Speaker 1: The second date of dating. Dating is a lot like
Speaker 1: riding a bike. First, you do it with dad's help.
Speaker 1: Why because right behind you making sure that you don't
Speaker 1: get hurt because it's scary the first few times.
Speaker 2: Why is your dad there?
Speaker 1: Well, mom's holding the camera shouting positive things, don't close
Speaker 1: your eyes, stop crying.
Speaker 2: You have a really close family.
Speaker 1: But then eventually dad let's go. And suddenly look at
Speaker 1: that you're doing it all by yourself.
Speaker 2: Why is mom still there with the video camera?
Speaker 1: Asked her to be there? But I bring you back
Speaker 1: afar up because one of our listeners, Dennis, emailed the show,
Speaker 1: and Dennis It says, this was your first date that

Speaker 2: That's sweet.
Speaker 4: I mean, she's not calling you back, so there must

Speaker 4: really learn about her, because it sounds like this was
Speaker 4: a lot about your interests, your activities.
Speaker 3: It was. She did a lot of talking, but mostly
Speaker 3: was about her work and her job. I mean, she's okay,
Speaker 3: she got like a high pressure job.
Speaker 1: Okay, And did you hook up in the modern.
Speaker 3: If you mean, did we do anything that somebody would
Speaker 3: be saying we should have done on a first date
Speaker 3: or anything like that. No, we did that.
Speaker 2: Nobody on this show would say the wrong.
Speaker 3: Show a nice little goodbye, just a hug, a little
Speaker 3: peck of the cheek, nothing, nothing out of the ordinary.
Speaker 1: Well overall, it sounds like it's a pretty solid date.
Speaker 1: How long has it been since you last talked to her?
Speaker 3: It's been a couple of months? What months been a
Speaker 3: couple of months?
Speaker 2: Have you dated since? Or you did the one day?

Speaker 1: All right, hold on it, Dennis. I know you've been
Speaker 1: telling us that you just got back into the dating
Speaker 1: scene and you didn't know what you were doing. But
Speaker 1: I'm guessing that Stephanie thought you were a player, you know,
Speaker 1: just into the rock climbing place with your extra large
Speaker 1: harness on, acting like a boss fist, bumping all your friends,
Speaker 1: talking about your new clubs and activities. I bet she
Speaker 1: thought you were some type of smooth talker. It gets
Speaker 1: around town.
Speaker 3: There's no way she could though.
Speaker 1: Actually, I would like you to prove right now that
Speaker 1: you're not pretend that Brooke is single and you just
Speaker 1: saw her out on the street. Give us your best
Speaker 1: pickup line to get her interested. Go ahead, Dennis, Hey, Brooke, Yeah,

Speaker 4: anywhere you get your podcast Spotify, Apple.
Speaker 1: Periodically, you listen to whatever you want to listen to, Stephanie.
Speaker 1: But we're calling you today because we're trying to get
Speaker 1: a second date update for one of our listeners.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 1: It's a guy that you went out with a little
Speaker 1: while ago. His name's Dennis. Do you remember a couple
Speaker 1: months back.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, that's quite a while ago.
Speaker 4: That's the reaction, remember, Yeah, that's the reaction we had
Speaker 4: when he told us how long it had been.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's been it's been a while, so I I
Speaker 6: have to think for a minute.
Speaker 1: Well, it's a good sign that he's reaching out to you.
Speaker 1: I know it's a little bit late, but yeah, he
Speaker 1: told us about your date and said he had a
Speaker 1: really good time with you. And afterwards he said he
Speaker 1: tried texting and calling you, but he hasn't gotten any response.
Speaker 1: Oh have you been seeing those?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 6: You know, he was a really nice guy. I just
Speaker 6: I feel like he was just looking for something else.
Speaker 1: I oh, yeah, can you explain.
Speaker 6: Well, I mean I just have different expectations at this
Speaker 6: point in my life, and he just seemed to we
Speaker 6: just seemed to be out of alignment. Second.
Speaker 1: Okay, well, I mean he told us a little bit
Speaker 1: about your date that you guys went rock climbing and
Speaker 1: went to a bar and got to talking a lot
Speaker 1: about your lives. Is something come up?
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean things are great, we're reviving and made
Speaker 6: a couple of beers, and he kind of gets to
Speaker 6: you more a little bit of like yourself. Yeah, and
Speaker 6: he threw in a line where he said something like
Speaker 6: he was just looking for a hookup buddy.
Speaker 1: What yeah, wow, yeah, wait, he didn't say anything like
Speaker 1: that to us.
Speaker 4: It sounded like to us that he was looking for
Speaker 4: a long term relationship.
Speaker 2: I mean we talked to him about how he had.
Speaker 4: Spent two years single, working on himself and that he
Speaker 4: was finally ready to see what was out there because
Speaker 4: he felt like he had something to offer someone.
Speaker 6: No, No, that's not the vibe I got. He said
Speaker 6: he was happy that he had a friends with benefits now.
Speaker 2: Friends friends with benefits, that's what he said.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Oh no, I can't really just say that.
Speaker 4: That means like, as in, you are his friend with
Speaker 4: benefits even though you haven't given him any benefits yet.
Speaker 6: Yeah, right, Like I had been assigned the title.
Speaker 2: Of this what and that's not how that works. Like
Speaker 2: friends of benefits is like somebody you already.
Speaker 4: Know, and then you're like, Okay, maybe on the side
Speaker 4: we'll hook up because I'm in a dry spell.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think that's why he was insinuating. He wanted
Speaker 6: things to be that way, and I'm not anyone side.
Speaker 2: He didn't call him back. At least he was honest
Speaker 2: with you.
Speaker 1: There's some sort of miscommunication here. Either Dennis isn't telling
Speaker 1: the truth or she misheard something. So let's just get
Speaker 1: Dennis on the phone right now, because Stephanie, I need
Speaker 1: to tell you he's been there the entire time listening.
Speaker 3: Stephanie.
Speaker 6: Oh wow, okay, are you say, Oh.
Speaker 3: My goodness, I have such an apology to make to you.
Speaker 3: Is good. You heard what I said, but that's not
Speaker 3: at all what I meant. Oh, I said to you
Speaker 3: friends with benefits. I meant the fact that you have
Speaker 3: a great job and you have medical benefits.
Speaker 2: Shut really shut up.
Speaker 3: The last girl I was with, part of the reason
Speaker 3: why we ended up going separate ways is because she
Speaker 3: didn't have any and she only wanted to be with
Speaker 3: me because she thought I could get her benefits.
Speaker 1: That you're telling me that you didn't know what friends
Speaker 1: with benefits meant.
Speaker 3: I'm talking about benefits a movie. I don't know nothing
Speaker 3: about that stuff.
Speaker 1: Okay, are you understanding what it means?
Speaker 3: Like now now I understand why she felt the way
Speaker 3: she felt.
Speaker 2: Also told that you just wanted to hook up.
Speaker 4: What you said, hook up buddy or something like that, Right, Stephanie,
Speaker 4: isn't that what he said?
Speaker 6: He said he wanted friends with benefits, and I guess
Speaker 6: I assumed he meant a hook up, buddy.
Speaker 1: That's what it is. Yeah, right, buddy was dental? Well,
Speaker 1: I mean it sounds like you guys just didn't understand
Speaker 1: what each other were saying, and you're actually looking for
Speaker 1: the same thing, dude, And he messed up on a
Speaker 1: bunch of phrases with us before she even got on
Speaker 1: the phone. It's true, like Stephanie, he did. He told
Speaker 1: us that he hooked up with you when you guys
Speaker 1: first met, when you just linked up.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've been saying the wrong thing the whole time,
Speaker 3: But you guys can tell I don't know what I'm
Speaker 3: talking about.
Speaker 2: Yes, I mean, Dennis, are you like a arp like broo?
Speaker 3: I No, I've just I've just been out of the loop.
Speaker 3: I don't have a lot of young people around me,
Speaker 3: And what do you want me to do? Watch him TV?
Speaker 1: And then nobody watch.
Speaker 4: People watching TV watching what I know, get a TikTok account.
Speaker 2: Okay, I mean.
Speaker 3: What I gotta watch, Stephanie, I mean I gotta watch.
Speaker 1: You can hear Dennis. He sounds like a pretty nice,
Speaker 1: genuine guy. He needs a little bit of updating in
Speaker 1: terms of dating terminology. But we'd like to send you
Speaker 1: out on another date and maybe you can help teach
Speaker 1: him some of those things and we'll pay for the date.
Speaker 2: No, it sounds like fun.
Speaker 3: Stephany will you Stepanie? Will you go with me?
Speaker 6: It's a misunderstanding. Will go out? It'll be great.
Speaker 1: That's good.
Speaker 3: So see now I have a true friend with benefits.
Speaker 1: No, I'm just make sure you go to the Urban
Speaker 1: Dictionary before you go on this day. Okay, Dennis, look
Speaker 1: up Mexican.
Speaker 2: No freaking Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 1: I feel kind of happy for Dennis. You know, he's
Speaker 1: a he's a likable guy. Sure kind of stuck in
Speaker 1: a time warp and apparently hasn't watched TV or listen
Speaker 1: to radio or watched the news.
Speaker 4: In thirty years, participated in society.
Speaker 1: Even because he doesn't know anything.
Speaker 2: Even would know what friends with benefits met.
Speaker 1: But isn't that kind of a good thing, Like you
Speaker 1: get the chance to be with a guy who's basically a.
Speaker 2: Baby That sounds terrible.
Speaker 1: He's pure, he's untouched, unworn to dating. Now, I'm just
Speaker 1: saying like he's not scarred and it is not jaded
Speaker 1: by the dating. He's not going on you how literally yeah.
Speaker 2: Accidentally, I guess exactly.
Speaker 4: Or he's just gonna claim dumb every time he gets
Speaker 4: caught doing something wrong.
Speaker 1: It's hard to argue against jaded. Yeah, you're one of
Speaker 1: the jaded ones. You don't believe them.
Speaker 2: You don't want a baby man. I want a man man,
Speaker 2: not a baby man.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you want one that's been with thousands and thousands.
Speaker 5: He's got paperwork that checks out things are still good.
Speaker 1: But texting to seven eight, five nine to tell us
Speaker 1: if you think these two are gonna make it, that's
Speaker 1: a good sound coming from yah. I remember if you
Speaker 1: ever want to get a second date up that you
Speaker 1: can always email our show. We can call the person
Speaker 1: who wasn't calling you back.
Speaker 2: Brook and Jeffrey in the morning,
