1
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:26,320
Hey salty hoes, welcome back.
This is our first mini episode

2
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:30,080
and in our little mini episode
or little mini salt bites, I

3
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:31,000
don't know what to call them
yet.

4
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,320
We're going to workshop salty
bites I like.

5
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:35,920
That.
Mini salts, mini salts, Mini

6
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:37,560
salty bites mini salty.
Bites.

7
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:39,840
Yeah, that's a mindful.
OK, we're going to workshop

8
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:40,480
that.
We will.

9
00:00:40,480 --> 00:00:42,240
We might go with that or we
might go with something

10
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:46,080
different, but in these mini
salty bites, we are going to do

11
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:52,800
a little profile review from
some of the amazing potential

12
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:56,000
matches that we're finding on
the dating apps right here in

13
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:00,080
Salt Lake City, UT.
So Claire, you're going to,

14
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:02,480
you've got the first profile
that you're going to, you're

15
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:04,720
going to show me I've got your.
Future husband.

16
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:06,320
Oh God.
Right here, I love it.

17
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:09,840
He's the keeper.
So, yeah, we just, you know, we

18
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:13,480
like to, we like to share
profiles sometimes and, and just

19
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:16,880
marvel, I think Marvel awe,
yeah.

20
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,160
These are all good words to
describe sometimes what we come

21
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,160
across.
Shock and awe is real shock.

22
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:25,680
And awe.
And what strikes me sometimes is

23
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:31,000
like the exhaustive, the near
exhaustive list of things that a

24
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:35,880
woman must be in order to win
the affections of this man.

25
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:41,320
But this, this guy took the
approach of what not to do to

26
00:01:41,320 --> 00:01:46,440
win his affection.
So he number one, don't ask me

27
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:50,160
stupid questions.
Oh, so no stupid questions.

28
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:54,280
Stupid questions as determined
by who him he provides.

29
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,720
Examples.
So that's that's very kind.

30
00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:02,040
So no stupid questions like one.
What was the reason for your

31
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,040
divorce?
So you're not lied to, no.

32
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:08,120
OK, whoa.
Yeah, that's not a red flag or

33
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,639
anything, because clearly he
doesn't want to share.

34
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,680
So what?
Is a red beyond red flag.

35
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,320
Yeah, it's like it's on fire.
It's on fire.

36
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,960
Yeah, It's it's yes, this is a
red flag, a fleeting.

37
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:22,880
Flag, yes.
So we're not like to ask what

38
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:28,200
the reason but he clarifies it's
actually see he said stupid

39
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:32,520
questions plural but yet he only
just gave 1.

40
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,680
So clearly this is his most
important question.

41
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,560
And he said clarifying
statement.

42
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,360
Women don't need a reason to
mess things up, and a woman who

43
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:45,000
divorces a man like me can only
be insane.

44
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,160
Oh wow.
He's surprised.

45
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,680
Divorced by reason of insanity.
Yet there.

46
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,960
I mean, clearly, can you show me
a picture of this prize?

47
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,680
Yes, this is him here.
Oh good God, yeah.

48
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:01,440
OK, well, prize isn't the first
word that is coming to mind.

49
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:02,360
Not.
Necessarily.

50
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:06,040
No, not necessarily.
But you know, he.

51
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,400
Yeah.
Does he give any other

52
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:13,080
information about himself?
He isn't quite 6 foot.

53
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,880
OK, so there is that to
consider.

54
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:23,040
But yeah, he's he's a keeper.
OK so his bio is basically don't

55
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,080
ask about my divorce.
Yes, don't ask about my divorce.

56
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:31,160
And also clearly whoever this
blessed woman was, was was a

57
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:33,840
fool.
Well, I mean, women are insane

58
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:34,920
generally.
Insane.

59
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:36,880
Yeah, not even a fool.
But like, insane.

60
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:38,800
Insane, yeah.
OK.

61
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:39,800
All right.
What have you.

62
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,000
Got has a really healthy regard
for.

63
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:43,760
Women, I think I'm going to go
right.

64
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:45,640
Should we swipe right?
Absolutely.

65
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,920
Let's do it.
Right, well I have your future

66
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:53,240
boyfriend here and I am going to
change the name, but I.

67
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,840
Am protecting the innocent.
Or guilty, whatever.

68
00:03:55,840 --> 00:04:00,760
Yeah, but I I'm going to note
that he refers to himself as

69
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:02,600
Irish, which is why I picked him
for you.

70
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,560
So let's call my.
People, one of your people,

71
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:07,080
he's.
One of my people right here in

72
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:10,080
Salt Lake City.
Yeah, so let's call him Irish

73
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:13,320
Mike, shall we?
That's not his his name, but

74
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,880
Irish Mike.
Irish Mike, my bio.

75
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:19,519
I'm Mike.
I'm tattooed.

76
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:21,000
Yeah.
No punctuation or

77
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:22,680
capitalization, by the way, in
any of this.

78
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,960
OK.
Which I think you can also see

79
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,680
from his profile picture.
Yes, quite tattooed.

80
00:04:28,840 --> 00:04:32,080
Nothing wrong with that.
But we have some between us.

81
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,720
We like them.
Sure, tattoos are great.

82
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:38,040
OK, I'm only in SAC for four
days.

83
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,400
Let's go.
Oh, he's in sack.

84
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:43,200
I assume that means Sacramento,
yeah.

85
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:45,840
OK, let's.
Go, let's go, I.

86
00:04:45,840 --> 00:04:48,640
Feel a sense of urgency.
Indeed.

87
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,800
Four days of.
Pleasure, yes.

88
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,080
With Irish Mike.
Dark humor.

89
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,360
I I would say so.
You're getting wet right now,

90
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,240
aren't you?
I am, yeah, absolutely

91
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:05,840
saturated.
Let's skip the small talk and

92
00:05:05,840 --> 00:05:09,720
meet up, see if we vibe.
This dating app shit is for the

93
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:11,640
birds.
But yet I'm here hoping my

94
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,000
future wife sees this.
Is he a poet?

95
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:18,080
He might be a poet, right?
Oh my God, I moved.

96
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:21,320
Not only am I wet, but I'm like
emotionally stirred.

97
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:25,920
The thing about the birds.
No talking, just birds.

98
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:30,480
Just birds and and then magic.
Yep, magic.

99
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:35,680
Later on with the prompts he
says don't be mad if I tell you

100
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:38,560
dad and dark jokes.
OK.

101
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:40,440
Dad and dark jokes.
Combined.

102
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:45,520
Unclear, low key.
I think I'm kind of cool.

103
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,000
Just low key.
I'm looking for high key cool

104
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,240
brother.
My character flaw is I trust too

105
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,840
fast too is misspelled.
Just so you know.

106
00:05:53,880 --> 00:06:00,360
TTOTO indeed and no.
Worth noting that on Bumble he

107
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:05,160
says he is looking for A A life
partner and B intimacy without

108
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:09,320
commitment.
Oh, that is a great combo.

109
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:14,240
I cuz when I'm looking for my
life partner, you know, I hope

110
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,960
it's intimacy with like
commitment because those two

111
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:20,400
things so naturally.
Go together, they go together.

112
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,040
They do like peanut butter and
Jelly.

113
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,520
Yep.
Wow, can we be a peanut butter

114
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:26,000
and Jelly sandwich with Irish
Mike?

115
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,600
Sure that would.
He's 56, so he'll be fun sized

116
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:30,960
for you, Claire.
Oh yeah.

117
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:34,400
Oh oh.
Worth noting Claire's quite

118
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,120
tall.
So so are you.

119
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,640
I'm I'm 57.
I'm a little above average I.

120
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,760
Always feel like we're the seam.
I think you're 510, aren't you?

121
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:43,920
I'm.
Close to 510.

122
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:45,280
Yeah.
But see, The funny thing is, I

123
00:06:45,280 --> 00:06:49,320
always put 59 on an app.
You know, because I don't.

124
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,240
I don't want to be freakishly
tall.

125
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,600
Well, you're in between, so you
round down a little bit.

126
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:57,960
So I round down, but the problem
is the man round up.

127
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:01,400
And by roundup, you mean lie?
I mean, yeah, OK.

128
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:03,360
And then I'm looking at the top
of their head.

129
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,360
So I mean, rounding up would be
one thing, right?

130
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,520
If you're 5, seven and a half, I
feel like you could say 5-7 or

131
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:11,440
five, eight.
But if you said 6 foot that

132
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:13,600
would be a lie.
That would definitely be a lie,

133
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,480
yeah.
All right, what else do you have

134
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:20,640
for me?
Speaking of lies, this is a

135
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:24,360
frequent one that we see, and as
naive as I was, it wasn't until

136
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,800
a friend of mine pointed out why
this happened.

137
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,960
So you know, like when you sign
up for an app like there's

138
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:34,240
definitely a lot of CFT
protocols in place or just

139
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:38,160
accuracy protocols.
And so you know how you'll put

140
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:42,320
in your date of birth, but then
it will say it confirms your

141
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:44,800
age.
Yes, there's lots of things.

142
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,680
There's lots of points when
you're setting up your profile

143
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,600
that you could be like, oh,
look, an error occurred.

144
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:58,080
Let me fix my age.
So it says 56, not 46. 10 years.

145
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:02,960
10 years, that's a lot, but I
guess the reason is is because

146
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:07,160
then they get into the younger
age of the younger girlie of.

147
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,680
Course.
And whenever I heard that, I was

148
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:15,080
like, I will never ever.
I don't care how good looking or

149
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:18,760
how their credentials signed, if
you've lied about your age to

150
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:21,600
get into the younger girly
search, that would be a hard

151
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:22,640
pass.
So it's.

152
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:24,840
Super for.
You all tip for you all.

153
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:26,280
I didn't know that.
Did you know that?

154
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:28,560
I did.
Yeah, I didn't know that.

155
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:32,200
Well, not before I, you know,
started on this apps.

156
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:37,320
I just like very recently like
disturbingly recently learned

157
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:45,080
that so, but this guy has stated
libs dot dot dot sorry.

158
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:49,120
Sorry, I'm so disappointed
already, Claire.

159
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:52,320
Yep, just libs.
Sorry, but something that might

160
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:56,160
be surprising you or surprising
to you about this man.

161
00:08:56,720 --> 00:09:00,520
It is something I see a lot.
Can't stand drama.

162
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,360
He doesn't like any drama, bless
him.

163
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:06,840
He's just a chill guy.
He's just a chill guy.

164
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:10,280
He wants to chill life.
He wants to do all the things

165
00:09:10,560 --> 00:09:16,120
with with with no no restraints.
So what I hear when I hear no

166
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:19,400
drama is please don't have
feelings or needs.

167
00:09:19,680 --> 00:09:21,760
None.
Is that what you?

168
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:23,560
Think too dramatic?
It's too dramatic.

169
00:09:23,560 --> 00:09:26,000
It's too dramatic.
Don't ask me for anything.

170
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,760
Nope.
Too, too dramatic so.

171
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,440
But he does like pickleball.
That's a.

172
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:35,840
Plus, and he said that he really
likes to have fun and spend time

173
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:37,880
with positive, optimistic
people.

174
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:42,720
So yeah, I'm not sure if the
drama is that positive or

175
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:44,960
optimistic.
Well, the lion is not that

176
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:48,880
positive.
No, and he also said that he or

177
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,240
he actually spelt etcetera
wrong.

178
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:57,960
And you know the thing I wonder,
I mean you, you and I are are

179
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,520
professor.
So we we notice like spelling

180
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:02,560
and we're just.
Conditioned.

181
00:10:02,560 --> 00:10:04,600
To do it, we're not being
assholes, we're just like.

182
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:08,920
We we notice.
It right It's it's literally our

183
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:12,920
job to notice.
But do they do they just is the

184
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:16,640
audacity so big that they ignore
the red line because like, there

185
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:20,960
are there are things that help
us with spelling these days.

186
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:22,440
Spell check.
Yeah, it's right there.

187
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,520
There's a wee red line, so like,
do they just?

188
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:30,360
Go screw.
You like no drama, just even the

189
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:32,160
spell check.

190
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,480

They're for libs, libs only.

191
00:10:34,560 --> 00:10:38,160
So, so yeah, he he wants to grab
coffee.

00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:42,520
