Speaker 1: Second date of date.
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.
Speaker 1: It's a little thank you gift for meeting up.
Speaker 3: He signed the title over to you.
Speaker 1: It sounds like a great day.
Speaker 2: Another bold move is to have your first date during
Speaker 2: the most romantic holiday of the year, Valentines. That's what
Speaker 2: happened for one of our listeners, Melissa, who now needs
Speaker 2: our help on Valentine's Day. So, Melissa, welcome to the show.
Speaker 3: Hi, I'm so curious. Who would ask you out on
Speaker 3: a first date around this time?
Speaker 4: Oh? Well, it was this guy that online.
Speaker 1: Actually, all right, it's gonna sound silly. Did he in
Speaker 1: any way say I don't like you like that?
Speaker 4: See?
Speaker 3: I feel like he probably just forgot that it was
Speaker 3: the holiday. I mean, he's a that's a classic guy.
Speaker 2: Going to do a lot of like complicated question. Let's
Speaker 2: start with an easy one. Does he have a name?
Speaker 4: There is, Yes, his name is John.
Speaker 1: Tell Us about tell Us about easy John.
Speaker 4: John. He's really nice, He's so cute. Okay, I just
Speaker 4: thought he was like a perfect gentleman.
Speaker 3: Really, what did he do that was so gentlemanly?
Speaker 4: Okay, well, he definitely knew that it was Valentine's weekend
Speaker 4: and he went above and beyond. Oh, booked this really
Speaker 4: nice restaurant.
Speaker 1: So he didn't shy away from it.
Speaker 2: He was like, I want to take you on a
Speaker 2: Valentine's date on Valentine's weekend, proper totally.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Okay, So how did it go?
Speaker 4: Well, So we get to the restaurant, really nice, but
Speaker 4: it is so busy.
Speaker 3: Oh did he have reservations?
Speaker 4: Yes, he made a reservation.
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, wow, man, nice restaurant like reservations on Valentine's weekend.
Speaker 2: It's very romantic, but it could put a lot of
Speaker 2: pressure on both of them going into that day. Did
Speaker 2: you feel that pressure energy at all?
Speaker 4: I felt pressure going into it, but then once I
Speaker 4: got there, he made me so comfortable.
Speaker 3: Oh we did.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: How was it?
Speaker 4: Like?
Speaker 1: Did you have a good time with him?
Speaker 4: I had a good time, like I no, no, no, I
Speaker 4: really liked Tips. It was just that the atmosphere was
Speaker 4: so insane and hectic, like we get seen at our table,
Speaker 4: we get our orders in our food comes out, and
Speaker 4: we noticed there's only one fork, Like the waiter's so busy,
Speaker 4: never bring in another fork, Like, okay, I guess we
Speaker 4: share it?
Speaker 3: Did you? Did you share it for?
Speaker 4: We tried to share the fork, but that just like
Speaker 4: took too long because then each person was waiting for
Speaker 4: the other person's take.
Speaker 2: Seriously, take a bite from the fork, and then you'd
Speaker 2: pass the fork over to John and then he would
Speaker 2: take a bite from his meal.
Speaker 1: Well, you can't make it like wait for one to finish.
Speaker 1: The other person's gonna get cald.
Speaker 3: He's a real gentleman. He'd wait for her. Gentleman, he'd
Speaker 3: just go in the back like I do and steal
Speaker 3: a fork.
Speaker 1: Station about this, I mean all the joking aside.
Speaker 2: Isn't that like a weird way to go about your
Speaker 2: first date sharing utensils?
Speaker 5: Yes, but it was like sort of.
Speaker 4: We had a laugh about it. I switched over to
Speaker 4: a spoon. It kind of makes it a little bit.
Speaker 4: It made it low stakes because we were like, this
Speaker 4: is crazy, right.
Speaker 3: So he cut up your meat for you and then
Speaker 3: 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 4: Okay, So this is where it got.
Speaker 3: A little bit weird, a weirder.
Speaker 4: We're finishing up our main course and then the host
Speaker 4: of the restaurant comes over and ask if he could
Speaker 4: speak to John, like away from the table's. John goes over,
Speaker 4: has this long conversation. I could see them talking. It
Speaker 4: looks like a little bit heated.
Speaker 6: I couldn't hear what.
Speaker 3: It's a little animated.
Speaker 4: It lasted like five minutes. It's kind of long for you.
Speaker 1: Is the host a male or a female?
Speaker 4: A guy?
Speaker 1: Okay?
Speaker 2: I was wondering if it maybe was an ex or something.
Speaker 1: Okay, not an ex.
Speaker 3: So what happened?
Speaker 4: Well, okay, so when John comes back from the conversation,
Speaker 4: he was like really upset and he was like, screw this,
Speaker 4: We're leaving. The host chases after and is like you
Speaker 4: still have to pay? Like I'm in the middle of it.
Speaker 4: I'm confuseding, like, what's happening.
Speaker 2: So you're dashing, Well, it sounds like they're being kicked
Speaker 2: out of the restaurant.
Speaker 1: Not dashing.
Speaker 2: They're like, you have to pay, but hey, you're kicking
Speaker 2: me out of a restaurant.
Speaker 1: I'm not paying either. Yeah, what happened?
Speaker 4: Well, John told me to go out and like wait
Speaker 4: in the car and that he would deal with it,
Speaker 4: and he pays, he settles up. Okay, So when we're
Speaker 4: on the car ride home, I'm asking, like.
Speaker 6: What just happened? Crazy?
Speaker 4: Apparently the host told John that we were taking too
Speaker 4: long for our meal and there was an hour limit.
Speaker 2: Oh sometimes, ye didn't John say? It only took so
Speaker 2: long because we had to share one fork passing it
Speaker 2: back and forth.
Speaker 3: That was probably, I.
Speaker 4: Mean, and I was supportive. John was like really upset
Speaker 4: about and I was like, honest, but too, that's ridiculous.
Speaker 1: Time on your day. Well that sucks.
Speaker 2: That puts like definitely a sour taste at the very
Speaker 2: end of the day. Were you able to end it
Speaker 2: on a happy note?
Speaker 4: Yeah? I mean he took me home again. He was
Speaker 4: a perfect gentleman, walk me to the door, that he
Speaker 4: would call we should do it again? Really, so he
Speaker 4: apologized for the restaurant thing, even though I could tell
Speaker 4: he was still sort of heated by it and it
Speaker 4: wasn't his fault.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, so you haven't heard anything from him
Speaker 7: since this weekend?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 3: Does that feel like I don't know. Maybe he's busy.
Speaker 7: It's weird to do a whole Valentine's DA date and
Speaker 7: then not text on Valentine's Day.
Speaker 1: Yea, all that build up and nothing super embarrassed.
Speaker 2: Or maybe he only has one cell phone that he
Speaker 2: shares with his roommate back and forth, and so his
Speaker 2: roommate has the.
Speaker 1: Cell phone this week. Yeah, so I don't know. There
Speaker 1: must be an explanation.
Speaker 2: We're gonna call the number that you gave us, hopefully
Speaker 2: it's John, and we'll try and get to your second
Speaker 2: date update.
Speaker 1: Right after this.
Speaker 5: All right, all right, all right, hold on second date
Speaker 5: update two meals one spoon should be the title of
Speaker 5: our second date today.
Speaker 3: 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.
Speaker 1: 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 3: Date and for a long meal.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it does.
Speaker 2: Sound like it helped break the tension of having a
Speaker 2: pressure filled first date.
Speaker 1: On a holiday light totally.
Speaker 3: I actually got to taste each other's food. 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. They basically got kicked out of the restaurant. It's
Speaker 3: super often.
Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot of questions about that, but apparently they
Speaker 2: were there for too long and the restaurant was trying
Speaker 2: to turn as many tables as they could that night.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, so rude.
Speaker 1: 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 4: Maybe I was also trying to think of anything else
Speaker 4: weird happened. And I do remember that he wanted to
Speaker 4: get to the restaurant early and I was like a
Speaker 4: little bit late getting ready and.
Speaker 3: He put you up right like you guys were in
Speaker 3: the same car.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he picked me up Okay, too late.
Speaker 2: Oh so you're part of the reason that may be
Speaker 2: the reservation yep.
Speaker 3: Yep, got shifted.
Speaker 1: Yeah okay, but.
Speaker 2: If they only have you blocked out for like an
Speaker 2: hour of eating, and you arrived twenty minutes after your hour,
Speaker 2: like they might run.
Speaker 3: Have you ever dated a woman like? Are we ever
Speaker 3: on time?
Speaker 7: I mean, come on, oh, you should pat it into
Speaker 7: 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 choes. 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 3: We're gonna save this vale.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I can see if.
Speaker 2: He is we're gonna save it, or we're gonna blame
Speaker 2: John for not understanding what women are really there there
Speaker 2: is here will make him say I'm sorry right when
Speaker 2: he gets on the phone.
Speaker 3: It felt good when you said, do you feel good
Speaker 3: about that?
Speaker 1: Melissa?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I just want to answer.
Speaker 2: All right, let's get those dials number right now here
Speaker 2: we go. Hello, Hey, we're looking for John. This is
Speaker 2: John and John Maya. My name is Jeff from a
Speaker 2: radio show called Brook and Jeffrey in the Morning.
Speaker 1: Hey, John, sorry for how seductively my host tried to
Speaker 1: say that to you. But John, it is Valentine's Day
Speaker 1: after all, Dear John.
Speaker 3: 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 6: 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 4: Oh Man.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we heard.
Speaker 3: We heard.
Speaker 7: I thought bold move on your part for going on
Speaker 7: a first date on Valentine's Day weekend and like leaning
Speaker 7: into it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a big deal, dude.
Speaker 6: Melissa you Yeah, she.
Speaker 2: Emailed us and we reached out to her to find
Speaker 2: out about how you two met and what you guys
Speaker 2: did on your date.
Speaker 1: So we have a few of the details.
Speaker 2: The information we're looking to get from you, though, is
Speaker 2: 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 6: Oh Man, because this is very embarrassing. You know, I
Speaker 6: want to call her, and I know I know I
Speaker 6: need to call her, but I've just been putting it
Speaker 6: off because it's such an uncomfortable conversation.
Speaker 1: You weren't physically attracted to her?
Speaker 6: No, no, you.
Speaker 7: Don't.
Speaker 2: People, it was a bad guess. Sorry, I get three
Speaker 2: bad guesses. We all get three bad guesses. That's my
Speaker 2: first strike. What were you embarrassed about?
Speaker 6: So I was really nervous about the date, and so
Speaker 6: I really wanted it to be a good experience for her.
Speaker 6: But I waited too long to get dinner reservations, and
Speaker 6: there was no restaurant open, you know that had anything
Speaker 6: open for me.
Speaker 7: Wait, she said that you had reservations and that you
Speaker 7: guys went to this fancy restaurant. Yeah.
Speaker 6: Yeah, well I might have done something a little weird
Speaker 6: what I don't know if she told you. But so
Speaker 6: at the restaurant, the way put me aside. Yeah, I
Speaker 6: had like a he had like a little conversation with me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, 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 6: Yeah, So basically what happened was the host he pulled
Speaker 6: me aside and he was like, are you John, And
Speaker 6: you know I told him that I was okay. But
Speaker 6: so what happened was the actual John showed up.
Speaker 7: Wait wait, wait what you took someone else's reservation that
Speaker 7: was also named John?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 4: I did.
Speaker 3: How did you know there was another John there?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Did you just go a table for two for John?
Speaker 1: What about Tom? What about Sarah?
Speaker 3: I bet Kurt?
Speaker 1: How did this happen?
Speaker 6: So the day before, me and my friend went to
Speaker 6: the restaurant and I told him to distract the host,
Speaker 6: and I went up to the reservation book and I
Speaker 6: looked for another reservation with Nick John.
Speaker 1: That's brilliant.
Speaker 3: And like it's such a generic name.
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, I can't tell if I'm flattered that you
Speaker 7: put you you put energy to making sure you had
Speaker 7: a table.
Speaker 2: Seriously, it makes sense because Melissa was saying you wanted
Speaker 2: to get there early and she was running late.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 6: I thought I could sneak it in there, you know.
Speaker 1: Oh my god.
Speaker 2: Okay, hold on the server and me has to ask
Speaker 2: was John the table for one? Which is why there
Speaker 2: was only one set of silverware on the table?
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's right, figured it out, okay.
Speaker 3: John, Well you should have just asked John to join you.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, And you've been waiting to tell Melissa this.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I guess that's just too embarrassed to let her know.
Speaker 6: I had a great time on the day with her,
Speaker 6: but I just was so ashamed of myself.
Speaker 7: I guess I think it's kind of fun I think
Speaker 7: that she's 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 1: But that's okay. I wonder sure, I wonder how Melissa
Speaker 1: would feel about that, though.
Speaker 2: Who actually is on the other line listening to this conversation, dude?
Speaker 6: Oh are you kidding me?
Speaker 1: I'm serious you Yeah? She I think she's still there, Melissa,
Speaker 1: you there?
Speaker 4: Yeah, curious that's what happened.
Speaker 6: Oh my god, Hey Melissa, why.
Speaker 4: Wouldn't you just tell it? Why did you have to
Speaker 4: make it make a thing like you made a reservation?
Speaker 4: We could have gone anywhere.
Speaker 6: I know, we just we clicked so and I just
Speaker 6: wanted to make it special. And you know, I just
Speaker 6: 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 to
Speaker 2: sound so understanding.
Speaker 3: You sound good, right, I.
Speaker 4: Mean, I guess I do see how much he likes
Speaker 4: me to go through all that trouble. That is kind
Speaker 4: of sleep yeah.
Speaker 7: But also kind of sketch. That he wasn't going to
Speaker 7: pay the restaurant bills they were leaving.
Speaker 3: Remember that I.
Speaker 6: Was going to pay it, but I just didn't want
Speaker 6: to get busted in front of her, so I just
Speaker 6: had to get out of.
Speaker 3: It, had to get her out.
Speaker 1: That's sweet.
Speaker 2: If he commits crimes or makes mistakes, he won't involve
Speaker 2: you in them.
Speaker 3: That's chivalry. You say it's dead.
Speaker 2: And it's not just I have to promise every man
Speaker 2: should make so because of that, I feel.
Speaker 1: The vibees going on here.
Speaker 2: We'd like to send you guys out on another date, Melissa,
Speaker 2: that we would pay for.
Speaker 3: We can't get reservations for tonight though.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I promised two forks at the table. You're
Speaker 2: at your own utensils. What do you think, Melissa?
Speaker 4: You know that is weird that that was happening, and
Speaker 4: I had no idea, but I do think that it is.
Speaker 4: It's actually kind of really nice that you were like
Speaker 4: freaking out so much about it and put all that
Speaker 4: effort in. So, yes, I would like to go on
Speaker 4: another date.
Speaker 3: Love is real.
Speaker 1: Look at that.
Speaker 2: If you are a little bit dishonest on a first
Speaker 2: date and then admit to your dishonesty later on.
Speaker 3: But it's all in the name of love, Jeffy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's fine as long as you say that.
Speaker 1: You don't have to actually believe it.
Speaker 2: Just say that it's for love and we can get
Speaker 2: you a successful relationship.
Speaker 1: Congratulations, guys, Thanks.
Speaker 3: Valid, time's day.
Speaker 2: It's Brook and Jeffrey in the morning brooking Jeffrey in
Speaker 2: the morning.
Speaker 1: Well, it's official.
Speaker 2: The hot new first date move is stealing someone else's
Speaker 2: reservation and claiming it for yourself.
Speaker 3: It's romantic.
Speaker 2: Still the effort is I mean, Brook, if you found
Speaker 2: out that your husband Michael did that for your Valentine
Speaker 2: State and stole some other couple's table, would you would
Speaker 2: your reaction be on Michael, You're so conniving and manipulative.
Speaker 1: Sweet, I love you.
Speaker 3: Yes, I would be impressed. I am not even lying.
Speaker 2: Okay, an effort.
Speaker 7: Yeah, we got into a fight over how he hadn't
Speaker 7: planned anything and so he did finally play on something right, well, whatever.
Speaker 2: I just find someone with a generic name like Michael
Speaker 2: at a reservation somewhere.
Speaker 3: Could be I had a great date on Saturday night.
Speaker 1: There's like five man Michael Fox.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Well, the lesson that we're learning is it's okay to
Speaker 2: be dishonest on a first date as long as it's
Speaker 2: for a good reason or to possibly get some.
Speaker 4: Action benefits from it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, as long.
Speaker 7: As the girls on top of everybody wave, I'm so
Speaker 7: excited for them, excited for a couple in a long time.
Speaker 2: I feel bad for the original John guy whose reservation
Speaker 2: got stolen, but I.
Speaker 3: Feel bad that he was eaten by himself on Valentine's
Speaker 3: Day weekend.
Speaker 1: But you know, yeah, on anyway he shows up. Of course,
Speaker 1: someone already has team. We promise not to pile on
Speaker 1: to you, though.
