Speaker 1: Second, Brook, imagine if you had to jump back into
Speaker 1: the dating pool. Oh like, for example, all right, let's
Speaker 1: say you were caught being unfaithful to your husband, Oh no,
Speaker 1: with your garbage. Guy Boone would go down. Just trying
Speaker 1: to be realistic. Here, you saw him out in front
Speaker 1: of your house heaving large bags of waist into that truck,
Speaker 1: and you just thought, God, I wish I was that trash.
Speaker 1: Can I do like a dirty man? Yeah? I will
Speaker 1: say that. And that all leads to things happening and
Speaker 1: suddenly you have to re enter the dating scene. How
Speaker 1: do you think you would do? I think I would
Speaker 1: be really disappointed. You are? I think you would be disappointed.
Speaker 1: That's interesting, Okay, I think I'm a oh yeah. The
Speaker 1: text words always funny with guys saying how Brook is?
Speaker 1: So that's Boone's friends. But the only reason I ask
Speaker 1: is because one of our listeners, Mike, just had to
Speaker 1: re enter the dating pool after going through a separation
Speaker 1: and it led him to us today. So Mike, welcome
Speaker 1: to the show. Hi. Hi, how are you? You don't
Speaker 1: happen to work in the waste management industry? Do you? No?
Speaker 1: But I'm I'm a huge fan. Have something in common
Speaker 1: of the show, not of waste management, you know that. Yeah, anyway,
Speaker 1: let's talk about the date that you went on the
Speaker 1: other night. Who is it with? So? I guess I
Speaker 1: should start with saying that, you know, recently divorced a
Speaker 1: little over a year ago. I'm a little out of practice, right,
Speaker 1: and I don't know. With all the apps and everything,
Speaker 1: it's it's sort of different. Yeah, it's changed, so sure quick.
Speaker 1: Nowadays everything is is this your first actual date since
Speaker 1: you're a divorce or have you gone on others? The
Speaker 1: first one and you know it was online? Well, this
Speaker 1: is the very first one. Whoa a lot of pressure,
Speaker 1: old man? Who's the person that you met online? Her
Speaker 1: name is Tanya and uh, I don't want to get
Speaker 1: two in the specifics, but she is a little younger
Speaker 1: than I am. Let's say, Okay, that always sounds like
Speaker 1: it's a lot younger. Yeah, the way you said that,
Speaker 1: we're talking legal here, right, Yeah, she's she's legal. But
Speaker 1: let's just say she's definitely younger than I am. Okay,
Speaker 1: you're making assumption here that you sound like you're in
Speaker 1: your mid thirties, and that's a weird age because you
Speaker 1: can date girls that are like twenty three, or you
Speaker 1: can date girls are like forty three. You're kind of
Speaker 1: in the middle at this point. Yeah, I'm put I'm
Speaker 1: pushing forty. But I was excited. And here's why. Because
Speaker 1: of her profile. It showed her as a devoted dog mom.
Speaker 1: So she sounds like a caring person and you know,
Speaker 1: having kids myself, if I'm going to try to hopefully
Speaker 1: end up with someone that's a caring person, right, Oh
Speaker 1: that's cute. So you were just going for it because
Speaker 1: she was like young and tight. Still nice, absa. So
Speaker 1: Tanya is young, beautiful, and loves dogs. These are all
Speaker 1: good things. Okay. Yeah, I'm not going to deny that
Speaker 1: she was easy on the eyes, you know. Okay, I
Speaker 1: want to get into the actual date with Tanya. Tell
Speaker 1: us where you went. How did it go? So we
Speaker 1: met up for dreams, just to get to know each other,
Speaker 1: and it sort of naturally came up that I've been
Speaker 1: married before. But you know, honestly, she didn't seem bothered
Speaker 1: by that's really good. But but but we were interrupted
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, not your act. Yeah no, no,
Speaker 1: it wasn't. Okay, but the guy that comes up is
Speaker 1: my life insurance I, oh, do you feel really old?
Speaker 1: My life insurance guy? Yeah, I mean it just bumped
Speaker 1: you from like late thirties. You had a guy for
Speaker 1: that late fifties, and so he I guess he'd had
Speaker 1: a few dreams because he he was like to sell
Speaker 1: me right then, and they're like, oh, you know, for
Speaker 1: ten dollars more a month, you can have term life
Speaker 1: insurance and blah blah blah. God man in front of Tanya. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but she was cool. She was laughing about it. And
Speaker 1: then you know, I said, let's get out of here,
Speaker 1: and I asked her if she wanted to come to
Speaker 1: my place and you know, watch a movie or something,
Speaker 1: and she was into it. She said, yeah, okay, Oh,
Speaker 1: this first date is going quite well for you. It's
Speaker 1: like his first date back on the scene and he's
Speaker 1: just making it happen. Yeah. I know, I'm thinking, oh wow,
Speaker 1: this is this is awesome. And then we get home
Speaker 1: to my placehand asked her if she wanted some wine
Speaker 1: or something, but then she's like, um, it's like really,
Speaker 1: it's a lot later than I thought, so I should
Speaker 1: probably go who's the old person? That's really weird? Why
Speaker 1: would she do that? That's what I was wondering, you know,
Speaker 1: because it's like your face just it totally changed when
Speaker 1: we walked in. And then I looked around the living
Speaker 1: room and thinking was it something embarrassing or something I
Speaker 1: left out? But everything seemed okay. So like I'm thinking,
Speaker 1: you're a recently divorced guy, Like does the apartment look
Speaker 1: like you're a squatter or something, you know, like a
Speaker 1: bed on the I don't think that would scare a
Speaker 1: young girl off though, pictures. No, I was worried about, Yeah,
Speaker 1: exactly that pictures or you know, no, it's clean, you
Speaker 1: don't have a cleaning person. And so I'm racking my brain,
Speaker 1: like what was it? You know, I want to know too.
Speaker 1: I'm here. So she just left after that, and you
Speaker 1: have you talked to her since? No, not tried texting, calling, whatever.
Speaker 1: And the thing is on this one, you need to
Speaker 1: know if there's something weird in this place, like you're
Speaker 1: just beginning dating, if you're going to bring other women
Speaker 1: back to your maybe to change whatever she saw. That's
Speaker 1: a good point. I want the feedback totally. Maybe. Tanya
Speaker 1: took out her phone and googled what term life insurance
Speaker 1: was and realized how old you truly are, and it
Speaker 1: stared her off. But we're gonna find out for sure
Speaker 1: when we call her and get your second date update
Speaker 1: right after this. Okay, okay, thank you, thank you though,
Speaker 1: thank you all right, hold on. You know, during the break,
Speaker 1: Brooke pulled me aside and said she has a problem
Speaker 1: with older men dating much younger girls. But while she
Speaker 1: was talking to me, one of the young fit promo
Speaker 1: boys and she looked at him like he was a
Speaker 1: giant Reese's peanut butter cup. She was licking her lips.
Speaker 1: Her giant glasses fogged right up. Oh man, So to
Speaker 1: all the ladies on the text board right now at
Speaker 1: seven eighty five to nine two, saying he shouldn't be
Speaker 1: dating someone ten years younger, maybe direct your advice to Brook.
Speaker 1: Get you some of that peanut butter because even though
Speaker 1: she's married, doesn't mean Brook can't peruse the menu. Mama
Speaker 1: wants to see the special of the day. He's just
Speaker 1: not gonna order it. But the reason why we bring
Speaker 1: that up is because one of our listeners, Mike, went
Speaker 1: out with a woman who's a few years younger than
Speaker 1: him and ended up having a great time until they
Speaker 1: got back to his house. Where she started acting a
Speaker 1: little bit weird. We're gonna try and help figure out
Speaker 1: the reason why, Mike. You ready, yes, Oh my god,
Speaker 1: I've been thinking about it. Maybe it's because you offered
Speaker 1: her wine instead of Alexis's favorite white claw exactly. Maybe
Speaker 1: she was like, this guy doesn't get me. I'm out true.
Speaker 1: I wish I knew what it is. Maybe she was
Speaker 1: worried that you were going to card her, but only
Speaker 1: one way to find out is by just asking her directly.
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna dial her number right now. Here we go. Okay, okay, okay,
Speaker 1: And remember this is Mike's first online date that he's
Speaker 1: ever had since his divorce happened a few years back.
Speaker 1: Soar okay. Well, I'm just saying thank you for the
Speaker 1: fact check. Here we go. Let's call Tanya. Hello. Hey
Speaker 1: is this Tanya? Yes, mister, Hey Tanya. How's it going?
Speaker 1: My name is jeff from the radio show Brook and
Speaker 1: Jeffrey in the Morning. Oh, I've never been called by
Speaker 1: a radio so you might be familiar with us. I
Speaker 1: do these awesome parody songs every week. Have you heard
Speaker 1: about them? Young Jeffrey Song of the Week? Um, I
Speaker 1: may have heard it but I wouldn't be able to
Speaker 1: be like, yeah, totally. I can tell she's she's intimidated.
Speaker 1: Don't be intimidated. He's not going to sing to you
Speaker 1: if it makes you feel better, Tanya, un you want
Speaker 1: me to? Okay, the real reason we're calling is because
Speaker 1: we're doing a segment called a second Date Update. Have
Speaker 1: you ever heard of that before? Um? No? Yeah? All right,
Speaker 1: now we're getting the honest. I like that. That's all
Speaker 1: we need. It's where we help our listeners who've gone
Speaker 1: out on a date recently figure out the reason why
Speaker 1: they're getting ghosted. Okay, all right. And so the other
Speaker 1: day you went out with a guy named Mike. Yeah
Speaker 1: all right, you remember Mike? Yeah? I remember Mike. Okay.
Speaker 1: So we've spoke to Mike about the hangout that you
Speaker 1: guys had going to the bar, and we want to
Speaker 1: get your perspective on it. How was it for you? Um?
Speaker 1: You just want me to tell you about the date,
Speaker 1: or just like about your feelings about him too, you know,
Speaker 1: like did you have fun? We could start there like, okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: I had fun. I mean he's very nice, very personable,
Speaker 1: So why aren't you dating him anymore? Stop Jeffrey. Sorry
Speaker 1: getting there. I know these are all good things. I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: there was nothing wrong with him, Like he was fine.
Speaker 1: He really was. I would definitely have gone out with him. Um,
Speaker 1: he thought you were very fine too, if you just
Speaker 1: want Okay, So what change? I mean, you're not calling
Speaker 1: it back? Why why did that change? Well, like I said,
Speaker 1: it went well, and I actually went back to his
Speaker 1: place with him. We were going to watch a movie
Speaker 1: and then everything kind of just fell apart and I
Speaker 1: had to leave right then and there. I was like,
Speaker 1: I gotta go. Oh, yeah, we heard that happen, but
Speaker 1: I don't think Mike knows the reason why. Yeah. Uh okay.
Speaker 1: So when we pulled up, I really didn't recognize anything.
Speaker 1: I didn't think of having been there before. Um, but
Speaker 1: we get into the house and I immediately know I've
Speaker 1: been here before. You've been in his house before. I
Speaker 1: have been in his house before. What are you Mike
Speaker 1: sex wife? No, definitely not his ex wife, but I
Speaker 1: have met his ex wife. Wait you okay, about five
Speaker 1: years ago. I actually used to babysit kids in that house,
Speaker 1: a baby. They must have been separated because Mike didn't
Speaker 1: live there, Like I never saw a guy. It was
Speaker 1: just the mom, just the kids, and I used to
Speaker 1: babysit them for like almost a year. Whoa, I never
Speaker 1: met him. But as soon as I got to that house,
Speaker 1: I saw the living room, I saw the paintings on
Speaker 1: the wall and they're like pictures, and I was like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, I know these kids. So it was
Speaker 1: just so awkward because like, how am I gonna ever
Speaker 1: meet these kids then be like, and now I'm dating
Speaker 1: your dad? Well, you know, at least you know the
Speaker 1: kids like you they did, Like maybe it's been five years.
Speaker 1: They're all grown up. They're gonna hate me. They're gonna
Speaker 1: be like, what a home record? And I'm gonna be like,
Speaker 1: you did this. It was like the long con but like,
Speaker 1: I can't you're saying that they're going to assume that you,
Speaker 1: like we're having an affair or something. That was the
Speaker 1: first thing that came into my head. I was like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, these kids are gonna hate me. I
Speaker 1: have to get out of here. But once you had
Speaker 1: that realization, why didn't you tell Mike that? Why did
Speaker 1: you just leave? Because it like it left him not
Speaker 1: knowing what happened. I felt really really awkward and I
Speaker 1: felt embarrassed, and I honestly didn't really know how to
Speaker 1: handle the situation, so I just felt like I gotta
Speaker 1: get out of here. Well, I think I know how
Speaker 1: to handle the situation, and that's by putting you in
Speaker 1: direct contact with Mike right now, because he's on the
Speaker 1: other line listening. Are you serious, I'm serious. He wants
Speaker 1: to talk to you. Mike. Are you there? Yoh, oh
Speaker 1: my goodness, Oh wow, wow. I really you're a great guy.
Speaker 1: It was not thing about you. It was just the
Speaker 1: fact that I've like given your kids bad Yeah, this
Speaker 1: is this is a crazy this is the weirdest thing that.
Speaker 1: Oh I can't believe it. You weren't living there, right,
Speaker 1: Like I didn't just not see you, because that would
Speaker 1: be probably even worse, right, No, no, I you know. Basically,
Speaker 1: the arrangement was that I was out of the house
Speaker 1: after we separated, and in the final divorce, I ended
Speaker 1: up getting the house. That's why I have it now.
Speaker 1: I mean, but Mike, do you see this as a
Speaker 1: deal breaker, because I know you're making a bunch of
Speaker 1: assumptions Tanya about like what his family will think about you,
Speaker 1: But you don't even know why they got divorced. Maybe
Speaker 1: it's his ex wife that asked for the divorce. I
Speaker 1: don't know. It was just the first thing that I thought, Mike,
Speaker 1: now that you know all this, like, what are your thoughts? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think this is actually positive. I
Speaker 1: think it's a great news. I mean, she already knows
Speaker 1: my kids, and you know, you already know how to
Speaker 1: get to the house where the silver drawer is, how
Speaker 1: to do that. You're really familiar with the kitchen, you know. Okay,
Speaker 1: and in a few years Mike's going to need help bathing.
Speaker 1: You can help him out with that. Put everyone no,
Speaker 1: no on. Maybe it sounds Tanya like he's not concerned about,
Speaker 1: you know, his kids hating you. It sounds the opposite.
Speaker 1: I mean this that's cool. But I was just kind
Speaker 1: of thinking this was a date or two or and
Speaker 1: maybe leading to something. And now I'm like a second
Speaker 1: mom because I know where the kitchen is, Like I
Speaker 1: don't know where to go from here. Yeah, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: you got to take these things a little, you know,
Speaker 1: a day at a time. I'm not saying, oh, move
Speaker 1: in now, I'm just saying that if it ultimately gets
Speaker 1: to that point, don't talk about on getting that second
Speaker 1: date because I know for Mike, I bet nothing would
Speaker 1: feel better than showing up to his ex's house with
Speaker 1: their babysitter as his new girl. Crazy. Yeah, it's crazy sexy. Jeffrey.
Speaker 1: I mean, at this point, I just need to ask you, Tanya,
Speaker 1: would you like to go out on another day with
Speaker 1: Mike because we'll pay for it. Um. I mean, it's
Speaker 1: definitely weird, but it's kind of cool weird, and I
Speaker 1: don't know, maybe this is kind of like the movie moment.
Speaker 1: Let's let's try it. What kind of movie? I don't
Speaker 1: not that kind of movie. Ye, okay, well, congratulations you too.
Speaker 1: It sounds like you guys are going to go out again. Okay,
Speaker 1: all right. I was gonna say the movie would be
Speaker 1: Fatal Attraction, but Tanya probably doesn't even know what that is.
Speaker 1: I know what that is, family movie. I think that
Speaker 1: that ends, well, doesn't something. I think it ends in
Speaker 1: a separation. I to like trying let's not have a
Speaker 1: long ago. It's it's a long time of God. I
Speaker 1: didn't think we could get any sexier, but we did
Speaker 1: it and Jeffrey in the morning, So look, I'm I'm
Speaker 1: happy that we got a second date from Mike there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but listening to the way that conversation went between them,
Speaker 1: I have a hard time believing that their first date
Speaker 1: actually went well. You didn't think it felt a little awkward? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think Mike is maybe still like shaking off the
Speaker 1: rust for getting back into the dating pool, or maybe
Speaker 1: it's just such a big egge gap that he's now
Speaker 1: dating his old babysitter, you know, like his kids old babysitter.
Speaker 1: He sounded a little bit intimidated by that actually should be. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think that that's a good place for him to stay.
Speaker 1: You think all men should be in fear when they
Speaker 1: go out on fair just you know, alert, respectful that way,
Speaker 1: it's a good word for it. But I mean, date
Speaker 1: number two is definitely going to be interesting between the
Speaker 1: two of them, to say the least, especially when the
Speaker 1: X wife finds out about it. Oh, I want to
Speaker 1: be on that phone call. I didn't care. I don't,
Speaker 1: I don't. Okay, that's too much drama for me. Well, remember,
Speaker 1: if you ever want to get a second date update,
Speaker 1: you can always email the show. We'll call the person
Speaker 1: who wasn't calling you back. Broke and Jeffrey in the
Speaker 1: morning
