The Bert Show.

Early on Friday morning, took a call from Janice.

And from time to time, we like to do this.

We call them first date Fridays.

Like if you have a date plan for the weekend, we check in with you on Friday.

And if it's a really unique situation, we'll check back with you on Monday just to find out how everything went.

And Janice called us on Friday between like 630 and 7 and said that she was anxious but excited because her parents were setting her up on a blind date with a 48-year-old man.

She's 24 years old.

This is like first blind old man out-of-town date Friday.

This is a lot of strikes going into this one blind date.

And it's our first Friday to do that, so I can't wait till this one.

So so many people have been calling over the last couple of hours to find out what happened that we're going to do this.

We're going to play this in two parts.

We are going to play the original call that we took on Friday morning. For those of you that didn't hear that, you'll get invested in it. And then after that, we'll play the call that we took from her this morning, telling us everything that happened over the weekend. So let's go back to Friday between 630 and 7, and this is Janice calling us telling her about her blind date.

Hey, Janice. Good morning. Good morning. How are you today? I'm doing all right. I guess. I think nerves have been a little bit sick this morning. I'm going to wait at the airport. But it's going to be a good weekend, I think. I mean, the stakes are high here. I mean, you are investing a lot.

If you are investing on flying to Miami and you've got a, what, 8 o. I mean, the stakes are high here. I mean, you are investing a lot. If you are

investing on flying to Miami and you've got a, what, eight o'clock flight out of here? Yeah, 755 and it's like an hour and 10 minutes away. And I'm not there yet. Just because I don't really trust Bert's memory from reading his email, will you tell us the background of this date you've got this weekend?

Okay, yeah. I do want to, first of all, clear up. My dad and my mom are divorced, and my dad is

totally 100% against this. But my mom is dating a man who's a really great guy, and this is a

friend of his, and he does live in Virginia,

and I'm actually flying this morning to Jacksonville, and he's going to pick me up in

Jacksonville this morning and fly me down on his plane to Miami.
