00:01:16There really are only a few steps when it comes to love.
00:01:22Unfortunately, those steps come with about a thousand bullet points apiece.
00:01:26It starts with attraction.
00:01:35Just one act of kindness in this chivalry-less world can land your foot in the door with almost anyone.
00:01:50Dating is a breeze.
00:01:52Just as long as you remember you choose each other for a reason.
00:01:56And everything you've been through in your past has led you to this point.
00:02:09I love you, Vanessa.
00:02:13Who's Vanessa?
00:02:22Heartbreak is like Waffle House.
00:02:24There's one around every corner and it's open 24 hours a day.
00:02:39Heartbreak is the easiest thing to find, but the hardest thing to get rid of.
00:02:45So if you follow the right steps...
00:02:47But if you follow the right steps...
00:02:49You can avoid mistakes altogether.
00:02:51Let's start the show.
00:03:17Heartbreak is a surprise.
00:03:20Heartbreak is a small one.
00:03:21Heartbreak be some more cรดng ty.
00:03:22Relieve their minds, oh, relieve their minds
00:03:26And I wonder as the world goes down
00:03:29When answers to the call will go right through
00:03:36And every time you say goodbye
00:03:39I think to myself, could this be it for me and you?
00:03:54It's that easy
00:03:55It's that easy
00:03:56Now tell me something
00:03:58What's the best thing to do after the first date that you feel went well?
00:04:03Call her and ask her out that night
00:04:05No, no, no, no, no
00:04:08See, in most circumstances that would work
00:04:10But you don't want just a second date
00:04:14You want an anticipated second date
00:04:17Here's what you do
00:04:18Try sending her a half a dozen white and yellow roses
00:04:22You see, white and yellow could be deemed as friendship
00:04:26And a dozen is just coming on too strong
00:04:29Now here's the trick
00:04:32Don't tell her they're from you
00:04:33Leave that part blank
00:04:35But how does she know they're from me?
00:04:37Ah, she won't
00:04:39But if she's thinking about you the way you're thinking about her
00:04:43She'll anticipate that they're from you
00:04:45If it's your call and confirm
00:04:46And that will lead you to an anticipated second date
00:04:50Genius
00:04:51No, no, no, no, no, no
00:04:53Not genius
00:04:54Just common sense
00:04:55Something that a lot of people like
00:04:58Carefully examine the man or a woman vying for your attention
00:05:01Before committing to anything
00:05:04Prime example
00:05:05If you're out to dinner
00:05:07And they don't want to sit next to the window that's facing the street
00:05:11More than likely
00:05:12That's because they don't want someone to see them
00:05:15Because that someone just might see them
00:05:19Alright, so second date
00:05:20Where are you going?
00:05:22To a nice restaurant
00:05:23But not nicer than the one that you went to before
00:05:27Good answer
00:05:28But no
00:05:30Okay, okay
00:05:31How about a nice walk downtown
00:05:33And you let her choose the place
00:05:36Also a good answer
00:05:37But that can come later
00:05:39But your second date
00:05:40Should be at your place
00:05:42Put on your apron
00:05:44Or if you're culinary impaired
00:05:47Get you a chef
00:05:48By the sound of your voice
00:05:50I think you need to get you a chef
00:05:52Prepare you a nice meal
00:05:53Nothing luxurious
00:05:54Try something
00:05:57Baked and light
00:05:59But won't she feel like
00:06:01I don't know
00:06:01Like I'm trying to
00:06:03No, no, no, no, no
00:06:04Not if it's a dinner party
00:06:05You see
00:06:07So
00:06:08Here's what you do
00:06:10Invite some of your classiest friends
00:06:12That way you can play yourself up three ways
00:06:15One
00:06:15It shows that you can prepare a great meal
00:06:18Two
00:06:19It lets her see that you have the greatest friends
00:06:22And three
00:06:24Shows that you can throw a dope party
00:06:26Let her feel comfortable
00:06:28You bring her into your world
00:06:29I'm telling you
00:06:31Comfortability is key
00:06:34Comfortability
00:06:35Yes
00:06:35It's essential
00:06:37I'm telling you
00:06:39Okay, well
00:06:39That's all fine and good
00:06:41But how do I actually get her to go out on a date with me?
00:06:45Oh, hell
00:06:45That's the easy part
00:06:47Never have the second date at their house
00:06:49For one
00:06:50It's too lazy
00:06:51And two
00:06:52It makes them feel like they have the upper hand
00:06:55Always keep it as neutral as possible
00:06:58Being smooth is a trait that three out of 100 men possesses, right?
00:07:03Ladies
00:07:04If he's being an asshole
00:07:06And not a cute, charming type of way
00:07:09Reclaim your time
00:07:11Grab the check
00:07:12And dip
00:07:14Hey, Madison
00:07:15We've got a letter in
00:07:16They're asking all about chapter 13
00:07:18You know, the one about
00:07:19Friends of the opposite sex
00:07:21Yep
00:07:22I know
00:07:22This is an easy one
00:07:23We got this, right?
00:07:24I understand that sometimes it's hard finding friends of the same sex
00:07:29I get it
00:07:30Ladies
00:07:31Make sure you watch those lingering eye contacts
00:07:35Or those touchy-feeling type of friends
00:07:36Because more than likely
00:07:37If they haven't already had sex
00:07:39They're definitely thinking about it
00:07:42Tell me something, Christian
00:07:44What's the number one killer of a date or intimate moment?
00:07:48Gas
00:07:51Christian, Christian, Christian
00:07:54No, no
00:07:55Not gas
00:07:57Distractions
00:07:58Listen to me when I tell you this
00:08:00Silence
00:08:00Is your friend
00:08:02Mmm, so that must be why I can never reach it
00:08:05Oh, look who it is
00:08:08That angelic voice that you people heard
00:08:10Is my friend slash agent Ben
00:08:13The man who is responsible for telling me to put all this stuff into a book
00:08:18Okay
00:08:20So you all tuned in for a reason
00:08:21Whether you're having problems closing the deal
00:08:25Or can't even get it started
00:08:26That is where I come in
00:08:29Just stick with me
00:08:31And I will make all you listeners out there an expert in love in no time
00:08:35Just read my book
00:08:37Love the easy way
00:08:38Chapter one
00:08:39And I will see you all on Monday
00:08:42Take care
00:08:45Oh, buddy, buddy, buddy
00:08:48This has to be important if you came all the way down here
00:08:51Not at all
00:08:52I just figured I'd pop in and see it live with my own eyes
00:08:55And decide if everybody else believes what you say as much as you do
00:09:03You made a joke
00:09:04I hope you didn't make plans tonight
00:09:05Because we got a date in 30 minutes
00:09:08Look at you
00:09:09Coming down here being all demanding with your little wine suit
00:09:12With that little attitude, I'm definitely not putting out tonight
00:09:15Merlot, baby
00:09:16Merlot
00:09:17Look good
00:09:1930 minutes, Ethan
00:09:23Let me come find you
00:09:2630 minutes, Ethan
00:09:27Heard that
00:09:42Ethan
00:09:43Ethan
00:09:45Hey, it's me, Kristen
00:09:47The caller from earlier
00:09:48From the show
00:09:51You're a Christian
00:09:53Oh, okay
00:09:54I don't mean to be rude, brother
00:09:57But how'd you find me?
00:09:58Oh, you know
00:09:59You can find anyone on the internet these days
00:10:02Right, right
00:10:04So
00:10:04How can I help you, Christian?
00:10:05Listen, I need your help
00:10:08I know
00:10:08That's why I just asked you
00:10:10How can I help you?
00:10:11Right
00:10:12See, I know it's weird
00:10:13Me coming down here and all
00:10:14But
00:10:15I need more help than just a phone call
00:10:17Well, you've read the book, right?
00:10:19Yeah, I've read the whole thing
00:10:20Oh, you should be good
00:10:21Take it easy
00:10:23But do you really think it works?
00:10:27Well, Christian and I did write the book
00:10:29Could be something wrong if I said no, right?
00:10:32Yeah, but
00:10:34See, I don't have an approach
00:10:35Or any staying power in that bag
00:10:36Christian, Christian
00:10:38Look
00:10:39I get it
00:10:40I get it
00:10:42I didn't write this book from the womb
00:10:44I used to be just like
00:10:47I mean
00:10:48Honestly, that's easy for you to say
00:10:50No, no, no, no
00:10:50No, Christian
00:10:52If anything is easy
00:10:54It's not worth it
00:10:55You don't want it to be easy
00:10:58Okay
00:10:59Can you show me, please?
00:11:04Do you know the two things that cause failure?
00:11:09Lack of confidence
00:11:11Bad breath
00:11:13Now, you work on those two this weekend
00:11:15And we'll tackle this on Monday, alright?
00:11:17Okay
00:11:18Alright
00:11:19You have a good night
00:11:20See you, Ethan
00:11:32Wait, wait, wait
00:11:33Just calm down
00:11:34I'm almost at your door
00:11:35What happened?
00:11:37You sound like shit
00:11:39He's gone
00:11:41He's left
00:11:42I don't know
00:11:43I don't know it yet
00:11:48Abby
00:11:49Wait, wait, Abby
00:11:55What happened?
00:11:57I don't know
00:11:58We had a few drinks
00:11:59And we were watching a movie
00:12:01And I linked in
00:12:03And I don't remember exactly what I said
00:12:05But I want babies
00:12:15Whatever it was
00:12:17I mean, I came back home from work
00:12:18And all his things were gone
00:12:20He just left
00:12:23Uh-uh
00:12:24Girl
00:12:24Cut that shit out
00:12:27I'm sorry that I'm a human being, Madison
00:12:30Well, that's one of the things I don't blame you for
00:12:34What do I do now?
00:12:37So this is what we're doing?
00:12:44You surprised?
00:12:46A little bit
00:12:47A little bit
00:12:47I call you and tell you Paramount wants to turn your book into a movie
00:12:51You tell me you're doing a podcast
00:12:54Okay, first of all
00:12:55Didn't they already make a movie like my book?
00:12:58Matter of fact, didn't they already make two?
00:13:01Look, getting jiggy with it ain't got nothing on you, okay?
00:13:05Movies aren't my style, you know that
00:13:07I'm gonna need you to make it your style
00:13:09You're a best-selling author
00:13:11Best-selling authors make movies
00:13:13That's what they do
00:13:14No, best-selling authors write more books
00:13:17It's funny you would mention that
00:13:20What is it?
00:13:23Look, I know you
00:13:25And I know it's not about the money
00:13:28And we only grab drinks when you need to apologize for something
00:13:31So, what's up?
00:13:35It's you, bro
00:13:37Me?
00:13:38What about me?
00:13:40Fam, you're making a podcast
00:13:43Okay
00:13:44I mean, shoot
00:13:45Josh sounds more disgusted
00:13:48Excuse me, ma'am
00:13:50Can you send that beautiful woman over there a drink for me?
00:13:54Thank you
00:14:01Explain this to me
00:14:03Who are you trying to be right now?
00:14:05You Joe Rogan?
00:14:06All of a sudden, what is this, Nori, you drink champs?
00:14:11Are you Tony Robbins?
00:14:13Like, there has to be more in you than that
00:14:15There is more in me, alright?
00:14:17And I started the podcast for my own reasons
00:14:20Being light-skinned with a beard does not make you Joe Budden
00:14:25You are so funny
00:14:26We gotta book you on some of these comedy tours
00:14:28Is that before or after you writing a book?
00:14:32Look, I just haven't been inspired
00:14:35It's funny you should mention that
00:14:39Cause I got some inspiration for you
00:14:40He doesn't deserve you
00:14:42I know
00:14:44Doesn't mean I don't want him to have me
00:14:47Girl
00:14:47Abby, come on
00:14:49Are you serious?
00:15:07Slipping, man
00:15:09Slipping
00:15:14Until your light-skinned ain't in no more
00:15:16I do too deserve this
00:15:18You didn't
00:15:19Listen
00:15:21Men are emotionally weak
00:15:22They're so weak that it scares them once they realize it
00:15:25But they're not strong enough to admit it
00:15:28Here's what you're gonna do
00:15:29You're gonna forget about him
00:15:30And you're gonna get back out there
00:15:32Until you find a man that's gonna make you happy
00:15:35Okay
00:15:38You don't actually believe that, do you?
00:15:41Mm-mm
00:15:42Not one bit
00:15:43But did I sound convincing?
00:15:46No
00:15:46No
00:15:48Wait, which part didn't you believe?
00:15:55I'm gonna be single forever
00:16:00Alright, genius
00:16:01Tell me about this inspiration
00:16:07What the hell is this?
00:16:08It's a book, stupid
00:16:10And it's your next best-selling idea
00:16:13How not to get your heart broken
00:16:15Correct me if I'm wrong
00:16:16But this looks like somebody else's best-selling idea
00:16:20Madison Marks
00:16:21The author of this book
00:16:23That's the polar opposite of yours
00:16:26Check me out
00:16:27This is what you do
00:16:28You take your nonsense and you apply it there
00:16:31Make her fall in love with you
00:16:33Then write about it
00:16:35Screw everything in a book wrong
00:16:38And everyone will be dying
00:16:40I need to read about the best-selling author
00:16:43That was proved wrong
00:16:46Church on the move
00:16:46I already got you booked for Will's show tomorrow
00:16:48You can talk about it, talk around it
00:16:50Whatever you want to do
00:16:51Okay
00:16:52Alright, this is a good idea
00:16:54Up until the part where you turned me into a supervillain
00:16:57Bro, I'm not turning you into a supervillain
00:16:59I'm saving you from yourself
00:17:01Look, I don't know what the hell you got going on
00:17:04But this podcast you're talking about
00:17:06You and I both know it's a cop-out
00:17:08Because you really don't want to deal with the shit you got going on for real
00:17:12So
00:17:13I'm your friend
00:17:14And as your friend
00:17:15And somebody who can at least pretend to sympathize with you
00:17:17I'm going to tell you this one time
00:17:19Get your shit together
00:17:24Alright
00:17:25Where do I find her?
00:17:29You know what the definition of coincidence is, right?
00:17:32Of course I do
00:17:33Where do I find her?
00:17:36You just bought her a drink
00:17:38You just bought her a drink
00:17:39It's right, right?
00:17:40I know
00:17:40I know
00:17:43There's been a two
00:17:45It's been a day
00:17:48How am I creating?
00:17:59You just bought her a drink
00:18:12He sent my drink back.
00:18:16Excuse me?
00:18:18I sent you a drink back there, he sent it back.
00:18:21Oh, did I hurt your feelings?
00:18:24Would you be nicer if I said yes?
00:18:27Probably the complete opposite.
00:18:31Bad breakup.
00:18:34What?
00:18:35Oh, I just assumed since you're so closed off, you just got out of a bad relationship.
00:18:43Did it ever dawn on you that maybe I just don't feel like being bothered?
00:18:48Not even a little bit.
00:18:50I'm Ethan.
00:18:52Ethan Baxter.
00:18:55Madison Marks.
00:18:56Nice to meet you, Ms. Marks.
00:18:57You have a good evening.
00:19:04You know, I just thought of something.
00:19:06I got a homegirl who I think you would hit it off with.
00:19:09She's real nice.
00:19:10Excuse me?
00:19:11No, I mean she's funny too.
00:19:12What on the face of this earth would make you think that I'm a lesbian?
00:19:17Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:19:18I just assumed that since you're so closed off that, you know what?
00:19:23You gotta admit.
00:19:25I mean, a beautiful woman.
00:19:27Press your bitch face.
00:19:29I can't tell what a man is trying to hit on her.
00:19:33And I'm assuming that you're going for the charming asshole move because you actually look smart enough to know that
00:19:38everything that just came out of your mouth sounds completely stupid.
00:19:43I'm sorry. I just heard that you called me smart.
00:19:46I have a man.
00:19:49No, you don't.
00:19:50No woman would be that heavy on her feet if she had a man.
00:19:56Really?
00:19:56Yeah.
00:19:58I just got dick issues.
00:19:59That's it.
00:20:00Oh, wow.
00:20:01I got dick issues?
00:20:03Is it obvious, huh?
00:20:04Only there's someone paying attention.
00:20:08And what do you have?
00:20:10Oh, God.
00:20:11Where do we start?
00:20:12Well, for one, committing issues and a tendency to be an asshole.
00:20:18Yep.
00:20:20What is it that you do?
00:20:22You know, for work?
00:20:26I'm a therapist.
00:20:29Wait a second.
00:20:31Madison.
00:20:32Madison.
00:20:33Madison.
00:20:34Wait.
00:20:36I know you.
00:20:38You wrote that book.
00:20:41Don't tell me.
00:20:42Don't tell me.
00:20:44How not to get your heart broken.
00:20:46Yeah.
00:20:46Okay.
00:20:47I used to date a woman who kept it on her coffee table.
00:20:51I have that work out for you.
00:20:54You see, I'm out here talking to you right.
00:20:58So, when can I schedule a session?
00:21:02You can't.
00:21:04But you can tune in every Wednesday.
00:21:06I mean, that's if you need pointers.
00:21:09On how not to get my heart broken.
00:21:10Yeah, exactly, yeah.
00:21:11I see what you did there.
00:21:13All right.
00:21:14I appreciate the offer, but my podcast queue is already full.
00:21:21That's all right.
00:21:21You don't seem like the type that would tune in anyway, so.
00:21:24Neither do you.
00:21:28Because?
00:21:30Because you don't seem like the type to open up enough to get your heart broken in the first place.
00:21:36Have you ever cried yourself to sleep?
00:21:39Have you ever driven yourself crazy because he hasn't returned any of your phone calls?
00:21:44I haven't.
00:21:45Men are shallow.
00:21:47They only want two things, which eventually becomes one thing.
00:21:50They lie.
00:21:51They cheat.
00:21:52And they're never upfront about their feelings.
00:21:56I'm sorry.
00:21:57What was the second thing?
00:21:58Oh my gosh.
00:21:59No, no.
00:21:59I'm kidding.
00:22:00I'm kidding.
00:22:01Look, things were just getting a little bit too serious and I completely agree with you.
00:22:05Yep.
00:22:10You know, I have a book I think you should read.
00:22:12No, I'm probably not interested.
00:22:15I think you would.
00:22:17I'd love to discuss it over dinner.
00:22:21Why in the hell would I agree to go to dinner with you?
00:22:24Because it is freezing out here.
00:22:26And you have not walked away yet.
00:22:29Clearly, I'm standing on the corner because I'm waiting for my ride.
00:22:33And I was being polite.
00:22:35Now, I don't know if you're like a Ted Bundy, so I don't want you chasing after me or anything.
00:22:39But, um...
00:22:41Alright then.
00:22:52Damn, that bad, huh?
00:22:54Like Fergie singing the national anthem back.
00:22:57Oh, ain't nothing that bad.
00:22:59Look, bro.
00:23:00What'd you expect?
00:23:01She wrote a book called How Not To Get Your Heart Broken.
00:23:03I expected the girl to at least have a heart.
00:23:07Don't trip.
00:23:08You're just out of practice.
00:23:12Yeah, I guess.
00:23:13Maybe you're right.
00:23:15But if you can't beat her...
00:23:17Okay, easy.
00:23:18I'm the one that wrote the book, remember?
00:23:21Alright.
00:23:22See you, Mojo.
00:23:23How do I look?
00:23:25You look good.
00:23:27Go be charming.
00:23:28Wait, you not staying?
00:23:30Nah, I gotta get with the people who signed the checks.
00:23:33Alright.
00:23:35See you.
00:23:36Alright.
00:23:37We'll let him ask you no incriminating questions.
00:23:39Shut up.
00:23:48I was just about to call you.
00:23:50You're always about to do something, Ben.
00:23:53You always beat me to it, Mel.
00:23:56Did you talk to Ethan?
00:23:57I did.
00:23:58Well, did you actually talk to him or did you just do your little concerned friend act
00:24:02and not actually tell him what's going on?
00:24:04I talked to him.
00:24:06He knows what's at stake.
00:24:08Does he?
00:24:09He does.
00:24:10So he knows we're about to drop him.
00:24:14Wait, drop him?
00:24:16You never said nothing about that?
00:24:18You said either he does the movie or deliver a book.
00:24:20I assumed the drop him if he doesn't part was a given.
00:24:45So, when's the new book coming out?
00:24:48Oh, well.
00:24:49And I know you get this question all the time, but Love the Easy Way was such a success.
00:24:54Like, there has to be a follow-up to it, right?
00:24:56Uh, well, right now I'm just doing my podcast and trying to help the lonely hearts out there.
00:25:02A podcast?
00:25:03Mm-hmm.
00:25:05Well, I heard that we're going to turn the book into a movie.
00:25:08I mean, don't we want to see a movie?
00:25:10I think the answer is yes.
00:25:13Well, I don't know if there's a movie in the works, but I do know that I am working on
00:25:17my new book.
00:25:19See? And that is what I was trying to get out of you.
00:25:22You heard it here, folks, in the Will and Darby Show.
00:25:26Ethan Baxter, new book on the web.
00:25:30Thanks, Ed.
00:25:30Thanks, Ed.
00:25:30Stop it!
00:25:32Thank you, Ed.
00:25:52Thank you, Ed.
00:25:58Do you mind passing your rose beyond the star, right there, please?
00:26:02Sure
00:26:05I'd use my go-go gadget arms, but they don't want to scare you, okay?
00:26:11I see how that could start with someone
00:26:19Well, um, thanks for the book. You're welcome
00:26:33I
00:26:53Damn it
00:26:56Confidence. Confidence. Confidence. Confidence. Confidence.
00:27:04You know, funny thing is you called me reading a book about Dr. Claw and I was embarrassed.
00:27:37Hey, Ma. Hey, baby. What you reading? Just doing a little research. For your new book or that podcast name?
00:27:47Definitely not the podcast name. Oh, well, so you're finally starting a new book. That is so exciting, baby.
00:27:56I don't know if I am or not, Ma. I saw you on that talk show today. How'd I do?
00:28:07You look tired, baby. Sounds about right. I'm serious, I mean, what's going on with you? Same old thing.
00:28:21Ain't the same old thing, because I didn't have to kick out some heifer when I came in here.
00:28:28Young ladies, well, they're young ladies?
00:28:31They're heifers until I see a ring on the finger.
00:28:36Young ladies, son, what's wrong? What's really going on with you? We need to talk.
00:28:48I just can't figure it out.
00:28:50What problem are you trying to solve?
00:28:55All right. Ben wants me to take on something that I don't think I can.
00:29:01Well, is it the right thing to do? Because, you know, Ben, he usually doesn't steer you wrong on it.
00:29:07No, no, he doesn't.
00:29:09So, what's so different about this time?
00:29:13It just feels out of my character.
00:29:16I mean, don't get me wrong, it's a good idea, but...
00:29:19Hell, it's a great idea, actually.
00:29:21It's just that I...
00:29:22Why are you having such a hard time with this, son?
00:29:24I don't know.
00:29:30Baby, what did I tell you when you had to take a test in school?
00:29:38I already know the answers.
00:29:40You just gotta fill them in.
00:29:47I love you, Mom.
00:29:51I know.
00:29:56I love you, too, baby.
00:30:01Big head boy.
00:30:02Big head boy.
00:30:29Oh, my God.
00:30:34Okay, I can set aside just a dozen roses, I had a yellow, the only white to be seen in
00:30:39his friendship does that's coming out too strong.
00:31:01Hi, I'm on my way down. Okay, I'm, I'm here. I'm down here. Waiting. You're funny. So National Geographic.
00:31:14Yeah, I love my job. And I get some great photographs but I like to work with more human emotion.
00:31:20So I've been, you know, focusing more on candid shots. They have the most realism.
00:31:25Yeah, I've been, I started this side gig and yeah, the side project. I'm really excited. It's, it's coming out
00:31:32great.
00:31:33So that's amazing. Congratulations. Thank you. So like, where's your favorite place you've ever been?
00:31:39Um, I gotta say Brazil. Really? Yeah. Have you ever been? No, never, never. It's beautiful. I would let it
00:31:46go sometime. That's for sure.
00:31:48Yeah. Maybe I could show you around. I would love that. Yeah. Yeah. It's fun.
00:31:57Excuse me. Are you Ms. Lancaster? Uh, yeah, that's me. These are for you. Oh. I mean, did you?
00:32:07No, I had nothing to do with that. Nice move. I try. I mean, I can't believe you. Bless you.
00:32:18Sorry, excuse me. You okay? Yeah, I'm fine. Where are we?
00:32:22Just... Just... Bless you. Where are we going? I'm happy. You okay? Yeah, I think...
00:32:31Oh, my God. Cologne? Is it my cologne? I mean... You okay? Your nose is getting red.
00:32:39I hate it. I don't. That'll go.
00:32:42Why? So you damn near killed the girl?
00:32:51She was fine. One thing we threw the flowers away.
00:32:55She moved away from the area.
00:33:01It's not funny, Ethan. She could've died.
00:33:06But she didn't. And I'm only laughing because she's cool and she agreed to go out with you
00:33:14again. Yeah, sure it was a pity date though. Hey, a yes is a yes. It's up to you if
00:33:22you
00:33:22take it as pity if not. Okay, then how do I make up for this massive screw-up of a
00:33:30first date? Did you read my book or not? Yes, it's like my Bible, cover to cover.
00:33:35Okay, then what's your second date?
00:33:40Hey, that could work. I'm gonna need you to come. Come on, eat. Ethan, I need you there.
00:33:50Please.
00:33:54Hell no.
00:33:58Okay, please. I really need you, Ethan.
00:34:05Alright.
00:34:09Can I get another one? Make that two.
00:34:21So, I want you to do the Will Darby Show.
00:34:27Pass.
00:34:29Okay, so let me rephrase that.
00:34:32You're going to do the Will Darby Show.
00:34:39Is this what I've become now?
00:34:42What, you mean someone popular?
00:34:45I write books. I'm an author.
00:34:48Yeah, I know, but you're also a smart, funny, beautiful black woman that a lot of people can learn something
00:34:54from.
00:34:54Um, you do know I've already paid you for the month, right?
00:34:58Yeah, well, that one's for free.
00:35:01Fine.
00:35:02Great, because it's tomorrow at 11 a.m.
00:35:06So I didn't even stand a chance, did I?
00:35:08No, you did not.
00:35:10I'm gonna get you for that.
00:35:11I'm gonna get you for that.
00:35:22You're alive!
00:35:24Shut up, Madison.
00:35:25I was saying, a man tries to kill you, but you're mad at me.
00:35:28He didn't try to kill me. He tried to do something sweet. It was nice of him.
00:35:33Hmm, sounds like game to me.
00:35:35Everything sounds like game to you.
00:35:37I'm just saying.
00:35:38Hey, at least someone gave me flowers.
00:35:41Okay, well, you got me there.
00:35:44So what are you doing tonight?
00:35:46Probably trying not to cloud my eyes out, because now I have to go to the stupid talk show in
00:35:50the morning.
00:35:51Great. You're going with me to the dinner party.
00:35:54No, I'm definitely not doing that.
00:35:55Yes, you are.
00:35:56He's having a get-together at his house, and I need my friend there.
00:36:00He, wait, wait, wait.
00:36:01He as in the killer botanist?
00:36:03Christian. His name is Christian.
00:36:06And you're going to his house for the second date?
00:36:08I'm going to a dinner party that so happens to be at his house.
00:36:12You didn't read not one page of my book, did you?
00:36:15What book?
00:36:17I knew it.
00:36:19I knew it. You know what?
00:36:20You are going to learn.
00:36:48What's up?
00:36:51Ethan, hey, how's it going? You made it.
00:36:53Let me get you a drink.
00:36:56You know I came by to see if you read my book or not.
00:36:58I told you I did.
00:37:01To paying attention.
00:37:02I'll drink.
00:37:07You did good, Christian.
00:37:09Thanks.
00:37:12It's all for her.
00:37:15I'll be right back.
00:37:25I'll be right back.
00:37:47This is a great party.
00:37:50I really appreciate you coming out.
00:37:53You know?
00:37:53Yeah.
00:37:54Your friends seem like a lot of fun.
00:37:55Yeah, they're all paid actors.
00:38:00You're funny.
00:38:02No, I'm serious.
00:38:04I paid them.
00:38:32So now you're just bringing them yourself
00:38:34instead of having them delivered.
00:38:37What makes it harder for you to say no that way?
00:38:44No.
00:38:46Now you're just saying no.
00:38:48It's just to say no.
00:38:50No, then no is a general one
00:38:52to whatever you're going to say or ask.
00:38:55It's just flat out.
00:38:56No.
00:39:04But you have great taste of this game.
00:39:10I'd becky.
00:39:14See, now you're being pretentious.
00:39:17And yet,
00:39:18you haven't walked away.
00:39:21Well, you see,
00:39:22my friend in there
00:39:23is making googly eyes
00:39:25with a tall, doofus-looking fella,
00:39:27so it looks like I'm going to be here
00:39:28for like another hour or so.
00:39:30You mean Christian?
00:39:32Wait, you know him?
00:39:34Yeah.
00:39:35He's actually the reason why I'm here.
00:39:37Can you believe this is their second date?
00:39:39I know, right?
00:39:42And it's at his house.
00:39:46And what's wrong with that?
00:39:49Well,
00:39:50dating is like a balance.
00:39:52If you shit too much to one side,
00:39:54everything falls over.
00:39:55Oh, I see.
00:39:56And her coming here
00:39:57is shifting the balance.
00:39:59Absolutely.
00:40:00But she's safe.
00:40:02Safe.
00:40:03Yeah,
00:40:04that's the most important thing, right?
00:40:07It is.
00:40:08I mean,
00:40:09you're here
00:40:11along with these good people,
00:40:12having a good time.
00:40:15There's no shifting balance.
00:40:17They may as well have
00:40:18their second date at a restaurant.
00:40:20Then why not go
00:40:21to the actual restaurant?
00:40:23Well,
00:40:24maybe he wanted to try
00:40:26something differently.
00:40:29Differently?
00:40:31Maybe he wanted to add
00:40:32a little charm
00:40:33to their second date.
00:40:35Get away from the
00:40:36ABCs of courtship.
00:40:39Or maybe he just wanted
00:40:40some home court
00:40:41advantage.
00:40:45Mm-hmm.
00:40:46Why are you like this?
00:40:48Why am I like what?
00:40:53Miserable.
00:40:54I'm not miserable.
00:40:56Wait.
00:40:57So I'm miserable
00:40:59because I'm critiquing
00:40:59someone on how
00:41:00they should date?
00:41:01Do you date?
00:41:03When I feel like it, yes.
00:41:06Which means
00:41:07you don't date.
00:41:08No, it means
00:41:09when I feel like it.
00:41:11Do you date?
00:41:12Oh, absolutely.
00:41:13Oh, let me guess.
00:41:14I take you for the
00:41:15traditional dinner
00:41:16and a movie type.
00:41:17Oh, but let me be
00:41:18a gentleman and pick you up.
00:41:19Am I right or am I right?
00:41:21No, no, no.
00:41:22Okay.
00:41:23I prefer booty call dating.
00:41:26What the hell
00:41:27is booty call dating?
00:41:28It's when everything
00:41:29is planned
00:41:30and nothing is planned
00:41:31and you meet up
00:41:32somewhere randomly
00:41:34and you hang out
00:41:35longer than what
00:41:36you're expected to.
00:41:37Hmm.
00:41:39Kind of like
00:41:40what we're doing now.
00:41:41Oh, no the hell
00:41:42we're not.
00:41:46What are we?
00:41:50Enjoy your universe.
00:41:52Famous.
00:42:08Oh, no.
00:42:09Oh, no.

00:44:55Well that's because I don't think you want me to
00:44:57And you got all this from last night
00:45:00Among other things
00:45:01I mean we were having a great time
00:45:03You think?
00:45:04What is this?
00:45:05Then that is my specialty trick
00:45:08They only make it here for me
00:45:09So this is a special moment for you
00:45:11Still going for the charming asshole move I see
00:45:15What are you reading?
00:45:18Okay
00:45:21You know I've been doing some research on you
00:45:23Is that right?
00:45:25Yeah
00:45:25And I've read your book
00:45:28Did you get a chance to read it all?
00:45:29I did
00:45:30And yet you still persist
00:45:33You know I have a book that I think you would like
00:45:35It's actually my book
00:45:36It's called
00:45:37Love the Easy Way
00:45:40Okay
00:45:41So I see I'm not the only one doing research
00:45:44It's a great book
00:45:45Self-help for people like you
00:45:47Self-help my ass
00:45:50It teaches men how to be f*** boys
00:45:53F*** boys
00:45:53F*** boys
00:45:55Wow
00:45:56And here I am under the impression
00:45:58That it was for people who had trouble with relationships
00:46:00Well it helps men who are lonely how to get dates yes
00:46:03But for the experience it's a weapon that teaches men how to manipulate women
00:46:07Is that so?
00:46:09You should know you wrote it
00:46:10Okay
00:46:11Manipulate is a very strong word
00:46:13Where's the lie?
00:46:14Somewhere around
00:46:15You know I don't understand how somebody could be so against something that's meant to help someone
00:46:22Look my class is full of people who are hurt because of books like yours
00:46:26So the word help is a very suggestive word
00:46:31I'm sorry what did you say you're doing here again?
00:46:34Are you are you stalking?
00:46:37I feel like you're stalking me at this point
00:46:40I may have been in the neighborhood and saw on Instagram that you were here in your stories
00:46:46And you just decided to buy me a drink with the episode real quick and a ten-ish?
00:46:52Something wrong with that?
00:46:54I don't know I just thought that after our first encounter I made it perfectly clear that I wasn't interested
00:46:59Well the postman always rings twice
00:47:02Who are you?
00:47:05Ethan Baxter, best-selling author
00:47:07And besides
00:47:09Men are sometimes stupid
00:47:11It usually takes us three rejections to get the hit
00:47:15And I'm on two
00:47:17So after the next one
00:47:20I'll leave you alone
00:47:22I promise
00:47:25You enjoy that drink
00:47:52Can I help you?
00:47:53Is that Ethan's signature drink?
00:47:58Of course
00:48:22This was for you
00:48:27Everything that's what she was
00:48:30The first time I recognized beauty
00:48:33It was her
00:48:36She had long long hair
00:48:38Smooth brown skin
00:48:41Like dreamers say
00:48:44Shawty is a ten
00:48:47She's my lover
00:48:51And my friend
00:48:54My joy
00:48:56My happiness within
00:48:58She's my rider
00:49:01I'm a provider
00:49:03I'm a provider
00:49:04And when I'm beside her
00:49:07She makes my day
00:49:09Berighter
00:49:09I know I'm in love
00:49:14Totally
00:49:14Yeah, you and me
00:49:17This is how it's supposed to be
00:49:21I thank God
00:49:22That you chose me
00:49:24To be the one you love
00:49:27Yeah
00:49:28It's clear to see
00:49:29I need you here with me
00:49:31To be the one
00:49:33I love
00:49:34I love
00:49:37I know I'm in love
00:49:53I love
00:49:57Sometimes people try to win you over with playful little tricks
00:50:03Normally that's a sign of someone who's not ready to be up front with you
00:50:09What the hell was that?
00:50:11Wow
00:50:11Is the yelling really necessary?
00:50:13I mean I'm across the street
00:50:22Too much?
00:50:25A bit
00:50:27What are you doing?
00:50:29Just wanted to show you
00:50:32Show me
00:50:34It's okay to let go
00:50:39I'll see you
00:50:52Hello?
00:50:55I'm going to dinner tonight
00:50:57And you're telling me this because
00:51:00So you can either hand me my third rejection
00:51:02Or you can show up and try to have a good time
00:51:10We'll see
00:51:34What's up Madison Marks?
00:51:36On a scale of one to ten
00:51:39How excited are you to be here today?
00:51:42Well, my producer said that I had to at least say a seven and a half so I wouldn't seem
00:51:48ungrateful so
00:51:50Well, we are grateful to have you here and we wanted to pick your brain as the protector of your
00:51:56life
00:51:59So, when it comes to dating, what is one of the biggest red flags that you look out for?
00:52:05Well, first, thank you for having me
00:52:07And one of my red flags I would have to say is someone being too smooth
00:52:13Oh
00:52:13You know
00:52:15Right?
00:52:16Thank you
00:52:18There's charming and then there's also bathing in cologne, right?
00:52:22Thank you, no one wants all that, okay?
00:52:25Nobody
00:52:26And, uh, prime example
00:52:30Recently, someone accused me of being a lesbian because I wasn't falling for the charm
00:52:34What?
00:52:35I know, I mean, thank you, I mean, it's not for me, but to each of them
00:52:39That's rude
00:52:39Very rude
00:52:40And then I also heard about this, um, booty, booty date, call, booty
00:52:47Booty call dating
00:52:48Yes
00:52:48Yes, that's when you, like, randomly run into somebody and then it becomes a date
00:52:53Wait, what did you know about it?
00:52:54You know what I read about in a book once?
00:52:55Are you serious?
00:52:56Yes
00:52:56Okay, I'm new to this, this is my first time, really?
00:52:59No, no, no, no, I think it's like a relatively new thing, so you're good in your defense
00:53:05I'm a little late, but hey, if you heard about it, then I guess it's true
00:53:08Okay
00:53:09Um
00:53:13And then there's someone who playfully tries to embarrass you by doing some over-the-top act
00:53:22Madison Marks, it sounds like you know a lot of interesting people
00:53:26Believe it or not, that's all just one person
00:53:29Oh
00:53:32Okay, well, that sounds like my type of guys
00:53:37They're you, then me
00:53:42Well, what if she doesn't show?
00:53:47Well, that'll be strike three
00:53:49But of course she's gonna show
00:53:51I've intrigued her too much for her not to at least come out and give it a shot
00:53:54Yeah
00:53:56Well, I lie away
00:54:00You're my sweetest mistake
00:54:04I don't have to wait
00:54:04Don't eat
00:54:06And I'm a good one
00:54:15Yeah
00:54:20Oh
00:54:22That's it
00:54:23I'm a good one
00:54:24I love one
00:54:25I love one
00:54:27Oh
00:54:28That's what he's going into her
00:54:32Yeah
00:54:33This is for you.
00:54:36645, 75.
00:54:41She got her top back, 85 on 85.
00:54:45Ride Mustang, Sally Ride.
00:54:48We pop clutch, that smile is a weapon.
00:54:51Nick Cage, I was gone in 60 seconds.
00:54:54My Eleanor, I never stood a chance.
00:54:58A pilot...
00:54:59Hey.
00:55:03Last thing on my mind, a one night stand.
00:55:07We out here.
00:55:09Thanks for coming.
00:55:11Don't thank me yet.
00:55:20So, this is your spot, huh?
00:55:22Yeah, I like to think of this as home court advantage.
00:55:28And what are we toasting to?
00:55:33To self-preservation.
00:55:36I like that.
00:55:37Cheers.
00:55:38Cheers.
00:55:43You hungry?
00:55:44Because I'm starved.
00:55:45Yes.
00:55:52You know, I saw you on Will's show, talking about me.
00:55:56Oh, you thought I was talking about you.
00:56:00You mean to tell me you weren't?
00:56:01No.
00:56:04You know he does call-ins, right?
00:56:06No one really calls in, but he takes them.
00:56:09Oh, no.
00:56:10I didn't know that.
00:56:10Mm-hmm.
00:56:11Oh, wait.
00:56:12Did you almost call in?
00:56:14What?
00:56:15And interrupt you while you're on air talking about moi?
00:56:19Come on.
00:56:20Why would I do that?
00:56:21Oh, stop.
00:56:24No.
00:56:25Okay, well, the next time I know that you're on, I'm gonna call.
00:56:29Oh.
00:56:30How many of those have you had?
00:56:32Because now I know your sauce.
00:56:34What?
00:56:34Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:56:35You mean to tell me the hard line Madison Marks would call in for little old me while
00:56:42I'm on the air?
00:56:42No, stop.
00:56:43I would never.
00:56:45Excuse me, mister, I only come to the nicest spots in town, and everyone knows my name.
00:56:51Okay.
00:56:52First off, I'm not that much of a regular here.
00:56:56You think I want to spend all my money eating out every night?
00:57:00No, you don't seem like the type of man who cooks all the time.
00:57:03You seem more like the eat out type.
00:57:07Better than a break your heart type, right?
00:57:12You really do have a problem with the fact that I don't like your foot, don't you?
00:57:17Not at all.
00:57:19We all have our own experiences, right?
00:57:22True.
00:57:24I just wish that your experiences didn't lead you to write a book about heartbreak.
00:57:30Well, maybe if you all of them weren't idiots, I wouldn't have written my book.
00:57:36Why'd you let one idiot mess it up for everybody?
00:57:38One? No.
00:57:39Try four.
00:57:40Four idiots, yeah.
00:57:41Okay, four.
00:57:43Obviously, they didn't deserve you.
00:57:46And you do?
00:57:51Probably not.
00:57:53But I can tell you one thing.
00:57:55Those idiots, they're at home.
00:57:59And I'm right here.
00:58:02I don't know if that makes you look good, or if that makes me look like an idiot.
00:58:07Hm.
00:58:11Why are you like this?
00:58:12Why am I like what?
00:58:14I'm a good woman who really wants to love one person and wants that one person to love me back
00:58:19genuinely.
00:58:20But instead, you men just lie.
00:58:23Lie all the time.
00:58:24Okay.
00:58:24Can you stop referring to them as you all?
00:58:30All right?
00:58:32We're not all the same.
00:58:34Just give it some time.
00:58:37Slowly but surely, you all turn into the same type of man.
00:58:41We think that you're one way, and then you turn into another.
00:58:45I think that's just the way life is, I guess.
00:58:54Those are nothing but learning experiences.
00:58:57You learn from them, and you just hope not to make the same mistake for the fifth time.
00:59:05You know, sometimes you got to keep falling down in order for the right person to pick you up.
00:59:20So what are your plans for the rest of the night?
00:59:23I actually have to meet with my agent to talk about some new book details.
00:59:27Oh, some new book details, huh?
00:59:29Yeah, but I don't think I'm too invested in the idea, though.
00:59:35Well, I would like to hear more about it sometime.
00:59:38Sometime?
00:59:39Yeah.
00:59:40Okay.
00:59:41Does that mean I avoided strike three?
00:59:43Maybe.
00:59:45I know what it is.
00:59:46You tell me.
00:59:47It's the coat, right?
00:59:48Nah.
00:59:49It's the coat?
00:59:49It's the chain.
00:59:50Look, it's heavy.
00:59:52It's the chain?
00:59:53Oh, okay.
00:59:54You're not half fat.
00:59:56I'll take it.
00:59:56Yeah.
00:59:59So, when's your next broadcast?
01:00:01Tomorrow night.
01:00:04People with broken hearts constantly need someone to talk to.
01:00:09We should do this again sometime.
01:00:12We should.
01:00:14Thank you, Ethan, for dinner.
01:00:18Thank you for coming.
01:00:21I almost didn't come.
01:00:23But I'm glad I did.
01:00:25I'm glad I did.
01:00:26Well, okay.
01:00:27You surprised me.
01:00:29I don't know.
01:00:30There might be hope for other men out there.
01:00:33I'll take that.
01:00:35I'm glad you care.
01:00:42If in any case you decide to take a chance on something, make sure you prepare yourself
01:00:47to be let down.
01:00:49That way, if it doesn't happen, you win.
01:00:53But if it does, no big surprise.
01:00:59This is me.
01:01:03This is you.
01:01:04Yeah.
01:01:06I, um...
01:01:08I had a good time tonight, Ethan.
01:01:11Surprisingly?
01:01:13Surprisingly.
01:01:20Madison, I have to tell you something.
01:01:22I was supposed...
01:01:32I had a really good time, too.
01:01:35And can I see you again?
01:01:40See you.
01:01:57So what, you think you made a mistake?
01:02:00Look, man.
01:02:01I thought I could do this and be all business, but...
01:02:03But now she got you hooked?
01:02:04No.
01:02:05Hell no.
01:02:07Maybe.
01:02:10It's something.
01:02:10I don't know.
01:02:12Look, bro.
01:02:13Fall in love with the girl.
01:02:15Marry her.
01:02:16I really don't give a shit.
01:02:17Just don't lose focus of what we got going on.
01:02:19I got this.
01:02:20You sure?
01:02:21Yes.
01:02:22Then why you acting like this?
01:02:23I got it.
01:02:24Alright?
01:02:25Seriously, bro.
01:02:28They're gonna drop you, Ethan.
01:02:33What?
01:02:35You won't do the movie.
01:02:36So the book was our only end.
01:02:39Now you in love with her?
01:02:40I'm not in love with her.
01:02:41This ain't heist.
01:02:42Then why you acting like this?
01:02:42I don't know.
01:02:44Just...
01:02:47Alright, tell them I'll do the book.
01:02:49Alright?
01:02:50I'll do the book.
01:03:07Alright.
01:03:18I'll do the book.
01:03:19Right?
01:03:20I'd like to think so.
01:03:22What's going on?
01:03:23It's me.
01:03:24Do I seem different?
01:03:25Because I feel different.
01:03:28You mean other than this awkward shit you're doing right now?
01:03:31Abby, I'm for real.
01:03:32Come on.
01:03:33You seem fine, Madison.
01:03:35Okay, well.
01:03:37Brace yourself.
01:03:38Oh, really?
01:03:39I met someone.
01:03:41You?
01:03:42You met someone?
01:03:44Yeah.
01:03:45Wait, is it the cute guy from the bar?
01:03:47Yes.
01:03:47And we're only Christian's party?
01:03:49No, the party you didn't want to go to.
01:03:51Yes.
01:03:52That's him.
01:03:53That's him.
01:03:54And he's got you smiling like that?
01:03:56This man deserves an award.
01:03:57I can't believe I'm even talking about this, but...
01:04:00It's okay.
01:04:01I mean, you're not a robot, right?
01:04:03You do have feelings?
01:04:04Of course I do.
01:04:05Then let them out, Madison.
01:04:07Look, I met Christian at a bookstore of all places.
01:04:11And he's really trying.
01:04:13We've really hit it off.
01:04:14It's very cute.
01:04:16I don't know.
01:04:16I still feel like he's running game on you or trying to kill you.
01:04:20I'm just saying, as your friend, I'm just letting you know.
01:04:23You always think that.
01:04:25Look, open up, okay?
01:04:27You can't shut men out all the time.
01:04:30People are going to start thinking you're a lesbian.
01:04:32No, girl.
01:04:34You're right.
01:04:34But I'm just saying it's okay to let someone in.
01:04:37You never know what might happen.
01:04:41Yeah.
01:05:09Inside my lungs began to breathe.
01:05:13Yeah.
01:05:15I must have a point.
01:05:17We weren't supposed to ever live without your voice.
01:05:22No, you didn't have to, but you let me make the choice.
01:05:30When I broke your heart, you weren't the least surprised to see me run so far.
01:05:37How do I so quickly just forget that's who you are?
01:05:42Yeah.
01:05:43That's right.
01:05:44Yeah.
01:05:45And then you baked the sky.
01:05:48With every tear from every eye.
01:05:52When I was too afraid to fly.
01:05:55You gave everything a reason why.
01:05:59I guess it isn't all to say.
01:06:02Somehow it's all about him, hey
01:06:07Something inside, there's something inside
01:06:10Something inside, yeah
01:06:28Hey
01:06:35Hey
01:06:45You just gonna chew your straw and not go wait until the waiter comes and gets that order?
01:06:50I'm hungry
01:06:53What?
01:06:56You know, one of these days, I'm gonna have to come and audit your show
01:06:59You still trying to prove that everything I say is wrong, huh?
01:07:03No, I just wanna come audit your show to get some pointers just in case you, uh, break my heart
01:07:10Well, funny, tomorrow's taping is live, so you should come and sit in on that
01:07:15Well, I just might
01:07:17Um, Madison, look, I gotta take some
01:07:26You know what, after my show, why don't we go back to my place?
01:07:30I don't know, maybe we can have some drinks or watch a movie or something
01:07:35Sounds funny
01:07:37But sheesh, don't sound so excited
01:07:40This is supposed to be a special moment for you
01:07:44Is it?
01:07:44I know what you like
01:07:47I know what you like
01:07:47You like those rom-coms
01:07:49Yeah
01:07:49No
01:07:49No, no, no
01:07:51No, not the rom-com
01:07:52Okay
01:07:52Slasher films
01:07:54Ah
01:07:54Okay, stop making
01:07:56You can't be stabbing these people here
01:07:59You black
01:08:01I hope you're not afraid of the dark
01:08:10What?
01:08:14Nothing
01:08:14It's just thinking about how much fun we're gonna have
01:08:17Good
01:08:19Hey, it's Ethan
01:08:21Hey
01:08:22Hey
01:08:28Hey
01:08:28Yo, I think he did it again
01:08:31I read that part too
01:08:32It's really good
01:08:35So what's going on, man?
01:08:36You haven't called into the show in a while
01:08:38I haven't needed to
01:08:39I mean, ever since I found my baby
01:08:43See, I was wondering what this connection between the two of you was all about
01:08:46But then Christian told me about your book and how he changed his life
01:08:51Then I realized I have you to thank for him almost killing me with those flowers
01:08:56Oh, so now it's all starting to make sense
01:08:59Right
01:09:02Yeah, he's been spending a lot of time with her
01:09:05I don't think so
01:09:08Look, Ethan and Madison will be over as soon as the book's done
01:09:12No, he doesn't love her
01:09:16I know she has no idea that the book is about her either
01:09:20Look, I'm telling you, he's on top of it
01:09:22He was a little shaky at first, but he got on track
01:09:25It's almost done
01:09:31So, how is this going?
01:09:34I don't know
01:09:35How is it going, huh, babe?
01:09:38Annoyingly well
01:09:53Ethan, I really want to say thank you for it
01:09:56No, no, no thanks needed, you didn't
01:09:58No, no, no, no, seriously, if it wasn't for you
01:10:00I'd still be walking around that bookstore checking your breath
01:10:03You saw that?
01:10:06Of course
01:10:06All I heard was this heavy breathing
01:10:08He was like
01:10:10I have asthma
01:10:11Okay
01:10:19Believe me when I say that being proved right
01:10:22No matter how many times
01:10:24Is the worst feeling in the world
01:10:29Well, we just saw the two of you having a good time
01:10:32Just wanted to say hi
01:10:33Well, we appreciate you stopping by
01:10:35And I see what's going on here, too
01:10:38So, keep up the good work, Ethan
01:10:40I will definitely try
01:10:41I haven't seen Madison this happy in years
01:10:46I'll see y'all
01:10:46Have a good night
01:10:50Alright, baby
01:10:53I'm kinda really happy for them
01:10:55You should've seen Christian before I got a hold of him
01:10:57Total dumpster fire
01:11:01How's your book coming?
01:11:04Hmm?
01:11:06Your book?
01:11:09It's coming along fine
01:11:12What is it about?
01:11:15My book?
01:11:17Um, just a follow up
01:11:19From my first book
01:11:21About what?
01:11:23Yeah
01:11:24I'mma get you a refill
01:11:27Is your book about me?
01:11:30What?
01:11:33Is your book about me, Ethan?
01:11:36Who told you that?
01:11:39Wow
01:11:41Who told me that?
01:11:42Not
01:11:42No, Madison, are you absurd?
01:11:44No, of course your book is about you
01:11:46Does it matter?
01:11:47Madison
01:11:47Huh?
01:11:48You know what?
01:11:48Just...
01:11:49Madison, if you just let me explain
01:11:51Stop, Ethan, just stop
01:11:53If you just let me explain
01:11:55Thank you
01:11:56Because for a second
01:12:23Because for a second
01:12:24I almost forgot who I was
01:12:25There is something they're not
01:12:27There is something they're not
01:12:28They're the most dangerous kind
01:12:29The mind's getting torn apart
01:12:35You begin to fall for one because you think they're different from the rest
01:12:39But it hurts more than anything because you then realize you were wrong
01:12:49You make it seem like there's no one you can trust
01:12:53Sadly, that's the way it is sometimes
01:12:58Let's take a quick break
01:13:00We'll be right back with our live show after we pay some bills
01:13:10All right, and we're back
01:13:12Where I left off, I was saying that I would...
01:13:17Who put these here?
01:13:22I did
01:13:26What are you doing here, Ethan?
01:13:29Yellow or white roses can be seen as friendship
01:13:32And a dozen is coming on too strong
01:13:35But a dozen can let someone know you're serious
01:13:38And red is the universal color of love
01:13:44And I assume those are words out of your book?
01:13:47Come on, Madison, you know they're from my book because I know you read it
01:13:51Guys, you know we're live right now, right?
01:13:55What's your point, Ethan?
01:13:57My point is those words weren't just from my book
01:14:00They were from me
01:14:02Oh
01:14:03And what are the exact words out of your new book, hmm?
01:14:10All right, look, Madison, they were gonna drop me
01:14:12Oh, they were...
01:14:13And I couldn't tell you what the book was about because if...
01:14:15Because you knew that I wasn't gonna stick around and allow you to make a fool out of me
01:14:18No, no, I'm not like them
01:14:20No, you're not like them, you know what? You're worse
01:14:23Matter of fact, I can tell you exactly what you're...
01:14:25You know what you are?
01:14:25What? What?
01:14:27Caring? Funny? Charming?
01:14:29You're a f******
01:14:31I knew it when we met outside
01:14:33I knew it when I decided to link up with you for dinner
01:14:35I felt it in my intuition but I decided to ignore it
01:14:37So you and that book of yours can go straight to hell
01:14:42Okay, I messed up
01:14:43I messed up royally, okay?
01:14:45And I know it doesn't mean much right now but...
01:14:48I wish I never wrote a single word of the first part of that book
01:14:53But the second half...
01:14:55The second half was way different
01:14:58I trusted you
01:14:59And I never broke that
01:15:00You lied to me
01:15:01You hid who you really were
01:15:03I showed you exactly who I was
01:15:05But did you?
01:15:06Or was it all an act?
01:15:08What role or what character are you playing right now?
01:15:11You know what sucks about all of this?
01:15:13Is that I would never be able to trust you again because I don't know who you really are
01:15:17You are the exact reason why I wrote my book
01:15:22In the beginning
01:15:25If you knew what I had planned, would you even give us a chance?
01:15:31I thought so
01:15:33Madison, why can't you just admit that you're scared?
01:15:37Scared of what?
01:15:38Scared of us
01:15:39Of yourself
01:15:40Hell, of letting go
01:15:41Of letting go?
01:15:42So you want me to just look past the fact that you intentionally pursued me
01:15:46Just so you could write a book about how easy it was to have one up on me?
01:15:49The first half of the book, yes
01:15:51What? Are you kidding me?
01:15:54How can anyone look past that?
01:15:55Because none of that shit matters now
01:16:00Look, I know it sucks
01:16:02But we're here now
01:16:04We just let it go
01:16:07Just let it go?
01:16:08Yes
01:16:10Because what happened after that
01:16:12The second half of the book
01:16:15I know you know because you were there too
01:16:25I don't believe you
01:16:30Madison
01:16:32Madison, please
01:16:35Middle of the book
01:16:36the fifth day
01:16:44Here's a project
01:16:44I'm sorry
01:16:44I'm sorry
01:16:46I didn't know
01:16:47I should be there too
01:16:48I'm sorry
01:16:52I'm sorry
01:16:52I'm sorry
01:17:04You know, sometimes you just think it's easy, like it's all a game, and then you fall, and
01:17:16you realize that you can't govern someone's heart from the pages of a book.
01:17:20It takes time, work, honesty, and most of all, trust.
01:17:33Until next time.
01:17:56I'll see you next time.
01:18:02Oh, my God.
01:18:27Oh, my God.
01:18:56Ethan, this is great.
01:18:58You really outdid yourself.
01:19:03Thanks, man.
01:19:07Hey, man.
01:19:08The results from the focus group are back.
01:19:10They loved it.
01:19:12Smile, man.
01:19:13You back.
01:19:15Look, we've got you on all the major shows starting in a few weeks, so why don't you get some
01:19:20rest?
01:19:22The roller coaster is going to start soon.
01:19:26Great.
01:19:27We done here?
01:19:31E.
01:19:31Hey, we know what you gave up for this, man.
01:19:54Okay, so we have to start off
01:19:57with a now viral moment on Madison Marks' podcast.
01:20:01Of course.
01:20:03So tell us what happened.
01:20:05Did you know you were live?
01:20:06Um, well, no.
01:20:08I didn't know we were live.
01:20:10And, I mean, Madison and I, we had a thing.
01:20:13And now it's over.
01:20:17That's it.
01:20:19That's it?
01:20:21Um, well, no.
01:20:23I didn't know we were live.
01:20:26And, I mean, Madison and I, we had a thing.
01:20:29And now it's over.
01:20:32That's it.
01:20:34That's it.
01:20:37Okay, well, we do have the new book out, Love the Hard Way.
01:20:44So, there's actually a rumor going around
01:20:47that the book is about Madison.
01:20:50But no one can confirm that for us.
01:20:53So, Ethan, can you give us exclusive?
01:20:59Is the book about Madison?
01:21:26Um, yeah.
01:21:29Yeah, it is.
01:21:33Wow.
01:21:37Okay, um, wow.
01:21:39Because I read the whole book.
01:21:42And if the book is about her, then...
01:21:47Wow.
01:21:49Okay.
01:21:53Woo.
01:21:54All right, um...
01:21:57So, what brought all this on?
01:22:03Because I love her.
01:22:12I'm in love with her.
01:22:21I am at a loss for words.
01:22:25Does she know?
01:22:28I don't think so.
01:22:30We haven't spoken in a while.
01:22:35This is a mess.
01:22:37I mean, the whole book was a mess.
01:22:40But I'm not gonna lie.
01:22:41If I had a chance to do it again, I would,
01:22:44because...
01:22:45I wouldn't have met her if I didn't.
01:22:56I wouldn't have met her if I didn't.
01:22:58Talk about a hopeless romantic.
01:23:01Um, hope I didn't spoil anything for you guys.
01:23:04We will take it, even if you did.
01:23:07Uh, well...
01:23:08I don't know how to follow up with that, so, uh...
01:23:12Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait.
01:23:13I have a word for my...
01:23:15A word for my producers.
01:23:19Okay.
01:23:22Okay.
01:23:22Okay.
01:23:24Okay.
01:23:25All right.
01:23:26Well, this is a first.
01:23:29We have a call-in.
01:23:31And Ethan,
01:23:33it's for you.
01:23:43Hey.
01:23:51Hey.
01:24:04And Ethan,
01:24:05it's for down, yeah.
01:24:30Thinking back on those nights that we shared in that September.
01:24:34I see a purple neon light.
01:24:37I see the shape of your body, remember?
01:24:40Thinking back on those days all alone in that November.
01:24:45I see my thoughts going way off track.
01:24:48And still I find my way back to know when it moved right from wrong.
01:24:52And still, after all, I found...
01:24:56I found you.
01:25:00Before I knew you,
01:25:02My heart was sailing on an endless sea
01:25:09Before I knew you
01:25:12I didn't know what love could be
01:25:17I didn't know
01:25:20I didn't know
01:25:28You know
01:25:28How are the actual real things
