Transcript
Hi, welcome to Swiped Left on Brunch, I am Tahlia Nguyen and I am your third wheel for the next forty minutes. This week's story has been sitting in my inbox like a bomb. A listener went for ramen with a man who, when the food arrived, reached into his jacket pocket and produced a fork. From home. Wrapped in a napkin. He did not explain the fork and she did not ask, and I have thought about that silence every day since. I am going to read the whole thing in voices, then my guest Dana Walsh and I will rule on a stack of your submissions in Red Flag or Just Tired, and then I am calling the listener live because I need to know if the fork came on a second date. Settle in. You are listening on Witspeak Podcasts!
