Speaker 1: The second. It's funny.
Speaker 2: People in dating apps are just like Goldilocks and the
Speaker 2: Three Bears. Some people are very hot and use them
Speaker 2: all the time, like most of the kids in the
Speaker 2: promo department here. Others they're a little more medium, like
Speaker 2: someone in this room who only goes on when her
Speaker 2: husband's out of town.
Speaker 1: And I just said someone.
Speaker 3: I guess medium is a compliment coming from you.
Speaker 2: And some are very very new to it, like one
Speaker 2: of our listeners, Mary Anne, who said she's just dipping
Speaker 2: her toe into the online dating scene. Mary Anne, you
Speaker 2: haven't matched with Jose or anybody yet.
Speaker 4: No, not yet.
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm shocked, you kids. I put my zip code
Speaker 3: to every zip code.
Speaker 1: What's it like jumping into the online dating scene.
Speaker 4: It's interesting.
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 4: I'm a little cautious about it. I guess you should be.
Speaker 1: That's a good way to do it.
Speaker 3: Your attitude sounds good, though, like you look like your hope.
Speaker 3: You sound hopeful.
Speaker 1: How are you cautious with online dating?
Speaker 4: Well, I'm a teacher of like younger kids, or like
Speaker 4: I just I don't want the parents to find me.
Speaker 4: I don't want like any weird pictures of me out
Speaker 4: there you know, to make anything awkward. So I only
Speaker 4: really have like a few pictures in my profile, and
Speaker 4: like a couple of them I'm like wearing sunglasses. So
Speaker 4: it's just there's nothing crazy there.
Speaker 1: It's like you're a celebrity.
Speaker 6: It's like you're so like toy of I mean, but
Speaker 6: seriously though, like my kids, teachers are very edited on
Speaker 6: their social Media's interesting, the.
Speaker 2: Book has seen their dating profiles pages.
Speaker 1: Whatever you want to say.
Speaker 2: But I couldn't even tell you only posted two photos
Speaker 2: on here?
Speaker 1: What a te Okay, what Marianna? So who did you
Speaker 1: match with online?
Speaker 4: So not a lot of people actually, So I actually
Speaker 4: only go by one initial. I just go by M
Speaker 4: for Mary Anne.
Speaker 3: Okay, which may make people more cautious about you. I mean, yeah, backfire,
Speaker 3: is that true, marian Yeah?
Speaker 4: No, I really don't get like a lot of messages.
Speaker 1: So who is brave enough to swipe right on you?
Speaker 4: So I did? Finally the sky Cordon actually reached out
Speaker 4: to me.
Speaker 1: Gordon masculine name.
Speaker 3: It is masculine, very masculine.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I had a pet lizard.
Speaker 1: Named I bet that lizard had a six pat lizards.
Speaker 6: Masculine pets what's Gordon?
Speaker 4: Like? He's really nice. It was just nice. He was
Speaker 4: one of the few people that actually wanted to get
Speaker 4: to know me and talk to me and like actually
Speaker 4: go out in real life, not just you know, message
Speaker 4: me online.
Speaker 3: Okay, what did it feel like going into an actual date?
Speaker 4: I mean I was a little nervous, but I mean
Speaker 4: I was hopeful. I was excited. He seemed really nice.
Speaker 4: So we were going to go to a music festival.
Speaker 4: We decided, Oh that's cute. Yeah, yeah, it was his pick.
Speaker 4: I didn't really know a lot of the bands, but
Speaker 4: you know, I tried to listen and like get to
Speaker 4: know some of them before we went. And there's a
Speaker 4: couple that are.
Speaker 6: Pretty good three songs from somebody's YouTube channels, just to
Speaker 6: make sure to participate.
Speaker 1: Did it turned out to be fun?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 4: It was fun. He's here a positive attitude and he's
Speaker 4: like no pressure, like you know, and I just I
Speaker 4: liked being around him, honestly.
Speaker 3: Like, so it sounds like it turned out even better
Speaker 3: than you expected.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was actually like worried for nothing. But when
Speaker 4: we went to leave, like it was getting late and
Speaker 4: so like we made sure to head out, but I noticed,
Speaker 4: like once we got closted like the exit I did
Speaker 4: on my phone. Oh no, and I was like, oh
Speaker 4: my god, like I lost my phone somewhere.
Speaker 1: And what a nightmare.
Speaker 4: So he also looked for it, and he eventually found
Speaker 4: it under these like tables where you could like stand
Speaker 4: around and drink.
Speaker 3: Oh my god. So he's nice an he's a hero.
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly like everything.
Speaker 2: Did you give him a big kiss as a thank you?
Speaker 4: Get to it?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 1: Okay, sorry to jump forward.
Speaker 4: Anyway. So he takes me home and we just have
Speaker 4: a good night hug. Actually weird, you.
Speaker 6: Sound so cute and giggly about it, though I love it.
Speaker 6: It was it felt good, it felt right.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I thought we clicked and like, I don't know,
Speaker 4: I'm surprised we aren't going out again. Like I texted
Speaker 4: him being like I really enjoyed seeing you, Like I
Speaker 4: got a lot of fun, Like I love to hang
Speaker 4: out again, Like I was really looking forward to, like,
Speaker 4: you know, hanging out with him again.
Speaker 3: It's like a long hug or was it like a
Speaker 3: quick like I want to know, hands.
Speaker 1: Rubbing your back.
Speaker 4: It wasn't. Yeah, I mean it wasn't like a side
Speaker 4: church hug. I mean like there was, you know, it
Speaker 4: was like a full hog.
Speaker 3: Okay, wait, you haven't heard from him at all?
Speaker 4: No, and I don't know what to do. It's weird hopeful,
Speaker 4: and now I'm like, I'm bad.
Speaker 1: I'm still caught up on a church hug.
Speaker 2: Because the hugs that I've had from people in church,
Speaker 2: they go, they get pretty intense.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you, wow, but God, bless you, bless you.
Speaker 2: I've had therapy from some of those church. So it's
Speaker 2: been how long since? I don't know, people do it different.
Speaker 2: So so how long has it been since you and
Speaker 2: Gordon hung out?
Speaker 4: It was a few weeks ago.
Speaker 3: Now, okay, so you've waited. Wait now you have your
Speaker 3: phone back. Have you guys been texting since then?
Speaker 4: Not really. I've tried to get him to hang out,
Speaker 4: but he's not really super responsive.
Speaker 6: I guess we need this to work out because it's
Speaker 6: like your first time in online dating and it's going
Speaker 6: to be bad.
Speaker 3: That's pretty typical, I know.
Speaker 2: And you had fun like normally it's like, oh my god,
Speaker 2: I'm never gonna online.
Speaker 4: Again like you had to experience.
Speaker 1: They want you to have another date.
Speaker 2: I will want more church hugs for you, so we'll
Speaker 2: try and get some of that done. When we play
Speaker 2: a song, come back and call Gordon and try and
Speaker 2: get your second date update right after this.
Speaker 4: Okay, cool, thank you.
Speaker 2: Hold on, Maryanne the school teacher is on the phone
Speaker 2: with us for a second date.
Speaker 3: And she just sounds so innocent when you say that.
Speaker 1: She does.
Speaker 2: And her very first online dating experience went just about
Speaker 2: as well as it possibly could because she went to
Speaker 2: a music festival, lost her phone but found it before
Speaker 2: they left, and ended the night with a steamy church hug.
Speaker 3: Jeff that it was better than.
Speaker 1: That church or not.
Speaker 2: God was watching and God was liking. But now it's
Speaker 2: been weeks and her date Gordon has been kind of distant,
Speaker 2: and I know Brooke was surprised that Marianne left a
Speaker 2: music festival with her top still on.
Speaker 3: I mean, everybody has different vibes.
Speaker 2: Alexis was shocked that she remembered the music festival of
Speaker 2: all at all. Yeah, but we're going to do our
Speaker 2: best here. How are you feeling, Marianne, I'm feeling Okay.
Speaker 6: You're brave because not only were you trying dating apps
Speaker 6: for the first time, you're reaching out to.
Speaker 3: Us to help like this. This is this is a
Speaker 3: broad move your phone. Very traumatic experience.
Speaker 2: Some would say that you're at an all time low
Speaker 2: being on the show with us, but that that only
Speaker 2: the only way we could go from here is up.
Speaker 6: Okay, back for its compliments, kind of see that.
Speaker 1: Okay, I thought that was a positive thing to say.
Speaker 3: It's interesting.
Speaker 1: I'll apologize with a church hug to you.
Speaker 3: Okay, Mary, don't take Jeff's church hugs.
Speaker 4: I think I'll pass. We should just call him a
Speaker 4: good idea your loss.
Speaker 1: But let's just do that. We're gonna call Gordon right
Speaker 1: now here we go. Hello, Hello, is this Gordon?
Speaker 5: This is Gordon? Who's this?
Speaker 1: Sorry? Did we call you in the bathroom or something?
Speaker 1: I wait over there?
Speaker 3: Are you wanting that to be the truth?
Speaker 1: I didn't want to interrupt you.
Speaker 5: No, I'm good.
Speaker 4: Who am I talking to?
Speaker 5: Who is this?
Speaker 1: You're talking to?
Speaker 2: Esteemed radio host Jeffrey Dubou from award winning morning Showbrook
Speaker 2: and Jeffrey in the Morning. Yes, why great question we're
Speaker 2: calling to Did we.
Speaker 3: Win the award because our mom's made us one?
Speaker 2: No, we're calling because we're doing a segment called a
Speaker 2: second Date Update, hoping to get some answers for one
Speaker 2: of our listeners named mary Anne. You remember going out
Speaker 2: with Marianna a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I remember that.
Speaker 3: Yes I did not.
Speaker 6: I'm sorry, Gordon to interrupt, but I didn't expect that
Speaker 6: type of reaction. She sounds bubbly and lovely and she's
Speaker 6: a school teacher.
Speaker 5: That's that's what she says.
Speaker 2: I guess, Oh wow, you're clearly not very fond of Marianne.
Speaker 1: But she felt like the date with you went really well?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Did you have fun at the music festival?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 5: I had fun at the music festival. It started out fun,
Speaker 5: it started out great.
Speaker 1: Well, okay, what's going on? What's with the coldness?
Speaker 5: I mean, I don't know. I don't know what she
Speaker 5: told you guys, but she she lost her phone at
Speaker 5: one point, and you know, I was trying to help
Speaker 5: her find it.
Speaker 3: That is hate irresponsible people. Is that what you're saying?
Speaker 5: Well, I wound up actually finding her phone.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you were, you were her hero, that was what
Speaker 1: she said.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Well, I when I picked up her phone, her home
Speaker 5: screen came on and what I saw kind of broke me.
Speaker 3: WHOA, ok you what she's a school teacher. I can't
Speaker 3: imagine it being.
Speaker 5: I don't know how I have to say it. When
Speaker 5: I looked at her screen, it was a picture of
Speaker 5: her kissing another guy.
Speaker 1: What kind of guy?
Speaker 3: That doesn't matter?
Speaker 1: Like her father.
Speaker 5: Maybe it definitely was not the way you kiss your father.
Speaker 1: I don't know. You don't know how I kiss my father.
Speaker 1: So how dare you jump to that sort of conclusion?
Speaker 6: I mean, that could have been, like I don't know,
Speaker 6: we didn't get her last relationship status, Like maybe she
Speaker 6: just broke up with somebody.
Speaker 3: Maybe she's there could be other reason the photo.
Speaker 1: You're on a date with somebody else.
Speaker 5: I don't know. I mean, it kind of all started
Speaker 5: to make sense to me.
Speaker 1: What what do you mean?
Speaker 2: I'm not what do you what's going on in your
Speaker 2: mind when you see that picture?
Speaker 5: I mean, her her profile is just m and all
Speaker 5: of her photos are her with sunglasses on. And then
Speaker 5: I see this and it snapped in the clear focus
Speaker 5: for me. She's she's cheated.
Speaker 6: She acted so innocent, like she she.
Speaker 3: Totally played up the innocent school teacher.
Speaker 6: And I mean she told us that she just did
Speaker 6: m and the sunglasses and stuff because she didn't want
Speaker 6: parents of her students to find her.
Speaker 5: Yeah, she told me the same thing.
Speaker 2: WHOA, okay, your stances. You're not cool with her cheating.
Speaker 1: That's always like two steps. I just want to be clear.
Speaker 6: Why didn't you Why didn't you address her when you
Speaker 6: saw the phone and you picked it up and handed
Speaker 6: it back to her, Why didn't you say something?
Speaker 5: I just, honestly, I wanted nothing to do with her
Speaker 5: at that point.
Speaker 2: I guess that makes sense. Why at the end there
Speaker 2: was no kiss? Yeah, just a church hug.
Speaker 5: That's what you call church hug? Sure, yeah, it was.
Speaker 1: We don't know what to call it at this point.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Okay, that's all I mean.
Speaker 2: I guess I'd be surprised if she was still there
Speaker 2: on the line after this whole thing.
Speaker 3: But why would she call us if she was cheating?
Speaker 1: I don't know what.
Speaker 2: Let's ask Mary Anne, because she's been listening to this
Speaker 2: the entire time, Gordon, Mary Anne. What, Yeah, she's been
Speaker 2: there the whole time.
Speaker 4: Mary You there, Yeah, I'm here, Mary Anne?
Speaker 1: What do you have to say? I mean, this is it's.
Speaker 4: Not what you think.
Speaker 7: Yeah, what do you mean?
Speaker 2: You had you had a picture of you kissing another
Speaker 2: guy on your phone screen?
Speaker 4: Yeah? That that was my husband. He passed away last year,
Speaker 4: and I just have a memory of him on my phone.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, you were.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm sorry.
Speaker 4: I didn't know you well enough yet to really talk
Speaker 4: about it, so I didn't want to bring it up
Speaker 4: on our first date.
Speaker 3: You know, Are you okay?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 4: I mean I am honestly a little taken aback just
Speaker 4: listening to what you said and jumping so soon to
Speaker 4: conclusions about me with that, you could have just confronted me.
Speaker 2: That night, Gordon, mean, how do you feel right now?
Speaker 2: You must kind of feel like a boob?
Speaker 5: I mean, right now, I'm really sorry to hear that.
Speaker 5: I just I've been down this road before, and so
Speaker 5: I didn't think. I didn't think. I feel like I
Speaker 5: had it all figured out already.
Speaker 3: Yeah, hopefully his whole heartbreaking.
Speaker 2: Yeah sides, though, I feel like the understanding needs to
Speaker 2: be there.
Speaker 6: Like and I mean, Marianne, he's obviously been on dating
Speaker 6: apps a lot longer because he's jaded and jumps to conclusions.
Speaker 3: Which is what we did when he explained it.
Speaker 6: I mean, when you connect that to just your m
Speaker 6: profile and everything and that secrecy.
Speaker 3: It makes sense.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, we didn't know you lost your husband, like
Speaker 6: I mean, yeah.
Speaker 2: But if the good news is if Marianne is on
Speaker 2: the dating apps, it must mean that she's feeling ready
Speaker 2: to put herself back out there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so that's encouraging.
Speaker 4: It took me a while, but I mean, yeah, I
Speaker 4: finally did it.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 6: I mean it makes sense why it's your first time
Speaker 6: ever on dating apps because you were married.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Brooke doesn't play by the same rules as that,
Speaker 2: But that's.
Speaker 1: Good for you.
Speaker 3: Oh man, that's hard. But wow, I'm glad we got closure.
Speaker 1: A little clarity in this situation.
Speaker 2: And Gordon, now that you know that she's not cheating
Speaker 2: and what the situation is, we'd like to offer to
Speaker 2: send the two of you out on another date, and
Speaker 2: we would pay for it.
Speaker 5: I do feel terrible about the assumption, and obviously about
Speaker 5: what happened to your husband and to you, and.
Speaker 1: Other than that, nothing else bad happened. Correct.
Speaker 3: You guys are really cute.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I honestly really did have a good time on
Speaker 5: the date, and until I saw that total, I would
Speaker 5: be open to it.
Speaker 2: If you are, okay, that is fair because based on
Speaker 2: this I don't know that Marianne is still interested.
Speaker 1: Marianne, and are you willing to give him another chance
Speaker 1: after he jumped to conclusions, I'll.
Speaker 4: Give another shot. We can talk it out. We'll see
Speaker 4: where we get from there. I guess all right.
Speaker 3: So it sounds she's the most brilliant ever.
Speaker 1: No, I'm kidding. I'm happy for you guys.
Speaker 2: It sounds like we're sending you out on another day.
Speaker 1: Congratulations you two.
Speaker 5: Thank you.
Speaker 1: Jeff Church.
Speaker 2: I don't know about that, but we could celebrate by
Speaker 2: ending this with an entire show church hugg Yeah, if
Speaker 2: everybody bring it in close.
Speaker 3: It off to your church, Jeff.
Speaker 1: Looking Jeffrey in the morning man.
Speaker 2: Legit tears coming from the text board from a lot
Speaker 2: of people who are all pulling for Charlotte and her
Speaker 2: love story.
Speaker 3: I mean, it was beautiful.
Speaker 6: God, this is a couple that I definitely hope that
Speaker 6: we get an update from, even if it doesn't work out.
Speaker 3: I just want to hear that everybody's doing okay.
Speaker 4: Still.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and obviously she didn't go into much detail about
Speaker 2: what happened with the passing of her late husband because
Speaker 2: we didn't want to pry into that.
Speaker 6: Good work, team, Well, why would you ask that?
Speaker 3: On your mind? Just want to know what is a
Speaker 3: true crime.
Speaker 7: Podcast I'm giving us props for not going there, That's
Speaker 7: what I'm saying. But you do have to you have
Speaker 7: to give her credit for being courageous and being brave,
Speaker 7: not just by putting herself out in the dating world again,
Speaker 7: but also staying on the phone while this guy accuses
Speaker 7: her of cheating.
Speaker 3: For sure, that must have been so emotionous for her.
Speaker 1: One of the most intense cases of like assuming.
Speaker 6: Is never a good Either that or she's on the
Speaker 6: other line thinking, oh my god, this idiot, you know, he.
Speaker 5: Felt bad after.
Speaker 1: Maybe it's a good rule of thumb.
Speaker 2: If you ever see somebody else with a phone screen
Speaker 2: picture of I'm kissing somebody, just assume that it's a
Speaker 2: relative that's passed away.
Speaker 1: I don't even know that.
Speaker 3: That's really that's not the lesson. Yeah, maybe just no
Speaker 3: mora open communication.
Speaker 1: Yeah, different lessons apparently. But here's a good lesson.
Speaker 2: If you ever want to get in touch with somebody
Speaker 2: that you went on a date with that's not calling
Speaker 2: you back, you can email the show and we'll call
Speaker 2: that person.
Speaker 3: Yeastick to that.
Speaker 1: That's a good lesson anyway. It's Brook and Jeffrey in
Speaker 1: the morning.
Speaker 3: Brook and Jeffrey in the morning,
