Speaker 1: Second date Update date. Man, we've been hearing from our listeners,
Speaker 1: especially in the last couple of years, that the dating
Speaker 1: landscape is more bleak than ever.
Speaker 2: But like this is the theme song for it.
Speaker 1: Jeff, we know what I do. Appreciate the guys out
Speaker 1: there who aren't backing down and aren't giving up. For sure,
Speaker 1: it's tough for them to land a date, but when
Speaker 1: they do, they get creative with it.
Speaker 3: I love that.
Speaker 1: Like a dumpster diving dinner date.
Speaker 2: We did have that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was misguided effort but unique.
Speaker 1: Or a blindfolded romantic trust walk across a freeway. Okay,
Speaker 1: nothing brings you together like that type of experience.
Speaker 2: You're very far apart. Depending on who gets.
Speaker 1: Hit, well, it'll bring you together in the same hospital room.
Speaker 1: And one of our listeners, Ben said he went creative
Speaker 1: with his date idea and before we even hear it,
Speaker 1: Brook's gonna give her sign of approval just for trying. Oh, Ted.
Speaker 4: Whenever you ask for my approval before I hear something,
Speaker 4: it's usually because something is not a good idea.
Speaker 1: I don't even know what the date is, so you don't.
Speaker 2: Okay, then I think it's good for you.
Speaker 1: Ben.
Speaker 3: I love the.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I thought I was getting tricked by Jeffrey.
Speaker 2: That happens a lot on the show.
Speaker 1: You don't trust any man.
Speaker 2: Ben, No, I just don't trust him.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true. We want to hear what was this
Speaker 1: creative date idea that you came up with?
Speaker 3: So in order to understand this date, you kind of
Speaker 3: have to understand, like how we bonded. Okay, so Amanda
Speaker 3: and I we met on an app and we bonded
Speaker 3: over movies, like we both really love movies.
Speaker 4: If you were about to say you took her to
Speaker 4: the movie theater and that's a strange part, hang up
Speaker 4: on him.
Speaker 3: But yeah, so I had this idea that our first
Speaker 3: date would be like a movie.
Speaker 4: Theme a movie theme date, not going to the movies,
Speaker 4: but movie theme.
Speaker 1: What does that mean?
Speaker 5: All right?
Speaker 3: Well, out about it. I wanted to have something to
Speaker 3: be memorable, and so I thought, well, like maybe we
Speaker 3: could I could pick a movie whe where we had
Speaker 3: that experience in date for him.
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, so you did Air Force one together and
Speaker 1: hijack the plane.
Speaker 3: That's fine. Yeah, well you know I was thinking like
Speaker 3: date movies, but I like your ideas too, But what
Speaker 3: did you go with I decided to do like different
Speaker 3: movie scenes because I couldn't think of a whole movie
Speaker 3: from start to finish make a good date.
Speaker 2: Okay, so what'd you pick?
Speaker 1: The recreating famous date movie scenes.
Speaker 3: Like iconic scenes from movies like for example, the first
Speaker 3: thing we did was we had a Shrek themed picnic in.
Speaker 2: Okay, I think that's a cute thing.
Speaker 1: Of course, Brook thinks a swamp date is cute as
Speaker 1: long as.
Speaker 2: She figures out the movie associated with it.
Speaker 5: She got it.
Speaker 2: She got it right away.
Speaker 3: Well it helped. I was talking like Shrek too, you know,
Speaker 3: doing my Shrek voice.
Speaker 2: So what was next? What happened for the Shrek picnic?
Speaker 3: They I wanted to do like an activity and it
Speaker 3: was this pottery studio right around the corner from the pond.
Speaker 4: Like Patrick Swayze, ghost is what you're saying.
Speaker 5: Sexy pottery, That's exactly it. So we had the potter wheeling.
Speaker 1: Well, hold on, did you die and come back as
Speaker 1: a ghost? First? In order to do this problem?
Speaker 3: No, I kept my shirt on.
Speaker 2: You didn't awkwardly go behind her? Did you die?
Speaker 3: Maybe I did, but you know it's a weird or
Speaker 3: I think.
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, what was her response.
Speaker 3: So I think she said, are you really doing this?
Speaker 3: I said, yeah, I mean, all right.
Speaker 1: Are you really doing this? As in like, wow, this
Speaker 1: is impressive? Are you seriously going through this much effort?
Speaker 4: Tone is going to be really important on that sentence,
Speaker 4: and unfortunately we cannot ree.
Speaker 1: I'm going to assume that she loved it.
Speaker 3: So I thought she was. I thought she was into it.
Speaker 3: She even said that Ghost was one of her favorite movie.
Speaker 1: She did so, she told so, she.
Speaker 2: Said to.
Speaker 1: Take to the third and final love scene. What was
Speaker 1: the movie you went with there?
Speaker 3: So at the end, I had a couple of options choose,
Speaker 3: so I told her, like, we could do the dirty
Speaker 3: dancing lift.
Speaker 1: Wow, are you even physically capable of that?
Speaker 3: I think I could take her?
Speaker 4: I think, did you really leaning into these?
Speaker 2: Patrick Swayzee?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah? What was the other option?
Speaker 4: You know what?
Speaker 3: What I thought would be really really cool special moment
Speaker 3: is the upside down kiss from Spider Man. Wow, that
Speaker 3: would be a perfect way to end off the team.
Speaker 2: How would you do that?
Speaker 1: Pulled her upside down?
Speaker 3: There was a tree out there with a branch there.
Speaker 2: It is did you really hang upside down from a tree?
Speaker 3: Well?
Speaker 1: Which one did? She choose act.
Speaker 3: She didn't choose either one.
Speaker 1: Of those, probably for the best.
Speaker 3: What she recommended that we do the handshake scene from
Speaker 3: Wolf of Wall Street.
Speaker 1: Oh, I don't know, I don't remember.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: In other words, she just gave me a handshake. It
Speaker 3: was a very firm handshake.
Speaker 1: All right. So is that how you guys left it?
Speaker 1: With a firm handshake?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was it. And she thanked me for the dates.
Speaker 3: That was really cool and thoughtful and uh, and I
Speaker 3: told her I'd like to see her again, and she said, yeah,
Speaker 3: let's see if we can make that happen.
Speaker 1: We just went over a list of things that people
Speaker 1: say that they don't really mean, and that was one
Speaker 1: of the top ones.
Speaker 2: Somebody, Yeah, we'll totally get together. Have you contacted her?
Speaker 3: I texted her and I messaged her in the app,
Speaker 3: and I haven't heard from well, I haven't heard back
Speaker 3: from her. And so that's why I was hoping that
Speaker 3: you guys can help me hook up that Spider Man kiss.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean you put in a lot of effort.
Speaker 1: Whether or not we agree that they were great ideas
Speaker 1: or not, us the effort alone is worth another shot.
Speaker 1: You're even this He's on a radio show to get
Speaker 1: her back should be a oh is that sleepless Sleepless
Speaker 1: in Seattle? She calls into a radio show. We're gonna
Speaker 1: go full sleepless on this girl when your second date update.
Speaker 2: I do kind of remember that.
Speaker 1: Now we're going to hook you up on top of
Speaker 1: the Empire State Building when we come.
Speaker 2: At least the end is definitely Empire State Building. Make
Speaker 2: a new movie. I mean, if you haven't seen it,
Speaker 2: no Alexis.
Speaker 1: Leave the room. We're gonna do a second date update
Speaker 1: right after that second date update. Three romantic movie scenes
Speaker 1: recreated in one very steamy.
Speaker 2: Date because the pond next to them love.
Speaker 1: Them moisture coming up.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Our listener Ben bonded with a woman named Amanda over
Speaker 1: their shared love of cinema, so he thought it'd be
Speaker 1: fun to recreate the swamp picnic from the Shrek movie.
Speaker 2: It's actually really cute.
Speaker 1: The pottery scene from Ghost and after she rejected the
Speaker 1: upside down spider Man kiss, they settled on a regular handshake.
Speaker 2: Okay, very business like Wolf of Wall Street.
Speaker 1: That's right hot. Now, did something happen in the middle
Speaker 1: of all that stuff? Because those movie scenes sounded really great?
Speaker 1: But Ben, I need to ask you when you were
Speaker 1: reaching around her at the pottery place, you were feeling normal? Right?
Speaker 2: Oh god, Jeff what?
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah?
Speaker 2: What you mean?
Speaker 4: Brook?
Speaker 1: You know how these go?
Speaker 2: I mean we had not asked that question, but.
Speaker 1: You understand the physical reaction that pottery has on a man.
Speaker 1: When you stick your hands into that clay. You can't
Speaker 1: control what your body does. It does for me.
Speaker 4: What happened in your art class in high school, Jeffrey,
Speaker 4: I don't.
Speaker 2: Want to know.
Speaker 1: Well, I'll ask my art teacher to send you the
Speaker 1: video if you're really that interests. Yes, Ben, it was
Speaker 1: all kosher in the pottery place.
Speaker 3: It just pottery.
Speaker 4: Okay, that's the best answer.
Speaker 2: Pottery is really hard.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's difficult.
Speaker 2: Like I've taken a pottery class before.
Speaker 1: I think a lot of us are feeling hot right now?
Speaker 2: Do you not say anything?
Speaker 1: Let's get more people in on this action. Dialing Amanda
Speaker 1: right now, here we go. Hello, Hey, we're looking to
Speaker 1: speak with Amanda. Hey Amanda, my name is Jeff You're
Speaker 1: on the radio right now with a show called Brook
Speaker 1: and Jeffrey in the Morning.
Speaker 4: Hey Amanda, Amanda, good morning, don't hang up.
Speaker 2: Hi, Hi, you're pretty chill, She's cool.
Speaker 3: What's up.
Speaker 1: We're doing a segment called a second date Update, which
Speaker 1: is where we try and help out our listeners after
Speaker 1: they've gone out with somebody and they'd like to see
Speaker 1: them again, try and figure out if there's a reason
Speaker 1: why the second meetup hasn't happened yet.
Speaker 5: Okay, okay.
Speaker 1: And so the guy that reached out to us about you,
Speaker 1: his name is Ben. Okay, yeah, does that make sense?
Speaker 3: That does make sense?
Speaker 1: Okay, okay.
Speaker 2: Cool.
Speaker 1: So basically we have heard from Ben about your guys
Speaker 1: is recreate a movie date.
Speaker 4: He put a lot of thought and energy into it
Speaker 4: because he was really excited about you.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 6: So I don't know how many details he gave you.
Speaker 5: A lot.
Speaker 1: We heard Shrek Ghost and then you guys settled on
Speaker 1: a Wolf of Wall Street thing.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, handshake at the end, which was your right
Speaker 2: let me.
Speaker 6: Yes, we keep the ghost pottery, which is.
Speaker 3: Very like creative and cute, and.
Speaker 2: I did like that.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but he had told me that the last thing
Speaker 6: was going to be a surprise, so she wasn't going
Speaker 6: to like tell me until the end. And he kept
Speaker 6: bringing up during the other dates, like you know, we
Speaker 6: could stop this right now and just do pretty woman woman?
Speaker 4: Oh god, he pays you for your services.
Speaker 6: Where he's a businessman and she's a hooker.
Speaker 4: He wanted to be the person who took you shopping.
Speaker 4: That's probably what he meant.
Speaker 1: A hook Yeah, she's very respectable in that movie.
Speaker 4: I mean he wanted to kiss. They don't kiss a
Speaker 4: pretty woman, even if.
Speaker 6: Even if he did mean I want to take you shopping.
Speaker 6: That's a strange thing for a first date. And like
Speaker 6: it was already pretty elaborate, you guys, it was the
Speaker 6: first date, Like I just met this guy.
Speaker 4: So wait, you're upset that he brought up pretty woman
Speaker 4: because that made you feel used?
Speaker 2: Is that what it is?
Speaker 3: It just was a little ugi.
Speaker 6: Okay, his intentions didn't feel great, but.
Speaker 1: Ogre Swamp Picnic felt right to you.
Speaker 6: It multiple references to that, you guys.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I see what what you're feeling. Young people call
Speaker 1: it the from Okay, I think.
Speaker 2: Very similar.
Speaker 1: Before that when I don't want to like bring up
Speaker 1: any more icky ugi feelings, but I do need to
Speaker 1: tell you that Ben is on the other line right now,
Speaker 1: listening to this conversation, and he does want to talk
Speaker 1: to you.
Speaker 5: Benny there, I am here, and let me tell you,
Speaker 5: I feel exactly like the guys from Dude, Where's My Car?
Speaker 3: Right now?
Speaker 2: What does that mean?
Speaker 3: You're hungover on your back, you're high?
Speaker 1: Like what?
Speaker 3: Like, I'm just totally confused, you.
Speaker 4: Know, confused or something that you know, liked confused.
Speaker 2: In the title.
Speaker 1: Why are you so confused?
Speaker 5: Well, I just had no idea, Like, so when I
Speaker 5: suggested pretty Woman, I mean I was thinking about like
Speaker 5: the romance element, you know, like the fact that these
Speaker 5: two people like really hit it off and fell in love.
Speaker 3: I forgot she was a prostitute. That's not why I
Speaker 3: was bringing that up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's like the whole plot of the movie.
Speaker 2: You could have chosen something better.
Speaker 3: Well, it definitely was not my intention. I was not
Speaker 3: trying to imply that you were a prostitute in any way.
Speaker 4: That it's always a good things.
Speaker 2: Not try to imply that.
Speaker 3: Okay, I totally get it.
Speaker 1: Are you hearing him, Amanda? Do you see where he's
Speaker 1: coming from?
Speaker 6: I don't know how you forget that part.
Speaker 1: Escort thing.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's kind of the key pot.
Speaker 2: So wait, are you not believing him, Amanda? Is that
Speaker 2: the issue?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I guess not Okay, well you got to look on
Speaker 1: the bright side, Amand at least he didn't bring up
Speaker 1: Silence of the Lambs. Yeah, thank you and turn you
Speaker 1: into there was no les.
Speaker 6: Nor skin like. There were no buckets involved in the date.
Speaker 1: I appreciate. Okay, now we're thinking, we're thinking positive here.
Speaker 3: I also kind of meant it as a compliment because
Speaker 3: I think you are a pretty woman.
Speaker 4: That's what a.
Speaker 1: Lexus just said. She can hear what she's saying too,
Speaker 1: So this is a little bit awkward.
Speaker 3: Right now, A little yeah.
Speaker 1: But the way that we can make this all better
Speaker 1: is if Amanda, you're willing to give Ben one more
Speaker 1: chance at another date. You could pick any other movie
Speaker 1: scene that you want to do, or just a non movie.
Speaker 2: You could do a do over and do fifty first dates.
Speaker 2: You know where he forgets every time, So.
Speaker 1: We're fifty shades first.
Speaker 6: You know, you guys are going to send us to
Speaker 6: Hawaiian then I'm in, but I have the money.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well we'll pay for the taxi to the airport.
Speaker 1: Then you handle the rest. But Ben, do you have
Speaker 1: another day idea? If she says yes, well does it
Speaker 1: have to be movies?
Speaker 6: Yes?
Speaker 1: Yes, Well I mean, that's how they bonded.
Speaker 3: Movies are kind of our thing. I don't know. I mean,
Speaker 3: I'd really like to do like a basic instinct.
Speaker 4: What but that's like a scary stalker, isn't it.
Speaker 1: He meant it as like she's pretty, She's beautiful, beautiful.
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure that.
Speaker 1: This, Ben, I'm going to ask you again, maybe try
Speaker 1: something different, maybe a little bit more romantic.
Speaker 2: This time you started with Shreds.
Speaker 1: Dude, I'm cute. What movie do you have in mind
Speaker 1: that second date, Bud, I'll.
Speaker 3: Be honest, I keep thinking about this and how but
Speaker 3: I don't know how we could turn it into a date.
Speaker 3: But my favorite movie is Pulp Fiction. It's a dance scene,
Speaker 3: the swing dance scene, all right.
Speaker 1: You know, Ben, I think Harry Potter Day, like, what
Speaker 1: are you guys doing?
Speaker 4: Ben?
Speaker 1: I think your heart is in the right place for sure,
Speaker 1: but your mind is.
Speaker 3: I mean, I just like a lot of movies.
Speaker 1: I just like your mind is scaring.
Speaker 2: Her though, Ben, so is she even on the phone.
Speaker 1: I don't know, Amanda, are you still there?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 3: I'm not sure why.
Speaker 1: Well, Amanda, I'm sorry for all of this, but best
Speaker 1: of luck in the dating pool. Ben you got a
Speaker 1: lot of work to do. Yeah, man, I.
Speaker 2: Go away from maybe coms dude, Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I can try that. I guess. I am really
Speaker 3: super disappointed, though. I did put a lot of work
Speaker 3: into that, and that's that's I don't know if you remembers,
Speaker 3: but my outfit at the picnic was very reminiscent of Shrek,
Speaker 3: and I just, you know, I feel like I should
Speaker 3: get credit. Then.
Speaker 1: The good news is a lot of single women are
Speaker 1: hearing this right now.
Speaker 2: And running.
Speaker 1: At least they heard it. Yeah, looking Jeffrey in the morning,
Speaker 1: you know what, that could have been a really sweet
Speaker 1: second date, so close to rom com perfection, but he
Speaker 1: ended up being weird. Yeah yeah, I mean it wasn't
Speaker 1: subtle like I see a slipping in movies there, But I.
Speaker 2: Mean, and she tried, she tried to like it, she
Speaker 2: tried to get.
Speaker 4: On with it, and then she's like, no, my gut
Speaker 4: is telling me that something's something's off.
Speaker 1: You know what. I do believe there is a woman
Speaker 1: out there somewhere right now thinking, when is a guy
Speaker 1: finally going to treat me like a high priced I
Speaker 1: deserve that. That's my dream.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm trying to relate a little more.
