Speaker 1: The second date of date. Who do you trust for
Speaker 1: advice on your dating life? Your friends? Yeah, yes, they're
Speaker 1: not really looking out for you. Yes, they might say that.
Speaker 1: Not your coworkers, yikes. Absolutely, chat GPT, I mean probably not.
Speaker 2: Still trust them, trust all the computer minds.
Speaker 1: But when chat GPT runs out of date ideas, you
Speaker 1: got to turn to the sure thing, your therapist for
Speaker 1: hot dating tips.
Speaker 2: Wait, I mean maybe like relationship advice, but hot dating day.
Speaker 1: That's what one of our listeners, Hannah did, and the
Speaker 1: great advice from her therapist has landed her here with
Speaker 1: us today. Therapist, I think it's all working out well, Hannah,
Speaker 1: welcome to the show.
Speaker 2: Hey, I want to hear the therapist some time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what did your therapist say?
Speaker 3: Well, I was talking about my struggles dating and she
Speaker 3: kind of called me out on that I'm maybe not
Speaker 3: always being my most authentic self and that could be
Speaker 3: why I'm struggling here.
Speaker 2: Okay, that's what you're paying her for, you out professionally.
Speaker 1: She said, to just be the real you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just encouraging me to be myself the problem.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so what did you do to accomplish that?
Speaker 3: So I was kind of racking my brain, like thinking,
Speaker 3: what are things.
Speaker 2: That I like?
Speaker 3: And I love the show Cobra Kai.
Speaker 2: Oh like the Karate Kids spin off?
Speaker 3: Yes, Cobra Kai.
Speaker 2: I did not expect us to go there. So did
Speaker 2: you take a karate class then or something? Uh?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm get him there.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, okay, Well I guess who'd you go out with?
Speaker 3: His name is Mike?
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah? Did you meet him at the karate class
Speaker 2: or did you take a class together?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 3: We took a class together. Interesting, but I met him online?
Speaker 1: Oh so how did this date happen? Can you like
Speaker 1: run us through it?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Well we set up just like a dinner date. Okay,
Speaker 3: nice and she and it was a fun time and
Speaker 3: like we were hitting it off.
Speaker 1: So you're matching the Cobra Kai theme to the meal too.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, sushi?
Speaker 2: You have like all kind of Asian culture influences. Yes,
Speaker 2: nice and sushi was good. You guys had good conversation
Speaker 2: or like, what's the highlights there?
Speaker 3: We were just goofing around. We were like play fighting.
Speaker 2: What you like with the chopsticks his swords? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay. To be honest, I wouldn't normally act like
Speaker 3: this on my dates, Like maybe I was a little
Speaker 3: too nerdy, but I kept hearing be my most authentic self,
Speaker 3: kind of saying it like as a mantra.
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, So when you brought up Cobra Kai with Mike,
Speaker 1: was he into it?
Speaker 3: He'd actually never seen it, but he had heard of it,
Speaker 3: and I think he'd been meaning to watch it.
Speaker 2: Okay, it's a good that's like.
Speaker 1: A show him. Yeah, totally if everything goes well, of course.
Speaker 3: Yeah. And you know I tried to go that route
Speaker 3: invite him over to watch it at my place.
Speaker 2: You I think that he's probably planning on more than
Speaker 2: Cobra Kai. You know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm more like cobra thighs.
Speaker 2: What sorry?
Speaker 1: So did he say?
Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, he was kind of like, I don't know
Speaker 3: how late I can stay out.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, that makes sense. I mean literally people that
Speaker 1: before it makes sense. But not in a dating world
Speaker 1: like that. Invite is what every guy is waiting.
Speaker 2: You want to go, you'll stay up. Not every guy
Speaker 2: wants to hook up on the first date. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 2: maybe she got the one percent, you know, So were
Speaker 2: you okay with that?
Speaker 3: Yeah? I was okay with that because I had a
Speaker 3: backup plan.
Speaker 2: Okay, authentic self. What was that?
Speaker 3: My authentic self decided that we could like go do
Speaker 3: like a trial martial arts class.
Speaker 1: Ah, so it's you, Mike and a room full of
Speaker 1: six year old So you.
Speaker 2: Went straight from the restaurant to a karate class.
Speaker 3: It was actually next door. I sort of might have
Speaker 3: planned that, had.
Speaker 1: A whole plan. He's either going to my house.
Speaker 2: We're rolling on my bed or rolling on some man.
Speaker 2: Why do I picture him in jeans trying to do karate?
Speaker 2: Did he have the right outfit for it?
Speaker 3: What do they give you?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 3: Yeah, they provided us with the Yeah, and I think
Speaker 3: we had Fun'd be awesome.
Speaker 1: I got some sweet nunchucks in my truck anyway.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so let me get my throwing stuff.
Speaker 1: Wasn't it fun as good? Was it romantic?
Speaker 2: Or?
Speaker 3: I think so? Because really, you know, like the kind
Speaker 3: of fighting, it's like there's tension, it's kind of flirty.
Speaker 2: And I also think just tried anything new with a
Speaker 2: person like helps bond.
Speaker 1: You right, don't know what's going on.
Speaker 2: It's a shared experience. You could either laugh at how
Speaker 2: bad you.
Speaker 1: Are or I slowly choke them out.
Speaker 2: Did they do that at the beginners? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, let's let's let's get to the end of
Speaker 1: the night. How did you leave things?
Speaker 3: We just said goodbye to each other, kind of outside hug,
Speaker 3: kiss a little kids.
Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, that's something. And what's happened since the date?
Speaker 3: Well, it hasn't been that long. But I actually saw
Speaker 3: my therapist.
Speaker 2: Okay, did you giggle through that session too? Yeah?
Speaker 3: I think I definitely did because I really was trying
Speaker 3: to be my most authentic self.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you told her about the date, then.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I did. I told her about it.
Speaker 2: So why are you calling us? Then?
Speaker 3: Well, she kind of made me doubt things because she
Speaker 3: said to me like that might have been a little.
Speaker 4: Too much, too authentic, not necessarily that, but that there
Speaker 4: are other parts to me, like I'm not just copra kai.
Speaker 1: Okay, well, like you only focus on martial arts.
Speaker 2: Tell your therapist. You're not gonna show this guy everything
Speaker 2: in the first night.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's Brooks movies.
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe second date material.
Speaker 1: All right, you got to leave something to learn, open up,
Speaker 1: show him more of your interests when you meet up
Speaker 1: a second time. So hopefully we can facilitate that. We'll
Speaker 1: come back call Mike for you and try and get
Speaker 1: you your second date. Update right after this.
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, hold on.
Speaker 1: Update. This is the theme song for the original Karate Kids.
Speaker 2: Okay, you're the best around, Jeff.
Speaker 1: Wow, coming on a little strong man, authentic self. I'm
Speaker 1: real thoughts right now. But I know it's been a
Speaker 1: while since we've all seen the original movie, but I'll
Speaker 1: tell you the overall theme of it is an underdog
Speaker 1: who's up against the odds, finally faces his fears and
Speaker 1: his bullies and comes away with the trophy.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Everyone loves an underdog story. And that's our listener Hannah today.
Speaker 1: And Hannah's trophy that she's after is a man named
Speaker 1: Mike she met online and personally, Hannah, I just want
Speaker 1: to say your idea for like a Cobra kai themed
Speaker 1: date going to sushi and doing a karate class together. Like,
Speaker 1: we never hear women going out of their way to
Speaker 1: set things up like this. It's usually the men that
Speaker 1: try and arrange a date like this. It is refreshing.
Speaker 1: I commend you on what you did here.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think, Oh, I get it. Get it another.
Speaker 2: I'm striking first like a cobra. I think it's marriage material.
Speaker 1: Wow, you're just.
Speaker 2: Think I think she's marriage material and this guy is
Speaker 2: going to be missing out if he doesn't give you
Speaker 2: another chance.
Speaker 1: All right, we're sitting the bar. Yeah, would you like
Speaker 1: Brooke to tell him that as soon as we get
Speaker 1: him on the phone, or we can hold off for
Speaker 1: a second.
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's just speed natural and chill about it at Okay,
Speaker 3: see what happens.
Speaker 1: And then then we'll get to the waxing on and
Speaker 1: off and all that.
Speaker 2: That's right, that's a good part of the movie.
Speaker 1: Here we go, let's dial the phone number and hopefully
Speaker 1: he picks up. Here we go. Hello, Hey, we're looking
Speaker 1: for Mike.
Speaker 5: This is Mike.
Speaker 1: Hey, Mike, I said we because you're talking to a
Speaker 1: whole show right now, a radio show Brook and Jeffrey
Speaker 1: in the morning.
Speaker 5: Uh, what is it about.
Speaker 1: It's called a second Date update.
Speaker 2: And it's all about you, Mike.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, just sorry, I don't know what's going on
Speaker 1: with Brooke today. She's a little yeah, and it's not
Speaker 1: just about you. It's about you along with one of
Speaker 1: our listeners that you went on a date with recently
Speaker 1: named Hannah.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, Hannah, Yeah, okay.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you remember.
Speaker 2: Well it sounds like you guys just recently went out,
Speaker 2: which is awesome.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah we did, Yeah, we went out.
Speaker 2: Cool.
Speaker 1: All right, we heard a little bit about your guys's date.
Speaker 1: We'd like to get your side of the story, just
Speaker 1: to see how the stories match.
Speaker 5: I mean, I don't know, what do you want to know?
Speaker 5: I don't really feel too comfortable about talking about this
Speaker 5: kind of stuff for the whole radio show.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, not the whole show, alexis close your ears?
Speaker 1: Oh all right, now you have seventy five percent of
Speaker 1: the show.
Speaker 2: I don't want to miss how it goes headphones off,
Speaker 2: he doesn't listen anyways. Yeah, that's a good point.
Speaker 1: What okay? All right, I think we're meeting your quota now.
Speaker 1: So what we're looking for though, is just general thoughts
Speaker 1: like did you like Hannah? How did you feel about her?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 5: You know, I mean okay, if I if I did
Speaker 5: say anything, it was probably one of the more like
Speaker 5: unique experiences I've ever had on a date.
Speaker 2: That's awesome. It sounds like she put a lot of
Speaker 2: like thought and energy into planning the night for you too.
Speaker 2: Is that is that something new that?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's that's that's for sure. I think a lot
Speaker 5: of energy was expended too, even on the date. I
Speaker 5: can give you that much. Yeah, when you're.
Speaker 1: Talking about like the karate class was like you.
Speaker 5: Expend energy, Yeah, that would be it. I certainly something
Speaker 5: I've never experienced before.
Speaker 2: That's cool though, I mean, what did you think when
Speaker 2: she came up with that idea? She said it was
Speaker 2: kind of a surprise.
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, it absolutely was. And I'll say this, you know,
Speaker 5: I thought for me it was like, I don't mind surprises.
Speaker 5: It was just something that like what I was wearing too,
Speaker 5: you know, I'm wearing nice, like kind of nice pants.
Speaker 5: I couldn't yeah, you know, I can't do karate in
Speaker 5: those kind of clothes. It was, you know, it was
Speaker 5: it was interesting.
Speaker 1: Because I could see how people would even say no,
Speaker 1: not in a rude way, but like I'm sorry, but
Speaker 1: that's kind of a big ask. Like we just had dinner.
Speaker 2: Do you think of yourself? Yeah, I mean this guy,
Speaker 2: you sound adventurous.
Speaker 1: It sounds like you're talking a lot about the date
Speaker 1: and the activities. I want to know what you thought
Speaker 1: about Hannah. Oh, that's a person question.
Speaker 2: If you got to know who she is, Uh, yeah,
Speaker 2: a little bit.
Speaker 5: I mean she seems really nice, but uh, your personality wise.
Speaker 5: I just don't know if we're if we're compatible. Yeah,
Speaker 5: you be completely honest, Well it was she. I mean
Speaker 5: this is weird to me too. Is that like she
Speaker 5: put all this great idea and energy into this idea
Speaker 5: and then she kind of was a little like meek me,
Speaker 5: you know, just kind of yeah, shy. I guess i'd say, like,
Speaker 5: it's like it's not her fault. I'm not saying it's
Speaker 5: a bad thing. I'm not saying people like that and
Speaker 5: have a problem or anything. It's just for me, it's
Speaker 5: not really what I go for and when I saw that.
Speaker 2: But listen, you've got a person even if she's shy,
Speaker 2: she's going out on a limb. She's surprising you with
Speaker 2: the karate class. Like maybe you just need to get
Speaker 2: to know her more to see like her fun charismatic side.
Speaker 5: Yeah, what's that whole thing? You can't ask us ever
Speaker 5: to change his stripes or something like that. And then
Speaker 5: I'm saying, I don't know, it's just somethingeling like she is.
Speaker 1: You know, what, what exactly are you're looking for? What
Speaker 1: type of woman do you want? Obnoxious brook type?
Speaker 2: Some people do some people?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't know, you know, I think that typically
Speaker 5: I'm just more attracted to someone with a bit more
Speaker 5: of like an assertive personality. Really, but.
Speaker 1: I know there is a saying that I like to
Speaker 1: draw up on sometimes. It's that I may not always win,
Speaker 1: but I never quit.
Speaker 2: Is this a karate kid thing?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Okay, I was like for ruining it, but it's
Speaker 1: going to segue seedlessly to tell you, you know who
Speaker 1: also doesn't quit. Hannah, who's on the other line right now?
Speaker 3: What? Yeah, you're you're damn right? Yeah, k never dies. Okay,
Speaker 3: So it is and I think.
Speaker 5: Clearly a footable here sneaky move.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we want you to talk to each other. I
Speaker 1: want to hear from Hannah though, Hannah, what what do
Speaker 1: you think about what you just heard?
Speaker 3: I think that it's kind of ridiculous that you would
Speaker 3: judge me that fast, because I clearly have other sides
Speaker 3: to my personality. I just was showing the one thing first.
Speaker 3: I put myself out there. I can be assertive, like
Speaker 3: I can be bad.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, sounds like he's not quite buying it yet.
Speaker 3: No, I don't think you're you're really getting that. So
Speaker 3: just like, don't confuse being nice with being weak?
Speaker 1: Is that a quote because that's a good U Hannah,
Speaker 1: do you have any other examples of how you can
Speaker 1: be an assertive, powerful woman?
Speaker 3: You know, like I might like this show for a reason. Okay,
Speaker 3: because I am a go getter. I try to get
Speaker 3: what I want. I mean, I don't give up.
Speaker 2: Yes, what are you thinking there? So?
Speaker 5: I mean, are you saying that what you want is
Speaker 5: another date with me? Is that what you want?
Speaker 1: Hannah? Strike first, strike hard, no mercy?
Speaker 2: Where are you kidding? Before we called it?
Speaker 1: I'm on Google.
Speaker 4: Listen.
Speaker 3: Okay, Okay, here's the thing. You're gonna either be quiet
Speaker 3: and listen to me and just do it and we're
Speaker 3: gonna go out again because there's more there, or you're
Speaker 3: just gonna be lame.
Speaker 1: I don't even have to ask a question, because she's
Speaker 1: telling you that we're going to go out on a
Speaker 1: second date.
Speaker 2: You don't want to be lame, do you?
Speaker 5: I mean, listen. I said to them that I wanted
Speaker 5: someone who was assertive, and this is kind of the assertiveness.
Speaker 5: So I'm down if you're down.
Speaker 1: Okay, I didn't me an offer to pay for it.
Speaker 1: There we go.
Speaker 2: She's gonna make him pay for it.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you got money and pay for it, and
Speaker 1: you're gonna like it.
Speaker 5: Mike again, I guess I have to now. I literally
Speaker 5: asked for someone to tell me what to do.
Speaker 1: So it sounds like we're sending you guys out on
Speaker 1: another date.
Speaker 5: Yeah, all right, all right, hand, I'm glad you did this. Shoot.
Speaker 2: Do you not have a cobra kai saying to close
Speaker 2: this out?
Speaker 1: No? I was just gonna end with the traditional bow
Speaker 1: and then we all kiss. This is radio. There's kissing
Speaker 1: in the karate classes that I went to. There we go, okay,
Speaker 1: everybody bow and pucker and one two. They've taken control
Speaker 1: of the situation.
Speaker 2: I like it. Jeff is actually blushing.
Speaker 1: Your hands full with this tiger well a monster looking
Speaker 1: Jeffrey in the morning. Another prime example of when being
Speaker 1: true to yourself goes bad.
Speaker 2: I mean, I guess you know. I think there's probably
Speaker 2: a lot of therapists that are like, oh god, that's
Speaker 2: not exactly what we meant.
Speaker 1: Now, here's a secret that your therapist or your friends
Speaker 1: and your family won't tell you what. Nobody likes you
Speaker 1: WHOA the real you. They don't want to see that person.
Speaker 2: That's what you take.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you this because I care. This is the truth?
Speaker 2: Is this the speech that your mother gave you your
Speaker 2: high school graduation?
Speaker 1: Look at the Kardashians. Okay, nobody liked the real them,
Speaker 1: and now look at the look they changed everything and
Speaker 1: they're the most successful, happiest family in the world.
Speaker 2: Not the message. That's not the message we're sending out.
Speaker 1: Okay, what's the message? Then, Brooke, be true to yourself
Speaker 1: and then screw the data up.
Speaker 2: No, it's just maybe that wasn't a good fit for her.
Speaker 2: He wanted someone that she isn't, and that's okay.
Speaker 1: It would have been a good fit if she changed
Speaker 1: everything about herself. All right, I give up, you know,
Speaker 1: I see the bright side.
Speaker 2: Go join the Kardashian play all right, we're gonna have
Speaker 2: a good time together.
Speaker 1: And then when I come back, I'm willing to help
Speaker 1: people with their data. Wait to see.
Speaker 2: I think it's his lips that are going to be
Speaker 2: way fire.
Speaker 1: No matter how I look or how I feel. You
Speaker 1: can always email the show. We'll call that person who
Speaker 1: isn't calling you back. And check out all of our
Speaker 1: second day podcasts up wherever you get yours at
Speaker 4: Brook and Jeffery Brook and Jeffrey in the morning,
