Speaker 1: Second dat das Brook, how many horrible dates did you
Speaker 1: have to go on before you finally found your husband? Actually,
Speaker 1: don't answer that because I don't want to hear about
Speaker 1: the three twenty four of them? Would some good ones too? Actually,
Speaker 1: we just got ten texts into seventy five nine two
Speaker 1: saying the same thing. Please don't ask Brooke about her
Speaker 1: horrible dating. So I'm glad that we have someone else
Speaker 1: on the phone right now to share their bad dating
Speaker 1: stories with us. His name is James, and in his
Speaker 1: email he said he's been on so many awful dates
Speaker 1: it was just refreshing to finally meet a woman who
Speaker 1: he described as somewhat normal. So, James, welcome to the
Speaker 1: show man Thy thanks for having me. I appreciate it.
Speaker 1: Everyone's thinking, where did you find someone somewhat normal? Yeah? Now, James,
Speaker 1: a lot of people when they write to us, they
Speaker 1: focus on the date that they just had. Yeah. But
Speaker 1: I thought it was kind of funny that you mentioned
Speaker 1: a few of the bad experiences that you had before
Speaker 1: this into detail about it. The one that you said
Speaker 1: was you got invited by a girl to her church picnic.
Speaker 1: That is correct. She originally told me was if I
Speaker 1: wanted to see an outdoor play and I thought, you know,
Speaker 1: like Shakespeare in the Park kind of deal or something
Speaker 1: like that. Yeah, and that wasn't the case at all
Speaker 1: because I get there and she's dressed like the devil.
Speaker 1: Her face is painted red. Oh no, so not like
Speaker 1: a sexy devil like you were hoping for. Yeah, not
Speaker 1: at all. She is screaming, firing brimstone. Everyone's going to hell.
Speaker 1: It's kind of hot. That's a look at ye, I
Speaker 1: can use that. Okay. What was the other one that
Speaker 1: you mentioned? Something about mini golf? Yeah, I went on
Speaker 1: on a date with a girl with mini golf. I
Speaker 1: don't know if she had like a medical problem of what,
Speaker 1: but she couldn't stop farting. Sweet, and mini golf can,
Speaker 1: like if there's not a lot of people, can be
Speaker 1: really quiet. Yeah, the windmill isn't that loud, though she
Speaker 1: was trying to time it with the putter. She's screaming
Speaker 1: for I feel her. So so there was a lot
Speaker 1: of room for improvement. You're saying, tell us about the
Speaker 1: good date that you finally had. Who was that with?
Speaker 1: Her name is Vicky and I met her online. Her
Speaker 1: profile picture was pretty I mean I don't want to
Speaker 1: sound shallow here, but that's what dating online is set
Speaker 1: up for, right, Yeah, exactly, And she totally looks like
Speaker 1: her picture. We just quick, didn't we send multiple messages
Speaker 1: back and forth? I mean, with your history, were you
Speaker 1: thinking like, oh my god, there's no way this sounds
Speaker 1: too good to be true. Are you a devil farm mom? Yeah,
Speaker 1: you got to put yourself out there. Yeah, totally. So
Speaker 1: what did you and Vickie do for your date? We
Speaker 1: ended up going to a barcade. I don't know if
Speaker 1: you guys are familiar with that kind of like, oh yeah,
Speaker 1: I always wanted. No, it's really fun to today. I
Speaker 1: like old school atari games or any old arcade game
Speaker 1: or anything like that. So how was the arcade with Vicky?
Speaker 1: Do you guys have a good time? Yeah, dude, there's
Speaker 1: like this super awesome nostalgia factor going on. And yeah,
Speaker 1: this was I gut when going over the date. The
Speaker 1: only like hiccup is I came across my all time
Speaker 1: favorite video game, which is uh, the original teenage Mutant
Speaker 1: Ninja Turtles. Yeah. I found a place like that by
Speaker 1: my house and my son is obsessed with it now.
Speaker 1: A good game, Yeah, dude, I kill it, Raphael, I
Speaker 1: mean with the interesting choice. Why is that a bad
Speaker 1: moment in your date? Though? Because the problem is is
Speaker 1: once I found it, I wanted to play it, but
Speaker 1: I saw it across the room and as we were
Speaker 1: getting closer to it, I'm hyping it up. I'm like
Speaker 1: you're doing while playing this game. A group of tweenagers.
Speaker 1: They swooped in and started playing before I could get
Speaker 1: to it. Arcade Okay, yeah, yeah, it's one of those
Speaker 1: places where I like, I guess kids can get in there,
Speaker 1: in there and told nine pm or something. Okay, so again,
Speaker 1: why did that rule your date? You didn't get to
Speaker 1: play the game? Well, I did this thing where I
Speaker 1: stood awkwardly behind him, thinking that was like weird die
Speaker 1: super passive aggressive. Yeah exactly. You guys didn't go off
Speaker 1: and play something else. You're just standing there with your
Speaker 1: date as these teenagers we're seven bears and we're talking.
Speaker 1: But then the one kid just like looked over his
Speaker 1: shoulder and it's like, shut up. That's probably not a
Speaker 1: great look in front of your day. O. Man, I'm
Speaker 1: not going to back off and let these kids win
Speaker 1: because this is my game. Show off. Okay, this is
Speaker 1: the hill that you're choosing to die. Yes, the teenage
Speaker 1: newtont Ninja Turtles exactly, and it was like, you know what,
Speaker 1: let's drift on. So we then we left the barcade
Speaker 1: and we're on just get on the street to another bar,
Speaker 1: and she's like, I gotta wrap it up, and I'm like, dude,
Speaker 1: it's only eight thirty, and she was like, I gotta
Speaker 1: get up early in the morning and okay, And it
Speaker 1: felt like an excuse to you, dude a little bit.
Speaker 1: You think I really wanted to play in teenage meeting
Speaker 1: journals and she's like, Dad, say, if we're not gonna play,
Speaker 1: I'm going home. Yea exactly. But I mean it could
Speaker 1: have been turned off a little bit because I was
Speaker 1: being very forceful and very adamant about like, let's play
Speaker 1: this specific game, and then those the kids be injured,
Speaker 1: maybe killed the vibe. Kids always kill the vibe. I'm
Speaker 1: just gonna, you know, next time. Yeah, but I just
Speaker 1: need to know that was it. Just say that was it,
Speaker 1: and then like I will definitely make sure date number
Speaker 1: two will have no children at all. Yeah, Okay, well
Speaker 1: let's call her an ask. We'll see if that's the
Speaker 1: reason we'll play a song. Come back, call Vicky for
Speaker 1: you and try and get your second date up date. Okay,
Speaker 1: that'd be awesome. All right, hold on, it's here, Brooke
Speaker 1: and Jeffreys merch for a cause. Guy, let me tell
Speaker 1: us yes and one hundred percent of proceeds go to charity.
Speaker 1: Oh that's fine too, we can the proceeds to it.
Speaker 1: I do not say it's broken Jeffrey dot com, whichever
Speaker 1: or t shirt dot com. Second Date A great show,
Speaker 1: great theme song, and an even better arcade game. Sure,
Speaker 1: and our guy James just wanted to show his date
Speaker 1: how Raphael could do some serious damage with his front flips.
Speaker 1: But he never got that chance. And even worse than
Speaker 1: losing the chance to play the game, is he actually
Speaker 1: lost his date Vicky. Now it seems like she may
Speaker 1: have used an excuse to get out of there a
Speaker 1: little bit early, but we're not sure. And James thinks
Speaker 1: it might have been because he got into a verbal
Speaker 1: spat with some unruly tweens who were hogging the teenage
Speaker 1: Mutant Ninja Turtle machine. And I just have to ask you, James,
Speaker 1: what's the worst thing that you said to them when
Speaker 1: you were in an argument it was it was something
Speaker 1: worthy generic because you're arguing with kids, so you don't
Speaker 1: want to say something like I had your mom and
Speaker 1: your dad was watching. I just came to It's like
Speaker 1: you've been playing this fight over and over in your
Speaker 1: head exactly. So it was something like I think I
Speaker 1: hear your mom called okay, A probably should have gone
Speaker 1: with that first. Dis Yeah, I mean that would be
Speaker 1: a turn off for me. I never should have gotten
Speaker 1: into it with him at all. It's y's that and
Speaker 1: that you pick Raffael out of all of them. Maybe
Speaker 1: anybody else with that was a Donna tell guy. But see,
Speaker 1: I'm all Michael Angelo. Yeah, okay, I don't even know.
Speaker 1: I don't feel like we should discuss any more Tea
Speaker 1: Ninja Turtle character preference to your personality. I just think
Speaker 1: we should call Vicky and see what she has to say.
Speaker 1: Maybe she's really picky about the characters too. Maybe maybe
Speaker 1: she's a sperbe that's the daddy. So let's just do this.
Speaker 1: Here we go. I'm in a dollar number right now. Hello, Hey,
Speaker 1: is this Vicky Sicky? Hey Vicky, My name is Jeff
Speaker 1: from the radio show Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning. Okay, Um, hi, Hi,
Speaker 1: whole show is here. Hey, how are you doing? Um?
Speaker 1: I'm good. Is there a reason you're calling? Funny you
Speaker 1: should have? Yeah? Are you familiar with the show at all? Um? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I definitely listen. Um. Cool, I'm just a little nervous
Speaker 1: right now. Okay, Well, then you might be familiar with
Speaker 1: the second date updates. Oh yeah, okay, okay. Laugh is
Speaker 1: really cute though, Vicky, good job, it's cute. Well, we're
Speaker 1: calling obviously because one of our listeners went out with
Speaker 1: you recently and he's been having a hard time reaching
Speaker 1: you over the past week. Remember James, Oh yeah, oh gosh, Okay,
Speaker 1: it wasn't as fun for you as it was for James.
Speaker 1: It sounds like, I mean, I don't know how much
Speaker 1: he's told you, so I don't want to like, Okay,
Speaker 1: what we do know is you guys went to a barcade,
Speaker 1: had some drinks. We did. Yeah, we know that he
Speaker 1: was really interested in you. He thought you were cute,
Speaker 1: had great hair, fun personality. Yeah yeah, yeah. I mean
Speaker 1: did you think he was cute? Yeah? I definitely thought
Speaker 1: he was cute. Um, we were having a fun time.
Speaker 1: There was this kind of like a moment that was
Speaker 1: a little bit of a turning point for me. Um,
Speaker 1: is that anything to do with a group of superheroes? Turtles?
Speaker 1: All right, so you know a little bit about it.
Speaker 1: What he told us is that there were some kids
Speaker 1: hogging the teenage be a Ninja Turtle machine, and so
Speaker 1: it kind of exchanged words and just went somewhere else.
Speaker 1: But I mean, to be fair, we we told him that.
Speaker 1: That's like, I mean, for Alexis and I anyway, it'd
Speaker 1: be a pretty big red flag if he was arguing
Speaker 1: with teenagers or look. Yeah, yeah, not a good look.
Speaker 1: There's a little bit more to the story. Really, What
Speaker 1: do you mean like he did more than exchange words
Speaker 1: with him. I mean, I think he thinks I don't
Speaker 1: know about this part, but yeah, like he so he
Speaker 1: went to the bathroom before we were going to leave,
Speaker 1: and he came out and like had a cut on
Speaker 1: his lip. He looks kind of like bruised up and stuff,
Speaker 1: like he had something had happened and he happened in
Speaker 1: the bathroom. Yeah, oh god, yea. Sometimes all those those
Speaker 1: paper talis spencers the time they shoot him out real quick. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I mean that's what he said. He said he
Speaker 1: like flipped and accidentally bumped his face on the stall,
Speaker 1: and I was like, are you that drunk? First of all, huh,
Speaker 1: I mean they don't I will say a lot of
Speaker 1: arcades and not very clean bathrooms. It was a slippery
Speaker 1: school us. Well, what he doesn't know is uh. Like
Speaker 1: right before that, a few minutes before he came out,
Speaker 1: some of the middle schoolers came up to me who
Speaker 1: were playing the Ninja game and they, uh, they said, hey,
Speaker 1: tell you your boyfriend. If he mails off again, we're
Speaker 1: going to beat it worse than we just did. Oh
Speaker 1: they beat him up in the bathroom. I think so,
Speaker 1: because like in the moment, I was like, all right, whatever,
Speaker 1: And then when I saw him, I was like, oh
Speaker 1: my god, he just got beat up by a kid.
Speaker 1: Oh you like, what is he supposed to do? Hit
Speaker 1: him back? Those kids like him? No, I was just like,
Speaker 1: I'm done. This is definitely a red flag. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: are you more turned off that he fought or that
Speaker 1: he lost? I mean just the fact that the whole
Speaker 1: thing happened. Just yeah, given the adult in the situation,
Speaker 1: then you're gonna like fight with some middle schoolers in
Speaker 1: the bathroom and then you're gonna lie about it. Well,
Speaker 1: that's pretty embarrassing to admit. I mean, so look, here's
Speaker 1: what we know. We know that there was obviously some
Speaker 1: verbal stuff with the kids at the arcade. But yeah,
Speaker 1: you're saying you didn't actually see anything yourself, Vicky. So
Speaker 1: we need to go right to the source here and
Speaker 1: just ask James, you throw hands with some middle schoolers
Speaker 1: or one normal questions? Yeah, oh no, oh yeah, James,
Speaker 1: Well I didn't know they talked to you. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: it actually happened. Okay, okay, well they were first off,
Speaker 1: there were like seven of them. Okay, well okay there listen, listen.
Speaker 1: There were three of them, and one of them wasn't
Speaker 1: so don't that's why. Yeah, weapon he would swim with them.
Speaker 1: How did that happen? How did that happen in the bathroom?
Speaker 1: I mean, they have handle mouths, That's what happened. So
Speaker 1: I hadn't defend myself. Did you ask them to fight
Speaker 1: you in the bathroom? No? I went into the restroom
Speaker 1: to do the normal things, just leave myself, and then
Speaker 1: all of a sudden I get sucker punch from behind
Speaker 1: with a clutch. That's when they start running their mouths.
Speaker 1: And I square up and I yeah, it was a
Speaker 1: fight or flight moment. And here's the problem is I
Speaker 1: swung on one of them and I've met Okay, so
Speaker 1: you actually tried to throw a punch at one of
Speaker 1: these kids. This is not making it better. Like you're
Speaker 1: telling it in more details make it better. They were
Speaker 1: attacking me. I was ending myself and I was defending you.
Speaker 1: You were You were not defending me. I was defending
Speaker 1: your honor. I was defending your honor because these kids
Speaker 1: were saying you had small boots. I was like, you
Speaker 1: don't want and what's wrong with small boobs? Thank you everyone.
Speaker 1: You guys are laughing and thinking this isn't serious, but
Speaker 1: it was. It was really serious. He had me in
Speaker 1: a headlock. I was losing consciousness and he was like
Speaker 1: just about to go home shorter than you. Parents stop
Speaker 1: their kids in taekwondo? Are you exaggerating, James? Like it
Speaker 1: feels like this story just keeps getting more out of control.
Speaker 1: You have been there like I was. It was a
Speaker 1: desperate situation and I was in a point where I
Speaker 1: was willing to do anything I could to get out
Speaker 1: of it. It could be scary to be provoked I
Speaker 1: just kids running around you, no matter how big they are.
Speaker 1: I think there was only three. But yeah, I'm just
Speaker 1: hoping now that we've heard the full story, can you
Speaker 1: hear where he's coming from. He was defending your honor,
Speaker 1: defending himself, and maybe he deserves a second chance. We'd
Speaker 1: like to pay for another date with James. You never
Speaker 1: connected any punches. And for the record, for the record,
Speaker 1: nobody here thinks that you have small boobs. We think
Speaker 1: they are just the size. Okay, yes, no, I'm not interested.
Speaker 1: This thing is even worse than it was when I
Speaker 1: heard from the kids. This is ridiculous. Man, I get
Speaker 1: beat up by a mob of bugs and I'm not
Speaker 1: getting a second date out of it. James, the story
Speaker 1: just kids get one of the kids was a crutches.
Speaker 1: Have you not seen like Return of the Jedi? Like
Speaker 1: you could spend that thing around and around. You should
Speaker 1: have gone rapie. Here we go, Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 1: I think we all can agree violence is never the answer,
Speaker 1: unless the question is who's hogging the teenage mutant Ninja
Speaker 1: Turtle Arcadere. No, the unwritten rule is you have free
Speaker 1: reign to swing on children. Okay, you tell me the rules.
Speaker 1: I don't know them. Listen, I will give it can
Speaker 1: be scary to be you know, jumped. Well, yeah, one
Speaker 1: time in the park I had I stopped a group
Speaker 1: of eighth graders from fighting. Okay, so you were able
Speaker 1: to stop them with a baby on my hip. So
Speaker 1: I didn't know. I mean, there's probably easier ways that
Speaker 1: he could have de escalated the issue. Okay. They were
Speaker 1: kind of frightening, okay, kind of thing. You know that
Speaker 1: there's some woman out there listening who really feels bad
Speaker 1: for James. It's the mother of the children. No uarantee
Speaker 1: that we're going to get text into seventy five nine
Speaker 1: two from some women saying he was the victim and
Speaker 1: he was fully in his right to defend himself and
Speaker 1: he's actually a hero. The kids are just trying to
Speaker 1: play their video game. Yeah, if he have not, like
Speaker 1: I know, but if he wouldn't have started the whole
Speaker 1: thing to begin with, who's the kid? Now. It's a
Speaker 1: good reminder though, so all of our listeners, Hey, if
Speaker 1: you're going out on a date tonight, don't beat up
Speaker 1: any kids. No, your instincts might tell you to do it,
Speaker 1: but you have to resist. Yeah, anyway. I remember, if
Speaker 1: you want to get a second date update or other
Speaker 1: awesome dating advice, you can always email the show. We'll
Speaker 1: call the person who wasn't calling you back. To be
