if the night ends in disappointment or frustration, that she always has someone waiting to give her kisses when she comes home.

C (6:30)

That's like a Rain man cycle right there.

A (6:32)

There's a flowchart on the wall line, check. Teeth, check. Next newspaper.

D (6:36)

I'm off.

B (6:37)

Right.

C (6:38)

My only thing was, like, just. Just to take the edge off getting a little bit buzzed before the date. Cause I used to get so nervous right before a first date. But it wasn't a superstition thing. It was like an insecure thing. I can't remember, though, ever going out on a date without having a couple of pops before I went out.

D (6:53)

Really?

C (6:53)

Yeah. Call it insecure, call it what you want.

D (6:55)

But, yeah, they were like that Burt guy. He's nice and funny, he's got a great personality. But he stinks like liquor every time.

B (7:02)

He comes over here.

A (7:03)

I liked him, but he's a drinker. I don't need to be involved in that. Hey, the bird show.
