Speaker 4: Not a problem we never got to talk about in
Speaker 4: the awkward Tuesday the girl who got caught at the
Speaker 4: library doing things?
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 4: I just I forgot to look at the comments on
Speaker 4: that episode, and there was fen Bay. I think I
Speaker 4: should visit the library more often. Didn't know girls would
Speaker 4: be that freaky there other people. I knew the minute
Speaker 4: she said at the library, it was going to see
Speaker 4: be something freaky. These book readers are getting crazy, I
Speaker 4: will say.
Speaker 1: Every time I've gone to the library lately, it's been packed. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean books are in.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I thought people were there to read, but apparently no,
Speaker 1: you know.
Speaker 3: Okay Kiple, you thought that bar gosh, I'm doing it wrong.
Speaker 3: All right, here's your Valentine's Day edition of Your Second
Speaker 3: did update.
Speaker 6: Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning. Second Date updates.
Speaker 2: Sometimes it takes a bold move to make a first
Speaker 2: date really stand out. Oh okay, what that means going
Speaker 2: in for the kiss right when you meet your parents
Speaker 2: along with you, or giving them your car at the
Speaker 2: end of the night. It's a little thank you gift
Speaker 2: for meeting up.
Speaker 1: Signed the title over to you.
Speaker 2: Another bold move is to have your first date during
Speaker 2: the most romantic holiday of the year, my Valentine. That's
Speaker 2: what happened for one of our listeners, Melissa, who now
Speaker 2: needs our help on Valentine's Day. So, Melissa, welcome to
Speaker 2: the show.
Speaker 1: Hi, I'm so curious. Who would ask you out on
Speaker 1: a first date around this time?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 7: Well, it was this guyman online. Actually all right, it's.
Speaker 2: Gonna sound silly. Did he hit any way safe? I
Speaker 2: don't like you like that?
Speaker 1: But see, I feel like he probably just forgot that
Speaker 1: it was the holiday. I mean, he's a that's a
Speaker 1: classic guy.
Speaker 2: Go do a lot of like complicated question. Let's start
Speaker 2: with an easy one. Does he have a name?
Speaker 7: There is, Yes, his name is John.
Speaker 2: Tell us about tell Us about the easy John.
Speaker 7: He's really nice, He's so cute. Okay, I just thought
Speaker 7: he was like a perfect gentleman.
Speaker 1: Oh really, what did he do that? Was so gentlemanly.
Speaker 7: Okay, well, he definitely knew that it was Valentine's weekend
Speaker 7: and he went above and beyond. Oh, booked this really
Speaker 7: nice restaurant.
Speaker 2: So he didn't shy away from it. He was like,
Speaker 2: I want to take you on a Valentine's date on
Speaker 2: Valentine's weekend proper totally.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Okay, So how did it go?
Speaker 7: Well, so we get to the restaurant, but it is
Speaker 7: so busy.
Speaker 1: Oh did he have reservations?
Speaker 7: Yes, he made a reservation.
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, wow.
Speaker 2: Man, a nice restaurant like reservations on Valentine's weekend. It's
Speaker 2: very romantic, but it could put a lot of pressure
Speaker 2: on both of them going into that day. Did you
Speaker 2: feel that pressure energy at all?
Speaker 7: I felt pressure going into it, but then once I
Speaker 7: got there, he made me so comfortable.
Speaker 1: Oh we did. Yeah.
Speaker 2: How was it?
Speaker 7: Like?
Speaker 2: Did you have a good time with him?
Speaker 7: I had a good time? Like no, no, no, I really
Speaker 7: liked Tips. It was just that the atmosphere was so
Speaker 7: insane and hectic, like we get seed at our table,
Speaker 7: we get our orders in, our food comes out, and
Speaker 7: we noticed there's only one fork, like the waiter's so
Speaker 7: busy we have, but they never bring in another fork.
Speaker 7: So we're like, okay, I guess we share it?
Speaker 1: Did you? Did you share it for?
Speaker 7: We tried to share the fork, but that just like
Speaker 7: took too long because then each person was waiting for
Speaker 7: the other person.
Speaker 2: Seriously, you would take a bite from the fork and
Speaker 2: then you'd pass the fork over to John, and then
Speaker 2: he would take a bite from his meal. Well, you
Speaker 2: can't make it like wait for one to finish. The
Speaker 2: other person's gonna get cold.
Speaker 1: He's a real gentleman, he'd wait for event gentleman. He
Speaker 1: just go in the back like I do and steal
Speaker 1: a fork.
Speaker 2: Station about this, I mean all the joking aside. Isn't
Speaker 2: that like a weird way to go about your first
Speaker 2: date sharing utensils?
Speaker 7: Yes, but it was like sort of we had a
Speaker 7: laugh about it. I switched over to a spoon. It
Speaker 7: kind of made it a little bit and made it
Speaker 7: low stakes because we were like, this is crazy, right.
Speaker 1: So he cut up your meat for you and then
Speaker 1: you spooned it into your mouth.
Speaker 2: All right, let's get past the fork sharing. What what
Speaker 2: other highlights happened during your restaurant date?
Speaker 7: Okay, so this is where it got a little bit weird,
Speaker 7: a weirder. We're finishing up our main course, and then
Speaker 7: the host of the restaurant comes over and asked if
Speaker 7: he could speak to John, like away from the table.
Speaker 1: What that's weird.
Speaker 7: John goes over, has this long conversation. I could see
Speaker 7: them talking. It looks like a little bit heated.
Speaker 5: I couldn't hear what.
Speaker 1: It's a little animated.
Speaker 7: It lasted like five minutes. It's kind of long for you.
Speaker 2: Is the host a male or a female? A guy? Okay?
Speaker 2: I was wondering if it maybe was an ex or something.
Speaker 1: That's okay, not an ex. So what happened?
Speaker 7: Well, okay, so when John comes back from the conversation,
Speaker 7: he was like really upset and he was like, screw this,
Speaker 7: We're leaving. The host chases after and is like, you
Speaker 7: still have to pay? Like I'm in the middle of it.
Speaker 7: I'm confuseding like what's happening?
Speaker 2: So you'reing, well, it sounds like they're being kicked out
Speaker 2: of the restaurant, not dashing. They're like, you have to pay,
Speaker 2: but hey, they're kicking me out of a restaurant. I'm
Speaker 2: not paying either. Yeah, what happened?
Speaker 7: Well, John told me to go out and like wait
Speaker 7: in the car and that he would deal with it,
Speaker 7: and he pays, he settles up. Okay, So when we're
Speaker 7: on the car right home, I'm asking, like, what just
Speaker 7: happened the crazy Apparently the host told John that we
Speaker 7: were taking too long for our meal and there was
Speaker 7: an hour limit.
Speaker 2: Oh they do that sometimes. Yeah, didn't John say it
Speaker 2: only took so long because we had to share one
Speaker 2: fork passing it back and forth.
Speaker 7: Probably that was probably, I mean, and I was supportive.
Speaker 7: John was like really upset about it, and I was like,
Speaker 7: I honestly too, that's ridiculous time on your day.
Speaker 2: Well that sucks. That puts like definitely a sour taste
Speaker 2: at the very end of the day. Were you able
Speaker 2: to end it on a happy note?
Speaker 7: Yeah? I mean I he took me home again. He
Speaker 7: was a perfect gentleman, walk me to the door that
Speaker 7: he would call we should do it again? Really, so
Speaker 7: he apologized for the restaurant thing, even though I could
Speaker 7: tell he was still sort of heated by it and
Speaker 7: it wasn't his fault.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, so you haven't heard anything from him
Speaker 3: since this weekend?
Speaker 1: No, does that feel like I don't know. Maybe he's busy.
Speaker 4: It's weird to do a whole Valentine's DA date and
Speaker 4: then not text on Valentine's Day.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that build up and nothing embarrassed. Or maybe he
Speaker 2: only has one cell phone that he shares with his
Speaker 2: roommate back and forth, and so his roommate has the
Speaker 2: cell phone this week. Yeah, so I don't know. There
Speaker 2: must be an explanation. We're going to call the number
Speaker 2: that you gave us, hopefully it's John, and we'll try
Speaker 2: and get you your second date update right after this.
Speaker 2: All right, all right, all right, hold.
Speaker 6: On Brook and Jeffrey in the morning. Second date update.
Speaker 2: Two Meals, one spoon should be the title of our
Speaker 2: second date today.
Speaker 3: Man, you still shouldn't look that up on the internet.
Speaker 2: Well, because our listener Melissa went on a Valentine's date
Speaker 2: on the busiest weekend of the year, with couples packed
Speaker 2: into nice restaurants. Their waiter was too busy to give
Speaker 2: them another fork. Sorry, so I said fork before, But
Speaker 2: so they just shared one, which it's a little awkward
Speaker 2: to do on a first.
Speaker 1: Date and for a long meal.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it does sound like it helped break the
Speaker 2: tension of having a pressure filled first date on a
Speaker 2: holiday like and they.
Speaker 1: Actually got to taste each other's food.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 2: The weird part though, was when the host came over
Speaker 2: to the table during dinner, pulled her date John aside,
Speaker 2: and they got into a heated conversation which Melissa couldn't hear.
Speaker 2: All of it led to John saying, though, screw it,
Speaker 2: We're gonna leave.
Speaker 3: Dude.
Speaker 1: They basically got kicked out of the restaurant.
Speaker 2: It's super often. Yeah, a lot of questions about that,
Speaker 2: but apparently they were there for too long and the
Speaker 2: restaurant was trying to turn as many tables as they
Speaker 2: could that night.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, so rude.
Speaker 2: So yeah, almost ended in disaster. I mean it did, Melissa.
Speaker 6: Do you think?
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe John's just embarrassed that that situation happened on
Speaker 2: the first date.
Speaker 7: Maybe I was also I was trying to think of
Speaker 7: anything else weird happened. And I do remember that he
Speaker 7: wanted to get to the restaurant early and I.
Speaker 8: Was like a little bit late getting ready.
Speaker 1: Oh and he get you up right, like you guys
Speaker 1: were in the same car.
Speaker 7: Yeah, he picked me up Okay, too late.
Speaker 2: Oh, so you're part of the reason that maybe the reservation.
Speaker 1: Yep, yep got shifted.
Speaker 2: Yeah okay, but if they only have you blocked out
Speaker 2: for like an hour of eating, and you arrived twenty
Speaker 2: minutes after your hour, like they might run.
Speaker 1: Have you ever dated a woman like? Are we ever
Speaker 1: on time?
Speaker 3: I mean, come on, oh, you should pat it into
Speaker 3: the reservation.
Speaker 2: I don't know how I'm apologizing for this, but yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
Speaker 3: Thank you.
Speaker 2: Before you even get a kay, I would put myself
Speaker 2: in choose. I don't think I would want to call
Speaker 2: her back to really so embarrassed. You have all these expectations,
Speaker 2: and now you're never gonna You're always gonna remember the
Speaker 2: first day, yelling, storming out of the restaurant.
Speaker 1: We're gonna save this, Valancie.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can see if he is we're gonna save it,
Speaker 2: or we're gonna blame John for not understanding what women
Speaker 2: are really there is there will make him say I'm
Speaker 2: sorry right when he gets on the phone.
Speaker 1: It felt good when you said, do you feel.
Speaker 2: Good about that? Melissa?
Speaker 7: Yeah? I just want some answer.
Speaker 2: All right, let's get those I'm a child's number right
Speaker 2: now here we go. Hello, Hey, we're looking for John.
Speaker 7: This is John and John May.
Speaker 2: My name is jeff from a radio show called Brook
Speaker 2: and Jeffrey in the Morning. Hey, John, sorry for how
Speaker 2: seductively my host tried to say that to you. But John,
Speaker 2: it is Valentine's Day after all.
Speaker 1: Dear John. Okay, John, it's just.
Speaker 2: A Yeah, we're kind of a wacky fun show and
Speaker 2: we do this wacky segment called second Date Update.
Speaker 5: Okay, and we're.
Speaker 2: Trying to help one of our listeners get back in
Speaker 2: touch with you after you went on a date with
Speaker 2: her named Melissa.
Speaker 7: Oh Man.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we heard, we heard.
Speaker 3: I thought bold move on your part for going on
Speaker 3: a first date on Valentine's Day weekend and like leaning
Speaker 3: into it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a big deal.
Speaker 7: Dude.
Speaker 5: Melissa called you.
Speaker 2: She emailed us, and we reached out to her to
Speaker 2: find out about how you two met and what you
Speaker 2: guys did on your date. So we have a few
Speaker 2: of the details. The information we're looking to get from you, though,
Speaker 2: is why you're not reaching out to her after the date.
Speaker 2: She says, it's been a few days and got nothing.
Speaker 5: Oh Man, because this is very embarrassing. You know, I
Speaker 5: want to call her, and I know I know I
Speaker 5: need to call her, but I've just been putting it
Speaker 5: off because it's such an uncomfortable conversation.
Speaker 2: You weren't physically attracted to her? No, No, it was
Speaker 2: a bad guess. Sorry, I get three bad guesses. We
Speaker 2: all get three bad guesses. That's my first strike. What
Speaker 2: were you embarrassed about?
Speaker 5: So I was really nervous about the date, and so
Speaker 5: I really wanted it to be a good experience for her.
Speaker 5: But I waited too long to get dinners, and there
Speaker 5: was no restaurants open, you know that had anything open
Speaker 5: for me?
Speaker 1: Wait?
Speaker 3: She said that you had reservations and that you guys
Speaker 3: went to this fancy restaurant.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, well I might have done something a little weird
Speaker 5: what I don't know if she told you. But so
Speaker 5: at the restaurant, the way put me aside. Yeah, I
Speaker 5: had like a he had like a little conversation with me.
Speaker 2: Yes, she was mentioning that it got kind of heated
Speaker 2: between you and the host, but she couldn't hear what
Speaker 2: was happening.
Speaker 5: Yeah, So basically what happened was the host he pulled
Speaker 5: me aside and he was like, are you John, And
Speaker 5: you know I told him that I was okay. But
Speaker 5: so what happened? Was the actual John showed up?
Speaker 3: Wait? Wait, wait what you took someone else's reservation that
Speaker 3: was also named John?
Speaker 5: Yeah? I did.
Speaker 6: How did you know there.
Speaker 1: Was another John there?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Did you just go table for two for John?
Speaker 2: What about Tom? What about Sarah? I met Kurt? How
Speaker 2: did this happen?
Speaker 5: So the day before, me and my friend went to
Speaker 5: the restaurant and I told him to distract the host
Speaker 5: and I went up to the reservation book and I
Speaker 5: looked for another reservation.
Speaker 8: John's brilliant.
Speaker 1: And like it's such a generic name.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I can't tell if I'm flattered that you
Speaker 3: put you You put energy to making sure you had
Speaker 3: a table seriously, And it.
Speaker 2: Makes sense because Melissa was saying you wanted to get
Speaker 2: there early and she was running late.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I thought I could sneak it in there.
Speaker 7: You know.
Speaker 2: Oh my god. Okay, hold on the server and me
Speaker 2: has to ask, was John the table for one?
Speaker 5: Which is why there was only one set of silverware
Speaker 5: on the table? Yeah, that's right, figured it out, okay, John.
Speaker 3: Gosh, well you should have just asked John to join you.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you've been waiting to tell Melissa this.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I guess that's just too embarrassed to let her know.
Speaker 5: I had a great time on the day with her,
Speaker 5: but I just was so ashamed of myself.
Speaker 7: I guess.
Speaker 3: I think it's kind of fun I think that she's
Speaker 3: gonna think it's funny.
Speaker 2: All the women think that it's great that you took
Speaker 2: someone else's reservation and stole it from another honest man.
Speaker 2: But that's okay. I wonder sure, I wonder how Melissa
Speaker 2: would feel about that, though. Who actually is on the
Speaker 2: other line listening to this conversation, dude?
Speaker 5: Oh my, are you kidding me?
Speaker 2: I'm serious? Yeah, she I think she's still there, Melissa,
Speaker 2: you there?
Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm curious.
Speaker 7: That's what happened.
Speaker 5: Oh my god, Hey Melissa.
Speaker 7: Why wouldn't you just tell it?
Speaker 8: Why did you have to make a big thing like
Speaker 8: you made a reservation?
Speaker 7: We could have gone anywhere.
Speaker 5: I know, just we clicked so well, and I just
Speaker 5: wanted to make it special. And you know, I just
Speaker 5: I guess I like you a lot, and.
Speaker 2: When you're starting to vibe with someone online, you don't
Speaker 2: want to lose that momentum and let it go like
Speaker 2: two three weeks till the actual date exactly. You got
Speaker 2: to get face to face as soon as possible.
Speaker 1: Just sounds so understanding. You sound good, right.
Speaker 8: I mean, I guess I do see how much he
Speaker 8: likes me to go through all that trouble.
Speaker 7: That is kind of sleek, yeah.
Speaker 3: But also kind of sketch. That he wasn't going to
Speaker 3: pay the restaurant bills they were leaving.
Speaker 1: Remember that I.
Speaker 5: Was going to pay it, but I just didn't want
Speaker 5: to get busted in front of her, so I just
Speaker 5: had to get out of it.
Speaker 1: How to get her out?
Speaker 2: That's sweet. If he commits crimes or makes mistakes, he
Speaker 2: won't involve you in them.
Speaker 1: That's chivalry. You say it's dead, and it's not just.
Speaker 2: I promise every man should make so because of that,
Speaker 2: I feel the ViBe's going on here. We'd like to
Speaker 2: send you guys out on another date, Melissa that we
Speaker 2: would pay for.
Speaker 1: We can't get reservations for tonight though.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I promised two forks at the table. You
Speaker 2: get your own utensils. What do you think, Melissa?
Speaker 7: You know that is weird that that was happening, and
Speaker 7: I had no idea, but I do think that it is.
Speaker 8: It's actually kind of really nice that you were like
Speaker 8: freaking out so much about it and put all that
Speaker 8: effort in.
Speaker 7: So, yes, I would like to go on another date.
Speaker 1: Love is real.
Speaker 2: Look at that. If you are a little bit dishonest
Speaker 2: on a first date and then admit to your dishonesty
Speaker 2: later on.
Speaker 1: But it's all in the name.
Speaker 6: Of love, Jeffy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's fine.
Speaker 2: As long as you say that. You don't have to
Speaker 2: actually believe you. Just say that it's for love and
Speaker 2: we can get you a successful relationship. Congratulations, guys, Thanks.
Speaker 1: Valid, time's day.
Speaker 2: It's Brook and Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 6: Brook and Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 2: Well, it's official. The hot new first date move is
Speaker 2: stealing someone else's reservation and claiming it for yourself.
Speaker 1: It's romantic.
Speaker 2: Still the right effort is I mean, Brooke, if you
Speaker 2: found out that your husband Michael did that for your
Speaker 2: Valentine State and stole some other couple's table, would you
Speaker 2: would your reaction be all, Michael, you're so conniving and manipulative. Sweet,
Speaker 2: I love you.
Speaker 1: Yes, I would be impressed. I am not even lying.
Speaker 2: Okay, haven't been putting an effort.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we got into a.
Speaker 3: Fight over how he hadn't planned anything, and so he
Speaker 3: did finally play on something right.
Speaker 2: Well, whatever, I just find someone with a generic name
Speaker 2: like Michael at a reservation somewhere. Could be I had a.
Speaker 1: Great date on Saturday night.
Speaker 2: There's like five mad Michael Fox. Well. The lesson that
Speaker 2: we're learning is it's okay to be dishonest on a
Speaker 2: first date as long as it's for a good reason
Speaker 2: or to possibly get some.
Speaker 4: Action benefits from it.
Speaker 3: Yes, as long as the girl comes out on top
Speaker 3: of everybody with I'm so excited for them.
Speaker 1: I was excited for a couple in a long time.
Speaker 2: I feel bad for the original John guy whose reservation
Speaker 2: got stolen.
Speaker 3: But I feel bad that he was eaten by himself
Speaker 3: on Valentine's Day weekend.
Speaker 2: But you know, yeah, pile on anyway he shows up.
Speaker 2: Of course, someone already has team. We promise not to
Speaker 2: pile on to you, though. If you need some help
Speaker 2: with your dating live email the show. We'll call that
Speaker 2: person who's not calling you back and find all of
Speaker 2: our second Date podcast wherever you get yours at Brooke
Speaker 2: and Jeffrey
