First Dates

In this episode...

In this episode of "Afraid to Ask," Jamie and Dr. Erika discuss various topics, including their first meeting, the lingering impact of childhood memorization, and an awkward first date Jamie had in his teens. They explore the peculiarities of the human brain, the persistence of childhood memories, and the strange situations people find themselves in. The conversation takes unexpected turns, touching on neurobiology, fraternity experiences, and even a cringe-worthy first date involving a motorcycle ride and an unexpected burn. The hosts also delve into the pitfalls of buffets, the ruined joy of the olive bar, and the questionable hygiene practices at strip clubs. The episode ends with a sneak peek into the next installment, where Jamie recalls a funny story about fitness room confusion at a hotel.

Speaker:

let's not talk shit

Speaker:

I'm afraid to ask but I have a great question

Speaker:

I don't even know what I was gonna say

Speaker:

I'm so disturbed right now

Speaker:

we're back another episode of afraid to ask

Speaker:

so this is called

Speaker:

oh wow he's strong today

Speaker:

yeah uh well

Speaker:

do would you like to call it something else

Speaker:

haha I feel like I have this medical question that I

Speaker:

that doesn't have an answer oh

Speaker:

well then how it just doesn't have an answer

Speaker:

all morning

Speaker:

you've been singing this song called like

Speaker:

taste the biscuit or something

Speaker:

and it's I think it's a sexual song and you

Speaker:

and you can't and at first I was like oh

Speaker:

that's really cute

Speaker:

she's cute singing that song

Speaker:

and then only recently was I wondering

Speaker:

I wonder what the

Speaker:

what causes a song to be stuck in your head

Speaker:

I wonder we probably don't even know

Speaker:

I have absolutely no idea

Speaker:

you know what I think helps

Speaker:

an old woman singing about her pussy

Speaker:

wow right like that helps to get it stuck

Speaker:

if it was a start this one all over from scratch

Speaker:

I'm just saying

Speaker:

if it was a lady talking about knitting

Speaker:

probably would not be stuck in your head well

Speaker:

I was just telling you on

Speaker:

the drive today that neurobiology fascinates me right

Speaker:

what I think is interesting is stuff that's in my head

Speaker:

from like when I was in 5th grade

Speaker:

I can't get out

Speaker:

songs that I memorized to learn something yeah

Speaker:

like prepositions

Speaker:

for example

Speaker:

I could list them in alphabetical order

Speaker:

I'm gonna be honest with you at this moment

Speaker:

I'm not sure what a proposition is

Speaker:

can you give me

Speaker:

wait hold on

Speaker:

a prep is it

Speaker:

but a proposition

Speaker:

no shit preposition

Speaker:

I'm having a total

Speaker:

I know what a pronoun is because they're so annoying

Speaker:

oh those are

Speaker:

but here's the problem

Speaker:

who gives a fuck

Speaker:

I don't like that

Speaker:

it's in my head and I don't understand wow

Speaker:

critical things maybe that I need to do

Speaker:

nowadays as an adult

Speaker:

I have a right

Speaker:

but like I Learned that to like a little tune

Speaker:

so it's like stuck in there forever yes

Speaker:

that will never come in handy

Speaker:

it never did

Speaker:

even that you'll never get pulled over and they're like

Speaker:

if you've been drinking well

Speaker:

could you recite your propositions

Speaker:

is that was that what they are

Speaker:

propositions yeah

Speaker:

you just fire through and the guys like

Speaker:

get out of here

Speaker:

you were like

Speaker:

but is a proposition

Speaker:

I'm like no

Speaker:

it's not oh

Speaker:

that's right

Speaker:

you memorize a whole string but not

Speaker:

I was totally right and you shot me down

Speaker:

impractical bullshit

Speaker:

I have one of those from

Speaker:

yours is better cause it's from 5th grade

Speaker:

but I have from being in a fraternity

Speaker:

did you guys have to

Speaker:

were you in a sorority

Speaker:

I was in a sorority

Speaker:

I was in a fraternity

Speaker:

but I don't

Speaker:

I don't consider myself a fraternity boy

Speaker:

because we didn't have a frat house we didn't

Speaker:

but we had to my way to take a match

Speaker:

do you know what

Speaker:

do you know what hazing is

Speaker:

yes Greek alphabet

Speaker:

yeah yeah yeah

Speaker:

did you guys get hazed

Speaker:

girls were way better than boys at my school

Speaker:

but the the fraternity is hazed a bunch

Speaker:

do they uh huh

Speaker:

we right before I went to college

Speaker:

there was a horrible thing that happened where there

Speaker:

was like some hazing and people got kicked out

Speaker:

and so when I went

Speaker:

there was no hazing

Speaker:

yeah stupid

Speaker:

what's the point

Speaker:

but can you still do the Greek alphabet

Speaker:

cause I think I can

Speaker:

it's like alpha beta data

Speaker:

I love some data

Speaker:

Theta Iota capital mdumuse

Speaker:

I overcom Pyro Sigma Howie yeah

Speaker:

say which I was on

Speaker:

but around beneath beneath

Speaker:

beneath the data

Speaker:

but and yeah

Speaker:

but that's stuck in my head forever

Speaker:

I couldn't do with a match

Speaker:

hung up so stupid

Speaker:

don't I probably need

Speaker:

that part of my brain for something else

Speaker:

that's what I think

Speaker:

terrible with names

Speaker:

I don't have an answer for you

Speaker:

I think the brains

Speaker:

fascinating at every organ

Speaker:

we don't understand the most right yeah

Speaker:

but it crazily

Speaker:

I don't know

Speaker:

just dictates your day to day

Speaker:

yet the little stupid nuances

Speaker:

that we memorize

Speaker:

make absolutely no sense

Speaker:

you're right

Speaker:

so anyway I'm here with Doctor Erica

Speaker:

this is Jamie Lisso

Speaker:

and I wanted to start by saying

Speaker:

I have something that I'm a little bit afraid to ask

Speaker:

because you know me

Speaker:

I don't love

Speaker:

I have this problem where I don't love hearing about

Speaker:

I know you've dated other guys and stuff

Speaker:

I just thought

Speaker:

my favorite thing to hear about

Speaker:

but I had to ask this

Speaker:

because I saw this article

Speaker:

and this also has to do with a memory

Speaker:

that kind of showed up in my head this morning

Speaker:

I read this article about

Speaker:

you see this list going around

Speaker:

like a viral list

Speaker:

of places you shouldn't take women on first dates

Speaker:

no okay so I think

Speaker:

I'm asking you this

Speaker:

have you taken me on any

Speaker:

wait what do you think are

Speaker:

we have a very strange

Speaker:

way that we met

Speaker:

like first date

Speaker:

I don't know if you want even

Speaker:

what is the first we've

Speaker:

I don't think I've ever gone

Speaker:

I'm taking you to

Speaker:

wow I feel like a complete ass

Speaker:

or because it's funny

Speaker:

I would say

Speaker:

I think if it's on the list

Speaker:

what I would consider a really bad first date

Speaker:

yeah a hotel

Speaker:

cause it was that ours

Speaker:

yes we had to

Speaker:

that's so presumptuous

Speaker:

though it is

Speaker:

you're stripping away context though

Speaker:

this list just says

Speaker:

a list yeah

Speaker:

can condom ravers

Speaker:

is it women or men who

Speaker:

made the list

Speaker:

this is a bunch of people

Speaker:

oh no I'm sorry

Speaker:

this is a list of places ladies

Speaker:

would absolutely refuse to go on a first date

Speaker:

just to go back

Speaker:

I didn't say

Speaker:

meet me in my hotel room

Speaker:

I wanna say

Speaker:

it was a situation where it was

Speaker:

it made the most sense to

Speaker:

to kind of like

Speaker:

keep it slightly secretive

Speaker:

for a few different reasons

Speaker:

is that fair to say

Speaker:

I'm pretty sure I asked to go back to your hotel room

Speaker:

oh the first time

Speaker:

yeah I remember

Speaker:

just for context

Speaker:

we talked before I met you in person

Speaker:

we texted for six months

Speaker:

or something right

Speaker:

yeah months

Speaker:

maybe not six months

Speaker:

five months

Speaker:

lots of texting

Speaker:

got to know each other very well

Speaker:

and then you came out to a show of mine

Speaker:

and I remember

Speaker:

you showed up

Speaker:

it was a didn't

Speaker:

I didn't know you were coming

Speaker:

sign the front row

Speaker:

and I remember

Speaker:

I immediately thought

Speaker:

you say you see a gorgeous girl come to your show

Speaker:

that you've been texting with

Speaker:

I was on stage

Speaker:

when I saw you

Speaker:

so many things went through my head

Speaker:

what is she gonna come home with me

Speaker:

what does my place look like

Speaker:

is she would she have stayed

Speaker:

if it did like it

Speaker:

like I remember

Speaker:

I was to be single guy

Speaker:

I'm single guy

Speaker:

on the road

Speaker:

have I washed my balls

Speaker:

did that come across

Speaker:

were you thinking about that on stage

Speaker:

or were you

Speaker:

like shocked

Speaker:

it's the first time

Speaker:

in years I can remember being on stage

Speaker:

and just like

Speaker:

completely losing my train of thought

Speaker:

because the brain was like

Speaker:

there are more important things to do

Speaker:

I remember I lost my ability to recite

Speaker:

the Greek alphabet

Speaker:

at that moment

Speaker:

it dropped out

Speaker:

and I needed that brain power

Speaker:

for something else

Speaker:

because I remember thinking like

Speaker:

when I see you

Speaker:

in my mind I'm sorry

Speaker:

but my mind went

Speaker:

all these different places

Speaker:

where it was like

Speaker:

is she here as a friend

Speaker:

it what if she comes back

Speaker:

I think there's

Speaker:

two rotisserie chicken carcasses

Speaker:

in my condo

Speaker:

it was a it was

Speaker:

like a condo

Speaker:

a two bedroom condo hotel

Speaker:

that I was in

Speaker:

but I remember you said

Speaker:

you immediately said like

Speaker:

I just came to see you and I have a hotel

Speaker:

I was like oh

Speaker:

that's cool

Speaker:

and then you were like God

Speaker:

it's so shitty

Speaker:

and I was like oh

Speaker:

glimmer of hope

Speaker:

haha late at the end of the tunnel in your hotel

Speaker:

you were not just saying that your hotel was

Speaker:

it was sketchy as hell

Speaker:

it was one of the worst hotels I've ever seen

Speaker:

there were like punched out holes in the elevator

Speaker:

it's horrible yeah

Speaker:

yeah those are for me

Speaker:

when I realized I forgot condoms oh my god

Speaker:

it was very disgusting

Speaker:

I went to your hotel

Speaker:

I don't know

Speaker:

how that transpired

Speaker:

it's a nice hotel by the way

Speaker:

the type of hotel

Speaker:

wasn't like you went to a Super 8 or something Motel 6

Speaker:

this is a legitimate hotel

Speaker:

that I would have recommended to you

Speaker:

but one of those ones were just that one

Speaker:

they don't take care of it

Speaker:

your better

Speaker:

we went to your place near like

Speaker:

it's so bad

Speaker:

and then I said

Speaker:

remember I go hey

Speaker:

I got two bedrooms in my place

Speaker:

that was nice

Speaker:

yeah why don't you come

Speaker:

you can come stay

Speaker:

and I remember thinking like

Speaker:

thank God I have two bedrooms

Speaker:

and I was trying to think about a lock one of the doors

Speaker:

when you got there like oh

Speaker:

that's weird

Speaker:

this one doesn't even shoot

Speaker:

what do we do

Speaker:

but your place had

Speaker:

you're looking me just appalled

Speaker:

I just wow honestly

Speaker:

I was thinking

Speaker:

I was like hey

Speaker:

we'll just disagree

Speaker:

you were being a gentleman

Speaker:

I think you were surprised that I showed up

Speaker:

I don't think you were like let's get busy

Speaker:

no no that was cool

Speaker:

that's why I was trying to portray to you

Speaker:

when we went to your hotel room to get your stuff

Speaker:

it was the most disgusting hotel room I've ever seen

Speaker:

there was hair in the shower

Speaker:

and I hadn't taken a shower

Speaker:

you hadn't taken a shower yes

Speaker:

it was disgusting

Speaker:

I think there was other stuff

Speaker:

there's like

Speaker:

the cleaning rugs were still like on the counter yeah

Speaker:

but they hadn't cleaned anything there was disgusting

Speaker:

there's blood stains on the carpet

Speaker:

I remember when I saw those blood seeds I was like

Speaker:

Speaker:

so whoever murdered whoever

Speaker:

thank you very much oh

Speaker:

that probably is what happened Ew

Speaker:

so I take a woman on a murderer hotel first date

Speaker:

Speaker:

there's a lot of context behind that

Speaker:

it's not what it seems like that we did go to a hotel

Speaker:

but it's a lot there's a lot behind it

Speaker:

and maybe we'll get more to this story someday

Speaker:

but I thought this morning I'm laying in bed

Speaker:

scrolling through my phone

Speaker:

this viral article comes up about places

Speaker:

you've been taken to one or that would be the worst

Speaker:

that would be a bad one

Speaker:

am I still guessing or you just gonna tell me

Speaker:

I like guessing

Speaker:

I wanna see if I get in okay

Speaker:

would you like to hear a

Speaker:

a memory hits me this morning when I wake up

Speaker:

and I realize that I took a woman

Speaker:

a girl on maybe one of the worst first dates

Speaker:

just possible

Speaker:

just absolutely horrible

Speaker:

and there's also a medical relate

Speaker:

that happens at the end of the story

Speaker:

so when I was about when I was 14 years old

Speaker:

I got a job at Arby's

Speaker:

not trying to drop names brag

Speaker:

but I had a job very

Speaker:

very young at Arby's

Speaker:

and I would that's where we would meet

Speaker:

Speaker:

I worked there for a few years

Speaker:

Speaker:

how do you feel

Speaker:

what do you think when I say motorcycles

Speaker:

I like a guy

Speaker:

are you like ocean or not interested

Speaker:

Speaker:

Speaker:

my problem is I just think it's a death trap

Speaker:

so I go like medically like

Speaker:

oh you're a same your head

Speaker:

miss you in the er

Speaker:

and I've had to take care of people after that

Speaker:

I don't like yes

Speaker:

I think most people are like

Speaker:

yes let's go yeah

Speaker:

one of the best things about

Speaker:

driving a motorcycle is knowing how you're gonna die

Speaker:

oh right you ever see on the highway

Speaker:

here's my problem

Speaker:

so you got a motorcycle

Speaker:

no helmet I go

Speaker:

he's enjoying himself

Speaker:

he's in Arizona

Speaker:

I don't think there's a helmet law here

Speaker:

he's in Nevada

Speaker:

they love it

Speaker:

I don't know if that's true or not

Speaker:

I don't like when I see

Speaker:

a motorcycle go by

Speaker:

and he's got

Speaker:

one of those big Harleys

Speaker:

and he's got the big bags right

Speaker:

the saddle bags

Speaker:

he's got his wife on the back

Speaker:

he's got a fairing right

Speaker:

like a windshield

Speaker:

yeah yeah and he's got like a windshield

Speaker:

and I go hey

Speaker:

you know you know

Speaker:

you're trying to do

Speaker:

you're building a car sir

Speaker:

you trying to build a car around you

Speaker:

just buy a car

Speaker:

I don't like motorcycles

Speaker:

you know how

Speaker:

you drive shittier when there's a cop by you

Speaker:

uh huh I drive shittier when there's a motorcycle

Speaker:

cause I'm terrified that I'm gonna hit them

Speaker:

so I'm shittier

Speaker:

cause I'm like shaking

Speaker:

and I'm like pumping the brakes way more yeah

Speaker:

like to stay far away from them

Speaker:

and I'm so distracted

Speaker:

I don't notice any of the other cars

Speaker:

I just noticed the motorcycle in front of me

Speaker:

I do drive shitty

Speaker:

or when I see a cop

Speaker:

fucking hate it

Speaker:

do you think cops just think everyone drives shitty

Speaker:

do you think cops think that

Speaker:

everyone just slams on their brakes

Speaker:

all the time

Speaker:

cause we see a copy always

Speaker:

I'm sure they have like a name for it

Speaker:

like the Police Effect and they're like

Speaker:

oh look at that dumbass

Speaker:

they're going 2 miles an hour

Speaker:

I'll bet you right

Speaker:

I'll bet you right

Speaker:

so what happened was I had this motorcycle

Speaker:

and I'll tell you something

Speaker:

it was not expensive

Speaker:

we didn't have any money when I was a kid

Speaker:

I had to pay for it myself

Speaker:

I paid for with Arby's money

Speaker:

so that's how much

Speaker:

that's how expensive this motorcycle

Speaker:

you buy a motorcycle for a couple grand

Speaker:

older motorcycle

Speaker:

they used to call them Honda Davidson's

Speaker:

it would look like a Harley

Speaker:

but it was a

Speaker:

it was a Honda Magna

Speaker:

for all the motorcycle people out there

Speaker:

they're still alive

Speaker:

so I drive this motorcycle to Arby's and I go

Speaker:

there's this kind of cute girl

Speaker:

that started working there

Speaker:

I'm gonna ask her if she wants to go for a ride

Speaker:

on my motorcycle

Speaker:

how does that hit you

Speaker:

is that a good first date

Speaker:

like I feel like that's pretty good right

Speaker:

for a 16 year old

Speaker:

I think you nailed it

Speaker:

yeah you could have only sealed the deal better

Speaker:

if you offered her some surly fries or something

Speaker:

oh curly fries

Speaker:

yeah you say surly fries

Speaker:

I did that's like a variation of them that

Speaker:

it has an attitude

Speaker:

curly fries with an attitude

Speaker:

I was thinking of something else

Speaker:

surly fries

Speaker:

I think of a sauce

Speaker:

and Shirley Fry fuck off

Speaker:

I was thinking of the the horses

Speaker:

Shirley Fries

Speaker:

I got distracted

Speaker:

apparently I was painting this picture of you like

Speaker:

climbing into a motorcycle

Speaker:

curly fries with an attitude

Speaker:

surely try our Shirley Fries

Speaker:

so you know what

Speaker:

this girl I think she liked me

Speaker:

I got a feeling she likes me

Speaker:

and so I go and when I'm on the

Speaker:

I used to work the front register

Speaker:

we used to have a front register

Speaker:

we used to have drive through

Speaker:

and we'd have back line

Speaker:

back line reserve for those that were older

Speaker:

because you had to operate a slicer

Speaker:

so I never got to go back in the back line

Speaker:

I'm a front

Speaker:

so I walk up to him

Speaker:

I'm about to go hey

Speaker:

on our lunch break

Speaker:

maybe I take you for a ride on the motorcycle right

Speaker:

I'm about to say

Speaker:

hey we should

Speaker:

and the manager walks in he goes

Speaker:

anybody got a orange motorcycle

Speaker:

and I go I have an orange motorcycle hey

Speaker:

you're asking

Speaker:

he goes yeah

Speaker:

it fell it fell down

Speaker:

it's leaking gas all over the parking lot

Speaker:

I didn't realize that when you park on a hill

Speaker:

it can just like

Speaker:

the kickstand just goes up and it just rolls forward

Speaker:

and falls out to my brand new motorcycle

Speaker:

so it's already starting off

Speaker:

I'm embarrassed

Speaker:

like oh God

Speaker:

I gotta run out there

Speaker:

run out there

Speaker:

set up my motorcycle

Speaker:

I come back in

Speaker:

I go everything's fine with it

Speaker:

do I get enough gas

Speaker:

would you like to go for a ride on my motorcycle

Speaker:

on lunch she says

Speaker:

this might surprise you yes

Speaker:

I bring her outside

Speaker:

we go for a ride on the motorcycle

Speaker:

and it's good

Speaker:

and I'm gonna be

Speaker:

this might sound disgusting

Speaker:

but I have heard

Speaker:

that's disgusting

Speaker:

but just it might be on

Speaker:

this might be uneducated

Speaker:

I have heard

Speaker:

if you take a girlfriend on a motorcycle

Speaker:

it might there might be some excitement that happens no

Speaker:

not just because of what

Speaker:

because there's like vibrating and oh

Speaker:

for the girl uh huh

Speaker:

yeah okay okay

Speaker:

did not expect agreement there

Speaker:

surely fries

Speaker:

so I'm feeling pretty good

Speaker:

about this situation

Speaker:

and I'm taking her for a ride

Speaker:

and she's holding you know

Speaker:

that's a good date

Speaker:

because she's touching me

Speaker:

she's holding onto my waist right

Speaker:

this is good

Speaker:

I feel like we're going good

Speaker:

I'm taking her to all these you know

Speaker:

the most beautiful parts of Rochester

Speaker:

New York I can find

Speaker:

I take her down at the beach whatever

Speaker:

I come back

Speaker:

I drop her off and

Speaker:

she gets off the motorcycle

Speaker:

and hurriedly

Speaker:

walks away I go hey

Speaker:

how did the wait what

Speaker:

and she walks away

Speaker:

like pretty quickly

Speaker:

goes inside

Speaker:

the restaurant

Speaker:

and I don't know what happened or what I said

Speaker:

or if I did something

Speaker:

but I definitely got the feeling that like

Speaker:

something went horribly wrong

Speaker:

what happened was

Speaker:

on a motorcycle

Speaker:

there are exhaust pipes

Speaker:

on the outside of the motorcycle that are

Speaker:

hundreds of degrees right

Speaker:

like super super hot

Speaker:

and she's riding on the back of the motorcycle

Speaker:

and she burned

Speaker:

she singed oh

Speaker:

her leg so badly

Speaker:

and she was so polite that she didn't wanna say like oh

Speaker:

I messed up my

Speaker:

my leg like I mean

Speaker:

like a like a bit like a 3 inch burn

Speaker:

emergency room

Speaker:

no way yeah

Speaker:

emergency and like nothing horrible

Speaker:

did you take her to the emergency room no

Speaker:

she wouldn't

Speaker:

she didn't trust me

Speaker:

my vehicle anymore oh yeah

Speaker:

I guess that makes sense

Speaker:

I had to work on it

Speaker:

we need any

Speaker:

honest to God

Speaker:

they needed one of us to work

Speaker:

and then someone else took her to the emergency room

Speaker:

and it was like

Speaker:

that's a that's a pretty

Speaker:

it was a pretty rough burn

Speaker:

she's fine like it wasn't any lasting effects

Speaker:

but terrible first date

Speaker:

and I never talked

Speaker:

I never talked to her again

Speaker:

I think she quit or she stopped

Speaker:

started dating someone else yeah

Speaker:

that's my kind of shitty first date

Speaker:

you sent someone to the er

Speaker:

I know did you pay for her er visit

Speaker:

no I worked at Arby's

Speaker:

so did she how did she pay for it

Speaker:

guess how much money I made at Arby's

Speaker:

so I love this because I am 10 years older than Erica

Speaker:

so I feel like sometimes the age gap

Speaker:

I barely think about it

Speaker:

I would imagine it's all she thinks about

Speaker:

but sometimes there are things that are

Speaker:

are I think very um

Speaker:

so very different between that decade

Speaker:

and I would guess this is one of them

Speaker:

guess how much money I made at Arby's

Speaker:

after I got a raise

Speaker:

I remember getting a raise being like hell yeah

Speaker:

guess how much

Speaker:

four hours an hour shit

Speaker:

4:25 really

Speaker:

yeah I totally fucking pulled that out of nowhere

Speaker:

forget it wow

Speaker:

that sucked shit

Speaker:

cause this is minimum wage

Speaker:

not like $20

Speaker:

uh I think it's well

Speaker:

isn't it state based too

Speaker:

don't know cause like some states have raised it

Speaker:

to have higher standards

Speaker:

I don't think that they've like made it

Speaker:

a nationwide thing

Speaker:

I'd say like 18 something I keep seeing advertised

Speaker:

I think you're right

Speaker:

ours was three dollars and thirty five cents wow

Speaker:

and when you're a waiter or a waitress

Speaker:

it could be even lower

Speaker:

because they used to be able to take the tips

Speaker:

yeah average tips

Speaker:

and they said that was mess

Speaker:

I don't do that anymore

Speaker:

I don't think

Speaker:

I don't think

Speaker:

I don't know

Speaker:

I think they gotta give you

Speaker:

I think they stop doing that

Speaker:

hmm so I have a list of what women say

Speaker:

this list is making

Speaker:

its originally cemetery on it

Speaker:

of cemetery

Speaker:

feel like that

Speaker:

be like creepy people

Speaker:

and then a woman would be normal and she be like

Speaker:

Speaker:

Speaker:

not on here

Speaker:

that feels like not just worst date

Speaker:

but feels like I gotta worry about this guy right

Speaker:

Speaker:

how about there

Speaker:

somewhere with all their guy friends

Speaker:

like the man cave place

Speaker:

Speaker:

okay so with

Speaker:

not on here

Speaker:

Speaker:

where'd you get this list

Speaker:

I got it off the internet

Speaker:

it's making the rounds

Speaker:

as they say

Speaker:

it's gone viral

Speaker:

well I feel like they've missed three

Speaker:

very important ones no

Speaker:

those are very good

Speaker:

yours are very good

Speaker:

what's your um

Speaker:

so I'll hit you with a couple

Speaker:

Speaker:

worst one or just a random one

Speaker:

I'm gonna give you

Speaker:

I'm gonna give you top

Speaker:

I don't wanna give you number one yet okay

Speaker:

so a lot of them are restaurants

Speaker:

what so like

Speaker:

names of like

Speaker:

a lot of more like

Speaker:

don't go to this

Speaker:

all be in like one category

Speaker:

it should be

Speaker:

it should be don't

Speaker:

so she done my whole list

Speaker:

haven't you

Speaker:

a buffet Golden Corral No. 12

Speaker:

I'd be so mad

Speaker:

No. 12 if you took me

Speaker:

Sizzler

Speaker:

can I tell you something you did to me

Speaker:

Arby's do not after your date gets that

Speaker:

keep that name out of your mouth

Speaker:

Arby's holds a special place of my heart

Speaker:

it's not on here

Speaker:

Arby's is not on here

Speaker:

one date of yours

Speaker:

she would have added that to the list

Speaker:

but you know what you do as a

Speaker:

I love that you're a doctor

Speaker:

I love that I learn things

Speaker:

but there's one thing you do as a doctor

Speaker:

and sometimes when you're chatting with me

Speaker:

and that is you will offhandedly say something

Speaker:

and just fucking ruin something for me

Speaker:

I ruined something yeah

Speaker:

and one of them is you often

Speaker:

yeah basically

Speaker:

well more like the umbrella heading of buffets so what

Speaker:

oh I know where this is going

Speaker:

you like to like

Speaker:

I'll go hey

Speaker:

do you want some extra

Speaker:

some more alfalfa sprouts

Speaker:

and you're like no

Speaker:

do I want some more salmonellas on top of my salad

Speaker:

yeah you immediately go to what

Speaker:

what illness

Speaker:

or what disease could be caused by the thing

Speaker:

immediately

Speaker:

well medical school kind of ruined me

Speaker:

what do you get from what's

Speaker:

isn't alfalfa sprouts bad

Speaker:

alfalfa sprouts are bad

Speaker:

a lot of greens that you have a hard time washing are

Speaker:

those are hard to wash

Speaker:

would you think less of me if I told you that

Speaker:

only recently that I found out

Speaker:

you're supposed to wash stuff from Whole Foods

Speaker:

cause when I go in there

Speaker:

there's even a vegetable spray wash that's like

Speaker:

not soap and not chemicals

Speaker:

I don't know what the ingredients are

Speaker:

but it's like all natural

Speaker:

so it can remove the residue

Speaker:

I would use that

Speaker:

but I didn't know it was a thing

Speaker:

I didn't know we're supposed to

Speaker:

and I go to Whole Foods

Speaker:

and you know how you see the spray

Speaker:

I go out they did it

Speaker:

they did it for me

Speaker:

so I'd buy broccoli

Speaker:

I wouldn't even wash it for

Speaker:

until recently

Speaker:

you know what bothers me about that though

Speaker:

is how many people manhandle it in the grocery store

Speaker:

and they're like meow yes

Speaker:

and they put it back

Speaker:

so it's more so

Speaker:

that touch exposure or transportation experience

Speaker:

yes I'm a little offended about that

Speaker:

I think men and women handle vegetables

Speaker:

and you really just went right after men

Speaker:

men hate man handle though

Speaker:

I just like

Speaker:

you're putting that on us

Speaker:

you know person handle thanks

Speaker:

cause I feel like it's a double standard right

Speaker:

you say fire man

Speaker:

it's like hey

Speaker:

there are women

Speaker:

they're also firemen

Speaker:

I get it but then you go manhandle negative things

Speaker:

nobody gives a shit

Speaker:

like how you mansplain

Speaker:

what is it what

Speaker:

yeah I do I do that sometimes do I mansplain

Speaker:

I'm not that guilty of mansplaining I would guess no

Speaker:

uh huh no so like you

Speaker:

you don't do that that often

Speaker:

you ruined something that I would go to

Speaker:

every single time I'll go to New York City

Speaker:

when I go to New York City

Speaker:

creature habit

Speaker:

I go to Whole Foods

Speaker:

I get my stuff

Speaker:

I do whatever

Speaker:

and one day we're talking about Whole Foods

Speaker:

and you were just like

Speaker:

I think I think I was doing one of those like

Speaker:

hey take me through your trip at

Speaker:

we were a long distance relationship for a while

Speaker:

so we did like

Speaker:

I would go like

Speaker:

hey what do you do

Speaker:

your Whole Foods

Speaker:

take me through your Whole Foods trip

Speaker:

and we were very different on what

Speaker:

we would stop at Whole Foods

Speaker:

and I think you

Speaker:

before I even brought up that I like to go there

Speaker:

you brought up

Speaker:

you said somehow an olive bar

Speaker:

I did and you immediately were like

Speaker:

oh fuck you

Speaker:

I love that shit

Speaker:

and I was like

Speaker:

cause they're terrible

Speaker:

yeah and then you made me

Speaker:

you were just like

Speaker:

dead silent on the other side of the phone

Speaker:

dude wants my dad

Speaker:

so my dad told me once

Speaker:

I love to catch up as a kid

Speaker:

big fan of ketchup

Speaker:

isn't it where someone tells you something

Speaker:

like what you told me about the olive bar

Speaker:

I've never gone to the olive bar since never

Speaker:

I would never go

Speaker:

cause you told me like people eat stuff

Speaker:

they put it back and then put their hands in there

Speaker:

and they eat one

Speaker:

they'll dig out a handful and then just eat one

Speaker:

and then put the rest back

Speaker:

it's disgusting

Speaker:

it's so much better though than the

Speaker:

an olive in an olive bar

Speaker:

so much more delicious than an olive in a jar

Speaker:

I don't know if it's the bacteria

Speaker:

something makes it taste better

Speaker:

or glass thing over the buffet

Speaker:

sneeze guard

Speaker:

yeah right speaks for itself

Speaker:

I don't know if it's an effective

Speaker:

is it a sneeze guard

Speaker:

just like a loose fitting

Speaker:

all the nasty people that are like digging underneath

Speaker:

like oh I want that all over the back yeah

Speaker:

but you ruined it

Speaker:

sneeze and cough

Speaker:

I've not gone back okay

Speaker:

I didn't ruin it

Speaker:

I exposed it for its truth

Speaker:

you're right

Speaker:

you're right

Speaker:

I mean thank you

Speaker:

but fuck man

Speaker:

my dad once

Speaker:

I was putting ketchup on these home fries

Speaker:

at a restaurant

Speaker:

I loved ketchup at a restaurant

Speaker:

I just loved ketchup as a kid

Speaker:

I would just dump it on oh boy

Speaker:

and he goes

Speaker:

you know this one time

Speaker:

I was at a restaurant

Speaker:

and I look over and he goes

Speaker:

this guy takes that

Speaker:

it was that glass ketchup bottle

Speaker:

I don't know if they had that when you were growing up

Speaker:

that you guys have the glass Heinz

Speaker:

I wasn't born like five years ago

Speaker:

okay but anyway

Speaker:

we had the glass Heinz

Speaker:

ketchup bottle

Speaker:

and he told me he saw a guy

Speaker:

open it up ready

Speaker:

ready open it up

Speaker:

pour it on his own fries

Speaker:

lick around the top edge of it

Speaker:

and then recap and put it back

Speaker:

I thought you were gonna say he like dipped

Speaker:

you know how people would use the knife to like

Speaker:

get it to like

Speaker:

oh more and then lick the knife and put it back in

Speaker:

which is also equally you yeah

Speaker:

and I never had ketchup at a restaurant again

Speaker:

and so that's kind of what

Speaker:

you did for me

Speaker:

to me with the Olive Bar

Speaker:

so thank you

Speaker:

well so don't take me to a buffet ever

Speaker:

not just on a first date okay

Speaker:

I'm glad Gordon Golden Corral made it

Speaker:

I'm not a huge fan of the buffet in general

Speaker:

because I feel like

Speaker:

let's just have a little bit

Speaker:

a really good food

Speaker:

instead of a bunch of shitty food

Speaker:

and I think that

Speaker:

you should spend more money on good food

Speaker:

like say I need a white T-shirt

Speaker:

I'll go to the dollar store

Speaker:

I'll go to a discount place

Speaker:

I'm fine with that

Speaker:

but I feel like when it comes to food

Speaker:

you gotta be careful

Speaker:

I think it's probably people who have a life

Speaker:

like a lot of kids or something

Speaker:

cause everybody gets what they want

Speaker:

it's fun with kids

Speaker:

but you that's a very good point

Speaker:

uh you're absolutely right

Speaker:

a lot of times

Speaker:

instead of buying my kids food at a restaurant

Speaker:

I'll wipe my ass with the money

Speaker:

cause they don't need anything

Speaker:

a strip club

Speaker:

yeah is such a great guest

Speaker:

and I do not see it on here

Speaker:

I had someone take me to a strip club on a date

Speaker:

really which date

Speaker:

well it didn't go far after that

Speaker:

first not first

Speaker:

I was trying to be cool

Speaker:

so I'm like yeah

Speaker:

you wanna go

Speaker:

okay we can go

Speaker:

okay super awkward

Speaker:

so how many times did

Speaker:

both of us yeah

Speaker:

cause he's like

Speaker:

looking at them

Speaker:

but he's like

Speaker:

I probably shouldn't

Speaker:

so he's looking at me

Speaker:

cause he wants

Speaker:

you know like

Speaker:

doing it for this girl

Speaker:

I wanna go home with her

Speaker:

so I can't be obsessed with like

Speaker:

the other girls

Speaker:

but then I'm like

Speaker:

what do I look at

Speaker:

do I look at him

Speaker:

he's getting excited by other women

Speaker:

you're gross

Speaker:

I didn't I know where to look

Speaker:

I don't know what to do

Speaker:

coming up on the next episode of

Speaker:

afraid to ask

Speaker:

a lot of people are playing catch up

Speaker:

Speaker:

Speaker:
