Speaker 1: Rooking jewels, second Dato date. A lot of romances start
Speaker 1: in the office. I know. For me, I've had a
Speaker 1: year long fling with my desktop computer here at work.
Speaker 1: We've become very close. At first, it was a little
Speaker 1: hesitant to search all the things that I wanted it
Speaker 1: to search, but after a while it was finding everything
Speaker 1: that I needed at full speed. And now I'm here
Speaker 1: all hours of the night hanging out with my desktop
Speaker 1: computer that is company property. Sir. I love that thing,
Speaker 1: and it loves me. I bet it loves you too.
Speaker 1: And Oscar is on the phone today to do a
Speaker 1: second date update, and apparently he also has an office romance,
Speaker 1: but unfortunately his office romance isn't as successful as mine
Speaker 1: and my computers because his office romance isn't calling him back.
Speaker 1: What's up, Oscar? Hey, how's it going? Guys? Pretty good? Man?
Speaker 1: Do you work in the same office every day with
Speaker 1: this girl? Well? Yeah, we're squeam across the hall, you know.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, that's awkward. And you guys went out
Speaker 1: on a date together. Yeah, she started like a few
Speaker 1: months ago, you know. Okay, so she's new there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: she's just super cute, you know, and she just got
Speaker 1: this like awesome laugh and it sounds stereotypical, but like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I just kind of felt her. And uh, okay, wait
Speaker 1: before we get too far into this, how does your
Speaker 1: company feel about in her office romance? Like, are you
Speaker 1: going to get in trouble? It's a pretty loose office,
Speaker 1: so I mean there are a couple of people right
Speaker 1: now who are dating each other. So I mean it's
Speaker 1: almost like you work at a restaurant where everybody everybody.
Speaker 1: It sounds like to me every time I've ever worked
Speaker 1: at a restaurant, everybody's dating everybody. Okay, so how did
Speaker 1: you finally ask this girl out? Well, ever since she started, like,
Speaker 1: it's been one moment after the other, I'm trying to
Speaker 1: find a way to ask her out, and you know,
Speaker 1: there would always be something in the way, like she'd
Speaker 1: be talking to a co worker or something. And finally
Speaker 1: I was just minding my own business and the break
Speaker 1: room and she was talking to another worker about she
Speaker 1: always wanted to go ice skating but she's never gone.
Speaker 1: And the next day you showed up at work with
Speaker 1: ice skating gear on. Weird. I didn't know you were
Speaker 1: in ice skating at all. That's strange. I just I
Speaker 1: wear this stuff sometimes because you never know when an
Speaker 1: ice skating rink is gonna just break out somewhere, very
Speaker 1: low key way of doing it. It was close. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So what'd you do? Interrupt her conversation with another coworker
Speaker 1: and said, I'll take you ice skating. So I played
Speaker 1: it cool, and later in the day I did find
Speaker 1: some time when she was by herself and I went
Speaker 1: up to her and it was just like, look, I
Speaker 1: overheard you that you wanted to go ice skating, and
Speaker 1: you know, what, do you want to go with me?
Speaker 1: I can skating? I mean it will be a fun time.
Speaker 1: And she actually said yes, nice, okay, yeah, yeah, are
Speaker 1: you into ice skating? You know it's not my like
Speaker 1: I've done ice skating, you know, but I know how
Speaker 1: to skate, okay. You know, I think it's a great
Speaker 1: first state. I totally agree anytime you can do an
Speaker 1: activity with somebody, it's always a good time. And how
Speaker 1: did it go? So we ended up going that weekend,
Speaker 1: and you know, she felt a couple times I helped
Speaker 1: her and was so romantic, you know, it was it was, Yeah,
Speaker 1: there were there were moments, you know, it just seemed
Speaker 1: like a really good time and it just felt like romantic.
Speaker 1: It was nice. Okay, but she's she's not she's not
Speaker 1: calling you back, right, Yeah, she's calling me back, and
Speaker 1: she's not talking to me at work, so I know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so clearly you did something wrong if you won't even
Speaker 1: talk to you at the office. Yeah, I U and
Speaker 1: I'm I'm racking my head. I mean, I feel like
Speaker 1: there's like maybe one thing that could have happened on
Speaker 1: the date. That's the only thing. I feel like, what
Speaker 1: was it? What was the one thing? So I have
Speaker 1: skated a lot, but I'm not the best skater, and
Speaker 1: you know, I was skating. She was keeping her balance
Speaker 1: and I started to fall down and I accidentally grabbed
Speaker 1: her hair and we both fell down together pretty snatch
Speaker 1: her by the hair and threw her to the ground.
Speaker 1: An accident. It was an accident. What did she say?
Speaker 1: Was she like? I mean, she was hurting and as
Speaker 1: was I, but by the end we were laughing. Okay,
Speaker 1: she didn't think that. You just were like skating behind
Speaker 1: her and were like, screw this. You know what, I
Speaker 1: never did have my chance to play hockey. Let's get
Speaker 1: a little rough right now. She knew she knew it
Speaker 1: was an accident. Okay, I feel relieved. I'm glad like
Speaker 1: it wasn't extended awkward that that doesn't seem like a
Speaker 1: reason not to call somebody back. It's actually pretty funny. Yeah, no, totally.
Speaker 1: I couldn't agree with you more. I mean, I feel
Speaker 1: like that's the only weird moment that I can think
Speaker 1: of that could have been, you know, a deal breaker.
Speaker 1: But what was the end of your date, Like, did
Speaker 1: you guys kiss? Did you make more plans? So at
Speaker 1: the end of the night, took her back to her
Speaker 1: place and at the door, good night, kiss on the cheek. Kiss.
Speaker 1: All right, that's still a positive, definitely. Yeah. Okay, and
Speaker 1: you said that she's not even talking to you at work. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's uh, the last few days have been kind of weird. Um.
Speaker 1: There was actually this one time I walked into the
Speaker 1: break room and she straight up turned around and walked out.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, so you must have done something bad then.
Speaker 1: I don't know what I did. I really need to
Speaker 1: know what I did. I did. You need to repair
Speaker 1: this for a lot of reasons, not just a second
Speaker 1: date reason. Yeah, I mean, I just want to make
Speaker 1: sure things are okay and so even if you don't
Speaker 1: get another date out of this, at least you hope
Speaker 1: that we can like make things cool between you guys,
Speaker 1: so you can still work in the same building. Yeah,
Speaker 1: at least I can find out. But what's wrong with
Speaker 1: me If there's a big deal, I don't know. All right,
Speaker 1: we'll play a song, come back, call her and get
Speaker 1: your second date update. Okay, cool, thanks so much? All right, man,
Speaker 1: hang on king jubil in the morning's right in the
Speaker 1: middle of a second date update. And if you're just
Speaker 1: joining us, Oscar is on the phone and today he
Speaker 1: wants to call a girl named Rachel. Their first date
Speaker 1: included everything laughing, good conversation. Penalty for unnecessary roughness when
Speaker 1: he threw her to the ground sounds worse without the context,
Speaker 1: but they went ice skating together and at one point
Speaker 1: he was falling and accidentally grabbed her hair and pulled
Speaker 1: her down by her hair. He says, they laughed about it,
Speaker 1: and she realized that it wasn't anything he did on purpose.
Speaker 1: So he doesn't think that's the reason that she's not
Speaker 1: calling him back, but it's the only thing that he
Speaker 1: can think of. And remember, they did meet at work.
Speaker 1: Their co workers, and ever since their date, she hasn't
Speaker 1: talked to him on text, phone anything. And actually she
Speaker 1: saw him in the break room the other day and
Speaker 1: turned around and walked out. So we're about to get
Speaker 1: her on the phone and find out what he did
Speaker 1: wrong on their date. You're about ready to go, Oscar, Yes,
Speaker 1: I just really want to know what's going on, you know,
Speaker 1: like I nobody seems to know, or they're they're acting
Speaker 1: like they don't know. Okay, So you've asked co workers like, hey,
Speaker 1: have you heard anything? Yeah, just like you know, is
Speaker 1: she cool? Like, what's what's going on? And like they
Speaker 1: don't know. So either she hasn't said anything to anybody
Speaker 1: or they're all keeping a big secret from you. This
Speaker 1: is the best office drama ever. Why doesn't this stuff
Speaker 1: happen in our work? All right? Come on, yeah, you
Speaker 1: probably don't want that. All right, Well, I'm gonna dollar
Speaker 1: phone number right now and see if we can get
Speaker 1: on the phone. Okay, okay, all right, here we go. Hello,
Speaker 1: Hi is Rachel there, Ah, This is Raael, Hey Rachel,
Speaker 1: how are you. This is Jewil from Brook and Jewil
Speaker 1: in the Morning. It's a morning radio show. Um, I
Speaker 1: don't I'm not familiar. Do you own a radio? Yes,
Speaker 1: in my car? I do. Cool. Well, sometimes we're on
Speaker 1: that thing. One of our listeners actually emailed us asking
Speaker 1: if we could call you. Oh, okay, who is that?
Speaker 1: His name is Oscar? Oh my god, you're so excited
Speaker 1: leading up to it, and Uh, Oscar told us about
Speaker 1: how he finally got up the nerve to ask you
Speaker 1: on a date the other day. Yeah, and he told
Speaker 1: us about your date and he thought everything went great.
Speaker 1: But now apparently you're not calling him or texting him back,
Speaker 1: and also you're avoiding him at work. So he asked
Speaker 1: if we could get you on the phone and find
Speaker 1: out if he did something wrong. Cool, I said, the
Speaker 1: sarcasm there. Yeah, this is a weird situation. Do you
Speaker 1: mind telling us what went wrong so that we can
Speaker 1: let Oscar know and maybe at least make things a
Speaker 1: little less awkward at work. Oh? I just I just
Speaker 1: don't know what to say to him, you know. I well,
Speaker 1: I don't want to say. If you say it to us,
Speaker 1: maybe we can say it to him in a way
Speaker 1: that won't hurt his feelings. Uh, all right, what did
Speaker 1: he do? The date? So it's super sweet? The ice skating. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean I had a great time on the date.
Speaker 1: It wasn't necessarily a date that was the bad thing.
Speaker 1: So what was the bad thing? Then? Well, you know,
Speaker 1: we work in the same office, so I just kind
Speaker 1: of found out some information about him that kind of
Speaker 1: freaked me out a little bit. To be honest, Oh
Speaker 1: my gosh, shut up, you heard office gossip about him?
Speaker 1: I did. I did. From who was it someone that
Speaker 1: you consider like a friend or was it someone who
Speaker 1: you think would be jealous that you guys went out. No,
Speaker 1: it's my friend and she's happily married, so I believe her.
Speaker 1: So what was the office gossip? I don't want to
Speaker 1: tell you, guys, because I don't want to embarrass him
Speaker 1: if it's not true. You know, like I said, if
Speaker 1: you tell us, maybe we can find a creative way
Speaker 1: to tell him. That doesn't make it super strange. Plus,
Speaker 1: if there was something going around about you at the office,
Speaker 1: you'd want to know, so at least you could clarify
Speaker 1: whatever it is. That's true. That's true. Um, So you know,
Speaker 1: all of our co workers knew we were going out,
Speaker 1: So of course when I came back, my one friend's like,
Speaker 1: how did it go? And I was just telling her
Speaker 1: it was good, it was it was a nice date.
Speaker 1: Yeah and uh. And then she of course started asking
Speaker 1: more detailed questions, and she said, did he do the thing?
Speaker 1: Did he do the thing? Well, sounds like he's got
Speaker 1: quite a reputation. I don't know about Oscar. When Oscar
Speaker 1: takes ladies out, he does this thing. Did he do
Speaker 1: it to you? He's done it to all of us
Speaker 1: in the office. No, No, it wasn't like that. So
Speaker 1: what's his thing? Then? Well, I kept asking her and
Speaker 1: she said, well, did he do the hot coco thing?
Speaker 1: This is sounding even worse and worse in my mind,
Speaker 1: better and better depended on what you like. That's true,
Speaker 1: I mean it goes with the date. Um. So I'm like, oh, no,
Speaker 1: we didn't have any hot coco, and she goes, no,
Speaker 1: did he bring the us? And so apparently, oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: I don't want to tell this. Um, Apparently he has
Speaker 1: been collecting you know those plastic cups when in the
Speaker 1: breakroom where you get coffee and stuff. Yeah, he's been
Speaker 1: collecting the ones that I'm drinking out of, like when
Speaker 1: we'll have a nice conversation at work, and writing the
Speaker 1: date on the Yeah, weird, he's been collecting your coffee cups. Yeah,
Speaker 1: what was Okay, so what was the hot coco thing?
Speaker 1: I mean, that's weird already, but yeah, I think he
Speaker 1: was gonna like serve us hot coco out of the
Speaker 1: cups that he collected and like weird and unsanitary. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I know. So wait what was she not freaked out
Speaker 1: by this? She thought it was going to be something cool.
Speaker 1: I mean she thought it was cute. I mean she
Speaker 1: also thinks he's like sweet Teddy Bear Oscar. You know,
Speaker 1: she's a friends with him. Okay, so in her mind,
Speaker 1: he can't do anything creepy, right, She's like, oh, he's
Speaker 1: showing his affection. But to me, I'm like, that's a
Speaker 1: little weird. Yeah, it's basically like taking locks of your
Speaker 1: hair exactly. It's like taking Maybe he's trying to create
Speaker 1: a new un a peach redition his apartment somewhere. You know,
Speaker 1: maybe that's the gossip going around. If you backed up
Speaker 1: and you took her criticism of who he is. He's
Speaker 1: obviously a nice guy. It sounds nice, but at the
Speaker 1: end of the day, he's literally going into the trash
Speaker 1: can and collecting the coffee cups I drink out of. Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: I know. I'm trying to spin it for him, but
Speaker 1: I don't know that I can. I don't think anybody can.
Speaker 1: I wonder if Oscar can even save himself and Rachel.
Speaker 1: I do have to let you know that you did
Speaker 1: actually say it to Oscar because he's on the other line.
Speaker 1: Listener wants to talk to you. No, you guy, Yeah, Oscar,
Speaker 1: are you there? Yeah? Yeah, what's up with the cups? Man? Guys,
Speaker 1: don't make it worse. I can't believe they told you
Speaker 1: about it. I mean they were They ruined everything. I mean,
Speaker 1: they ruined the surprise. I mean it would have been
Speaker 1: weird anyway. It's like, either way, it would have been
Speaker 1: kind of creepy. I feel like if you've just seen it,
Speaker 1: it wouldn't have been as creepy like hearing it from
Speaker 1: someone else. Yeah, I get it, it might it might
Speaker 1: come off creepy, but it was gonna be a whole thing.
Speaker 1: I was gonna, you know, lay the cups in a
Speaker 1: certain way and a presentation. There were gonna be candles.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be super romantic, and it was like kind
Speaker 1: of a literal trip down memory length. But we don't
Speaker 1: have that many memories, not that you know of, Rachel,
Speaker 1: but it sounds like Oscar has a lot of great memories.
Speaker 1: That's my point, Like we have memories. Each cup is
Speaker 1: a memory, and every every cup has I wrote down
Speaker 1: what we talked about, and then that's that's it. Okay,
Speaker 1: So how how many of the cups do you have?
Speaker 1: It's it's it's not that many. I mean, it's it's
Speaker 1: like twelve. Well did you say twelve? Twelve? I don't
Speaker 1: even remember having twelve comments, like we don't even know
Speaker 1: each other that well. I mean that's I like, I
Speaker 1: get how it can be sweet, but you also kind
Speaker 1: of see my point of view. Yeah, I know, I
Speaker 1: totally understand. I realized that it would be weird, and
Speaker 1: that's why, you know, I was just taking my time.
Speaker 1: I was going to show you in a couple of
Speaker 1: days time. I mean, that's that's that was a plan.
Speaker 1: I just don't even think that's like enough time to
Speaker 1: show me something like that, Like it's just creepy. Yeah, Oscar,
Speaker 1: you only show somebody when they're two years in and
Speaker 1: they're already so invested that they can't leave because they're
Speaker 1: a weirdo who collectible cup? You guys, you guys just
Speaker 1: don't get it, Okay, I mean I still think it's
Speaker 1: a very romantic gesture. I think that it shows like
Speaker 1: an attention to detail, that someone really, you know, cares
Speaker 1: about you and and like it isn't just like trying
Speaker 1: to do like a light casual thing and it's a
Speaker 1: it's a little misguided, but he did, like for months months,
Speaker 1: think that you were awesome and try so hard to
Speaker 1: find his end to even ask you out. And for me,
Speaker 1: like each cup, it's not just a piece of plastic,
Speaker 1: it's it's a memory, you know, that we shared and
Speaker 1: that we we talked about stuff. You know. Somehow, Oscar,
Speaker 1: this is beginning to be romantic for me, Like you,
Speaker 1: it's morphed from being really creepy into like, okay, that's
Speaker 1: kind of sweet. He's tried. At least he's tried. Do
Speaker 1: you agree with that, Rachel? I mean, Oscar, you're a
Speaker 1: great guy. I wouldn't have agreed to go out, But
Speaker 1: isn't there like another way you could have done it
Speaker 1: then digging my dirty cups out of the trash? I mean,
Speaker 1: I could have you know, collected your staples or something.
Speaker 1: I mean, I just feel like a cup has an
Speaker 1: energy to it, something that you know, just signifies that
Speaker 1: you know that it's a moment, you know. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: gone from creepy to sweet back to being weird. Yeah, Rachel,
Speaker 1: would you like to go out with Oscar for a
Speaker 1: second date? We will pay for it. I don't think
Speaker 1: that he's like a weird, creepy dude. I think that
Speaker 1: he's just a little misguided in the romance delment. As
Speaker 1: long as the cups are the only thing you're collecting
Speaker 1: for real though, long Yeah, that's true. If you just
Speaker 1: don't bring any mementos, like I feel like I'd be
Speaker 1: open to kind of a normal like dinner date or something.
Speaker 1: Maybe if it's a second day with you, I will
Speaker 1: let go of the cups. Wow, that's a big commitment,
Speaker 1: Rachel's Oscar will throw out his creepy stalker cups if
Speaker 1: you'll go out with him again. I will burn those
Speaker 1: cups right now. That sounds creepy to me for some reason.
Speaker 1: Now he's gonna be thinking about when you met and
Speaker 1: just burning it. Rachel. Yeah, that's kind of like a
Speaker 1: weird day on But you know, I've already made my decision.
Speaker 1: I'm cool with it all right. Well, congratulations you got
Speaker 1: a second date Oscar. Yes, and Rachel, thank you for
Speaker 1: your time. Thank you, and start bringing your own coffee
Speaker 1: mug to work. I'm really surprised, but there is a
Speaker 1: lot of support on the text message board. At seven
Speaker 1: eight five nine two for the guy from today's second
Speaker 1: date update, somebody texted in said, I mean, it's weird,
Speaker 1: but it's also charming. I get the meaning. Every cup
Speaker 1: of coffee you share with someone is a little conversation
Speaker 1: that you had to me. It makes sense if you
Speaker 1: missed the second date update. Oscar wanted to call a
Speaker 1: girl named Rachel. They worked together and they went out
Speaker 1: on a date. She wasn't calling him back. He found
Speaker 1: out the reason she wasn't calling back was after that date,
Speaker 1: one of her co workers, a friend of Oscars as well,
Speaker 1: let her know that Oscar has been saving every single
Speaker 1: coffee cup that they've shared together in the break room,
Speaker 1: not his coffee cup hers. He grabs Hi out of
Speaker 1: the trash can saves him, wrote down what they talked about,
Speaker 1: and his big plan was to present them to her
Speaker 1: on their first state, but he didn't do it. Thank God.
Speaker 1: And then she found out from a coworker, was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's creepy, but once he explained it, she found it
Speaker 1: kind of romantic. I think it sort of is it
Speaker 1: made the transition. I'm in support of him, But then
Speaker 1: when I look at my own history, the more romantic
Speaker 1: the man, the crazier he turns out being. Well, I
Speaker 1: think we all know Oscar's crazy, but yeah, I hopeless romantic. Nonetheless,
Speaker 1: they did agree to go out on a Seconday. Remember,
Speaker 1: if you want to do a second day update, all
Speaker 1: you have to do is email the show and we
Speaker 1: will call the person who didn't call you back fast
Speaker 1: and wh
