We hear the sequel to the dare

Andrew
Although Tony is usually a bit of a wimp when it comes to approaching girls, the buzz from the 6 beers he’d had was starting to give him some confidence.
Not to mention that he hates backing down from a good dare.
He didn’t have a lot of money either, so free drinks for the rest of the evening sounded like a good idea.
He chugged the rest of his beer and stumbled over to the 2 girls.
Without looking back to see my reaction, he grabbed a chicken wing and slowly started eating it.
When he finished the wing he even had the audacity to ask one of the girls for a napkin to wipe the sauce from his face.
To everyone’s surprise, the taller of the two girls handed Tony a napkin and told him he seemed like a sweet guy and asked him to pull up a chair.
Tony didn’t even have to explain why he took the wing without asking.
They talked and laughed for a while and eventually exchanged phone numbers.
I expect that this event will work wonders for his self-esteem.

Key vocabulary and phrases that are discussed in the podcast:

Stumbled

Audacity

After doing something rude, like taking the wing, he didn’t apologize and just did something rude again. No shame.
