Speaker 1: Second data date. If a date doesn't go well and
Speaker 1: you know that it's your own fault, that's tough, but
Speaker 1: it's easier to live with because you can own it
Speaker 1: and learn from your mistakes. Yeah. Absolutely, that's a very
Speaker 1: progressive would think of it. Yeah, it's much worse though,
Speaker 1: when a date goes south because of something or someone
Speaker 1: that's totally out of your control. It's frustrating. And that's
Speaker 1: what one of our listeners, Laana said in her email.
Speaker 1: She also said she's a big fan of the show.
Speaker 1: Oh cool, she doesn't miss a day. So Launa, first
Speaker 1: of all, thank you for suff listening, and tell us
Speaker 1: about the guy that you went out with what's his name?
Speaker 1: First of all, I just have to say, Hi, I'm
Speaker 1: excited you finally get your moment on the show. I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry that it has to deal with a bad date,
Speaker 1: but we're glad you're here. Yeah, so let's get into
Speaker 1: your date. Tell us about the guy that you went
Speaker 1: out with. What's his name? So this guy's name is Marcus.
Speaker 1: How did you meet Marcus? We met on Bumble and uh,
Speaker 1: I've like met some pretty cool people on Bumble. Like
Speaker 1: obviously nothing has worked out, but it's nice because it's
Speaker 1: like not super serious and you have to do like
Speaker 1: a million questions to get your profile up. But it's
Speaker 1: not like just like a hook up thing like some
Speaker 1: of the other ones. All of them. No, what's the
Speaker 1: most serious one that's like serious dating dot com? No, No,
Speaker 1: it's like match and stuff. It's like old people looking
Speaker 1: for like Okay, Actually, yeah, that's when you're really serious.
Speaker 1: I see, So you're medium serious about that. So you're
Speaker 1: looking for someone to have fun with right now, You're
Speaker 1: not necessarily looking for the love of your life. Like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm open to it. I just feel like I did
Speaker 1: he Harmony ones and it was like kind of weirdough, Okay,
Speaker 1: so what did you like about Marcus? Well, first of all,
Speaker 1: he's very handsome, okay, and he has a good job.
Speaker 1: He's an engineer, which I thought was pretty impressive. And yeah,
Speaker 1: he just seemed like really relaxed and fun. Like he
Speaker 1: had some photos of him like doing things other than
Speaker 1: just drinking, which is nice. What other things are there?
Speaker 1: He had actually a photo of him doing like drag racing,
Speaker 1: So I'm like, is that just a hobby or or
Speaker 1: you is that like a pretend photo? He's like, no,
Speaker 1: I swear I'm in that car right there. You just
Speaker 1: can't see me. So what did you and Marcus do
Speaker 1: for your date? I thought this was such a cute idea.
Speaker 1: He suggested that we go have a little picnic in
Speaker 1: the park. Oh that's always fun. Yeah, so sweet low presh.
Speaker 1: And so we got there and he had this like
Speaker 1: giant picnic basket. Oh good man. Yeah, I mean, you
Speaker 1: never know if you're just showing up to a park
Speaker 1: and he's got some subway ready for you, or if
Speaker 1: he yeah right, but or if he actually went the
Speaker 1: extra mile and put together like some goods. Well actually,
Speaker 1: so we were chatting and having a good time. Then
Speaker 1: he was like, Okay, are you ready to eat? So
Speaker 1: he opens up the picnic basket and he pulls out
Speaker 1: bags of KFC. Oh, I was really close. I mean,
Speaker 1: but that's delicious. I say that's better. I think it'd
Speaker 1: be weird if he had a homemade sandwiches. I don't know. Oh,
Speaker 1: I was a guy that I was really hoping for
Speaker 1: a circuity board or something for her. What did you think, Lana,
Speaker 1: was the KFC a good move or a bad one? Well?
Speaker 1: Actually I started laughing hysterically because on my profile I
Speaker 1: say that I love KFC attention to details. Nicely done, sir,
Speaker 1: you can read. I mean that's actually a lot of points.
Speaker 1: I mean, don't you say you can spell? But still
Speaker 1: he's paying attention. Yeah, Like I remember when I met
Speaker 1: my husband, he showed up with my coffee order and
Speaker 1: I just thought it was so sweet, like so thoughtful,
Speaker 1: just those little things. Okay, enough about Brooks boring dating. Like,
Speaker 1: let's get back to Lana. Keep us going with Marcus.
Speaker 1: What happened next? Yeah, so you know, we had a
Speaker 1: great time. We were like eating our fried chicken and
Speaker 1: hanging out, and then I started getting these like serious
Speaker 1: texts and phone calls from my sister, which I tried
Speaker 1: to ignore for a while, but then I was like,
Speaker 1: oh no, maybe there's an emergency, like maybe she ought
Speaker 1: to a car accident, someone in the family's hurt. You
Speaker 1: know what was going on. She was mad at me
Speaker 1: because I borrowed one of her outfits. I borrowed the
Speaker 1: like pant suit thing. It's like a jumper kind of thing. Okay,
Speaker 1: but I don't know. I guess she wreaked out and
Speaker 1: was calling me hysterically that I took her her outfits. Okay,
Speaker 1: I mean, but that didn't really affect your date at all,
Speaker 1: did it. I don't know. I've lived at ten sisters
Speaker 1: and they get nasty, a yelling match over the phone
Speaker 1: right in front of him. No, I mean, I like
Speaker 1: walked away, and I mean, I don't know exactly if
Speaker 1: you heard, but like, I'm not shy, like I'm pretty expressive,
Speaker 1: and I called me moving my hands around like when
Speaker 1: I was talking to her. Marx is like, why did
Speaker 1: you just spit on your phone? I mean, I think
Speaker 1: that that's pretty civil, though. Didn't you just go back
Speaker 1: and tell him, like, oh my god, my dumb little
Speaker 1: sister called me because she's mad I borrowed her clothes,
Speaker 1: Like don't you think that that would be He's probably
Speaker 1: gonna get a glimpse of what you don't think, so
Speaker 1: I think that it's like kind of funny. That would
Speaker 1: be a red flag to me. I'd be like, oh, chefs,
Speaker 1: he doesn't get along even with her own family. That's
Speaker 1: not good. What was what was his attitude like when
Speaker 1: you got back after talking with your sister. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean he seems like a little bit awkward. So I
Speaker 1: was like, why don't we just go over there to
Speaker 1: the little playground area and we'll go swinging swings and
Speaker 1: kind of lighting things up a little bit. How much
Speaker 1: you were moving your hands, Carson. I think it depends
Speaker 1: on if this guy has a sibling or not, because
Speaker 1: if you have a sibling, you can understand that relationship
Speaker 1: like that, that tension is okay, that you still love
Speaker 1: the person, that that's just sometimes how you communicate, or
Speaker 1: just an outfit you love. Yeah, well, maybe maybe we'll
Speaker 1: be able to get a gauge about how he was
Speaker 1: feeling based on how the date ended. How did that go? Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was fine, Like we didn't kiss or anything, which
Speaker 1: would have been kind of weird in the middle of
Speaker 1: the park, but he did hug me, and you know,
Speaker 1: he had go to his buddy's birthday party and I
Speaker 1: had a dinner to go too, so we couldn't like
Speaker 1: linger very long. But I thought we had a great time,
Speaker 1: and in like the grand scheme of things, I actually
Speaker 1: would be open to a relationship with this guy, like
Speaker 1: he seems like definitely marriage materials. Oh my goodness, Oh,
Speaker 1: your sister isn't so much trouble. She screwed this up
Speaker 1: for you. All right, Well, let's see if the sister
Speaker 1: drama continues. We'll play a song, we'll come back. We'll
Speaker 1: call Marcus for you and try and get your second
Speaker 1: date update. Okay, yeah, you guys are awesome, Thank you
Speaker 1: so much. All right, hold one. Sibling arguments don't end
Speaker 1: with childhood. They continue well into adulthood. And today one
Speaker 1: of our listeners, Lana, is tattling on her younger sister, saying, Mom,
Speaker 1: Lisa's ruining my date again because she recently had a
Speaker 1: picnic in the park with a guy named Marcus. While
Speaker 1: it was happening, her sister kept spamming her phone accusing
Speaker 1: her of borrowing an outfit without permission. Yeah, basically a
Speaker 1: classy felony. So eventually Lana had to just take a
Speaker 1: moment to answer a call, yell at her cis and
Speaker 1: put her in her place. But now she's worried that
Speaker 1: even though the rest of the date went well, that
Speaker 1: may have been a turn off from Marcus. Now, Lana,
Speaker 1: we didn't ask you, have you been talking very much
Speaker 1: with Marcus after the date or not at all? Like
Speaker 1: is he ghosting you completely? No, he hasn't ghosted me completely.
Speaker 1: Like if I text him, he'll text me back, but
Speaker 1: he hasn't asked me. I'm another date and that was
Speaker 1: like a week and a half ago that we went out.
Speaker 1: But it's a good sign that he's still at least
Speaker 1: keeping in touch. Maybe just reply to nice maybe, or
Speaker 1: maybe he's just waiting for you to ask him on
Speaker 1: a date. Like women and can do that too. He's
Speaker 1: the one that made the first move with the KFC
Speaker 1: in the park. Maybe it's your turn. That's what we're
Speaker 1: doing right now. But she could have asked before us.
Speaker 1: That's all I'm saying. Oh, okay, you know, well without
Speaker 1: a team around her, But it's all right. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: guess I could have. But I don't know. I like
Speaker 1: it when the guy like makes the effort, you know.
Speaker 1: I don't want to just be like shaping after some guy,
Speaker 1: which is like the opposite of what bumble is designed for.
Speaker 1: But that's true. I bet your sister would have asked
Speaker 1: the guy out without having to call the radio station.
Speaker 1: You did not just say that I went there. I
Speaker 1: went there a girlfriend girlfriend I do. I have a
Speaker 1: younger sister. We haven't spoken in years. She also borrowed
Speaker 1: one of your outfit She did unforgivable. Now that I'm
Speaker 1: all riled up, let's give Marcus a call and we'll
Speaker 1: try and get you a second date update. You ready, Lana? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm ready. Okay, here we go. Hello. Hey, I'm looking
Speaker 1: for Marcus. What is this? Hey, my name's Jeffrey from
Speaker 1: the radio show Brook and Jeffrey in the Morning. Sorry,
Speaker 1: I'm not interested. No, no, no, no. This isn't like
Speaker 1: an advertisement or anything. We're doing a segment on a
Speaker 1: show called a second Date Update? Am I in the
Speaker 1: radio right now? Yeah? Maybe? Is that? Okay? It's all
Speaker 1: just for fun. It's a positive things we have to
Speaker 1: tell you. Okay. The reason why we're calling you is
Speaker 1: because you recently went out with a woman who had
Speaker 1: a great time with you, but she's confused after your date.
Speaker 1: Why you're not reaching out to ask her out again?
Speaker 1: Just this? Her name, Lana? It is you know who
Speaker 1: we're talking about. You. You're giggling as we're mentioning her.
Speaker 1: I mean that sounds like a good thing. Yeah, no,
Speaker 1: I she's great. I like her a lot. All right, Um,
Speaker 1: I just don't know if it's the best match. What
Speaker 1: makes you say that? Did she tell you we went
Speaker 1: out we went out. Yeah, she told us all about
Speaker 1: your picnic in the park date and how thoughtful you
Speaker 1: were that you got KFC because on her bio it
Speaker 1: said how much she loved KFC. I would say, good
Speaker 1: move on your part, sir, thank you. She thought you
Speaker 1: were very thoughtful and very funny and she had a
Speaker 1: great time with you. So she's really hoping to see
Speaker 1: you again and doesn't understand why you haven't been in communication. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So did she mention she has a sister? Yeah, she did.
Speaker 1: Were hoping he didn't hear that. Yeah, she's embarrassed. Yeah,
Speaker 1: she knows that. It kind of got out of hand,
Speaker 1: and she went off to yell at her sister a
Speaker 1: little bit because of some sibling drama. But no, no,
Speaker 1: it's it's not. I totally get family drama. I mean,
Speaker 1: I you know my siblings. Did I fight too? It
Speaker 1: wasn't that. Okay. Did she mention her sister. She calls
Speaker 1: her like her little sister. But they're twins. They're twins,
Speaker 1: so she's like two minutes littler than she is or
Speaker 1: something like that, Like twins like to do that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I guess twins do that. Okay, Why is that a problem?
Speaker 1: The last person I dated was also a twin. WHOA,
Speaker 1: what are the odds? O, Well, are you worried that
Speaker 1: it's Launa's sister? No? No, no, no, it's just like,
Speaker 1: so this last person I dated, I dated her for
Speaker 1: a while and oh, this is embarrassing. Sor right, I'm
Speaker 1: just gonna say it. Okay, when I met this woman
Speaker 1: that I was seeing, when I met her twin, I
Speaker 1: found myself more attracted to her than the person that
Speaker 1: I was actually dating. Were they were they identical twins? Yeah,
Speaker 1: so some may have a personality trait that you are
Speaker 1: more attracted to you than the look alike. So you're like, hey,
Speaker 1: I want that one's like one instance, what does that
Speaker 1: have to do with Launa? That has nothing to do
Speaker 1: with Launa exactly. I just have this fear that, like
Speaker 1: maybe I have some weird thing inside me where like
Speaker 1: when there's a twin, I end up wanting to be
Speaker 1: with the one that I'm not with and I felt
Speaker 1: like I might or I might want to and that's
Speaker 1: why it ended. And I just don't want to go
Speaker 1: through that again. Okay, you're following You're worried that if
Speaker 1: you end up dating Laana you'll eventually meet her sister
Speaker 1: and be more attracted to her sister. Yeah, because of
Speaker 1: one experience you had with identical twins. I mean that's
Speaker 1: a big stretch, man, It's a big leap. And I mean,
Speaker 1: do you even know that Laana's twin is identical? I
Speaker 1: think so because they were arguing about something about like
Speaker 1: borrowing clothes or something. So I just assumed that, like, right,
Speaker 1: I borrow clothes with women that look nothing like me,
Speaker 1: and you get clothes fit on many different types of bodies,
Speaker 1: so maybe they're not. That's a good question too. You
Speaker 1: want to have a problem at all, it's just a
Speaker 1: lot of like jump to conclusion. Yeah, I mean this
Speaker 1: is something that we definitely need to talk to Launa about.
Speaker 1: I guess I good, But I don't even know how
Speaker 1: i'd like even bring it up with her, so weird, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that would be it is. The good news is you
Speaker 1: already kind of did because Lana's been on the other
Speaker 1: line listening and she wants to talk to you. Oh
Speaker 1: my god, no. Yeah, yeah, la Marcus, that is the
Speaker 1: most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. You got commitment issues, buddy,
Speaker 1: Like that's the only reason that you would suddenly be
Speaker 1: attracted to another woman. There are a lot of attractive
Speaker 1: women out there. Oh well, first of all, hi, um,
Speaker 1: thank you for setting this up. That's cool. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: clearly you don't have the boss to talk to me
Speaker 1: about this. You could have just said something like as
Speaker 1: a joke and it would have been upper like, I'm
Speaker 1: not worried. I'm trying to just not do anything bad.
Speaker 1: I'm not. I didn't. Oh I've got just such a
Speaker 1: little whiny. Oh my god. But here's the thing, Marcus,
Speaker 1: what if Lana is the hotter of the two sisters
Speaker 1: and you already went out with her. Okay, so you
Speaker 1: just missed out, bro, the two identical twins. Are you mad?
Speaker 1: Then at his reasoning? Is what I'm getting at Lana
Speaker 1: that it's the most immature, stupidest think I've ever heard of,
Speaker 1: a reason that you don't want to go on another
Speaker 1: day because you think you're going to fall in love
Speaker 1: with my sister who you've never met. Right, they asked
Speaker 1: me the question. I was just being honest. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean he did know, he did know it was weird, right,
Speaker 1: and he didn't know how to bring it up to you.
Speaker 1: And I mean, Marcus you can kind of see how
Speaker 1: ridiculous that thought is. Yeah, but you couldn't understand how
Speaker 1: it's weird that I dated twins and now I'm with
Speaker 1: someone else who's twins. You can understand, like that's weird too.
Speaker 1: In a way, he's looking out for you, Lanna, like
Speaker 1: he doesn't want to accidentally break your heart. Yeah, oh please,
Speaker 1: you know what, Honestly he is looking out for me
Speaker 1: by not texting me back who is Clearly he's a
Speaker 1: mess and I don't need to get involved with that. Wow. Well, no,
Speaker 1: don't write him off yet. Yeah. There has to be
Speaker 1: a way that we can find out once and for
Speaker 1: all whether or not he will be attracted to your sister.
Speaker 1: Maybe we can do some sort of blind test where
Speaker 1: you're going with you and your sister both meet him
Speaker 1: at the same time. He takes the blindfold off and
Speaker 1: he has to choose which one is, Laana. That sounds
Speaker 1: like the worst idea for la history of ideas? Is
Speaker 1: it the most romantic history? That is terrible? What if
Speaker 1: he chooses right? Yeah, Laana, No, I bet your sister
Speaker 1: would be up for you. I told you gas, don't
Speaker 1: go there, Okay, so I won't go there. But how
Speaker 1: about I go here where I ask Marcus, would you
Speaker 1: like to go out on another date with Laana? We'll
Speaker 1: pay for it. Now that we've talked about it, I
Speaker 1: do think you're right. I'm probably silly, and I really
Speaker 1: I would love to go on a second date with you.
Speaker 1: And I I'm sorry I was being weird. I think
Speaker 1: I was just caught up guard and I didn't want
Speaker 1: to be a jerk. So cute Jeffrey's doing the heart
Speaker 1: symbol with his hands right now. It's really weird. It's
Speaker 1: so nice. I mean, I'm feeling the love coming through
Speaker 1: from Marcus. How about you, Lana, what do you say?
Speaker 1: Give him one more shot? You did really like him, Lana?
Speaker 1: I mean, and he's a person who can admit when
Speaker 1: he's an idiot. I mean, yeah, okay, so he's sweet,
Speaker 1: but like not as we go out again, I'm just
Speaker 1: going to be worrying the whole time that when he
Speaker 1: meets my sister he's gonna want to date her. Well,
Speaker 1: I mean that's you also jumping to a conclusion. Just
Speaker 1: make sure that they never meet. Yeah, problem solved. So
Speaker 1: what do you say? We'll pay for it? KFC, he
Speaker 1: might have to do something nicer than KFC this time.
Speaker 1: I promise, I promise I will all right right, congratulations
Speaker 1: you two successful second date update. Thanks guys, And I
Speaker 1: promise if I meet your sister, I won't feel anything
Speaker 1: such a charmer Broke and Jeffrey in the morning. To
