your phone hey guys we live we’re live

relax okay so I want to tell a little

story of how we met is it’s a little

interesting I um first of all I just

want to say I can’t believe we’re

revisiting this again some of you said

you wanted to hear this but for some

reason we had yeah I keep getting

comments like how did you guys meet some

we’re finally gonna just have held them

okay so here I was you’ll hear the truth

on this side which is my version which

is over here so here we I was in San

Diego I I was just starting out as a

chiropractor and so I didn’t really know

what I was doing so I went to this swap

meet okay swap meet is like place where

they sell different you know junk food

and things are junk material and another

step to some cool stuff and so here I am

I met this swap meet I have this little

booth and I’m checking people right so

I’m in my car my Nissan Sentra eating a

banana and at the time and then I see

this girl come by and it was Karen with

her boyfriend so I check okay you’re

with your next I actually went to the

swap meet to find a chiropractor because

I had some back trouble and my roommate

said that sometimes there were

chiropractors doing screenings at the

swap meet

yeah I was like the screening King so

anyway checked her I think she was the

only person who came in at the ton it

was the beginning of my practice I had

no patience she was like one of my first

patients okay she comes in yes it is

against the law to hit on and date your

patients in the nineties this is another

90 that’s why in all fairness my

insurance had been used up and we were

no longer I don’t know how to make this

right but I mean were you going with

that it was legal anyway so I I didn’t

have any patients today so I pretty much

gave her a consultation that lasted all

day it was an all day as myself and

hours of well let me do some extras here

after is there so anyway things you put

me in a in a house

gown I never know chiropractor to do

that well that’s what you do when you

take x-rays okay yeah so so anyway she

started coming in so you started getting

improved in it and I was interested in

her so I decided to ask her out

and the first opportunity that happened

was she comes in she tells me that she

broke up with her boyfriend so in my

mind I’m like hmm she’s probably hinting

that she’s single now and asked me yeah

that’s what’s going out of my mind any

guy would say that right now but so

basically I asked her out and she says I

get rejected okay I get rejected okay I

said would you like to go to lunch and

then she says well now you’re probably

bill me okay so so this is the truth how

it really went down is that I had when I

said just broke up I mean like in the

parking lot there was you know an

emotional moment and I came in for my

doctor’s appointment and I was still a

little leaky okay and he was in the

middle of providing a treatment on my

spine noticing I was a little leaky and

said what’s going on and I said that I

had just had this breakup and obviously

all my attention is still on this other

person and he says well if you need to

talk about it I am about to break you

know and I’d be happy to listen or

something like that in my mind I’m like

I’m already paying out of my pocket for

these visits I I don’t even I don’t want

to download my garbage to my doctor but

in his mind he’s asking me on a date so

question number one to you guys do you

think that that’s really asking me out

on a date I could listen more to your

problems so you have to have some

feedback on that go ahead miss feedback

if you think I’ll do the a scanner I

really or the interpretation that wasn’t

really an ask out or asked it wasn’t

interpretation so ever no questions

brought something up that’s interesting

so I thought at the screening

you were already broken up

so now you’re saying you know right so

we weren’t dating when you’re dating and

then you know he knocked on the door

again and then that didn’t work out I

think this is gonna really depend on if

there’s guys watching their girls

because if someone comes in and they’re

saying oh come on guys

if you well let’s see what they’re

saying okay I don’t know how to not a

date someone says in his mind am i

delusional

not raised like we don’t communicate

well actually we’re awesome i

communicating we’re talking about a

really funny time so okay dr. Berg was a

savage it was a subtle the moment okay I

think these are cat you’re letting me

down Joe I got your back

Oh doc from James that was not that was

not a date

okay okay so not a date heck yes see

it’s kind of a mixed bag isn’t it’s a

mixed bag all right so here’s what

happened next so rejection number one

okay but I was I was persistent

so now number two rejection number two

right it was my favorite so I’m actually

doing what’s called a genie rub which is

a massage tool back okay and and then

what happens is that I asked her out on

a date where I said would you like to do

some yoga I thought I was doing yoga at

the time I thought it was a great place

to meet on a date miss to yoga right and

rejection number two she declined okay

so this is what really happened it is

true I came in again for my visit

I’m on my stomach and he’s doing this

big genie rub massage tool on my back

hair getting caught in the motor I fixed

that i undid the nut and he says to me

he’s my chiropractor right he says to me

have you ever considered yoga and I who

I haven’t ever

considered yoga I said no so that was

the rejection right okay I had to go out

this correct

the survey did you guys think was that

actually me asking her out or not not oh

no this is the last one

Mars and Venus someone says that was not

asking her out

that was the comeback oh wait that was

the first one that was first one hi

Manuel he’s watching gosh what is anyone

oh not man I gotta go to medical school

um not poor attempt doc that was not

asking her to come out right directly so

sort of are you in a crit I am an

Aquarius or I was Aquarius until they

changed the moons and the planet things

and knows focus okay focus um okay

sorry dr. Burke I have to side with

Karen no all right okay I got that

let me go to strike three okay two

rejections so I decided that I was gonna

give her one more opportunity to go out

with me so I was gonna ask her I was

gonna ask her out

so because three strikes you know she’s

gonna be out the relationship is gonna

be done so the third time the third time

check this out third time I get on the

phone and I call her and I asked her out

on a date to go to a blues band

this isn’t San Diego Pacific Beach I

think it was it’s a great blues band

right down the street

would you like to go to a blues band and

if you don’t say that’s asking her out I

don’t know what what is but I got

totally rejected she says I’m not

interested so that was it okay so there

is truth this is the first time there’s

actually truth in what he says mm-hmm

right because he did call me and he did

ask me to a blues band I am going to

give you the

other data that he knew knows very well

occurred the omission

the omission which was he called me at

home at about 11 o’clock at night it was

it was 10:30 no it was core time I go to

a blues band do you go at nine o’clock

until later this is the first time he

called me it was almost 11 o’clock at

night in the middle of the week I was in

my pajamas already and actually I was

working on paperwork I had to be at work

5:30 in the morning the next morning do

you know how many hours it took me to

get up the nerve to call you I was

waiting all day I know I know and I and

that I appreciate I get that but it was

11 o’clock at night

I was in my pajamas so it would take me

a good 20 minutes to get ready ready he

lived a good 20 minutes away Pacific

Beach was like 20 minutes away so we’re

talking about almost an hour till I get

there and then the ban and then get home

and get to bed so this was primarily the

reason I was gonna have to pass on this

but with sealed the deal on the know is

that his roommates at the time now he

lived in an apartment on the beach with

some other guys as he’s asking me out in

the background I hear go for it Eric I

couldn’t help it there there’s through /

dudes and that’s how they communicate so

anyway I will say that contributed to my

certainty on the know but most of it was

the fact that you did ask me out so you

can you can get yeses what are they

saying

too late doc see right 11 o’clock in the

middle of the week you don’t call

someone at the last minute for a first

date definitely right okay these call

right yeah okay right so the timing

wasn’t the best okay so you want to know

how to ask someone out on a date in the

middle of the day I saw him that should

touchy because you know asking your

patient it’s kind of like so I had to do

a little indirectly so if you like

freaked out I would say what I didn’t

ask you out I was just wondering if you

like do yoga

[Music]

just kidding so cya so basically we got

three strikes zero that’s it and now I’m

like I’m it’s kind of like in high

school you know you like someone the

more you like them the more they don’t

like you and then the minute that you

decide that you don’t like them now

they’re interested but I always have him

but after our relationship after our

relationship

three strikes I’m pretty much deciding

it’s over okay and during this period of

time I was trying to build the rapport

because I used to do a little mini

seminars in my office and with and then

I asked her to help out which you didn’t

really have I would used to pass out

champagne and cookies because I had a

fear of public speaking so I figured if

they drink champagne they would feel

more relaxed and it laughs at my jokes

so anyway so anyway we’re we’re at the

point of three strikes she’s out I’m

done with the relationship and then it

was it was Christmas time and she was

going home but she gave me a Christmas

present she made these unbelievable

chocolates which I’m looking to select

oh my gosh she made these for me I made

him do everybody I didn’t know that I

thought oh my gosh she does like me

right

she gives me these these chocolates and

then she walks out and she gives me the

look the back look and she’s coming

around she’s walking out and then she

looks back boom I knew right there

there’s something there she I think she

does like me I did like you so I’m like

okay so so I go back to Wisconsin now

that would have been the time to ask me

out well I you already have you three

chances yeah so that was so but so I’m

gonna let go you know and if she’s

interested she can ask me some like you

know anyway I did I called him up asked

him to my business holiday party he came

and so basically well was there any type

of lag time of neighbors snow as a

matter of fact I was saying Oh dr. Berg

you know scaring and no you’re

relatively new and

I’m new in town and my company’s having

this you know and I just thought you

know your chiropractor these guys are

physical therapists occupational

therapists because that was my

profession occupational therapy maybe

you know there’d be some interest and

reality and you know I’m like okay he’s

like okay like well let me tell you what

it is it’s like no okay I’ll go okay

yeah so so one last little part of this

right the night that we were supposed to

go I was doing another screening right

you’re not gonna tell this oh no just

this last little part here I’m doing

this little screening and I’m like oh my

gosh it’s it’s late I got a run so I get

in my car I get to my apartment and

guess what

I locked my keys in the apartment I

forgot the keys it is dead bolted okay

what

so there is a there’s a pine tree

okay next to my second-story apartment

with a slightly open I said when yelled

yeah the window I scaled that pine tree

Karen for you I scaled it all the way up

got in there got my keys and of course

you know arrived at the door this

explains why one time he was on time and

looking amazing but it did explain why

your sleeves were rolled up and you had

big globs of SAP in your arm I cleared

it off you weren’t supposed to see that

okay so anyway anyway for the rest of

you call it fate but we both worked kind

of hard at that one it worked out yeah

all right god yeah so that answers the

question yes you were yesterday you

weren’t interested there you go you have

it and I’m sure you guys will all agree

that you didn’t ask me out three times

yeah I’m going to be looking at the

comments I think probably most the guys

will we’ll do that alright guys thanks

for watching and we will see you next

time have a good one
