So I'm like, oh, you're five minutes up. I'll just come there. He's like, no, no, no. This place sucks. Let's meet somewhere. I want to take you somewhere nicer. I go to the bathroom. We get the check. And I come back. And I text him. I'm like, hey, I'm just going to come to you. We can figure it out. Because in my mind, I'm thinking, wait, he's with a client. Let me go make this guy look good.

You know what I'm saying? I'll walk in and it'll be like, hi, I'm Brent. Yes, this is what he can pull. Because I'm so witty. So I get an Uber, go to the thing, I walk in, he's sitting on a date. And it's not even a regular date. It's like at the bar, the leg situation is like her legs are in, he's his leg, like the body length, and they're like on each other.

And I just walk up, his face fucking drops. And he was like, hi. And I was like, hi. And the girl's like, hi. And I'm just standing there. And she was like, how do you know each other? And I look at him and he looks at me like, please don't. And I just go, LinkedIn. LinkedIn from something. And then we have a very awkward conversation. And they order drinks. Okay. And I'm just standing there.

And then she basically is like, well, it was really nice to meet you. Like, she dismisses me. So I was like, okay, cool. And I was like, yeah, that's fine. I got to go anyhow. I was like. I lied. I was like, my security detail's outside anyhow. Like, what? I don't have security. And then I, like, walk out. I'm like, yeah, Jeff, where are you? I literally, like, dive out of the bar.

I, like, hide behind a car that's parked on Hudson. And I, like, hail a cab and I get in. And I was like, I fucking hate Ryan. I deleted the app. But he was on a date. Could you imagine? Here's the thing. Had I been like, oh, yeah, cool, let's just meet somewhere else or by my house in Gramercy or something, he would have showed up. I would have thought Brock was lovely and amazing.

I would have probably made out with him. And I would have been like, oh, my God, how was work? And he would have made up some fucking – and it just would have been a lie.

You know, men love vague options.

So weird.

So weird.

We don't get rid of leftovers. Like, we don't get rid of – you know, you make sure you are told – I mean, from a young age, go approach a woman. They like it. And that's hard to do. So you don't just say to someone, again, he could have handled this a different way.

Yeah, but why would you share your location? That's insane if you know you're on a date.

Well, it's a confidence thing. It's an ego thing. I don't think he envisioned you showing up to say hi to his client. To me, I don't think that's as crazy a move.
