Speaker 1: Rooking jewels. Second DATO date to date or not to date?
Speaker 1: That is the question whether it's nobler to use tender
Speaker 1: and suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune or
Speaker 1: Craigslist and take up arms against a sea of weirdos. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't do that. Why am I opening up today's
Speaker 1: second date update like that? Because Erica is on the
Speaker 1: phone and she wants to call a guy named Alan
Speaker 1: and they met in an acting class. How did I do?
Speaker 1: He did? Great? Bring the class? That? Okay? Definitely, maybe
Speaker 1: I'll think about that. What's the guy's name that you
Speaker 1: want to call today? The name's Alan Alan and your
Speaker 1: email said that you guys met in acting class. How'd
Speaker 1: that go down? Well, we met in class, and he
Speaker 1: really should asked me to the sounds like a great
Speaker 1: but I hair like a full heads. Oh nice? Okay,
Speaker 1: that's awesome. Is this an ongoing class or was this
Speaker 1: just a one time class that you took. It's an
Speaker 1: eight week class, so yeah, it's an ongoing class. Okay, okay,
Speaker 1: So how far into your eight weeks before either you
Speaker 1: or he asked each other out? We were to the
Speaker 1: second week. Okay, So the second weekend and how did
Speaker 1: you guys officially decide to go out? Well, we were
Speaker 1: hanging out after class and he asked me if I
Speaker 1: wanted to hang out and like go over things. Oh,
Speaker 1: I was hoping it would be more romantic than that.
Speaker 1: He wanted more of a script. Yes, I did. It's
Speaker 1: not very hollow at all. And did it seem like
Speaker 1: a date or did it seem like he wanted to
Speaker 1: go over and practice acting stuff with you? It definitely
Speaker 1: seemed like a date. We're being very flirtatious when he
Speaker 1: asked me, and it was just us. Oh cool, okay,
Speaker 1: So like everybody had gone home and it was just
Speaker 1: you two. Yeah, we were just hanging out outside, all right.
Speaker 1: And what did you guys do when you went out? Well,
Speaker 1: he tasted me after a couple of days and asked
Speaker 1: me if I wanted to come over and make Molly's.
Speaker 1: Oh that's a cute date. Yeah good, yeah, because I
Speaker 1: guess it hard to make. And he said that he
Speaker 1: could teach me, so I was like, yeah, that sounds great.
Speaker 1: I love Tamis. You haven't you left over? You know,
Speaker 1: I don't really care if we do your second at
Speaker 1: update anymore. I just want some food. Do you enjoy
Speaker 1: making to Molly's with him? Yeah, it was a lot
Speaker 1: of fun. He's really funny and so like he made
Speaker 1: me laugh and he was really patient. My mollies were
Speaker 1: like they were so bad and his are really good.
Speaker 1: But he was being really helpful with So Okay, it's
Speaker 1: not romantic to me. I don't know. Yeah, it was
Speaker 1: really romantic. It was nice. Okay if you so, if
Speaker 1: you spend some time with this dude making romantic to mollies,
Speaker 1: why do you think he's not calling you back? But
Speaker 1: that's true. I you know, the whole night was really great,
Speaker 1: and I guess I'm like, you know, you go through
Speaker 1: things of like what went wrong? And um there was
Speaker 1: one point where he pointed out something I knew that
Speaker 1: I didn't realize I just which is apparently I compartmentalized
Speaker 1: my food Like when I eat it, what do I mean,
Speaker 1: like you make sure it doesn't touch Yeah, like nothing
Speaker 1: touches and I eat like something one at a time.
Speaker 1: You're one of those people. Yeah, I didn't realize that
Speaker 1: I did that. Oh you didn't even know that you
Speaker 1: did that? No, No, but I do. I now noticed it,
Speaker 1: like every day you said, he commented, on it. How
Speaker 1: did he do that? He just got it was kind
Speaker 1: of like, oh you And I was like, what what's
Speaker 1: going on? And he was like, well, you compartmentalize your food.
Speaker 1: That would be the weirdest thing to turn somebody off. Ever,
Speaker 1: you're not letting your tamali touch your beans that are
Speaker 1: on the plate, and that I can't deal. I thought
Speaker 1: that too. I thought that would be a little strange.
Speaker 1: I have a hard time believing that would cause somebody
Speaker 1: to not call you back. How did you guys end everything?
Speaker 1: He gave me a kiss on the cheek and we
Speaker 1: were like, I'll see you in clasp because I had
Speaker 1: believe because I really didn't like overstay my welcome right
Speaker 1: at his place for the first date. Oh no, you
Speaker 1: should have slept over. I just brought your overnight back
Speaker 1: with you. I'm sleeping on the couch tonight, right. Have
Speaker 1: you seen him in class? Yeah? He was in the
Speaker 1: next class after, you know, we said hi to each other,
Speaker 1: have been after. I was trying to talk to him.
Speaker 1: It's being kind of cold, little standoffish, um so I
Speaker 1: don't know. And I asked him if he wanted to
Speaker 1: hang out, and he said he was busy oh, the
Speaker 1: old busy excuse. Yeah, was he being rude to you? No,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say rude. It just wasn't, you know, as
Speaker 1: wealth mean as he had been before, Right, because if
Speaker 1: he liked you and he wanted to continue to see you,
Speaker 1: he'd do things like sit next to you in class
Speaker 1: or make eyett. Yeah. Now it's like really awkward when
Speaker 1: I see him and we only have a couple of
Speaker 1: classes left, and I just like it. You know, it's
Speaker 1: just kind of strange, weird, and I'm just wondering if
Speaker 1: I did something wrong. So I thought i'd call you
Speaker 1: guys to help me figure it out. Okay, I think
Speaker 1: it's a food thing, separated your food, like a weirdo,
Speaker 1: and it ruined your chances with this guy like an
Speaker 1: eight year old yea, play a song, come back, call
Speaker 1: him and get your second day up date. Okay, okay,
Speaker 1: all right, hold on rooking Jubil in the morning dates. Hey, Erica, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I don't think we're gonna be able to
Speaker 1: do your second eight update today that well, because I
Speaker 1: don't know what my motivation is. I have no direction.
Speaker 1: There's a blemish on my notes and the lighting of
Speaker 1: this room is saying off. The lighting is terrible and
Speaker 1: I knew you would be that type of actor idea.
Speaker 1: I can't do it. I just can't. I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: outside for a smoke. I'll be back in fifteen minutes
Speaker 1: and then we'll try it again, all right, heared it out.
Speaker 1: Erica wants to call a guy named Alan that she
Speaker 1: met in her acting class. They went out together, they
Speaker 1: made to Molly's. They had a fun time, fun conversation.
Speaker 1: She said he was funny, also added that he had
Speaker 1: a full head of hair, which she liked a lot.
Speaker 1: And ever since they went out, he's not calling her back.
Speaker 1: And also they've seen each other in acting class and
Speaker 1: he's been very cold to her, just saying that he's
Speaker 1: busy and he can't go out again. So she to
Speaker 1: see if she did something wrong. Are you ready to
Speaker 1: call him? Yeah, let's do it. Are you worried that
Speaker 1: this is going to make things more strange? Whatever the
Speaker 1: class will end? Yeah, at this point, it's already weird.
Speaker 1: It can't get weirder. It'll be a good story. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna call him right now. Here we go. Hello, Hi,
Speaker 1: is Alan there speaking? Hey? Alan? How are you? My
Speaker 1: name is Jebil and I host a morning radio show
Speaker 1: called Brook and Jewel in the Morning. I'm sorry, Jebil, Yes,
Speaker 1: Jebil from Brook and Jewel in the Morning. Okay, have
Speaker 1: you ever heard the show before it all? No, I'm
Speaker 1: not familiar. Oh, okay on the radio, yes, I mostly
Speaker 1: listen to in PR. Sorry, m PR, I'm not familiar
Speaker 1: with that rapper. Well, we are already show and we
Speaker 1: do a segment called the second Date Update. So you
Speaker 1: recently went on a date with one of our listeners. Okay,
Speaker 1: who was it? Her name is Erica. She emailed you, yeah, yeah, Ericaay, Well,
Speaker 1: she emailed us and said that you guys met in
Speaker 1: acting class and you got together one night to make
Speaker 1: Tamali's and ever since then, you've kind of been cold
Speaker 1: to her in the acting class and you haven't responded
Speaker 1: to like her phone calls or text messages or anything. Okay,
Speaker 1: I don't understand why she emailed you. Well, I guess
Speaker 1: she says that she's tried to talk to you a
Speaker 1: little bit, but you've been cold, and when she asked
Speaker 1: you if you want to go out again, you're just like,
Speaker 1: I'm busy, and then didn't want to talk to her,
Speaker 1: so she figured we might be able to find something out.
Speaker 1: I don't know what you wanted to say. It's just
Speaker 1: it's not working. Is there a specific reason? Well, yes
Speaker 1: and no. But I don't really see why I'm going
Speaker 1: to talk to you about it. Well, because you're not
Speaker 1: telling her like you have to understand. From her perspective,
Speaker 1: it's awkward for her to be in a class every
Speaker 1: day with a guy who obviously doesn't want to go
Speaker 1: out with you, and you have no idea why. So
Speaker 1: the best thing for her to do is to email
Speaker 1: a radio station. I think so, one way or the other,
Speaker 1: we do a lot of these second date updates. It
Speaker 1: works for a lot of people. Well, I think it
Speaker 1: says something about her sanity, is that it? Do you
Speaker 1: feel like she's not saying no, I'm not saying she's
Speaker 1: not sane. I'm just choosing to go our separate ways
Speaker 1: as much as we can, even though we still have
Speaker 1: to be in that class together, because I think it's
Speaker 1: going to be better for both of us. So you're
Speaker 1: deciding for her what's better for her. Well, I'm deciding
Speaker 1: what's better for me, and I happen to believe it's
Speaker 1: got to be better for her? And what is that?
Speaker 1: I don't know why I'm telling you guys this. She's
Speaker 1: there's something about her vibe. I don't want to talk
Speaker 1: about ores and stuff, but there's definitely something about hers
Speaker 1: that clashes with mine. Classes, with your vibe. Only people
Speaker 1: in an acting class would say, what do you mean
Speaker 1: by that? Look? She come over from a house we
Speaker 1: made to Molly's. There was like some awkwardness there. I
Speaker 1: didn't think anything of it, But then the next week
Speaker 1: in class we had to do these monologues right and
Speaker 1: when I went up to do mine, I just I
Speaker 1: felt off, Like I just I couldn't get in the
Speaker 1: right headspace. I could just feel that my energy was
Speaker 1: being sucked. And I feel like a lot of it
Speaker 1: has to do with her. What did you feel like
Speaker 1: your energy was off when you were doing your monologue
Speaker 1: because of her? How's it's hard to explain to the
Speaker 1: late person meaning not not an actor. I mean, I
Speaker 1: don't know what you guys do is like radio personalities.
Speaker 1: Radio is bottom of the barrel, not much of an
Speaker 1: art where as lay person. As you get like, have
Speaker 1: you ever taken an acting class? No? I have, I
Speaker 1: mean in high school, but like that counts. I'm not
Speaker 1: talking about like lay on the floor and being ice
Speaker 1: cream calling stuff. I mean like really getting into like
Speaker 1: what's in either of you. No, I've never really gotten
Speaker 1: in touch with what inside of me? Thank god? Yeah.
Speaker 1: Was it something that she did? Wasn't anything she did.
Speaker 1: It was just her energy. You know, when it comes
Speaker 1: to do my monologue, it sucked and I'm good, all right,
Speaker 1: this girl something about her. I know it's her, I
Speaker 1: know it was her. It just it put me in
Speaker 1: the wrong space. So you're you're blaming her for you
Speaker 1: not doing a good job on your monologue. Look, if
Speaker 1: you don't understand it, it's just because you're not in touch.
Speaker 1: You know, you said you haven't been inside yourself. Well
Speaker 1: maybe you should take a big swimming like you because
Speaker 1: in order to get creative energy, you need to be
Speaker 1: free to do that. Don't think. Do you think it's
Speaker 1: a little unfair to say someone's being ruined your abilities?
Speaker 1: I mean it could have been like what if you
Speaker 1: did you have a stressful week or you had a
Speaker 1: fight with your mom. I don't know. If I had
Speaker 1: a stressful week, I have the tools that I can
Speaker 1: channel that stress into a brilliant performance, but she took
Speaker 1: those tools away from me. She had to tell you
Speaker 1: that she did, but she did the tool thief. And
Speaker 1: that's the reason that you're not calling her back. You
Speaker 1: feel like you can't be creative with her in your life. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Like I need a muse and she is not amused.
Speaker 1: She's a succubus, and she pulls the energy out of me.
Speaker 1: Every creative juice that I have was sucked out of
Speaker 1: me by She didn't feel the same way at all,
Speaker 1: I don't think. Well, look, her monologue was not great either,
Speaker 1: and either she's just a bad actress or I'm affecting
Speaker 1: her too. Okay, so you think that just the two
Speaker 1: of you together, you can't be successful actors because your
Speaker 1: energy doesn't fit right, Like, I can't practice my craft
Speaker 1: to the best of my ability if I have a
Speaker 1: succubus on me. Some people like succubuses, some people don't.
Speaker 1: I mean, I can't change how you feel. It kind
Speaker 1: of doesn't make sense to me because I'm you know,
Speaker 1: I'm not you. But I do know that she's on
Speaker 1: the other line listening right now and would love to
Speaker 1: talk to you. What are you seriously, Yeah, Erica Hi,
Speaker 1: So she heard everything? I just said, yes she did?
Speaker 1: Yeah I did. And do you not agree with cis? Yes?
Speaker 1: I was thinking like you were dating somebody else. Like
Speaker 1: now you think I'm like some voodoo witch or something.
Speaker 1: So you think that your monologue was good? Oh, I
Speaker 1: wouldn't say it was the best ever had, but I
Speaker 1: can recognize that and not blame it on somebody else. Well,
Speaker 1: maybe you're not in touch with yourself enough to know
Speaker 1: what's expecting you. Maybe you're a little too pretentious for
Speaker 1: the class. I'm pretentious. Yeah. Do you hear yourself speaking
Speaker 1: right now? Okay, Erica, explain this to me. All right,
Speaker 1: look at it all as a whole. The week before
Speaker 1: in class, my monologue was beautiful, Like the teacher said,
Speaker 1: it was the best work she'd seen. The next week,
Speaker 1: after having spent just a little bit of time with you,
Speaker 1: I'm mixing up Macbeth and Hamlet and it's all coming
Speaker 1: out apples and oranges. What other excuse could there be?
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe you didn't get enough sleep. Honestly, Allen,
Speaker 1: I don't get it because you weren't bad. I wasn't bad.
Speaker 1: You You have completely skewed ideas of what's bad bad
Speaker 1: for me is probably your best day. I don't know
Speaker 1: why you're being like this. Did we didn't have a
Speaker 1: good time? Do we do have fun? We are hanging out.
Speaker 1: That's not the point, Erica. Clearly, from a creative perspective
Speaker 1: and from a professional perspective, we're not good for each other.
Speaker 1: Our energies clash. So even if you had fun and
Speaker 1: liked each other, it's not worth it because it's going
Speaker 1: to screw up your careers. It could have been the
Speaker 1: best date in the world. But it's not worth it
Speaker 1: to me to continue dating someone that's going to pull
Speaker 1: my creativity out of my stomach. Eric, did you love God?
Speaker 1: I mean you're kind of being a jerk to her
Speaker 1: right now. Yeah, she didn't do anything on purpose, even
Speaker 1: if you feel like she sucked her creativity out. Look,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry if I said hurtful things, but I think
Speaker 1: it's best that we don't pursue anything because it's clearly
Speaker 1: affecting both of us. I mean, people have bad weeks,
Speaker 1: but it's an acting class. Do you get through it?
Speaker 1: You take notes and you go to the next class
Speaker 1: and try to do better. Maybe you'd understand this. Some
Speaker 1: of us like myself, are trained and know how to
Speaker 1: focus stressful days or bad energies and still be fantastic. You, however,
Speaker 1: changed all of that for me. One date with you,
Speaker 1: and I had nothing left. Oh sweetie, I'm really sorry,
Speaker 1: but you really aren't that good. The teacher gives you
Speaker 1: the most notes for a reason. The teacher gave me
Speaker 1: notes because the teacher thinks that there's something there that
Speaker 1: can be improved upon. You didn't get a lot of
Speaker 1: notes because you know what, well, she's never gonna get
Speaker 1: any better. I know what the answer is going to
Speaker 1: be here, But I would like to ask the question regardless, Alan,
Speaker 1: would you like to go on a second date with Erica?
Speaker 1: We will pay for it, obviously not. And Erica, I'm
Speaker 1: assuming that you don't want to see Alan again. Yeah,
Speaker 1: hell no, I'll drop out of the class. No, I'll
Speaker 1: be there. You'll see me. Oh man. I hope that
Speaker 1: both of you can channel that awkwardness into great monologues
Speaker 1: for future classes. I'll be able to channel all of
Speaker 1: this energy, including this sour energy that you just put
Speaker 1: in me, and I'll be able to do great work.
Speaker 1: And I'm going to book a lot of gigs. Erica however,
Speaker 1: is going to be stuck doing nothing waiting tables and
Speaker 1: maybe you can give her a chop on your radio stake.
Speaker 1: Alan will guarantee you in ten years I'm going to
Speaker 1: be the one who successful and you will not. Yeah,
Speaker 1: successful at cash and welfare checks. Good luck. That was
Speaker 1: below the belt, Brooke and Jewel in the morning,
