do you want to talk about today? Because I have an idea If you
don't have one bit, well,well, I don't know what what to

(02:00):
all the things that drive me crazy? What could we possibly talk about?
Well, I'm just going to talkabout the good thing I did when I
took you on a date and Itook Yeah, that didn't drive me crazy,
though, I don't know if wecan put that in there was Yeah
we can. I mean we canstill talk about it because I took you
on a date last night. Youtook me on a date. It was
a very nice surprise. It tookme to dinner, at my favorite burger

(02:22):
joint, which I didn't even knowit is your favorite burger joint. Because
here's how it started. I lastFriday, I called you and I said,
what's the plan for tonight? Andyou said nothing. I said,
I'm taking you on a date andyou went okay, And I said what
do you want to eat? Andyou went, well, that's the point
of view taking me on it.I don't have to plan this like I
plan all the things, like areyou taking me on a date? You

(02:43):
plan the date. So then Ipanicked and I was like, oh shit,
what is he? What do Ido? What do I get to
do this before? Well? Andit's hard because I was a vegetarian for
ten years and I like weird hippiefood and you are a meat and potatoes
guy, absolutely, and I knewI couldn't go wrong with burgers. So
I just literally said, googled bestburgers in Birmingham. Akes. I mean,
there's a reason that my mistake.Daddy. Yeah, but I wasn't

(03:05):
going to take you for freaking fiftydollars. Stay, we're going to pay
this expensive day. He's so whatshe's saying is I'm a cheap day.
No, but you know what,I still ended up spending one hundred dollars
on our date that night, andI was like, damn, dates are
expensive, no kidding, And thatwas a cheap welcome to the guys world.
And that was like burgers in amovie the end. I know,
by the way, were you gladI picked a movie? Because so we

(03:28):
went to see what is it?Kong? Not versus god was Kong and
Godzilla? Godzilla and Kong the newyou know monarch movie. Yeah, with
the Little King Kong, which reallywasn't a Little King Kong. Everybody was
like, oh, it's Baby Kongand all the trailers and it's not Baby
Kong. It's not Kong's baby.Spoiler alert if you're a fan, sorry,

(03:51):
that's not Kong's child. But thatwas that I did that because you
got me into all the King Kongand Godzilla movies a few months ago.
So that came out and I waslike, I'm gonna surprise him and take
them there and then the burgers.But yeah, I'm so glad when we
started dating that you had the AppleTV stuff because that was the only place
that you could get the uh monarch, the monarch legacy of monsters or thing

(04:15):
I gotta finish that you watched thelast time finished it because you watched the
last three or four episodes ahead ofme. But can I fall sleep as
soon as the TV turns? Anotherthing that drives me crazy. It's like
we go to the movies, whenI pay for the movies and she falls
asleep in the theater. These arethe most expensive naps I have ever had.

(04:38):
We've only been to the movies twice. Okay, we went to walk
fifty percent of the time, youfall asleep. I did the ones that
I paid for. You you sleepthrough the ones that you paid for.
You were actually like, hey,I'm going to watch this one. I'm
invested. I picked the early movieso that I wouldn't fall asleep because Fridays
I'm exhausted because I'm waiting. Wewent to the in the morning, Mattenee

(04:58):
at eleven thirty in the morning,so it was a very early date.
I had burgers at nine in themorning, and now you did. We
left the house before just so thatshe could stay awake through it. Let
me get my point out, We'regoing to kill each other after like four
episodes in this podcast, I'll bedone it'll be the end of the podcast.
Well, so I was like teachingproducer Blake, the other Blake in

(05:21):
my life today, like how tospider topic off of topics for a radio
show to get listeners to call.And so we were spider top of king
our date where I took you ona date, and one of the things
that came up, and I'm like, oh, I wish we would have
thought about this to get people tocall in. So I'll ask you,
it's very hard to plan a datefor somebody else, and I can imagine

(05:43):
that for a guy. It's verydifficult planning a date for a girl.
Yeah, what is the perfect datefor a man? Because that's how I
was trying to think when I hadto pick dinner for you. Already knew
the movie was fine because you yeah, because we've been talking about it.
Yeah, and you said you hadthis movie wasn't out yet, so and
you said you hadn't been to themovies in forever and that was your thing.

(06:03):
So I knew the movies was fine. And then the burger. But
what's the perfect mandate? Like ifyou could pick, if I could pay
out, what time of year isit? I don't care just pick one
football season? Is it hunting season? Is it? Guy? There are
lots of things. This is whatwe'd girl being a girl. I'm trying
to the season explain to you whatit's like being a guy. When You're

(06:24):
like, take me on a nicedate and I'm like, well, I
got to figure out, you knowwhat time of year it is, because
that's going to determine how you're gonnadress for where we're going. Oh God,
we're going to go somewhere. Whereis it going to be cold inside
like the movies? And I'm gonnahave to bring an extra blanket in the
middle of July. Do you needto tell me to wear heels? Or
I need to tell you to wearheels? Are tennis shoes? You to

(06:44):
dress casual? You did? Youdid very well? Thank you? Oh
no, what what's a great datefor? It would be your perfect date?
Like where it would be the greatestplace for me for a girl to
take you, like for you togo on, not to take me on.
Oh if you're taking me on adate, yes, oh h good
steak or you know you know somelonghorn said dinner, Okay, dinner because

(07:10):
you know it's not a lie whenthey say, you know, the easiest,
quickest way to a man's hearts throughhis stomach. This is true.
Feed us and we will love youforever. Oh, by the way,
can I say why I call yousteak Daddy? Yes, because I was
a vegetarian for two for ten years, and Blake we went on a date.
It was one of our first dates, and you ordered steak at a

(07:30):
seafood place and they didn't cook itright. You sent it back, and
they brought it back a second timeand it was still wrong, so you
sent it back. Well, itwasn't just the steak. I mean I
also ordered a salad for with mysteak, and the salad came out with
the cheese melted on the lettuce.So then my food was great. So
then we went to still right,it's not like it's not just that I

(07:53):
ordered a steak in a seafood restaurant. Everything was wrong. Your meal was
wrong. My meal was fine.So then we went to the grocery store
and you had to You bought asteak and you cooked it for yourself at
my house. After this, right, I said, damn it, I'm
having a steak tonight. I don'twant I said, take the steak off
the ticket. I don't want it. Stop bringing me out bad steaks.

(08:13):
And at the same time, Iwas on this ridiculous diet that we were
all doing at work. It wasso bad, which had starved us like
I was starving. So anyway,that steak that you made smelled good.
So I thought about that steak forlike two weeks and drooled every time I
thought about it. And so Iasked Blake to make me my first steak
in ten years, and you did, and I ate it and I loved

(08:33):
it. So you will forever beknown as steak Daddy for making my first
steak. That was the perfect datewhen you cooked, when I came over
and cooked for you and a towelin my kitchen. Hey, okay,
So anyway, I said, that'sthe perfect day you come kicking so for
you, like I came over,I cooked your dinner, I brought dessert.

(08:54):
I had wine. Oh yeah,you brought cheesecake and one. I
brought your favorite dessert to go,just in case you didn't like to stay
do that anymore. I'm tired.You got the cow for free, don't
need to buy the We're not goingthat far with it. I'd like it,
so anyway, steak dinner, perfectdate. Sorry for that little side

(09:18):
nugget. Yeah, rabbit trails,Oh, perfect date. Let's see dinner.
You know, whatever the guy's ingun range you'd like for you would
be gun range, which is alsoa date we've gone on before that you've
taken me on. Yeah, butI've got one at the house, so
I don't need to go on adate there. Okay, Well, then
what would be a perfect date.I'm a bourbon fan, so it would

(09:41):
probably somewhere you get a nice cocktail. Get me to take you to a
bourbon bar the next time I surpriseyou. Yeah, that'd be great.
The lady that called the show whenwe were talking about this the other day,
she goes, don't do it allthe time. Don't like, you
can't do it, you can onlydo like. Don't take your guy on
dates too often, or they'll getused to this and they'll take advantage.

(10:03):
Guys, don't take your girl outon dates too often, or they'll expect
it all the time and you'll bebroke forever. But that's Oh, I'm
gonna bite myself. I'm kicking myselfin the food for saying this. Later,
but at your job to take thegirls on the date. The guys
to woo the girl. You havebeen sufficiently wooed. You don't know that?

(10:24):
Are you my girlfriend? I'm yourgirlfriend right married? Yet No we're
not. It's only because I haven'tasked. You still got some wooman to
do. Woo woo. We're goingin this now. Uh okay. So
here's the thing about the date though. So I took you on the date
and then you were like, didyou think that I did something bad?

(10:45):
Yes, really I did, becausethat was the initial I was like,
what is No, it wasn't thatI thought that you had done something bad?
Is that I thought that you weregoing to say that you had finally
found the kangaroo or the zebra orthe goats or the whatever it is that
you go by, and it wasgoing to be at the house when we
got back. That was why youwere trying to take me out of the

(11:05):
house at that you know, thatearly, because you were having something delivered
at the close of business. BecauseI do follow all of them, a
farm auction and cattle things, andthere's a zebra f auction, a couple
constant at the house. Oh I'mgoing to get a miniature Highland cow.
I'm like, no, you're not. We have three dogs, two cats,
seven chickens, four ducks, andfive of those animals live in the

(11:28):
house. Yeah that's true. Ohyeah, I never thought of it that
way. You can tell one ofus is bothered by it. Can I
say the thing you said at theend of the day, that is still
my favorite thing forever. I toldthis to me mom, my grandmother that
raised me, and she cackled.I said, I We called her and

(11:48):
I said, Blake at the endof our day said, just because you
paid for it doesn't mean I'm gonnaput out That's right. Yeah, you
wouldn't let me open the door foryou either. No, you're not open
it. Just because you're taking meon a date doesn't mean that I'm gonna
be like this passenger princess for you. Okay, it could have been my

(12:09):
passenger princess. Will you let mepay for it? Oh yeah, I'll
let you do that, But you'renot opening the door. I'm still gonna
open the door. I'm going toopen the door for you. I don't
care who's paying for the date.I'm gonna let you know. Ladies first
all this. You know, Yeah, you did do that. And you
did like make me stand on thenot on the side of the road when

(12:30):
we were walking on the sidewalk.I like that you do that. You
know, chivalry is still chivalry.You know you still do what's supposed to
be done. Doesn't matter who's payingfor what at the particular time. You
are antil your boyfriend. I didn'tall of a sudden become your girlfriend for
the day. That's true. Youdo do. This is what I love
about you. You do open everydoor for me, and even if I'm
driving, you will still remember howto open doors. At this point,

(12:54):
I'm not sure you will still openthe driver's side door for me. You'll
open the house door like you.And if I go to know because I
try to open the door for myselfand you get mad at me, and
you because you hurt yourself. AmI going to hurt myself? If you
fell down walking through the house theother day and almost dislocated four different joints.
