Speaker 3: Some nice bulbs. Can we know what her name is?
Speaker 6: Yeah? Yeah, Katie, Katie.

Speaker 4: I don't frequent community gardens, but I assume people who
Speaker 4: do go there often right to tend.
Speaker 6: Well, you have to take care of your right.
Speaker 4: So is it something where you'd seen Katie multiple times
Speaker 4: before you actually went up and talked to her.
Speaker 6: Yes, the first time I actually got the courage to
Speaker 6: talk to. He was very casual and I did. We
Speaker 6: did not exchange numbers or anything. It's more like talking
Speaker 6: about garden. And I asked her what she was planting.
Speaker 2: She's telling me Veggie, Oh wow, you got right into the.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I got right into the dirt.
Speaker 3: Good for you.
Speaker 1: So then I.
Speaker 6: Saw her a day or two later, she was back
Speaker 6: at the garden. So then I went up to her
Speaker 6: and I was like, oh yo, how how's the radishes?
Speaker 6: And that got like a chuck off from her.
Speaker 5: Okay, look at you, mister humor.
Speaker 3: I don't know if I see what the joke is.
Speaker 6: Yes, she's thinking that I actually care when she was
Speaker 6: a planting, but I didn't. I just wanted to talk
Speaker 6: to her. That's yeah, I.
Speaker 2: Don't care about she doesn't listen back to this if
Speaker 2: it works out, okay, I.
Speaker 6: Mean I told her, like, you know, I have to
Speaker 6: be chatted. Then I got her number and I said, hey,
Speaker 6: there's a cute pub like a few blocks away. She
Speaker 6: wanted to go for a drink after.
Speaker 5: Oh look at you.
Speaker 4: Okay, were you talking this fast when you asked her to?
Speaker 5: Because you seem a little nervous right now?
Speaker 1: Was I talking?
Speaker 6: I don't know she's nervous.
Speaker 3: Girl comes off a little bit sexy. I think that's
Speaker 3: what Brooke was trying to.
Speaker 6: Say, rather sexy than nervous.
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, it's coming through right now.
Speaker 3: So tell So you took her to a pub.
Speaker 6: And it was cool, Everyone's going great. But then the
Speaker 6: next day I texted her and nothing.
Speaker 4: Okay, Well, can we talk a little bit more about
Speaker 4: your time at the pub, like was flirting happening?
Speaker 2: Like?
Speaker 5: Any?
Speaker 6: I mean, I try. I don't know how good my
Speaker 6: game is, but I drive.
Speaker 3: It's working on us right now, dude, so keep it going.
Speaker 6: I do have a confession, though, that I didn't tell her.
Speaker 5: Okay, decide the radish question that you didn't care.
Speaker 6: What it Wasn't we say this? We I knew she
Speaker 6: was going to be.
Speaker 5: There, going to beware you invited her at a.
Speaker 6: Guard at the garden.
Speaker 1: What do you mean?
Speaker 6: Well, okay, my parents are on this dating app where
Speaker 6: parents kind of meet up with other parents to find
Speaker 6: dates for their single like young adults.
Speaker 5: Wait, that exists? There's a dating app for parents to
Speaker 5: meddle in their kids' lives.
Speaker 3: Yeah, please do not tell us what the name this
Speaker 3: side is.
Speaker 1: No, No, I'm not.
Speaker 6: I'm not telling you. But Katie's parents were in on it.
Speaker 6: Katie doesn't know, I think, but her parents were on
Speaker 6: and they're they're so down. They talk to my parents
Speaker 6: and I know this sounds strange.
Speaker 3: But yeah, I'm trying to miss.
Speaker 2: This is a site where parents meet up with each
Speaker 2: other to figure out if their kids would be a
Speaker 2: good match.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're basically like it's basically like a range daity right. So, like,
Speaker 4: so you're saying Katie's parents told your parents, Katie will
Speaker 4: be at the garden from three to five.
Speaker 5: Your son should show up.
Speaker 6: Then, Yeah, so I got a plot. I don't even garden.
Speaker 6: I don't know how to garden.
Speaker 3: Whoa, you don't even know how to garden?
Speaker 6: Not really, I mean I was just digging hole. I
Speaker 6: mean I was just like I was digging holes in
Speaker 6: the dark, pretending.
Speaker 5: Oh my god, So you just got a plot to.
Speaker 6: Meet sun hat. I got a sun hat.
Speaker 5: Kay didn't have to go that hard a bunch of water.
Speaker 4: Okay, So this would be fine if Katie knew her
Speaker 4: parents were doing this.
Speaker 5: But she doesn't know.
Speaker 6: No, I don't think so. I mean, she didn't mention anything,
Speaker 6: and I just don't want to freak her out.
Speaker 3: At least your parents already approve of me.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I wonder if her parents know that she's not responding
Speaker 2: to you. Now, how long has it been.
Speaker 6: It's been like about five days.
Speaker 5: And have you told your parents that she hasn't responded.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and her mother actually reached out tonight. O.
Speaker 5: Wait, Katie's mother reached out to you.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and she said, I think you will be perfect
Speaker 6: for her.
Speaker 1: Now you want more.
Speaker 4: People in on this, Like you've got two sets of
Speaker 4: parents already involved, and you want us involved.
Speaker 1: To me, I don't.
Speaker 6: I can't. I don't know why I can't have my
Speaker 6: own relationship.
Speaker 2: I don't know idea that it's odd that the most
Speaker 2: natural thing in this entire situation is actually the fact
Speaker 2: that you're calling a radio show to intervene in your data.
Speaker 5: It's like we're a community garden. We've got the radio,
Speaker 5: we've got the parents. We're just trying to grow a
Speaker 5: relationship here.
Speaker 1: It takes it.
Speaker 3: Remember justin hatess community gardens and doesn't.
Speaker 5: Care about them, so it doesn't know about it.
Speaker 6: But I will learn. I mean, if me and her
Speaker 6: go on more day, I'll have her talk to me
Speaker 6: about the garden, like educate me, nothing like faking.
Speaker 5: An interest to get in with somebody.
Speaker 6: Yeah, who doesn't do that.
Speaker 2: We're going to share that sentiment with Katie when we
Speaker 2: come back and call her and try and get you
Speaker 2: a second date update right after this.
Speaker 3: Okay, dirty boy.
Speaker 2: Yes, we're in the middle of a second date call.
Speaker 2: And when we left, I told Justin that we'd call
Speaker 2: Katie and share the sentiment. And I'm seeing people texting
Speaker 2: in at seventy five nine two telling me, don't do that.
Speaker 2: Don't blow his cover about his parents' matchmaking app.
Speaker 5: Wait, you said that we were going to tell him
Speaker 5: though I didn't hear that.
Speaker 3: That's not what I meant at all.
Speaker 2: I just meant share the sentiment that he really likes
Speaker 2: her and is eager to learn more about gardening. You
Speaker 2: could see what he really doesn't want to do that,
Speaker 2: but he's he says he's willing to try maybe. And
Speaker 2: I guess the more important question, though, that we need
Speaker 2: to talk about, is are we all okay with hiding
Speaker 2: the fact that her parents matched her with a guy
Speaker 2: without her knowledge on a dating site for parents that
Speaker 2: hook up their grown kids with each other. I I mean, Justin,
Speaker 2: how do you what do you think?
Speaker 3: Do you feel weird about your parents finding you a lover?
Speaker 6: Well, you know when you like date somebody at the
Speaker 6: meet their parents and it's always awkward and you're nervous,
Speaker 6: Like are the parents already approve of me?
Speaker 4: That's like, you know, such a credit card, like the
Speaker 4: improved The best relationships can come from, like arrangements.
Speaker 5: Honestly, like your parents know you best, they really do.
Speaker 5: Watch cute.
Speaker 2: Yeah, all for voting to bring marriage and relationships back
Speaker 2: to the nineteen.
Speaker 5: Twenty Hey, listen, listen.
Speaker 4: If we're allowing algorithms to help us find love, why
Speaker 4: wouldn't we let our parents also help us.
Speaker 3: We're trying for a one in a million chance.
Speaker 2: And I'm just gonna say we're not gonna reveal the
Speaker 2: parents matchmaking app, but justin if you want to do that,
Speaker 2: that's totally up to you.
Speaker 5: I do feel like you should do it at some point.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean we'll see, Yeah, just feel it out,
Speaker 6: all right, I'm gonna.
Speaker 3: Call it right now.
Speaker 1: Okay, Hello, Hey is this Katie.

Speaker 7: I mean, I'm exiting another relationship right now.
Speaker 4: Oh oh, so things are a little messy right now.
Speaker 7: I mean, yeah, I don't really want to talk about
Speaker 7: it and ended a few weeks ago, but Justin just
Speaker 7: seems so like sweet and kind and like I just
Speaker 7: don't want to really get into it until i'm like
Speaker 7: fully unattached.
Speaker 4: That's good, Okay, that's actually yeah, So you actually liked him,
Speaker 4: you're just not calling him back because you didn't want
Speaker 4: that's like, I respect.
Speaker 5: It him, right.
Speaker 7: I don't know what you know about him, but he's
Speaker 7: a dork, but he's just really sweet. But he was
Speaker 7: just so honest and so kind and just so transparent,
Speaker 7: Like I just felt like I knew him. And I
Speaker 7: just also feel like I've gone out with so many
Speaker 7: people being crazy or a liar or they're hiding something,
Speaker 7: and it just feels like.
Speaker 3: We don't like anything.
Speaker 7: For once, like I was like, oh, okay, like this
Speaker 7: guy's actually.
Speaker 3: Really and all the cards on the table right up front.
Speaker 3: He sounds genuine, but we know he's.
Speaker 2: Like, well, I think he's pretty genuine.
Speaker 5: I will say he is very earnest.
Speaker 4: He does sound a little dorky in a sweet way.
Speaker 5: And I tell you, well, I'm with you, Jeff.
Speaker 1: I mean he was.
Speaker 5: Attractive, right, you were attracted to him still, Yeah, I.
Speaker 7: Mean it was kind of funny. We met in a
Speaker 7: community garden and he was just like, I don't know
Speaker 7: that he's particularly good at gardening. He was just like
Speaker 7: digging holes in the dirt.
Speaker 2: Yeah, if Justin were to hear the things that you
Speaker 2: were saying right now, he'd probably be really happy with
Speaker 2: your review of him and of your time spent together.
Speaker 5: He's a restaurant.
Speaker 2: But yeah, yeah, yeah, In fact, I don't have to
Speaker 2: guess if he liked it, because I could just ask
Speaker 2: him since he's on the other line right now listening
Speaker 2: and wanting to talk to you.
Speaker 6: I'm thrilled that you like me, hunk energy.
Speaker 7: Why didn't you tell me the phone?
Speaker 2: Well, we can't all be as honest and transparent as
Speaker 2: the justice of the world.
Speaker 3: You know, that's just that's more credit to him.
Speaker 6: And it's totally fine. I mean, like, I heard that
Speaker 6: you have an ex. I mean, I'm totally cool with that.
Speaker 6: I have like a million acts.
Speaker 1: Million Wow, very strange.
Speaker 7: A million acts.
Speaker 6: Huh Okay, it's like, literally, okay, four, I don't know
Speaker 6: that many days. How am I to have acted? I
Speaker 6: don't I literally have like one ex girlfriend. Okay, Actually,
Speaker 6: you know.
Speaker 3: I just closed the mouth for a second.
Speaker 6: Zero.
Speaker 7: It's just kind of a we're saying that you heard
Speaker 7: me say all that. But I really think that you're
Speaker 7: just a really sweet, honest person.
Speaker 6: That's true, Okay, I I the honesty I am. I
Speaker 6: am mostly honest. What you keep mentioning, I mean, I
Speaker 6: I do not like lying. I mean I did lie
Speaker 6: that I had a billion girlfriends ex girlfriends, and.
Speaker 1: It is a joke.
Speaker 6: And you know, uh, okay, here, I'm just going to
Speaker 6: say it.
Speaker 1: Here's the deal.
Speaker 6: I didn't go to that gardening community gardening because I
Speaker 6: like the garden. I knew you were going.
Speaker 1: To be there.
Speaker 6: Because Okay, my parents and your parents are on this
Speaker 6: dating app where they helped their single i'll get dates.
Speaker 6: Uh the mine.
Speaker 3: I don't think she.
Speaker 6: Your parents loves me. Your parents really love me?
Speaker 1: Oh my god.
Speaker 6: Approof of that? I mean, my parents approve your parents approved.
Speaker 1: Like, let's make this work.
Speaker 6: I know that this is weird.
Speaker 2: Justin, do you have to say everything just one piece
Speaker 2: of information at a time.
Speaker 4: Okay, can we just say real quickly, we really hoped
Speaker 4: that Katie, you already knew this.
Speaker 8: Yeah, well yeah, I just you know, like I could
Speaker 8: see why a dating app like that would work.
Speaker 5: Katie, just listen for a second. I mean, who knows
Speaker 5: you better than dad? Right? No, oh my god, that
Speaker 5: is not parent approved language, Katie.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna come to your side on that one. It's
Speaker 3: a little bit unusual. I will concede that. But Justin
Speaker 3: didn't know that his parents were setting him up either.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I actually didn't know.
Speaker 3: That's okay.
Speaker 6: I thought he's actually a great idea. I mean it's like,
Speaker 6: I do not meet any women. I see them all
Speaker 6: over the place, but I don't meet them. I'm not
Speaker 6: every dating app you could think of, nobody's wife.
Speaker 8: And Katie, listen, listen.
Speaker 4: You definitely have to have a conversation with your parents,
Speaker 4: and you can be angry at them, but this isn't
Speaker 4: Justin's fault.
Speaker 5: He he didn't make your parents do this.
Speaker 1: Some of this is Justin's fault, some of some of
Speaker 1: it he.
Speaker 4: Didn't say anything. Okay, well, maybe he just shows up
Speaker 4: in a garden digging home.
Speaker 3: But his heart was in a good place when he
Speaker 3: did it.
Speaker 7: Oh my god, absolutely like me.
Speaker 6: Like he complemented, yourshes your great guard I can learn
Speaker 6: from you. We're going to talk about you know what.
Speaker 2: It's at this point, Katie, that I would like to
Speaker 2: offer to send you to on another date, that we
Speaker 2: would pay for any restaurant in the city and far
Speaker 2: far away from both of your.
Speaker 3: Sets of parents.
Speaker 5: Give it one chance. I mean, that would make your
Speaker 5: parents so happy.
Speaker 1: Absolutely not.
Speaker 7: What about this would be any normal person? Are you crazy?
Speaker 3: Okay?
Speaker 2: All right, maybe it's a no right now, but maybe
Speaker 2: you should take some time to think about it, and
Speaker 2: if you want, we can organize so that you and
Speaker 2: Justin and both of your sets of parents can all
Speaker 2: have dinner.
Speaker 3: Family reunion John and Julie.
Speaker 5: I think, I mean, it sounds like they're lovely people.
Speaker 3: I know they're in for Yeah, they made you.
Speaker 1: I'm in What do you say? Give you much chances?
Speaker 6: Like many people have arrangements like we got married, just.
Speaker 3: Started off good, and then it's all right, We're still there.
Speaker 5: I think he's still there, Katie.
Speaker 2: We're running out of time here, so we need to
Speaker 2: get an answer from you, yes or no on another date.
Speaker 7: I'm absolutely not.
Speaker 3: Okay, well justin you're up to a million and one exes.
Speaker 6: Now my parents can give you a date. Well, I
Speaker 6: don't know.
Speaker 3: Those words have never been spoken before. My parents can't
Speaker 3: give me a day.
Speaker 1: Who can.
Speaker 2: Brook Jeffrey in the morning to say that she was
Speaker 2: not happy that her parents set her up would be
Speaker 2: a pretty big Understate one hundred.
Speaker 5: There is going to be a conversation in that family.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not. She was so thrown back by it.
Speaker 2: I mean, Brook, to imagine that it came out that
Speaker 2: your parents are actually the ones who set you and
Speaker 2: your husband Michael.
Speaker 3: Up all those years ago.
Speaker 2: Everybody knew about it except you. You wouldn't care.
Speaker 5: At this point. I'm so deep into it.
Speaker 6: Now.
Speaker 5: Yeah, if it was the second date, I'd be pissed,
Speaker 5: you know. Now, It's like, well, I do love him.
Speaker 5: I guess my mom knew.
Speaker 2: But in Justin's case, there's probably never been an example
Speaker 2: of someone who talked themselves out of a date faster
Speaker 2: than he did. Oh my god, I think there was
Speaker 2: like a five percent chance it still would have worked
Speaker 2: if he had just been quiet.
Speaker 5: I really was like, yeah, I.
Speaker 3: Just need a week or two to end this one thing,
Speaker 3: and I think I'm going to focus on him. Should
Speaker 3: end the call, yeap.
Speaker 5: His parents knew that he's his own worst enemy.
Speaker 1: The talking.
Speaker 2: Don't know why, but I just have a feeling that
Speaker 2: he's going to be back with us someday.
Speaker 4: I think probably sooner, ye like Justine, maybe in a
Speaker 4: couple of weeks, and we'll be ready for.
Speaker 5: Him, will be calling him to remember.
