Braydon recounts a wild first date from Facebook dating:
- Setup: Recently recovered from a broken back and invited by a woman to dinner at her house, she offers to pick him up.
- Red Flags Start Early: She arrives with her two kids in the car, and "speed demons" down the highway to her place. ("Both kids in the car, man..." - Braydon, 07:22)
- Unprepared Home: Her house is messy and unprepared for guests; Braydon is left awkwardly drinking beer and watching Paw Patrol with her kids.
- Flavorless Dinner: The promised meal is bland spaghetti, possibly days old.
- Shocking Twist: Her phone keeps buzzing; she reveals she's not single but "going through a divorce" and ex-husband is suddenly coming over to get his stuff.
- Escape: Braydon hides in the bathroom with a 12-pack, texting his brother for rescue, ultimately jumps out the bathroom window to escape, running down a dark road for pickup.
"End up jumping out of a bathroom window and just start high-tailing it down the road." (Braydon, 09:36)
