Second Date Update: Granny Approved

at the retirement calling us back because she's using rotary phones? Yes, Mark, what are we doing? Are we calling gladys now? Or do we have to wait until her midday nap is done? All right, listen, listen. It's actually not a resident at the senior home. You didn't say that in your email because she kicked the bucket, isn't it? Oh No, No, a little bit different. Okay, who are we calling? Then?

We're calling Dana. It's a questionably old name. It's an older kind of name, sure, but Dana is actually young. She's quite beautiful. And I was at the senior home visiting my grandmother and she actually came in to play piano and sing for all the residents. I go to my best friend's grandpa's happy hour and they do the same thing. It's like at three o'clock though, is when they're happy hour for yeah, well they're still awake. Yeah, it's adorable. It's adorable. And she sang beautifully. I mean

they all loved it. My grandmother absolutely loved her to death. It's so much so that she gets done playing and you know, they're all going crazy. They're all going up to her. My grandmother grabs me and takes me up to Dana and and basically says, oh, you did a great job. And this is my grandson. Marge classic grandma move to totly bractly put. She lives in to each other. And she's like, Mark is single. It's embarrassing, but it does work, right. I mean, you got your grandma to

vouch for you. Like, that's as like safe as a girl can get. He's unemployed, but I'll tell you he's got a heart of gold, this one. You should really give him a chance. Exactly. Dantam is reel then by this, and she's she's like, well, I'm I'm single too, and my grandmother literally just goes all right, well that's it. When this is over, you kids are going to Denny's and you guys are gonna go out and have yourself a time. Oh my god, that's a moon's over my

hammy moment for sure. Yeah. So, Mark, how did you feel with your grandma basically setting you up on a date, telling you you need to go to Denny's with this check. You're nine years old all over again. I mean, listen, I'm sure I was bright red, but I mean I love my grandma. She was trying to be sweet, and I was just trying to kind of roll with it. You know, I'm Grandma's boy. Yeah, you're trying to get in the will he got to play nice with him

still around. I mean, it's obvious that Dana liked you, because in that moment, she could have easily said, oh, I have a boyfriend, or I'm not available, or I'm not dating. Like she said, I'm single, meaning that she was attracted to exactly she put it out there. So after she wraps up and the little happy hour time is over, we go to Denny's. Oh god, that's awesome that you followed through. We did. We followed through, and I mean we had a moment. Honestly, the two of

us we were like should we do this? Is this weird? And we're like, let's just go to Denny's. She wants us to go to Denny's. Let's see what happens. Well, that's a cute story to tell people if you ever do get together, like we met because my grandma for us us to go to Denny's. It's adorable. So how did it go. We had a great time. I mean we were It was kind of hilarious that we did go to Denny's because I mean everybody has like weird, drunken Denny's memories and we kind of bonded about that.

It's like, when's the last time you're even here? And in the craziest thing, really, we're sitting there talking we find out that we both went to the same summer camp at the same time. What but you don't remember each other at all. I really don't remember her at all, and she said she didn't remember me either, so I don't know. But we both were at the exact same summer camp. So that's also pretty crazy. Yeah, it gives you so much to talk about, makes it so easy. Right,

how did this all end? So the waitress comes over and asked if we want dessert, and she immediately is like, no, I'm fine, I don't want dessert, okay, And honestly, I'm thinking to myself, I'm like, man, when's the last next time I'm going to be at Denny's. I remember their chocolate cake just being awesome. No, you didn't do dessert after she said she didn't want to. I did. You're not reading the moment, man, She's signaling that it's over.

It's done. It's not because the girl doesn't love milkshakes. Okay, she probably wanted dessert, but it was too shy to order it for herself, so you did her a favor. I got the chocolate cake. Okay. Did she eat any of it? I mean, of course I offered it to her. She just watched me eat it. Oh see, I told you guys right if she would have taken like two bites. How did she watch you? Did she watch you like in a good way or did she watch you in

like a I don't know. I wasn't an as her the way she was watching me that she was just kind of hanging out and looking at me eat the cake. Now, you always have to make eye contact when you eat chocolate cake. That's a rule. So how did it finally end? Did you then order more coffee? Oh? Yeah, we have a nice little hug. And I mean I was thinking of making a joke like, you know, Grandma thinks we should French tens. Oh god, I didn't. I didn't say that.

You didn't. I think it would have worked. It was a sweet day, you know. I didn't want to method up. Grandma would have wanted that. Yeah. Maybe. So have you tried reaching out to her? I have, and uh, I haven't heard anything back. So okay, well we're gonna play a song, we'll come back, We'll call Dana and get your second date update. Okay, all right, thanks a lot, guys.

All right, hold on second. I know this might be a bold prediction, but I think this phone call, much like Mark State, is going to be a grand Slam. Yeah I didn't really a grand slam breakfast? Yeah? Yeah? Are you on to eighty six? That joke? All right? Eighty six? The joke? Eighty six eighty takes the chicken Cutlet to march can If you're after this, I am.

I think that's great. Thank you. If you're just tuning in, Mark met a girl while visiting his grandma at the retirement home, and his nanna convinced Mark and this girl to take a romantic trip down the road to America's diner Denny's. Ye. Mark thinks they had a great time, but apparently Mark ordered dessert when Dana said she didn't want to eat anymore. Yeah, you are going to eat it because but yeah, Mark ordered it anyway, So he's thinking,

maybe that's why she's not calling back. We're going to find out here in a second. Mark, you ready to do this. I'm ready to do this. I got it narrowed down. It's either the chocolate cake or something weird. The fact that we went to summer camp together. Maybe she remembers something that I don't. I don't know. It's kind of a chubby kid. Do you have lured past

at summer camp that you should be concerned about. I mean, there was some weird stuff that went down during Capture the Flag, but you know it was a long time ago. I shouldn't get into that right now. You went to a very different summer camp than I did. Weird moments happened during Capture the Flag. I think we all know what he's talking about. I don't want to know where he hit the flag. That's all I don't want to know. All right, Mark, we're gonna die the phone number right

now and attempt to get you another date here. Okay, sounds great. All right, here we go. Hell, hey, I'm looking for Dana, Miss Dana. What's good? Who are you aggresive? Okay, I'm going to cut to the chase here, Dane. We're looking for the next great American singer. And someone dropped your name to us. We heard you got some pipes on you. Really, no, no, it's true. A guy named Mark says that you are a great singer. Okay, that's right. She's a singer. She's singing at the nursing home. Yeah,

that's right. Mark told us all about your singing abilities. Let's hear something. No right now, Yeah, let's do it. Okay. I mean I'm not really like anything. I don't care give it to us. That was great, Dana, I mean I enjoyed it. It's not really part of this, but great job. Yeah. Well, we'll keep you updated on if you win the singing competition. But there's another reason that we're calling today. What we're doing something called a second

date update. Sorry, what's that basically, you recently went on on a date with a guy named Mark, and he really enjoyed your time together. He wants to know why you're not calling him back. Oh, Grandma says that she wants to know why too, because she was really rooting for you guys. I mean, yeah, Grandma only gets to pick the first date. She doesn't really get to pick the second one. Did Mark do something wrong? Did he screw up on your date? He told us you guys

hung out at Denny's. Already told you we went to Denny's. Yeah, he told us all about what you guys did, that you guys met at his grandma's retirement home, and that you took a trip down to Denny's, and that he ordered dessert when you said you weren't hungry anymore. So he's wondering which one of those reasons is why you're not talking to him. Well, I mean like when we went to Denny's, he was like really excited about going to Denny's. Well, yeah, it's like delicious. I love Denny's.

I'm with him. I think Denny's is awesome. It's not known for the best food. I know, It's not something you go to very often, right, It like brings back all these memories once you get there. But when he found out that they do all day breakfast, his eyes lit up and he like giggled like a little girl. There's someone in America that doesn't know that they have all day break the other bast Yeah, totally, it's kind

of their thing. Yeah, Like I don't know if he forgot, but he was like going over that part of the menu and then like, oh my god, what about this for this, Like, oh am, I just gonna pick one. I'm like, it's a Denny's menu, dude, but why is that a turn off? Like what what's wrong with that? So the guys excited about a good omelet I don't know. But then he didn't even order breakfast, Like he decided to get the like homestyle meat loaf with like that's fine,

whatever you want, but like why serial Killer. When it came and he took like every single bite, he was like, oh my god, oh this meat loaf like way over the top. It was like kind of herotic and growth. Oh. So he was vocal about how much he was enjoying his meat loaf from Denny's. Okay, so if you would have been at a fancy restaurant and he was having an out of body experience with meat loaf? Would that have been okay? Not at that volume level? No, okay,

I'm with you. That's weird. Do you think he was just nervous, like maybe, you know, some people like overdo it when they're nervous to kind of almost show off. I mean, I don't know, but I don't want to be shown off to like that again. So all right, So because he moaned while eating his meat loaf, you're not gonna give him another chance. You're kind of missing

the point here. Like we were Denny's, which is fine, but then everything that happened, he was just like overcome with emotion and it was just like way too much. What did it sound like exactly? The meat loaf eating? Yeah, like hmm, oh my god is meatloaf? Oh my? Oh god? You have I've heard enough. I've heard enough of this. I've heard enough of this. Oh god, Yeah, Dana, that's Mark. He's been listening this whole time. I mean, come on, you're exaggerating a lot. Yeah, Mark, show us what it

really sounded like. Perspective. It wasn't like that. What was it like, I don't know, maybe some yums and no. I need to hear it. I need to hear it to really get a sense of what this meat love tasted like. I don't know. I got it's an auto response. I don't know anyway. Is it a crime to love Denny's? I mean, at that place is full nostalgia for me. Come on, it's Denny's. It's nostalgia. You didn't even know that they had all day breakfast. Of course I knew

that they had all day breakfast. I was just excited about all of the choices. It's just overwhelming, it was. Can you just calm down for a second and like put yourself in my shoes? Right? I'm just there like eating a nice you know, eating some basic diner food, and then when the waitress came could take your plate because you were finished, you held up your hand like wait a second, and licked the plate. Oh Mark, So

what's wrong with that? Oh Mark? I was on your side a little bit there, buddy, about being excited about food. But you don't lick plates, man, You in fact do lick Denny's plates. There's there's no other plate you should be looking. They are lickable. Plates. That's neat lookes, that's gravy. That should be their new slogan, Denny's Home of the Lickable Plates. I like it, Mark, that's just Matt table manners. It's gross. I would never do that at a fancy

restaurant either. I mean, it's Denny's. I'm sorry, Collagen and my grandmother got us to go to Denny's, and I was feeling silly. You say, Philly, I say, like food erotica, like oh away, you went to town on that chocolate cake again with the moaning, just like, ummmm, come on, give me a break, and you're absolutely exaggerating. I mean, listen, I love their food. I was having a good time,

but it wasn't like erotic like that. I wasn't like making sexual noises about the chocolate cake and the meat loops. I don't know. I kind of believe her, Mark. I feel like you don't even know what you're doing. You're just like law in the moment with that chocolate cake. Is what it sounds like to me. All Right, listen, maybe I do make some noises like that. I mean, maybe I do. Now I'm aware of it. If you want to hang out again, I won't do it again.

We'll go somewhere nicer than Denny's, and I'll show you that I don't always lick my plate clean, and I don't always make crazy noises while I eat. Can you guarantee that you wouldn't do that at a nice place? Well, I mean, Dana, are you saying that you've never had like an orgasmic moment while eating like a great piece of food ever? Never at Denny's. Well, don't be judging. Everybody's got different taste. Data. Maybe it was the best meat loaf and chocolate cake ever. I think give him

another shot, Data, he deserves another chance. And if you're willing to go out with him one more time, we will pay for it. I guess if you guys will pay for it. And then like if the moaning comes back, like I'm just gonna leave you tell you to go get a room with the food. But that's fair, Listen, that's fair if you I think you're making a great decision. Data, I mean a man that treats food like that. I'm

telling you things going to go well. And Mark's grandma is going to be so happy to hear that you guys are going out again. This is a big success, all right. I mean I do have to keep my relationship good with the community there, so that's awesome. Dana. Why don't you sing us out for today's second date update? Dana, give it to us. I can't if you're not going to sing Dana, I'll do it. Met It was definitely

the meat loaf Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. To be your best every day, you need proven quality sleep every night.
