Speaker 2: You need to branch out from doing the same old
Speaker 2: activities and think outside the box.
Speaker 1: Nobody wants to think inside the box. Chef.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like, instead of taking her to a high end
Speaker 2: seafood restaurant, take her down to the docks, hands her
Speaker 2: a pole in a bucket of worms, and see if
Speaker 2: she can catch her own seafood.
Speaker 1: Teach a man to fish, Yeah.
Speaker 3: Well get it.
Speaker 2: That's close to the saying, I know. Give a woman
Speaker 2: a fish, she'll eat for a day. Teach a woman
Speaker 2: to fish, she'll smell like clams.
Speaker 3: For an entire week. That's a good thing.
Speaker 2: And one of our listeners has reached out after he
Speaker 2: took a woman on an out of the box type
Speaker 2: of date. His name is Gage, so let's talk to
Speaker 2: him about it. Gage, Welcome to the show man.
Speaker 5: Hey, how you going?
Speaker 1: Oh did you do some urban foraging to make a salad?
Speaker 5: In a sense, you're actually pretty close.
Speaker 3: Do you know what urban foraging means?
Speaker 1: Gage, Well, it's a more uncouth way to.
Speaker 3: Say sorry sorry, instead of us guessing.
Speaker 2: Why don't you tell us about this woman that you
Speaker 2: meant what you did together.
Speaker 5: Well, her name's Ainsley and she is just super duper cute.
Speaker 5: We met on one of the dating websites, and great
Speaker 5: picture is great personality, at least online.
Speaker 4: So we set up a date.
Speaker 1: Okay, were you thinking in that moment that you wanted
Speaker 1: to do something unique and special or is unique and
Speaker 1: special what you always do?
Speaker 4: I kind of almost forgot about it, like really knock
Speaker 4: up on me.
Speaker 1: Oh the way Jeff set it up, it sounded like
Speaker 1: you were playing something.
Speaker 3: Well that's how I thought.
Speaker 4: I didn't.
Speaker 2: I thought this is an out of the box date.
Speaker 2: You didn't even have a box.
Speaker 1: This is a scrambling, don't know what's happening.
Speaker 3: Date, Like, let's just do whatever.
Speaker 2: So what did you decide to do with Ainsley at
Speaker 2: the last second?
Speaker 4: So she messaged me just an hour before the confirm
Speaker 4: I was like, oh, yeah, let's meet at this address.
Speaker 5: So I gave her an address.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, Google like Olive gardens address and give it to.
Speaker 3: Her or what.
Speaker 4: No, but it wasn't a strip mall. So there may
Speaker 4: have been an Olive garden nearby, but there's.
Speaker 3: A lot of businesses there.
Speaker 1: I'm still in like, could it be a manny petty
Speaker 1: at a strip mall? I mean, I'm always down for
Speaker 1: one of those.
Speaker 5: We went antiquing.
Speaker 4: Oh isn't that cool?
Speaker 2: Alexis I like drifting, So I mean the same, it's
Speaker 2: just way more expensive. Thrifting as like clothes and antiquing
Speaker 2: as like furniture.
Speaker 3: So what did you buy? Like a desk together or.
Speaker 1: Like glass where they have such fun glass?
Speaker 2: Yeah, some old lamps that's hot.
Speaker 5: You know, there's some really nice pawn shops out there,
Speaker 5: so I the first stop was my favorite box.
Speaker 3: But you don't have to tell us where those nice
Speaker 3: pawn shops are. Yeah what?
Speaker 5: Sorry?
Speaker 3: Go ahead, stars.
Speaker 5: Well, I took her to up like three different places
Speaker 5: and she found this vintage scarf that I think was
Speaker 5: from the sixties that she clearly really liked.
Speaker 1: And so did you buy it for her?
Speaker 4: Well? I took it up to the front. The guy
Speaker 4: wouldn't bunch on it. He wanted fifteen, which is crazy.
Speaker 1: Fifteen bucks. You're not going for.
Speaker 3: Her deal on a date.
Speaker 4: It was only worth at least eight.
Speaker 5: I mean, come on, you gotta have that go part
Speaker 5: of the thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, you don't want to have a woman see
Speaker 2: you getting ripped off, because that's not attractive either.
Speaker 3: So I'm glad that you stood your ground.
Speaker 1: And were like, no, what did she say when you
Speaker 1: didn't buy it?
Speaker 4: She said it was fine. I think she was impressed.
Speaker 4: You guys are right. It's an alpha move.
Speaker 1: Yes, oh yeah, I think she wanted the scarf. She
Speaker 1: didn't get the scarf end of day.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I told her she could go back again another
Speaker 5: time if she wanted.
Speaker 4: But not that day.
Speaker 5: You can never go back the same day to get
Speaker 5: that item, yeah, because.
Speaker 1: Then they'll just that they'll charge you because then they
Speaker 1: know you really wanted.
Speaker 3: Okay, that doesn't feel like very romantic, but that.
Speaker 1: Was the first step. Okay, maybe you got or something
Speaker 1: great at another shop.
Speaker 2: I respectfully disagree with what everybody else is saying in
Speaker 2: the room.
Speaker 3: I think you're doing a great job, Gage, so keep going.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was fun. And then you know, we're getting
Speaker 5: a little hungry because we've been doing that for forty
Speaker 5: five minutes an hour. So we popped down to this
Speaker 5: little local bar and grab some popcorn shrimp and had
Speaker 5: a couple of beers.
Speaker 3: N did you talk them down from the price of
Speaker 3: the shrimp.
Speaker 4: That price was firm, unfortunately.
Speaker 1: What was the like, what was the vibe between you two?
Speaker 6: Like?
Speaker 5: It was cool?
Speaker 4: I mean shopping was definitely the high point. Once we
Speaker 4: sat down and we're having some dinner and drinks, it
Speaker 4: didn't quite feel as natural. The conversation was a little
Speaker 4: forced at that point. But I'm still I like her
Speaker 4: and I want to take her on a real date now, Oh.
Speaker 1: Like one you actually remember before it comes up.
Speaker 2: Oh I seen so, not like a last minute date
Speaker 2: that you just threw together.
Speaker 3: Maybe even make a reservation.
Speaker 4: Oh, whoa, Yeah, I'm willing to make a reservation.
Speaker 2: Wow, you're willing to go that far for this girl
Speaker 2: after hanging out with.
Speaker 1: Her once, she's gonna swoom. Oh yeah, this.
Speaker 4: Is the talks about it.
Speaker 2: I know you might even propose by the time we
Speaker 2: get to the end of the call.
Speaker 3: I'm scared. How long has it been since you last
Speaker 3: hung out with her?
Speaker 5: It's been a week and a half.
Speaker 1: God, if you were a pro, you'd go back to
Speaker 1: the pawn shop, get the scarf, and then bring it
Speaker 1: to the next day.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I'm way ahead of you. I went back there to
Speaker 5: get that scarf. Oh he jacked up.
Speaker 4: The price to eighteen bucks.
Speaker 5: I didn't get it.
Speaker 1: You didn't get it, no way you thought about it. No,
Speaker 1: that's just three more dollars.
Speaker 3: He's not willing to budge.
Speaker 2: I appreciate that you know what you want and you
Speaker 2: stick to your guns, and you will go for it
Speaker 2: for nothing less than what you think it's worth.
Speaker 3: That's what we're gonna do with Ainsley here today.
Speaker 4: Now, let's focus on Ainsley, not the crummy shop where
Speaker 4: I gave a one star Reviewtube good Man.
Speaker 2: All right, well, I guarantee you that our listeners are
Speaker 2: gonna give you a five star review once we get
Speaker 2: you a second date?
Speaker 4: Is this free of charger? What do I have to
Speaker 4: pay for it?
Speaker 3: I like that you're already starting to haggle. I appreciate
Speaker 3: that about you, Gauge.
Speaker 1: I feel ten bucks.
Speaker 3: We should start, Yeah, we should start somewhere. Yeah, we're
Speaker 3: gonna start at one hundred dollars.
Speaker 2: We'll meet somewhere in the middle when we come back
Speaker 2: and do your second date update right after.
Speaker 1: This, Brook and Jeffrey in the morning Second date Update.
Speaker 2: I'm not sure if a last second trip to an
Speaker 2: old pawn shop is what most women would consider a
Speaker 2: romantic experience, but hey, maybe Ainsley isn't most women. That's
Speaker 2: what we're hoping for, because we've been talking with one
Speaker 2: of our listeners, Gauge, and he admits he did not
Speaker 2: do much planning before his big date with Ainsley, so
Speaker 2: they ended up just bouncing around a local strip mall
Speaker 2: doing some antiquing, haggling over the price of old nineteen
Speaker 2: sixty scarves, which he never actually bought. So it's been
Speaker 2: a week and a half and Gauge has now reached
Speaker 2: out to us saying he would really like a redo
Speaker 2: where he promises he will definitely do more planning this
Speaker 2: time around.
Speaker 3: Yes, he even said.
Speaker 4: He may make a reservation.
Speaker 3: Why our jaws dropped.
Speaker 1: We never asked him. Did you hear anything from Ainsley
Speaker 1: after the date?
Speaker 4: Not a thing?
Speaker 1: Oh, okay, okay, Well maybe she's just busy ponn in
Speaker 1: her stuff like she drew her eyes were really open
Speaker 1: to start getting the possibility.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he got the fever.
Speaker 1: Yes, look at you.
Speaker 2: I know now you have like a shared interest that
Speaker 2: carries on through the rest of your relationship.
Speaker 3: If we can get her to agree to a second date.
Speaker 3: What she picks up and she's in a pawn shop. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I'm actually in the middle of negotiate and.
Speaker 1: Gotta call you back.
Speaker 2: Yet, this might be a match made in heaven.
Speaker 3: It could be. Let's see if she even answers the phone.
Speaker 3: I'm going to dial her right now. Here we go.
Speaker 2: Hello, hey, Ainsley, this is jeff from the radio show
Speaker 2: Brook and Jeffrey in the Morning.
Speaker 7: Oh hi, Hi, Hi.
Speaker 1: Shows here, Hi, Hi, good morning. I like your name.
Speaker 7: Thank you.
Speaker 1: She's like my parents did. Well.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we definitely approve, and we don't want to be
Speaker 2: too intrusive here anything, but we would like to ask
Speaker 2: you a few intimate details about your dating life.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, nothing too over the time.
Speaker 1: If we don't want the intimate part.
Speaker 3: We do want to pry a little bit if that's okay.
Speaker 7: But I don't know. I guess it depends.
Speaker 6: I'm not sure.
Speaker 2: I'll just ask do you remember going out a little
Speaker 2: while ago with a guy named Gage?
Speaker 6: Oh?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, perfect, Oh gosh.
Speaker 2: Gauged has reached out to us asking if we could
Speaker 2: get a hold of you because this is a segment
Speaker 2: called a second Date Update, and we're trying to help
Speaker 2: him figure out if there's a reason why you haven't
Speaker 2: seen each other in the last week.
Speaker 3: And a half.
Speaker 7: Okay, so he wait, he called you, guys.
Speaker 2: He reached out to us, and from what we heard
Speaker 2: it sounds like, at least from the way you're acting,
Speaker 2: maybe you don't want to go out with him again.
Speaker 2: But we don't know if that's true, or if there
Speaker 2: was a problem with the date or with him.
Speaker 1: We'd love to know why.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, would you mind telling us a little
Speaker 2: bit about your experience with Gage?
Speaker 7: Sure?
Speaker 1: I guess, well, I mean only.
Speaker 2: Because he's clueless, he doesn't know if something went wrong.
Speaker 6: Okay, Yeah, yeah, sure, that's fine.
Speaker 1: Okay, So we'll start at the strip mall. Is that
Speaker 1: where we start?
Speaker 7: Yeah, so you know about that.
Speaker 6: So he gives me this address, which is a strip mall.
Speaker 1: Did you look it up before you got there or
Speaker 1: was it a surprise?
Speaker 7: No, it was a surprise. I didn't know where it was.
Speaker 2: Okay, So that's and on a scale of one to ten,
Speaker 2: how romantic was that idea?
Speaker 6: Well, it was an antique shop, which is I thought
Speaker 6: kind of cute. Like it's totally different. Never been on
Speaker 6: a date at an antique shop before that was new.
Speaker 1: Was it a pawn shop or an antique shop?
Speaker 3: I think they went to bull Oh.
Speaker 7: Okay, it was the first one.
Speaker 6: Was an antique shop, which was cute. So we go
Speaker 6: in and we're like looking around for ten or fifteen minutes,
Speaker 6: and he's kind of like quirky, you know, he's got
Speaker 6: this like quirky personality and he's funny, and.
Speaker 1: Oh so you like that. That was a plus?
Speaker 6: Yeah, I would fun until he's like, Hey, let's go
Speaker 6: over here across the way, there's this pawn shop over here.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you can find cool all that stuff at pawn shops.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 7: I had never been to one, so I didn't know.
Speaker 6: So we go over to this pawn shop, which is
Speaker 6: very different than the antique shop vibe. Yeah, it's huge.
Speaker 6: It's like it's very big. It's you know, I'd never
Speaker 6: been in one, so I'm kind of like walking around.
Speaker 7: Trying to figure out what this place is.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and he he's over at the counter and like
Speaker 6: talking to some guy that works at the pawn shop.
Speaker 6: And so I realized, I've been looking at stuff for
Speaker 6: a while and he's been talking to the guy for
Speaker 6: a while. So I'm like, what is he talking about?
Speaker 7: Like what's going on?
Speaker 6: So I kind of like sneak over to see if
Speaker 6: I can hear what they're talking about because it seems
Speaker 6: kind of secretive, and I can see that he's got
Speaker 6: a ring like a woman's ring, which looks like an
Speaker 6: engagement ring.
Speaker 1: Yeah, those get pawned a lot, like rings and guns
Speaker 1: are really well, why.
Speaker 3: Were you trying to buy an engagement ring?
Speaker 7: He wasn't trying to buy it.
Speaker 6: I think he's trying to sell it.
Speaker 3: Oh, so the guy has.
Speaker 6: The loop and they're looking at it, and it occurs
Speaker 6: to me that we're not on a date.
Speaker 7: He's trying to sell his engagement ring.
Speaker 1: You're running an errand a really questionable Errand so why
Speaker 1: didn't you ask him? Why did you ask him? What
Speaker 1: are you doing? What was that?
Speaker 6: Because if he didn't tell me, that would be weird
Speaker 6: to ask him.
Speaker 1: Maybe you could position yourself as a potential buyer.
Speaker 2: I know Brooke is much more intrusive than most people.
Speaker 2: She'll just go up and ask any question, doesn't matter
Speaker 2: how offensive.
Speaker 1: Do you need to call out men more? If your
Speaker 1: date is pawning a ring during the date, I think
Speaker 1: you have every right to be like, yo, what's up?
Speaker 3: Did you just do that?
Speaker 2: Let's just ask him right now the book way, because
Speaker 2: he is on the other line wanting to talk to
Speaker 2: you as soon as we punched him.
Speaker 3: Really, yeah, yeah, I think he's their gauge.
Speaker 7: Hi high Gage.
Speaker 5: So you didn't you didn't like antiquing.
Speaker 1: No, I don't know what he's trying to not address
Speaker 1: the situation.
Speaker 2: You didn't mention anything to us about a ring at
Speaker 2: the shop.
Speaker 5: Look, it belonged to a girl that I did not
Speaker 5: end up marrying, like a year ago. It's like old news.
Speaker 6: You had a year to sell the ring, but you
Speaker 6: waited till the day of the date.
Speaker 5: I'm a busy guy.
Speaker 4: I tried to stack things together. You know I'm gonna
Speaker 4: multitask if I'm close to the pawn shop, I'm gonna
Speaker 4: take care of it.
Speaker 1: Did you think she wouldn't notice?
Speaker 4: Look, I was just trying to kill two birds with
Speaker 4: one stone.
Speaker 1: You killed both birds, though, is it problem?
Speaker 4: Okay?
Speaker 5: Well fine, but are you saying that was a heart off?
Speaker 6: It was so weird and like, okay, even if you're
Speaker 6: gonna do that, why wouldn't you tell me or like
Speaker 6: loop me in that that's what we're doing.
Speaker 4: Well, I was gonna ask if you wanted to try
Speaker 4: it on, because the guy was giving me a key
Speaker 4: price for it.
Speaker 5: I thought that would be even weirder.
Speaker 1: Did you imagine, Hey, will you try on my exes
Speaker 1: and cage rags if I could get a better price.
Speaker 2: Well, is saying that she just wanted that clear communication
Speaker 2: so she knew what was going on.
Speaker 1: He would you have done that? Come on?
Speaker 6: I actually honestly think I probably would have, like if
Speaker 6: I felt looped in on.
Speaker 1: It, Oh, like a body incline.
Speaker 5: I mean, look, I'm a commitment minded person.
Speaker 4: I think that's what that shows.
Speaker 3: Oh that is yeah, Gage, did you actually sell it?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 5: He didn't want to offer me anything for it. Of course,
Speaker 5: I was trying to make enough money for dinner. I
Speaker 5: didn't want to use my credit card.
Speaker 1: That's a man who doesn't want to go into debt Ainsley.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm a cash man.
Speaker 2: Yeah, someone that can think on his feet as like
Speaker 2: the moment comes to him. So we're seeing a lot
Speaker 2: of positives from this Ainslee, and we think you should
Speaker 2: too and consider giving him another chance, because if you do,
Speaker 2: we will offer to pay for your second date.
Speaker 1: You guys might be a matchmate in heaven. Since you
Speaker 1: are a woman. You would have tried that engagement ring
Speaker 1: on and he still needs.
Speaker 3: To sell it or you can hold onto it and
Speaker 3: use it on you one day.
Speaker 7: Oh, I would like to see it. You know. Now
Speaker 7: I'm curious about his case in spring.
Speaker 4: Oh. Hey, look, I've been thinking about you for the
Speaker 4: last ten days, and I went back to that pawn
Speaker 4: shop to get that start, but the guy jacked up
Speaker 4: the price to eighteen dollars.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, he's.
Speaker 5: Trying to gouge me. So I didn't get it. But
Speaker 5: you've been on my mind. I'm just asking you please
Speaker 5: let me take your on a real date where I'm
Speaker 5: not pawning any jewelry.
Speaker 2: Wow, that's a that's a super romantic Ainsley. We've never
Speaker 2: heard a man say that on this segment. We've done
Speaker 2: thousands of these calls, but at this point we do
Speaker 2: need a yes or no. Do you want to see
Speaker 2: Gauge one more time?
Speaker 4: Sure?
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, we've ever had her heart was so in
Speaker 2: that Gauge.
Speaker 5: All right, I'm gonna impress you.
Speaker 7: You better.
Speaker 2: Oh, this is not only a ninety percent chance that
Speaker 2: she's gonna ghost you before you actually meet up, So
Speaker 2: good luck. I except I'll take those out Brook and
Speaker 2: Jeffrey in the morning. And how many relationship experts always say,
Speaker 2: if a man could just communicate a little bit more,
Speaker 2: it's gonna make the relationship that much better.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean that's true.
Speaker 3: All the time. So gentlemen, don't be secretive anymore.
Speaker 2: Tell your date you want her to help you sell
Speaker 2: your ex girlfriend's belongings at the Pond store. Ye ask
Speaker 2: them to model that engagement ring.
Speaker 1: It sounds nuts, but it would have worked with her.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you do that and she will love you forever.
Speaker 2: That is what I've learned from today's call.
Speaker 1: I mean, she didn't say whether or not she'd want
Speaker 1: to cut though. I mean, if you're going to be
Speaker 1: the model and you're gonna help the sale, I'm just
Speaker 1: saying there's probably a percentage that should be thrown. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And a cut of money is the start to
Speaker 2: any healthy.
Speaker 3: Relationship, That's right.
Speaker 1: Jeff Monday Dating.
Speaker 2: I love that we're doing this service for the world
Speaker 2: and all the daters out there. So if you want
Speaker 2: to get in on this action, email the show. We'll
