Speaker 1: Second. D you know there's something that I learned in
Speaker 1: boy Scouts that I've applied into my dating life. Interesting, Well,
Speaker 1: it's not what you're probably thinking, which as I can
Speaker 1: tie a slip knot with my tongue, it's ABP. Always
Speaker 1: be prepared, all right, And I really think people can
Speaker 1: take that motto into their regular lives too. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: think it's a it's a good thing to know, like,
Speaker 1: if you're pregnant, bring a hospital bag everywhere you go
Speaker 1: because you never know when that baby's going to come
Speaker 1: shooting out of the typically how it works. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's a good idea. Or when you're at work, you
Speaker 1: never know when you're going to be fired. Now is
Speaker 1: happening now? Oh no, we're at I'm just saying. But
Speaker 1: that goes for dating too. And one of our listeners, Ben,
Speaker 1: was extra prepared for his He didn't even realize that
Speaker 1: he was strapped. So Ben, welcome to the show. Hey,
Speaker 1: how's it going, guys man. We'll get into what you
Speaker 1: were packing in just a second, but first, what do
Speaker 1: you want the deets on the girl that you met?
Speaker 1: Tell us about her? Yeah? Yeah, so I met this
Speaker 1: girl named Terry. We actually met online sorry, did you
Speaker 1: say Terry or carry Harry? Now I heard Harry. I
Speaker 1: heard Harry. I think Terry, Terry. You spell it for us,
Speaker 1: p r R Harry, Okayrry oh Ry, he said Terry. Okay,
Speaker 1: So where did you meet Terry? We met online? I
Speaker 1: thought her profile and I just thought she was really cute,
Speaker 1: and she also had this joke and her bio that
Speaker 1: was really cute and funny. So that's sure. You can't
Speaker 1: just tell us that without telling us a joke. It
Speaker 1: already sold me. I don't care what it is. Y'all
Speaker 1: probably think it's stupid. I thought it was hilarious. All
Speaker 1: her bio was was I'm intelligent, but she spelled intelligent
Speaker 1: row that's funny. And then you put in like fantasies
Speaker 1: like ha ha okay, yeah right, so that wasn't just
Speaker 1: an accident. Isn't it funny that you have to put
Speaker 1: the haha because they know there's gonna be just so
Speaker 1: you know that wrong. So you reached out to her then, yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 1: So we chatted a little bit and then we actually
Speaker 1: agreed to like meet up on a date, and we
Speaker 1: actually both knew this restaurant. It was a really fancy
Speaker 1: restaurant that we had never been to, but we both
Speaker 1: independently kind of always wanted to go there. I have
Speaker 1: it like a foody spot, ye person, I mean, but
Speaker 1: a fancy restaurant for a first date. Yeah, super fancy
Speaker 1: and also super hard to get a table that makes
Speaker 1: you look good though, if you're able to slide in
Speaker 1: actually get a reservation, how did you do it? Well,
Speaker 1: they actually don't take reservation. That's the problem those places.
Speaker 1: They're the ones that loved to watch you wait for
Speaker 1: three hours side? How bad do you want to mock you?
Speaker 1: So did you show up early then or what did
Speaker 1: you do to get your you guys a table? We
Speaker 1: showed up kind of like on the early side, and
Speaker 1: they were like, well, they're at the table, but it's
Speaker 1: gonna be a fifty minute wait for a table, like
Speaker 1: an hour, I mean, I feel like that's to be
Speaker 1: expected on one of those like super popular places. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like on our first day, what do you do? Just
Speaker 1: sit on the bench and like that's not enough time
Speaker 1: to like do something else. I can get a child's
Speaker 1: menu and color that inway. What did you decide to
Speaker 1: do there? Ben, Well, we talked about it and we
Speaker 1: were both like, not that long. It was a nice day.
Speaker 1: So we hung out outside and we we suck it out.
Speaker 1: Oh that was a good idea. That's awesome. How did
Speaker 1: that go? It went well. The only issue was that
Speaker 1: since we're both so excited to eat at this restaurant,
Speaker 1: that we didn't really have a lot of food that day. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you want to say space, you're like hungry before they
Speaker 1: call your name, and like, we've already gone through the menu,
Speaker 1: we know exactly what we wanted. But luckily I stuck
Speaker 1: my hands in my pocket and I realized I had
Speaker 1: two granola bars. Oh is that where you were strapped
Speaker 1: with the Yeah, he always be prepared. Yeah, that was perfect.
Speaker 1: And then when I brought out I was like, oh
Speaker 1: my gosh, look what I have. And you should have
Speaker 1: even look in her eyes. He looked at me like
Speaker 1: I was a savior because we were so starving. Yea perfect.
Speaker 1: It's like a prince charming night and shining armor moment.
Speaker 1: Come into the rescue. You gotta starting on this guy seriously.
Speaker 1: So at that point, what do you not even need
Speaker 1: to go into the dinner anymore? Or do you actually
Speaker 1: go into Well, we ate the granola bars and then
Speaker 1: time flew by and next thing we knew and they
Speaker 1: call their names, so we got great. So how did
Speaker 1: dinner go? Dinner went great? The food was literally incredible.
Speaker 1: You'll have to go to play. I'm so happy. And
Speaker 1: the conversation was also good. Everything was just going really well.
Speaker 1: It was a little expensive, but we both knew it
Speaker 1: was gonna be expensive. Did you did you cover the
Speaker 1: bill or did you agree to split it since it
Speaker 1: was a place you both wanted to go? I actually
Speaker 1: covered the bill, which I'm kind of regretting, but you know,
Speaker 1: now he's back, everything sounds really good. How did everything end?
Speaker 1: So we got our check and you know, I think
Speaker 1: we're going well. So we ended up actually just walking
Speaker 1: around this really nice park that was in the area,
Speaker 1: and we walked in. I was like, hey, do you
Speaker 1: want to go to my place? So? Are you going
Speaker 1: a drink or something? And he was like, yeah, sure,
Speaker 1: I'm down a lot of time together, she said yes, yeah,
Speaker 1: and you were feeling the vibe correctly, yeah, which good
Speaker 1: on you. Yes. So is this a situation where she
Speaker 1: ended up staying the night? No, but there was a
Speaker 1: kid that okay, why is she not calling you back?
Speaker 1: That's what I'm calling you, guys. I don't know. Okay,
Speaker 1: it's true. I guess we have more work to do,
Speaker 1: so we'll try and get prepared. Oh yeah, if you
Speaker 1: have granola bars, Jeffrey, please share. Let's all reach into
Speaker 1: each other's pockets and see what. Then when we come back,
Speaker 1: we'll call Terry for you and get your second date
Speaker 1: up date. Okay, all right, thank guys. All right, hold
Speaker 1: on second. One of our listeners, Ben went into his
Speaker 1: first date with a secret weapon in his pants. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he did, not just one, but two of them, and
Speaker 1: his date, Terry was thrilled about it, talking about granola
Speaker 1: bars left over from the last time that Ben wore
Speaker 1: those clothes. Good thing, they never aspire, I mean, and
Speaker 1: they're kind of nice when they're a little warm. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it did save them while they were waiting fifteen minutes
Speaker 1: to get a table at a very popular restaurant. So
Speaker 1: that helped kicked off a really fun date night that
Speaker 1: ultimately ended back at Ben's place. Now, Terry did not
Speaker 1: stay the night, but Ben did anything more happen now
Speaker 1: just to cans and then we said good night pretty much, Okay.
Speaker 1: Was there any talk of future plans while you were
Speaker 1: on the date. I mean, it just seems like you
Speaker 1: guys were vibing so much. She'd be like, Oh, I
Speaker 1: have this you know, musical artist I want to go see.
Speaker 1: You should come with me another food place. Yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: I was just like, let's meet up again, and she
Speaker 1: was just like, yeah, yeah, yeah, definitely definitely, And then
Speaker 1: next grand knew she was gone. I feel like, definitely
Speaker 1: definitely should be a confirmation, but I guess it's not. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: Let's just call Terry and we'll see what she has
Speaker 1: to say. It's weird that she's not calling you back
Speaker 1: after everything, so let's just give it a shot. Here
Speaker 1: we go. Okay, oh all right, Oh yeah, is this
Speaker 1: Terry She Hey, Harry, My name is Jeff from the
Speaker 1: radio show Brook and Jeffrey in the Morning. Um, okay,
Speaker 1: we're calling because we're wondering were you recently at a
Speaker 1: fancy restaurant stealing silverware? Um? Yeah, okay, so oh we
Speaker 1: got you. Please. Yes, I was at a fancy restaurant,
Speaker 1: but no, I did not steal any silverware, Jeff. Okay,
Speaker 1: so we may have the right girl for something else,
Speaker 1: maybe because there is somebody that I think you may
Speaker 1: have gone out with named Ben who's been trying to
Speaker 1: get a hold of you. Huh remember that? Yeah, I
Speaker 1: do remember that. Okay, Okay, So we spoke to Ben
Speaker 1: about your date, and on our end, things sounded really great. Wow, Okay,
Speaker 1: this is interesting. Yeah, and that's kind of what we're
Speaker 1: doing right now. It's called a second date update. We're
Speaker 1: trying to help Ben out, to figure out the reason
Speaker 1: why he's not getting a call back and maybe help
Speaker 1: fix whatever. If there is a problem with Ben. I
Speaker 1: don't know, maybe there's not, Maybe you just haven't had time. Okay, Well,
Speaker 1: this is just a little weird for me because I
Speaker 1: don't know what his situation is. But whatever it is,
Speaker 1: if you could just please tell him I'm out, you're out. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I don't mean that rude. I just that's where I'm
Speaker 1: at with this. Okay, that's fair. You're allowed to say that.
Speaker 1: But is there a reason why? Because he told us
Speaker 1: about the date to night, about you know, going out
Speaker 1: to dinner with you and waiting outside with a granola
Speaker 1: bar surprise, and his last impression was a really nice
Speaker 1: kiss and then you left. Look, everything leading up to
Speaker 1: dinner it went really really well, it was just back
Speaker 1: at his house. That was the issue for me. So
Speaker 1: really we didn't get a lot of details from that point.
Speaker 1: Is is it like really gross and messy or something. No,
Speaker 1: it's just not too clean, I mean, basically odd. I
Speaker 1: went to the restroom and I noticed that the shower
Speaker 1: curtain was completely closed. And I wasn't snooping or anything,
Speaker 1: but I just pink to see if it was clean
Speaker 1: or you know, behind the shower, because I want to
Speaker 1: make sure no one's in there. Yeah. Right, Yeah, she
Speaker 1: was judging to see if he'd clean out the drain. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, was it really gross? It was not
Speaker 1: gross at all. Oh, it was there were the bathtub
Speaker 1: was packed. It was covered in kids' toys, like I'm talking,
Speaker 1: you know, alligator things that spit stuff out of their mouth,
Speaker 1: and rubber duckies and and little mermaid dolls and just
Speaker 1: every bath story that you could think of from when
Speaker 1: you were like three. Wait, does he have kids? Does
Speaker 1: he not tell you that? Or something? That's exactly my point.
Speaker 1: I mean, to me, that only means one of two scenarios. A,
Speaker 1: you have kids and you just weren't honest with me
Speaker 1: about it. Did you ask him no, but we spoke
Speaker 1: about our feelings. Weird, what's option number two? Number two?
Speaker 1: You play with that toy? Like? What adult does that?
Speaker 1: Is that an option? I was afraid if you're going
Speaker 1: to find like another like female shampoon stuff. But this
Speaker 1: is worse. I don't know I could see, like, Okay,
Speaker 1: let's say, let's say he is a single dad, Like
Speaker 1: maybe that's just hard to start with, or maybe you
Speaker 1: don't want to bring your kids into your dating life.
Speaker 1: I don't know. There was no other kids stuff in
Speaker 1: the house. Well, I want to know which one it
Speaker 1: is one or two or maybe a secret option three?
Speaker 1: And we can actually ask him right now because Ben's
Speaker 1: been on the other line listening and wants to talk
Speaker 1: to you. Are you serious? Yeah, Hi, Terry, it's Ben. Okay, Ben,
Speaker 1: did you hear what she said? Yeah? Yeah, Terry, I
Speaker 1: just gotta tell you you got it all wrong. Those
Speaker 1: were not by toys O two cross that one off
Speaker 1: the list. Is that what you're saying? You don't play
Speaker 1: with the rubber ducky? No? No, I don't have the
Speaker 1: rubber duckies. My neighbor's kids do they come over and
Speaker 1: use my bathroom all the time? What guy, that's creepy.
Speaker 1: Oh no, sorry, I should explain my neighbor's uh, their
Speaker 1: their bathroom is broken. So yeah, they use my bathroom.
Speaker 1: All A lot of people use my bathroom. Why wait, now,
Speaker 1: a lot of people use your bathroom, Ben, like so
Speaker 1: often that they would bring all their children. It sounds
Speaker 1: a little fishy, honestly, Ben, All right, I yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't know what I'm even saying right now. You don't
Speaker 1: know what you're saying. Ah boy, Yeah, Terry, I gotta
Speaker 1: come clean. I I have four kids. You have four kids? Oh? Ben?
Speaker 1: Is that why you had a bunch of snacks in
Speaker 1: your pockets? Because I know it was so weird. Did
Speaker 1: you say that, Jeffrey, Because I'm the only one here
Speaker 1: that randomly finds food in my pockets children. I could
Speaker 1: pull out four bags of goldfish, probably out of my
Speaker 1: coat right now. You're hiding goldfish from well. I don't
Speaker 1: want her cocket, dude. Then why wouldn't you just tell
Speaker 1: her that? Because I know that she would have said
Speaker 1: no to the date if I told her I had
Speaker 1: the kids, so I wanted to you know, wait, that's
Speaker 1: absolutely not true. There are all kinds of people in
Speaker 1: this world. If you are a single, eligible bachelor who
Speaker 1: has four children and you put yourself out there, you're
Speaker 1: going to find a lot of girls that want to
Speaker 1: date you. What do they have children or not? This
Speaker 1: is a good we could do a test ride here. Alexis,
Speaker 1: would you date a guy with four kids? No? I
Speaker 1: mean you kind of think too. That's a different age
Speaker 1: then Alexis like, she's not going to find someone her
Speaker 1: age that has four children. I mean, the thing is, Ben,
Speaker 1: why would you want to date a woman who wouldn't
Speaker 1: want kids around? That feels like, I don't know, kind
Speaker 1: of a bad dad choice, not calling you a bad dad,
Speaker 1: just like just people like you, Yeah, just like the choice.
Speaker 1: You know, like you would want to be with someone
Speaker 1: who is excited about your children. You know, Dinge, she
Speaker 1: does have a point, bro, were you going to meet
Speaker 1: one by one? There's another that's another neighbor. I mean, Ben, uh, Look,
Speaker 1: I think that the biggest deal here is just a surprise.
Speaker 1: She didn't know about it. I mean, looking back on it,
Speaker 1: I understand why that would be a bit of a shocker.
Speaker 1: You understand that was so count you could be like
Speaker 1: a hot dad. But you know, if you look on
Speaker 1: the bright side here, Terry, at least you didn't have
Speaker 1: five kids. That didn't tell you what I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know my girlfriend who has a lot, she
Speaker 1: says after three, you don't even know the difference. I
Speaker 1: don't count. That makes this the perfect time to add
Speaker 1: asked Terry, would you like to go out on a
Speaker 1: date with father of the Year Ben? We will pay
Speaker 1: for it. No, no kid, we will pay for it.
Speaker 1: I mean I have a single friend. She's a single,
Speaker 1: panent mom of three. Maybe you guys would have more
Speaker 1: in comment. Okay, we still have an opportunity for another day.
Speaker 1: Then would you like to go out on a date
Speaker 1: with Terry's female friend who has three other kids? It's
Speaker 1: just one date? Is it? It's one date? I mean
Speaker 1: you never know, like maybe this is the kids met
Speaker 1: stuff that happens in the universe. Maybe use your bath, Ben,
Speaker 1: I don't really date people with kids. Actually, it's kind
Speaker 1: of a red flag for me. What's a red flag? Oh?
Speaker 1: Is that what you hid? You know? Date people with kids?
Speaker 1: Are you? I have enough for my own I don't
Speaker 1: need more on top of it. But that is not
Speaker 1: broke and Jeffrey in the morning. Well, I think we
Speaker 1: all know who's going to be winning Father of the Year. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm gonna say he doesn't have my boat. Shocking, shocking.
Speaker 1: What was it about him? And that just can't pinpointed.
Speaker 1: But I think I'm gonna start with hiding your children. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you wouldn't show up to accept the award? How is
Speaker 1: saying that he is not dating people that have kids?
Speaker 1: I get it, though, once you have four children, it's like,
Speaker 1: do I really want to add more on the list
Speaker 1: of responsibilities that I have here? So I don't necessarily
Speaker 1: blame him for turning down the date with the random
Speaker 1: girl he's never met before with three kids, But be
Speaker 1: upfront about your children. Yeah, and it is a little
Speaker 1: bit of a strange double standard. Oh my god, and
Speaker 1: his lie his life that he was trying to pull
Speaker 1: off that it was the neighbor's children coming over to
Speaker 1: use his bathtub? How is that a better line? That
Speaker 1: was actually the most disturbing. Yeah, I'm going to check
Speaker 1: showers from now on, every man top sech good rule,
Speaker 1: And remember, if you ever want to get a second
Speaker 1: date update, you can always email the show. We'll call
Speaker 1: the person who wasn't calling you back.
