In the second, a mechanic shares an encounter with a customer whose car was filled with belongings, leading to an unexpected discovery.

The mechanic's story adds to this theme by highlighting the contrast between a person's public image and their private belongings. The customer, who appeared to be a young, put-together woman, was hiding an excessive amount of personal items in her car.

They compared their choices to Pokemon types, such as military men and rugby players, surfers and music guys, tradesmen and cowboys. When they brought someone home, they gave them nicknames to remember them easily. This was to prevent confusion when the other friends were not on the date. The friends rarely went on dates at the same time due to work schedules, so the other friends would often be home when the date returned with one of the men. The use of nicknames made it easier to identify who was who. This was a unique way for the friends to manage their social lives and prevent potential conflicts.
