Nothing to say, yet

The main ideas from this information are: - The hosts are discussing a list of places that are considered unacceptable for a first date. - They have different opinions on whether certain places like Cheesecake Factory, Applebee's, Chili's, Olive Garden, and Chipotle are appropriate for a date. - They debate factors like ambiance, quality of food, and the message it sends to the date. - So far, they have only agreed on Cheesecake Factory as an acceptable place for a first date. And we're back, right here on the Unemployment Line, Doc and Larry P discussing this list. Like, that's the best way I can explain it. I don't know if we ain't got back to figuring out titles and all of this stuff. Well, we're just trying to do a show, man. It's just the next viral thing, man. People always create lists. Then they got mad at the men that created the list in response to that, to say these are the type of women that men shouldn't take on dates. And then it's like, men want to be women so bad. That's how I felt when No Pigeons came out. I know I'm old by making that reference, but that's the first thing I thought about when the men came out with the list and got mad. I was like, well, you know, no pigeons, no scrub. But No Pigeons was just, it was so unnecessary. And I've never, maybe that was like New York slang or something, but I've never heard a man call, refer to a woman as a pigeon. He thought of a bird. Yeah, I've heard bird. I guess no birds don't fall off the top. No birds. And pigeons are more like bottom feeders. Okay, so speaking of bottom feeders, what I would like to do is, I'm going to go place by place on this list. And we need to decide, is this an acceptable place for a first date or not? So it's 28 things on the list. So this might take us the next two segments to get through. We can figure out a way. Okay. First place, Cheesecake Factory. Now, honestly, when I first saw the list and I saw Cheesecake Factory, I actually agree with that. Because, now how many times have you been to the Cheesecake Factory? Once. Okay. So this is why, and so I got into this debate at home. I don't feel like I'm qualified to discuss the quality or not quality of the Cheesecake Factory, because I think I've only been twice. Both times it was way back when I was 19, 20 years old. And it was always for somebody's birthday both times. So I've never been to the Cheesecake Factory on a date to know if the Cheesecake Factory is an appropriate place for a date. And I feel like y'all been giving the Cheesecake Factory a bad rap. It's like an upscale Olive Garden. Hold that thought. More than Olive Garden. That's the way I look at the Cheesecake Factory. So when they're like Cheesecake Factory, I kind of look at, the way people look at Cheesecake Factory, I'd be like, if I could take you to Cheesecake Factory, I should be able to take you to Chili's. So I disagree with that. Because I've been, so if you go all up to Charlotte, one thing I always notice, and one of the reasons I never went to the Cheesecake Factory, is the Cheesecake Factory always look like it's cracking. Like I never go, but Cheesecake Factory, they ain't hurtin' no business. People love the Cheesecake Factory. Exactly. People love the Cheesecake Factory. So if this is more about a matter of preference, you can go get a good meal at the Cheesecake Factory. You can get dessert. They got drinks. It's a good little ambiance from what I hear. It's set up to be a place. It ain't like y'all going to Ruby Tuesday's. Like, I mean, what are we talking about? I think, I think, I think Cheesecake Factory. I wouldn't take anybody on a first date at Cheesecake Factory, but that's also because I think Cheesecake Factory's the greatest. I wouldn't go in there. I don't think it's an unacceptable place for a first date. Now here's what I would caution you, fellas. Here's what I would not do. Yeah, girl, I'm about to take you someplace nice. I'm about to, you know, come pick you up as a surprise, and I'm going to take you to this little spot, and you know, we're going to have a good time, and maybe we can go get some drinks after, and then pull up at the Cheesecake Factory. Like, that ain't, that ain't it. You just tell her up front, hey, we going to the Cheesecake Factory for dinner tonight. Let me tell you something else. Don't tell a girl that y'all going out for drinks after dinner. That just sound like you broke. Does it? Why do you need to go out for drinks? Because this is why I'm here. If you need to go out for drinks after dinner, the restaurant already got drinks. See, I look at it different. When I think out for drinks after dinner, I'm thinking, we're going to go to dinner, we're going to have a drink, have drinks, or a drink at dinner, and then after dinner, you know, if things are going well, we'll continue the conversation over drinks. You don't want to just sit in the same spot, sit in the same restaurant. Normally, like, now, of course, I'm dating my wife at this point, but when we go out on a date night, we'll go for drinks, then dinner, then for drinks. Like, that's usually how our date nights go when we go out. It's never like, it's more about like not being in one spot the whole time. Now, if you're the dude who's like, hey, you can't get these drinks. You got to order a sweet tea while we're here at the Cheesecake. Maybe we can get a drink after. Now you sound broke. I just feel like there's a lot of places that it could be all inclusive. But how long do you want to sit at the same spot? Hey, listen, brother. A good date could be anywhere from four hours to all night. If the vibe is right, you don't even realize that you've been there that long. Speaking of not being there that long, the next person on this list is Applebee's, and the women are absolutely correct on this one. One dollar margarita. Do you see how they make them margaritas? They pour them margaritas on a jug. Yeah, I mean, I don't never like sugary margaritas. They ain't got none of them margaritas. I tell people they ain't got none of that water, but. Yeah, Applebee's. If you go on a first date to Applebee's, bro, learn how to cook or something. Like, don't do that to yourself. Let's dial it back a little bit because we got to also realize that there's levels to this, right? That's not a date place, man. Applebee's is for families. There's levels to this. College? Applebee's is a date place. Applebee's is not a date place in college, man. You know how many people I know that went on first dates to Applebee's and they've been happily married? Applebee's is someplace. Applebee's, there's a difference between going on a date and getting something to eat. Applebee's is someplace you get something to eat. This is not a date. What you doing on a date? Get something to eat. If y'all go on to Applebee's and the next place on the list, Chili's, you go on to Applebee's. Chili's is fire. Chili's is fire. Chili's is fire. Chili's is fire. But if a girl says, if you tell a girl you about to take her to Chili's for y'all, hey, hey, hey, you want to go on a date? Hey, let's go to Chili's. And she's like, uh-uh, that she ain't going to want for you, brother. But I don't consider that a date. We just went to get something to eat. What is a date? Well, that's a great question. What is a date? Somewhere that you are getting to know each other. And where's the best place to get to know each other? Yeah, if I take you to Applebee's, I already know you. Over food. If I take you to Applebee's, I already know you. And I know that you down enough that you know what I'm saying? You like to stop and smell the roses. You appreciate the higher class things in life. But you don't need that to make you happy. Next place on the list, Chipotle. Yeah, Chipotle's trash. I don't understand why you would be. Again, I know we're talking about college, early 20s, 30s, 40s. At no point is Chipotle an acceptable place to say, hey, we went on a date to Chipotle. I don't even take myself on a date to Chipotle's. No, because next thing you're going to be doing is taking yourself on a date to the bathroom. Chipotle's trash. There's nothing. Chipotle might be. I don't know what's the most overrated restaurant, but Chipotle up there, highly overrated. So, no, women are right on that one. But the next one, Olive Garden. Olive Garden's trash, too. Do you think it's an acceptable place to go on a date? Olive Garden's got better ambiance. Applebee's. You see, because it's a thing. This is a thing. This is a thing. The reason why I say Applebee's and Chili's are good date places is because it's like a five dating a five. Okay. You know what I mean? Which is good. Good synergy. A five should date five. They know they're lame. They know what they are. They're not trying to impress anybody. They're not trying to make it seem any better than what they are. Olive Garden is a five trying to date a ten. I feel you. Like, y'all not more than what y'all are. Like, y'all ain't Fortifino's. Y'all ain't no Eddie V's. Y'all ain't on the level of, like, Cheesecake, Fat Bear, Ruth, Chris. You coming over here trying to shame this cheese and myself. Man, you don't get it. Get up on me, bruh. Like, don't. Like, no. Like, I'm not about to take nobody. This place is trash. Just let me know when. When? You could have put that cheese in a bowl. You could have gotten me to shame this cheese. If I take you on a date to Olive Garden, it seems like, hey, I'm trying to be fancy, but I'm cheap, though. You should have just took it to Chili's. I feel you. Just take it to Chili's, bruh. But, again, are you trying to set the mood that it is a date? Bruh, if you said it, it's the same quality of food. It's just the ambiance. Olive Garden got the whole Italian set up to make you feel like, you know. Bruh. You know what I'm saying? No. Nope. Olive Garden ain't got it, bruh. All right. I'm not going to disagree with you, you know. So, you know, right now we're five items in, and we, have we agreed on any of these as an appropriate date place? I gave Cheesecake Factory one. Okay. So, out of the first five, it's just Cheesecake Factory so far. Well, I mean, I guess that we both agreed on. Yeah, we got to both agree. Oh. We got to both agree. So, it was the Cheesecake Factory. And that's it. Applebee's, I disagree. Chili's. Chili's fire. Chili's is fire, but it's not me. Olive Garden and then where else? And then, uh, Chipotle. So, Chipotle was both of ours. Oh, yeah. All right. All right. Next one. Now, I'm a cake for this one. In favor of the minute. The Movies. I think The Movies is a date. No, it's not. It's a terrible date. Is it a bad date or is it not a date? Because I care to think. I care to think. I think The Movies in isolation is not a date. It's a terrible first date. As a date, like, if you and this girl have been together for, like, years, if you're married to this girl, Movies is a 100% appropriate date. First date? Where are you getting to know this person? So, that's the thing. That's what I said. In line with popcorn? That's what I'm saying. I don't think The Movies is a date in isolation. But you have to take it in isolation. I think The Movies is a good icebreaker. No. Movies is a good. Movies is a good. That is a good nightcap, I should say. You think The Movies is a good nightcap. So, you're thinking, let's go do our date and after our date, let's go to a movie. Yes. I did. But I don't think movies should be excluded from the dates. I think, I do agree that the movies should not be the date in isolation. When are y'all going to talk? You can't talk in a movie. In the popcorn lot. Okay. Okay. Next one. I'm speeding through now. Your house. Yep. That one's off. What do you mean by that? That one's off. Got it. Got it. That was one when I read that one, I said, yeah, I agree with y'all. But, again, maybe he didn't want a date. Maybe he just wanted you. Yeah. If I invite you to the, the first time we hang out and I invite you to the house, you already know what time it is. And maybe that's y'all, what made your misinterpretation that he anticipated this being a date. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No, he just wanted you to come to his house. Sexy Ray tried to tell y'all best. She tried to tell y'all best. You know what I'm saying? Next one. Any fast food chain. Yeah, that's off too. Even Chick-fil-A. Even Chick-fil-A. Even Five Guys? Five Guys. I don't know. See, Five Guys. See, it's, it's a difference of fast food. Like, I, I, I, I, I associate fast food with they got a drive-thru. Okay. Five Guys don't have a drive-thru. No, so I don't really associate that with like fast food. And not, there's not a Five Guys on every corner. That's another thing that's gonna make it fast food. So when we're talking fast food, we talking McDonald's, Burger King, Chick-fil-A. Taco Bell. Taco Bell. Yeah, that's not a date. Yeah. That's not, again, that's a place you go after you've been on a date. Right. Like, we not went out, you know, went out to see the fireworks or we not went out for drinks or whatever we've been doing. Whatever we've been doing on our actual date. And at the end of the night, it's like, you know what? Let's go ahead and swing through and swing through Taco Bell and get a quesadilla or something. Like, that's, that's okay. But it's not, it's not a date. That's where you find out what her guts made out of. Speaking of, Buffalo Wild Wings. You know, Buffalo Wild Wings, honestly, I just don't like the food to be completely honest. It's awful. The food's terrible. But I can see how that. I don't want to ruin our sponsorships. I'm sorry. I won't say it's awful. You know, it's not my preference for a date. It could be a date spot. I mean, it depends now. It depends. It depends because if y'all are sports fans, great place to go watch a sports game. They have, they have a, they have a plethora of draft beers. Good, good point. Because, like, sporting events are also on display. So, like, that's the thing. So, let's say the thing that y'all connect on is, oh, you like football? Oh, I love football. Hey, hey, we should go watch a game together. What do you want to go watch? Let's go, uh, there's a Buffalo Wild Wings nearby. Y'all could go, go watch the game at Buffalo Wild Wings, have a few drinks, discuss, um, discuss the sport, get to know each other. I think that's a date. Fair enough. But, you know, you know, what do you want to do? Uh, Wingstop. Come on, man. Come on, man. Who doesn't sit in Wingstop? Honestly, I don't think anybody ever sits down at Wingstop. Who doesn't sit in that Wingstop? The employees. And then, next one, before I go to break, this is where I'm stuck. I think Red Lobster is definitely a date. In regards to what you feel about Red Lobster, because maybe you just don't like Red Lobster, but if you like Red Lobster, Red Lobster's a date. That's a five day in the five. That's a five day in the five. I like that. Red Lobster knows who Red Lobster is. You're going to eat these Cheddar Bay Biscuits, you're going to get this, uh, endless shrimp, you know, and you're going to get the Red Lobster experience. That's a five day in the five. That's our Beyonce, Red Lobster. If you want it to be a date, Red Lobster's also the type of place where you can just take your family. That's the problem. Some of these places double. Like, there's some places I can just stop by to get something to eat. Some places I can take my family. And some places I can take a date. I don't see the issues. Now, when we come back, there's a couple more on this list that I'm like, y'all wild. It's the unemployment.
