00:007.15 second date update. It's a bar that Lana and I both love and both been to, but Cole was not feeling it, and it was Riverview.
00:06Yeah, and I mean, he was, what, too bougie for this place. Usually it's the other way around.
00:12Yeah, I would have liked this. She was down. I thought she was very laid back, but here's what Cole had to say.
00:16Well, Cole, we feel like, did all the right things for the first date he had with Taylor.
00:21It's a 7.15 second date update right now. You asked, did he pay for the bill?
00:25Cole, I said, that's kind of cool that you drove down to Riverview where she lives and said, hey, I don't want you to have to drive. I'll come to you. I thought that was nice of him.
00:32Absolutely. So, and he was like smitten with her saying that she was prettier in real life than she was in her pictures.
00:38It's always a good thing.
00:39Yeah.
00:39All right, so we are going to try to call Taylor right now and see if we can figure out what's going on.
00:55Hello?
01:01Hi, is this Taylor?
01:03It is.
01:04Hey, Taylor, happy Friday to you.
01:06This is J.R., Lana, and Kevin over here at 99.5 QIK. How are you doing?
01:13I'm sorry, who is this?
01:15This is 99.5 QIK. It's Tampa Bay's morning crew.
01:20Oh, like, oh, like the radio?
01:23That's us.
01:23Mm-hmm. Good morning.
01:25Yeah, I know. It's super random.
01:27We want to see if you have a couple minutes, actually, Taylor.
01:29Would it be cool if we asked you a couple questions on the air?
01:32And I will tell you, it is about a date you recently went on.
01:35It's a lot, for sure, but just a couple questions.
01:39Yeah, I guess.
01:41Okay.
01:42Well, I appreciate that. We'll try to make it quick for you.
01:44We wanted to ask you about this guy, Cole. I guess you guys met online.
01:47He said he came down to Riverview.
01:49You guys met up for a drink.
01:51He said that you were even prettier in person than in your pictures.
01:55And then also said that, you know, you carried a conversation really well.
02:00And you just had a really good time with you and thought things went really smoothly.
02:04But now he's trying to figure out what's happening because he wants to see you again.
02:09Really?
02:10Yes.
02:11I mean, I think he's reached out to you.
02:13That's interesting because Cole, like, complained the entire time he was with me this whole day.
02:23What was he complaining about?
02:25Well, so he offered to drive down to Riverview, where I live, which is great and nice.
02:31And he said he wanted to do something casual.
02:33So I was like, OK, cool.
02:35Why don't we go to the beer shed?
02:38Oh, that's interesting.
02:40The beer shed.
02:41That is casual, but awesome.
02:42I love that.
02:44Yeah.
02:44I mean, it's fun, right?
02:45Sure.
02:46It's local.
02:47It's like, you know, it's like one of those places where, like, you know, a bra might be hanging from the ceiling, but it's not.
02:52There's no bras.
02:54So, you know, we have, like, a drink.
02:56And then he's like, OK, where are we going next?
02:58And I was like, oh, and then I thought he was like, you know, I was like, what are we going to do?
03:03And he's like, oh, I thought this was like a joke.
03:04And then we'd, like, really go somewhere else.
03:07And I was like, well, this is no, let's stay here.
03:10This is what we agreed to do.
03:13And then it's just like, he just complained about everything.
03:16He's like, oh, the bathroom's dirty or, like, this beer is not very cold.
03:19And it was just like, I got to the point where I was like, why do you, I felt like the dude, and he was, like, this prissy woman.
03:28He's weird.
03:31Well, I mean, I think we need to kind of explain, like, the beer shed.
03:35So, I know that doesn't understand.
03:36It's more of a dive bar.
03:38It's right on the river.
03:39There's not, like, a parking lot and nice lighting and stuff like that.
03:42It's a good hang.
03:43You're on the river.
03:44Yeah, I've been there.
03:44I've hung out there.
03:45There's live music there sometimes.
03:47I've ridden my motorcycle down there.
03:48It's been great.
03:49Yeah, it's, it's, it's.
03:50Yeah, so burgers.
03:52What?
03:53Chicken fingers.
03:53What?
03:54Cold beer.
03:55What?
03:55All kinds of stuff.
03:57It's a great dive bar to go to, yes.
03:58I felt chill.
03:59We wanted something chill, and I was like, well, that's the chillest we're going to get.
04:03Well, here's the deal.
04:04I love that place, so the fact that he's, you know, complaining about it, I don't really
04:08see a problem.
04:08But I do have Cole on the phone, Taylor, and I want to bring him back on.
04:12Sorry.
04:13What?
04:14Oh.
04:15Cole, you there?
04:16What?
04:17Yeah, I'm here.
04:18Cole.
04:19So, Taylor just told us about you kind of complaining and not being cool with the beer
04:24shed.
04:25Sorry to tell you that we're all fans of the beer shed, but does that kind of sound accurate
04:29that you were, you thought this was a joke that you were going there?
04:32Well, I mean, it was fine, but, you know, I showed up and, you know, I was dressed for
04:36the first date.
04:37You know, I had a nice shirt on, my best pair of jeans, you know, nice shoes.
04:41And I get in there and it's kind of like a divey biker bar, which is fine.
04:47It's cool.
04:47It's just for our first date, it just kind of ended up feeling out of place, if that
04:51makes sense.
04:52I mean, look, you put that pressure on yourself.
04:55It's not like I was like, hey, there's a dress code, right?
04:58Like, I didn't really care about that, all that stuff.
05:01Like, I just wanted to get to know you.
05:03Like, that's the kind of person I am.
05:04I don't need, you know, fancy cars, fancy clothes, all that.
05:07So, like, also, who cares what you wear to the beer shed?
05:10Like, seriously.
05:11Yeah, it doesn't matter.
05:12If anything.
05:12Like, sometimes they don't wear it.
05:16No, they do.
05:18Cam is like, we got to go.
05:20Cool.
05:21But, I mean, Taylor seems very laid back.
05:23And that was the thing that you liked about her, is that she was casual.
05:25She was easy to talk to and all that.
05:27So, I feel like who cares about the place?
05:29It's a good conversation.
05:30And you're calling us for another date.
05:32Yeah.
05:33So, what's the problem?
05:34Like I said, it's kind of, I wanted to go, you know, take her out to a nice meal.
05:38That's kind of still what my goal is here, is like, you know, that place was, you
05:41know, cool and we met and whatever.
05:43But now I'd like to go on, you know, an actual date, not just to some dive bar.
05:48Honestly, I'm sorry.
05:49I just need to maybe date somebody that's a little more masculine than I am.
05:54I mean, you sounded like a South Tampa chick, to be honest.
05:59Exactly what that sounds like.
06:01Wow.
06:02Okay.
06:03Well, yeah, maybe you just want to spend the rest of your life down at the beer shed.
06:06That's fine.
06:07I think it's awesome that she, like, still go hang out there.
06:10I don't think a lot of chicks really want to go there.
06:13Oh, I mean, finding a low-maintenance person is a great thing, I feel like.
06:16Yeah.
06:16Now you can go, because all you can do is go up, so.
06:19Well, let's not be disrespectful to the beer shed.
06:22No, I don't like it.
06:23All right.
06:23That is an establishment that we all love.
06:25I like it.
06:26I have a great time there.
06:27I wear a tux there, for crying out loud.
06:28But yeah, cool.
06:29I mean, someone who's, like, doesn't worry about all, like, these fancy things and whatnot,
06:33I mean, isn't that a good thing?
06:34She basically just called me a woman, so.
06:40It should be an insult, first of all.
06:42It's not an insult.
06:43Well, no, it's not an insult, but whatever.
06:46I'm trying to go out on a first date, and I'm worrying about freaking getting gunk all over me
06:51at the freaking sticky seats and sticky bar.
06:54The whole place was just sticky.
06:55It's just, I don't know.
06:57Taylor, would you be interested in going on another date to a fancier place?
07:00Maybe you have Cole's choice.
07:01Um, I think that's a hard path.
07:05All right.
07:06Not see that coming.
07:07Well, listen, Cole, it just sounds like you're looking for a different type of person than
07:11Taylor is, which is totally fine.
07:13You guys are just kind of looking for different things.
07:15So, I'm sorry we couldn't make a second date happen, but we did get some answers.
07:18Taylor, thank you for coming on as well, and I hope you guys have a great day and a
