0

207.978 - 221.84 Troy

A little direct, a little bit over-eager if you ask me, but that's okay. It was a coffee. It was a coffee. I apologize. Yeah, that's fine. We heard from your email that you met somebody on one of the niche dating apps. Yeah, Larissa.

0

222.241 - 223.763 Jeffrey

Larissa, what's that one about?

Brooke's pretending like she hasn't been on it.

She definitely has.

255.346 - 256.728 Troy

Is this the Bacon Lovers one?

Chapter 6: What did Larissa think about Troy's Game of Thrones spoilers?

256.889 - 269.926 Troy

Yeah. Oh, that'd be funny. I like that. Yeah. It's the Bacon Dating app. Really? That's why I know it. Wait, Jose, you've heard of this? Yeah. I think we talked about it on the show before. Sizzle. I've heard it. I don't know it, but I swear I've heard it.

269.966 - 270.066 Jeffrey

Same.

0

270.086 - 271.728 Troy

For Bacon Lovers, huh?

0

Chapter 7: How did Troy react to Larissa's feedback after the date?

271.909 - 292.687 Troy

For Bacon Lovers, yeah. And, like, I've tried all the regular ones, you know? Right. I was talking to one of my friends, and... He was saying that there's like surprisingly cute girls on sizzle. And at first I hadn't heard of this. Yeah. So I joined it and there are cute girls on there. And you know instantly that if they order a salad only at dinner, then they're a catfish, right? Big trouble.

0

292.867 - 299.395 Troy

Big trouble. Yeah. Okay. So you said the girl that you met, her name is Larissa. What brought you two together?

0

Chapter 8: Will Troy get a second chance with Larissa?

299.695 - 317.532 Troy

Obviously you start talking about bacon, right? I think that was like the way to break the ice. And that's a good talk because you can say, hey, do you like floppy bacon? Do you like crispy bacon? And immediately you're having a combo. You just meet us on the chart one through ten. What's your bacon? You're not really breaking the ice. You're breaking the grease, if anything, on this side.

0

317.552 - 325.19 Troy

That's true. Well, the thing is, I'm a crispy bacon fan. I don't like floppy. Yeah, floppy's no good. What? Floppy's great.

0

325.21 - 325.731 Brooke

I like it all.

0

325.751 - 330.861 Troy

I love a good floppy one followed by a black and crispy ashy one.

0

330.941 - 334.929 Brooke

Okay. This bacon topic is really dangerous. Sorry.

334.949 - 346.779 Troy

So let's try and focus, though, on Larissa about what you liked about her and her personality. Well, she's bright, she's bubbly, she's cute. We hit it off talking, right? So I find a place that serves breakfast for dinner.

346.799 - 351.423 Jeffrey

Oh, that's cute. I mean, it's called IHOP, right?

351.623 - 372.511 Troy

Well, here's the thing. We're bacon aficionados. I want to pick a place that has that, too. So they had two different kinds of bacon. They had regular and peppered bacon. Oh, my gosh. Those places that'll say, like, we cut our own bacon and season it. I love those diners. Okay. Wow. So, I mean, you show up, and what is that like? We were definitely having fun.

372.531 - 387.234 Troy

It felt like we were having, like, brunch at 6 p.m. Yeah. Because that was literally what was happening. Pretty much it. Yeah. We were talking about other things other than Bacon, too. We talked about favorite TV shows, like hers is American Idol.
