Speaker 3: we don't have that often is second date ease. The
Speaker 3: people we call during the segment who don't know who
Speaker 3: we are coming back and asking for our help.
Speaker 1: Because they usually don't have a good experience.
Speaker 3: With people away. But this one in particular was one
Speaker 3: of the most popular that we had on all of
Speaker 3: last year. I'll just play the clip and I think
Speaker 3: most of you will remember. Here's Meghan.
Speaker 4: Oh he doesn't remember. Yeah, okay, I'm not calling him
Speaker 4: back because he ate my goldfish, my.
Speaker 3: Pet, actual fish.
Speaker 4: You my actual swimming fish Cleo gone.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Megan's fish got eight on her dates. So she
Speaker 3: said no to that guy. Not sure why, but she
Speaker 3: did email us back saying that she is now a
Speaker 3: listener to our show regularly and she'd like to request
Speaker 3: our services. So Meg can welcome back to Brook and Jeffery.
Speaker 4: Thank you.
Speaker 5: Hi, guys.
Speaker 1: Please tell me no pets went missing in this latest state.
Speaker 4: I haven't even adopted another pet, so.
Speaker 3: Ye still living with it? Well, apparently there is a
Speaker 3: new man that you met recently. Okay, tell us about
Speaker 3: your date and who it was with, where you went,
Speaker 3: what you ate, why you liked him, how it ended,
Speaker 3: and five things that may or may not have gone wrong.
Speaker 1: You're a conversation.
Speaker 3: Yeah, just get all the questions out of the way,
Speaker 3: all right.
Speaker 4: I went on this date with Mark. Very lucky Mayor
Speaker 4: met Mark where we met at an art gallery.
Speaker 5: Actually awesome.
Speaker 1: Was it like one of those openings where it's like
Speaker 1: a party almost?
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, exactly, Yes, Actually it was cool. So I
Speaker 4: was just checking out this piece of art and this
Speaker 4: cute guy just kind of started talking to me about it,
Speaker 4: and we just kept chatting and walking and we were
Speaker 4: both very spontaneous. So we just went out for a
Speaker 4: very late lunch.
Speaker 1: Okay, this is an evening thing. This is a daytime.
Speaker 4: It's like, oh, I know this spot with all these
Speaker 4: food trucks, let's go there.
Speaker 3: So we did, from the art gallery to the food truck.
Speaker 3: I know.
Speaker 1: It's really cute. I mean what's nice about it too.
Speaker 2: Is that you don't have any opportunities for somebody to
Speaker 2: bail right now. I think it happens in dating, like
Speaker 2: even just hanging out with a friend, Like you have
Speaker 2: so many different points of contact before the actual hangout
Speaker 2: where people can just flake on you.
Speaker 4: You think that, yeah, you'd think that. How So we
Speaker 4: get our top, like we get tacos and we're like
Speaker 4: comparing toppings. Were like trying each other's stuff, Like, it's
Speaker 4: really fun and cute, and I like him. I especially
Speaker 4: like him because he's asking me very thoughtful questions.
Speaker 3: What's a thoughtful question?
Speaker 4: He asked me, what is the weirdest compliment I've ever received?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 2: And was it that your goldfish tastes delicious outside?
Speaker 4: I was like, I can't think of anything these. Well,
Speaker 4: I have one, he said, someone told him that he
Speaker 4: has eyes that would make a cat jealous. No, I didn't.
Speaker 4: I kind of laughed because I didn't really know what
Speaker 4: to make of that.
Speaker 3: I don't understand what that even means.
Speaker 2: I think it was just a setup so that he
Speaker 2: could tell you how he had great eyes.
Speaker 4: I think he did have nice eyes.
Speaker 3: Is there another great question that he had?
Speaker 4: So we laughed that one off, and then he goes,
Speaker 4: all right, well, what is something that you wouldn't normally
Speaker 4: tell people on a first date.
Speaker 1: That's a loaded question, Okay.
Speaker 4: So I tell him that I've had some family members
Speaker 4: might have been in some reenactments of like true their
Speaker 4: story might have been in some reenactments of true crime.
Speaker 3: Let's say that, oh, your family mental past.
Speaker 4: You said it, not me, so.
Speaker 3: I'm just decoding.
Speaker 5: What right.
Speaker 1: It doesn't sound like your family was the victim, that's
Speaker 1: for sure.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, he was trying to prize some details
Speaker 4: at of me. I don't give it to him, and
Speaker 4: I go, what about you? And he says, oh, well,
Speaker 4: I recently got out of a speeding ticket by looking
Speaker 4: like a Jonas brother, which I guess was kind of
Speaker 4: his like bad boy trying to relate to crime. I
Speaker 4: was like, oh, okay, I don't think.
Speaker 1: Anyone ever thought Jonas brothers were bad boys. So you
Speaker 1: just like it because it's.
Speaker 2: Different conversation than normally happens on a first date.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I thought it was at least interesting.
Speaker 3: Sounds interesting. Yeah, Now earlier you mentioned there was no
Speaker 3: chance for him to ditch to escape, and he kind
Speaker 3: of laughed at that.
Speaker 4: So the final part of our date, we decided to
Speaker 4: go into a nearby bookstore and we're just kind of
Speaker 4: perusing the aisle and then all of a sudden, it's
Speaker 4: like one of those things, you know, like the door
Speaker 4: has like a bell attached to it. I hear the
Speaker 4: bell ding and I just instinctively look up and there's
Speaker 4: Mark and he's just sprinting.
Speaker 3: The store.
Speaker 4: Oh god, yes, and he didn't say anything to me.
Speaker 3: Did somebody shout, oh my god, it's one of the
Speaker 3: Jonas brothers.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I instantly go to the taco truck.
Speaker 3: Oh there was.
Speaker 2: A digestive issue that he needed to find a bathroom.
Speaker 4: I don't think of that. But he he had my
Speaker 4: number and he didn't even like text me to apologize or.
Speaker 1: Wait you never saw him again?
Speaker 4: No, no, I'm calling you.
Speaker 2: How rude like you are someone you spend that many
Speaker 2: hours and then you you run away.
Speaker 3: It's like you said, if there's an emergency happening in
Speaker 3: your clothes at the moment, you don't stick around and
Speaker 3: explain yourself. That's case scenario.
Speaker 2: I know, text you, text you, call you say I'm sorry.
Speaker 3: His phone was in his pants. It's all messed up.
Speaker 3: I don't know what the answer is, but hopefully he
Speaker 3: picks up when we call him and he has some
Speaker 3: for us when we reach out to Mark for you
Speaker 3: and ask what made you sprint out of the bookstore
Speaker 3: without saying goodbye after your awesome insta date. Yeah, we're
Speaker 3: gonna find out when we do your second date update
Speaker 3: right after this. Hold on second date update. If you're
Speaker 3: just joining us. We may have uncovered secret audio of
Speaker 3: Mark at the very end of his first date with
Speaker 3: Megan Fast uncovered because he literally he's sprinted out of
Speaker 3: the bookstore where they were without saying goodbye, leaving Megan
Speaker 3: wondering what is going on and who is going to
Speaker 3: pay for this fifty Shades of Gray Make your Own
Speaker 3: Adventure bookmart Yeah, it always ends weird, trust, but Brooke
Speaker 3: had a theory that it was a post taco truck
Speaker 3: and murder urgency that had him sprinting out of there.
Speaker 3: But remember Meghan said that she liked him because Mark
Speaker 3: asked unique questions during the date and that was a
Speaker 3: big turn on.
Speaker 4: Right Megan, Yeah, especially for an impromptu date.
Speaker 3: Yeah, time to prep it.
Speaker 2: I mean the whole thing felt pretty natural from your
Speaker 2: description of it. I can't even think of why why
Speaker 2: anyone would run away.
Speaker 4: Yeah, this was like a really big deal to me
Speaker 4: because this is the first connection I've had since I
Speaker 4: moved here about a month ago.
Speaker 3: Have we considered the fact that he may not be
Speaker 3: able to read.
Speaker 1: We're laughing and I'm gonna feel really bad.
Speaker 3: We can't hear this, I'm kidding, So, I mean, look,
Speaker 3: we're all pulling for it because we don't want you
Speaker 3: to have no connections in this new city that you
Speaker 3: just moved to.
Speaker 1: Before moving to a new city can be hard.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll try and help connect you with the guy,
Speaker 3: even if he can't read. At least it's somebody that
Speaker 3: you can hang out with.
Speaker 4: It.
Speaker 3: I didn't watch a TV show.
Speaker 1: You can't be picky when you're new in a city.
Speaker 1: You gotta take what you get. May take picture books
Speaker 1: for a reason, and.
Speaker 3: We'll upgrade slowly over time if need be. But first
Speaker 3: let's call Mark. We'll see if he picks up, hopefully
Speaker 3: get some answers. Okay, here we go. Hello, Hey is
Speaker 3: this Mark?
Speaker 6: Yes? Who's this?
Speaker 4: Hey?
Speaker 3: Mark? So we didn't catch you in the bathroom or something.
Speaker 3: It sounds kind of echoey on your end. Well, I
Speaker 3: hope we didn't catch a bad time.
Speaker 5: Who are you?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, we should tell you. We're a radio show
Speaker 3: called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.
Speaker 6: Yeah, good morning, Okay, good morning.
Speaker 5: What's this about?
Speaker 1: You're on your bathroom ratings and reviews segments?
Speaker 3: This is on the that's what we do. We're like
Speaker 3: kind of a fun, jokey comedy type show. But one
Speaker 3: of the big things we do is a dating segment
Speaker 3: called second Date Update. I don't know if you're familiar
Speaker 3: with it, but one of our listeners reached out to
Speaker 3: us because you guys went out the other night. She
Speaker 3: had a really good time. Her name's Meghan. Oh oh,
Speaker 3: oh god. Okay, yeah, yeah, Well, we have a lot
Speaker 3: of questions for you, Mark, the number one question being
Speaker 3: why did you sprint out of the bookstore at the
Speaker 3: end of the date without saying anything. Is there a
Speaker 3: reason behind that? Uh?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I definitely had a good reason.
Speaker 3: Well good because we heard about your date. Megan told
Speaker 3: us a lot about it, but she has no idea
Speaker 3: why you would go running out of that bookstore. Should
Speaker 3: she know the reason?
Speaker 5: Well, I don't. I don't know.
Speaker 6: Meghan should know the reason, I would think, but she
Speaker 6: really does.
Speaker 1: Did you text her or something?
Speaker 2: Because she didn't get your text like there was no
Speaker 2: explanation from you.
Speaker 6: Nope, nope, I did not text her at all.
Speaker 5: I went to an art exhibit and yes, we hit
Speaker 5: it off. It was nice.
Speaker 6: And then next thing I know, we're getting a late
Speaker 6: lunch and she's telling me that her family.
Speaker 5: Is in the cartel.
Speaker 3: What oh the family. Remember Oh okay, wait wait wait, wait.
Speaker 1: Wait, wait, hold on.
Speaker 2: This comes from a question that you asked her. You
Speaker 2: asked her one thing that she would never share on
Speaker 2: a first date.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and I'm glad I did because then she shared
Speaker 6: that with me, and I knew to steer clear.
Speaker 3: Well hold only turn off when we heard about it.
Speaker 3: She said that her family had kind of like a
Speaker 3: sordid past with maybe some criminal activity.
Speaker 2: I just thought there were some felons, you know, like
Speaker 2: yeast a felon.
Speaker 1: I mean, mind of.
Speaker 3: Felons are better than the cartel. That is that our stance.
Speaker 1: It's not necessarily a lifelong decision. It's like one bad
Speaker 1: choice to be a felon.
Speaker 2: The cartel is like you're making yeah, marketment.
Speaker 3: How did you get to the cartel? From what she
Speaker 3: told you?
Speaker 5: She just said it.
Speaker 6: She was like, okay, well, let's just say that, like
Speaker 6: what you guys were saying about your families, like there's
Speaker 6: some sordid characters or whatever. And I pressed and then
Speaker 6: she was like, well, yeah, my family is in the cartel.
Speaker 6: That's why I had to move cities.
Speaker 1: Wait, that's why she had to move cities.
Speaker 5: Yep, that's why I had moved here.
Speaker 6: They're keeping tabs on me, but I think we're safe.
Speaker 3: Okay, So wait, you learn all this information about her,
Speaker 3: how do you go from being in the bookstore with
Speaker 3: her to sprinting out, Yeah, why did you run before?
Speaker 6: When she said they were keeping cabs on me? I
Speaker 6: was sort of like thinking, okay, is there anybody watching
Speaker 6: us right now?
Speaker 5: So I didn't want to just run away, so I
Speaker 5: was like, Hey, let's go into this bookstore and then your.
Speaker 1: Escape route because they wouldn't see you outside the bookstore.
Speaker 5: Run there.
Speaker 3: Boost It's not like the cartel is tapping the line
Speaker 3: right now listening to what you're saying, at least we
Speaker 3: don't think so. I don't know how they operate, but
Speaker 3: I do know Megan is on the other line listening
Speaker 3: to the Callells.
Speaker 1: A big fan of the second.
Speaker 5: Wouldn't be Meg's on the phone right now.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's how the state Works's to go ahead.
Speaker 4: I just want to say, I think you're overreacting a
Speaker 4: little bit. I think this is kind of a bit
Speaker 4: much given what I mentioned.
Speaker 3: Wait, wait, what.
Speaker 1: Are you talking about, Megan? You're joking right?
Speaker 4: Well, I can't tell a lot. I can't really share
Speaker 4: that in Frankly, Mark couldn't have pulled that on the line.
Speaker 1: Well he didn't know.
Speaker 3: Well, he's just telling us his side of the story.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I'm glad I did well.
Speaker 4: And that's why I thought that was a conversation just
Speaker 4: between you and me. That's why I didn't say the
Speaker 4: word cartel. That's why I just said, oh, my family
Speaker 4: has a criminal background.
Speaker 3: Oh so Mark? Okay, Mark, do you want to apologize
Speaker 3: for outing her family as part of the cartel?
Speaker 2: I would suggest what you're talking about if you think
Speaker 2: about it.
Speaker 4: This really is your fault because you were the one
Speaker 4: who asked me the question, what would I not tell
Speaker 4: anyone on a first date? So really it's kind of
Speaker 4: your fault.
Speaker 3: Put a hit on yourself.
Speaker 4: Now you've heard everything, like just know we do want
Speaker 4: to go on another date, Like yeah, we can't really
Speaker 4: like text the name of locations, but we can like
Speaker 4: to do a code?
Speaker 3: Are you serious?
Speaker 5: Why a.
Speaker 3: Joke?
Speaker 4: Okay, I can't tell.
Speaker 3: I'm a little bit scared, like Mark, I'm angry. I
Speaker 3: want to hang out with her down Mark, what's your
Speaker 3: read on how Megan is doing this?
Speaker 6: No, I'm completely against this.
Speaker 5: I want to protect.
Speaker 1: Myself against the cartel. That's not a good idea.
Speaker 4: He already out of them. He was the one who
Speaker 4: said it.
Speaker 6: I didn't, oh.
Speaker 3: Man, I mean I would. I would be a little
Speaker 3: bit flattered.
Speaker 4: I mean, actually, I'm not going to tell you anything, but.
Speaker 1: Get really good presence from anybody if you're a dating
Speaker 1: like you know what I mean. Oh yeah, they have money.
Speaker 3: I mean we're trying to keep this light, but I mean,
Speaker 3: there's no way that's real.
Speaker 2: I don't believe the reason I'm keeping his light because
Speaker 2: I think she's joking the whole time, like nobody's getting
Speaker 2: her like dry sense of humor.
Speaker 3: Okay, but she did just move. She told him that
Speaker 3: he had has well, yeah, there is some evidence against her.
Speaker 1: Okay. Can he ever meet your family?
Speaker 4: Will he even be able to find them? I doubt it.
Speaker 5: This is real, guys, this is real. She was serious
Speaker 5: what he told to be on the date.
Speaker 6: She's serious what she's telling you to you. Now. Well,
Speaker 6: I've been going to work and I've been seeing the
Speaker 6: same car go around and around in the in the
Speaker 6: root between my home and my office.
Speaker 5: I can't.
Speaker 1: Are you sure you're not being paranoid?
Speaker 3: Yeah, everybody owns a tesla.
Speaker 4: Now, dude, seems riskier than saying yes.
Speaker 3: The whole point of this call, Mark is to offer
Speaker 3: to send you out on another date with Megan, and
Speaker 3: we can't. We won't say where you're going, just because
Speaker 3: we want to keep you safe. So we'll use a
Speaker 3: code word like I'll ave Bboteca.
Speaker 1: That's not code, that's Spanish.
Speaker 3: What do you think, Mark, there's lots of libraries. I'll
Speaker 3: never be able to tell.
Speaker 6: So I ran sprinting from a bookstore to get away
Speaker 6: from this woman. I told you everything that I told
Speaker 6: you on the phone right now. What is it that
Speaker 6: makes you think that.
Speaker 5: I would say yes to another date?
Speaker 1: People will do anything for free stuff.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you don't have to pay for me. I'm financially
Speaker 4: taken care of already.
Speaker 3: Oh an independent woman, I mean dirty money, but yeah independent.
Speaker 1: Oh I'm sure that they launder it.
Speaker 4: You guys are making light of this, But I'm going
Speaker 4: to call you later.
Speaker 1: Mark.
Speaker 4: We're going to hang out all the car pick you up.
Speaker 3: Oh, same car that's following him around the neighborhood, so
Speaker 3: you'll know which one it is. Mark, Just hop in.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, it's freaking Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 3: Her delivery was interesting there she was joking right. Well,
Speaker 3: it's hard to say because listening back to it again,
Speaker 3: I think she probably unhappy with Mark for saying that
Speaker 3: information on the air because she said criminal past, he
Speaker 3: said cartel. So there is a difference.
Speaker 2: But why would you go on a radio show like
Speaker 2: It's just crazy to me.
Speaker 3: Maybe she just didn't think that the information would come
Speaker 3: out that way, so she had to play it like, Oh,
Speaker 3: I'm joking, guys, because someone could hear this, and now
Speaker 3: everyone who works on your show is in jeopardy. So
Speaker 3: I'm kidding. Take the hand. I have a solution. If
Speaker 3: you are in the cartel text us right now, is
Speaker 3: anybody you're in trouble? Yeah, we'd like to know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean they're pretty straight.
Speaker 3: Because that's the thing we're not good at taking hits.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: We still don't know what's going on. We are not sure.
Speaker 3: But all we know is Megan did not get another date,
Speaker 3: although Brook there is a dark van outside the station
Speaker 3: with a bunch of guys who say they're big fans
Speaker 3: and they want to talk to you privately. So I
Speaker 3: don't know what that's about.
Speaker 1: Do I need a safety word or I'm sure I don't.
Speaker 3: Want you to sign some shirts right anyway, If you
Speaker 3: want some help, you can always email the show. We
Speaker 3: can call that person who's not calling you back and
Speaker 3: go check out all of our second dates wherever you
Speaker 3: get your podcasts. They're available at Brook and
Speaker 1: Jeffrey, Brook and Jeffrey in the Morning,
