00:00We've discussed how we've met, but I feel like we can do like the highlight version of it.
00:06Sure. Okay. Mardi Gras, New Orleans. I ran into you at the airport. And you're...
00:12I was with my friend Jules, who's a mutual friend of ours. You guys invited me to dinner.
00:15She invited you to dinner. I came to dinner a little bit late. You guys were already pretty
00:20messed up and I was trying to catch up. Doing some drinking at Mardi Gras. Yes, I was sitting
00:24next to our mutual friend Jules. I was sitting across the table. I get a text from Jules during
00:28dinner and the text says, you should hook up with Davey tonight. Like something to that
00:32extent. And I give an enthusiastic, yeah, I'm down for this. Meanwhile...
00:38Jules shows me that text under the table and says, what do you think? And I was like, yeah,
00:43I'm down. And she goes, okay, don't tell her I showed you the text.
00:47So then Jules and I get up to go to the bathroom and she's like, you and Dave. And I was like,
00:51I mean, I'm into it. I don't know if he's interested. And she's like, oh, I showed him
00:57your text under the table. He's totally in. And she goes, don't tell him that I told you
01:02that I showed him. So she manipulated the whole situation. But it was great because we both
01:06left the restaurant with a sexy secret and imbued with the confidence that comes with
01:12knowing the other person's already in. So we end up at another bar. She comes up to
01:16me with a beer. She says, there is Molly in this beer. I think we should finish this.
01:20I think we should share this beer. Having never taken Molly before, I said, of course.
01:28And the rest of the night, we were lip locked. Every photo from that night.
01:33We still have pictures. We have pictures framed in our house from that night, lip locked in
01:37front of our friends. We apologize. And then we had a crazy weekend in Mardi Gras.
01:42Yeah, we had a great two days together. I definitely took your shirt home. I did the classic.
01:47That's right. My favorite shirt.
01:48This is a real classic trick, right? Where when I did my walk of shame in the morning,
01:53I accidentally stole his perfect white t-shirt and he had to reach out to me to get it back
02:00the next day. So sure enough, we met up again the next night. The whole weekend, I'd been
02:04wearing this silver Mardi Gras Zorro mask, disgustingly. Like I was just wearing it on my head the whole time.
02:10I tried to take it from her in a flirty way, but you wouldn't let me have it.
02:14But then at the end of the trip, I wrote my phone number on it and I hid it in his bag.
02:19Yeah.
02:20Okay.
02:23Damn it.
02:26That's cool.
