Speaker 1: We're here. We're down to the top three. This is
Speaker 1: crazy Your best second dates of twenty twenty five, and
Speaker 1: this is number three.
Speaker 2: Out of all the places where you could meet someone
Speaker 2: at coffee shops, grocery stores, crime scene clean up training
Speaker 2: and nothing says compatibility like wiping fake blood off of
Speaker 2: a floor, trust me, but you really do love those.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah. But for one of our listeners, it got
Speaker 2: even weirder when he met a good looking gal at
Speaker 2: a furniture store. Oh yeah, Now you don't hear a
Speaker 2: lot about those, but you're gonna find out the unique
Speaker 2: way he managed to get her number in your number
Speaker 2: three second date Update of the year Right now, Second
Speaker 2: Date Updated. I saw a video posted by a bridal
Speaker 2: stylist recently, and she talks to brides all the time
Speaker 2: and always asks how they met their husband.
Speaker 1: Oh that's cute.
Speaker 3: A feat.
Speaker 2: What's the number one way single people are finding their
Speaker 2: spouses right now? The number one answer, she says, by
Speaker 2: far is on.
Speaker 1: Hinge ye, not like bumble or.
Speaker 2: Like specifically his she says, Bumble is second. Nobody is
Speaker 2: on Tinder. If you're seriously trying to find Number three
Speaker 2: was a little bit surprising, though, she said, college Sweethearts,
Speaker 2: not a website like people who actually met in college Sweethearts,
Speaker 2: people who.
Speaker 1: Met women looking for sugar Dad.
Speaker 2: It's like the relationship lasted beyond graduation.
Speaker 1: That's weird one.
Speaker 2: And then the rarest is meeting somebody naturally out in
Speaker 2: the wild. And I don't know if I hear animal
Speaker 2: noises right now, but that's exactly what happened with one
Speaker 2: of our listeners, Chad. He was a lone tiger loose
Speaker 2: in the jungle roman free till a certain frisky feline
Speaker 2: caught his eye. So let's learn about it.
Speaker 4: Chad.
Speaker 2: Welcome to the show.
Speaker 4: Hey, thanks, Hey.
Speaker 3: You're welcome.
Speaker 4: Chad.
Speaker 1: You sound like a frisky feeling.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, he's the prowling tiger. Yeah still well, yeah,
Speaker 2: a big feeling.
Speaker 1: Sure.
Speaker 2: And tell us about the girl that you met. What's
Speaker 2: her name?
Speaker 4: Her name is Lucy?
Speaker 2: Okay, and we're out in the wild. Did you meet Lucy?
Speaker 4: I met Lucy at a furniture store.
Speaker 3: Why did that scream awesome? Because like shopping for furniture,
Speaker 3: I could see girls out and about.
Speaker 1: Everyone at the furniture store is married. Yeah, I've never
Speaker 1: stepped in. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Also, they got money, because furniture is not she you're
Speaker 3: spending a couple hundred bucks.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you were.
Speaker 4: You were like a legit store. This wasn't like Assemble.
Speaker 2: One of the nice shots fired at Ikea. So how
Speaker 2: did you and Lucy? Like, how did that interaction happen
Speaker 2: in the store?
Speaker 4: Well, I was walking around the store. I was just
Speaker 4: there looking to upgrade my place, and I had zeroed
Speaker 4: in on this one sofa. But then Lucy came in
Speaker 4: and was looking at the exact same couch.
Speaker 1: Yeah, style arm wrestle.
Speaker 5: Who for?
Speaker 1: Whoever's gonna buy it?
Speaker 4: Yeah? I mean I wish I could have. I mean
Speaker 4: I would have loved to have done that.
Speaker 3: Did you do the gentleman thing and buy the couch
Speaker 3: for her?
Speaker 4: I don't have that much money.
Speaker 2: I'm what was your move?
Speaker 4: The move was just to kind of like, what do
Speaker 4: you like about the couch? And then it just kind
Speaker 4: of got to a level where we weren't just talking
Speaker 4: about a couch.
Speaker 1: Well, and eventually you're gonna have to spoon on it
Speaker 1: together to see if two people fit. That's important you
Speaker 1: want to.
Speaker 2: That's a really weird way of flirting.
Speaker 3: I will say, I feel like we shouldn't have heard.
Speaker 4: A yeah, yeah, it didn't get too racy. We just
Speaker 4: kept like trying it out.
Speaker 1: Okay, shocked it didn't get That's cute though. That's a
Speaker 1: really organic way to have conversation.
Speaker 2: It is good because you're kind of playing like you're
Speaker 2: a couple already by like shopping together. It kind of
Speaker 2: like plants that image into your mind in a in
Speaker 2: a subtle way, so.
Speaker 1: Not like that. It's important for him to know if
Speaker 1: women like this couch?
Speaker 2: Yeah, fair, Were you able to spin it into a date?
Speaker 4: Yeah? It come to find out we both wanted the couch.
Speaker 4: You know, there's shalespeople at these high end furniture stores,
Speaker 4: and so it's like, okay, we're both interested in the couch,
Speaker 4: and the guy's like, this is it. There's just the
Speaker 4: one Yeah, and then you guys started a fight, So
Speaker 4: what's the move. I was like, okay, well we both
Speaker 4: want the couch, but if you want me to let
Speaker 4: you have it, then why don't you give me something
Speaker 4: in return? You know, like your phone number?
Speaker 2: Okay, because they also sell beds over here, so that's.
Speaker 1: A good way to get her number. Did she like that?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 4: I mean good enough to give me the number. I
Speaker 4: mean she got the couch, so yeah, the couch.
Speaker 3: Wait hold up, hold up, you got the number, and
Speaker 3: now she's ghosting you.
Speaker 1: I think they went out out.
Speaker 2: Did you go?
Speaker 5: So?
Speaker 4: Like fast forward to like the next three days, and
Speaker 4: we're texting a lot. I mean like and I say
Speaker 4: that a lot, I mean like fifty times a day,
Speaker 4: well a day.
Speaker 2: Wow, you haven't texted anybody fifty times in my whole life.
Speaker 3: I really like each other.
Speaker 1: Day.
Speaker 4: So we scheduled a date and then she backed out
Speaker 4: and I wanted to reschedule, and then like she backed
Speaker 4: out again the night before, Okay, are you okay?
Speaker 3: Convincing herself not to go on.
Speaker 1: So it's weird that you guys were talking so much
Speaker 1: though via text. I don't know someone who can't say no.
Speaker 1: I would probably give up my number and talk for
Speaker 1: a few days to not feel bad, and the couch
Speaker 1: is delivered and not my home, and then stop text
Speaker 1: and then you finally be over.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, okay, chat are you feeling like? Maybe the
Speaker 2: only reason that she said she would like give the
Speaker 2: number and go out on the date was just to
Speaker 2: get the couch, Like that was the whole point of it.
Speaker 4: That thought has crossed my mind. But then there's all
Speaker 4: these texts in between. So then like I did like
Speaker 4: a little recon, I like googled myself and I was like,
Speaker 4: all right, nothing weird came up here.
Speaker 3: That was good.
Speaker 1: I mean, here's the thing. She gave you her number,
Speaker 1: but she could have easily given you a fake number.
Speaker 5: Yeah that's true.
Speaker 1: You know, she didn't have to give you her real
Speaker 1: phone number.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's weird that she's backing out all of a sudden.
Speaker 2: We're gonna call Lucy and try and get to the
Speaker 2: bottom of this, because if she says no to going
Speaker 2: out with you, then you deserve that couch.
Speaker 1: In my opinion, that wasn't the deal. It was just
Speaker 1: a phone number. Jeff, Oh.
Speaker 2: Sorry, that was on you chat improve your negotiations.
Speaker 4: Still, I know I thought it was a fair deal,
Speaker 4: but it turns out not so much. Yeah, but anyways,
Speaker 4: I need your help and hope you can help me out.
Speaker 2: All right, Well, we're going to try our best. We'll
Speaker 2: come back and get you your second date up date
Speaker 2: right after this man hold oncond date update. I'm not
Speaker 2: a lawyer, but Chad, if we're not successful in getting
Speaker 2: you another date, what about at least getting you visitation
Speaker 2: with the couch just like one week A couch doesn't
Speaker 2: need to be much, just one weekend a month. Maybe
Speaker 2: split it on holidays. We can negotiate something.
Speaker 1: Yeah sure, Oh you know, shared custody is what you're saying.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay. Chad seems to like that idea, because if
Speaker 2: you miss part one, he met Lucy at a furniture
Speaker 2: store recently when they both liked the same exact couch,
Speaker 2: but he generously let her have it if in exchange
Speaker 2: she gave him his number.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean that was the deal that they made.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was.
Speaker 2: It was a smooth move. But she keeps backing out
Speaker 2: of dates now and now their initial flame has pretty
Speaker 2: much gone completely ice cold.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're losing chemistry fast.
Speaker 2: So we he doesn't know why, we need to try
Speaker 2: and help figure it out.
Speaker 1: Can I ask Chad the one thing I never you know,
Speaker 1: we never really got into you said, you guys texted
Speaker 1: back and forth a ton. Was there any like inappropriate
Speaker 1: text scene or something that could have or could have
Speaker 1: been red wrong? Even you know, sometimes you said something
Speaker 1: thinking you're joking and the other person doesn't read it right.
Speaker 2: Can you read some inappropriate text to Brook right now,
Speaker 2: she really wants.
Speaker 4: To do something. Lead.
Speaker 1: Is there something that stands out in all of those
Speaker 1: conversations that you had.
Speaker 4: No, I mean it was flirty, but without crossing the line.
Speaker 4: It's the way I think about it. Asked about the couch.
Speaker 4: You know, how's.
Speaker 2: How's the couch doing?
Speaker 4: Is it?
Speaker 2: Okay?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: He really did that though, that's what he said. Okay,
Speaker 1: he laughed, like to be an innuendo, like the couch.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 3: No, he like, how's the couch doing?
Speaker 1: How I heard it? Okay?
Speaker 2: See, this is what text messaging is like right now.
Speaker 2: You can't tell tone.
Speaker 1: Someone text me how's the couch? Ha ha.
Speaker 3: I would not understand that.
Speaker 2: All right, it's okay, let's call Lucy and uh, hopefully
Speaker 2: it's not what we were talking about earlier too, where
Speaker 2: it was just all a big scam so that she
Speaker 2: could get the couch have him back off of it.
Speaker 3: Because it is very smart and percent your fone, that's
Speaker 3: the case scam.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I mean she just said, oh well, thank you and
Speaker 3: smiled and gave you your number. That's all that you asked.
Speaker 1: There's no one in the room that wouldn't agree with that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's hope that.
Speaker 4: The case. Then I don't know why she would even
Speaker 4: agree to go out with me at the start of it.
Speaker 1: It's a good point.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true, So hopefully there's an explanation. Let me
Speaker 2: dial her number right now, let's see if she picks up.
Speaker 2: Here we go, Hello, Hey, we're looking to speak with Lucy.
Speaker 4: H Yeah, we're.
Speaker 2: A radio show called Brook and Jeffrey in the Morning.
Speaker 3: Hey, Lucy, your morning.
Speaker 1: You're on the show, Lucy.
Speaker 5: Okay, what's this about.
Speaker 1: It's our couch review segment in a way.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because we're doing a segment called second Date Update.
Speaker 5: What is that?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 3: Oh, you don't know what that is.
Speaker 2: It's a segment we do where if someone's in like
Speaker 2: a dating scenario and a person blows you off or
Speaker 2: you're not getting back to them, we'll reach out on
Speaker 2: behalf of that person to try and figure out if
Speaker 2: there's a reason for it, just to like help them
Speaker 2: understand what's going on.
Speaker 1: And this one's kind of out of the norm because
Speaker 1: you never actually went on a first.
Speaker 2: Date, right, yeah, because we're talking about a guy named Chad.
Speaker 4: Are you sorry?
Speaker 2: We didn't need to explain more like, couch guy, you
Speaker 2: know exactly who we're talking about. Yeah, we are noting you.
Speaker 2: Chad says that you guys met at a furniture store
Speaker 2: and you exchange numbers.
Speaker 1: It seemed like there was like some flirtation there. Did
Speaker 1: he read that right?
Speaker 5: I mean, yeah, I have a good reason for it,
Speaker 5: but it would just be super uncomfortable.
Speaker 4: Tell him, oh, you.
Speaker 1: Have a good reason for not calling him back or
Speaker 1: going on the date.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because he said that you guys had scheduled dates
Speaker 2: and you kept bailing.
Speaker 5: Yes, I did bail.
Speaker 3: Wait can I ask her just blunt like, did you
Speaker 3: scammer boy?
Speaker 1: Did you just get I think the question is did
Speaker 1: you ever have any intention of actually going on a date?
Speaker 2: Okay, then now let me ask did you ever have
Speaker 2: any intention of actually going on a date?
Speaker 3: Edited? So I sound smarter, thanks Jeff.
Speaker 5: I mean I wasn't to go on a date with him.
Speaker 5: I didn't, Okay, I didn't.
Speaker 4: Have a problem with him.
Speaker 5: It was just like I got the whole couch thing.
Speaker 5: And then a few days after I met Chad, I
Speaker 5: came back to the furniture place with some of my
Speaker 5: friends to pick up the couch because one of my
Speaker 5: friends the pickup truck whatever.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you gotta have a friend with the truck delivery.
Speaker 3: Yeah you have not evere can afford two thousand dollars.
Speaker 1: Probably would have got Jeff doesn't have truck guys in
Speaker 1: his friend.
Speaker 3: He's like, I just have one of my assistants make
Speaker 3: me a new couch.
Speaker 1: You want me to come by with my escalade, So.
Speaker 2: You guys know how it works. Okay, you went to
Speaker 2: the store to pick it up yourself.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was some friends and then what happened?
Speaker 5: Yeah, so I went inside to pay, and who do
Speaker 5: I see? Chad?
Speaker 1: Why is that that he needs a couch?
Speaker 2: Yeah, you took the couch that he wanted to buy,
Speaker 2: so he probably had to get a new one.
Speaker 5: Okay, No, he wasn't like shopping. He was asleep on
Speaker 5: one of the couches, like in the back room area.
Speaker 5: I didn't even know what to do. He didn't see me,
Speaker 5: Like he was asleep, he didn't see me.
Speaker 1: Maybe he was just trying to couch out too hard.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, way, too hard.
Speaker 5: It was so awkward. So I was just gonna leave,
Speaker 5: but I just asked the cashier. I was like, hey,
Speaker 5: what's the deal? With that guy on the great couch
Speaker 5: and he's like, oh, that's the Napper, but like he
Speaker 5: just said it, like it's a nickname, the nap na what. Yeah,
Speaker 5: they called him the Knapper.
Speaker 1: The Knapper okay name for him.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: So like apparently he comes in during his lunch break
Speaker 5: and he takes off his shoes and he takes a
Speaker 5: literal nap.
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 2: Oh, he comes in that often.
Speaker 5: He said that the boss, like the manager lets him
Speaker 5: do it because like once a month he buys all
Speaker 5: the employees lunch.
Speaker 4: Oh let him do it.
Speaker 2: Oh wow, that's a hack.
Speaker 1: So he's sleeping during his lunch break.
Speaker 2: What's going through your mind as they're telling you.
Speaker 5: This, Lucy, I don't want to go out with the napper, like,
Speaker 5: especially that he has a nickname.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but he liked it, Captu. You were on he's
Speaker 1: tried to all out at the store. Yeah, like he
Speaker 1: just happened to be talking to the expert and he
Speaker 1: has a house, like he just goes during his lunch.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, it takes money.
Speaker 2: But you're turned off by the idea of a guy
Speaker 2: who spends every lunch break going into a nap store
Speaker 2: and hanging out at nap store, well sorry, sorry, furniture store,
Speaker 2: and earned earned a reputation as a napper.
Speaker 1: Honestly though, rebranding a furniture store to the nap store.
Speaker 2: So well, then everybody's gonna doing.
Speaker 1: I think you should give him a second chance on
Speaker 1: that line.
Speaker 2: I think you should at least hear him out on
Speaker 2: what he has to say, Lucy, because he is on
Speaker 2: the other line right now listening, unless he fell asleep
Speaker 2: in his sore Yeah, I'm here, Hi, Yeah, hi.
Speaker 5: Chat is so weird that you have a reputation of
Speaker 5: a guy who naps in public?
Speaker 4: I mean, I don't understand what the big deal is.
Speaker 5: I mean, it's like going into a subway and making
Speaker 5: your own sandwich. You just don't do that.
Speaker 4: And I could go and wait and make my own sandwich.
Speaker 4: I do it, but I mean it. I mean it's
Speaker 4: right near my work. They have nice employees, obviously, they
Speaker 4: have really comfy furniture, so they get new furniture in.
Speaker 4: I get to test like the couches, and I know
Speaker 4: which ones are like the softest and the best. And
Speaker 4: that's why I was like zeroed in on the work
Speaker 4: you bought.
Speaker 5: You nap on the couch that I bought.
Speaker 4: Ye so much. I wanted to buy it. I told
Speaker 4: you it was soft the day. I mean, skin cells
Speaker 4: are gross. We're going to go on a date. I
Speaker 4: mean you probably have your tongue in my mouth.
Speaker 1: Whoa strong?
Speaker 3: Too much?
Speaker 1: A good nap is really.
Speaker 4: Life? Yeah, that's the way I live. Man.
Speaker 2: We're not talking about if naps are good or not.
Speaker 2: We're talking about if Lucy is attracted to a man
Speaker 2: who does that.
Speaker 3: I don't understand so much that he has a moniker,
Speaker 3: his own nicknacks.
Speaker 1: I still haven't heard a solid reason, Lucy, why this
Speaker 1: is a turnoff.
Speaker 2: Explain it to Chad.
Speaker 5: Guys, it's weird and it's embarrassing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's only the Kyle guy who knows about it.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're not going on dates at the furniture store.
Speaker 5: If you really aren't that embarrassed by why didn't you
Speaker 5: say that when we met? Why weren't you like, Hey,
Speaker 5: I really like this couch. I've been sleeping on it
Speaker 5: for the last three weeks.
Speaker 4: Maybe because you know that's weird. Coach.
Speaker 3: That doesn't sound right.
Speaker 1: You guys sound like you actually have some chemistry here.
Speaker 1: I don't think that you should let this like get
Speaker 1: in the.
Speaker 2: Way, And if you're willing to not let it get
Speaker 2: in the way, then I guess we're willing to pay
Speaker 2: for it for your next date.
Speaker 5: No, because if I like him, now I'm dating the napper,
Speaker 5: and I just don't want to do that.
Speaker 1: But he's resourceful, he's friendly, you.
Speaker 2: Know, he knows where tongues go, and hopefully he has
Speaker 2: enough money to get your couch officially clean, too, Lucy,
Speaker 2: with all those dead skin cells that he's left.
Speaker 1: On, I would be more worried about the slobbery. Bros.
Speaker 4: Hey, look, I just want to let you know I
Speaker 4: did not leave any residue on your cat.
Speaker 2: Pretty, you have to say it.
Speaker 3: I tell every girl I talked to you. I did
Speaker 3: not leave residue on your.
Speaker 2: Couch Jeffrey in the morning. You know, it was interesting
Speaker 2: to hear broken Alexis' take on.
Speaker 1: That why you were so anti.
Speaker 2: I'm not anti.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying it felt like it though.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well it was just if it was me. And
Speaker 2: I walked into a store and I saw the person
Speaker 2: that I was scheduled to date sleeping there, and I
Speaker 2: found out all of the employees know that person as
Speaker 2: the sleeper during break it would it's still that would
Speaker 2: be like, this is kind of weird. I would take
Speaker 2: a step back.
Speaker 1: And reassessing it's because we've all slept and taken naps
Speaker 1: in our car before. I feel like he's actually taking
Speaker 1: a one up from us. But do you know we
Speaker 1: didn't add Yeah, do you know what we didn't ask
Speaker 1: those if he was an ugly sleeper because.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I also didn't really understand Brooks point that she'd
Speaker 2: saddle up next to him and spoon him.
Speaker 1: That was testing out of the couch. That's what my
Speaker 1: husband and I do. We need to know if we
Speaker 1: both fit on the couch together when were walking TV.
Speaker 2: It's really sweet.
Speaker 1: What is that important?
Speaker 4: I see?
Speaker 2: It's just when I'm looking at the Textport seventy five two,
Speaker 2: it is split. Some people thought that it was weird.
Speaker 2: Some people are like, that's awesome. Good for that guy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Edny buys the employees lunch. Yeah, they're taking it,
Speaker 1: taking advantage of them.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's why they let it.
Speaker 2: Let's normalize napping and random We're on board.
Speaker 3: You see Brooke a sleep at Old Navy today, Do
Speaker 3: not judge.
Speaker 2: She wants you to cuddle up right next time.
Speaker 1: Put one of those scarves around now.
