00:00Well, Brendan has reached out to us today for the 7-15 second date update, and he's trying to get a hold of Katie.
00:05He could not. We did. We actually have her on hold right now.
00:09We want to bring her back on with us, and she has given us permission to talk to her on the air, so that's great.
00:15Let's talk to her real quick. Katie?
00:17Hi.
00:17Hey, Katie. I know that this has been a random phone call for you this morning, and you've been on hold.
00:22You're kind of going, like, what's going on here?
00:24But basically, we wanted to talk to you about a date you went on.
00:28Okay.
00:28Yeah, we know that you went out with Brendan.
00:32You guys, he told us that you guys went out for a lunch date on your first date, and then you guys hung out at the sale downtown and said that you guys really gelled and you were really getting along.
00:43But now he's trying to get in touch with you for another date, and you're not even responding to him anymore.
00:48So not really sure what happened on the date. Is there something you can explain to us?
00:53Well, the thing is, I mean, we had a good time.
00:57You know, he's a nice guy.
00:59It's kind of a lifestyle issue because, you know, the first time we went out, we had drinks, we had a great time, and that's what I like to do.
01:07And then, you know, now he's doing this dry January thing, and, you know, I mean, I like to go out and have adult drinks and let loose.
01:18And, you know, if he wants to do that, fine, but I'm not into that.
01:22I don't really see why he needs to, but I have very little time to go out and have fun, and I just want to go have drinks and chill and not worry about that.
01:30But did he say that you can't have drinks, too, or is it just him?
01:34No, of course not.
01:35I mean, but that would still be awkward.
01:37It's like, that's not really fun.
01:38I don't want to feel, like, guilty, you know, for enjoying myself and letting loose if I want to have a glass of wine or a martini.
01:45You know, it's just awkward.
01:47Well, January is only 31 days.
01:50I mean, you can't hold out 31 days.
01:52Well, not her.
01:53She doesn't even have to hold out.
01:55No, I'm just saying she can't deal with somebody that's doing something healthy for themselves for 31 days.
02:02I mean, he's already healthy, and, you know, he can do that if he wants.
02:06It's just that, you know, I want to continue my life as I enjoy it, and I want to go out with people who like to have drinks.
02:12Wow, I feel like there's so much other things that went right on these dates, and then this is the one hang-up, huh?
02:19Like I said, though, it's a lifestyle thing.
02:22It's like, I don't overdo it.
02:23I don't think he overdoes it.
02:24I just want to be able to enjoy it.
02:26You know, life is stressful enough.
02:28You can't do something else besides drink.
02:31I mean, there's so many other things that you can do.
02:33All right, well, here's the deal, Katie.
02:35We have Brendan on the phone with us.
02:37We want to bring him back on.
02:38Sounds like he lives a very crazy lifestyle.
02:40Now, we want to bring him on.
02:43Brendan.
02:45Hey, yeah.
02:46Hey, Katie.
02:47Yeah, I'm not asking you to not drink.
02:50I mean, we could go to the movies.
02:52We could go for a walk in the park.
02:54I mean, that's really nice, but I don't really want to go see a movie, and I don't really want to do, like, healthy activities.
03:01I mean, my whole life, you know, I'm working.
03:04I work out.
03:04I'm busy.
03:05I just want to enjoy some adult beverages in the evening when I have just a couple nights a week to hang out.
03:11That's what I feel like doing.
03:13And you could totally do that.
03:14I don't know why I have to.
03:17You know what I mean?
03:17Like, he's not.
03:21I mean, he doesn't say you can't.
03:23Like, again, I don't understand why it's a big deal if he doesn't and you do.
03:26It's just not as much fun that way.
03:28I mean, I'm going to go out.
03:29I was just going to say, is he not as much fun when he's not drinking?
03:33That's messed up.
03:34It's blunt, it is, but I mean, it's a question.
03:36I mean, I don't really know that yet, but, you know, maybe we could hang out in February.
03:41Or if you decide that to cut your dry January short, you know, I'm down.
03:46He falls off the window.
03:47Can you give me a call?
03:49Like, what is that?
03:50This guy is trying to be healthy and do something good.
03:54But he's healthy enough.
03:55I just kind of wanted to see if I could do a dry, not like, you know, I don't have a
04:00problem or anything, but I just, I don't know.
04:02I feel like it's good to take a break every once in a while.
04:05And I just don't understand why that would.
04:08All right.
04:09I mean, I guess.
04:09You're just getting peer pressure.
04:10Well, okay.
04:10I guess, I guess it comes down to this.
04:12If, uh, I hate putting you in the spot, but this obviously is a stipulation for her.
04:18So are you going to continue to stick with dry January or do you kind of want to see her
04:22again?
04:22Because that's what it kind of comes down to, I guess.
04:24This is ridiculous that you're asking that question.
04:26What are you going to do?
04:27That's what she said.
04:27Yeah, that's true.
04:28Yeah.
04:29If it's that big of a stipulation, I think I want to just continue on with dry January
04:33actually.
04:34Yeah.
04:34You might not want to date for January either.
04:39Give yourself a little reset on everything maybe, man.
04:41But this is, I don't think this is on you, obviously.
04:43This is something you chose to do.
04:44And, um, like she said, I guess it's a lifestyle thing for her.
04:48Yeah.
04:49I just didn't think that would be that big of a deal.
04:51So I kind of.
04:53She said cheers.
04:54I don't know that.
04:55She did.
04:55No problem.
04:57Some girls need to have their wine, JR.
04:59I mean.
05:00All right.
05:00Well, listen, uh, Brandon, I do not think obviously this is going to happen.
05:04Um, I think it's great that you're sticking to your guns and I wish you luck on dry January.
05:07Thank you so much.
05:09Katie, appreciate you coming on with us.
05:11And I hope you continue to have a great time when you go out.
05:14Yeah.
05:15I will.
05:16All right.
05:16You guys have a great day.
05:18Yeah, you too.
05:19Yeah, you too.
05:20I mean, that was ridiculous.
05:22Who cares?
05:23You and I hang out and I don't drink and you drink.
05:25It's like, hey, you got a DD.
05:27Right.
05:27Absolutely.
05:28I mean, you do have that.
05:29But I mean, I think I'm trying to understand where she's coming from.
05:32I mean, she wants to do things that are maybe more fun and more, you know, like, does that
05:40make sense?
05:40I mean, if the guy has a bump on a log and sitting in the corner while you're trying to
05:43have fun, that's one thing.
05:45But I don't think alcohol should be the dependency of if you're going to go out with somebody or
05:49not.
05:49Right.
05:49But I think what happened was when they went on that second date, he wasn't drinking
05:54and she's like, oh, he's not as much fun as when he is drinking.
