Speaker 1: The second date of Brooke. I don't know how you
Speaker 1: feel about meeting guys at the gym?
Speaker 2: The gym?
Speaker 1: Are you worried about that? Because it's usually like pretty
Speaker 1: loud in there and you're sweating. And we know, Brooke
Speaker 1: that you don't wear deodorant, at least not deodorants that work.
Speaker 1: You like to do that organic stuff?
Speaker 3: Yeah, how else do you send your pheromones out over
Speaker 3: the world?
Speaker 4: Debris?
Speaker 5: Okay?
Speaker 1: Howt gy deterrent?
Speaker 3: Is that?
Speaker 1: What that smell is when I go in the gym?
Speaker 1: I don't know. It might not be the cutest look sometimes,
Speaker 1: but that's where one of our listeners, Vanessa, says she
Speaker 1: ended up meeting a guy over at her local gym
Speaker 1: and it seems to work out okay for her until
Speaker 1: I didn't.
Speaker 4: Maybe I deodorant brands maybe?
Speaker 1: And what type of deodorant do you use?
Speaker 6: I'm a dove girl, that's a good one.
Speaker 1: Is that okay for you? Brooke?
Speaker 4: I like to go a little more natural.
Speaker 1: Maybe just try uses like mayonnaise and lemon juice, unless
Speaker 1: unless it's an actual dove, a live duve. The dove
Speaker 1: is dad, It's time to change it out, all right? Well?
Speaker 1: Thank you for the recommendation on the deodorant. But let's
Speaker 1: focus on your love life here. Tell us about the
Speaker 1: guy that you met when you were at the gym totally.
Speaker 6: So, I was working out the other day, you know,
Speaker 6: across the room, I kind of saw this guy. He
Speaker 6: was cute, of course, in really good shape, and I
Speaker 6: kept glancing, but I was trying not to make it obvious.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, it could be so awkward if you
Speaker 3: get caught stary. Yeah, yeah, no matter what you're a
Speaker 3: guy or I mean, nobody really likes that at the gym,
Speaker 3: or do they.
Speaker 6: I mean, some people are checking themselves out the whole time.
Speaker 5: It's like.
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's kind of like a confidence boost to notice
Speaker 1: somebody glancing at you.
Speaker 4: But sure, how did you get his attention?
Speaker 6: Well, it wasn't on purpose that we kind of like
Speaker 6: locked eyes through the mirror, you know. Yeah, So in
Speaker 6: order to make it up be super awkward since he
Speaker 6: knew now I was looking at him, I went over
Speaker 6: and I asked if he would spot me to decent squads.
Speaker 4: Oh that's nice, that's forward.
Speaker 2: That shod the gips risky because you can't tell this
Speaker 2: single or not.
Speaker 4: Sometimes, but if you're just asking for a.
Speaker 1: Spot You're just asking. Did you get this guy's name
Speaker 1: during this whole encounter?
Speaker 6: Yeah, his name is Alex.
Speaker 4: Okay, and how did the spotting go?
Speaker 6: Really well, like he was supporting me and encouraging and
Speaker 6: just super nice and sweet.
Speaker 4: That's awesome. So you were able to turn that into
Speaker 4: something else.
Speaker 6: Well, yes, So the rest of the workouts, we kind
Speaker 6: of were just like near each other doing our own thing,
Speaker 6: and then we kind of finished around the same time.
Speaker 6: So when we were leaving, he asked if I wanted
Speaker 6: to go across the street and get some coffee.
Speaker 7: Oh cute, Yeah, And I didn't have plans, so we
Speaker 7: went and got some coffee and it just felt so
Speaker 7: like natural and comfortable, like.
Speaker 3: And it's so awesome to have like an impromptu date
Speaker 3: on that because no one can cancel.
Speaker 4: You know, like there's no lead up, it's just happening.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 4: What did you guys connect over besides working out?
Speaker 6: Well, like our jobs are somewhat similar. We talked about family.
Speaker 6: I mean yeah, we talked about everything.
Speaker 2: Really, how long did you hang out?
Speaker 1: No one cares about any of that. Let's move on. Yeah,
Speaker 1: what happened after coffee was at the end of it.
Speaker 6: It was not. So it was like a super nice
Speaker 6: day out and I feel like neither of us wanted
Speaker 6: it to end. So we ended up going to the
Speaker 6: park and like walking around.
Speaker 4: Yes, sometime we just lay down.
Speaker 1: You guys are in both in good shape at least.
Speaker 4: But this time you're like dried, sweaty, you.
Speaker 1: Know, a good point. Was there anything weird that was
Speaker 1: happening during this encounter, like a coffee or at the park?
Speaker 6: No, the park was actually so fun. We were walking
Speaker 6: and I mentioned how I also do yoga, and I
Speaker 6: ended up showing them some byoga posures in the park.
Speaker 3: You guys are that fit couple in the park fandecks
Speaker 3: looking great doing yoga poses?
Speaker 1: Oh god?
Speaker 2: Did he like that?
Speaker 6: She seemed to, because then we kind of finished our
Speaker 6: walk around the park and he was like, I'm kind
Speaker 6: of a coffee addict. Do you want to go get
Speaker 6: another coffee?
Speaker 3: I mean, do you think at this point you should
Speaker 3: have like bowed out, like like the momentum is good,
Speaker 3: that's when you leave leave them wanting more.
Speaker 6: But we had more momentum.
Speaker 1: Class feel like he's going to be like, you want
Speaker 1: to go back to the gym now?
Speaker 4: Because he's just not very creative.
Speaker 3: Like coffee park, How was second coffee also amazing?
Speaker 1: Seeing a pattern here? Okay, you want to go look
Speaker 1: into some mirror or is he still there with you?
Speaker 6: I mean I hate to just put this out on
Speaker 6: the radio, but I ended up staying the night. Whoa, yeah,
Speaker 6: I mean there was some food, there was some shower.
Speaker 6: I couldn't have like subsided totally on just coffee alone.
Speaker 4: And I bet you guys stayed up late. After all
Speaker 4: that coffee.
Speaker 6: Everything stayed awesome, Like he was really sweet. The next
Speaker 6: morning he walked me out. We ended up walking down
Speaker 6: the street to Starbucks and had our morning coffee together.
Speaker 1: God okay, and so was that the end of the day. Yes,
Speaker 1: it was like a whole relationship.
Speaker 6: We did a whole week's worth in one.
Speaker 3: Day, and you haven't heard anything exactly.
Speaker 6: This is why now I have to call you. It's
Speaker 6: been a few days. Suddenly you were cold, so like,
Speaker 6: I literally know nothing.
Speaker 1: This is a good thing. Sometimes one date it can
Speaker 1: turn into a whole weekend. You know, it's a good thing.
Speaker 1: If you were both on the same page. Who were
Speaker 1: we to say this is bad? But sometimes hanging out
Speaker 1: too much that's like the kiss of death. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: let's find out. Sit tight, we'll come back. We'll call
Speaker 1: Alex for you and try and get you your second
Speaker 1: date update right after this. Okay update, it's a date
Speaker 1: that started off amazing. They locked eyes across a crowded Jim,
Speaker 1: had an instant vibe going, decided to hang out. Okay,
Speaker 1: But fourteen hours and two hundred cups of coffee later,
Speaker 1: they're not speaking to each other anymore. Yeah, our listener,
Speaker 1: Vanessa doesn't blame Brook for that.
Speaker 2: Good Why was she?
Speaker 1: I do what? I don't know? It just feels right, Okay,
Speaker 1: But we don't know what the reason is actually for
Speaker 1: why her date Alex isn't calling her back.
Speaker 4: Maybe he just hasn't had his coffee yet, you know, maybe.
Speaker 1: He's finally asleep after seven days.
Speaker 4: You made a caffee and coma. Maybe possibly.
Speaker 1: But it is odd because she ended up spending the
Speaker 1: night over at Alex's place.
Speaker 3: And they went to coffee afterwards. Like usually, if it's
Speaker 3: going to be weird and awkward, there's a reason that
Speaker 3: you have to go.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so we have a mystery on our hands. We're
Speaker 1: going to get to the bottom of it. How are
Speaker 1: you feeling here, Vanessa? Do you need some coffee?
Speaker 6: No? I am good, I'm confident. I'm ready for you
Speaker 6: guys to help.
Speaker 4: What do you think it is? Just any guesses before
Speaker 4: we call?
Speaker 6: No, I really had so much fun. I just don't
Speaker 6: even know. I'm wondering what.
Speaker 4: Her coffee order is?
Speaker 1: Is it weird? Guys?
Speaker 2: She stayed the night and he took her out to
Speaker 2: coffee again this morning?
Speaker 1: Oh big spoon.
Speaker 4: Maybe he wanted to be stick.
Speaker 1: Jokes. But we're gonna on that note. Call Alex for
Speaker 1: you and try and get your second date update. Okay, okay,
Speaker 1: that's two. I think here we go. Hello, Hey, is
Speaker 1: this Alex?
Speaker 5: Uh?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 5: This is Alan?
Speaker 1: Alan?
Speaker 4: Do you know Alex?
Speaker 5: No? This is Alan. I'm pretty sure I know my name.
Speaker 1: I don't know the radio show calling him? You didn't
Speaker 1: have a roommate named Alex or something or someone who
Speaker 1: shares this photel?
Speaker 5: No? Who is this?
Speaker 1: Hey?
Speaker 5: Going on?
Speaker 1: You were a radio show. We're called Brook and Jeffrey
Speaker 1: in the morning.
Speaker 4: Can we get the name wrong?
Speaker 5: Wow?
Speaker 1: I don't think so. Repeated it's one of our listeners.
Speaker 1: Is a girl that says that she went on a
Speaker 1: date with you? Did you go out with someone recently
Speaker 1: that you met at a jim.
Speaker 5: I'm pretty sure I know you're talking about Vanessa.
Speaker 1: Uh huh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: Okay, Oh no, did she get your name wrong?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 5: I mean, honestly, the day was going great, but she
Speaker 5: just kept calling me all these different names. She called
Speaker 5: me Andrew, she called me Andy who, she called me
Speaker 5: Alan at one point, she got my name right at
Speaker 5: one point. Yeah, then she called me Aaron like a
Speaker 5: second later.
Speaker 2: I don't get it though.
Speaker 3: It sounds like you're mad at her, but I mean,
Speaker 3: this is the woman that stayed the night at your.
Speaker 4: House, right, yeah.
Speaker 5: I mean it was crazy, like I kept taking us
Speaker 5: to Starbucks because they would call my name out like
Speaker 5: it was I was trying to get her on.
Speaker 2: Oh gosh.
Speaker 1: She mentioned going to the coffee shop a bunch of
Speaker 1: times during your day, but she said it's because you
Speaker 1: were a coffee addict. That's what you told her.
Speaker 5: I was just trying to be subtle and that this
Speaker 5: is my name, Like, oh my.
Speaker 1: God, so you're going.
Speaker 3: Taking her so that the Barissa would call out your
Speaker 3: name Alan.
Speaker 5: They're yelling my name over it all.
Speaker 4: That is so uncomfortable.
Speaker 2: Why didn't you tell me why weren't you just more
Speaker 2: direct or like I did.
Speaker 5: I did correct her, but the second time of correcting her,
Speaker 5: I just thought Starbucks would fix it right.
Speaker 2: But you corrected her twice.
Speaker 3: Of course, what did she say when you told her
Speaker 3: that's not my name, my name's Alan.
Speaker 5: She just smiled and said okay, she wouldn't.
Speaker 1: Hearts in her eyes looking at him like whatever you say.
Speaker 5: I was ready to suggest, like tattoos, that we could
Speaker 5: get out each of our names.
Speaker 1: But I'm willing to bet that if we talked to
Speaker 1: her randomly right now, that she would get your name right.
Speaker 1: And we should put it to the test, because she's
Speaker 1: randomly on the phone right now, listening and wanting to
Speaker 1: talk to you.
Speaker 5: Alan, Hi, Hi, I don't really know what to say.
Speaker 6: Oh my gosh, I'm so embarrassed. I listen to your
Speaker 6: whole thing. I just kind of have a bad memory sometimes,
Speaker 6: like if I'm wrapped up in the moment, I don't
Speaker 6: pay attention to the details.
Speaker 1: Oh you're just awful with name. I get that for
Speaker 1: a moment, but for a fourteen hour day, that's it's
Speaker 1: a little longer than a moment.
Speaker 7: You know.
Speaker 3: Details is like what color shirt he's wearing, not what
Speaker 3: his name.
Speaker 6: Is, but like just because we're in Starbucks. I mean,
Speaker 6: I'm not like staring at his cups to see what
Speaker 6: was written. Or we're talking having fun. I'm not listening
Speaker 6: to hear what his name is when they call it out.
Speaker 1: Okay, we're still waiting for that that. I'm sorry for
Speaker 1: getting your name. You want to throw that in there, that's.
Speaker 6: Okay, Alan, I'm so sorry. I feel foolish. I was
Speaker 6: having so much fun though.
Speaker 5: Look, I I don't know what to tell you. I mean,
Speaker 5: it was just very awkward. You could remember. I don't
Speaker 5: know why. Why can't you remember my name? Why is
Speaker 5: it so hard?
Speaker 6: Alan is a pretty common name, Like it doesn't stand out.
Speaker 5: You know, it's my fault.
Speaker 6: I'm not saying it's your fault. I mean maybe you
Speaker 6: can blame whoever named you a little bit. They could
Speaker 6: have been a little more creative.
Speaker 1: Alan. Is it your mom or your dad that you
Speaker 1: should assign? Blame your grandfather?
Speaker 3: He's gonna there's no way you're an Alan without being
Speaker 3: a junior or a second or something.
Speaker 6: It's like I would have remembered it better if you
Speaker 6: were like Felix or bud like just something that really
Speaker 6: kind of stands out.
Speaker 4: But wait, spud like a nickname like a potato, like.
Speaker 6: A tater see, you remember you can do that association
Speaker 6: and stand out.
Speaker 2: So yeah, well, I mean that could be a positive.
Speaker 3: Maybe you could come up with a cute pet name
Speaker 3: for him and then you never have to call him Allan,
Speaker 3: call him bean like coffy Bean.
Speaker 5: My name is Alan. I just like to be called that,
Speaker 5: I mean, but it's not working for you.
Speaker 3: Is my uncle's name was Alan and he went by
Speaker 3: Land like the second half of Alan.
Speaker 4: I think that's kind of cool.
Speaker 8: Yeah, you could go like a train or something like that,
Speaker 8: A to the double l A.
Speaker 5: I don't like any of these ideas. I'll give you
Speaker 5: this right. If you can spell my name right now,
Speaker 5: then I will go out with you again.
Speaker 1: Oh is that a challenge to Vanessa? It's a good point,
Speaker 1: Like at this point she's seen it written out three
Speaker 1: times at three different starbuck doors.
Speaker 4: I mean, and all you can really screw up is
Speaker 4: the LS on this one.
Speaker 6: I don't know nowadays, as long as to spell your name,
Speaker 6: like I said, I wasn't staring at the coffee cuffs
Speaker 6: the whole time. I was steering at you.
Speaker 3: Maybe if she could just tell you what your eye
Speaker 3: color is, it could prove that she really was paying attention.
Speaker 5: We're not changing the test. You have to spell my name, okay.
Speaker 1: Well, this a good opportunity for you, Vanessa. If you
Speaker 1: get his name spelled correctly, then we will send you
Speaker 1: guys out on a day and pay for Do.
Speaker 2: We have one of those like game show timers to put.
Speaker 1: On, Yeah, Jeopardy. Just go with your if you're gonna
Speaker 1: spell it, if it's meant to be.
Speaker 4: This is like the best spelling beach championship ever.
Speaker 1: All right, here we go.
Speaker 6: Oh my gosh, be bread. I'm gonna go with a L, L.
Speaker 2: A N one when there's.
Speaker 4: An A, but the with an E?
Speaker 1: Was it right?
Speaker 5: No, there's only one L.
Speaker 6: Well, you said I was cute and you had a
Speaker 6: good time. We cannot ruin the whole thing just based
Speaker 6: on this mistake I'm making.
Speaker 1: She does have a point other than that there was
Speaker 1: nothing crazy that happened, right.
Speaker 2: There's pretty crazy, like crazy good.
Speaker 3: I mean, you liked her so much, you gave her
Speaker 3: one last shot at the coffee shop.
Speaker 5: I'm crinkled by got the test? Okay, I'll give you
Speaker 5: one more shot, one more chance to spell it.
Speaker 1: You just told Okay, yeah, well this should be easy.
Speaker 5: To go ahead the lay up right now.
Speaker 6: I was really listening to how you spelled it in
Speaker 6: the end, I was just listening to your voice.
Speaker 1: It spell it different than you did the first time.
Speaker 6: Okay, I'll change from what I did. I'm going to
Speaker 6: go with a L L E.
Speaker 2: N Oh, literally, that's actually worse.
Speaker 6: I got it wrong again. How is it even possible?
Speaker 5: Al?
Speaker 1: Yeah, Jeffrey in the morning. Man, if I had a
Speaker 1: nickel for every second date that didn't happen because somebody
Speaker 1: failed a spelling test live, that's like what the sixth
Speaker 1: or seventh time that that's happened, that job.
Speaker 4: I'm terrible at names.
Speaker 2: Oh but how how is that even possible?
Speaker 1: You how to spell it? Alan is such a rare,
Speaker 1: exotic name. I doubt anybody could spell and right. Even
Speaker 1: Alan himself probably messes it up on his own taxi.
Speaker 4: You think that maybe he spelled it wrong?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 7: Four?
Speaker 1: Or yeah, let's blame him, Jeffy, everybody else did?
Speaker 8: Yeah?
Speaker 4: I don't think so.
Speaker 1: No second date, And honestly, I don't think anybody was
Speaker 1: that sad about it.
Speaker 3: I like how jose didn't think that not knowing his
Speaker 3: name was a big red.
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Did you know from one
Speaker 1: tiny thing?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Laugh, that was funny. But yeah, no date for them
Speaker 1: doesn't mean we can't get a date for you though.
Speaker 1: If you ever want to email the show, we'll call
Speaker 1: the person who wasn't calling you back. You could check
Speaker 1: out all of our podcasts up wherever you get yours
Speaker 1: A Brook
Speaker 4: J Brook, and Jeffrey in the Morning
