The Morning X revisits the trend of "Dates from Hell", where people literally walk out in the middle of the meal. Barnes, Leslie, and Jimmy debate the etiquette of cutting a date short, contrasting the polite exit. They bring in Barnes's college friend, Travis, who proceeds to expose Barnes’s legendary college exit. Find out how Barnes handled the situation by embracing "fight or flight mode" and leaving Travis to make excuses. Crash confesses to his own date catastrophe in 1987. Hear the details of how he left a date sitting at a table at the Candy Store with a tab "somewhere above a hundred bucks."

This is from the Best of The Morning X vault.
