Speaker 2: Spotify recommended second date updates under the relationship advice section.

Speaker 4: world today self awareness?
Speaker 2: Hey neighbor, Oh.
Speaker 1: Why don't you wear the neighbor?
Speaker 5: If you're talking to was it quite sure?
Speaker 3: Why to respond that way?
Speaker 2: It would be a yes, But it's more fun to say.
Speaker 3: That, yeah it is.
Speaker 1: You didn't need the sultry part of it. Though, like, neighbor,
Speaker 1: is your wife out right?
Speaker 6: Now?
Speaker 4: Aware it's a little much, but yeah, self awareness. It
Speaker 4: just it feels like kind of a rare thing nowadays.
Speaker 2: Oh man. It doesn't exist on social media, that's for sure,
Speaker 2: or on the show.
Speaker 4: But one of our listeners, Leon has it because he
Speaker 4: messaged us saying he believes he knows why he's being
Speaker 4: blown off because he is an unabashed love bombers how
Speaker 4: he rolls and maybe it's not for everybody, but it's
Speaker 4: his preferred style.
Speaker 1: So Leon, welcome to the show.
Speaker 4: Man.
Speaker 5: Hey, thanks for having me.
Speaker 2: Okay, are you proud of being a love bomber?
Speaker 7: Yeah, definitely.
Speaker 8: I mean, I just think it's my natural style. I
Speaker 8: like going over the top for girls, and Okay.
Speaker 6: If we're being honest with each other, I'm not getting
Speaker 6: a ton of matches out there, so the ones that
Speaker 6: I am getting, I really want to go over the
Speaker 6: top and really try to connect with them.
Speaker 2: All right, Right, I'm excited to hear what he did.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we'll get to the love bomb fest in just
Speaker 4: a second.
Speaker 1: But tell us first about this lady that you met.
Speaker 1: What's her name? Where'd you meet her?
Speaker 8: Her name is Angela and I just met her at
Speaker 8: the grocery store the other day, and she.
Speaker 2: Was so cute.
Speaker 7: She had like auburn hair and green eyes.
Speaker 8: She was really beautiful, interesting, but I worked up the
Speaker 8: courage to ask her out.
Speaker 2: Grocery store meetup is a love bomber's dream, right, what
Speaker 2: do you mean? It's just like every rom com ever,
Speaker 2: and love bombers love to live out the.
Speaker 1: End up in my card, I think it is for
Speaker 1: you exactly.
Speaker 4: You're talking about a bag of flower I guess, yeah,
Speaker 4: that is kind of romantic.
Speaker 8: It was actually a bag of avocados.
Speaker 1: Wow, twenty four hours, I know, just drop like a
Speaker 1: stack of hundreds in front of her, don't you do?
Speaker 2: You know what I mean? Bag of avocados You had
Speaker 2: to squished before you found the perfect one.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, already you've put a lot of effort in
Speaker 4: more than most memoirs this roman.
Speaker 1: Let's get to the actual day. What did you do
Speaker 1: when you met up?
Speaker 8: Well, we just got coffee and wasn't that long either,
Speaker 8: We only had like twenty minutes.
Speaker 7: She you know, she's high class.
Speaker 5: She has a really good job.
Speaker 7: I don't even understand her job.
Speaker 8: She's clearly very smart.
Speaker 1: How cool it is.
Speaker 2: I have so many friends like that, where they probably
Speaker 2: eight hundred times what they do.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, I.
Speaker 3: Have no idea, zero follow up questions.
Speaker 4: Yeah, cool, all right, that's nicer dating a smart lady.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 8: In that time, I could just tell that we were vibing.
Speaker 8: I was making her laugh. I don't know, she's like
Speaker 8: sort of touching my hand a little bit.
Speaker 3: That's good.
Speaker 1: Wow, she touched your hand. That's really good, touching it
Speaker 1: or swatting it away.
Speaker 5: You're basically like strangers at this point.
Speaker 2: You've never even talked, which is why I think twenty
Speaker 2: minutes is okay. It's almost like a pre date that
Speaker 2: you you know, it's like a screener.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, well give us the big like highlight moment
Speaker 4: from the coffee date.
Speaker 7: I don't know. We were talking about how booth of
Speaker 7: our therapists also need therapy, but we both were talking.
Speaker 8: About how much we believe in therapy overall.
Speaker 7: She's very fashionable.
Speaker 8: We were talking about our outfits and at the end
Speaker 8: I didn't try to kiss there, but there was like
Speaker 8: a long hug, okay, like where she.
Speaker 2: Was also holding you.
Speaker 5: Yeah, this is where his love.
Speaker 3: Bombing comes in.
Speaker 7: Yeah, and then I said I'd reach out and we
Speaker 7: left it at that.
Speaker 2: Okay, Okay, so it doesn't sound like you keep saying
Speaker 2: you love you're like into love bombing. But all of
Speaker 2: this sounds really normal.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I'm a little exaggerated.
Speaker 7: Well, I did do a few things afterwards.
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, okay, what'd you do?
Speaker 7: I don't know. Maybe she thought I overdid it, but
Speaker 7: I'm not sorry. I posted the Instagram story of the
Speaker 7: city skyline and I captioned it today felt different, and
Speaker 7: I tagged her in it.
Speaker 3: Oh do you think that's that bad?
Speaker 5: He found her on instad and then tapped her and stuff.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but he didn't post a picture of her that
Speaker 2: she didn't know was taken.
Speaker 1: I mean, that doesn't sound too bad. What was there more?
Speaker 8: I also created a Spotify playlist titled US, and I
Speaker 8: texted it.
Speaker 2: There, No, this is like what my angsty self did
Speaker 2: at sixteen for boys that I like.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you can always come back from them being like
Speaker 4: I met like us, like the USA United States.
Speaker 1: Yes, I'm not weird and clinging. Yeah, Okay, he's.
Speaker 2: Not apologetic, chef. He's not going to make excuses.
Speaker 1: No, and you should.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm not sorry about it. I mean US means.
Speaker 2: Us, okay, but there's no US yet when you've only
Speaker 2: spent twenty minutes with someone, that's kind of the problem.
Speaker 1: I think.
Speaker 2: I think that a lot of people would appreciate what
Speaker 2: you're doing once you're in a relationship together.
Speaker 1: Okash, Was that the end of the love bombing or
Speaker 1: is there any more?
Speaker 7: I mean afterwards, I've been calling her and I spent
Speaker 7: multiple text messages.
Speaker 5: I was just not getting any feedback from her.
Speaker 1: That's not bad.
Speaker 4: Tax collectors do that to me, and I don't think
Speaker 4: that's love bombing.
Speaker 2: So I mean, I don't mean to be mean because
Speaker 2: I think your heart is in the right place, but
Speaker 2: you're kind of scaring her. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Well, you know what we'll find out from her if
Speaker 4: she picks up the phone, Yeah, with to call Angela
Speaker 4: and figure out if he crossed her line. Yeah, because
Speaker 4: if she was reciprocating their love bombing back and forth,
Speaker 4: it'd be a different story.
Speaker 1: Yes, So, how long has it been since the coffee date?
Speaker 5: That was two and a half weeks ago?
Speaker 6: Oh?
Speaker 2: I think the better question is how long has it
Speaker 2: been since the last voicemail you left her?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 8: That was three hours ago.
Speaker 1: Okay, no, it's the morning.
Speaker 4: What the She's probably not up yet, that's why she
Speaker 4: didn't answer. He had. Yes, this is a big misunderstanding.
Speaker 4: I'm sure, Leon, and we're going to clear it all
Speaker 4: up when we call Angela for your second date update
Speaker 4: right after this hold.
Speaker 3: On second date update.
Speaker 4: If you're just joining us, our listener, Leon told us
Speaker 4: that he is a self proclaimed love bomber.
Speaker 1: Proudly yes.
Speaker 4: What does that mean after his twenty minute coffee date
Speaker 4: with Angela, Well, it means he left her multiple voicemails,
Speaker 4: countless text messages, and even created a Spotify playlist titled
Speaker 4: us and he is not sorry about it, because when
Speaker 4: Leon feels it's right, he is going to go for
Speaker 4: it full force and drop a love nuke right on you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, get nobody likes nuclear bombs. I mean that's a yeah.
Speaker 4: Oppenheimer was kind of a But unfortunately we're not sure
Speaker 4: Angela survived the love bombing because she stopped responding altogether.
Speaker 4: It's not looking great, but in an exercise of optimism here,
Speaker 4: there's always the chance she's building up her own romantic
Speaker 4: arsenal to love bomb you right back.
Speaker 1: Did you think about that, Leon, that is really optimistic.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I did not that would be great.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean you got a lot to live up to,
Speaker 1: so it could take some time.
Speaker 2: Here's the question. If it was too much for her,
Speaker 2: are you willing to tone it down until you're in
Speaker 2: a actual relationship with the other person.
Speaker 7: I yeah, yes, I don't know.
Speaker 2: You're asking him to change himself, to change himself. I'm
Speaker 2: just asking him to like.
Speaker 1: To be a different person. No, you're not a different person.
Speaker 2: You can still be romantic. It's just maybe little doses
Speaker 2: instead of all at Wan.
Speaker 4: Tone down love bombers possible.
Speaker 1: Yeah, fortunately, it's just not very healthy.
Speaker 4: You don't have to take advice from Brooks. She's been
Speaker 4: stuck in a marriage for like fifteen Okay, don't try that. Okay,
Speaker 4: let's just go. We're about to call her and brook
Speaker 4: if she does answer, should we bring up the love
Speaker 4: bombing to her? Because normally I would say no, let's
Speaker 4: try to avoid this, but it's so out there, so frequent,
Speaker 4: I don't think we can get around it.
Speaker 2: After the playlist titled us, it's something we can't yeah,
Speaker 2: shy away from. It'll feel better to know that he
Speaker 2: is self aware of it. Honestly, like that. Yeah, that
Speaker 2: might actually change her mind on the whole thing.
Speaker 1: I'll just try not to use the term love bomb.
Speaker 2: What are you going to say?
Speaker 1: I know, well it's I'll just say some nice gestures.
Speaker 1: We'll see how that goes on. Okay, let's see. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we'll see if she even answers. I'm a dollar number
Speaker 1: right now. Let's do this.
Speaker 5: Hello.
Speaker 1: Hi is this Angela?
Speaker 5: This is Angela who's calling.
Speaker 1: We're a radio show. We're called Brook and Jeffrey in
Speaker 1: the Morning.
Speaker 8: Hi.
Speaker 1: Good morning, Oh.
Speaker 2: God, I don't want to Hi, good morning.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: We are very excited to get to talk to you
Speaker 4: because we've we've actually heard a lot about you.
Speaker 5: Hey, okay, he's in a good mood.
Speaker 3: Guy.
Speaker 4: Hopefully this keeps going because one of our listeners has
Speaker 4: asked us to.
Speaker 1: Get a hold of you. A guy you went on
Speaker 1: a date with named Leon.
Speaker 5: Oh God, that guy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, he's a funny dude.
Speaker 5: Huh, he's a lot I mean, he's a lot of something.
Speaker 4: Okay, all right, okay, interesting character or what interesting is
Speaker 4: a good word for it.
Speaker 1: You are being very very polite, Angela.
Speaker 2: That's great, that's great. I mean, honestly, I'm just glad
Speaker 2: you're not scared.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, let's not start there with that word.
Speaker 3: It worried, Yeah, it was.
Speaker 1: We were curious. We were curious.
Speaker 4: About what you think of Leon in the two and
Speaker 4: a half weeks since your date ended, because we've heard
Speaker 4: a lots happened.
Speaker 5: I mean I pretty much knew. I mean we only
Speaker 5: met for like maybe thirty minutes our date, but like
Speaker 5: I mean, I knew during the date that it wasn't
Speaker 5: gonna work out.
Speaker 2: Oh oh no, Oh you didn't want to take it
Speaker 2: any further then, huh.
Speaker 5: No, And he has been calling and texting a lot.
Speaker 4: Okay, don't take hints, by the way, totally, but if
Speaker 4: you don't mind me asking, Angela, can you tell us
Speaker 4: what happened like on the date.
Speaker 5: I mean it honestly, it started like right away, like
Speaker 5: you know, we were meeting for coffee, and he got
Speaker 5: there early to get us a seat or whatever. So
Speaker 5: like he saw me pull in, you know, I got
Speaker 5: one of those money spots right in front, and I
Speaker 5: get out, and you know, he gives me a hug
Speaker 5: or whatever when I come in, and he was like, oh,
Speaker 5: that's a nice car. How did you afford that? Are
Speaker 5: you an only vans.
Speaker 2: What Oh wow, that's what he said.
Speaker 5: Was literally that was the greeting are you on only?
Speaker 5: Like at one point I complimented his jacket and he said,
Speaker 5: I don't usually dress up, but I have court today
Speaker 5: and he's not a lawyer, and I was like, why
Speaker 5: are you going to court? Because that's what you do
Speaker 5: when somebody said that.
Speaker 2: I know, and You're just like loaded question.
Speaker 5: You know, you wouldn't tell me. He was like, no,
Speaker 5: I don't want to talk about it. And I was like,
Speaker 5: you said it, yes, yeah.
Speaker 2: Why would you say the court part?
Speaker 1: Yeah, things are to become a little more clear.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was a lot well and then okay, well
Speaker 5: and then like the kicker for.
Speaker 3: Me was there more Okay, okay.
Speaker 5: So we're roles in therapy, which was open about that,
Speaker 5: and so like that's good. Yeah, Like he told me
Speaker 5: that his therapist told him that he needs to stop
Speaker 5: proposing to girls on dates.
Speaker 3: Oh wow.
Speaker 5: As he's staring deeply into my eyes, so I start sweating,
Speaker 5: like I'm thinking, oh my god, he's got a proposal.
Speaker 1: Well, how is that a bad thing?
Speaker 4: What?
Speaker 5: Jeff?
Speaker 1: It feels the attraction to you so strongly that he
Speaker 1: wants to get down on a knee. It's like a
Speaker 1: Jeff is being sarcastic.
Speaker 5: Okay, that's crazy.
Speaker 4: Okay, well this is clearly a lot. But you know
Speaker 4: what's not crazy is a man who loves love and
Speaker 4: a man who loves listening on the other phone line
Speaker 4: while we have a conversation on the radio. That man
Speaker 4: would be Leon, and he is here.
Speaker 1: At the moment.
Speaker 2: Hi, Angela, Oh Hi, that's not too much of a surprise, honestly,
Speaker 2: this guy.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean it's uh, it's been a lot. The
Speaker 5: texting and the calling is a lot. The Spotify playlist
Speaker 5: labeled us now a lot.
Speaker 7: I get it.
Speaker 5: See the only fans thing is weird.
Speaker 7: Okay, the only fan It was a lot.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Oh, he can explain it, he says, Okay, because
Speaker 4: we need to go through these things that you said
Speaker 4: to her on the date, Leon, They're they're pretty shocking.
Speaker 7: I mean it was kind of a joke, but I
Speaker 7: also just meant it as a compliment. I mean, the
Speaker 7: girls in there are like gorgeous millionaires.
Speaker 2: Okay, Leoni, Now, we don't want to admit to someone
Speaker 2: we're dating that we spend a lot of time.
Speaker 5: I read about it.
Speaker 2: You recovery.
Speaker 1: He's so, he's so versed.
Speaker 2: Did we jump to the court?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 7: Yeah, date?
Speaker 1: What was going on? You said you had court that day?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Doesn't everybody have court? I mean, like what I.
Speaker 1: Were you a juror?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 2: But what.
Speaker 1: Well doesn't you can't play the theoretical game.
Speaker 4: And we don't have a lot of time here, But
Speaker 4: I do have to ask you about your therapist warning
Speaker 4: you not to propose.
Speaker 1: To women like on first dates. Is this is this
Speaker 1: a thing you do.
Speaker 7: On first dates?
Speaker 8: It's happened on like third dates.
Speaker 7: Jesus, you guys are making me sound weird or something.
Speaker 7: I just myself and I love love.
Speaker 2: Okay, this is the point where we encourage you to
Speaker 2: listen to your therapist.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I am listening to my therapists, and I feel
Speaker 7: like she would want me to ask you, didn't you
Speaker 7: feel anything when we were together? Weren't you having a
Speaker 7: good time?
Speaker 5: I mean I felt nervous. I suppose.
Speaker 7: That's totally fair. I told you that. I mean, of course,
Speaker 7: you're entitled to feel however you want, because I'm feeling
Speaker 7: however I want.
Speaker 5: Okay, But why then does me not responding to text
Speaker 5: and call not let you know how I feel.
Speaker 7: I appreciate when people are direct with me.
Speaker 8: That's all.
Speaker 5: For some reason, I have a hard time believing that
Speaker 5: that would actually work with you. But correctly, I'm saying
Speaker 5: not into it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, because despite what Leon's therapist suggests, I'm going to
Speaker 4: propose that the two of you go out on another date.
Speaker 2: Well said, just one more man who can't understand what
Speaker 2: you're trying to say.
Speaker 4: Angela, I'm legally obligated, not a court way, but I
Speaker 4: am obligated to ask you if you'd like to see
Speaker 4: each other one more time, and we'd pay for it.
Speaker 1: Angela, it's up to you.
Speaker 5: No, I don't want to do that.
Speaker 1: I am absolutely shocked. I did not see this coming, Angela.
Speaker 2: Leon did you hear her?
Speaker 7: I heard her.
Speaker 8: I respect it, and I don't want to dance with
Speaker 8: somebody who doesn't want to dance with me.
Speaker 1: That was a lyric from his Spotify playlist. I hope
Speaker 1: she got there.
Speaker 3: Brook and Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 1: It's funny.
Speaker 4: The love bombing part actually had nothing to do with
Speaker 4: her saying no to another date.
Speaker 2: I mean, he's starting just being rude.
Speaker 4: She'd already said no in her mind before it to
Speaker 4: be fair. But you know, if you're a romantic person
Speaker 4: at heart and you like doing things for other people,
Speaker 4: I think that's good. But on dates one through three
Speaker 4: you really have to resist. And not just the proposing
Speaker 4: like Leon loves to do, I mean on all of it.
Speaker 1: You gotta hold back because it's too much, too soon. Yeah, society,
Speaker 1: it's you can't do it.
Speaker 2: Oh, it's never been good.
Speaker 1: It's exactly, and it's healthy.
Speaker 2: You know, it's healthy to develop a connection with someone
Speaker 2: before you drop down on one knee and a coffee shop.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's good thought.
Speaker 4: Ironically, the people who enjoy love bombing the most are
Speaker 4: the ones working on only fans and apparently he just
Speaker 4: read about it.
Speaker 2: So.
Speaker 1: Yeah, kind of doom from the start.
Speaker 4: But look, if you want to go to Spotify and
Speaker 4: check out our podcast or this new playlist I just
Speaker 4: made called them for Leon and Angela, go find us,
Speaker 4: type in Brook and Jeffrey and subscribe wherever you get
Speaker 4: your podcasts.
