JORDYN HAS A BOYFRIEND
01:12:41 Share

Welcome back to another episode of Mean Girl Pod Season 2! We're gonna have to say that for every single night. What? We're gonna have to say that for every single night. Yes, we are. It is Season 2. Forever. Till death do us part. Oh, we're getting married? Are you?

Shut up. Speaking of that, well, let's talk about last night. Okay, great. We have some similar faces from last night. So thank you guys for coming. If you're a repeater, we appreciate that. Yes, we sure do. That's very nice. I get nervous every time I get up here. It's like the only time I just said this and I didn't know I thought this, but I was like, we're podcasters, not public speakers. And I was like, the only time I've ever been like a public speakers at like a wedding is

And then I get up here and I get nervous for the first 10 minutes. Just look at me in the eyes. I'm clearly just looking at you. Um, which is so funny. Cause when I think of you, one, I have never seen you nervous in my entire life. And two, you're the best public speaker. I've seen you in so many meetings over the past few weeks. And I'm like, you're just like, um,

Like an expert. Okay, I'll get over it. That helped. Thank you. Yeah, that's also why I don't look at the audience because they make me nervous. We're both like piercing each other's eyes here. I'll go over there. We had like a call this morning with Mim who is like helping us just pull this whole thing together. And we're like, so do we look at the audience? Do we have to look at the audience? Or can we just look at each other? And he's like, try to look at the audience. He's like, you could engage with them if you want. I'm like, no, no.

I'll pick some eye contact people. She's like, not me, please. Hi, mom. I mean, you're easy, mom. She's a safe space. She is a safe space. Yeah, we have a few safe space people here. Yeah. Yeah. Okay, so how was last night for you? How did you feel? I blacked out. Not from alcohol. Oh, yeah. We didn't have our liquor license last night, so you definitely did not black out. No, you know how, like, when you have an important interview...

Or you just like public speak in college. You just don't remember anything that happened. Yes. That's how last night was for me. I woke up this morning and I was like, I don't really even remember being on stage. Oh, that's so funny. Do you think you'll remember tonight? I hope so. Tonight's a special night. So I hope so. I'm going to, I was, you know, I'm the most excited for tonight. I'm most excited for, that's not nice if it's Thursday. I am. That's sad.

Assault. No, tonight's going to be so exciting because we've been living under kind of like a rock and we've been holding our personal lives and we haven't said it. And tonight's your night to really like divulge everything. Yeah. How do you feel about that? I'm excited. I feel like I've been kind of living not like a double life for the past few months, but I feel like I've had to be cautious about what I post on social media. Yeah.

You really took this podcast and the podcast listeners on a roller coaster for the first 85 episodes because you were the single one. And my mom submitted a question that we'll do later, but I thought it was actually really good. How many people have you kissed previously in season one? And I thought, what a good question that was. Alex. Frogs. Frogs.

We haven't even announced. No, I'm just asking in season one, how many do you think you kissed? Oh, I wasn't. I'm pleading the fifth. No. Wait, like actually? Not frogs. Like, well, I know what you mean. Obviously you mean boy or men. I don't know. Like I've dated a lot of really horrible people, but I don't know. Give or take.

Throw a number out there. Three, three, three. I was going to say four, but you were thinking three. Okay. Yeah. I'm going to go with three. Okay, cool. But we have to announce why we're doing this episode right now. Yeah. We have to start with it. Okay. Let's lead with it. Lead from the front. You go, you say it. It's so crazy because I think it's so crazy because really we, we did do 85 weeks and you were never, you never said these words.

I know. And I think a lot of people on the podcast thought I was never going to say these words. But you guys, it's official. I finally have a boyfriend. A real boyfriend? I can't look at anyone in the audience. I know. You're like, ah. I know. But that's why it's so special because the listeners of the podcast have truly been with us for this entire ride of every single date I've been on, every single...

I've like, not every single person I've kissed, but like we've talked about it all the good, the bad, the ugly. And I feel like when I'm announcing this, I'm telling all of my friends that I have a boyfriend. Right. People are listening and people are in the room tonight too. Yeah. Like you finally, and you know what? It was so funny because a lot of times we wouldn't talk about our lives until we got in the room to record and

Because the couple of times that we did do that, we would, we would like text each other and then we would get in there and we'd be recording and it would sound like scripted almost. So we were like, so our new, our saying became save it for the pod. So every time you would tell me something, it was like for real. The first time I was finding out about it. And I just remember, I'm just playing something through my head right now, just sitting there thinking there's no way that you went like some, some of the guys you went on these dates with, like,

You went through it. Oh, yeah. I dated all types of men. Swindlers, furniture, club rats. The guy that my favorite one was the one that lost his wallet. The swindler. The swindler. Which we never talked about in the podcast before. But maybe we will now. The southern swindler. You want to tell it right now? That whole story? No, just like the top line.

I allowed a guy to take over $600 from me. No, this guy lost it. He lost his wallet. He left it on the car. It was odd that he prefaced like he led with that. It was a Gucci wallet, like kind of an irrelevant detail, but relevant when you realize, and he drove off and it fell off the car and Jordan was, you know, with him that weekend. And so he had Jordan pay for everything. Yeah.

I'm glad your mom thinks that's funny. He never. It took him like four months to pay back. Oh, yeah. No, and all my friends were like, have you gotten your money back yet? And I'm like, I will. I will. He did payment plans. Oh, yeah. I had him on a payment plan. Yeah. He would text them. I got $30 every two weeks. It was great. It was awesome. And it took about, yeah, four months. I finally got my last memo. He went into 7-Eleven. He's like, I need to get some dip. Can I have your card? She was like, they take Apple Pay. And he's like, yeah, I canceled all my cards.

Yeah. Who introduced me to this person? I had a mutual friend with him. I told you I didn't have his phone number in my phone. No, I said, I said, I can't vouch for him. I just can show you a photo of him and I don't have his phone number in my phone. So it's not like I didn't say he was good. You were at a crawfish boil. Yeah. Whatever you do in the South with him. And you're like, yeah.

You should message Jordan. You seem like a nice guy. I didn't know he was going to lose his Gucci wallet and not pay you. You know, the more you know, the more you learn. He drank five drinks. Do you like one at that dinner? Yeah. I put my card down. Yeah. Okay. That's, that was one of the ones, but we've grown from then. We have. We sure have. I just wish your boyfriend could have come tonight. You're not funny, Alex.

You're just being mean just wait till Thursday. You can't, literally can't do this back to me. No, I know, I know, I know. Can we go down the path of like... Yeah. I think we should go down memory lane. We should go through some dating, the whole shebang. All right, so... Because we really haven't talked about any of this for the past like three months. Right. Yeah. We have to fill everyone in on the time that we didn't really talk about our lives. So let's start with when you met...

Yes. And how you met him. Let's take a moment now to pause and thank our sponsors because this show is brought to you by Better Health. That's Better Health, H-E-L-P.

I was like, I just, it's not for me. I need to meet someone in a cool way, blah, blah, blah. Like I want to be serendipitous. I want to have like that meet cute. And then through a lot of therapy, through a lot of reading, I was like, you know what? We don't need that. So I'm going to go back on the apps and I met him on hinge. Of course. Right. Okay. So you meet him on hinge and what did you like? What caught your eye on hinge about him?

Do you remember where you just like swipe happy and then it happened later? Honestly, so it's funny. I don't think I've ever told him this before, but my therapist used to tell me never message people on Hinge that don't have very in-depth prompts because it means they didn't put a lot of effort into their prompts. And he didn't put a lot of effort into his prompts. But that day I was like, you know what?

I'm going to put myself out there. I'm trying to go on more dates. He was cute. You know what? This is one thing about you. You would have hermit times where you would go on no dates, and then you would come out, and then you'd be like an active dater. So were you at this phase, are you coming out of that, or are you in the middle of active dating? I was going into active dating.

Okay. So summer. Okay. So it always, when it's when, always when you come out. Okay. So you're coming out and then you're like, I'm going to message turtle or hermit crab. You're going to come out and then you messaged him and you were like, Hey, what's up? Did you message him first? Do you have to unhinge? No, that's bumble. Um, no, I matched with him, but he messaged me first. Do you know what he said?

I mean, yeah, I have all the messages saved. Was it like a hey or was it like a hi? How are you? I want to take you on a date. Well, it was funny because he told me this later. So apparently he like swiped yes to me, but then he deleted a hinge before I saw him. And then he rejoined and the algorithm like popped him back into my feed. And then I was like, oh, he's cute. So I matched with him and then he messaged me first. Okay. And it was just like a...

Like a simple high. It was kind of like a... I don't want to say like douchey. It was like a synonym for that. What's like a...

Charming-ish. Like, you know. Like, you're like, oh, he's like... He's kind of... Suave. Sure. But he, like, caught my attention. I was like, hmm. Interesting. I'm gonna see what this is all about. Okay. He's making fun of one of my prompts. Koi? No. Douchey, charming...

Okay. Oh, like a little F boyish. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, okay. So I was intrigued. I was like, oh, okay, interesting. Okay, so you had an eyebrow lifted. Yeah. And so he was like, hey, and you were like, hot. Yeah, so then we started messaging. I was moving during this time, and you know how I was. That is like a normal person's equivalent of like tax day. No, like I... I'm like, mom...

I love that Kim's giving us some comic relief. That's my mom and she's laughing at every joke, but thank you, mom. I don't know. We need to get those cannabis drinks back out so the crowd loosens up. I thought the alcohol would help them tonight.

Nope. Okay. Tough crowd. Oh my God. No. So what happened was I was moving. So I was just a mess. We've never known if we were funny because we've never had an audience. I know. I heard some laughs last night. I don't know. Somebody laughed us in. Whatever. Okay. Um, but yeah, so anyways, I was moving, which I was a mess. Like it was like the worst two weeks of my life. And, um,

We were messaging. He's like, do you want to go out? And I was like, I can't this day. Do you want to go out? I think I was like on a Sunday. He's like, I'm going to Hawaii. So he's like, when I get back, I'll message you. You know me how anal I am. I was going to say, because one time somebody did say that they would message you later and then they didn't. And then you... Okay. So with Jordan, the way it goes is if you're like...

would you like to hang out she's like yes Sunday two to four or three Thursdays from now one to five like she's got a block she's a calendar girl color coordinated color coordinated calendars and so he he knew that and he or he's like the same or he was a planner so he does yeah he is a planner like he was very good about being like hey do you want to get drinks on Thursday and I was like Thursday doesn't work do you want to do Wednesday and he was like I can't I'm going to or

That doesn't make sense because it's backwards. He was like, it was like a different day. And he was like, I was like this day. And he's like, I'm actually going to be in Hawaii. So I was like, okay, cool. He's like, I'll message you when I get back. I'm a very like, I need to plan days in advance what I'm doing. So I didn't hear from him. He was like, I'm coming back on Sunday. It was like Sunday. And I was like, I haven't heard from him. So I'm just going to message him. I was like, whatever. I'm just going to go for it. Okay. So I messaged him and he was like, oh, I was thinking about texting you today. And then he planned the date. Okay. And what was the first date?

We went to a bar in my neighborhood, which was really nice because it was like walking distance from me. I mean, we live in New York, but it was like two feet from me. And he knew that? Or was that random? I think he probably knew that because of my location on Hinge. Oh, okay. So he picked a spot near you. You walked there. Yeah. And then the first time you saw him in person, you felt... Oh, you know, the day we had the date was after we spoke at Han Eve's event. Oh, that's nice. Okay. So you were kind of already like...

I was like wired from that. Yeah. That was like adrenaline. Yeah. Okay. So you go to the date and then you see him in person and he's what? Taller than you thought. Cuter than you thought. Nicer than you thought. He was very cute. Yeah.

Yes. Is this happy hour or dinner? A happy hour. Okay. So it's like what? Five, six o'clock? It was a 630. 630. Okay. So we're going for drinks only. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. No, he was very cute. Very nice. Very... So the thing about him is... You know how I've gone on a lot of dates with guys and they kind of are like... Pretend they don't know what we did when we worked at Barstool. And then later on you look at their Instagram and they follow every single person at Barstool. He was very fun.

That's always a good one. I just love your mom's laugh. He was very forward about like knowing who I was, but didn't make it like weird or like, he was just like, yeah, I've seen your clips. That's cool. Okay. But not, not an avid podcast listener, but he would see the clips. Yeah. Okay. Okay. So was the first date, did you like, like him instantly? Or were you like, I don't know yet.

Um, I mean, I like really have worked on not liking anybody instantly when I go on dates with them because it's like, how could you, you, you know, this person for like four minutes. So I just like had a guard up and I was like, I'm going to get to know this person. But, um, we bopped around to another place, stayed out to like midnight. I think you had a lot of drinks. It was great. Okay. So the first day was perfect.

Or great. It was good. It was good. Okay. It was good. Okay. So then the next day, did you guys, but I was moving. Oh, right. So, so I was stressed out. Didn't even care. Yeah. Cause you were just like, when you're moving, you are one track minding that night after a day, I got the lease signed to my apartment. Oh, so it was meant to be. Yeah. So then, then what happened? Like, do you guys text a lot or you like wait a week to go on another date? What happens? So I think this actually, the whole moving thing was

to my advantage because it was distracting. So I wasn't obsessing over if he was going to text me or not, which so if anyone's going on dates, like just have something really stressful going on in your life. Cause like, I didn't think about it. I was like, I have to move. I have to get furniture. I have to deal with like movers. I have my mom coming. It was just,

I was so overwhelmed that I couldn't even think about anybody texting me. If my phone was going off, I was like throwing it at the walks. I was so stressed. Okay. Right. So you just, you, you were occupied. Yeah. But, um, so what happened was, remember that time that I told you that you can actually see what people edit their texts to be? Yes. So, um,

You know how I get a little happy when I drink? Yeah. Like usually like how's the day? And I'm like, it was great. He's, he's my ex-husband. The next day I was like, yeah, it's fine. Whatever. I'll never see him again. I have so many texts from this one being like, I love him and he's the one. And the next one was like, that was like such a silly text message to me. And I never want to talk to him again. And I'm like, Oh, that's just, let me know how, where, where we are. I'm in, I'm good. So he, so that night, um, he walked me home because we were like in my neighborhood. Oh, that was nice.

Yeah. Did he kiss you on night one? No. Okay. And, um, I just like, I, I'm just awkward. I'm always awkward. So he was like, I'd like, I would like to see you again. And I was like, yeah, but I have to move. So I don't know the next time. I just, I need people to, we need to like double click on this moving thing. Like it's, it's not a normal, like brain moving. Like, no, no, you're so like,

I was in my therapist's office crying. Like, I'm not kidding. I was literally like, I've never been this stressed in my entire life. I don't see the light at the end of the tunnel. And she's like, you're moving. Like, you're going to be fine. I'm like, I'm not going to be fine. I'm not okay.

That's where your brain was at. Yeah. Like I couldn't find you or hear from you or like anything. Yeah. So he literally was like, like, I would like to love to see you again. I was like, yeah. Um, and I like stumbled over my words and he assumed like I never wanted to see him again, which any normal person would. And, um,

so I was like walking up and I got the lease signed. Like as I'm walking the door, I get an email from the landlord being like, you and your roommate were approved for this apartment. And you know, like that feeling when you finally get your lease signed in New York city, like it's, you're on top of the world. That's like somebody getting like their actual dream job. You won the lottery for you. Yes. I had a place to live. Perfect. So I was so happy. So I texted him and I was like,

Like, sorry, that was kind of... I acted, like, so weird. I've been really stressed about this move. Like, it was, like, a very long text. And I was like, I had so much fun tonight. I really want to see you again. And then I, like, get up to, like, my apartment. I'm like, oh, my God. Like, what am I doing? That sounds so needy and, like, happy and aggressive. I'm like, that's way hard to get. So I literally erased the text. And I was like... But did you edit it? Like, you already sent it. I edited. Edited it. Edited it. And I think all I said was, like...

I got my lease back or something. I don't remember what it was. It was like one, it was like three words. Yeah. And in my head, I'm like, he'll never see that. It's fine. Okay. But you, but okay. So when you, you know, when you send the text message, it's already sent, like this might confuse you, but like you, once you've already sent it, then you can go back and click edit and then retype it. There's a way you can swipe up and see the original text.

Right. So like he could see her, what she really said and then changed it to like one line. Yes. Be careful if you're trying to be like sneaky. No, you, you can see the text. You say like a multiple and then you're like, nah, it's all good. Also, if you're on your computer, you can see deleted text still. And the edited text will pop up no matter what on your computer. So nobody's safe. Nobody. Nobody. I know. Yeah. So just don't even delete the text. It's not even worth it.

So I thought I was in the clear. I was like, yeah, I played that off cool. He thinks I'm just a cool, chill girl, whatever. I didn't even say I had fun. I just signed the lease, and I was happy. He told me after, I think, a month and a half dating, he goes, I have to tell you something. Yeah. So he did see it. He was like, yeah. So he thought I didn't like him because he was like, I don't know what this girl's doing. Why is she playing mind games with me? She wrote this really nice text and deleted it. It makes no sense. Yeah.

But yeah, I'm like, now that he knows me, he's like, I'm not a podcast listener. No, like I'm crazy. He he ended up texting me the next day and or like, I think just to be like, how was your move?

And then we scheduled a date for like the following week, like a second date. That went well. Yeah, it went well. I had like a friend's birthday dinner that night. He walked me to it. He like briefly met a few of my friends when he said goodbye to me. And then. Oh, how was that? How was like meeting the friends? It was like so quick because we were, he like dropped me off at a birthday dinner. And

And then it was like, we walked in. I don't even remember. It was like that. What did you initially like about him? What was the thing that kept drawing you to him? So I think I made it pretty known from the beginning. I'm very busy. I need a set plan. I need to know far in advance what's going on.

Like, if you want to spend time with me, you have to tell me like a week in advance, like when you want to do something. And he was very good about that. Like he listened to me. And we talked about that on the podcast a lot. Like if you have expectations for someone, you have to let it be known. You have to communicate those to that person. And if they don't follow through, like they're not worth your time. But I told him what I needed and he fully like.

delivered on a silver platter. Wow. Yeah. Okay. So that, that really was what it was. Like you felt like he was, cause that's your thing. Yeah. It's like you, and I'm bad at it, but I had to learn it with you too. Like schedule with your time. Yeah. So from the beginning he was good about that. Yeah. And also too, like, I think he could, it was a very busy time for me cause I was moving, like I've stated. And it's like, if you wanted to hang out with me, like you had a plan a little far in advance. So he was very intentional about it. He'd be like,

Like after we got done hanging out, I knew the next time I was going to see him. Okay. Yeah. Okay. When was the first kiss? The third date. The third date. Okay. What'd we do on the third date?

He came over to my new neighborhood because I had just moved. Because you moved in. And wait, is this when he brought you the housewarming gift? He did, yeah. Oh, this made you happy. Okay, let's talk about that. So you'd moved into the apartment, monumental day, and then he brought you a housewarming gift. Well, he didn't come over the day I moved into my apartment. I mean, you never allow that to happen. I always didn't allow him to come in the day he came because I was like, it's not ready yet. It's not even close to being ready. You can't just come into my apartment.

But I did. That's nice of you to let your guard down. And he brought me a housewarming gift, which is very sweet. Wine? It was a bottle of wine and a candle. And a candle. Yeah. It was very thoughtful. Yeah. Okay. And those are like the little things that I started to really appreciate. Like he was going above and beyond and doing more than anyone else has ever done that I dated. And like, that's what guys need to hear. Like, or girls like doing a little bit more if you like somebody, because if it's reciprocated, like they're not going to think it's, it's weird or too much. Um,

I do feel like when we were...

20 to 25, you could just like go out and like date somebody socially. Yeah. And like the older you get, I feel like there is a place for just like a little bit more thoughtful moves. Yeah. And that can like set the pack apart. Well, yeah. It's like, how are you going to set yourself apart from the rest? Like everyone's always like, there's so many fish in the sea. There's so many people in New York to find. Like, it's so hard to like, everyone's always looking for the next best thing. Well, it's like, then do something that's a little different than everyone else. So you stand apart from everyone else. Yeah. And that was really thoughtful that he did that. And like, I,

I think every single person here can be like, well...

I've gotten the ick if this person did this. It's like, okay, but if you really like someone, the ick's not going to happen. Did you ever get the ick with him early on and think, I'll power through? Like, not once? Not once. Okay, so you have the first kiss at your apartment on date three. It was not at my apartment. Oh, but he came to your apartment on date three? Well, he just came and, like, picked me up. Oh, and dropped it off. Yeah, yeah. Okay, and then where'd you go? What'd you go do? We, like, bopped around to a bunch of bars. We went to this dive bar, and the...

became very good friends with the bartender he gave us some shots and then that's on the third date i finally got my kiss on the third date okay i like that and was the kiss good are you concerned that it was on the third date yes i would like to double click on that um why did you wait till the third date to kiss him i didn't kiss him you're waiting to kiss you yeah well okay talk about kiss somebody first talk about what you're gonna do to set yourself apart

I think it was smart that he waited till the third date. Are you, I'm not setting myself apart. I'm so confused. What do you mean? I think it's cute that he waited till the third date. Cause you probably wanted to kiss him on the first and second date. Yeah. Yeah. No, no. It was great. But like if he wouldn't have kissed me on by the third day, I'd have been like, he doesn't like me. He just wants to be friends. Cause usually when you're like dating people, you get a kiss by at least a second date.

I like second date. First date's a little too much for me because I'm still like nervous. Second date, because you want to make sure you're physically compatible with that person. Like when your lips touch. Yeah. Cause like, imagine like being hanging out with someone for three times. And then on the third date, they kiss you and it's a horrible kiss. And you're like, well, crap. Like I really enjoyed spending time with you, but physically like this is just not going to do it. Did sparks fly? Like were you instantly like, Ooh, I really enjoyed the kiss. We were also both very drunk. Did it just stop at a kiss? No.

Yeah. Okay. So that was it. Yeah. All right. So a peck on date three. Yeah. Okay. And then what? When did you plan the date? Cause you planned the date for you guys. You did the park. I planned that date. No, I didn't plan that date. Sorry. I lied. I planned the fourth date. Okay. So number four, you plan. Yeah. Love that. Yeah. And that's the thing too. It's like, um, he planned a lot. He was the planner. Yeah. Okay. Cause a lot of times you're going on dates and spot like the second day, the guy's like, so what do you want to do? And it's like, can you just plan it?

It's not that hard to like find a restaurant. Right. You don't want to pick. Yeah. Okay. So then when was the first time you had your first sleepover? On the third date. Third date? I thought it was just a kiss. No, did you, did it not? Did you not just say? I did say that. Was it a lie or did you just kiss into the night? We're going into every detail. We don't have to. I don't know. I thought so. No, we had a sleepover on the third date. All right. So zero to 100. He's probably going to be like, I did not expect you to tell him a single story.

Listen, I'm just glad he couldn't come. I guess this is the job that we just haven't done in so long. We could cut this part out and then he won't hear it on audio. Nah, it's fine. Okay, we'll leave it. No, you can have a sleepover and be very respectful, Alex Bennett. No, I'm asking the question. I don't know. I'm wondering. No, we just... So he... I guess I never mentioned he doesn't live in New York. Okay, where does he live? I guess that's like something I skipped over that's pretty important. Yes. Yeah, so he lives in Connecticut. Connecticut.

And Connecticut, it was like, you were going to be like, he lives in Texas, Michigan, like lives in California. Is it train right away? Works in the city, right? Yeah. So we see, okay. So it's like, it's kind of just like a, yeah, I mean, it's, it's a 45 minute train right away. It's so easy, which is nice. I think. Well, so it is nice, but it is hard because it is like a long distance relationship sometimes. Cause you have to like really plan and be intentional about,

when you're going to see each other next. Right. But that is the reason why he spent the night. Cause I wasn't going to send him home on the train that late at night. That'd have been cruel. That would be mean of you. Yeah. I would never. Was the sleepover planned or did it just happen? No. So in my head, I was not expecting that to happen because I'm a very well behaved individual and I don't like to be physical with guys until later on.

Because we've talked about that in the pod. We have. Not that you can't sleep with a guy on the first date, but we've just talked about it. I don't do that anymore. Okay, so day three. Now, is this like a Wednesday night or what night is this? Because doesn't it... This is a Saturday. Oh, this is my first ever weekend date. It doesn't work the next day, so we can't spend the night. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. I never got on a weekend date. How was the first...

Oh, because we used to talk about like what nights you were allowing people. Yeah. So he gets a Saturday night. Yeah. Oh man, you did like him. You know what we can think? What? Our Pink Whitney tour because we were gone like every Monday through Thursday. Right. So then you had your weekends available and you really liked him and you wanted to hang out with him. Yeah, I wanted to see him and I was like, well, it's either Saturday or never. So I guess I'll just do it. Quick pause to talk about...

Yeah. What was the turning point for you? It was like, because you know when you talk to somebody and you really want to get deep with them and vulnerable? It's like you kind of open Pandora's box and it was just like on that fourth date.

We really got vulnerable. And I was like, oh my God, you're so easy to talk to. You have emotional intelligence. You have depth. Like, you're different. And I just remember we were in the park and drinking wine and eating really good food. And I was like, I like you. Oh, and so then you were like, okay. So then from there, when you decide, okay, I like you, did you let the guard down? Because I think letting your guard down for you...

It's hard. Oh, God, yeah. Yeah. So then after the fourth date, were you kind of like, all right, I like him. I trust him. Like the EQ probably made you feel safe.

Yes, but you know how you get a little scared when you start to like somebody? That kind of kicked in, and then I think I kind of went a little backwards, and I was like, oh, I don't really like liking somebody because that means you can get hurt, you'd be vulnerable, and it's just like, ugh, this is so frustrating. So I feel like, I can't really remember exactly, but I think...

Both happened where I was like, oh, I like him, but also I like him. So now I don't want to. I was like, I don't want. No, this is bad. Okay. And how did he handle that? Did he notice it? And did he like make, did he, he never even noticed it? I don't think he ever noticed it. Okay. At this point, are you guys texting each other like every day? Are you calling each other saying good morning? Like what's the vibe there? Oh yeah. We texted nonstop. All day, every day. All day, every day. From the get go? Like novels. Novels.

Okay. Cute. Yeah. Okay. So now are we, are we just dating him? And are we like, what's, what's happening in the world after the fourth day when you decide like a fall for him? I love that. You just did that deep, nicely phrased sentence in there. Yes. I was just dating. Okay. I'm just like, because we did talk about the podcast. It's important to date multiple people at once. Yes. Okay. But I was just dating him at this point. All right. So we're just dating him and we're like, I like him. And now we're talking every day to this person. So things are starting to flow. So now are we going on consistent dates? Like, are we seeing each other twice a week?

Yeah. We would usually do like one weekday, one weekend. Cause we had a long distance relationship. Okay. Because we were a flight away. So it was like, we would do, we would plan. We would very in detail plan the after work. And then on the weekends you would have like a sleepover or something. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. When did he take you to the winery?

That was the fifth date. Okay, because this one you liked. I went back, so I went back and I searched boyfriend, he has a name, in my phone. And I saw the date when you were like, he took me to a winery. She loves wineries. I do, yeah. So that's another thing too. It's like to set yourself apart, listen to the person you're dating and plan a thoughtful date around something that they like to do. And it was the most thoughtful date anyone's ever planned in my entire life. And I've been on a lot of dates. And...

He took me to a winery in Red Hook.

And we went, I mean, it was winery. You guys know what it is. You drink wine. It was great. And it was on the water. And we went to a restaurant. You take the ferry. It was a very cute day. But it was like, it wasn't the fact like what we exactly did. It was that somebody listened to what I like to do. And they tailored a date around my like favorite thing in the world, which is drinking wine. And I remember you said this detail too, like after you left the wine place, is it a vineyard or is it a winery? It's a winery. Actually.

After you were there. I don't remember. Okay. He knew what restaurant you were going to and you loved that. Like you guys just walked out and he was like, and we're going here. And you were like, oh my gosh, like I don't have to plan anything. Like he had just done it. I didn't have to think about anything. Yeah. Which is so rare.

Then I pulled up a text after that date, like the next day. I tell you too much. Well, I just don't delete those texts. So I was reading and then she texted me and she was like, I really like boyfriend. And I didn't respond. And then the next text you sent me was like 30 minutes later and you go, I really miss him. And I was like, oh, I've heard you say you like somebody, but I never heard you say I miss somebody. Yeah, because we were on our Pink Whitney tour. So I like forget that we, throughout our dating, we were like,

with the Pink Whitney tour, which, like I said, we were gone for week. Like, we would leave, like, Monday or Tuesday, and then we would get back, like, Thursday. So I was with you, and I'd be like, I miss blah, blah, blah. Yeah, and I was like, wow. And I would ask you about him periodically, and I was used to her saying, after, like, two dates, I'm like, I don't really talk to him anymore. I don't really like him anymore. I'm not sure. But with this one, it was like, every single time, you liked him more and more. And I was like, oh, boy. Yeah.

Because we had had some, like, furniture. Swindler. Swindler. Clifford. Club rat. What? Who's club rat? Who's Clifford? Clifford was the first guy. Yeah. We had been through a lot and nicknamed them all. Uh-huh. But this nickname is boyfriend, which is, you know, revolutionary. And then I went back through my texts, and then you texted me on, like...

A week after that one, and you said, I really, really like him. And I was like, oh my gosh. I know. So then he asks you. Oh yeah. He asked me to be his girlfriend. Okay. This is my favorite. So I, you know, disappeared off the face of the planet for two weeks. And. Oh my God. Yes. And, and I'm, we're going to meet for the first time at bagel pub. And I'm like, meet me at bagel pub at 10 a.m. And then we'll go record at 11. Okay.

And I got there at 9.55, which is revolutionary because I knew she'd be there like 9.45. Yeah. So I got there and she wasn't there. And I was like, oh my God, I forgot to clarify the bagel pub by the office. She's like, I know. And I was like, oh, well, are you inside? Like I'm outside with my luggage. She's like, no, I'm going to be there at 10.01. And I was like, well, who died? And she like walks in and she's like, hi. And I'm like-

Hey. And then she's like, I got to talk to you. And I was like, okay. And what'd you say? I was like, I have a boyfriend. I was like, Oh my God. I couldn't believe it. After like, I was like, okay, Alex, just for like one second, we have to be really happy. I have a boyfriend. Then we can get into business. I was like, I might. And I was like, I knew something was, and he had dropped you off because he's a car. Cause we have a long distance relationship. He's an airplane away and rinse the car. And you were like, I have a boy and ever. And you know, the thing ever since then,

Ever since that moment, you have not stopped glowing. You do that right there. You do that thing where you're like constantly giddy and happy and it is the sweetest thing on the entire planet. That right there. Yeah, that deserves. Much easier to talk about this when we're in a room. No, it's so sweet. I have a boyfriend. I know on the phone with Mim today. What? Even on the phone with Mim today, he like talks about him like. Speaking of Mim, he just flashed me a question.

Are you in love? All right, Brandon, Mim. That's the reaction I'm going to get. Is that a yes or a no? Yes. Oh, wow. Well, okay. So we were on our call today with Mim. And so what she kept saying to me,

I've heard a lot of bad things about boys and from you. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And not like in a couple good, but with, with him, with boyfriend, you'll, you'll always go, I'll be like, so how's boyfriend? And you're like, Oh my gosh, she's so good. There's nothing I don't like about him. I love him. And I'd be like, that's like so adorable that like, you like love the idea of him. And then today on the call, men was like,

Jordan, are you in love? And I'm like, and she's like, well, yeah. And I was like, what? And she was like, I tell you every time you ask me, I'm in love. And I was like, no, you say I love him. And you were like,

Yeah, I love him. And I was like, I love him. That's exactly how you say it. Okay, so when did... So I just thought you knew. I guess I did technically know. Yeah. But can we get that moment? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. So, well, first we should, like, talk about him asking to be his girlfriend. We should do that first. So, as you know, I...

little bit of a pushy person okay and I feel like I like um I always tell them like did I ever force you to ask me to be your girlfriend like you didn't feel forced did you because you know me I just like will kind of like dance around something blink twice if you're no I'm like should I force you do you like force you to ask me to be your girlfriend or me

But I went to Connecticut for the first time and I spent the whole weekend with him. And it was like such a great weekend. It was so much fun. And then I came back and he was going to a wedding and he was going to spend the night at my apartment that night because he was like in the city. And I was like with my girlfriends. We were celebrating one of my friend's birthdays. And the whole time I was like...

Dang, I like miss him. I'm like, I'm like, I wonder what he's doing. He's at a wedding. I wish I was at the wedding with him, like all this stuff. And I'm like, this is weird. Like I haven't felt this way. It was like, and I remember Alana was there and she like asked me something. And I think about like him being my boyfriend in my head. I was like, no, it's like too soon. And she like made a comment. She was like, it's not too soon. Like I think she said like Mike asked her after like a few weeks or something. And I was like, well, it's been a few months.

And so I was just like thinking about it. And then he came over that night. And then the, that morning we were just like talking and I kept like dancing around it. And I'd be like, cause he'd be like, I like you so much. And I was like, what does that mean? And then I'd be like, explain that. And he's like, well, I don't want to see anybody else. I'm like, what does that mean? Give it a title if you had to. Like, what does that mean exactly? Yeah.

And he's like, I don't want you to see anybody else. I'm like, what does that mean exactly? I was like, I want you to be my girlfriend. Like, I thought you'd never ask. Yeah. I was like, oh my God, really? I have no idea. That's what you meant. I accept. Yeah. I was like, I guess I could fit it in. Yeah. I didn't see that coming. I was so excited. I was like, yes, of course. Yeah. That's really cute. Yeah. Okay. So you're in your apartment when this is happening? Yeah. Yeah.

I was in my apartment. Did you kiss after that? Of course we did. No, we just like high fived and then he went home. So then, um, I don't know how, wait, that was like what? Three months in two months in. Well, from me, from meeting him. Yeah. Like it was like a month and a half. Okay. Okay. Okay. So then the, I love you is how far after that?

Like two weeks. And were you like, did you make him say that or he got there on his own? So we were in, um, so it happened after when we were, when we were still working at Barstool, it happened. I think one of the days, it might've been the day, um,

of when the tweet came out. I can't remember, but it was the day that you and I were just going through it. And I was just in a bad mood. I was just like so overwhelmed. And I was like, I'm just sad and overwhelmed. But then we went on a date and we just did something casual. Like we just drank wine. But I was like,

I was sad, but I, like, knew I really, really liked him because I had, like, felt it a different day. You felt the love a different day? Yeah. Okay, when you say you felt it, what is that? Were you, like, you wanted to say it kind of thing? Or you, like, looked at him and you were just like, I love you. Well, I hugged him and in my head I said, I love you. And I was like, oh, okay.

I'm so glad I did not say that out loud. Oh, that's so sweet. Okay. So that's what you meant by felt. Yeah. Okay. Um, and then when we were, we had drank like two or three bottles of wine. I can't remember. I had a long day at work. Okay. I was stressed out. I was emotional. And we were, we were, I thought you were going to say glasses of wine. No, you know me. I can't just have a glass of wine. I stop at one. Yeah.

And we were on the taxi on the way home and I can't remember exactly what I said. Oh, he said like, he was like, he's like, I like you so much. And I was- No, you did not say what does that mean? I don't remember exactly what I said, but I was just like, I think I actually did. I like asked him, I was like, what does that really mean? Like, what does that even mean? You like me a lot. Define it. And he was like, I love you. And I was like, oh my God, I love you too. Wait, that's so crazy. I love you too.

It's like I'm a little bit of a pusher. It's perfect. It's like, I wouldn't want it any other way. It's like the best. Okay. I'm a control freak. What does it mean? It's like, I love you. See how girls are realistic. She's like, what does that mean exactly? There you go. That's a good way. Well, what is the next segment? I don't know. Do you want to have a special guest on stage? Yes. Can we FaceTime him? Please. Let's FaceTime the boyfriend. Oh, okay. Or we could do him one better.

He's here, Alex. Do you think he would come up here? I think he would. Do you want to say his name? You can say his name. Pete. Come on!

Quick pause to talk about Jordan's favorite product on the planet, Lume. Ladies and gentlemen, this is the best whole body deodorant, the first of its kind. It is seriously safe. It is created by an OBGYN, which is very important.

It is clinically proven to block odor all day and control odor for up to 72 hours, which is why she always smells good. It's aluminum-free, baking soda-free, and paraben-free. What do you love about it? So my favorite is the whole body deodorant. I was using the same deodorant my entire life, and I started to notice I was getting BO on a regular basis. I've talked about this a lot in other episodes, especially around...

my period. So one day my mom was like, you need to try a new deodorant because your body's becoming immune to it. She handed me the peony rose scented whole body deodorant. I smelled so good. My dad even complimented me. He's like, why do you smell so good? And I didn't have perfume on or anything. It was literally just a deodorant. This girl loves it. And I woke up the next day, still smelled good. And to this day, I am obsessed with it. It does not leave a residue on my clothes and it does not leave like that sticky feeling either. It's the best deodorant on the market.

His friends are here and I was like, oh, they picked a good day to come. I bet they were all like trying to put a face to the thought of him coming up on stage. Did anyone think he was here? Did you guys all know it? Yeah, they all knew it. Did the front row give it away? For the record, my hinge prompts were not that bad. Were they not? Do you remember one of them? I don't, but we can go back. You love Dua Lipa, you...

I mean, who doesn't? It was like, I love julepa. I can kind of cook. And oh, God, what was it? It was obviously not impressive because I can't remember it. And then I never even got into this, but he lied about living in New York. His location was Midtown East and he lived in Connecticut. When did I tell you that, though?

Was it before? No, it was before our first date. Yeah. And then, but then like, I was like, okay, so when are you moving to the city? And he was like, so this was July. And he was like, September. And I was like, oh, that's fine. Like a month and a half. He's not moving to New York until the end of November. Yeah.

Let me ask you this. I still haven't moved. Yeah, he still hasn't moved. I still live in Connecticut. We're still doing long distance. Oh, I know. He's like a public speaker at work, so he's probably just loving this. Oh, yeah, it's probably easy for him. He's better than us. It's not hard. He can actually look at the audience. I can't. He's like, da-da-da-da-da.

I know. It's like, it's, I was like, it's so much to ask somebody to come up here. Like it's your first podcast and your public speaking. And he's like, I'm good. I got it. I was like, Oh, I'm like, perfect. Wait, would you have swiped on him? If it said Connecticut? Well, my, my location wouldn't have gotten that far, but if you would have told me, um,

We actually met his family the other day. Did I tell you that? Yeah, I did tell you that. And we talked about this and they were like, if you, if you would have been like, yeah, moving in, let's say December 1st, would you have continued the conversation? And I would not have. And she means that. Yeah. No, cause like that's not long. That is July to December doing long distance. Six months. It's not that long. Yes, it is. If you can drive it, I think, do you think it's long distance? Yeah.

It is long distance. I don't think that's fair. We have to like, it's long distance. It is long distance. In planner time, it's like three hours. But what works out is we're both planners. Yes. He's the biggest planner ever. So I think that helps. Okay. I have some questions for you. Let's go. I was going to ask Jordan and you both, but we know. So what did you first like about her? Yeah. What'd you first like about me?

What does it mean? What does that mean? I think the first thing that stood out was you were telling me your story about how you came to New York. First of all, your life dream to move to New York. And then you wanted to work for Barstool for a very long time.

You wanted to not basically be in the social media space, but you wanted to be like a newscaster and things like that. Yeah. And I was like, she really knows what she wants and she like goes for it and she gets it. And that was attractive. I was,

This is aside from looks, obviously. I don't want to go down the physical route. But yeah, that was the first thing I was like, wow, she actually knows exactly what she wants and she knows how to get it. So that was probably the first thing that stood out for me. Wow, that's a great answer.

I could like sit up here all day listening to these things. This is great. Okay, here's another one. Do I ask this back? Well, no. This is my time to shine. But I think I did. But I think you said it was that he was a planner, right? Didn't I ask that the first thing? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. The hook'em? Yeah, I really appreciated that he... He was careful with your time. Yeah, that's so big to you. He was very considerate. Like when our...

I feel like when our date ended, like within 24 hours, I knew the next time I was going to see him. Good job. Yeah. That's natural to both of you, which is nice. Yeah. Even with the edited text. Yeah. God, that was like PTSD. Did you see it that night? I, this is. I think you did. You guys need to know this. We were, we said goodbye and I'm walking down her block as you text me. Because I got so excited about my lease. I know, but I watched her edit texts.

He did. Like I saw the original and I watched the edit and I was like, what does this mean? Cause it's like drastic. The two. Yeah. It was so great. I didn't like think he'd be this good on stage. It's kind of annoying. Cause he's getting like laughs and I like staying really good at everything. This is great. Well, it was nice having you Pete. You're not done yet. My time's over. No. Yeah. No. Like he full. I forgot that. Like in real time, he saw me edit the text.

Cause I like did it within seconds, but his phone was open and he was just like, wait, what just happened? I walked away. Like she doesn't want to see me again. And then saw the edited text. I was like, she does not want to see me again. Yeah. Cause you were like, do you want to hang out? Like you were like, I would love to see you again. I was just like, I like stumbled over my words. It was very awkward. And I was like, I'm just an idiot. This is so stupid. But you were like my lease. But my, my lease. I like you, but hold on. No, literally I was like, literally all I could think about was like, I don't want to be homeless. I need an apartment.

That's where her mind goes there. Yeah. I was like, you can live with me. Okay, now, have you guys had a first fight? And if so, what was it? Yes, we have. Okay. You can go first. Different first fights? No, it was the night that he met you. Oh. Yeah. Did I have something to do with it? No. I don't want to know now. Right before we met you. Yeah, no. I don't want to blame...

because every girl would get mad, but I was PMSing. And I was very emotional and stressed. We were planning our live shows. I was overwhelmed. I technically don't have a job. It's an automatic pass. I'm getting my period. It's not your fault. I'll take a little blame. Here we go. I did a couple of things that I may have slipped off a little bit on a few minor things. We're going to have to get a detail. What did we slip up on?

Just a little detail. Give us an area. Was it planning? Was it a gift? It was planning related. Okay, yeah. You were slacking on the planning a little bit. We were going to meet you, her friend. No, we were meeting your friends the night before. Oh, yeah. The night before. Okay, okay. And I was like...

What time are we going? I'll get the Uber. Let me figure out the subway track. You should not have opened this box. We closed it very nicely the other day. You didn't put a bow on it? I did. It's just not tied tight. Oh, it's not tied tight. Okay, so that's good. So we have had our first fight. All right. I did apologize. I definitely overreacted. But I was just, you know what? I mean, like we literally put this, not, not.

to not take responsibility for my actions. But we've been stressed and we've been going through a lot and I was just like very overwhelmed and I was like, you know how it's been. No, totally. So knowing that

like that she's in that state are you like um on high alert or like how do you handle that knowing that she's walking on eggshells no but i'm just kidding whatever no but like but like knowing when high stress situations are you like how do you handle things like that are you more apt to be like words of effort oh you just flat call no calm as a cucumber that's nice yeah i would say i don't it takes a lot to get her eyes out of me typically so um i know what's going on like

Play-by-play throughout the day with what's going on with you guys. So,

I take that into account for sure. But also, I'll admit, yeah, there's things that I'm at fault for. I'm not going to blame it all on you. Thank you. I think we could tie the box back up. Yeah, I think we should tie it up. That was sweet. Okay, all right. I know Alex gave me the list. I'm like, we should probably cut the fighting question. He's like, no, let's talk about it. I'm like, all right, let's talk about it. Let's go. That's fair. That's true. Do you guys want that stuff? Yeah. Just a little bit. Everyone loves drama. Yes.

We're not perfect, you guys, okay? There you go. I was going to say, you got to have like the ups and the downs. And it's healthy to fight. You need, it's like, if you, like, I feel like you really do need to have an argument within the first few months of a relationship because like, if you have a fight, let's say six months deep, you're going to have an argument.

And you like don't have compatible like arguments or I don't say argument styles, but like way you handle problems. Yeah. Like that, that's not good. Right. You have to know that you can communicate well and get through it. Yeah. Yeah. Okay, good. Okay. What surprised you most about each other? It could be good or bad or funny, but the more you got to know each other, we like, oh, I never saw that coming. She's, she's a really good singer and dancer. Yeah.

I'll walk around the corner of the kitchen and she's like pulling the dishes out and she's singing and dancing. And no, it's I think it's like, you know, when you when you first meet somebody and you both have these like walls up. So you don't see like every little thing that goes on. I think as we've gotten to know each other, the walls have come down a lot. And yeah, she's just like busting moves all over the place. And like talking to you, think the feet thing, talking in different accents. Sometimes I'm like,

Was that you who just said that? So out of nowhere. But yeah, I think that's my favorite thing. Like the cute little quirks? Cute little quirks. Okay, I like that. That's a good answer. And his?

So like when I remember how I told you like his first comment to me on him was kind of like that he was like a little bit of like a shithead. I always would say to him because he's like so polite and like as you guys can tell like the nicest person ever. And I'm like, I feel like there's like this shithead side of you that like you're not showing me. And like every once in a while, it's never like mean, but he'll like say something like, oh, I see coming out because like he just seems like so perfect. But like every once in a while, he'll like.

He'll say something like, oh, interesting. Is it like sassy or like funny or like assholey? It's like funny and sassy. I wouldn't say assholey because I'm never like, oh, that was rude. I'm like, oh, wait, okay. A little bite to you. A little spice. Yeah, a little spice. Okay. Yeah, okay, I like that. Yeah. Okay. You don't agree? I don't know what to say about that. No comment. No comment. You got a no comment. No comment on that one.

Um, okay. So my next question is, have you been, I know you're a planner, but have you had your hand slapped for being late yet with this one? Am I ever late? No, I don't like, I'm not kidding you. Like if he's like, I'm going to be over at five 45, he's over like five 45. Like my doorbell will ring. Oh man. You guys are made for each other. Yeah.

I would say, yeah, no hand slappings yet. Yeah, no, he's been good about that. That's incredible. Okay, my turn. I'm sick of you guys asking each other questions. I have a game I want to play with you guys. With us two? Yeah. I want to see who knows me better. Oh. Oh. Because you lost last night. Barely. By like half a point. You still lost. I still lost. If Pete beats me in this, I'm going to be pissed. I can't let you win this.

Probably will. And then I, you know, that's. Oh.

So I'm going to ask you guys questions and you have to put it up. This is you on a stick. This is like a wedding shower. I should have wrote a maid of honor speech. It's cute. I know Brandon cut these or had his kids cut them. I don't know. And he's like, yeah, to cut the braid out and the earrings. I'm like, Brandon, I look like a boy. You look adorable. I love this picture. So we didn't want to like hurt people's ears with a buzzer. So just like keep them down and like lift them up. Okay. But I have...

I have questions. Are these questions fair? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, of course they are. Oh, these are the Q&A questions for... Oh, no, I feel like you're going to beat me in this. I mean, what should you do if he does beat you? I don't know. What are you going to do if I beat you? We're going to open another box. No.

We're going to what? Open up another box. Oh, yeah, yeah. You're going to have to train home to Connecticut tonight. Okay. We're going to start off very easy. Okay, ready? Okay.

I'm so worried about you, Alex, because it's just going to get harder. Okay. Now think before you flip. Okay.

Sorry, it's Rhode Island, but I'll give it to you because I... Yes, okay. Rhode Island is my favorite place, not Miami. In my head, I was thinking yesterday's question, favorite city. That's on me. Sorry, default point for this one right here. Yeah, we're not going to count that. Is anyone counting? You're winning by one now. Okay.

It's interrupting. Yes. And being late. That was the beginning of our fight the other night. Yeah, he was interrupting me. I interrupted her. I go, are you going to let me finish my thought? Ooh. I was like, you're just going to assume what I'm going to say next? How'd that go? Not well. It's interrupting, being late, and then people budge on airplanes. On what on airplanes? People budge on airplanes. Budge. Yeah, we've talked about this. Budge? Budge.

Stand up before it's yeah, that is the worst. Yeah. Okay last question I think if I get it right it's a tie because he's beating me by one. This is a nail-biter. Then we have to do a tiebreaker. Okay. We'll do a drinking game. No, just kidding. Okay, ready? What is my biggest fear? He did push up first. Let's get this wrong. Oh, good luck. Biggest fear. How about that?

Those were good questions. Weren't they good? Yes. Okay, so now we have a little audience Q&A. Oh my gosh, we do. Obviously you're going to read it. Why would I ever read them? Let's see. All right. Well, and tell you who wrote them. This is from my mother, and we already know it. But Jordan, how many frogs have you had to kiss to get to your prince? Oh, so many. Too many to count.

And a lot of ones that steal my money, who dragged me to the club, who were furniture. Furniture. And now by furniture, we mean he was just, you know, it's like always there. Yeah, he was just bored. Yeah. Or I was bored. And we never talked about a guy on a podcast except for furniture. And then I ran right into him in a line. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Well, we talked about the club rat too on a podcast, but...

Yeah, we did. That's right. Yeah. Okay. So we're not going to put a number on it. No. Okay. Jordan, what stuck out about Pete's hinge profile and or conversation that led to your interest? I think we know. Yeah. We talked about that. I just thought it was like, um, condescending. That was the right term. They were condescending answers. Yeah. Like they were just kind of like, Oh, okay. That's what you got next. Okay. So they left you interested. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I like that. Okay. Um,

Uh, is, well, this one's from Anna. It's a good one. Oh God. How long did you wait until you slept together? That's part one. Where is Anna? Part, part two is from Kelly. Conveniently. Anna's in the bathroom line. That's part one, part two. I'll just give you, so you don't have to give away all the details. Then I'm going to ask you, how was it? And then I'm gonna ask you, is it better now? So how long did you wait until you slept together? Date three.

Oh, I'm sorry. I'm assuming. No, we didn't. Remember it was, we slept together platonically on date three. Oh yeah. We didn't have sex on date three. Oh, I thought you were kidding. No. Oh, okay. Well, when did you, I was dead serious. Alex Bennett would have asked that then. Okay. So when was it? I think date four. Oh my God. Excuse me. Big difference. Okay. Date four. And then how was it?

It was good, but obviously it's gotten better. I'm so awkward. Okay. So it's gotten like significantly better. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Cute. Are you top of, I'm just kidding. Um, it's my bedtime. It's almost nine o'clock. Um, okay. This one's from Katie. She's like, I'm not. Okay. Um, okay. Oh, I, okay. Got it. I hadn't read it before this. I hate the apps. Please give me some hope and advice for navigating the swiping.

Okay. Your success story. I mean, I hated the apps too. I literally was like, I'm never going to meet somebody on the apps ever. And I feel like you just have to put the thought, like the stereotype around it. Like everyone's like, well, I don't want to say I like met somebody on app. So you have to, and you also can treat it like a job.

Like I was like on it every day. I was very intentional about it. You can't just like go on it every once in a while. You have to like very much so be prepared to go on it every day. Make sure you're responding to the people that message you. You also message people and like be intentional about who you're picking. Like I told you, my therapist was always like, if they don't have intentional prompts, they don't actually want to be on the app. That's a good point. And then don't just look at people's looks, which is hard because we're human and it's pictures of people, but you just have to be

Like very, just like very intentional. That's the best way I can think about it. But it was like a full-time job. Oh, so you have to like fully commit to it. Like, yeah. Like don't, don't halfway do it. No, you can't half-ass. You're not going to meet somebody on an app that's like a good person if you're half-assing it. Okay. So go all in. You got to go all in and put your ego aside. Oh, the ego aside is a good one on that. I feel like. Okay. I like that. Oh, best and worst pickup line. And do they work?

I feel like pickup lines are bad in general. So they don't work. So you're like, no, I know. And I, I've like, I feel like, no, I've never heard a pickup line where I'm like, wow, that was good. That was so good. But it makes you laugh, I guess. Okay. That's true. Like if a guy does it in like funny way, but I wouldn't like want to date somebody because of a pickup line. So not a cheesy one. Like you're like, they had to ask me like creative and funny. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Um, okay. Who's your favorite guest you've ever had on the pod and why? I think we both can answer that.

Okay. Mine was Girls Gotta Eat, Raina and Ashley. That is totally yours. Some button my skirt on accident. Oh, I like that. Mine is, it didn't air, but I've had it pod. Yeah, yeah. I love them. Jennifer and Pumps, they were great. That was so fun. Yeah, they were a blast. They were funny. We had to figure that out. Yeah, we could air it. We should figure out how to get that episode back. Let me get the IP. That's it. Yay! Done! Oh, that's it. She's wrapping it up. Yeah!

I'm sick of talking about myself. Thank you all for coming. We never really talk about how to end this properly, so we just kind of

Say goodbye. Oh, let me just say this. I'm so happy to see you so happy. Thank you. And I absolutely love Pete. I texted him this today. I'm like, you're the best addition. This was a group text, not like a weird side text. I was like, hey, Pete. No, but when you sent me his contact, I like went to program and add like the heart. And I was like, let me just like. I deleted the heart. It goes through the way. And the profile picture. So I was like, shut up.

Bro, duh. Like I know that. When you share contact with people, their like whole thing comes through. I got the blue heart and I got the profile picture. And so I just, I did some editing, but then I texted him. I said the best part of season two, the addition. I didn't know that that happened. Oh yeah. Okay. Apple needs to fix that because that could have been really inappropriate. It could have been like, what if you had someone's like, like a bad profile picture? Like what?

I don't know. I know. Yeah, I know. So be careful. Yeah. I think most people. I didn't know that. Well, I'm so happy to see you. So happy. Yay. Tomorrow for what's next for me, girl pod. That's right. We'll talk about chapter two. We have two more nights to go. We appreciate everybody coming tonight. One night to tomorrow is going to be what's next for us. And then night number four is going to be all about Alex hot seat. You're going to be in the hot seat.

So you better get ready. I will. Okay. Thanks, guys. Okay. Yay.
