Speaker 1: The second date of d A true romantic person can
Speaker 1: make a date night out of literally any situation, and
Speaker 1: that's why for their third wedding anniversary, Brook and her
Speaker 1: husband emptied the septic tank together at her parents log cabin,
Speaker 1: which set the mood just right. I hope you didn't
Speaker 1: go rolling around in the mud.
Speaker 2: If you know what, I get your waiters on, Honey,
Speaker 2: it looks like there's a clog.
Speaker 1: And that's how her son Alder came to be. Don't
Speaker 1: ever tell him.
Speaker 3: The tree roots that were causing the problems.
Speaker 1: Our listeners. Jeremy says he came up with a pretty
Speaker 1: unique date idea that he doesn't think has ever been
Speaker 1: done before. And I'm wondering, Jeremy, was raw sewage involved
Speaker 1: in your date night? Or are you not as romantic
Speaker 1: as Brook is?
Speaker 4: Maybe not as romantic as all that.
Speaker 3: Get there someday.
Speaker 1: To a spy. But tell us about the lady that
Speaker 1: you met. What's her name?
Speaker 4: Sure, her name's Tessa. We met through a dating app,
Speaker 4: like a lot of people my age do.
Speaker 2: Now, how long did you guys like text or DM
Speaker 2: before you met up?
Speaker 4: We were like talking for about like three to four weeks.
Speaker 4: Wore on app. I've been single for a little bit
Speaker 4: and we really connected over true crime podcasts. I'm really
Speaker 4: into it.
Speaker 1: Okay, so not so much like raw sewage as like
Speaker 1: human blood and internal organs. See, it's still sexy in
Speaker 1: a way.
Speaker 3: I think it's gross.
Speaker 1: Okay, So you both bonded over true crime?
Speaker 3: How do you make a date out of that?
Speaker 1: Though?
Speaker 3: Are you gonna listen to a podcast together?
Speaker 4: Actually that's where this is going. So you know, since
Speaker 4: we're both into true crime, I have this idea of like,
Speaker 4: why don't we just go to the courthouse, you know,
Speaker 4: and like just fit in on like actual trial.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, Oh my god. You know, real trials
Speaker 3: are real boring.
Speaker 1: Alexis just first thought. Guy wants to take you to
Speaker 1: a courthouse sexy.
Speaker 3: Or no, not sexy? No, what if the guy's a lawyer?
Speaker 1: I was going to say, Rich, wait, what's the case?
Speaker 5: Like?
Speaker 3: Am I into it?
Speaker 1: Like the drama?
Speaker 3: You know?
Speaker 1: The person on trial?
Speaker 6: I mean?
Speaker 1: What was it?
Speaker 2: Like?
Speaker 4: Well, it was actually really boring?
Speaker 2: Yeah, how long did you guys stay?
Speaker 4: We sat in on one trial and it wasn't like
Speaker 4: obviously like a murder case or something really huge. It
Speaker 4: was just domestic assault kind of thing, and that was boring.
Speaker 3: It's depressing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like you're on a first date talking about relationships
Speaker 2: and then you're seeing the worst of the worship.
Speaker 1: On the bright side, it makes you look really really
Speaker 1: good as an option romantically. It's like, at least it
Speaker 1: couldn't be that bad. At least I'm on this side
Speaker 1: of the jail. Celler. They stayed through the whole thing.
Speaker 4: We like hopped around, you know, like we actually sat
Speaker 4: in another one and again it was just like a
Speaker 4: traffic violation, so nothing exciting going on there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like three hours, like, yeah he was jaywalking.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is hot.
Speaker 4: We went to the cafeteria in the courthouse and we
Speaker 4: just had some lunch.
Speaker 1: I've actually heard doing the segment what you at the
Speaker 1: Courthouse that the that the caffetiers are pretty fire, Like
Speaker 1: they have nachos and pizza slices and stuff.
Speaker 2: Yeah, pretty fire for like stadium fereuntains.
Speaker 1: Again, like people can make a romantic date of anything.
Speaker 3: You're on a date. What was her reaction, Well.
Speaker 4: She seemed to be like kind of bummed out and everything,
Speaker 4: like she was on her phone quite a bit. I
Speaker 4: guess you didn't find it as interesting as well. You know,
Speaker 4: it's like, not my fault, I would courthouse has had
Speaker 4: more stuff going on. I can't control that, you know,
Speaker 4: So you needed to be more.
Speaker 3: Like murder entertainment like they do on podcasts and TV.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what I'm saying. Iron It's like you
Speaker 1: like true crime podcasts, but you don't like true crime
Speaker 1: like in real life. Well, I hope you went on
Speaker 1: Yelp and left a bad review for Where's the romantic
Speaker 1: atmosphere in here?
Speaker 3: Were you guys able to get back on track?
Speaker 2: Ever?
Speaker 4: Not really? I mean that I suggested, like, hey, do
Speaker 4: you want to go like see a movie or something? Instead?
Speaker 4: It was still early afternoon, so we had the whole day,
Speaker 4: and she's like, oh, I got the single one on
Speaker 4: later day with my friends, so I'm not available.
Speaker 1: I mean after a few hours you kind of that's
Speaker 1: your window.
Speaker 3: Well interesting you suggested another activity where you just sit and.
Speaker 4: Not talk again. I'm now just seeing that.
Speaker 1: So yeah, clearly a few regrets. Looking back on your date,
Speaker 1: I mean, how did it end?
Speaker 4: I just kind of petered out, you know, just said
Speaker 4: all right, well, I'll catch you later, just like I
Speaker 4: catch on the cheek and I haven't really gotten I mean,
Speaker 4: she's kind of responded my text, but very short answers,
Speaker 4: not really engaging, you know, kind of putting off another date.
Speaker 4: So I just I need to kind a winner back.
Speaker 4: Do you guys have any ideas, like date night ideas
Speaker 4: or something.
Speaker 3: I was going to ask you what you do differently
Speaker 3: if you got another chance.
Speaker 4: I don't think we'd obviously go to the courthouse again
Speaker 4: unless there's something really juicy, no, thank you. You know
Speaker 4: what if it had been like one of those Netflix
Speaker 4: true crime stories that we happen to be like a
Speaker 4: part of that history, that would have been a game changer.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think.
Speaker 1: That happens at the local court, but at least now
Speaker 1: we have something to work with. We're going to google
Speaker 1: some of the biggest crimes that have happened locally in
Speaker 1: our area and maybe we can send you to one
Speaker 1: of those court cases to get her on the phone.
Speaker 3: Let's just go with drinks. Maybe you guys should just
Speaker 3: go get drinks.
Speaker 1: We'll start with drinks, then we'll build up to the
Speaker 1: really romantic stuff and we'll do your second date update
Speaker 1: right after this.
Speaker 4: Cool.
Speaker 1: Hold on, Wow, what a great idea for a first date.
Speaker 1: If you're into true crime, just head right to the
Speaker 1: source and bring your special lady down to the courthouse
Speaker 1: so the two of you can laugh and make fun
Speaker 1: of the criminals being prosecuted for low level misdemeanors and
Speaker 1: then share a hot kiss during the sentences?
Speaker 5: Is that probation and they didn't get to the sentencing
Speaker 5: party before?
Speaker 3: That's why they didn't kiss.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, where's that suggestion in Cosmo Magazine's Hot
Speaker 1: Date Night tips?
Speaker 5: It's probably there, probably because that's really where Jeremy took
Speaker 5: Tessa the other day for their first meetup, because the
Speaker 5: two of them bonded over true crime documentaries while they
Speaker 5: were talking online and thought it might be fun to show.
Speaker 1: Up to a real one. They quickly realized court isn't
Speaker 1: quite as exciting as it seems on the Netflix shows
Speaker 1: and Judge Judy, so the romance never really materialize and
Speaker 1: he's just really hoping for a redo num right, Jeremy.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's exactly right, I'm hoping for I don't think
Speaker 4: you should beat yourself up over this, though, because it
Speaker 4: was I mean, Tessa was into it too, like it
Speaker 4: was your decision together.
Speaker 3: It sounds like to go to it. So maybe she's
Speaker 3: having the same.
Speaker 2: Regret right now, like, ah, we would have done something different,
Speaker 2: it would have worked out, but we did it. Should
Speaker 2: call him back, I know, because because they had bad vibes,
Speaker 2: you know, like the vibes could never get on, so
Speaker 2: you just you don't want to call people back after that.
Speaker 1: Maybe she needs a little nudge from us.
Speaker 4: Yea.
Speaker 1: Possibly she fell in love with the defendant, those bad boys.
Speaker 1: They always three years for him to get out.
Speaker 3: The bailiffs.
Speaker 1: Make good money.
Speaker 4: That better not. It happened that bailiff was at least sixteen, So.
Speaker 1: I know, Alexis. But we'll see what Tessa has to say.
Speaker 1: I'm in a call her number right now, right all right, Well,
Speaker 1: hopefully she answers. Let's see, hopefully she's not missing.
Speaker 4: Hello.
Speaker 1: Hey is this Tessa? Yes, Tessa? What's up? My name
Speaker 1: is jeff from a radio show called Brook and Jeffrey
Speaker 1: in the Morning and a podcast.
Speaker 2: She's really familiar with podcasts.
Speaker 3: You want to bring that up.
Speaker 2: What show are you calling from?
Speaker 1: It's called Brook and Jeffrey in the Morning.
Speaker 6: I don't I don't know what that is.
Speaker 1: We're on radio, We're on podcasts or on YouTube. We're
Speaker 1: all over the place.
Speaker 3: You should listen.
Speaker 6: Radio still exists.
Speaker 5: That hurt.
Speaker 3: That hurt, Tessa, that was like right in my heart. Okay,
Speaker 3: that was not called for.
Speaker 1: And yes it does. That was a first degree stabbing
Speaker 1: in public. But that's also why we have a podcast.
Speaker 1: We're going to forgive you though, if you can give
Speaker 1: us some answers that we've been looking for to help
Speaker 1: out our listener named Jeremy.
Speaker 6: Wait, Jeremy the guy I went on a day with.
Speaker 1: That's right, you do remember why did he call you? Well,
Speaker 1: because he had a well, I can't even say he
Speaker 1: had a great time. He he told us that you
Speaker 1: two met up the other day at a courthouse for
Speaker 1: a date, and even he admits that maybe it wasn't
Speaker 1: the best date idea.
Speaker 2: You thought it was a good idea going in as well,
Speaker 2: right to do the courthouse thing since you both like
Speaker 2: true crime?
Speaker 6: He said, well, okay, so just for doing this. I
Speaker 6: definitely was open to the idea because we certainly have
Speaker 6: the podcasting in common. But yeah, I mean it was
Speaker 6: pretty snoozefest.
Speaker 1: I'll admit he feels really bad that he went through
Speaker 1: with that, and wants to switch things up for another
Speaker 1: meetup something more exciting. Uh, I mean sensing some hesitation
Speaker 1: though from you.
Speaker 6: It sounds like he didn't give you all the details.
Speaker 2: I mean he said, you guys went and ate in
Speaker 2: the cafeteria. Was that lame because that sounds kind of lame.
Speaker 6: I mean that was like probably the least concerning part
Speaker 6: of the day. Lunch was fine.
Speaker 3: Oh there was a concerning part.
Speaker 4: Yeah, what was that?
Speaker 6: I don't know if I was going to get him
Speaker 6: in trouble. But the minute we got there, he was
Speaker 6: like immediately like, oh, let's go to the third floor.
Speaker 6: And I was like, oh, have you been here before?
Speaker 6: Do you like do this often?
Speaker 3: Okay?
Speaker 6: And he's like, I've been here before. I was involved
Speaker 6: in a Ponzi scheme when I was younger, so I
Speaker 6: had a trial up on the third floor. I know
Speaker 6: that they do some good trials up there.
Speaker 1: Scammer. We didn't get that detail when we talked to him.
Speaker 3: Wow, And it is honest, but he's so casually dropped
Speaker 3: it like it didn't mean anything to him.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean I guess like he kind of explained
Speaker 6: that like he got accused that he wasn't convicted of anything.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 6: He just was like, yeah, I know my way around
Speaker 6: since I've been here before.
Speaker 2: Okay, so he was innocent. So is it just that
Speaker 2: history that turned you off?
Speaker 6: Okay, you want to talk about history. So the first
Speaker 6: trial was boring, so we left and he was like,
Speaker 6: let's go down the hallway to this other room. He's like,
Speaker 6: I know this fun. I had to go to this trial.
Speaker 3: For a different reason.
Speaker 1: He's had to go to court multiple times.
Speaker 6: God, because he was caught passing bad check and it's all.
Speaker 3: For like, boy doesn't have a lot of money.
Speaker 1: So is that something that turns you on or turns
Speaker 1: you on? Because now I'm kind of getting interested because.
Speaker 6: I was like, oh, so you've been to court twice
Speaker 6: and he's like, oh yeah, on my twenties, I like
Speaker 6: found myself in the court system quite a bit. He's like,
Speaker 6: I even got wrongly accused of simple assault in a
Speaker 6: park fight.
Speaker 1: What what?
Speaker 2: It's never good when the person's always wrongly accused, Like
Speaker 2: if it's like you're.
Speaker 3: Multiple over and over again.
Speaker 2: At some points, the accusations were probably.
Speaker 1: It sounds like he's just in the wrong place at
Speaker 1: the wrong time all the time. Every place.
Speaker 6: I'm like, maybe there should be a podcast about him,
Speaker 6: like we're doing it right now.
Speaker 4: Oh no, I.
Speaker 1: Gotta tell you Jeremy's been there.
Speaker 4: Hey, Tessa, there he is.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 3: That sounds like a hardened criminal.
Speaker 4: I'm not breaking the law right now, I promise you that.
Speaker 4: And as I said before, I had a pretty wild
Speaker 4: time in my teens in my twenties, but that's all
Speaker 4: in the past. And change man. Yeah, I am a
Speaker 4: changed man. And I mean I was honest with you,
Speaker 4: and I let that part of my life available to you.
Speaker 4: And I thought you might connect and be sympathetic because
Speaker 4: you're into true crime. But I don't know.
Speaker 6: That's a lot. That's a lot like how did you
Speaker 6: get reformed? Did you get some sort of help or
Speaker 6: therapy or something, because that seems extreme to go through.
Speaker 6: I don't quite believe that you're fully changed. I mean,
Speaker 6: do people ever really change?
Speaker 4: WHOA Wow, that's a very cynical view of things, and
Speaker 4: it seems very judgmental of you right now.
Speaker 6: Actually, I've never been arrested for anything, so I can't
Speaker 6: imagine your pleasure.
Speaker 1: Oh that's a good point. Some people completely change around.
Speaker 4: I think.
Speaker 1: I did.
Speaker 3: A guy that was a convicted grand theft auto.
Speaker 1: He had that and that was It's not something that
Speaker 1: most people bragging about.
Speaker 3: I'm just saying it didn't divine who he was. He
Speaker 3: made a bad choice when he was young, like that happens.
Speaker 3: He had a pretty good explanation for everything.
Speaker 1: Are you still with him?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 1: Weird? Why not the grand theft auto?
Speaker 2: Guy?
Speaker 1: I mean there was some other Maybe you should practice
Speaker 1: what you preach, Brooke.
Speaker 3: I didn't break up with him because of his felony.
Speaker 1: Overall, Tessa, it sounds to me like Jeremy is being
Speaker 1: upfront with you, at least about his past. He's not
Speaker 1: trying to hide it from you. He's putting it all
Speaker 1: out there.
Speaker 4: I'm literally broadcasting it on the radio now. Apparently.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and listen, anyone on the run would not go
Speaker 2: to the courthouse, Okay, if he was wanted for something,
Speaker 2: that's not what he would do.
Speaker 6: Sure, yeah, but how do I know that? I don't
Speaker 6: know that for sure. Like maybe he's like going to
Speaker 6: these courtrooms to like learn about how he can be
Speaker 6: better at crime.
Speaker 4: I don't know how you approach every man is there's
Speaker 4: a potential that things can go bad.
Speaker 6: Therefore, not every man a beating has committed a Ponzi
Speaker 6: scheme and try things so some works.
Speaker 1: And in his defense, he was absolved of every crime
Speaker 1: he got accused of so until proven guilty. And I
Speaker 1: would like to give him the chance to prove just
Speaker 1: how boring he really is by sending you on another
Speaker 1: date with him, and we would pay for it.
Speaker 4: You know what, I'm never going to jump in here.
Speaker 4: I'm going to go ahead and pass myself. Oh he's
Speaker 4: very judgemental.
Speaker 1: Bad boy jumping into saying I don't play by the
Speaker 1: rules of the radio anymore. I want to do it
Speaker 1: my way.
Speaker 6: Thank you for declining me, because I was about to.
Speaker 6: I didn't want to have to hurt your feelings, but
Speaker 6: you just showed your Wow.
Speaker 1: Look at that. A guy commits a few, several dozen
Speaker 1: crimes in his life and suddenly he's labeled a bad guy. Wow,
Speaker 1: I guess dismissed.
Speaker 3: We need a gavel.
Speaker 1: I don't have a gavel. I have a tape dispenser
Speaker 1: in here. So the court dismissed. That just broke the
Speaker 1: tape dispenser. Look what you did, Jeremy. You broke my
Speaker 1: tape dispens put his wanted poster on our wall to.
Speaker 4: The tap.
Speaker 1: Rook Jeffrey in the morning. You know, I'm trying to
Speaker 1: think about what would have made that courtroom date even
Speaker 1: worse than it already was. Is there anything worse than
Speaker 1: admitting to all the times you've ever had to make
Speaker 1: an appearance in the courtroom before that moment?
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, if you're at the place where it happened,
Speaker 3: how could it not be top of mind?
Speaker 1: For Yeah, I've been here many times. It brings back
Speaker 1: so many happy memories for me.
Speaker 3: Actually used the bathroom on the second floor much nicer.
Speaker 1: Maybe if the guy at the metal detector was like,
Speaker 1: oh hey, Bob, good to see you again. You forgot
Speaker 1: these and handsy, some like iron knuckles, then it could
Speaker 1: have been worse.
Speaker 3: Iron knuckles. I think that's what you means.
Speaker 1: Oh well, Ard Streets Brass doesn't do the trick on
Speaker 1: this body. But I mean, other than that, I think
Speaker 1: it's safe to say courtroom first date. Cross that one
Speaker 1: off of your date list. Ideas, Yeah, if anyone else
Speaker 1: is thinking about it, there, yeah, there's.
Speaker 3: One guy that's like, dang it huge.
Speaker 1: But you know what, whatever your first date is, whether
Speaker 1: it was romantic or just super boring, we want to
Speaker 1: help you out. You can always email the show. We'll
Speaker 1: call that person who is in calling you back. And
