Host 1 (3:24)

So what's on the list?

Host 2 (3:25)

I feel like I'm about to read her game of MASH

Host 1 (3:30)

did.

Host 3 (3:30)

Is it an actual physical document?

Alex (3:33)

Well, it's an actual physical document. It was. We wrote it down on a cocktail napkin and later I put it onto a regular piece of paper just so I could capture all the. I'm a writer, so it's like I just need to get all the little details and what she meant by everything because we were drinking at the time, so.

Host 3 (3:52)

So what's on that list? How many items are on the list?

Alex (3:55)

Total 10 items.

Host 1 (3:58)

Okay, what's on that list? What do you think, Simon?

Alex (4:01)

Well, here we go. Number one thing was family functions that, you know, like family holidays and events and plans could take precedent and in this man's life.

Host 3 (4:13)

Well, you already got that one covered because you hang out with her Fourth of July.

Alex (4:16)

So done. Kate. Man, that was the reason why that was on the top and why she was ditching the guy that he was with.

Host 3 (4:23)

Check number two.

Alex (4:25)

Number two is a committed relationship. So none of this just part time dating or anything like that. You know, he's clearly single and you know, clearly ready to clear the decks as far as having any other relationship ties to ex girlfriends or anything like that.

Host 2 (4:42)

Okay,

Alex (4:45)

I haven't. What's that? Oh, number three, completed college and had a career plan and have a career plan.

Host 1 (4:52)

Okay.

Alex (4:52)

And I've done that and I've gotten myself a regular full time job.

Host 1 (5:01)

Did you get the full don't ask questions? Well, I want to know. We got 10 of these to roll through. Well, we're already third way through them.

Alex (5:06)

I'm sorry, should I move through these faster? Am I taking too long?

Host 1 (5:09)

We'll save the questions for after. All right.

Alex (5:11)

Okay, so complete college career plan. Number four, good credit. Number five, love to travel. Number six, appreciate other cultures.

Host 1 (5:22)

Okay? That goes along with traveling.

Alex (5:25)

Number seven, to be religious or I think that means to be spiritual and serious about your spirituality. Number eight is charitable. Number nine is funny. And number ten is to be in good physical well being, to take good physical care of yourself.

Host 1 (5:46)

Okay, so you changed everything in your life and you think you're strong in all 10 of those areas now?

Alex (5:51)

I think I'm very strong in those 10 areas now. I think I was in some areas okay before, but I've taken the effort over the past year to be very solid in all 10 areas.

Host 3 (6:05)

Now what Specific life change have you made? Just to.

Host 2 (6:09)

What's like, the most dramatic?

Host 3 (6:11)

Yeah, just to adjust to One of

Alex (6:12)

these 10 most dramatic probably would have to be the most. Boy, the most dramatic would probably have to be. Well, appreciate other cultures. I thought I was. You know, I had already. You know, I don't really have any prejudices or, you know, strong favoritism towards any particular one culture or anything, but through my church, I'm going to go down to Guatemala.

Host 2 (6:45)

Oh, nice.

Alex (6:45)

There you go.

Host 1 (6:46)

And specifically, you would do this because you want this to be one of the 10 things.

Host 2 (6:50)

No, he got two there. If he's doing it through religion and traveling, too.

Alex (6:55)

And travel, bam.

Host 2 (6:56)

Are you gonna be running down there? That's.

Host 1 (7:00)

I mean, you're athletic.

Alex (7:01)

Fitness.

Host 1 (7:01)

How are you gonna. How are you gonna subtly tell her that you meet all 10 criteria? Because if you present this as a document and you. I mean, it's too obvious and she's gonna be totally turned off by it. So you're going to have to, I guess, subtly just tell her the things that are going on in your life, and she's going to have to be able to put it together herself.

Host 2 (7:18)

Right.

Host 3 (7:18)

And last, she was. Was she aware that you were making a list?

Alex (7:23)

Well, she was aware that we were making the list because that was the joke while we were. While we were talking. And I didn't think anything about it last year, but on the day that we left. We usually leave cape May on July 5. When we parted company on the 5th, saying goodbye and see you next year and stuff, she brought up, said, good luck with the list. So I don't know if it's still in her mind or not.

Host 2 (7:51)

That changes everything. It does change everything, because that means she wanted him to. Maybe.

Host 1 (7:56)

Maybe she was subtly trying to say

Host 2 (7:58)

to him, next time we'll see each other in Cape May, okay? There's interest there.

Host 1 (8:03)

Well, Alex, what the morning zoo here will do is we will check back with you when we get back from vacation.

Host 3 (8:10)

One joint sound effect does not make us a zoo.

Host 1 (8:12)

We're a zoo in training. We're zit.

Host 2 (8:16)

Oh,

Host 1 (8:20)

Alex, we gotta talk to you when we get back from vacation and find out if your plan worked and you truly have become the dude of her dreams.

Alex (8:28)

We'll see.

Host 3 (8:29)

I wouldn't jump right into it. I would make her make a list and go, look, you got one more year to work on this.

Alex (8:35)

She's gotta earn your list.

Host 3 (8:36)

Yeah, let's go over some things that I want. Look, I'm going to freaking Guatemala, okay?

Host 2 (8:42)

I think it's really cool.

Host 1 (8:43)

It's a good idea. It's a cool idea.

Host 2 (8:45)

Good things to aspire to, regardless of whether she's the one or not.

Host 1 (8:49)

Alex, we'll talk to you when we get back from vacation.

Alex (8:52)

Okie doke.

Host 1 (8:53)

Okay, Bye.

Alex (8:53)

Bye.

Host 1 (8:56)

I think we're gonna have to do some kind of, like. He's gonna have to tell you the story when we get back, and then you'll have to interpret what happened.

Host 3 (9:04)

I didn't think it was that bad.

Host 2 (9:05)

I didn't either.

Host 3 (9:06)

Like, I thought he.

Host 1 (9:08)

It was hurting my ears.

Host 3 (9:10)

I didn't think.

Host 1 (9:10)

Because I haven't eaten or had caffeine or anything this morning.

Host 3 (9:13)

Yeah, I thought it was actually kind of a romantic story. I'm surprised you got off the phone

Alex (9:17)

with him that quickly.

Host 2 (9:17)

I think he got into his. His vibe. I was giving. I was giving him away because he didn't know he was coming on today. You need to eat a carb there with Captain Destiny.

Host 1 (9:26)

It was painful. So we'll talk to him when we get back, and either he can tell us a story or you can interpret it.

Host 2 (9:32)

Well, he can start telling us his story on Monday and by the time we get back.

Alex (9:36)

I didn't think it was. Yeah, the bird show.
