Speaker 1: Welcome to the Second Day podcast. We're so glad you're here,
Speaker 1: especially on a lovely Friday.
Speaker 2: Happier than the other two girls that you're here.
Speaker 3: So you know, it's.
Speaker 1: Definitely in computation, Jose, So you know, listen, I am
Speaker 1: so curious to see if people think this hack that
Speaker 1: one of our listeners had for meeting a guy who's
Speaker 1: put together would.
Speaker 3: Work, would work? Yeah, it's logical, for sure. It doesn't work.
Speaker 3: It does it work? Okay, you got to test it
Speaker 3: out for us and let us know in the comments.
Speaker 3: What do you see in that you're liking in the
Speaker 3: comments right now? Alexis Yeah.
Speaker 4: Megan Weber said, I'm moving houses and classrooms right now.
Speaker 4: These second dates have been my favorite while I pack
Speaker 4: an unpacked Yeah, moving houses.
Speaker 3: Yeah, classrooms. I'm guessing she's a teacher.
Speaker 2: Okay, I don't confuse the couch in the.
Speaker 4: Classroom, right, that'd be nice for the students. Actually, seriously,
Speaker 4: we got wine cart bar.
Speaker 3: You gotta watch for that. That one could. All right,
Speaker 3: here's your second day it starts now.
Speaker 5: Second date up date.
Speaker 6: Meeting a good single guy is like finding an open
Speaker 6: parking space at Costco on a Saturday.
Speaker 5: They exist.
Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't believe that you got to
Speaker 3: be aggressive.
Speaker 6: Yes, got to be aggressive and get kind of lucky
Speaker 6: with it, or you could be like Brook and parking
Speaker 6: the rear blocking the fire lane next to the road
Speaker 6: of dumpsters and just call it a day.
Speaker 3: I didn't block the handicapped parking spot. So that's how.
Speaker 5: Thoughtful point is.
Speaker 6: Finding good men not easy, and that's why our listener
Speaker 6: Laura says she had to find a strategy to help
Speaker 6: her find a decent dude, and apparently she came up
Speaker 6: with one. So Laura, welcome to the show.
Speaker 7: Hi.
Speaker 1: Is it bad that I'm hoping that your strategy also
Speaker 1: helps me in the Costco parking.
Speaker 8: Lot at all?
Speaker 6: Tell us about this guy that you met and the
Speaker 6: strategy that you used to find him.
Speaker 8: So first, let me start by saying, and I'm sure
Speaker 8: everyone can relate to this, that I have met so
Speaker 8: many people that were duds on both both on the
Speaker 8: app and in person. Yeah.
Speaker 2: The problem is is we think we're catches. Us are awful. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's not true.
Speaker 3: Just a dodge.
Speaker 8: Yeah, okay, okay, So a while back, I was listening
Speaker 8: to this podcast and this girl was giving some really
Speaker 8: fabulous dating advice?
Speaker 3: Oh my god?
Speaker 1: Was it a Lexus on Our Brook and Jeffery?
Speaker 5: Why what did she say?
Speaker 8: Well, she said that women are in general having a
Speaker 8: hard time finding a guy that's well put together. Like
Speaker 8: you can meet a guy and he'll be great at first,
Speaker 8: and then everything just goes south really really quickly, which
Speaker 8: is different.
Speaker 5: Than women who are perfect right away.
Speaker 8: No, no, no, no, no, it's a two way street.
Speaker 8: I'll admit it's a two way street.
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, So what was the solution?
Speaker 8: Okay, so you're gonna love this girl to go to
Speaker 8: the gym at nine am on a Saturday, and the
Speaker 8: reason being because most guys who are, let's just be
Speaker 8: polite and say not put together would never be at
Speaker 8: the gym at nine am on a Saturday because they
Speaker 8: were probably out partying the night before.
Speaker 6: Yeah, not just on a Saturday early like ever, I'm
Speaker 6: not going to the gym.
Speaker 5: Yeah I'm done.
Speaker 2: But that's actually a decent strategy.
Speaker 5: But you don't agree.
Speaker 3: No, I mean I get it. Yeah, sure, I get it.
Speaker 3: But I think even earlier than that. Yeah, busy at
Speaker 3: nine you.
Speaker 2: Have a body who literally works out to get rid
Speaker 2: of his hangover.
Speaker 3: Sweat.
Speaker 6: Okay, I get the idea, though, you want to go
Speaker 6: at a time when like all the party guys are
Speaker 6: supposedly it's too early for them.
Speaker 4: Yeah, or if they are people who party, they can
Speaker 4: manage it. You know, they still work out the day.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's perseverance right there. What's the talent?
Speaker 7: Like?
Speaker 5: At the gym at nine am on a.
Speaker 8: Saturday, Shockingly, a lot of really cute, well put together
Speaker 8: meg okay, Jack.
Speaker 1: Putt okay, Yeah, So did you have your pick or
Speaker 1: what I had my pick?
Speaker 8: I got like all decked out and I put on
Speaker 8: my favorite Lululemons and I got like all up in there.
Speaker 5: Okay. So who did you meet?
Speaker 8: I met a guy named Franklin.
Speaker 3: Franklin.
Speaker 8: Yeah, and I'm not gonna I'm not gonna lie. I
Speaker 8: legit set myself as bait.
Speaker 5: How Yah, what did you do?
Speaker 8: Well? Like I said, I got all decked out, and
Speaker 8: you know, I kind of like alluded to the fact
Speaker 8: that I didn't know what I was doing, and so yeah,
Speaker 8: I'm ashamed to say it, but I did. And he
Speaker 8: came over and kind of helped me figure out how
Speaker 8: to use the machine that I was working on. Yeah,
Speaker 8: it worked out We had a nice little conversation and
Speaker 8: eventually he asked me out, oh it works.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm still picturing you guys at the machine, like
Speaker 6: did he come up behind you and like help you
Speaker 6: push the levers?
Speaker 7: All?
Speaker 8: This is not porn, hob take it easy over there.
Speaker 5: That picture more like ghosts like with the pottery.
Speaker 7: Go ahead.
Speaker 8: Yeah. No, I just kind of was like, I can't
Speaker 8: lift these giant plates. Can you help mecha?
Speaker 3: I need a big strong man to help me rescue me.
Speaker 5: So was the gym your date or did you guys
Speaker 5: like go out for real?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 8: We went out. He took me to dinner at Nobu.
Speaker 5: Whoa I know, I know, and.
Speaker 8: I had never been there, so I was really excited
Speaker 8: he suggested it and I was like, wow, you know
Speaker 8: that's a little expensive.
Speaker 3: But did you say that Like.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I was like, whoa Nobu? Okay, first date, that's
Speaker 8: like setting your bar really high.
Speaker 3: Yeah, totally.
Speaker 5: So how was it?
Speaker 8: It was amazing. We had a really good time. We
Speaker 8: really connected. We tried some new sushi together, which is
Speaker 8: always an interesting conversation piece at least.
Speaker 2: Had before.
Speaker 6: Yeah, did you play the damsel in distress again and
Speaker 6: be like, oh, I don't know how to use these chopsticks.
Speaker 5: I wish a big strong man could come over here
Speaker 5: and show me that.
Speaker 8: I actually had a friend that was Japanese who told
Speaker 8: me that they don't use chopsticks, that they actually use
Speaker 8: their fingers. So when I eat sushi, I eat my hands.
Speaker 5: That's a look.
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's true or not, but I
Speaker 1: think it's really funny if your friend was truly new.
Speaker 2: An idiot, just double fisted and sushi on the table.
Speaker 5: All right, so you had some hand sushi. That's nice
Speaker 5: hand sushi.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 8: And then I mean they call them hand rolls, right, yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: What about the connection with Franklin?
Speaker 8: No, we really did connect and we were talking like future,
Speaker 8: which was was kind of like I was kind of like, yeah,
Speaker 8: like we were talking about like traveling together and like
Speaker 8: going skydiving, and you're on the.
Speaker 3: Phone with us. There has to be something bad that
Speaker 3: happened in the night.
Speaker 5: Already. Sound someone that's this put together.
Speaker 4: That's it's getting weird now.
Speaker 5: It's like serial killer. Nobody's this charming and put anything.
Speaker 7: I know. I know.
Speaker 5: Wow, all right, so how did you end it?
Speaker 8: We ended the night with a hug and I assumed
Speaker 8: that we'd go out again, of course, because we had
Speaker 8: such a great time. And I haven't heard from him
Speaker 8: in like two weeks. He just disappeared.
Speaker 3: Have you reached out to him or have you going
Speaker 3: to the gym?
Speaker 8: Okay? So I reached out to him just one time.
Speaker 8: I didn't want to see Meaty, and no, I never
Speaker 8: went back to the gym on the Saturday morning. So
Speaker 8: I'm actually thinking it could be that because maybe he
Speaker 8: thinks that I just went to the gym, like I
Speaker 8: set my own trap, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: I don't think that guys put that much thought into
Speaker 3: where they made.
Speaker 7: They care.
Speaker 8: I don't know if they care.
Speaker 6: H No, I'm not even gonna put very much thought
Speaker 6: into leaving this break. So let's come back and call
Speaker 6: this guy and do your second date update right after.
Speaker 5: This next second date update.
Speaker 6: Who knew nine am on Saturday was prime time for
Speaker 6: available hobbies at the gym?
Speaker 3: Everybody knows. No, it's going to be slimmed.
Speaker 6: Our listener Laura knew because she heard about it on
Speaker 6: a podcast, So she went to check it out, and
Speaker 6: that's where she met Hunky and respect Franklin. He showed
Speaker 6: her how to lift a five pound dumbbell. She showed
Speaker 6: him how to eat sushi with your hands at NOBU.
Speaker 2: It is the traditional way.
Speaker 6: Jem apparently seemed like a match made in heaven. But
Speaker 6: Franklin has now gone two weeks without setting up another date.
Speaker 6: So either that finger sushi hit real wrong or something
Speaker 6: else is going on, so do not call.
Speaker 3: It finger sushi.
Speaker 2: Sushi hit good.
Speaker 7: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I just see the chip of a thumb or something.
Speaker 3: It's hitting a.
Speaker 7: Brook.
Speaker 5: What do you think is going on?
Speaker 1: I know, I mean dating's just so hard, and people
Speaker 1: have so many options, and life is so busy.
Speaker 3: It's just it could not be you.
Speaker 2: At all, could be literally anything.
Speaker 1: Yes, I mean everything you describe sounded perfect, okay, but
Speaker 1: hand sushi.
Speaker 3: Did you explain why you were eating with your hands?
Speaker 5: You know, just do it?
Speaker 8: Yeah, of course, all right.
Speaker 5: Alexis thinks that the issue is the hand sushi thing.
Speaker 5: That is kind of gross.
Speaker 3: If someone, just Alexis, doesn't know how to eat sushi.
Speaker 6: And you weren't feeding each other sushi with your hands, right,
Speaker 6: it was your own hands.
Speaker 3: I think that sounds fun.
Speaker 6: That's how you get banned from nob forever. But let's
Speaker 6: call Franklin. Here, Let's call Franklin and see if he
Speaker 6: has some answers for us.
Speaker 5: Hopefully he picks up and I'm.
Speaker 8: Downing it right now, thank you?
Speaker 7: All right?
Speaker 5: Hold on, hello, Hey, is this Franklin?
Speaker 7: Uh yeah, who's speaking?
Speaker 3: Man? I knew he didn't answer and be put together
Speaker 3: right now?
Speaker 5: He does not put together.
Speaker 6: My name is jeff and you're actually on a radio
Speaker 6: show right now called Brook and Jeffrey in the Morning Morning.
Speaker 7: Why am I on a radio show right now? What's
Speaker 7: going on?
Speaker 8: Well?
Speaker 6: One of our listeners asked us to reach out to
Speaker 6: you because she had a great time getting sushi the
Speaker 6: other day.
Speaker 5: Her name is Laura.
Speaker 7: Oh god, Laura. She is.
Speaker 8: Such a fun show.
Speaker 5: So you liked her? It sounds I like it.
Speaker 3: I like, let's let's sake that.
Speaker 7: God.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Laura, Is that how you meant it? Franklin?
Speaker 6: No, no, no, I normally don't misread people.
Speaker 1: Okay, that is so crazy, Like what a disconnect between
Speaker 1: how she described you and your reaction.
Speaker 2: She loved the date?
Speaker 7: All right? Yeah, So is that is that all you
Speaker 7: need to ask me about? Well?
Speaker 5: No, we uh so there's more to this.
Speaker 6: We're doing a segment called the second date update, because
Speaker 6: Laura really wants to hang out again with you, and
Speaker 6: she's a little bit confused about why that hasn't happened
Speaker 6: in the two weeks since you went to Nobu together.
Speaker 7: Oh. Yeah, I don't I don't know, man, I'm I'm
Speaker 7: not sure if I'm really capable of dating her.
Speaker 3: Why.
Speaker 5: Okay, what does that mean? What do you mean?
Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't know. I don't know if I can
Speaker 7: keep up with her lifestyle because she seems high maintenance,
Speaker 7: you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: I thought you were kind of a high maintenance one
Speaker 2: taking trying to get on your roster.
Speaker 7: Even so, hold on, slow, slow down, guys, we're that
Speaker 7: was her idea, not mine.
Speaker 1: What she told us, it was your idea, and she
Speaker 1: was like, no, let's not do that.
Speaker 3: It's too expensive.
Speaker 7: No, no, no. We were kind of tossing ideas back
Speaker 7: and forth about where to go, and I think she's
Speaker 7: the one that actually suggested no, but not me.
Speaker 5: But all right, but you.
Speaker 3: Agreed to it, I mean different place.
Speaker 7: Yeah. I didn't want to seem too difficult, so I
Speaker 7: just kind of went with it, and I honestly didn't
Speaker 7: realize what I was getting it too. No.
Speaker 5: Oh, God, you didn't You didn't know.
Speaker 3: You didn't know.
Speaker 1: Nobody's like this high end, super expensive restaurant.
Speaker 7: No, no, no, I'm a Chick fil a kind of guy.
Speaker 6: Like, well, I mean what one tier below? It's pretty close.
Speaker 3: The only time I've been is with my agent, Like.
Speaker 5: Right, okay, yeah, so did you pay the bit? Like
Speaker 5: how much? Can we ask how much?
Speaker 7: Was yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 7: Instead of a nice little Chick fil a forty dollars day,
Speaker 7: being like four hundred dollars.
Speaker 4: Oh no, I feel bad for you, dude.
Speaker 1: I think she knew okay, but honestly, like she thought
Speaker 1: that you were up for it, like she thought she
Speaker 1: played it as your choice.
Speaker 5: She was impressed because you were in it together.
Speaker 7: Yeah, not quite. It was definitely her suggestion, and that
Speaker 7: gives me that whole idea that she's expecting this pretty frequently.
Speaker 7: And then she started talking about expensive things like skydiving
Speaker 7: and hang gliding and had my head spinning. There's no
Speaker 7: way I can afford this girl, Okay, Can.
Speaker 3: People talk about fun things that are expensively?
Speaker 8: Yeah?
Speaker 6: I feel like this has been a little bit of
Speaker 6: a miscommunication, a misunderstanding because we didn't get that impression
Speaker 6: from her and you can actually ask her yourself, Franklin,
Speaker 6: because Laura has been waiting on the other line wanting
Speaker 6: to talk to you.
Speaker 7: Oh gosh, you got to set up. Thank you.
Speaker 2: It's international phone call charging.
Speaker 1: The good news is usually really wealthy people don't call
Speaker 1: our show.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, you know stands.
Speaker 5: Anyway, Laura talked to Franklin.
Speaker 8: Hey, Franklin, Laura, what are you?
Speaker 7: What are you doing put me on this radio show? Like,
Speaker 7: what's going on? You putting on blast?
Speaker 8: What are you doing being a typical jerk and disappearing
Speaker 8: and not texting me back and letting me know what's
Speaker 8: going on?
Speaker 2: What the heck? Where did that come from?
Speaker 3: She's mad?
Speaker 8: Well two weeks I thought we had a really good time.
Speaker 8: And by the way, guys, nobu was not my suggestion.
Speaker 8: It was his he it was yours.
Speaker 3: He didn't even know what it was. How could he
Speaker 3: suggest it?
Speaker 8: Like, yeah, maybe maybe I brought it up, but he
Speaker 8: agreed to it.
Speaker 5: It was well, Franklin, you did mess up there, so y'at.
Speaker 7: Admit that or I didn't want to be difficult or anything,
Speaker 7: all right. I just kind of went with the idea
Speaker 7: and I thought sure, And I had never been to Nobu,
Speaker 7: so I had I had no idea what was going on.
Speaker 2: He didn't know he was signing up.
Speaker 3: I mean, do you feel like some empathy towards him?
Speaker 8: Now? He probably he probably googled a coupon for Nobu
Speaker 8: before we went.
Speaker 7: Out, now that I'm hearing all this, Listen, I looked
Speaker 7: for a coupon, but doesn't mean you did.
Speaker 3: That's okay.
Speaker 8: Yeah, well, there's nothing wrong with going to on a
Speaker 8: first date. Sorry, agreed, No.
Speaker 6: But you hear what he's saying, right, Like he thinks
Speaker 6: that you are like probably wanting too much money out
Speaker 6: of him, and like.
Speaker 8: I'm not looking to take his money. I make money too.
Speaker 8: It's not about that. There's nothing wrong with living extravagantly.
Speaker 3: Totally. I think Jeffrey explained it wrong. He just thinks
Speaker 3: that maybe.
Speaker 1: Your lifestyle and his lifestyle don't meet up in the
Speaker 1: budget world.
Speaker 8: Yeah, you know, I mean I didn't. I didn't realize
Speaker 8: he was just cheap. I mean the theater.
Speaker 5: What'd you say?
Speaker 8: I said? I realized he was this cheap. He probably
Speaker 8: brings his own popcorn to the dollar theater.
Speaker 3: Oh wow, a dollar theater.
Speaker 5: Okay, all right.
Speaker 7: Well, now we're getting I didn't know you were this rude.
Speaker 7: The theory turn off every time you start talking.
Speaker 8: Oh, I didn't even get it. It's not about rude.
Speaker 8: If we were just talking about the future and I
Speaker 8: thought you were on board, it seems like you were
Speaker 8: agreeing with everything with me, So obviously you're not being
Speaker 8: your authentic stuff on dates. Wow, Okay, you probably asked
Speaker 8: charity if they have a happy hour special or something.
Speaker 7: God, no, wonder you were single.
Speaker 5: Franklin, he's gone, he's gone.
Speaker 8: He growed you too, all right.
Speaker 6: Frank all right, Well Franklin decided he didn't want to
Speaker 6: be a part of this.
Speaker 5: Anymorehill poor guy.
Speaker 2: Literally.
Speaker 5: Oh man, Just for.
Speaker 1: The record, it's not bad to bring your own popcorn
Speaker 1: into a movie theater.
Speaker 8: It's I've definitely been there.
Speaker 5: I think we all agree with that.
Speaker 6: But the fact that it's a dollar theater, I mean,
Speaker 6: how expensive could the popcorn be?
Speaker 8: Honestly, it's not that it's expensive. It's usually just stale.
Speaker 8: But that's beside the point.
Speaker 5: Okay, all right, popcorn?
Speaker 3: Well, I guess no more gym at nine am.
Speaker 6: Huh yeah, no, all right, Well we don't even get
Speaker 6: a chance to ask for another day.
Speaker 5: But yeah, you scared him off pretty quickly.
Speaker 4: You should find a more exclusive Jim Richard.
Speaker 8: Maybe I can go a date with one of you.
Speaker 2: Hey, I'm always instinkly.
Speaker 3: I thought you wanted somebody who was rich.
Speaker 5: Yeah, oh yeah, no, Jeffrey.
Speaker 6: In the morning, there's a lot of texts coming in
Speaker 6: at seven eight, five, nine two from our listeners asking.
Speaker 5: What is Nobu? Oh yeah, misspelled multiple ways.
Speaker 3: That does that hurt your little privileged heart? Yeah?
Speaker 5: Those are listeners, but that's why we love them.
Speaker 6: By the way, if you don't know, google Nobu n
Speaker 6: O b U sushi restaurant, very very high end.
Speaker 1: It's actually a chain though, which is a funny to me,
Speaker 1: but it is like so expensive.
Speaker 2: And sushi for people that want to pay triple. Yeah.
Speaker 5: I've never been there, but I know.
Speaker 6: Brookes sends pictures of herself dining there to her sponsored
Speaker 6: children in third world countries, saying, Hi.
Speaker 5: And Dari, I met Nobu again, third time this week.
Speaker 5: Sorry to hear your dad lost his fishing job and
Speaker 5: has to go back to the cannery. I'll text you
Speaker 5: next week.
Speaker 1: All right, Broke starting to believe that this stuff is
Speaker 1: actually real.
Speaker 3: Josh, Yeah, he.
Speaker 6: May s have some class a little bit. Brooke, we
Speaker 6: even played the most evil woman in the world. So
Speaker 6: unsuccessful second date, we are going to try again tomorrow,
Speaker 6: though with a new couple. Make sure you email the
Speaker 6: show if you want some help with your love life.
Speaker 6: We'll call that person who's not calling you back and
Speaker 6: go check out all of our second dates wherever you
