Speaker 3: Yeah, she doesn't mean anything that costs less than fifty
Speaker 3: dollars totally.
Speaker 4: What did you like about her?
Speaker 6: Well, so, first of all, like the first thing I
Speaker 6: noticed was she was wearing these like old Converse shoes
Speaker 6: with like doodles on them. So it just real relaxed.
Speaker 6: I didn't feel like she was trying too hard. She
Speaker 6: had to killer smile as well, So I was like, man,
Speaker 6: this is like right up my alley.
Speaker 2: That's cute, and the scene's kind of set for you.
Speaker 1: You're at a bonfire, you know, everybody looks good under
Speaker 1: bonfire light dark to see.
Speaker 6: Yeah, right, So we ended up chatting there, and then
Speaker 6: as the night was kind of getting getting done, I
Speaker 6: had asked her if she was hungry, if she wanted
Speaker 6: to go to eat, and so we went out to
Speaker 6: like a little Mexican place and.
Speaker 2: It was just you and her that went to the
Speaker 2: Mexican restaurant.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it was just the two of us. So you know,
Speaker 6: it was a real solid night and then kind of
Speaker 6: cooled down. So I had given her my jacket and
Speaker 6: I had walked her back to her car and I
Speaker 6: told her, I said, you know, just hang out of
Speaker 6: the jacket. You don't give it to me next time.
Speaker 4: Was that like a little plan for you to have it?
Speaker 4: It was a little move?
Speaker 1: Okay?
Speaker 3: Yeah? How did she react to you walking into her
Speaker 3: car and giving her the jacket?
Speaker 4: Was she like oh, thank you? Or was it like
Speaker 4: ew no? Well, I don't know.
Speaker 6: No, I mean it seemed like polite and it seemed
Speaker 6: like she was down for it.
Speaker 2: Okay, but I.
Speaker 1: Will say leaving something behind oldest trick in the book
Speaker 1: when it comes to ladies.
Speaker 2: I know that play.
Speaker 6: Well, she definitely knew it because what it is like
Speaker 6: she took the jacket to my buddy's place and dropped
Speaker 6: it off with him.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I had a game.
Speaker 4: End of the game, yea.
Speaker 3: Or she's like really sweet and it's just like, oh,
Speaker 3: make sure you give this back to your friend.
Speaker 2: No, she's not wanted to see him again.
Speaker 1: You'd be like sweet, Yeah, now I have a reason
Speaker 1: to contact him.
Speaker 6: Yeah. So I'm just wondering, you know, what's up? What's
Speaker 6: the reason that I feel like I'm getting ghosted now?
Speaker 1: I will say your impromptu date is pretty impressive. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like you were pretty smooth, like prepared with the Mexican restaurant.
Speaker 2: Made it all happen that night. That's awesome.
Speaker 6: I mean I was trying my best. I was trying
Speaker 6: my best.
Speaker 4: Okay, well, we're definitely going to try and help you
Speaker 4: here in a second. But I do feel like we
Speaker 4: need maybe a little bit more information because the way
Speaker 4: you paint it, it's almost too perfect. Like, was there
Speaker 4: anything weird, anything awkward that happened during.
Speaker 6: The night, So really, the only thing that I can
Speaker 6: think of was like around the bonfire, people were telling
Speaker 6: like scary stories and things like that, and I didn't
Speaker 6: tell when they're So while we were eating, she had
Speaker 6: asked me, what's your scary story? She asked, and I froze.
Speaker 6: And the only thing I could think of was not
Speaker 6: too long ago, the battery on my smoke detector died
Speaker 6: and it started beeping in the middle of the night,
Speaker 6: and it freaked me out.
Speaker 4: Oh isn't it more of an annoying died and was
Speaker 4: talking from the dead.
Speaker 6: Like I said, I froze, just that like, and I
Speaker 6: don't know why I told that story, but that's the
Speaker 6: story that like I went with.
Speaker 2: And but did you guys laugh about it like we
Speaker 2: just did, or she.
Speaker 6: Just kind of stared at me and like we were
Speaker 6: just eating like almost like, oh, this is a scary story,
Speaker 6: like this is a.
Speaker 4: Maybe she actually was scared by it.
Speaker 2: She was so frightened what.
Speaker 4: To say, Like it freaked her out for the entire
Speaker 4: rest of the time and now she's worried about what
Speaker 4: you might say next.
Speaker 2: Or she was hanging out a bonfire expecting to meet
Speaker 2: like a manly guy and.
Speaker 1: Excuse me, scared of you can hear what you're saying,
Speaker 1: I know, but like he knows, he knows as well,
Speaker 1: being scared of fire alarms going off.
Speaker 6: To be fair, I'm not scared of a fire alarm.
Speaker 6: I was frightened of a smoke alarm. There are two
Speaker 6: different things.
Speaker 4: Yeah, oh yeah, because where there's smoke, there's fire, and
Speaker 4: where there's fire, there's people hooking up.
Speaker 2: With him. It's just where there's smoke, there's a dead battery.
Speaker 6: Jeff.
Speaker 4: Okay, Well, now I feel like we've got the full
Speaker 4: picture of the events that unfolded there were some nice moments,
Speaker 4: there was some awkward moments. There was some bad storytelling.
Speaker 4: We'll figure out how it all comes together.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you guys blame me all the time.
Speaker 4: He's the one that said that.
Speaker 1: How does it feel, Jeff, how does it feel to
Speaker 1: be attacked for what you're saying?
Speaker 4: It feels like I'm a man and this man is
Speaker 4: going to really manly up what we Thank you, Jose.
Speaker 4: We're gonna call Alissa and try and get you your
Speaker 4: second date update right after this.
Speaker 6: Thanks you on second date update.
Speaker 4: It was the perfect first date. You had everything, a
Speaker 4: romantic bonfire, tasty Mexican food, even a little clothing swap
Speaker 4: action right hello. He tried, that is until Dan made
Speaker 4: his fatal mistake when he told his scariest story about
Speaker 4: a smoke detector that ran low on battery and wouldn't stop.
Speaker 2: Don't repeat it, Jeb, I'm gonna have nightmares forever. I know.
Speaker 4: Sorry. It should have earmuffed the children and the replacement
Speaker 4: batteries were nowhere to be found. Now that Dan admits
Speaker 4: wasn't his best moment. He kind of panic though, couldn't
Speaker 4: think of a scary story on the spot.
Speaker 1: I wish he could have laughed it off like that
Speaker 1: would have made it okay, you know what I mean
Speaker 1: if you that was a moment for you to be
Speaker 1: self deprecating.
Speaker 2: That was just missed.
Speaker 4: But that shouldn't be so bad that Becca returned his
Speaker 4: jacket the next day to his friend rather than give
Speaker 4: it to Dan face to face. You get scared, for real, buddy.
Speaker 2: Maybe it wasn't that.
Speaker 1: Maybe Dan, it was that you weren't responsible enough to
Speaker 1: replace the batteries every year.
Speaker 4: What do you think about that?
Speaker 7: Dan?
Speaker 4: You come across like any responsible guy.
Speaker 6: That's maybe that's exactly that's what it is.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, maybe, yes.
Speaker 1: My dad tells me to do it on New Year's
Speaker 1: Day because then you'll never forget that's your battery, change
Speaker 1: your tradition.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, this segment has officially hit a new low.
Speaker 2: Battery advice from Brooks.
Speaker 4: Dawn call in, you need some batteries. Let's talk batteries. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 4: smoke detectors. Dan, are you ready to call back here?
Speaker 4: We we got to move forward from this, right Dan?
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm ready. Let let's make it happen.
Speaker 4: We'll just make him relive his trauma over and over again.
Speaker 1: I was going to go to carbon monoxide collar. Okay,
Speaker 1: you's got to make sure you have those as well. Okay,
Speaker 1: save it for new it's a silent killer.
Speaker 4: Let's just go here we go. Just calling Becca right now? Hello, Hey,
Speaker 4: is this Becca who said? Hey, this is a radio show.
Speaker 4: We're called Brook and Jeffrey in the Morning.
Speaker 3: Hey, Baca, good morning.
Speaker 7: Is this really a radio show?
Speaker 4: Yeah? I know, we exist a joke we're doing. We
Speaker 4: are also a podcast if you wanted to know. We're
Speaker 4: doing a p s A where we're calling everybody in
Speaker 4: the area to make sure that they have changed the
Speaker 4: batteries inside of their smoke detectors in their home. Have
Speaker 4: you done that?
Speaker 7: I don't need to do that.
Speaker 4: Oh okay, Oh you live in an apartment like me.
Speaker 4: They change our batteries for us. That must be nice,
Speaker 4: because apparently that wasn't the case with the guy you
Speaker 4: went out with recently named Dan.
Speaker 2: Okay, sideways for her like she doesn't know where? Yeah,
Speaker 2: hard left.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Yeah, we know the guy Dan that you met
Speaker 4: at the b on Fire recently.
Speaker 7: Oh that guy.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so he reached out to us about doing this
Speaker 4: thing called a second date update. We're trying to help
Speaker 4: him figure out why after you two hung out at
Speaker 4: the Mexican restaurant and had a pretty good time together,
Speaker 4: you are not talking to him anymore?
Speaker 7: Okay, Okay.
Speaker 1: I think he feels like you really avoided him because
Speaker 1: you even brought his jacket back to his buddy instead
Speaker 1: of giving it back to him.
Speaker 7: That was kind of a smooth move, but it kind
Speaker 7: of backfired.
Speaker 4: Why you said the jacket backfired?
Speaker 7: Yeah, Well, I put my hand in the pocket when
Speaker 7: I got home and I found a receipt that was
Speaker 7: from earlier in the morning, the day of that same party,
Speaker 7: and it was from a grocery store, but it was
Speaker 7: for Cotex and Pampons.
Speaker 1: Oh mail product, Yeah, feminine hygie products.
Speaker 3: How you say it?
Speaker 7: I don't even know how to say feminine hygiene products.
Speaker 1: Okay, So you're thinking, I mean I would automatically jump
Speaker 1: to he's in a relationship.
Speaker 7: Yeah, thank you exactly. So I called my friend who
Speaker 7: was the host of that party, and I was like,
Speaker 7: do you know his deal? Like, what is going on?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 7: And we were like trying to figure it out. Oh, honestly,
Speaker 7: we have no clue.
Speaker 2: Why wouldn't you just ask him? Then?
Speaker 6: Oh it's a lie.
Speaker 2: If she just asks him.
Speaker 1: But why would he he contacted us a huge public
Speaker 1: radio show.
Speaker 4: Oh that's kind of over selling it.
Speaker 7: Well, I'd mean, yeah, that would be weird. So I
Speaker 7: don't know. Maybe you can ask him.
Speaker 4: I mean, obviously he had no idea that she would
Speaker 4: be finding that receipt. He didn't like leave it their
Speaker 4: own person.
Speaker 1: It was totally innocent, and he doesn't care, like it
Speaker 1: didn't even cross his mind.
Speaker 2: He has a female roommate.
Speaker 4: Yeah, let's not like come up with the answers that
Speaker 4: we're going to give it to him so we could
Speaker 4: use it. Because he is on the phone right now.
Speaker 2: I thought he was tracking his mother's cycle.
Speaker 7: No wait for radio show or is this like a
Speaker 7: prank with his friends?
Speaker 4: No, No, he really is listening on the other line
Speaker 4: waiting to talk to you.
Speaker 7: Are you serious?
Speaker 4: Yeah, Dan, this is your moment jumping anytime.
Speaker 6: Hey Becca, So, uh, it's for my mom.
Speaker 1: The way you said, it's really why wouldn't you immediately
Speaker 1: just say I'm single, I'm so.
Speaker 6: Sorry I am single. And it was for my cousin.
Speaker 4: We just and your voice keeps going up every time
Speaker 4: you say these things, Dan.
Speaker 6: Okay, it was it was it was for my sister.
Speaker 2: Nokay, now you're not being honest.
Speaker 4: Stop messing around. What's really going on.
Speaker 7: Let's be straight with us.
Speaker 2: Yes, I like that we're together now with a listener.
Speaker 7: We're a unit now.
Speaker 4: O God are well. I'm glad that we have you
Speaker 4: as a listener now, Becca, But I still want to
Speaker 4: hear from Dan about what's going on.
Speaker 6: Okay, Hey, you know I said the other people because
Speaker 6: I'm kind of nervous. I feel like I feel like
Speaker 6: the real answer is worse in a way, worse.
Speaker 2: Than being in a relationship.
Speaker 6: WHOA, So here's the I am single. Uh, it's relatively recent,
Speaker 6: Like my ex girlfriend and I still talk and occasionally,
Speaker 6: like I will go over and see her. And it
Speaker 6: just so happened that she had asked me before I
Speaker 6: went to go see her earlier that day, that I
Speaker 6: stopped at the store and pick up some stuff for her.
Speaker 4: What is His voice didn't go up at the end, though,
Speaker 4: so that I feel.
Speaker 1: Like when he says recently single, he's like, well, I
Speaker 1: literally am just texting her right now to bring up
Speaker 1: with her.
Speaker 2: Why would you be going over to see your ex frequently?
Speaker 6: I mean, because I'm single?
Speaker 7: Yeah, they're like friends with benefits now, Like, yeah, I.
Speaker 6: Mean, yeah, that's it pretty much at this point.
Speaker 4: Okay, so you've bended the relationship but haven't fully detached.
Speaker 2: That's messy for beck to join it. Well, does Becky
Speaker 2: even believe that?
Speaker 1: I mean, do you believe that he's fully single even
Speaker 1: though I mean.
Speaker 2: Obviously he still has some ties with his ex?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 4: And if you do believe it, how does it make
Speaker 4: you feel to hear that?
Speaker 7: Well, honestly, I'm kind of in a similar situation.
Speaker 2: There's some truth. So what you're hooking up with your
Speaker 2: ex too?
Speaker 7: Well, I'm single. He and I are broken up, but
Speaker 7: occasionally we'll still, you know, like have dinner and oh
Speaker 7: we've become like friends with benefits.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, you guys know each other and you trust
Speaker 4: each other.
Speaker 1: But having dinner and then staying it sounds like a date,
Speaker 1: you know, like that's not just.
Speaker 3: A little more intimate romantic than just elevated friends with Benneft.
Speaker 7: Well, I guess my question would be, if you are
Speaker 7: actively dating someone else, are you still going to be
Speaker 7: friends with benefits with your ex?
Speaker 6: I mean, if I'm dating someone and we're exclusive, we're exclusive.
Speaker 6: That's the way it is.
Speaker 2: So are we both giving up our exes to go
Speaker 2: on another date?
Speaker 4: You should probably introduce your exes to each other because
Speaker 4: there might be a connection every up.
Speaker 2: Well, they don't want to ruin their fallback plan, Jeff.
Speaker 7: I would definitely be willing to stop seeing my ex
Speaker 7: if I was dating someone.
Speaker 2: So well, that's cute.
Speaker 4: Okay, I mean, wow, Dan, aren't you glad that you
Speaker 4: didn't stick with your whole sister? Answer? That definitely wouldn't work.
Speaker 6: Yeah, friends, Yeah, I didn't know what she'd think about it.
Speaker 6: It is the truth, okay.
Speaker 4: Okay, Well, in that case, we would like to offer
Speaker 4: to send you to out on another date, and Becca,
Speaker 4: if you say yes, we are willing to pay for it.
Speaker 7: Well yes, oh.
Speaker 1: Man, you could be in a relationship soon with a
Speaker 1: sweet man who will do all of your errand running
Speaker 1: for you.
Speaker 3: That is nice.
Speaker 7: I do love that. Can we go for massages?
Speaker 6: Wait?
Speaker 2: What do you want us to pay for massages?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 2: Girl, this is like a dinner date.
Speaker 7: Okay, yeah, dinner date is a better idea.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 7: I was just a little I jumped ahead.
Speaker 1: What gift certificates we had available?
Speaker 4: Then you can be in charge of the massage. Itself, like, right, okay,
Speaker 4: just don't let any romantic candles around it with that
Speaker 4: smoke detector.
Speaker 6: That dude, I won't wait until New Years to change
Speaker 6: the smoke detect batteries for you.
Speaker 4: I don't think she heard that part of the segment,
Speaker 4: so she doesn't know what you're talking about.
Speaker 2: That was scared. Yeah, freaking Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 6: Wow.
Speaker 4: I have never seen a random grocery store or receipt
Speaker 4: bring two people together like this did.
Speaker 2: But I think just say it was tampons that brought
Speaker 2: them together.
Speaker 4: Really, it's amazing it bonded them. They need to actually
Speaker 4: like save that receipt, put it up in a picture
Speaker 4: frame as a keepsake, a reminder of this moment.
Speaker 1: No, I mean, we'll see how easily they cut off
Speaker 1: their exits before we get into a full relationship for them.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is.
Speaker 4: It is funny that they were both still messing around
Speaker 4: with their exes, not just one. They're both guilty of it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean when you're single. Yeah they are. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Well, it is a good life hack for all the
Speaker 4: ladies out there to get your excees to buy your
Speaker 4: hygiene products.
Speaker 1: So expensive they are, they're ridiculous, right, Just so you
Speaker 1: know that's why.
Speaker 4: You want to There you go, you learn something, and
