Speaker 1: Second date up Date, a guy named Chris wrote us
Speaker 1: saying he's made a rule to never ask a woman
Speaker 1: out ever again.
Speaker 2: Really wowa after whatever happened that he's on the phone
Speaker 2: with us for it before.
Speaker 1: I'm just reading this from his email. But Chris explained
Speaker 1: he learned a new strategy from a video that he
Speaker 1: saw where if you're a guy and you say, hey,
Speaker 1: would you like to go out to dinner with me
Speaker 1: on Saturday night? Yeah, You're already putting yourself at a
Speaker 1: disadvantage right there. Why Because in the woman's mind, she
Speaker 1: is thinking, if I say yes, then I'm doing him
Speaker 1: a favor and he's gonna end up having a great
Speaker 1: night because of me.
Speaker 2: Wait, she's not thinking, wow, I'm really excited to us
Speaker 2: free meal.
Speaker 1: Yeah, she's thinking. She's thinking, sorry, I was being more
Speaker 1: going beyond the meal. She's thinking, if I say yes,
Speaker 1: then I'm giving him the gift of spending time with me.
Speaker 1: If I say no, then this loser has nothing going
Speaker 1: on in his life. He is going to spend the
Speaker 1: entire evening all alone in his apartment watching net FLA
Speaker 1: and eating old pizza.
Speaker 3: I don't know that that's right. I don't think that's
Speaker 3: how women think.
Speaker 1: Even if that's not true, that's what he says. That's
Speaker 1: what a lot of women think. So instead, he uses
Speaker 1: a different strategy that makes him look really, really good
Speaker 1: when he asks people out, all right, I want to
Speaker 1: know what it is.
Speaker 3: I love when men say what women think. It's so cute. Okay, continue, Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, let's talk to Chris about this and see what
Speaker 1: it's all about. Chris, how you doing?
Speaker 4: Man? Hey, good man, how are you?
Speaker 1: I'm very curious to learn what this strategy is.
Speaker 2: So wait, is the strategy something you came up with
Speaker 2: or is this also from the video that Jeff referenced.
Speaker 4: No, I learned this on an Instagram video. But I
Speaker 4: am telling you it works ninety percent of the time.
Speaker 4: It's a fantastic little trick here.
Speaker 1: Okay, So you don't ask a woman, hey, do you
Speaker 1: want to go out to dinner with me? What do
Speaker 1: you do? Instead?
Speaker 4: See what you got to do is you got to
Speaker 4: tell them that you're already doing something, and then you
Speaker 4: invite them to come along with you.
Speaker 3: Okay, So like you're going to dinner by yourself.
Speaker 1: I mean, funny. I think you have a lot of friends,
Speaker 1: and I'm sure you have a very active social life, Chris.
Speaker 3: What if you don't have plans already?
Speaker 4: Well, yes, you got to plan out your night a
Speaker 4: little bit, right, You got to put a little thought
Speaker 4: into this.
Speaker 3: That's a positive.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you tell you got the night planned, You've got
Speaker 4: your going out to dinner. You're gonna go do X
Speaker 4: y Z. Now she's got a little bit of foemo.
Speaker 4: She got a little bit of that fear of missing
Speaker 4: out on some action.
Speaker 1: I see what you're saying. You're saying you're trying to
Speaker 1: put the idea into the girl's head that you have
Speaker 1: a life outside of her, that she's not the only
Speaker 1: thing that's happening. And her answer isn't going to change you.
Speaker 1: But if she's lucky, you can squeeze her in right.
Speaker 3: So, Okay, who did this work on that you went
Speaker 3: out with?
Speaker 4: Yeah? So this worked on Gina girl I met online
Speaker 4: on one of the apps. Very funny. Her and I
Speaker 4: were talking. Both had a sense of humor.
Speaker 3: That's sweet. What was your pole? What did you already
Speaker 3: have planned that she could join you for?
Speaker 4: So I invited her this place that was opening that
Speaker 4: was serving some amazing seafood.
Speaker 1: Okay, you're like, oh, I'm going to check out this
Speaker 1: new seafood place. You want to come with?
Speaker 4: Yeah, But I said, listen, we have half an hour,
Speaker 4: like you got to get ready now, you know a
Speaker 4: little bit of urgency.
Speaker 1: Maybe a girl i'd be like, yeah, dog some food.
Speaker 3: I mean I feel like I would say yes just
Speaker 3: because of the pressure, no.
Speaker 5: Matter what you're wearing.
Speaker 3: I don't.
Speaker 1: Okay, you created urgency there that that's a good thing.
Speaker 1: So she was up for it.
Speaker 4: She was up for it, so I pick her up.
Speaker 4: She looked good. I looked good, and I told her,
Speaker 4: I said listen, I'll drive. Get in the car. I'll
Speaker 4: drive us there. And we were almost there. I like it,
Speaker 4: keep going, I said, listen, put on this blindfold because
Speaker 4: where we're going it's going to be a surprise, and
Speaker 4: I want to surprise you.
Speaker 1: Okay, super romance. If this has been your girlfriend for
Speaker 1: two years, but a first date you've never met her before,
Speaker 1: hold on, let's not judge until we hear where this goes.
Speaker 4: So she puts the blindfold off. Okay, trusting we get there.
Speaker 4: I take the blindfold off and she sees a file
Speaker 4: of fish from McDonald's right in front of her.
Speaker 1: Fresh food.
Speaker 3: Why I thought you were taking her to seafood.
Speaker 4: Hey it was seafood, right, It is technically fished.
Speaker 1: This whole thing was a prank that you were playing
Speaker 1: on her, telling her she's gonna have this nice meal,
Speaker 1: and you really took her to a fast food place
Speaker 1: and gave her a sheish.
Speaker 4: So she takes the blindfold off and she's looking at
Speaker 4: this file of fish, and I just see this look
Speaker 4: of confusion over her face. She was she went through
Speaker 4: every emotion. She was like pissed off for a second,
Speaker 4: but at the end of it, she just started to laugh.
Speaker 3: Good.
Speaker 1: Wow, I mean she took it the right way.
Speaker 3: Either that or she's laughing like, oh my god. Of
Speaker 3: course this is my dating life. You're the virginiers.
Speaker 1: Yeah, after the joke is over, were you able to
Speaker 1: establish a romantic bond with her?
Speaker 4: Yeah? No, don't forget. I'm dressed up too. So it
Speaker 4: was funny. You know.
Speaker 1: The whole thing is it's not just at her expense.
Speaker 3: Wow, I'm just still processing it.
Speaker 1: All the girls are like, y, So, how how did
Speaker 1: the date end?
Speaker 4: It was good, right, So we had a great time.
Speaker 4: I dropped her off at her place and she even
Speaker 4: admitted that that was funny.
Speaker 1: Okay, So what what's happened since then?
Speaker 4: So four or five days ago she invites me over
Speaker 4: to come to her place and hang out.
Speaker 1: Oh, during the nighttime or the daytime.
Speaker 3: I don't think she's gonna say, come over at nine am, Jeffrey.
Speaker 3: But she's got, like, I don't know, a sink to
Speaker 3: unclog her get over here.
Speaker 1: I thought it's a valid question. The timing was important.
Speaker 1: That's a good sign that she wants you over at
Speaker 1: any time of the day.
Speaker 4: I guess.
Speaker 3: I mean, she obviously likes you. She's inviting me over,
Speaker 3: So that's what I thought.
Speaker 4: So I go to her house. I knock on her
Speaker 4: door and she doesn't answer.
Speaker 3: Oh what, Maybe it's another prank. You guys are just
Speaker 3: the prank couple.
Speaker 5: I would feel good to get him back, Actually it
Speaker 5: would laughing.
Speaker 1: On the other end, if it was really late at night,
Speaker 1: maybe she fell asleep before he arrived.
Speaker 3: Oh that's happened. Or if it was early in the morning.
Speaker 1: Maybe this is why the time question was so important.
Speaker 1: I guess we're never gonna know what time of day
Speaker 1: it was was, d did you hit snooze, buddy? We're
Speaker 1: never gonna know because now we gotta go, and we're
Speaker 1: gonna come back and try and get you a second
Speaker 1: date update and maybe get some clarity on what time
Speaker 1: it was right after this hold on second date update.
Speaker 1: Pranking your date on your very first meetup is either
Speaker 1: the move of a very confident man or a very
Speaker 1: foolish one thing. We're just trying to figure out which
Speaker 1: one of those categories are. Listener Chris falls into because
Speaker 1: he convinced his date Gina, to dress up really really nice,
Speaker 1: to go out and eat some seafood.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and she only had a half an hour to
Speaker 3: get ready.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Technically he wasn't lying because he did treat her to
Speaker 1: seafood a filet of fish sandwich at a McDonald's.
Speaker 2: Which I will say, it's my best friend's favorite. If
Speaker 2: a man took her to get a yes she's she'd
Speaker 2: be like, I'm divorcing my husband to marry you.
Speaker 1: Books friends love language. But they were able to laugh
Speaker 1: about it afterwards after the prank was over, and they've
Speaker 1: been in contact since then. She hadn't invited him over,
Speaker 1: so a lot of good signs. The only problem is
Speaker 1: it's not resulting in a date yet. But that's going
Speaker 1: to be our job to step in.
Speaker 3: That's crazy that she didn't answer the door, just standing there.
Speaker 1: I know, that's rude. Actually, yeah, maybe he got the
Speaker 1: wrong door. We don't know. I didn't think. Maybe it
Speaker 1: was a big apartment complex and she just texted the
Speaker 1: apartment like building, not a specific rum.
Speaker 4: No, it definitely wasn't the wrong door because it was
Speaker 4: the same door that I picked her up in.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, oh yeah, I forgot about that part.
Speaker 4: Thank you.
Speaker 1: All right, Well I'm a dummy, So let's just end
Speaker 1: this part and get to the part where we call
Speaker 1: her and figure out what's going on.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, I'm just a little lost here because
Speaker 4: I'm knocking at the door she didn't answer, and you know,
Speaker 4: I don't know what's going on here.
Speaker 3: You are being really understanding, which is nice.
Speaker 1: I mean, she invited you over for sure, Like there
Speaker 1: wasn't like, uh, you know, there was no miscommunication text.
Speaker 3: How do you miscommunicate that?
Speaker 1: I don't know, you want to kick it sometime and
Speaker 1: he's like on my way.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, no, this was very clear, point blank.
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, let's just point blank ask her why she's
Speaker 1: not going out with you. I'm dialing her number right
Speaker 1: now here we go. Hello, Hey, is this Gina?
Speaker 4: Yeah? This is she?
Speaker 1: Are you sure you're Gina? Took a second.
Speaker 3: She knows she's Gina, she doesn't know who you are.
Speaker 4: OK.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well you're the weird one in this situation.
Speaker 1: I'm jeff from a radio show called Brook and Jeffrey
Speaker 1: in the Morning the whole shows here.
Speaker 3: Hello, Yeah, I know, yeah, it's a little weird.
Speaker 5: What's this about?
Speaker 1: This is about a segment that we do called a
Speaker 1: second Date Update, and we're trying to help one of
Speaker 1: our listeners meet up with you again after you already
Speaker 1: went out with him one time. His name is Chris.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I know Chris. But did I sign up to this?
Speaker 1: No, this isn't something you sign up for. Chris emailed
Speaker 1: us because he told us about your guys' first date together.
Speaker 3: He's a spontaneous guy that Chris right. Pretty funny too.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's quite the charmer.
Speaker 1: Yeah is that good? This about the little practical joke
Speaker 1: that he played.
Speaker 2: I would love to know what was going through your
Speaker 2: head when he put a blindfold on you.
Speaker 3: You put it on yourself, I guess.
Speaker 5: But well, I mean at that point I didn't have
Speaker 5: a choice. I was in his car, but.
Speaker 3: You had a choice to put the blindfold on. You
Speaker 3: could have said no.
Speaker 1: I mean you're fully committed.
Speaker 5: I was committed. I mean I like him, and I
Speaker 5: mean it was low key funny at the end of
Speaker 5: the day.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean we got the sense that you
Speaker 1: must have liked him because we heard that you even
Speaker 1: invited him over one one or one time.
Speaker 3: It wasn't I don't know specifically, so hung up on that.
Speaker 1: I like an idiot for it. Well, okay, you invited
Speaker 1: him over at some point, and he says that he
Speaker 1: went there and that you didn't answer the door.
Speaker 5: Oh so he told you that part too.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it was a pretty important part of everything, right,
Speaker 2: because that's when that's when he stopped responding to him.
Speaker 1: Well, the weird thing is that normally when we do
Speaker 1: this segment, people will ghost each other over text, or
Speaker 1: they'll just like break off communication. They won't actually set
Speaker 1: up a time to meet that person at their own
Speaker 1: place and then just not show up and answer the door.
Speaker 2: Piar you know, I kind of like the old school
Speaker 2: physically doing there.
Speaker 3: It's a lot more mystery.
Speaker 1: She's just watching in through the key hole. We're just
Speaker 1: trying to help Chris get some understanding of what's going
Speaker 1: on between you two.
Speaker 5: You know, given his well thought out plan, I wanted
Speaker 5: to get him back. And my plan didn't work.
Speaker 2: Wait what you were setting up a whole elaborate prank
Speaker 2: to prank him back?
Speaker 5: Of course?
Speaker 1: Oh what didn't work? What part of the plan?
Speaker 5: So I took him that night and I said, hey,
Speaker 5: do you wanna hook up? Hey?
Speaker 1: All right?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 5: It was a up text, right, And so I was like,
Speaker 5: I need you to come over in a half hour.
Speaker 2: That should have been the red flag for him, is
Speaker 2: the half hour because he gave.
Speaker 1: Her a half hour was mirroring his He still, oh
Speaker 1: my gosh, we're hooking up? Oh my god?
Speaker 3: And so what's the joke?
Speaker 5: So, I mean it was late, and he did come over.
Speaker 5: And the thing is that I have a friend who's
Speaker 5: a tow truck driver. Okay, okay, So I live on
Speaker 5: the third floor and I have a clear view to
Speaker 5: the street view, and he would have seen the tow
Speaker 5: truck driver hook up his car.
Speaker 3: You weren't going to answer the door, and you were
Speaker 3: going to get his car towed. And that was the joke, I.
Speaker 5: Mean, not fully towed. But you know, hooked up at
Speaker 5: least to the tow truck.
Speaker 1: So that was the joke. You invited him to be
Speaker 1: hooking up, and what you meant was hooking up his
Speaker 1: car to a tow truck.
Speaker 5: What else would you have done? He did the whole
Speaker 5: seafood thing that it's.
Speaker 3: A little fall, So I don't think he got the joke. Wait,
Speaker 3: did the tow truck happened because he didn't tell us
Speaker 3: about it?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 5: See, that's the thing. My friend had another call where
Speaker 5: he actually was gonna make some money and he oh.
Speaker 1: That's why your plan failed. Good thing you didn't call.
Speaker 3: So why haven't you called him back?
Speaker 5: Well, because I'm trying to set this up again. It
Speaker 5: was a great idea.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, my god, you guys meant for each other.
Speaker 1: It's ruined.
Speaker 3: Wouldn't have been ruined if we didn't call her out.
Speaker 4: I know.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. We totally screwed this up for you, your
Speaker 1: whole plan because actually Chris has been on the other
Speaker 1: line listening to this conversation the entire time.
Speaker 5: Are you guys hidting me?
Speaker 1: No? No, did you want to?
Speaker 3: Oh that was good hose Edge. Yeah, yeah, I'm sorry,
Speaker 3: it was an elaborate praise you guy.
Speaker 5: You ruined everything that's Chris there.
Speaker 4: Yeah, wow, this is not cool, Gina, not cool?
Speaker 3: What why aren't you laughing? Chris? I thought this would
Speaker 3: be exactly your type of humor.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but my car? Who I mean, that's an it's
Speaker 4: an expensive car. You gotta be careful. I mean that
Speaker 4: she's gonna have my car, Toad. You can damage the car.
Speaker 1: What did I do?
Speaker 4: I bought her a.
Speaker 3: Mssdonald didn't know we had the fun police on the.
Speaker 5: N't buddies have damaged their car while they're getting town
Speaker 5: fish fullg.
Speaker 1: But the plan, I don't think the plan was to
Speaker 1: totally like tow your car away to some like car
Speaker 1: lot and make you pay to get it out. I've
Speaker 1: ever heard it. I think it was just like to
Speaker 1: hook it up as a joke, right, Gina, Right?
Speaker 5: I mean it would have worked had my friend not
Speaker 5: had to leave for a real call.
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm glad the plant didn't work. That's not
Speaker 4: that's not even a prank. I mean, my pranks are good.
Speaker 2: Oh god, I thought you were going to be so
Speaker 2: excited you just found out this woman that you like
Speaker 2: was planning on seeing you again.
Speaker 4: Yeah, listen, this doesn't work in a relationship. There's only
Speaker 4: room for like one funny person.
Speaker 3: Not too god.
Speaker 1: And it's the same thing with the morning show. Only
Speaker 1: one of us can be funny. And yeah that's Jeff. No,
Speaker 1: I don't know who it is.
Speaker 5: Wasn't that funny? Honestly, this is.
Speaker 1: Going south a little bit.
Speaker 2: I can't believe you found a woman who was okay
Speaker 2: with being pranked into a McDonald's dinner and you're negative.
Speaker 5: About blindfold blindfolded.
Speaker 1: I forgot that it is. I mean, look, Chris, she's
Speaker 1: able to brush off your prank. Why can't you just
Speaker 1: brush off hers and laugh with her?
Speaker 4: Her prank is borderline dangerous, and you know she's gonna
Speaker 4: try to prank me again somehow, and who knows, you
Speaker 4: might set the house on fire. I don't know like this, I.
Speaker 5: Have about four or five ideas.
Speaker 1: There is a prank cover.
Speaker 2: I think they're coming, whether they go out again or not.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I mean there's unfinished business between you guys,
Speaker 1: whether it's romance or pranking each other. So I'm going
Speaker 1: to offer to send you guys out again on another
Speaker 1: date that we would pay for. Plus we'll toss in
Speaker 1: a couple of Brook and Jeffrey whoopee cushions from I'm probably.
Speaker 4: Gonna stop you right there and just say that I'm
Speaker 4: not interested in you.
Speaker 5: Probably yeah, are you?
Speaker 3: It was one bad taking the mud.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if I apologize to Gina here, or
Speaker 1: if I apologize to Chris, or maybe I should just
Speaker 1: apologize to the listeners. Listeners, I'm sorry that you had
Speaker 1: to sit through.
Speaker 4: All of that.
Speaker 3: It was just a joke. We got.
Speaker 4: Second date phone tap so good.
Speaker 1: It'soking Jeffrey in the morning. Why doesn't anybody just blurt
Speaker 1: out I love you anymore on the first date. Why
Speaker 1: is it that everybody is like I saw on Instagram
Speaker 1: video and now I'm gonna trick the person and prank them,
Speaker 1: and then they're gonna prank me back, and now everything's
Speaker 1: confusing and unclear. But that's just how dating is because
Speaker 1: it's the Internet trend right now.
Speaker 2: I think even before the Internet, nobody's blurting out I
Speaker 2: love you on the first day.
Speaker 3: Jeff I was weird in like eighteen fifty.
Speaker 1: It's weird the good old days. I am begging anybody listen,
Speaker 1: if you recently went on a first date and you
Speaker 1: confessed you're under love for them in the first ten minutes,
Speaker 1: and you're wondering why they're not calling you back? Shoot
Speaker 1: us an email. I would love to do an easy, simple,
Speaker 1: straightforward call like that.
Speaker 3: Why you're just telling me? Well, because they don't love
Speaker 3: you back? What do you want?
Speaker 1: They were too perfect, yes calls.
Speaker 2: I don't know what world you and Jose are living
Speaker 2: in right now, but I don't think it exists.
Speaker 1: I'm having a good time in it. Yeah, I guess
Speaker 1: we'll just stick with the total confusion and game playing
Speaker 1: and pranking. All right.
Speaker 3: It makes for great radio, jeff isn't that what we're
Speaker 3: here for?
Speaker 4: That? It's sure?
Speaker 1: The text ward is lit up. My head hurts, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I love it. Creat you can always email the show.
Speaker 1: We'll call that person. Wasn't calling you that?
Speaker 3: Frooking Jeffrey in the morning.
