Speaker 1: Second date, up date. If someone sets you up on
Speaker 1: a blind date, what are the worst possible case scenarios
Speaker 1: that could come of it? Like, in the first five
Speaker 1: minutes they ask for a job interview at your company.
Speaker 1: I don't know you would like that.
Speaker 2: I mean I thought of worse things in my head
Speaker 2: than that.
Speaker 1: I didn't even get you. Yeah, driving the getaway car
Speaker 1: and they do the bank heist.
Speaker 2: I mean, how are they.
Speaker 1: Let's say they were really.
Speaker 2: Hot, I mean fast driver.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's exciting. Maybe you realize halfway through dinner your
Speaker 1: date is just three children standing on top of each
Speaker 1: other in a trench coat. It happens more than you think. Hey,
Speaker 1: you guys want to go play Fortnite? Yeah, best case
Speaker 1: scenario for jose. But one of our listeners, Janelle, said
Speaker 1: she had the worst possible thing happened after she was
Speaker 1: set up on a date by her friend to us today, Wait.
Speaker 2: You know worse than the three children on stacked on
Speaker 2: top of each other.
Speaker 3: It's worse than that.
Speaker 1: Five toddlers, baby, dude.
Speaker 2: Okay, we're gonna stop being at your page.
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's stop guessing. Why don't you tell us the
Speaker 1: story you said a friend set you up on a
Speaker 1: blind date.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so one of my friends at work, she was
Speaker 3: a happy hour and there's this cute guy. Okay, she's
Speaker 3: being there and she wanted me to hang out.
Speaker 2: Like a waiter at the happy hour place. Is that
Speaker 2: what you're saying?
Speaker 3: No, he hangs out there.
Speaker 1: Uh brook. Her biggest fantasy is like making away with
Speaker 1: one of the staff with the help.
Speaker 2: Fantasy or reality job.
Speaker 1: Well yeah, okay, who was she trying to set you
Speaker 1: up with?
Speaker 3: This guy named David? She's like, he's a real cutie,
Speaker 3: so why don't you come up here and try your hands?
Speaker 1: Okay, this is like a spontaneous date that she set
Speaker 1: up while she was out somewhere already.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I get up there and one got cute
Speaker 3: of course, and we get there and it's not busy
Speaker 3: at all. So once I walk inside the door, I
Speaker 3: immediately lock eyes with It's gotta be David. And guess
Speaker 3: what what? I know David already because he has experiment
Speaker 3: three years ago.
Speaker 2: Okay, so she knows your type because it is your
Speaker 2: type because you've dated him before.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh no, is that good or bad?
Speaker 3: Awkward? Because he kind of just disappeared on me three
Speaker 3: years ago he texted me like and just you know,
Speaker 3: gave him my walking paper be it text ox.
Speaker 1: Was goodbye, We're done. Yeah, at least he messaged you.
Speaker 1: A lot of guys wouldn't even have to do that.
Speaker 2: I love how that's still a positive. Like how long
Speaker 2: did you guys hang out for three years ago?
Speaker 3: Just for a few months. It wasn't long at all,
Speaker 3: but just kind of by you know, wow.
Speaker 1: My god, So how did your friends find out that
Speaker 1: this was your ex?
Speaker 3: Well?
Speaker 1: I just kind of blurted it out.
Speaker 3: I was like, I dated him before my O, what.
Speaker 2: Did they say?
Speaker 3: Everybody was just embarrassed for me and was He kind
Speaker 3: of pulled me to the side, and he's apologetic. He
Speaker 3: said he wanted to explain to me the reason, but
Speaker 3: I didn't want an explanation.
Speaker 2: Like, oh about why he kind of goes to do
Speaker 2: it for maybe there was a good explanation.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Well kind of just let me know that he
Speaker 3: wasn't ready for what I was looking for at that time.
Speaker 1: He was busy studying to be a doctor to say
Speaker 1: babies lives something worse than that.
Speaker 2: No, Yeah, I think he had other ideas of what
Speaker 2: he wanted to do with his time.
Speaker 1: Or who probably must don't lie about that stuff.
Speaker 2: But did he do the thing where he comes crawling
Speaker 2: back because now he's seen that there isn't anything better
Speaker 2: in the dating world.
Speaker 3: I can't say that, But what I can say is,
Speaker 3: after a few dreams we talked about making out, I mean.
Speaker 1: Talk about thinking about making out.
Speaker 2: Who brought that up?
Speaker 3: I did? He was kind of one of my best
Speaker 3: makeout partners.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, you're totally disappointed that it was David when
Speaker 2: you showed up to the bar.
Speaker 1: You can make out, though, but you've gone from like
Speaker 1: I cannot believe I got set up with this horrible
Speaker 1: x of mind to talking about you're the best makeout
Speaker 1: I've ever had.
Speaker 3: Then calling us to call him again.
Speaker 4: It isn't funny?
Speaker 3: How light is.
Speaker 2: What happened that night?
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, guys, I'm going to shock you with this one.
Speaker 3: We made out.
Speaker 1: You don't say.
Speaker 2: You went back to his place?
Speaker 3: No? No, No, he fit me home in an uber
Speaker 3: like I was on cloud night.
Speaker 2: Wow, you want the uber?
Speaker 3: Was he like?
Speaker 2: See she's getting I thought this was your talk.
Speaker 1: Stop asking to make out with me and go home.
Speaker 1: That's a good point. We're saying, congrats, did you want
Speaker 1: to leave with him or no. Of course I wanted
Speaker 1: to leave with him. Okay, but he was trying to
Speaker 1: be responsible.
Speaker 2: Did you really think at the end of the night
Speaker 2: you would hear from him again?
Speaker 3: I was hoping.
Speaker 1: Okay, you were.
Speaker 4: Some people grow you know.
Speaker 1: Have you tried to contact him after that night happened?
Speaker 3: Yeah? You have?
Speaker 2: How many times and at what time of day?
Speaker 3: The whole history has a repeats itself.
Speaker 4: Apparently I didn't learn my lessons because he's not responding again.
Speaker 2: Back to this, Why do you think us calling him
Speaker 2: is going to make a difference because we're not heard.
Speaker 3: Bro, I think he'll be honest, Like I learned something
Speaker 3: from this.
Speaker 1: Okay, you're still willing to give this guy a chance
Speaker 1: after he ditched you, not once, but twice.
Speaker 2: This will end the cycle that toxic.
Speaker 1: Don't trust the gen Z on what's toxic and not
Speaker 1: ration about gen Zer.
Speaker 2: But don't trust Alexis.
Speaker 1: She just takes it four boys before we started. But
Speaker 1: you know what, We're gonna try this. We're gonna do
Speaker 1: this for you, Janelle. We're gonna call David, who's technically
Speaker 1: one of your exes, and see if he's willing to
Speaker 1: give it another shot with you. I hope he remember
Speaker 1: to what's happening. We're doing it with our second date
Speaker 1: update right after this hold on second date update. If
Speaker 1: you're just joining us, this is definitely an unusual one
Speaker 1: for second date because we're kind of reaching out to
Speaker 1: Janelle's ex boyfriend David.
Speaker 2: I don't think there's a kind of about it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's the return of the Dave because they dated.
Speaker 1: They dated three years ago when he suddenly ditched her
Speaker 1: over text message. So fast forward today, at a random
Speaker 1: happy hour they accident, we got set up on a
Speaker 1: blind date, which of course was very awkward when it
Speaker 1: first started, but after an apology and a lot of drinks,
Speaker 1: they were in a much better place. Yes, even ended
Speaker 1: up making out again that night, which I.
Speaker 2: Mean in your ex is at a bar, who isn't
Speaker 2: going to make out with him? It's how you say?

Speaker 1: so we need to call him and figure out once
Speaker 1: and for all what's going on? Brooke, what are your
Speaker 1: thoughts on this situation?

Speaker 2: I get it.
Speaker 1: Like it's the chase.
Speaker 2: It's why doesn't he want you like that is totally understandable.
Speaker 3: A member, now unless I ask how about that?
Speaker 1: Okay? Well, the two times that he told you know.
Speaker 2: The thing is she wants an answer that he hasn't
Speaker 2: given her yet.
Speaker 1: Right, okay, maybe a radio show calling will help give
Speaker 1: him some clarity and realize that you're the one for him.
Speaker 2: What I still think there's something there? You're hoping he
Speaker 2: grew up? Okay?
Speaker 1: Yeah, the dating world has really messed you up. All right, Well,
Speaker 1: you know what, there's some optimism in the room. Let's
Speaker 1: give David a call see if he answers. I'm down
Speaker 1: the number right now. Hello, Hey, we're looking to talk
Speaker 1: to David. Yeah, this is hey David. Brace yourself because
Speaker 1: you're on the radio right now.
Speaker 2: Hey David, welcome to the show.
Speaker 1: What is this allowed? Allowed? That's all required. It's part
Speaker 1: of our show. As long as I tell you that
Speaker 1: you're on the radio, then it's legal.
Speaker 2: Not funny. It's very easy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay with them. Yeah, we'll be stuff if you swear.
Speaker 1: This is a segment that we do called the second
Speaker 1: Date Update, where we try to help one of our
Speaker 1: listeners reconnect with somebody that they had like a romantic
Speaker 1: spark with Okay, okay, and this is a woman that
Speaker 1: you actually have a lot of history with, but you
Speaker 1: met up with her again recently at a happy hour
Speaker 1: named Janelle.
Speaker 4: Oh why does she want?
Speaker 2: Oh so that was like, what does she want? I'm
Speaker 2: so excited.
Speaker 1: I mean the short answer is like, what she wants
Speaker 1: is to see you again.
Speaker 4: Oh no, yeah, I don't know about that.
Speaker 2: Oh well, Oh were you excited to see Janelle when
Speaker 2: she walked into the bar?
Speaker 4: No, that was super awkward.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, hold on, hold on. In her defense, she
Speaker 1: was like, oh no, I've dated him, and it was
Speaker 1: like it was awkward for her too. Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 1: It was awkward for the people in the room too,
Speaker 1: when they all found out that you guys had been
Speaker 1: together before. Yeah. So yeah, okay, I mean totally understandable.
Speaker 1: But Janelle said that after you guys hung out for
Speaker 1: a little bit, after you had a few you drinks,
Speaker 1: things seem to settle in more. And you even apologize
Speaker 1: to her.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I mean, like, I don't like that I
Speaker 4: semi ghosted her. It's not like who I am, you know,
Speaker 4: I don't mean to do that.
Speaker 2: It's kind of what you're doing again because.
Speaker 1: Well, he doesn't like that he's doing it again. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it just doesn't make him feel good, but he will
Speaker 1: do it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean like, look, I know I told her
Speaker 4: I had grown, but like I don't want to date.
Speaker 2: Wait, you don't want to date or you don't want.
Speaker 4: To date her just in general honestly. Oh yeah, I
Speaker 4: mean she I know she wants to like settle down
Speaker 4: and have kids, and like we talked about that, but
Speaker 4: I don't. I don't want to do that. I don't
Speaker 4: I want to be single. I don't want to disappoint
Speaker 4: her or anything.
Speaker 2: I think that is like such a hard thing for
Speaker 2: women to accept, and I don't like I think that
Speaker 2: you're totally valid for saying that, but like so many
Speaker 2: times women can be like, well.
Speaker 4: But if you do it with me, I can see
Speaker 4: us having plans on a Friday night and then a
Speaker 4: buddy calls me up and is like, hey, when I
Speaker 4: go hang out, and honest to god, I would ditch her.
Speaker 4: It's an unfortunate circumstance. It's like I won't make her
Speaker 4: a priority.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's because it's mature that you know that,
Speaker 1: and you can like say that.
Speaker 2: But it's not mature that the.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't care like whatever judgment call you want
Speaker 4: to put on it. It's who I am and I
Speaker 4: admit it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, somebody says who they are, you gotta believe them absolutely,
Speaker 2: at least you're saying it.
Speaker 1: Some people just ghost. Well he was doing he was.
Speaker 4: I mean, I was going to I was going to
Speaker 4: text her, but.
Speaker 1: Honestly, that classic text love that thing. I'm sorry to
Speaker 1: ruin your plans to text her and ditch her, but

Speaker 3: Yeah? I mean, but what could be so bad? David
Speaker 3: like me?
Speaker 1: Wait? Wait, are you not listening to him?
Speaker 3: I mean, if you wanted to hang out with your
Speaker 3: friends while we were hanging out, all you have to
Speaker 3: do is say so you can do that.
Speaker 1: Oh God, don't seriously like you don't mean that. Yes,
Speaker 1: it will be no issue.
Speaker 2: No, this is like I'm a cool girl, walk all
Speaker 2: over me. I don't do that.
Speaker 3: I'm trying to be understanding.
Speaker 2: You don't have to be understanding with someone who will
Speaker 2: make you also a priority.
Speaker 1: Yes, thank you? Who respects you?
Speaker 4: I mean you want to be understanding, understand that, like,
Speaker 4: I don't want this?
Speaker 3: What exactly don't you want?
Speaker 2: There?
Speaker 1: There? It's crazy.

Speaker 4: Okay, Well, I don't know if you like who I am.
Speaker 4: I really don't.
Speaker 3: Oh what, You're an awesome person. What is there not
Speaker 3: to like about you?
Speaker 4: I don't want to do that though, I don't want
Speaker 4: to look. I buy my phenails and I eat them
Speaker 4: all rights, and I put the big ones. I keep
Speaker 4: the big ones in a little box.
Speaker 1: Oh god, what.
Speaker 2: The flexibility it takes to be able to do that.
Speaker 3: We'll just work on healthier coping mechanisms. Like that's all huh.
Speaker 1: Tying to get rid of her.
Speaker 3: There's so many other things that you can chew on.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I will. I feel like he's politely as possible
Speaker 1: trying to steer you away from a bad situation.
Speaker 2: But I wasn't. To her credit, I don't know. When
Speaker 2: we talked to her, she didn't say she wanted a
Speaker 2: big relationship with you. She literally said, I just want
Speaker 2: a couple more dates.
Speaker 4: Hanging out, Like, yeah, no, I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't think you.
Speaker 3: Will nail eating baby or anything with you.

Speaker 1: on another day that we would pay for, and he
Speaker 1: probably did you halfway through for his friends. I know
Speaker 1: the answer is yes from Janelle already, so we needed
Speaker 1: to get an answer from you, David. Would you be
Speaker 1: willing to see her one more time?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 1: You know you're great. Seriously, you're great.
Speaker 4: It's not you with me.
