Speaker 2: As opposed to but.
Speaker 1: Good point. They'll hear it your number eight Second Date Update,
Speaker 1: Second Date Update d There's nothing wrong with bringing something
Speaker 1: along with you for a first date, depending on who
Speaker 1: you are. Could be like a small flask. Oh, could
Speaker 1: be a taser.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you gotta be safe. I guess it.
Speaker 1: Could be a blow up Yoda doll for after hours pleasure.
Speaker 2: I'm taken also because anyone would leave you alone if
Speaker 2: you brought that y or.
Speaker 1: You could also bring along a real life human being,
Speaker 1: because that's what one of our listeners, Chavon, did, She
Speaker 1: brought a real person on her first date with her.
Speaker 2: You make it sound like an accessory.
Speaker 3: Jeffrey.
Speaker 1: She's just wears it's possible. Chavon, What's up? Were they
Speaker 1: out of inflatable Yoda's that day or what was the
Speaker 1: thinking there?
Speaker 4: Honestly, I hadn't even thought about going that route. And
Speaker 4: I know it's weird, but I'm just getting into online
Speaker 4: dating and I'm just like trying to be super careful.
Speaker 2: So yeah, so make a note of inflatable Yoda's. So
Speaker 2: what you just did? I see?
Speaker 3: Who did you bring go? Is it a friend a stranger?
Speaker 4: It's one of my good friends. In hindsight, maybe she
Speaker 4: wasn't like the best choice.
Speaker 2: Would definitely gone with a bodyguard instead.
Speaker 1: So before we get to the friend, can you tell
Speaker 1: us about the guy that you went out with? What's
Speaker 1: his deal?
Speaker 4: Yeah? He was super cool, like not somebody I would
Speaker 4: normally go after. His name is Joel.
Speaker 2: Does that mean what was different about him?
Speaker 4: Because he's a bald guy and that's but I actually
Speaker 4: told him that and oh no.
Speaker 1: What you told him online that you're not into bald dudes?
Speaker 5: Yeah, that I'm usually not.
Speaker 6: I'm just trying to be like, honest, you know.
Speaker 3: That's what.
Speaker 4: He liked it.
Speaker 1: Obviously, sometimes I swipe right on people just to tell them, no,
Speaker 1: you're not my tight.
Speaker 4: Weird.
Speaker 2: What was his response when you said that to him?
Speaker 6: Well, that's what was so great is he was like,
Speaker 6: I make up for it in other areas. He said,
Speaker 6: my arm hit hair is three times longer.
Speaker 3: That's good.
Speaker 1: I mean, is that a joker?
Speaker 3: He's funny.
Speaker 1: It's funny to some people.
Speaker 3: I guess, like instant rejected.
Speaker 4: I mean, he made me laugh and I figured that
Speaker 4: I would give it a try, so I said yes
Speaker 4: when he invited me to go get dinner with him. Okay,
Speaker 4: I was nervous though. That's the thing when you're new
Speaker 4: to this, like meeting someone, and I mean there's all
Speaker 4: kinds of like scary stories.
Speaker 3: And as a guy, creepy.
Speaker 2: Guy like share a location, I don't like bring a
Speaker 2: friend to the location and a text. Well, and how
Speaker 2: didn't you chatted with this guy for long enough to
Speaker 2: feel somewhat safe?
Speaker 4: I know, but you just hear about like people getting catfished,
Speaker 4: and I was like, I don't.
Speaker 2: Know, dude, he's bald, He's not going to catfish.
Speaker 1: Maybe his under arm was a catfish situation. He said,
Speaker 1: But how did it go when you met up with him?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Well, I mean that's the thing. Like, okay, so I
Speaker 4: brought my friend like just this security measure, and I
Speaker 4: did not tell him about it beforehand.
Speaker 2: Why would you not tell him?
Speaker 1: What was his reaction?
Speaker 6: Well, okay, so I showed up early and I was
Speaker 6: like talking with her at the bar, but I.
Speaker 4: Didn't see that he was already there. So he came
Speaker 4: over and he said hi, and I introduced him to
Speaker 4: my friend, Saltine.
Speaker 2: Saltine. Did you say Saltine like the Cracker?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Okay, that's her real name or is that a nickname?
Speaker 4: That's her real name?
Speaker 3: It could if you see an extra woman there, I
Speaker 3: would have been like, oh is this some other situations?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was curious, like is Saltine hot? Is it
Speaker 1: possible that she distracted?
Speaker 3: She's very white?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean she's really cute. And Joel was really
Speaker 4: polite about it. I think he was definitely surprised, but
Speaker 4: he was just kind of going along with it.
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, so you and Joel and Saltine all sat
Speaker 1: down together for dinner.
Speaker 4: Well, we had a drink at the bar, and then
Speaker 4: the host came to tell us that our table was ready, and.
Speaker 6: He asked if we could get another chair.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but I had said no, like I wanted to
Speaker 4: eat with him alone, and Sultine could just at the bar.
Speaker 2: She's gonna sit alone? Why would she just go home?
Speaker 3: At that point, he's still hovering Brookes.
Speaker 4: I mean she's like really outgoing, you know. I mean
Speaker 4: she makes friends.
Speaker 6: Like everywhere we go.
Speaker 4: She's like very talkative. And I don't know she was
Speaker 4: already there.
Speaker 7: Great.
Speaker 3: I think most people will be like, sure, I'll just
Speaker 3: stay here, have another drink, have some food.
Speaker 1: She'll keep an eye on you from a distance and
Speaker 1: have a good time. How was the one on one
Speaker 1: time with Joel?
Speaker 4: So it was really nice? But she came over to
Speaker 4: like check on us, which was not part of the
Speaker 4: deal at all.
Speaker 2: I did not know, So why was that so bad?
Speaker 8: Though?
Speaker 2: I mean, like everybody already.
Speaker 1: Knows he checked on the brook. She's probably lonely though,
Speaker 1: sitting over there.
Speaker 3: At that point?
Speaker 2: Is that when Joel's like mood changed.
Speaker 4: I mean she like went back to the bar, but
Speaker 4: then she was testing me, like, hey, we need to
Speaker 4: leave now. And he handled it well. But then after
Speaker 4: the date, I sent him a message and I told
Speaker 4: him that I wanted to hang out again and I.
Speaker 7: Got no reply.
Speaker 6: I feel like I came across as such a weirdo.
Speaker 4: You know you did well?
Speaker 2: You brought Saltine with your friend.
Speaker 7: Reason.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so I don't know what the reason is exactly,
Speaker 4: but like it's been a little while now.
Speaker 6: And I've jumped back into dating pool and I've gone
Speaker 6: out with different guys, but no one is as cool
Speaker 6: as he was, and I really like.
Speaker 3: Him crawling back to the ball.
Speaker 2: All right, so you couldn't find a better option. We're
Speaker 2: gonna call him.
Speaker 1: That's as good as we can do.
Speaker 7: Now.
Speaker 3: We can have Saltine on a third line.
Speaker 1: No, I don't think so, we're gonna play a song.
Speaker 1: We'll come back. We'll call Joel and try to get
Speaker 1: your second date update, and then tomorrow we'll do an
Speaker 1: awkward Tuesday phone call with Saltine.
Speaker 3: Oh okay, I'm into it.
Speaker 1: I'm just kidding. Let's do the second update, next second
Speaker 1: date update. Some strange names that we've heard on this
Speaker 1: show before include Latig Gray, who you might remember had
Speaker 1: more than sixteen tiger tattoos on his body. It was
Speaker 1: a huge tiger.
Speaker 2: Enthusiast, which game first the name.
Speaker 1: We also had a young lady named Elizabeth or not
Speaker 1: Elizabeth Elizabeth thur with an er at the end.
Speaker 2: It's a difficult one.
Speaker 1: It was interesting for when Brooke was trying to make
Speaker 1: a point saying now Elizabeth.
Speaker 2: Orth Or, I stuttered at the end.
Speaker 1: And now we have a new person on the phone.
Speaker 1: They're actually not on with us here, but she's a
Speaker 1: large part of the story. Her name is Saltine. Saltine
Speaker 1: tagged along on the date with our listener Chavn, who
Speaker 1: was nervous about going on an online date for the
Speaker 1: very first time, and so while she was over at
Speaker 1: dinner with her date Joel, Saltine sat over it by
Speaker 1: the bar, just spying on them the entire time until
Speaker 1: she had an enough and actually marched up to the
Speaker 1: table and embarrassed Chavn. So now it's been almost a
Speaker 1: month and Chavon's hoping to get back again with Joel. Chavan,
Speaker 1: do you have any last words before we reach out
Speaker 1: to him.
Speaker 8: I know I messed up when I took Saltine, but
Speaker 8: I really like this guy, like he is like the
Speaker 8: best thing, especially to what I've been going out with since.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's awesome, Okay, okay, And.
Speaker 1: It was all Saltine's fault. We'll just blame it on her.
Speaker 3: That's true. If you can blame it on her, and
Speaker 3: then you just say you're so awesome, I regret everything
Speaker 3: I think is an easy piece.
Speaker 1: Maybe there's a whole different reason though. Let's just call
Speaker 1: Joel and see what he has to say.
Speaker 7: You ready, Oh, oh my god?
Speaker 1: All right, deep breath, here we go.
Speaker 7: Hello is this Joel? Uh yeah, hey Joel.
Speaker 1: My name is jeff from a morning rate show that
Speaker 1: you may have heard of called Brook and Jeffrey in
Speaker 1: the Morning.
Speaker 7: Uh, yeah, I think I've heard of you, guys.
Speaker 8: Cool.
Speaker 2: Thank you for the good review.
Speaker 1: We've heard it.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: The funny thing is we heard of you too.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, good things too about you, Joel.
Speaker 1: We heard it from somebody that you went out on
Speaker 1: a date with a little while ago named chavn.
Speaker 2: Oh oh you do remember, because she said like thirty days,
Speaker 2: like a month ago, that you guys went out.
Speaker 7: Yeah it's sun.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, getting hints from the tone of your voice
Speaker 1: that it wasn't the best date for you, but we
Speaker 1: kind of knew that.
Speaker 7: Yeah, uh no, it was not.
Speaker 2: Was it funny?
Speaker 4: You laughed?
Speaker 7: It's just uh so we went out to dinner like
Speaker 7: a month ago, and when I went out with her,
Speaker 7: she ended up bringing her friend.
Speaker 1: Yeah on the date, you remember her friends name.
Speaker 7: Yeah, Saltine. Yeah. I thought it was crazy because when
Speaker 7: we matched online, I thought her name was beautiful. I
Speaker 7: love the name Chavon. And then on the date she
Speaker 7: brings this friend named Saltine, and I'm just like, this
Speaker 7: is the most absurd thing I've ever heard of my life.
Speaker 1: Chavan said that you seem to be really cool with it.
Speaker 1: You're able to basically roll with the evening, which is awesome.
Speaker 1: How did it go?
Speaker 7: I didn't want to be a about it. It was weird
Speaker 7: having another person there, but so I suggested it was
Speaker 7: get a table for three, and Chavan just said she's
Speaker 7: gonna sit at the bar and watch us. Immediately red
Speaker 7: flag somebody who's gonna watch us.
Speaker 1: Okay, you're lifestyle chaperone, because I mean, I I do
Speaker 1: enjoy watching sometimes.
Speaker 7: I'm just not into that voyeuristic lifestyle.
Speaker 1: Chavan told us, Just wait, you're not. But Chavan told
Speaker 1: us that Saltine is kind of a like a fun type,
Speaker 1: like a outgoing social girl.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, she she seemed pretty cool. Again, like I
Speaker 7: thought we would sit together, but yeah, yeah, sitting alone.
Speaker 7: Only laughed about twenty minutes because then Saltine is like
Speaker 7: stumbling over to the table somebing, but she's drunk, clearly drunk.
Speaker 2: What is she supposed to do twenty minutes an.
Speaker 7: Then she starts coming at me saying how I'm the
Speaker 7: unlucky one that I didn't match with her, that he's
Speaker 7: the fun one, that Ron is boring there She's totally like, no,
Speaker 7: Chavon had gone up to go to the bathroom.
Speaker 1: That's even, so you're with Saltine now she's the fun one.
Speaker 7: No, I'm not with Saltine. I'm not with any of them.
Speaker 3: Oh and that sex.
Speaker 2: She thinks she's bringing her most trusted friend with her
Speaker 2: to help her out, and she's like to trying to
Speaker 2: steal her may look.
Speaker 7: Ten minutes later, Saltine is getting like carted out of
Speaker 7: the bar. She was getting sticked out but off and
Speaker 7: Chevan takes care of her. She orders her an uber
Speaker 7: to get her home. So we just decided to call
Speaker 7: it early and I drove her home. And I don't
Speaker 7: like to judge people off their friends, but like, yeah,
Speaker 7: this was the pretty big red flag.
Speaker 2: That's the worry that's gonna be hard for her to hear.
Speaker 1: Yeah, actually she's already kind of heard that, Joel, because
Speaker 1: I didn't let you know this before. But Chavon has
Speaker 1: actually been on the other line listening this entire time. Wow,
Speaker 1: just spying in on the conversation like Saltine did. And
Speaker 1: now she wants to jump in and talk to you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Hi, did you know that, Cheffon?
Speaker 5: No, No, I had no idea. I had no idea.
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know what, I don't have any idea about
Speaker 7: how did she get my number? What?
Speaker 1: Who got your number?
Speaker 7: Saltine?
Speaker 1: What what do you mean?
Speaker 7: She's texting me apologizing about that night, saying how sorry
Speaker 7: she was, like begging me to go back out with
Speaker 7: you so much that she offered me money.
Speaker 4: Oh my god, she wants to say you, pamp.
Speaker 2: Is that what's going on?
Speaker 3: Oh my god?
Speaker 1: She sounds like she's a stable person.
Speaker 5: I don't even really know what to say. I mean,
Speaker 5: I'm imagining that she probably got your number through my phone.
Speaker 5: I obviously didn't give it to her, and like, this
Speaker 5: is not a representation of how I am as a
Speaker 5: person at all. Like, I had no idea that she
Speaker 5: would backst at me like this.
Speaker 2: And talking to her about her when she was in
Speaker 2: the bathroom. That was totally backs down.
Speaker 1: What about the art where she tried to fix the relationship,
Speaker 1: it was like, you should go out here.
Speaker 5: It's not okay that she did that. She should have
Speaker 5: stayed out of it, Like she made enough of a mess.
Speaker 5: She came over to the table, like maybe I would
Speaker 5: have had a chance had she not been such a creep,
Speaker 5: and then sling your number out of my phone trying
Speaker 5: to pay you to go out with me, Like that's
Speaker 5: so messed up.
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know that she asked me out No wait.
Speaker 2: Via text or when when she was drunk at.
Speaker 7: The bar she texted me like last week asking if
Speaker 7: i'd be her date to some like dental hygienis ball.
Speaker 4: Oh.
Speaker 5: I mean she's wild and crazy and like I've seen
Speaker 5: her do some shady stuff, but like, I never thought
Speaker 5: she would do something like this to me.
Speaker 2: And I bet you've been talking to her about how
Speaker 2: much you've been thinking about Joel and about how you
Speaker 2: wish you could go out with him again. Like that
Speaker 2: is hard to okay, let's just see.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think to me it sounds like Chevn is
Speaker 1: on the brink of cutting Saltine out of her life permanently.
Speaker 2: Which may not be sad.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so with Oh my god, I don't know if
Speaker 1: that's true, Savon, but if it is, Joel, now that
Speaker 1: Saltine is out of the picture, would you be willing
Speaker 1: to go out with Chevn just by herself? She's the
Speaker 1: stable one.
Speaker 3: The boring one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, have a nice right now, sorry, a boring gluten
Speaker 1: free date with and we'll pay for it.
Speaker 7: You know, they're best friends. It's hard to just like
Speaker 7: best friends best friends, not.
Speaker 5: My best friend. Like, I know, I know I messed up.
Speaker 5: I know that it was super weird and creepy what
Speaker 5: I did. I was nervous because it was my first
Speaker 5: time online dating. But I really like you, and I
Speaker 5: would just appreciate just one more chance. Please. I swear
Speaker 5: to Godine's not going to be there, She's not going
Speaker 5: to be anywhere near me ever. Again, honestly, I'm not
Speaker 5: crazy like her, and I was just really like, I
Speaker 5: just lost my best friend. Like, please, let this be
Speaker 5: some sort of like consolation.
Speaker 1: Rise, Joel. Really, Saltine will not be anywhere on your date,
Speaker 1: but she will still be tracking your phone. So just
Speaker 1: keep that in mind. But I say, give Chavn one
Speaker 1: more chance.
Speaker 2: You got to say yes to that, Joel.
Speaker 5: Oh, yeah, brooking Jeffrey in the Morning, Brook and Jeffrey
Speaker 5: in the Morning.
