Chapter 1: What fear did the guest confront on her date?
Okay, I will admit I was a little judgy today in the second date update.
Just today, huh?
But seriously, what is she thinking?
I really like your new comment, quote, waste your pretty. I'm going to start using that for that one.
Don't waste your pretty.
I've heard that.
Oh, God, I use that all the time. Don't waste your pretty.
All right.
You'll understand what's going on here in a second because we got a brand new episode for you. But first, comments.

Chapter 2: Why did the first date almost not happen?
Are you ready to shock Jeffrey? Yes.
My whole world is about to be rocked. What is it that made you or who is it that made you get on the app? Yeah.
I've just been trying to get myself back out there. I've been in a few relationships that didn't work out recently, and so I'm just trying to get my confidence back up. I don't really assume I'm going to fall in love immediately, but, you know.
Okay, that feels normal. You're what they say, like, going through the motions. Just to, like, get back in. You're like, let's go on a date. Let's see what happens. I don't know.
That confidence thing, are you just waiting for enough compliments to come through before the confidence kicks in? Yeah.
Yeah.
Exactly.
Okay. So did it work? Were you able to grab some confidence from somewhere?
I mean, I did end up matching with this guy named Matthew on Hinge. Okay. All right. So I was feeling good about that. And he had some really cute photos. He was kind of nerdy, cute look. He's wearing glasses. Like, I was into it. All right. What did you do for your date? See, here's the thing. So the first date almost never happened, basically.

Chapter 3: What phobia did the guest reveal about escalators?
Hopefully we'll find out what's really going on when we call Matthew and try to escalate this to a second date.
Okay.
I did it. Okay.
One and done. No more.
I have one too. No more puns as we continue for your second date update right after this. Hold on. Second date update. If you'd never heard this story before and I told you a young woman sat on an escalator step holding her date's hand with her eyes shut tight, you'd probably think, huh, someone's about to get arrested here soon.
Yeah. But why? Why arrested?
I'm not going to explain it, but luckily that was not the case here. Our listener Jamie has an escalator phobia, but she beat it going to a happy hour with her date Matthew, and together they bonded over JetBlue Airlines, of all things. Yeah. You don't hear that one a lot on the first dates. I'm more of a Delta guy myself, Jeff.
Yeah. I feel like she's just dropping it in case something goes somewhere and they can get sponsored and a trip taken.
And they do have nice planes, I would say. That's good looking out. It's not dumb. Smart, but it did bond them, and Matthew even asked her out again at the very end of the night. Yeah, great sign. Thing is, there's been no follow-through since, so Jamie has now turned to us asking if we can get involved.

Chapter 4: How did the date help the guest overcome her fear?
I was having a pretty good time with her. Like, I was, like, 100% in, like, on wanting to hang out again.
Okay. So when you asked her out at the end of the date, you were being sincere?
Yeah, yeah. Like, she was cool. It was a good time. You know, the drinks were good there.
That was your highlight. The drinks were good there. You know. He was into it.
Okay.
So what happened?
Yeah, something must have changed since then. Well, it was the comment.
The comment?
What comment?

Chapter 5: What was the highlight of the date for the guest?
Oh, God. She basically says the 80-year-old broke up with her so he could find someone who lives closer to him.
What? Wait, she got dumped by the senior?
Exactly.
Oh, my goodness. What is going on?
Good for that 80-year-old for having standards.
I mean, it makes you feel better she wasn't living in the same city as him, so maybe she didn't see him.
I didn't get the impression of the same city. I've got the impression, like, she's three blocks away, and that's too far for his hips. You can't walk that distance. He needs a caretaker. Yeah.
Why on earth would she be in a relationship with an 80-year-old man?
That's a lot.
