Speaker 1: Second date, up date.
Speaker 2: Grand romantic gestures on a first date good or bad idea.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go bad.
Speaker 1: Romantic.
Speaker 2: I think you're Maybe it does depend on the gesture.
Speaker 2: Like carving your initials into a tree.
Speaker 3: Sweet, no, terrible for the tree, just stop face.
Speaker 1: Tree, just for the relationship, plant seats and.
Speaker 4: Thank you.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: Maybe carving initials of all your former victims into the tree,
Speaker 2: maybe that one's not so sweet?
Speaker 1: Why are they victims of the tree?
Speaker 3: Is also a victim at that point.
Speaker 1: You have to remember them somehow.
Speaker 2: But one of our listeners, Patrick, says he's worried that
Speaker 2: his grand romantic gesture may have accidentally backfired on it.
Speaker 2: We'll get to that in just a second, but first, Patrick,
Speaker 2: welcome to the show.
Speaker 4: Hey guys, how are you doing.
Speaker 3: It's always like kind of cringey waiting to hear what
Speaker 3: you did? What I don't know.
Speaker 5: It's just like outside of maybe even flowers, feels like
Speaker 5: pushing it on the brook.
Speaker 2: You're already hating on all romantic gestures in any form.
Speaker 1: We haven't even heard what he did. Something really really nice.
Speaker 1: A firm handshake and an eye contact. Hello, there, be
Speaker 1: careful with the eye contact. I don't want to be roman.
Speaker 3: What did you do? Actually, who did you go out with?
Speaker 3: That's where we should start, right, Yeah, what's her name?
Speaker 4: So her name's Ashley. We met up online. Man, I'll
Speaker 4: tell you she's so beautiful, Like she had the most
Speaker 4: insane smile.
Speaker 2: That's sweet, an insane smile, like.
Speaker 4: A kind of jokers smile. But then with the tattoos.
Speaker 4: That really did it for me.
Speaker 1: Are you being serious?
Speaker 4: Totally kidding? Okay, I mean insane in that, Like you
Speaker 4: don't see this smile every day?
Speaker 3: Oh that's really nice. I look a great smile.
Speaker 5: Can I just ask you on your dating profile did
Speaker 5: she have any inkling that you were some sort of
Speaker 5: romantic person?
Speaker 3: Would you describe yourself that way? Can't people describe themselves
Speaker 3: that way? They can, I just don't swipe to them.
Speaker 3: But maybe she would like.
Speaker 4: It, you know, No, I don't. I don't like describe
Speaker 4: myself as a romantic or anything like that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so she didn't know it's coming either.
Speaker 2: I think the key to a grand romantic gesture is
Speaker 2: to be surprising someone with it, not telling people. I'm
Speaker 2: gonna surprise you with a grand romantic gesture.
Speaker 1: That's a good point.
Speaker 3: How many surprises on a first date have we heard
Speaker 3: that ends?
Speaker 1: Well, Well, if they're.
Speaker 2: Coming to us, there's got to be a good one, though,
Speaker 2: tell us that you came up with a good one, Patrick, Well,
Speaker 2: I think so.
Speaker 4: So basically, we talked for a few days. Right, we
Speaker 4: go out to this like mom and pop pizza shop
Speaker 4: because our chemistry seemed like it was really good. Okay, okay,
Speaker 4: invite her out to this place, right, literally the best
Speaker 4: pizza I've ever had.
Speaker 5: Got nice, dude, So what was it like when you
Speaker 5: first saw Well.
Speaker 4: Like I said, her smile was insane. It made me
Speaker 4: want to go crazy.
Speaker 1: Oh that's a sweet comment to you.
Speaker 5: It sounds a little psychotic because he keeps using the
Speaker 5: word insane, but I know what he means, and I
Speaker 5: just think it's nice, like a welcoming, beautiful smile.
Speaker 1: Her beautiful eyes made me want to have a mental.
Speaker 2: Breakdown, truly, that isgest Okay, what was the grand romantic gesture?
Speaker 4: Though?
Speaker 1: I want to know.
Speaker 4: So, as we're like walking into this pizza place, there's
Speaker 4: this guy that's selling flowers on the corner, And like
Speaker 4: I said, I'm not really one to be romantic, but
Speaker 4: it felt right and when you're walking by, You're like,
Speaker 4: that seems like a nice idea.
Speaker 1: Okay, get her some flowers.
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, So he's sewing these bouquets like twenty bucks.
Speaker 1: That's a lot of money.
Speaker 4: I only had fifteen bucks.
Speaker 1: You, Oh no, whatould you do?
Speaker 3: Ask you to spot your five bucks so she could
Speaker 3: get her some flowers?
Speaker 2: Hey, buddy, why don't you take like sixteen petals off?
Speaker 4: So she even offered to like give me the other
Speaker 4: five bucks.
Speaker 3: You can't help you openly said.
Speaker 4: No, she offered, first of all. Second of all, I said, no, okay,
Speaker 4: what is like? I will give you one red rose
Speaker 4: for fifteen bucks, which feels like an even worse idea
Speaker 4: on a first date. Red roses or like love. And
Speaker 4: I'm not trying to be weird about it. I just
Speaker 4: thought it was nice. I don't know.
Speaker 3: So you did it. You spent the fifteen dollars in
Speaker 3: one red rose.
Speaker 2: Twenty minutes later intogling for some flowers looking us friendship.
Speaker 5: I think we need to go back to the definition
Speaker 5: of grand romantic because it doesn't it doesn't fall under it.
Speaker 1: What did you end up doing?
Speaker 4: So clearly this is going really really well so far,
Speaker 4: so that you'll. We ended up doing was ten bucks
Speaker 4: for this wilted bouquet, and the flowers did not look great.
Speaker 4: I will.
Speaker 1: Count.
Speaker 3: Did she laugh? I mean, did you guys make it
Speaker 3: a joke? How did she react?
Speaker 4: I felt like she at least appreciated it. Like I said,
Speaker 4: the pizza was really the biggest thing. So we still
Speaker 4: go in have the best pizza that she says she's
Speaker 4: ever had. I asked her to go back to mine
Speaker 4: because things were going so well. I may have said goodbye.
Speaker 1: The next morning, flowers got a lot more wilted because
Speaker 1: the room is so hot.
Speaker 3: Nobody was a humid, sticky room.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Well it's been three days now. That long, but
Speaker 4: long enough where I'm like, where what happened? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Long enough, that's a good way to put it.
Speaker 3: And she hasn't texted you back at all, so I'm here.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: Well, if the flower's gesture didn't seal the deal, then
Speaker 2: maybe the gesture of getting a phone call from a
Speaker 2: radio station, maybe that'll help push her over.
Speaker 4: The that's pretty crossed my fingers, guys, I don't know.
Speaker 3: If it's romantic.
Speaker 1: We'll find out.
Speaker 2: We're going to do your second date update, right, after
Speaker 2: this second date update.
Speaker 1: Great pizza, twenty.
Speaker 2: Dollars, stimulating conversation. Zero dollars and a bushel of badly
Speaker 2: wilted flowers should be priceless, but they cost ten bucks. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and Patrick, our listener, paid it, and it actually worked
Speaker 2: out for him because Ashley stayed the night over at
Speaker 2: his place.
Speaker 1: But after three days now she's not calling back. We're
Speaker 1: calling so soon.
Speaker 3: I'm just so worried they were too eager.
Speaker 1: There's no such thing as being too eager in love.
Speaker 1: Yeah there is.
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, don't quote me on that actual, but we're
Speaker 2: going to try and find out if there's a solid
Speaker 2: reason for why Ashley has broke off communication.
Speaker 1: Patrick, how are you feeling.
Speaker 4: I'm a little bit bummed out. I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 4: I'm confused.
Speaker 3: I mean, it may not be a loss yet weked about.
Speaker 3: It's only three days. Maybe she's just busy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but zero nothing not high.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, and after ten dollars of wilted flowers, at
Speaker 2: least something an explanation. At least, let's try and get
Speaker 2: something out of her.
Speaker 4: Here.
Speaker 1: Are you ready?
Speaker 4: Yeah? I am ready, And you know I see that
Speaker 4: she's gotten my text message, so they've they've been delivered.
Speaker 4: She hasn't blocked me. So, like you're saying, it's not completely.
Speaker 3: Thought that crossed your mind, you can see or if
Speaker 3: it's like seen.
Speaker 5: Maybe heys like that happened to you in the past.
Speaker 3: Now somewhat concerned, like I know when.
Speaker 1: I've been blowed.
Speaker 4: Yeah, dating aps are weird, man, that's what's weird.
Speaker 1: We can all agree on that. Let's see what she
Speaker 1: has to say though.
Speaker 4: Here we go.
Speaker 1: Hello, Hey, is this Ashley?
Speaker 6: Yes?
Speaker 1: Sorry, I don't hope we're not interrupting anything. I'm busy.
Speaker 2: But we're a radio show called Brook and Jeffrey in
Speaker 2: the morning.
Speaker 1: Wait a radio show, yeah, an English one.
Speaker 2: Don't worry. We're called Brook and Jeffrey and we're doing
Speaker 2: something called a second Date update. Okay, it's a second
Speaker 2: that we do where we try and help some of
Speaker 2: our listeners get in touch with someone after they've gone
Speaker 2: on a date.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's kind of fun.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we got a guy who's like super eager to
Speaker 5: see you, but.
Speaker 1: Not too eager. Yeah, he's like right in the middle,
Speaker 1: just the medium perfect amount of I thought.
Speaker 5: You said there wasn't such thing as being too eager.
Speaker 1: Now, I think we agreed that there was no certain
Speaker 1: amount of eagerness.
Speaker 7: Right, I'm sorry, I'm a little freaked out.
Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, it's okay. I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: We're calling about a guy named Patrick that you went
Speaker 2: to pizza with the other night.
Speaker 7: All right, confused right now?
Speaker 2: We heard he fed you the best pizza of your life,
Speaker 2: so that's gotta get points.
Speaker 8: Yeah, we went to this really cute little like kind
Speaker 8: of I guess mom and pop like pizza.
Speaker 7: Shappa was very good.
Speaker 1: I mean, he told us.
Speaker 2: All about your date, and so we we got an
Speaker 2: idea that it was a pretty good time because you
Speaker 2: ended up staying the night over at his place.
Speaker 6: Oh my god.
Speaker 7: Wow, she's very nosy.
Speaker 1: He didn't tell us anything any details beyond that.
Speaker 3: But that's okay. I mean, you sound giggly and excited.
Speaker 7: I well, I don't know.
Speaker 6: I'm just a little freaked out right now.
Speaker 7: I've just never been on a radio stasion before.
Speaker 5: Did you plan on getting back to him to set
Speaker 5: up you know something else?
Speaker 8: You know, I just haven't like trying to figure it
Speaker 8: out yet. There was just something that was like a
Speaker 8: little bit kind of off. So I just haven't had
Speaker 8: the time to like address it yet.
Speaker 2: Okay, do you mind if we asked what was off?
Speaker 2: Because Patrick is really confused, he's not sure what happened.
Speaker 6: Yeah, So I did spend the night over his house,
Speaker 6: and then like I woke up the next morning and
Speaker 6: I just felt like disgusting, like.
Speaker 1: We all feel that, though I know, not like that.
Speaker 6: It was more so like physically like I had really
Speaker 6: oily skin and like really greasy, greasy, greasy hair.
Speaker 5: And like like not change his sheets in a long time.
Speaker 6: I don't know, but it was so weird because that
Speaker 6: first that never has happened to me ever, even if
Speaker 6: I haven't washed my hair in like three days, Like
Speaker 6: I don't have greasy hair at all. My skin is
Speaker 6: actually quite clear and they take really good care of it.
Speaker 6: But like I came home just so freaked out and
Speaker 6: couldn't wait to go home and just get in the shower.
Speaker 5: Isn't that like the TikTok thing right now that people
Speaker 5: are talking about, like the boys.
Speaker 7: Hair exactly my broommates and then his boyfriend Aaron, I
Speaker 7: never heard.
Speaker 6: It's like it's just him. It's it's like something in
Speaker 6: the I don't know how to explain it, like like you're.
Speaker 3: Living in like a leftover pizza box essentially, that.
Speaker 2: Sounds kind of nice.
Speaker 1: Yeah, boyfriend, like it's.
Speaker 2: All of my call.
Speaker 7: But then now it's like, okay, if they're cleaner, you.
Speaker 1: Know, right, So it's just being around him.
Speaker 5: You think you were to walk into apartment and it's
Speaker 5: like there's maybe a poster tacked up on the wall
Speaker 5: and like a black leather couch in the bathroom.
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: Sounds like Brooke was with Patrick too.
Speaker 5: They're an upgrade if they're not sleeping on a futon
Speaker 5: like that type of that type of dude.
Speaker 1: So what is that?
Speaker 3: What was going on?
Speaker 8: I mean, you weren't that far off, but the futon
Speaker 8: wasn't on the floor like he had a bet, so
Speaker 8: you were kind of spot on with all the other things.
Speaker 3: So were you just grossed out by him?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 6: I was grossed not by him, but like the way
Speaker 6: that I felt when I left.
Speaker 1: As in him. It was his atmosphere. Let me ask
Speaker 1: you this, how does the air feel to you right now? Really?
Speaker 2: But there is Patrick who's on the line. Don't you
Speaker 2: think the boyfriend air would have snuck in if it
Speaker 2: was something to do with him?
Speaker 3: And we're on the air through the phone.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know how boyfriend air permeates.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I just heard of it.
Speaker 1: So, but Patrick is the Patri's boyfriend.
Speaker 4: Sounds like that just the most ridiculous thing that I've
Speaker 4: ever heard. I can't believe that that's the reason that
Speaker 4: you're not talking about about.
Speaker 5: That.
Speaker 6: I'm not talking to you. I'm just like taking a
Speaker 6: second to like process it because it was so weird
Speaker 6: and I didn't know how to address it.
Speaker 4: Second or three days, I don't know. You pull out
Speaker 4: your phone every time you like look anything up, if
Speaker 4: you go on maps, if you're navigating. I know that
Speaker 4: you've looked past our messages a couple of times. I'm
Speaker 4: just confused.
Speaker 7: I don't know.
Speaker 6: Well, that's a little harsh.
Speaker 8: I just needed a minute to like figure out how
Speaker 8: it's going to say, because this is a really weird
Speaker 8: conversation to have.
Speaker 6: I've never been in this situation before. Sorry, I'm surprised
Speaker 6: by your hostility because you were so sweet.
Speaker 4: No, I'm just confused. I don't know. It sounds like
Speaker 4: this is like the second time it's happened. Maybe maybe
Speaker 4: it's just you. Maybe it's a you think, not me.
Speaker 2: You think that she has bad girlfriend heir, and she's
Speaker 2: spilling her air into your apartment.
Speaker 4: It sounds like it at this point.
Speaker 5: I mean, it sounds like Patrick, your place is just
Speaker 5: like a stereotypical bachelor pad.
Speaker 2: But you agreed.
Speaker 3: I mean, would you agree with that state? I've never
Speaker 3: been there. I don't know.
Speaker 5: I know why would she said that assumption because that's
Speaker 5: what she described to that.
Speaker 1: She described it as boyfriend air. He didn't say his
Speaker 1: apartment was a dumpgether?
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, saying it is your apartment a dump? Like
Speaker 3: what's in your fridge right now. It's a very good
Speaker 3: judge of how someone was.
Speaker 1: It's a radio bit from thirty years ago. What it is.
Speaker 4: Okay, I don't just have condiments. And as far as
Speaker 4: like in terms of my apartment, it's the nicest of
Speaker 4: all of my friends. So that's good. Okay.
Speaker 1: I mean I think we're getting too much into the
Speaker 1: nitty gritty of this. The bottom of the line, money
Speaker 1: was the problem?
Speaker 2: Well yeah, okay, Well I'm just saying, actually, you said
Speaker 2: that you felt like you had a really nice time,
Speaker 2: that he had a nice personality and you vibe together.
Speaker 1: Isn't that the most important part?
Speaker 5: Sure?
Speaker 6: But like the logistics, like I don't want to feel
Speaker 6: like a grease ball every time I hang out with him,
Speaker 6: every time I go to his apartment, Like that's what
Speaker 6: I've been like considering, Like how do you say to someone, Hey,
Speaker 6: your apartment had a greasy feel about it?
Speaker 7: And heine like, can you do something?
Speaker 4: What if you gonna do?
Speaker 2: Move?
Speaker 6: Like there's nothing right, Well.
Speaker 1: There's an idea option. Maybe I didn't think about that, Patrick.
Speaker 4: I'm certainly not going to move after the first date.
Speaker 4: I mean, what things were great, Ashley, But how about this,
Speaker 4: What if we try your place and see if you
Speaker 4: still have the greasy feeling? Because if that's the case,
Speaker 4: then it's me not you.
Speaker 1: That's true.
Speaker 5: Her place has her own toothbrush and some face washed.
Speaker 5: Maybe that's all she actually needs.
Speaker 2: Did you just ask her for a free hook up
Speaker 2: over at her place this time just to test the air.
Speaker 4: I know you're jealous, and that's okay. You're welcome to
Speaker 4: steal that if you want to.
Speaker 2: Ashley, what do you think test out the grease and
Speaker 2: report back to us for a free date.
Speaker 7: It's just like the only person that this is going
Speaker 7: to prove anything to him, Like I live in my apartment,
Speaker 7: so obviously no, it's clean and not greasy. But I
Speaker 7: don't say that like Nobo. We've ever done anything like
Speaker 7: this with me before ever, and it's totally worthy of
Speaker 7: the second date.
Speaker 1: I could barely understand what you were saying through the laughter,
Speaker 1: but she.
Speaker 5: Said second date got a second day bottom line.
Speaker 2: But I guess the rule is this time you can't
Speaker 2: hook up because the intimacy could lead to extra greasiness.
Speaker 1: I read that on Brooks bumper Stick.
Speaker 5: It was a long one, brooking Chiffrey in the morning
