The first show the last time that we had Richard and Christie on this is what she sounded like he came to us and he said look I've got this five day cruise and it was for me and my girlfriend, but she broke up with me And I still want to go on the cruise and I'd like to find a girl that I'm fairly compatible with but the problem is we only have like two days to find her So we made that a personal challenge and we took it to you guys and he went out and he talked to a couple of different girls and He decided that Christie was the girl that should go on the cruise with him And this is what she sounded like the last time we had her on I'm looking forward to it a little nervous a little apprehensive I had really low expectations like I was expecting to go and meet him for a drink and you know Not really like him, but he was actually you know funny and we had a lot to talk about and yeah So why not okay at that point she sounds pretty excited But Wendy said by the end of the conversation you say she sounded a little apprehensive Yeah, she sounded a little nervous like she didn't want to go, but she got picked so she had to go Yeah, the way it came about was like she entered it originally as a joke like a friend of hers writes on the first line in and then

When she actually progressed down Through the vetting procedure and found out that she was process I mean she and found out that she was really gonna be one of the finalists. She's kind of like oh, okay. It's cool cruiser Started as a joke. Okay. Yeah, so the reality was hit in her Well, I you know, I just interpreted it as she's nervous and here she is getting picked and it's you know It's it's gonna be an awkward situation to begin with even if it turns out fine So I didn't really read too much into it and I said this earlier You know when you travel with anybody it doesn't matter how long you've been with them I mean my wife and I just went on vacation and with each other for 14 years It's tough to travel you want to do one thing she wants to do the other you want to eat here She wants to eat there you want to chill out she wants to go on a tour So it's always a little bit of you know compromise going on Now you add to the equation here a cruise where your state room is all of about eight by eight and you're basically right on top of each other And you've really never had anything except an hour conversation So anything can happen at that point like you can't it's not a situation where running in the water in the bed

Running the shower in the bathroom's gonna be enough to cover up your parts like she's going to hear it You're gonna have to tell her you're gonna have to go to another deck right So here is Richard back from his cruise. How are you good? How are you? I'm okay? All we ask for you because we we did do this whole thing to try to find you the right girl Let's just give us some brutal honesty on exactly what happened because From the time you left here things look pretty good. Yes, we're ready to go ready to do this five day cruise together Yeah, first she was a little apprehensive, but She actually showed up the airport, which was a big step. I was shocked. I was shocked She pulled up and like at least I've arrived to the ship And we got on board laid around with the pool had some drinks had some conversation It was a little awkward the first day. She's trying to get to know each other and you know what's going on So what no you went very fast How does it go when you get to the room because cruise ship beds are either two separate small beds or they've removed The dresser and they kind of push them together. Well, they're two separate beds. So it was an issue, okay But you were at the hotel before that for a whole night. No, no, no right to the cruise. I flew that morning and then she picked me up gotcha

Okay so Yeah, I mean we spent the second day basically at sea lounging around the sun having frozen drinks relaxing not a lot of conversations Hold on a minute hold on a minute We're going awfully fast actually. I'm with Jeff on it. We're accelerating too fast Like because you you pretty much know in the first five minutes of a conversation Things are gonna go well or not. Yeah, you're yaddy yaddy in this So you get on the boat and then everything's great And then you have some drinks right and things are so did either of you get good and buzzed Yeah, it's okay Okay, all right. So then you then it then you know fast forward drink drink drink dance dance What fun then it's it's right time so what happens when you're in your little closet You're doing your little dance where you're trying to put on your pajamas She's trying to put on her full length night guy that goes up to her neck and you guys are like trying to work She's trying to get all out omnis right and you guys are trying to work your way around that tiny little room And then you go to bed. Is it like okay? Good night and shake hands or kiss or do you try to make two people fit in one bed or what happens? Yeah Actually the state room is a lot larger than I thought it'd be Okay, it was quite a bit of room. It was definitely awkward hanging out that much with someone that you don't really know sure

It wasn't that bad. I gave her space. I'd go off, you know do something else while she got ready and I'd come back So she wasn't she was in bed with the sheets pulled right up to her neck tightly Yeah, the first night with another guy with someone else So but then what it is like you guys lying in your separate bed and you go good night. She goes good night Yeah, I kind of like that. It was okay. Could you tell during that first death? I still feel like we're missing here the first day that you guys are out cruise and then you're drinking and you're lounging around and stuff Are you getting any kind of sense at all that there's any kind of chemistry here? Are you do you know like right off the bat? Okay, this is gonna be nothing for friendship. I think right off it was Let's just see if we get to the first day Unknown there was a lot of drinking maybe to get to that. Mm-hmm But I think by the second day we realized this isn't really, you know, we're not really compatible So the second day of a five day cruise you realize that this is not you're not compatible Yeah, but are you getting along? I mean it could be you know, platonic and fun and hanging out and looking for other people Why you're on the ship together and having a good time definitely and you know, I would say she was definitely a great pick

Because she was a lot of fun. She had great personality. She was definitely someone that could all the guys loved her Yeah, so yeah, a good choice. However, not something, you know long-term compatibility But that wasn't really what I was looking for. I mean ideally sure But you know, I just needed someone to hang out with on the cruise and have fun and she definitely was that person Well, do you um do you acknowledge that like halfway through the second day? Are you like yeah, this is gonna be a thing romantic? So you be my wing woman. I'll be a wingman or are you like let's just drink until we're hot and we'll have sex or like what is No, there's no sex It was a pretty much hey, this is this is how it is. It's you know cards on the table Let's just have a good time make the best of us. You said that or she said that I brought it up and she confirmed. Okay, so you weren't feeling any kind of vibe if she was vibing on you would would you have been vibing on her? I don't know. I'm not sure. It's hard to say So this is day two into a five in a five day cruise So are those other three days are they on a scale of one to ten with ten being the best time you've ever had in your life It's a Mentos commercial

And one being just awful Let's say it's about a four four You know Fortunately at formal dinner we had dinner with a a with Bill and Ann who was a Fun married couple out of Ohio and we hung out with them. They build Bill and Ann from Ohio So like the most boring people on the planet. Hey, be nice. She's on the phone. She's on hold I'm not saying he is. I'm just saying you're hi. I'm Ann. This is my husband pill. We're from Ohio and I'm like Oh great. It just sounds very geriatric. I mean generic. It's that wow. That is a nice looking cat on your sweater It's great and it's 94 degrees out All right, so you sit down to this formal dinner and you make friends with other people and things are going okay there All right. Yeah, so they were very cool. Jeff. So no, I'm not saying I'm sure they're I'm sure they are cool It was a dog on this sweater. I'm just saying Bill and Ann from Ohio. I'm wearing reindeer ears during crucian Go to the mom So I think that that helped get us over the hump because it was like okay, we realized this isn't really going anywhere, but

Sorry about that So yeah, we hung out with them most of the rest of the crews and they made it a lot more fun Okay, I we need some honesty here because If things are just platonic and you're having a good time and she's having a good time and you get back to Atlanta That's a seven that's an it was an average trip look I didn't get any but we had a good time and I'll never forget it Something happened to bring it from a seven to a four Did you fight did she hook up with another dude? I got kicked out of the state room the last day. That was awkward. No, I'm just kidding. No, she didn't know it was did she hook up with another guy? No, not that I know To be sure there was never any kind of argument. No Any kind of dislike. No, but it was a four a four is a bad trip. That is bad. Okay. Maybe it's not a four. Maybe it's a higher than that 4.2. Yeah, why isn't she I don't know this Uh, she had a meeting today, so she couldn't get out of it. Why is she really not on with us today. That's the truth You call her and ask her. I can't she's an amazing. She can't she won't talk. We didn't we try how you did Here's Anne from Ohio. Hey, Anne

Hi, how are you? Just for the record. I don't want cats on my sweater All right, and what did you see because he said like the highlight of this trip was hanging out with you and your husband So what did you see with these two? Of course we're fun people. Come on. We're oh has a book. I fans. We know how to party come on. Okay. We'll see So tell us about the night that you guys hung out with them. Could you tell that there was zero chemistry going on there? Uh, well, we met him the first night at dinner and you know They could have totally played it off as a normal couple and we wouldn't have known anything But the first question I asked was what made you decide to take a cruise? So they had to tell us the whole story about how they met on the radio and everything So everything was out the open from the beginning Okay, and yeah, by the second night we could come and tell that It probably wasn't going to work. Okay, not much Just not much chemistry and you know We tended my husband and I tended to carry the conversation a lot So we just kind of we're wondering how the conversation was going when we weren't around

So was there a lot of conversation going on at all when they weren't around not really nothing That's the worst Like when you're in a car and you don't know what to say and both of you are sitting there. It's the longest drive ever That is the feeling because If you acknowledged it if you acknowledged enough it was going to happen Then that could have been a potential for such a fun trip You know all that's out of the way, you know what she knew she came on last minute because you and your girlfriend didn't work out Because because that it could have you could have had more fun with her than you would have your girlfriend if you'd been fighting the whole time And less it's just some person that even platonically you wouldn't even hang out with even as friends This is somebody in the office that you have nothing in common with yeah, so you got nothing I think we're just two different people So did she at any point saying the cruise I'm gonna come back on the radio No, okay, she was still planning on it a thing until the end where she conveniently had a meeting okay So um and you guys were assigned the same table so you guys ate with each other every night. Yes, I see so Did the relationship slowly deteriorate in front of you or it's just it was just never even there

Um after the second night it pretty much tended to get worse and worse And I mean we we had a fun time and we talked at dinner But then we started hanging out a little bit more out on the ship and stuff and then it got more and more awkward As the cruise went on so like what was awkward? Just big stretches of silence or like we're there was it like you ever been out with a couple who starts fighting I know Bill and I don't have any couples that fight But If you did like you know how sometimes And you know the other couples fighting but they're not acknowledging that they're fighting But it's just like hi Wendy may I have the salt if you're not doing anything else like our neighbor Please did they just let miserable? Um, no, I mean it wasn't really fighting But it kind of got to the point where we would go and do something and Christie would sit on On the left side of me and then my husband was the other side and the Richard would sit on the other side of me So they would sit up for for me Yes, we're separated by two people Okay But there was never an argument or a disagreement it was just like they really wasn't we actually got along

You know times we were talking okay Yeah Did do you think they ruined your vacation? Absolutely not we had a great time we had fun I mean they're both really really cool people I mean Richard was really funny and you know he just wanted to have a good time You know he's a total gentleman and any woman out there would be lucky to be with him So if there's any single ladies listening Yeah, if I knew anybody I would set him up in a heartbeat because he's a sweet guy And you know it's just one of those things that just didn't work out and It's it's almost an impossible scenario Yeah, I mean you talk about a long shot. What are you looking like that formally? No, I'm just listening I'm listening because there is and I just feel like it's a It's there if there's no Tension if there's no true awkwardness. I just feel like it's a I don't know. I feel I don't know. I feel like it's a wasted potential fun time Very well constructed sentence. Was there one day where you just didn't see each other you woke up in the morning Didn't see each other all day and saw each other at night Not the whole day, but yeah, they were at near the end. There were some spaces. She didn't show up for dinner one night

So really really she just bailed she was you know tired Did she tell you that she was gonna crash in the cabin or she just not show yeah? She said she's gonna go back to the cabin and she just didn't show for dinner. Okay All right, that's when we start Well, the whole thing is weird like the fact you didn't even show up like I mean he still is putting the bell for it Yeah, I just it wasn't established that there was never gonna be anything going on on the trip Or was there always the potential because I feel like if there was always the potential and she was just trying to Avoid it avoid it. I mean, I think at first. There was the unknown and then a few days in it It was you know, we had to talk and and that should have been it should have made it fun Okay, and it was from that point on where she started sitting on the opposite side of our friends. Oh really after you had that talk But you say you're and you're the one that initiated the conversation Well, I just brought it up and said hey, you know, let's talk about what's going on and we agreed it was awkward and that there's no chemistry And you know, let's just have a good time. Okay At that point, I just like the hell with it and do you see your own bathroom?

No need to go down to the bar. Thanks, Anne. I mean you're paying for it Bye-bye. Thanks, Anne And Yeah, goodbye Bye. Thanks And I'm so proper bill and Anne from Ohio they're on Young in the restless. They don't say goodbye The whole conversation has been awkward. Right. I have what some space. I want some more space between you and me right now I think the problem in your relationship with Christy was Anne. She's definitely in you Which made it feel uncomfortable, but nobody knows this, but bills actually bill and Anne are actually swingers They have a dungeon in their basement It's the ones that you never think would be swinging or really swinging. They wear cat sweaters. They don't swing That's just to cover up the cat sweaters, but they got Covered it with what are the sweaters in the summertime to cover up her fierce nipple? Totally Richard you tried. I tried at least you try Yeah, you had an experience. It was an adventure. You'll never do it again. That's for sure I don't recommend a five day cruise as a second date, but it was fun probably not even gonna call her

No, probably not okay The virtue
