Speaker 1: Second day. I'm not an expert, but I always feel like,
Speaker 1: if you're out on a first date and you don't
Speaker 1: make it to the intended place you were planning on
Speaker 1: going to, that probably wasn't a good date. Like if
Speaker 1: it ends before you actually got to where you wanted
Speaker 1: to have the date, probably not good. What if it
Speaker 1: ends at your house, in your room, your bedroom before.
Speaker 1: Like I said, I'm not an expert, that could be
Speaker 1: a good thing. Yeah. Rich is on the phone with
Speaker 1: us right now. His date actually halfway happened. He never
Speaker 1: made it exactly where he wanted to go. He went
Speaker 1: out with a girl named Danielle. They were supposed to
Speaker 1: go to a Sounders game, apparently, but Rich's email says
Speaker 1: that they didn't make it that far. What's up, Rich,
Speaker 1: how are you hey? Jew bol So? Tell us about
Speaker 1: your date. Why didn't you make it to the Sounders game?
Speaker 1: I mean, that's kind of what I'm trying to figure out. Actually, Okay, Rich,
Speaker 1: start from the beginning. Where did you meet her? Well, Um,
Speaker 1: I met this girl Danielle your friends on Facebook actually
Speaker 1: like right away, Like the first time I saw her,
Speaker 1: I was like, she's super super cute and she seemed like,
Speaker 1: you know, a really cool person from you know, just
Speaker 1: from her profile, right, some hilarious status updates. You're like,
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, yeah, you know what I mean. Okay,
Speaker 1: And of course, like when my buddy's like, oh dude,
Speaker 1: she has a boyfriend. You know, her status was like
Speaker 1: in a relationship. She had a boyfriend, and so I
Speaker 1: kind of just didn't really think about it. And then
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, I see that, you know, her
Speaker 1: status change and she's single, Like this is this is
Speaker 1: my chance? So you stopped her profile. You stopped her
Speaker 1: profile for months, waiting until she broke up with her boyfriend.
Speaker 1: And they're like, now I can pounce good work. I mean,
Speaker 1: not exactly. Well, a Sounders game is a good first date, though, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I got really good seats, and like one
Speaker 1: of the things that I really liked about her is
Speaker 1: that she's a sounderstand and I thought that would be
Speaker 1: a really great first date. And you know, she seemed
Speaker 1: really excited about it. All right, but your email said
Speaker 1: that you didn't even make it to the game. So
Speaker 1: what happened? Well, I suggested that we threw like a
Speaker 1: little pregaming over in my house, you know, just to
Speaker 1: kind of break the ice, I guess, have a couple
Speaker 1: of beers for the game or whatever, and so we're
Speaker 1: drinking some beers just kind of like hang out, and
Speaker 1: there was like a little bit of a low and
Speaker 1: so I don't know if this was kind of a
Speaker 1: stupid move or whatever. I suggested that we play battleship, okay, okay,
Speaker 1: and so she was she was up for it, and
Speaker 1: so I mean I kind of, you know, like letting
Speaker 1: her win. You know, it's gord to be a good guy,
Speaker 1: letting her win a battleship, a game where you guess number. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: game of luck basically. So yeah, we got to talking
Speaker 1: and like talking about our childhood and where our favorite
Speaker 1: games were growing up. You know, she was a big
Speaker 1: kind of clue and my my favorite game growing up
Speaker 1: the Streets of Ladders. This is how drunk. Okay, were
Speaker 1: you guys really drunk? We weren't really drunk, but we're
Speaker 1: definitely getting our buzz on. All right. It sounds like
Speaker 1: a drunken conversation where you start getting all heated about
Speaker 1: board games. So when did the date end? I mean,
Speaker 1: there was almost time to go, and she gets a
Speaker 1: call from somebody. I guess her friend and she's like,
Speaker 1: I have to go. It's an emergency. So are you
Speaker 1: not believing that it was an actual emergency? You think
Speaker 1: it was like a setup from her friend to rescue
Speaker 1: her from the date. We're having a really good time
Speaker 1: and we were hitting it off, and I wouldn't expect
Speaker 1: it to be like a fake emergency, you know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: But after that, I tried to see if everything was okay.
Speaker 1: I tried to see what was going on and called
Speaker 1: her a couple of times, and let's spend ten days
Speaker 1: and I just never heard from her at all from
Speaker 1: the sound of everything, And it sounds like maybe she
Speaker 1: did have an emergency unless you're forgetting something. Are you
Speaker 1: forgetting something? Rich? Are you forgetting anything about the evening?
Speaker 1: Like when you guys were arguing about board games or something,
Speaker 1: did you, like, I don't know, did you call her off?
Speaker 1: I don't know, but you who knows, like, yeah, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean? Like because you call up the
Speaker 1: second time and they're like they live a very important
Speaker 1: detail out like that. It's like, yeah, the guy called
Speaker 1: me my last You didn't do anything like that. You
Speaker 1: can't think of anything, No, I really can't. I mean
Speaker 1: we were pretty buzz But I don't think I've helped
Speaker 1: anything out. I just don't get it, Okay, I do
Speaker 1: think it's weird. Like if I had an emergency on
Speaker 1: a date and it was real, I would call the
Speaker 1: guy back later and say, hey, sorry about that, let's reschedule.
Speaker 1: Did you go to the Sounders game by yourself? Still? No,
Speaker 1: I didn't even go, man. I didn't have everybody to
Speaker 1: go with, and I kind of worried too, Like if
Speaker 1: it was a real emergency, yeah, like posting pictures of
Speaker 1: me having a blast. Well, she's like, I don't know,
Speaker 1: at the hospital or something like, you should have gone
Speaker 1: by yourself and just posted sad selfies sitting in it
Speaker 1: next to an empty seat, and then tagged her in it,
Speaker 1: just to let her know how sad you were she
Speaker 1: didn't make it to the game. I wish I would
Speaker 1: have thought about full of great ideas. All right, man,
Speaker 1: well we'll play a song, come back, call her and
Speaker 1: get your second date update. Okay, great, yeah, man, hold
Speaker 1: on looking jubil in the morning date. If you're just
Speaker 1: tuning in for the second update. Rich wants us to
Speaker 1: call Danielle. They were supposed to go to a Sounders
Speaker 1: game together. They partied a little while at his house beforehand.
Speaker 1: In the middle of that, she got a phone call
Speaker 1: saying that there was an emergency she had to leave.
Speaker 1: She hasn't called rich since. Riches trying to get a
Speaker 1: hold of her, and has heard nothing. Has something like
Speaker 1: this ever happened to you before on a date? Rich, No,
Speaker 1: it hasn't. Did you describe yourself as a likable guy?
Speaker 1: I would say so, I mean guys, good of my friends.
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm a good a good guy. Okay,
Speaker 1: so that's a good question. Ask somebody. You don't hear
Speaker 1: many people go like, no, actually, not likable at all. Actually, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm a horrible bore. You don't want to hang out
Speaker 1: with me at all? All right, Rich We're about to
Speaker 1: call Danielle. See we can get on the phone. Okay, okay, thanks,
Speaker 1: Here we go. Hello, how can I speak to Danielle please? Yeah?
Speaker 1: This is Danielle Nanelle. This is Jewel from Brook and
Speaker 1: Jewel in the Morning. How are you. I'm fine, Nice
Speaker 1: to meet you, Danielle. Why are you calling me? You
Speaker 1: actually recently went out on a date with one of
Speaker 1: our listeners and they emailed us because you aren't calling
Speaker 1: them back and they desperately want to see you again. Okay,
Speaker 1: Well I'm dating a lot of people right now, so
Speaker 1: they're dating a lot of people. Okay, so if I
Speaker 1: throw a name out there, you might know who this
Speaker 1: person is. I mean, yeah, probably his name is Rich
Speaker 1: and you guys are supposed to go to a Sounders game. Together. Yeah. No, Look,
Speaker 1: I told him I had an emergency, right, He told
Speaker 1: us all of that. But you know, the speculation comes
Speaker 1: around too. Did you actually have an emergency or were
Speaker 1: you bailing on the date? I say that you're bailing
Speaker 1: that you didn't like Rich and you want to leave.
Speaker 1: After hearing your tone of voice, I agree, Am I right, Danielle,
Speaker 1: don't look if you talk to him again, just tell
Speaker 1: him it's an emergency, and it's an ongoing emergency. Agency.
Speaker 1: You have an eternal emergency going on that won't let
Speaker 1: you contact Rich. I'm I hope I'm not reading into
Speaker 1: that when I think that you didn't like Rich very much. Look,
Speaker 1: if I tell you, you have to promise that this
Speaker 1: won't get back to him. Okay, sure, because I really
Speaker 1: don't want to hurt his feelings. It's just I you know,
Speaker 1: I was in what I mean, just think about it.
Speaker 1: If you know, Rich is the person who wanted us
Speaker 1: to call you, so he's willing to hear whatever it
Speaker 1: is you have to say, but we won't tell him
Speaker 1: if it's too embarrassing. Yeah. I really don't want to
Speaker 1: hurt his feelings. Neither do I. I like the guy
Speaker 1: when I talk to him, he seemed nice. I would
Speaker 1: hate to hurt his feelings. Oh my gosh, what is it,
Speaker 1: daniel Well, I mean, I'm I just got out of
Speaker 1: a long term orationship. I'm back on the dating scene,
Speaker 1: and like I said, I'm dating a lot, you know,
Speaker 1: because I'm single again and because I'm trying to be open.
Speaker 1: I gave Bridge a shot and we were at his place,
Speaker 1: like playing board games, and he's just kind of dull,
Speaker 1: you know, It's just not very interesting. And I was
Speaker 1: thinking about it and I was like, Wow, we're playing
Speaker 1: board games and then I'm going to have to go
Speaker 1: to this three hour game and listen to him. So
Speaker 1: you thought he was boring? Yeah, I mean, I'm not
Speaker 1: trying to be mean. I'm just that the truth of it.
Speaker 1: Sometimes you click with people and sometimes don't. But Danielle,
Speaker 1: how long were you guys hanging out at the house
Speaker 1: before you decided that this guy was a total drag?
Speaker 1: Like an hour? But like, how can you analyze someone
Speaker 1: in just an hour? A couple of minutes, you know,
Speaker 1: if you're not having a good time. But I just,
Speaker 1: I mean, don't commit to a three hour Sounders game
Speaker 1: then I know. Oh, I mean I love the Founders
Speaker 1: and I thought it would be fun. But that's three
Speaker 1: more hours with this guy and then it's gonna get
Speaker 1: super awkward afterwards if he tries to like kiss me,
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, like I don't want to boring kiss
Speaker 1: Thank you very much. So just can't believe you lied
Speaker 1: to me. What just lied to me? Like straight up,
Speaker 1: just like faith and emergency call like unreal, Danielle. That's Rich.
Speaker 1: He is actually on the other line listening. Okay, this
Speaker 1: is not fair. He said you weren't going to tell
Speaker 1: him anybody. Technically I didn't. You did, and that so
Speaker 1: I wasn't lying when I told you that. I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: but I think Rich needs to know what you think
Speaker 1: of him. If he wants to go out with you
Speaker 1: so badly, maybe now he'll leave you alone. Oh I'll
Speaker 1: definitely leave you alone. I mean, I didn't think I
Speaker 1: was wasting my time with a liar. You know, somebody
Speaker 1: would just only only give me an hour to like
Speaker 1: totally impress you and wow, you like I'm this epon
Speaker 1: actually because it's just like a truth. I'm sorry. Wow, Okay,
Speaker 1: well you know, I'm really sorry. I didn't want to
Speaker 1: hurt your feelings. I'm not a liar. I just I
Speaker 1: didn't want to hurt your feelings. Don't tell you like
Speaker 1: the idea like that you couldn't just like be straight
Speaker 1: up with somebody and just leave me like hanging too. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I wasn't trying to like leave you hanging. I was
Speaker 1: trying to be nice. I wasn't interested in you. I
Speaker 1: didn't want the rest of the night to be awkward
Speaker 1: and then that's going to lead you on more. So
Speaker 1: I figured get out while i can. I made up
Speaker 1: an excuse I wouldn't hurt your feelings. That doesn't make
Speaker 1: me a huge liar. I'm really so crazy, like leave
Speaker 1: me hanging for almost two weeks, Like I've called you,
Speaker 1: I've texted you, Like, at no point did you think
Speaker 1: maybe it would be the growing up thing to do,
Speaker 1: like tell this guy the truth? So he can actually like,
Speaker 1: I just can't believe it. Okay, Well you know what,
Speaker 1: if you want the truth, then here's the truth. All Right.
Speaker 1: We played Battleship on our first date. All Right, that's
Speaker 1: not what a girl wants. That's not what any girl wants.
Speaker 1: It's not true, Brooks, I guess loves Battleship. That's the
Speaker 1: way that Brooks heart. I didn't know that game. I mean,
Speaker 1: you didn't even give me a chance, like you give me,
Speaker 1: give you a chance to go to the game with
Speaker 1: you and like actually show you who I was. Why
Speaker 1: we didn't have a chance you can go together. I
Speaker 1: never said I didn't go to the game. You went
Speaker 1: to the game? What you went to the game? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I wasn't going to tell you that I went to
Speaker 1: the game. But you're kind of being a right now,
Speaker 1: So if you really want to know, I was not
Speaker 1: clicking with you at all. And I got a message
Speaker 1: from another guy i'd done on a couple of days
Speaker 1: within he happened to have So yeah, I took a
Speaker 1: chance and I went and I had a blast that night.
Speaker 1: And I would never have wanted to tell me that
Speaker 1: he's pushed it. Are you serious? Danielle, are you just
Speaker 1: trying to be mean too, Rich because you don't like it?
Speaker 1: I don't want to be mean, but he's I mean,
Speaker 1: good Lord, no one, because that's bush. Oh, she ended
Speaker 1: up going to the game. I said it home worrying
Speaker 1: about you. Obviously shouldn't have even wasted any time. Dear man,
Speaker 1: that's unreal. Do you have, like, do you have any
Speaker 1: remorse right now, Danielle for this or no? You know
Speaker 1: I did. I felt bad the whole time, but now
Speaker 1: I don't. I really feel like he's being so rude
Speaker 1: to me, like I lied because I was trying to
Speaker 1: be nice. So I'm sorry. Wow. I really Ultimately I'm
Speaker 1: gay because I don't have time for people like you, guys.
Speaker 1: I don't ever to waste my time. Yeah, Rich, you
Speaker 1: got games of Battleship to play with tons of other people.
Speaker 1: At this point, I would love to ask you, guys
Speaker 1: if you two would go out on a second day
Speaker 1: hey for it? Send you another Sounders game or something.
Speaker 1: Daniel No, okay, Rich you interested? He thought for sure
Speaker 1: you guys would have gone out again. Well there you go, Rich,
Speaker 1: you got your answer, man, she lied to you. I'm glueable, man,
