Speaker 1: It's Brook and Jeffrey in the Morning, and our listeners
Speaker 1: have given us so.
Speaker 2: Much this year.
Speaker 1: Mean honestly, thank you for all the listens, all the
Speaker 1: comments and feedback. Thank you to the strange men who
Speaker 1: found Alexus's Amazon wish list and made.
Speaker 2: Her dreams come true this year.
Speaker 1: To you, really, and we just felt like we had
Speaker 1: to do something nice back for the listeners.
Speaker 3: I know, I mean honestly, they they're the ones that
Speaker 3: help jeff take down Julia Louis Dreyfus's.
Speaker 2: And all of us took down it. It was a
Speaker 2: team effort led mostly by the way. Did you even
Speaker 2: bring it up? Brook, I should know.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but we wanted to thank you and do
Speaker 1: something special. That's why today we're going to start a
Speaker 1: countdown of the top ten second Date updates. This is
Speaker 1: our special gift to you because it's one hundred percent
Speaker 1: free and we had to do very little effort for it.
Speaker 2: So please don't complain about the ads, just skip up, just.
Speaker 1: Give forward, and we're going to start with number ten,
Speaker 1: which is titled Finding Nemo Losing Date. It's the movie
Speaker 1: Pixar would have made if they wanted to make all
Speaker 1: the children cry.
Speaker 2: And sit back and enjoy number ten.
Speaker 1: Second date Update, Second date Update.
Speaker 2: That's a guy.
Speaker 1: I can think of a lot of qualities that men
Speaker 1: might be looking for in a female companion. You know,
Speaker 1: someone who's sweet, who likes to laugh. Didn't hear any
Speaker 1: laughter from the ladies in the continue, but extra toe
Speaker 1: wouldn't say no to that. You never know when you
Speaker 1: need a really good backscratch.
Speaker 2: Just tossed that foot in their get to work. You
Speaker 2: know what they say, the extra clo.
Speaker 1: But maybe the number one sexiest quality a woman can
Speaker 1: have from a guy's perspective is somebody who is low maintenance.
Speaker 1: And apparently that from a guy's perspective. I know the
Speaker 1: ladies aren't going to understand that.
Speaker 2: No, yeah, perpetive, but okay, apparently.
Speaker 1: That's what one of our listeners, Eddie found recently from
Speaker 1: his date, who, in typical low maintenance fashion, is not
Speaker 1: calling him. I apologize for her actions. I do not
Speaker 1: think they're warranted.
Speaker 3: Okay, you haven't heard anything about his date.
Speaker 1: I am already on Eddie's side.
Speaker 3: How does that feel, Eddie? Oh my god, you guys
Speaker 3: are like bro bonded or something. Right now, where'd you
Speaker 3: find this low maintenance woman.
Speaker 4: So we met online on one of those chat sites you.
Speaker 2: Know, Okay, low maintenance girls Dot.
Speaker 1: Coming right now, Joe, Yeah, alder site.
Speaker 2: They're on like once a year. You can only catch
Speaker 2: them be on there all the time.
Speaker 1: But year.
Speaker 2: What's this low maintenance woman's name?
Speaker 4: Melanie?
Speaker 3: Melanie? Okay, I mean, did you know from the beginning
Speaker 3: that she was someone that I mean that you were
Speaker 3: looking for?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 5: Well, you know what I really liked on her profile
Speaker 5: it said that she was low maintenance, so that that
Speaker 5: was a gem for me.
Speaker 4: So I was like, you know what, prove it?
Speaker 3: Oh, no, that really sounds like you're high maintenance.
Speaker 2: You can't say that, Eddie.
Speaker 5: No, no, So I asked, I asked, you know, do
Speaker 5: you want to do a fancy cooking class or play?
Speaker 5: She said, we can, but that's not really her thing.
Speaker 5: She said, Literally, if you want to grab food and
Speaker 5: just watch a movie in the back of your car, I'm.
Speaker 4: Up for it.
Speaker 3: In the back of your car on your phone, I.
Speaker 2: Watch the movie.
Speaker 4: Definitely had to be creative, Okay. I decided to test it.
Speaker 5: So we ended up meeting in one of those parking
Speaker 5: lots outside windows outdoor mall.
Speaker 2: It's also so sketchy. Are you really going with the
Speaker 2: back seat of the car idea?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I had to test it.
Speaker 2: Okay, that's why she's not called here. She actually came.
Speaker 4: Yeah, she showed up. She gave me a big hug,
Speaker 4: and she did look like her pictures.
Speaker 1: That's great, But did you ever warn her that this
Speaker 1: was actually the date that you had planned?
Speaker 4: I want her to be a surprise.
Speaker 3: No, surprises are typically good things, like you put thought
Speaker 3: into stuff.
Speaker 2: Look, I like her already. I love low maintenance. But
Speaker 2: I think she was saying it as a joke.
Speaker 3: And low maintenance doesn't mean you don't want to have
Speaker 3: someone that's thoughtful.
Speaker 2: Yet I don't.
Speaker 1: Know, we're already getting all judgmental. We should figure out
Speaker 1: what happened when you showed her what the date was.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so I said I had a surprise for her.
Speaker 5: I took my car, opened the back door, and then
Speaker 5: right there there's three big bags of wind beats. You know,
Speaker 5: I was being thoughtful. And then I had finding Nemo,
Speaker 5: playing a portable DVD, play.
Speaker 3: A mole parking lot, the smell of the fast food
Speaker 3: in a car.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
Speaker 3: It just never sells good unless you're the one that
Speaker 3: orders it and brings it in.
Speaker 1: This comes from all the high maintenance women in this
Speaker 1: never satisfied with.
Speaker 2: The like did she laugh?
Speaker 3: What did she say?
Speaker 2: Blown away? Obviously?
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, she laughed. But she wouldn't get in.
Speaker 6: Yeah, no, Eddy, I mean even the movie choice is
Speaker 6: kind of predatory, you know, like feeling.
Speaker 2: It's a Disney movie broke. Yeah, this is all Red
Speaker 2: Flags company. Really did she.
Speaker 1: Get in because she had to push the other teenager
Speaker 1: out of.
Speaker 2: The way exactly.
Speaker 4: She says she doesn't really know me yet.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, okay, I look at that. She's smart. She's
Speaker 2: thinking this through at least. Yeah, I didn't think of that.
Speaker 3: You're did you have a plan?
Speaker 5: B So we went to a barn next door, each
Speaker 5: had a beer, and I teached her. I was like,
Speaker 5: you know, the Windy's just getting cold.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, the.
Speaker 6: First thing you guys did.
Speaker 3: You're not still pushing the Windys.
Speaker 2: You need to give up on the Windys man.
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, well it.
Speaker 5: Worked because a few minutes later we were in the
Speaker 5: back seat watchdn't find a new MOODE what beer?
Speaker 2: And she says, yes, to talk to this guy.
Speaker 4: We had our burgers.
Speaker 5: We had our frost sees you know, how is that
Speaker 5: not melted?
Speaker 2: Can you just let them get through one sentence without judging? Okay,
Speaker 2: you slurped through the straw?
Speaker 3: Then what Eddie.
Speaker 5: It wasn't like we were in a movie theater. We've
Speaker 5: both seen the movie, so we could talk through it.
Speaker 2: That's true. Sometimes that's okay.
Speaker 3: So you're hanging now.
Speaker 2: Is she feeling safe and comfortable with you?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 5: I think so, but it was it was a little
Speaker 5: weird because it was good, but we didn't get to
Speaker 5: the end of the movie, like about three quarters into
Speaker 5: the movie.
Speaker 4: Movie. She says she had to go.
Speaker 3: That's like an hour into the movie.
Speaker 2: My friend, I mean she said that she was there
Speaker 2: a while.
Speaker 5: Yeah, she was, and I was okay with it because
Speaker 5: after so much fast food. Look, you don't want to
Speaker 5: sit next to me, wind.
Speaker 2: To come to get date. Okay, it's Wendy's. It is
Speaker 2: a delight.
Speaker 1: But okay, it sounds like you felt like you left
Speaker 1: it on an okay note, Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I thought we did. So I walked into her car.
Speaker 4: I gave her a hug.
Speaker 5: But for some reason I haven't heard from her since window.
Speaker 2: It's a fro movie. He walks into her fred drink.
Speaker 3: I mean, did you really truly feel like you guys
Speaker 3: had a connection though, Eddie. That's that's what matters. I mean,
Speaker 3: I know I'm making fun of you for the finding
Speaker 3: Nemo and the interesting choices.
Speaker 4: But you know, I really think that we did.
Speaker 1: And you said that she's low maintenance, so maybe she's
Speaker 1: playing the really really low maintenance slow game here. I
Speaker 1: just hope that she answers the phone when we call
Speaker 1: her and get your second date update.
Speaker 2: Right, next second date update.
Speaker 1: Man, even when a guy does absolutely everything right, women
Speaker 1: they just have this way to find something wrong and
Speaker 1: spin it.
Speaker 2: Against so picky.
Speaker 6: You are so demanding.
Speaker 1: Thank you for finally saying I'm bringing it up because
Speaker 1: one of our listeners, Eddie took out a woman named Melanie,
Speaker 1: who described herself as low maintenance, and she told him
Speaker 1: I'm the type of gal who'd be happy just eating
Speaker 1: fast food in the back of a car while watching
Speaker 1: a movie. But then, of course, when Eddie shows up
Speaker 1: with three bags of Wendy's and finding Nemo on Blu Ray.
Speaker 2: In his s uv, Melanie and all the ladies in
Speaker 2: the room.
Speaker 1: Go, well, obviously she didn't mean watch a movie in
Speaker 1: the car.
Speaker 3: What come?
Speaker 1: We're just taking you literally at what you're saying, and
Speaker 1: now we're trying to figure out if Eddie took things
Speaker 1: too literally. Brooke, I don't know what advice do you
Speaker 1: have for Eddie that he needs to decipher what you
Speaker 1: really mean.
Speaker 2: Eddie, I think one of.
Speaker 3: The like hard pieces for me listening to you to
Speaker 3: describe your date was how you kept saying I was
Speaker 3: testing her. Like that's always something is like, ugh, that
Speaker 3: feels so bad.
Speaker 5: You know, I've been on so many dates with women
Speaker 5: that say that and they're pretty high maintenance and they
Speaker 5: just don't know it.
Speaker 3: Okay that' did you? Did you tell her that you
Speaker 3: were testing her though, Like, I'm wondering if that was
Speaker 3: maybe part of the problem.
Speaker 4: I definitely wouldn't do that.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, works really well when you're like, hey, by
Speaker 1: the way, this is a big test.
Speaker 2: So you got her answer right.
Speaker 3: Easily said in the back, Hey, I was just doing
Speaker 3: this date because you said you were a low maintenance
Speaker 3: and I just wanted to see if that was right.
Speaker 2: And that would have come off sexy to you.
Speaker 3: If he said that, then if that's why she's not
Speaker 3: calling him back.
Speaker 2: He's damned if he does. He's damned if he doesn't
Speaker 2: like your full.
Speaker 1: Date, a terrible date that she suggested do him and
Speaker 1: he just listened to.
Speaker 2: But what do we know? Let's just call her in here,
Speaker 2: which she asked to say, you're ready to do this? Eddie?
Speaker 4: All right? Here we go.
Speaker 2: Hello. Hey is this Melanie?
Speaker 6: This is she?
Speaker 2: Aame Melanie.
Speaker 1: My name is jeff from the radio show brook and
Speaker 1: Jeffrey in the Morning.
Speaker 2: I had to feel like Brooks should take it from here.
Speaker 2: What I screwed it up?
Speaker 6: Because I giggled, Melanie, I'm I'm good. What can I
Speaker 6: do for you?
Speaker 3: Great question?
Speaker 1: Yeah, well it's not really what you could do for us,
Speaker 1: but what you could do for one of our listeners
Speaker 1: that you went out on a date with named Eddie.
Speaker 6: Okay, and who is this again?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 2: Who am I?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 2: We're brooking Jeffrey in the Morning.
Speaker 1: We're a radio show, and we're trying to help Eddie
Speaker 1: figure out what went wrong or if anything did go
Speaker 1: wrong on your date, because he told us a little
Speaker 1: bit about it. He's not sure if he made some mistakes.
Speaker 1: But we just like to know what you think of Eddie.
Speaker 6: You know, I guess. When I first met him, I
Speaker 6: thought that he was.
Speaker 4: Kind of funny.
Speaker 3: Okay, can I just ask, Like, you show up to
Speaker 3: a mall parking lot and this guy opens the door
Speaker 3: and he's got Finding Nemo and Wendy's in the back seat.
Speaker 3: What are you thinking.
Speaker 5: In that moment?
Speaker 6: I kind of I kind of had that lady feeling
Speaker 6: of like I put myself in this situation because I
Speaker 6: made a joke.
Speaker 3: It was a joke.
Speaker 2: It was a joke. Did you say before you told him?
Speaker 3: Though?
Speaker 2: By the way, what I'm about to tell you as
Speaker 2: a joke.
Speaker 3: Oh, It's always fun to be with someone that you
Speaker 3: have to establish what is a joke and what isn't
Speaker 3: every time you talk.
Speaker 6: I wanted to give him the benefit of a doubt
Speaker 6: because I don't know, Texting is hard, and like maybe
Speaker 6: it was just interpreted. You know, We've been getting along
Speaker 6: as we've been talking, you know, online, and I just
Speaker 6: figured it might as well be worth it to take
Speaker 6: the shot. We had our food back there, and it
Speaker 6: seemed like it was kind of fun at first, but
Speaker 6: the vibe just changed like drastically once the movie started.
Speaker 3: What do you mean once Finding Nemo came on?
Speaker 2: Is that what it was.
Speaker 6: I definitely will remember that it's called finding Nemo, because
Speaker 6: that was one of the big issues that he kept
Speaker 6: coming back to. He was getting like super agitated by
Speaker 6: the storyline. He was agitated, oh, to a point where
Speaker 6: he was like changing color in his face, like why
Speaker 6: can't they find that damn fish? And like that.
Speaker 2: Where the hell is it?
Speaker 1: We need to get a private investigator on this because
Speaker 1: is taken too long?
Speaker 3: Was that a joke that I mean, maybe you guys
Speaker 3: just don't understanding type each other's type of humor, right.
Speaker 6: And listen, And when I say I'm lone maintenance, I
Speaker 6: mean like I try to give people the benefit of
Speaker 6: the doubt. I'm not holding a lot of judgment. But
Speaker 6: this guy would not let this go. He's just he
Speaker 6: was getting heated and like he's over there ranting and
Speaker 6: raving about how it should be called losing Nemo and
Speaker 6: but but the thing is that was weird. But he
Speaker 6: turned off the TV and then he suggested that I
Speaker 6: could help him find the real Nemo in the back seat,
Speaker 6: and I just, well.
Speaker 3: Is that like he's like, I've hid in a fish?
Speaker 2: What does that mean?
Speaker 3: Was he like it was it a sex is that what?
Speaker 6: I don't know. It just went from like a little
Speaker 6: awkward first date misunderstandings to like really creepy, really fast.
Speaker 6: That kind of sealed the deal.
Speaker 1: Okay, well, there's been a lot of misunderstandings happening this
Speaker 1: entire I don't know, there's a lot of misunderstandings, and
Speaker 1: maybe we should actually give Eddie a chance to explain himself,
Speaker 1: because Melanie, he's actually on the other line listening right
Speaker 1: now and he wants to talk to you.
Speaker 6: I'm sorry, he's like on the phone.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I think he needed to hear that to be honest.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Eddie there, yep, right here?
Speaker 3: Are you dying of embarrassment? Eddie?
Speaker 4: Now?
Speaker 5: I mean, look, there's a lot of emotions in that movie.
Speaker 4: You know. It just turned me on?
Speaker 6: Wait what wait?
Speaker 3: What turns on?
Speaker 4: There's just so much emotion. I mean, how can I
Speaker 4: not be turned on?
Speaker 5: You know? Look, as a guy, it's hard to be
Speaker 5: smooth and funny and not get judged. And you know
Speaker 5: what I feel, judge right now?
Speaker 1: You were smooth or funny, though you're saying that you
Speaker 1: were like using a pickup line on her with you
Speaker 1: want to find Nemo in the back seat.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, trying to be smooth, trying to be funny.
Speaker 2: Look, I.
Speaker 1: Can identify with that that sometimes it's hard to think
Speaker 1: of the smooth line in the middle of the date,
Speaker 1: especially when you have a Disney movie on Golden rule.
Speaker 3: Just stay away from using Disney and sexual windows in
Speaker 3: the same sentence.
Speaker 2: There's a way that it can be.
Speaker 3: Don't do it.
Speaker 2: I have the star that you can wish upon.
Speaker 3: Don't you, tinker Bell.
Speaker 2: I'm just trying to help our listener here.
Speaker 5: Somehow, I think I think I think maybe we were
Speaker 5: just miscommunicating.
Speaker 4: You know what, how about we do a redo.
Speaker 5: We can do a reo, and I promise you if
Speaker 5: we watch a movie like Finding Dory that does nothing
Speaker 5: for me, you know, so.
Speaker 2: I hope that Frish stops.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's so stupiderous fan, Okay.
Speaker 2: Melanie, I mean, how to hearing all that make you feel?
Speaker 6: I think I am just not the right fish in
Speaker 6: your sea.
Speaker 1: Ni's it works when you're shutting somebody.
Speaker 4: Down, Are you sure? Because there's not a lot of
Speaker 4: fish like me.
Speaker 2: It was pretty rare. I feel maybe aren't there like
Speaker 2: a ton of the melodies.
Speaker 6: I gotta tell you, you're you're a pretty common fish,
Speaker 6: my friend.
Speaker 3: I think you got the clown fish right. Yeah? Is
Speaker 3: that what you're feeling like, Eddie? Are you doing okay?
Speaker 3: You learn anything here?
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 5: Maybe she was taking it the wrong way, but I
Speaker 5: felt like I was being pretty romantic.
Speaker 3: Boy boy, she says, Oh, boy boy.
Speaker 1: Definitely lesson learned, though, Eddie. If you do exactly what
Speaker 1: the woman says, she'll eventually hate you.
Speaker 2: That is exactly a lesson.
Speaker 4: That's exactly what I learned.
Speaker 3: That's why we're never going to get anywhere, Jess, So
Speaker 3: we're getting everywhere?
Speaker 2: Is that what you're saying.
Speaker 1: I am sorry this didn't work out for you, Eddie,
Speaker 1: but I think there is some girl out there who
Speaker 1: is going to be willing to help you find your NEMO.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: In the meantime, stick to your toy story.
Speaker 2: That's not appropriate. Looking Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 1: I can't say I'm surprised that that second date update
Speaker 1: didn't work out?
Speaker 3: Yeah, do you think, jeff I know, I mean, I
Speaker 3: know you tried to stick up for Eddie, but it
Speaker 3: got harder and harder, didn't it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it did.
Speaker 1: I can't be honest and say I actually wanted to
Speaker 1: stick up for him in the first place, but part
Speaker 1: of my job is trying to come through for the listeners.
Speaker 2: You were the only ones sticking up.
Speaker 3: I was like, can sometimes just the goal be to
Speaker 3: everyone learned a lesson here?
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I don't think Eddie is an NPR bro. I just
Speaker 2: I'm just really concerned about Eddie.
Speaker 1: Let's just imagine, though, for a second, that it actually
Speaker 1: worked out between those two. How cute would it have
Speaker 1: been at their wedding for them to say we conceived
Speaker 1: a child.
Speaker 2: In the back seat because he told me to find
Speaker 2: Nemo and I did. I found him.
Speaker 3: It would have been one of those weddings where the
Speaker 3: bride would go up to the maid of honor and say,
Speaker 3: don't mention anything about how we really met.
Speaker 2: Didn't tell my grandma. Okay, let's skip the Nemo apart.
Speaker 2: But we did meet in the back of the I'm
Speaker 2: just saying missed an opportunity today. But if you don't
Speaker 2: want to miss out on.
Speaker 1: An opportunity, make sure you're emailing the show so we
Speaker 1: can call the person who isn't calling you back. Also,
Speaker 1: check out all our second dates up online at brook
Speaker 1: and
Speaker 5: Jeffrey brook and Jeffrey in the morning,
