Speaker 1: Hey, it's Brook and Jeffrey in the morning, and we've
Speaker 1: got a brand new second date today.
Speaker 2: And it's really proof why you need to keep your
Speaker 2: car clean.
Speaker 1: You know, this guy's date pulled something out from between
Speaker 1: the seats of his car that ruined literally their entire night.
Speaker 1: Oh no, yeah, I know, I know it's You're gonna
Speaker 1: hear it in just a second. We're gonna start, of course,
Speaker 1: always with your comments, though, what do you see, alexis Yeah,

Speaker 1: work every day with a heart emoji.

Speaker 2: get the boss to listen to Yeah, but let me
Speaker 2: tell you what just happened.
Speaker 1: You know exactly exactly there it is, and here is
Speaker 1: your brand new second date update, the second date update.
Speaker 3: For a lot of guys on the dating apps, coming
Speaker 3: up with the perfect opener is like painting the mona Lisa.
Speaker 4: Wow.
Speaker 5: Takes a lot of time.
Speaker 3: You just put something down, stand back, you study it
Speaker 3: at a little word here, just that line there.
Speaker 2: Take off the eyebrows there, Yeah, toss.
Speaker 3: In an extra emoji, delete that pun, and after four
Speaker 3: hours you finally send her. In four hours Hey, what's up?
Speaker 3: And no response.
Speaker 2: In there, which is so personal.
Speaker 5: You shouldn't have used the apostrophe.
Speaker 3: Is that what it was? I thought the three question
Speaker 3: marks we're gonna work. But today we have a listener
Speaker 3: who says he actually put in some work, real work,
Speaker 3: into figuring out an opening line with a sixty percent
Speaker 3: reply rate, which is extremely high for guys on these apps.
Speaker 3: And that's very very high.
Speaker 5: Nice.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, what's the average like two percent reply rate?
Speaker 3: Maybe lower?
Speaker 2: How many messages are you guys sendy?
Speaker 3: It's very difficult. His name is Carson, So Carson, welcome
Speaker 3: to the show man.
Speaker 6: How are you doing?
Speaker 4: Guys?
Speaker 2: Are you gonna let him deliver the line?
Speaker 3: Yeah? I don't know what the line is. I'm curious.
Speaker 3: I don't ever written, like, what kind of line are
Speaker 3: we working with here? Carson?
Speaker 6: Like we don't even need to talk? But I was
Speaker 6: wondering if you would critique my profile? I'm new here?
Speaker 7: Oh, oh, interact?
Speaker 3: Okay, what do you think about that? Alexis an invitation
Speaker 3: to critique his profile?
Speaker 7: I don't know, but looking at him up?
Speaker 2: Yeah, aren't they then looking at your profile with a
Speaker 2: negative view?
Speaker 1: That I'm gonna say because you're only going to pick
Speaker 1: out negative stuff to be funny about.
Speaker 5: You're not going to say, but it's a conversation.
Speaker 3: So Alexis is in the forty percent that would not
Speaker 3: reply to this because I probably.
Speaker 2: Reply something so rude that they don't apply back.
Speaker 3: Well, even this is terrible, even that, I mean, that's
Speaker 3: a response in itself. That's a win, right, Carson, even
Speaker 3: if it's mean.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean it did lead to someone. Her name
Speaker 6: is Lenne okay man.
Speaker 3: Okay, I said, yeah. What was her critique?
Speaker 6: She said, I should smile more in photos because I
Speaker 6: look too serious.
Speaker 2: Oh that's a nice one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, if you have a good smile, then you
Speaker 3: should be showing that off and women would like that.
Speaker 5: And pro tip, girls love it when you tell them
Speaker 5: that too.
Speaker 3: Yeah, smile more. You look so good when you smile
Speaker 3: just in the photos.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So did you send her a personal pick of you smiling?
Speaker 6: I did not. I said, well, you should see my
Speaker 6: smile in person, you said, okay.
Speaker 3: Oh, she said okay, and you're like, look to your
Speaker 3: left out your window right now.
Speaker 2: So what did you guys do for your date?
Speaker 6: Then I offered to pick her up? Oh. We ended
Speaker 6: up going to a steakhouse.
Speaker 1: If you're wanting to impress her with the steak dinner,
Speaker 1: I mean, you must really like this woman.
Speaker 6: You know what she's She's great.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 6: We went to the steakhouse. Things went really well. It
Speaker 6: was everything I hoped it would be.
Speaker 2: I want to hear some highlights.
Speaker 3: Did you smile at her the whole time?
Speaker 6: I tried to smile more.
Speaker 3: Yes, good, Okay.
Speaker 7: If it's too much.
Speaker 2: The day, what did you guys connect over?
Speaker 6: Well, she's a room in the sports I'm a big
Speaker 6: sports guy, so that that was an instant connection. We
Speaker 6: like similar kinds of music.
Speaker 3: I mean, it all sounds really good. There was nothing
Speaker 3: awkward that happened on the date.
Speaker 6: Everything was great. The awkward moment was on the way home. Okay,
Speaker 6: she saw something between the seats of my car and
Speaker 6: she reached down. She pulled it out and it was
Speaker 6: a canister of lipstick.
Speaker 3: No, I know, I.
Speaker 6: Know that looks really bad. It probably looked like I
Speaker 6: was on another date.
Speaker 5: You just tell her like, look, that's not my shade.
Speaker 3: A bit, I have mine at home.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, anyone could have dropped it in your car,
Speaker 1: fallen out of a pocket, sister or friend or what.
Speaker 2: Did she say?
Speaker 6: Well, she certainly wanted to know where it came from,
Speaker 6: and I was, I was. I was honest with her. Uh,
Speaker 6: you know I borrowed my ex girlfriend's car.
Speaker 2: Wait, you were driving your girlfriend's car.
Speaker 3: It wasn't your car.
Speaker 2: Oh No, that's worse than.
Speaker 3: Did that totally smooth everything over.
Speaker 6: For the conversation that you know mine was in the shop.
Speaker 6: I was trying to be straight up with her. Obviously,
Speaker 6: the vibe kind of change at that point.
Speaker 2: Why didn't you just say a friend?
Speaker 6: If I could go back and change it, I think
Speaker 6: I would that it. Yeah, it looked like I thought
Speaker 6: I was getting a good night kiss. Everything was great.
Speaker 6: Obviously that didn't happen. Yeah, that's why I'm here. I'm
Speaker 6: hoping maybe you guys can help me.
Speaker 5: Wait, and now she's not calling you back, like you
Speaker 5: haven't smoothed it over yet.
Speaker 6: No, I haven't heard from her since not a week
Speaker 6: or so.
Speaker 5: So everything was going good circumstance.
Speaker 2: What's the relationship with you and your ex? Before?
Speaker 3: We call her on good terms enough for her to
Speaker 3: the car?
Speaker 2: How good of terms?
Speaker 6: Like we were always friends? We tried to date it
Speaker 6: didn't work out, we're still friends.
Speaker 3: That's so cool.
Speaker 5: You guys can do that.
Speaker 2: Okay, that sounds when you try to date somebody.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I mean like you could describe her as
Speaker 1: a friend instead of an axe for Uyeah.
Speaker 2: Did you get a chance to explain that to leand I.
Speaker 6: Didn't get a chance to because we were so close
Speaker 6: to her house. Was kind of the end of it.
Speaker 3: Honestly, it's probably for the best. You don't probably want
Speaker 3: to be gloating about how great of a relationship you
Speaker 3: have with your ex girlfriend on a first date with somebody.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry. If you're driving her car, you're gonna want to.
Speaker 1: Explain something like it's better than we're still sleeping together.
Speaker 5: And what answer is good When you're like she's the
Speaker 5: best or you're like, oh I hate her.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're driving her car.
Speaker 2: I think it's a green flag. If someone can get
Speaker 2: along with their ex you know so well.
Speaker 6: That's why I'm hoping you guys can get her on
Speaker 6: the phone and help me explain that to her, because
Speaker 6: I don't know if she's gonna listen to me.
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm gonna let Brook tackle that.
Speaker 2: I say, I'm friends with all sorts of ex Yeah.
Speaker 3: For guy, what's wrong with him? Anyway? We'll call Leanne
Speaker 3: for you after this and try and help you get
Speaker 3: your second date update in just a minute. If you're
Speaker 3: just joining us, let's quickly recap Carson's first date with
Speaker 3: a little game of good or bad. Steakhouse dinner, good, idea, good,
Speaker 3: lots of smiling, good picking her up in your ex
Speaker 3: girlfriend's white Jetta. I don't know ever, So we're thinking
Speaker 3: that's probably the big red flag that's been scaring Leanne
Speaker 3: away from a second meet up with Carson. But Brooke
Speaker 3: wisely pointed out, actually it could be seen as a
Speaker 3: green flag that he doesn't have a toxic relationship with
Speaker 3: past love interests, right, Brook.
Speaker 1: I think that if you can be friends with an ex,
Speaker 1: it doesn't mean that you still have feelings for them.
Speaker 1: It's when you still have feelings is when things get
Speaker 1: dicey and you can't talk to them and you're angry
Speaker 1: and everything.
Speaker 3: Okay, but what about friends with benefits?
Speaker 2: Well, I mean it's an ex, it doesn't really count.
Speaker 3: All right, Carson? Does that feel good? Does it give
Speaker 3: you a little bit of hope before we make this call?
Speaker 1: I'm optimistic okay, but there's no benefits with your ex right, no, no, no.
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, good good.
Speaker 7: Well, besides the car, he doesn't get to borrow her car.
Speaker 2: I've met a different time.
Speaker 3: I'm not the physical type of So let's reach out
Speaker 3: to Leanne. Hopefully she picks up and we can explain
Speaker 3: this whole thing and get her to go out with
Speaker 3: you again. Okay, sounds great, good, right, now, let's do it.
Speaker 6: Hellene.
Speaker 3: Hey, is this Leanne?
Speaker 4: Yeah? This is her? Who's this?
Speaker 3: Well, this is actually us a whole ensemble of people
Speaker 3: called Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. We're a radio show.
Speaker 4: Good morning, good, good morning.
Speaker 5: Thanks for saying it back. People don't say it back.
Speaker 3: Appreciate.
Speaker 2: It's like when you say you're welcome. Thank you.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you're a nice person.
Speaker 3: We're hoping that this can be a good morning for
Speaker 3: you because we're doing something called a second date update.
Speaker 4: Okay, all right, you know I've seen it. I've seen
Speaker 4: social media.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so well, thank you for finding it on social media.
Speaker 2: You can go to a podcast too.
Speaker 3: She didn't sound like she liked it.
Speaker 7: It comes up in the algorithm.
Speaker 2: Look for always be promoting, all right.
Speaker 4: It's always a disaster. It's always some nightmare case.
Speaker 2: That's not true. No, that's not true.
Speaker 7: We only air the disaster, just the ones that go viral.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and we're hoping this is not one of those
Speaker 3: that you'll never even see this in your feed because
Speaker 3: we're reaching out based on a date you went with
Speaker 3: with a guy named Carson.
Speaker 4: Oh, okay, would you call it a disaster?
Speaker 2: Your day with Carson?
Speaker 4: I don't know Carson. Carson, what are you doing Carson exactly? Yeah.
Speaker 3: So we spoke to Carson earlier and he had really
Speaker 3: glowing reviews about the date. Just what we know from
Speaker 3: it is that you two connected on a dating app.
Speaker 3: You said you really liked his smile, had a nice
Speaker 3: dinner at a steakhouse. There was no kiss at the end.
Speaker 3: He was a little surprised by that, but no disappointed,
Speaker 3: I think disappointed. But now you're not open to another one.
Speaker 3: So he's trying to figure out if there's a reason.
Speaker 4: He must have left something out.
Speaker 3: I love something out.
Speaker 2: I think you did.
Speaker 4: Yeah you did, Actually, I mean I would be embarrassed.
Speaker 4: But he was driving his ex girlfriend's car.
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, yeah, he did tell us that. I just
Speaker 3: didn't want to recap that part in case it wasn't
Speaker 3: a big issue for you, So it.
Speaker 2: Was what was your reaction when he told you.
Speaker 4: That that's not okay? Why that's not okay? Like, okay,
Speaker 4: that just means that somewhat special in your life is
Speaker 4: still in your life.
Speaker 3: I mean, technically, okay, you feel threatened by the ex
Speaker 3: girlfriend a little bit.
Speaker 4: I know, not that I've just I've dated guys in
Speaker 4: similar situations and it always ends bad in my my
Speaker 4: personal situation.
Speaker 3: Well, that's okay that you can think that, but let
Speaker 3: brook explain to you why you're wrong.
Speaker 2: That's not what I'm trying to do.
Speaker 1: But I do think that you could maybe change your
Speaker 1: stance on a little bit if you thought of it
Speaker 1: more as like a green flag, Like here's a guy
Speaker 1: who still respects someone that he dated, that he that
Speaker 1: was he was close to, and it's good that they
Speaker 1: can still have a non romantic relationship. Right.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I guess I never considered it that way.
Speaker 2: I mean, have you ever had.
Speaker 1: A friend and then got your feelings kind of mixed
Speaker 1: up in that friendship? Like it's hard to have opposite
Speaker 1: gender friends because you're like, oh my god, how much
Speaker 1: do I like this person and then you try.
Speaker 2: Out dating and you're like, whoa, I didn't like him
Speaker 2: that much.
Speaker 3: Did you know that was the case with Carson, that
Speaker 3: he was friends with that girl first before they tried dating,
Speaker 3: and then it didn't work out.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they realized that they weren't meant to be together.
Speaker 4: I mean, no, no, I mean this is all kind
Speaker 4: of like a lot in general. But good point.
Speaker 2: Okay, Okay, look at you being a reasonable human?
Speaker 3: Love it?
Speaker 6: Okay?
Speaker 3: So so is that something that would maybe change your
Speaker 3: mind a little bit about possibly seeing him and giving
Speaker 3: him another chance.
Speaker 4: Possibly the radio person I don't know her name, but
Speaker 4: like she did bring up some pretty decent points, so.
Speaker 2: I feel like I didn't deliver that well.
Speaker 5: Her name was Alexis. Give her all the credits.
Speaker 3: I mean, this all sounds really good to us in
Speaker 3: the room here, but I bet it sounds even better
Speaker 3: to Carson, who's been quietly listening on the other line, hoping.
Speaker 1: To talk to your.
Speaker 4: Whole time. Are you kidding me?
Speaker 2: I can hear you smiling through the phone.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I think he's there. Carson.
Speaker 6: Hey, hey, guys, I'm here.
Speaker 4: What are you doing? What are you doing?
Speaker 2: What they were so cute.
Speaker 6: I felt a connection with you that I haven't felt
Speaker 6: with anybody, and I really want to try to make
Speaker 6: this work.
Speaker 5: That's adorable.
Speaker 4: That's really sweet to hear that from you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's not like those other guys that you dated
Speaker 1: that were yucky, you know, with their axes.
Speaker 6: Yeah things, yeah, yeah, Well look, I need to be
Speaker 6: one hundred percent honest with you. We're getting it all
Speaker 6: out there right now. Okay, I do live with I
Speaker 6: do live with my ax.
Speaker 3: Wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait, that's.
Speaker 6: How I was going to borrow the call.
Speaker 3: Hey, Brook, how dare you support this and say that
Speaker 3: it was total?
Speaker 7: He's like a sister.
Speaker 6: It's really not a big deal, you.
Speaker 1: Know.
Speaker 3: But they're in a good place now. Broke You said
Speaker 3: it yourself, Well, you don't live.
Speaker 7: With your axe.
Speaker 1: That's like that feels like you were living together and
Speaker 1: then you broke up and you never moved out.
Speaker 2: Did you move in together when you were in a relationship.
Speaker 6: I mean, I don't know, I don't really remember. There
Speaker 6: was a lot going on. It just kind of happened.
Speaker 6: I mean, it's like a timeshirt situation for us, which
Speaker 6: split the rent, we rotate the car, it's a.
Speaker 4: I think seriously, Like I told you guys, this is
Speaker 4: all disasters plan.
Speaker 6: Look trust me when I say this, it's not a disaster.
Speaker 2: Oh god, that's famous. Last words.
Speaker 6: Why don't you come over this weekend? We can we
Speaker 6: can hash it out. And it's my weekend to have
Speaker 6: the master bedroom.
Speaker 2: Wait what Oh, there's only one bedroom.
Speaker 3: That's a good living situation.
Speaker 6: It works for us. Don't judge.
Speaker 2: Wow, where do you sleep when you don't have the bedroom?
Speaker 6: I'm in the car and that's what it's for, a.
Speaker 3: Car slash bedroom.
Speaker 6: In your car only part time.
Speaker 3: And remember it's her car, not his.
Speaker 2: I have a headache. Yeah, I'm sorry about that whole
Speaker 2: green flag thing.
Speaker 3: No, it is a green flag. It's a green flag
Speaker 3: that he is such a good roommate, that is X
Speaker 3: doesn't even want to let him go. That's how awesome
Speaker 3: he is to live with.
Speaker 2: Dude, you share a bed that you guys rotate on
Speaker 2: the weekdays.
Speaker 6: Holda, we don't share the bed when she's in it.
Speaker 6: I'm not when I'm in it, she's not. We have
Speaker 6: a calendar, it's set.
Speaker 2: Up the bed. This organized community.
Speaker 3: I can't say it, man, Even Alexis is coming around
Speaker 3: on him now.
Speaker 6: So.
Speaker 4: I mean a nightmare.
Speaker 3: It could be your nightmare if you say yes to
Speaker 3: another date with Carson, and we would pay for that date.
Speaker 1: If you're open to your nightmare, if you say yes, No,
Speaker 1: it's not.
Speaker 5: Going to be a nightmare until it goes viral.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Oh, I don't want this to go viral. I
Speaker 4: don't want to go on another date.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 7: Yeah, if you're.
Speaker 5: If you're singers on socials.
Speaker 7: Do not come and do not like this.
Speaker 3: Oh man, Carson, it sounds like a no from Leanne. There.
Speaker 6: You know you didn't complain when I used the excess
Speaker 6: debit card to pay for dinner.
Speaker 2: Woa, get out of here.
Speaker 4: You never told me that.
Speaker 2: How would it come up in conversation?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: All right?
Speaker 3: Well wow, I mean, Carson, you were worried that the
Speaker 3: problem was that you picked her up in your ex's car,
Speaker 3: and turns out the issue is that you actually swap
Speaker 3: beds with your exes because you live together and.
Speaker 2: Your ex pace for every well half of half of
Speaker 2: the time.
Speaker 6: And then when you say it like that, I think
Speaker 6: I sound like a pretty good dude.
Speaker 3: You're a catch, buddy.
Speaker 2: Brooking Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 3: I mean, dude, how did Carson think that it was
Speaker 3: okay to withhold that information from us? In part one?
Speaker 7: Has he said him a lot of information.
Speaker 3: Because Brook literally asked him, what's your relationship with your ex? Like?
Speaker 3: And he said, oh, we're still friends. Didn't mention, oh, yeah,
Speaker 3: we share the same master bed off of a rotating
Speaker 3: calendar would have been a little bit of a different story.
Speaker 1: CROs If you have a one bedroom apartment, you can't
Speaker 1: call it a master bed.
Speaker 2: It's the only bed.
Speaker 5: I didn't want to call it an end because the
Speaker 5: more he's kept talking, the more independent he is.
Speaker 7: He is her debit card or carrush.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised, but honestly, just be truthful
Speaker 3: with us up front so Brooke doesn't come off looking
Speaker 3: as bad as she did.
Speaker 5: That poor girl didn't want us to hit the air
Speaker 5: and now because of.
Speaker 3: Him, you know, it's so and that's why I just
Speaker 3: want to be honest right now with all of our
Speaker 3: listeners and tell you the truth that we do have
Speaker 3: a Second Date podcast. It's real. Somehow it gets millions
Speaker 3: of downloads every month. Even I did not believe that.
Speaker 3: Go look for yourself, Brook showed me the numbers, so
Speaker 3: if you want to check it out and subscribe.
Speaker 7: And Brook always lies telling the truth, it's
Speaker 3: A green flag to listen to our podcast though Binge
Speaker 3: Away at Brook and Jeffrey
