Speaker 1: The second date of day, Brooke, I don't know how
Speaker 1: you feel about meeting guys at the gym. The gym,
Speaker 1: are you worried about that? Because it's usually like pretty
Speaker 1: loud in there and you're sweating. And we know, Brooke
Speaker 1: that you don't wear deodorant, at least not deodorants that work.
Speaker 1: You like to do that organic stuff?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I how else do you send your paeromones out
Speaker 2: the world?
Speaker 3: Okay?
Speaker 1: Hot guy deterrent? Is that what that smell is when
Speaker 1: I go in the gym?
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 1: It might not be the cutest look sometimes, but that's
Speaker 1: where one of our listeners, Vanessa, says she ended up
Speaker 1: meeting a guy over at her local gym and it
Speaker 1: seems to work out okay for her, until it didn't.
Speaker 2: Maybe deodorant brands maybe, And what type of deodorant do
Speaker 2: you use?
Speaker 4: I'm a dove girl.
Speaker 1: That's a good one. Is that okay for you?
Speaker 3: Brooke?
Speaker 5: I like to go a little more natural.
Speaker 1: Maybe just try uses like mayonnaise and lemon juice, unless
Speaker 1: unless it's an actual dove alive dove.
Speaker 5: Dove is dad, it's time to.
Speaker 1: Change it out. Yeah all right, Well, thank you for
Speaker 1: the recommendation on the deodorant. But let's focus on your
Speaker 1: love life here. Tell us about the guy that you
Speaker 1: met when you were at the gym totally.
Speaker 4: So, I was working out the other day, you know,
Speaker 4: across the room, I kind of saw this guy. He
Speaker 4: was cute, of course, in really good shape, and I
Speaker 4: kept glancing, but I was trying not to make it obvious.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, it could be so awkward if you
Speaker 2: get caught stary.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no matter what you're a guy.
Speaker 2: Or I mean, nobody really likes that at the gym,
Speaker 2: or do they.
Speaker 4: I mean, some people are checking themselves out the whole time.
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's kind of like a confidence boost to notice
Speaker 1: somebody glancing at you.
Speaker 5: But sure, how did you get his attention?
Speaker 4: Well, it wasn't on purpose that we kind of like
Speaker 4: locked eyes through the mirror, you know. Yeah, So in
Speaker 4: order to make it up be super awkward, since he
Speaker 4: knew now I was looking at him, I went over
Speaker 4: and I asked if he would spot me to do
Speaker 4: some squats.
Speaker 2: Oh that's nice, that's forward.
Speaker 5: It's just risky because you can't tell this single or not. Sometimes,
Speaker 5: but if you're just asking for a.
Speaker 1: Spot, you're just asking like, did you get this guy's
Speaker 1: name during this whole encounter?
Speaker 4: Yeah, his name is Alex.
Speaker 5: Okay, and howd the spotting go?
Speaker 1: Really well?
Speaker 4: Like he was supporting me and encouraging and just super
Speaker 4: nice and sweet.
Speaker 5: That's awesome. So you were able to turn that into
Speaker 5: something else.
Speaker 4: Well. Yes, So the rest of the workouts we kind
Speaker 4: of were just like near each other doing our own thing,
Speaker 4: and then we kind of finished around the same time.
Speaker 4: So when we were leaving, he asked if I wanted
Speaker 4: to go across the street and get some coffee.
Speaker 6: Oh cute, Yeah, and I didn't have plans, so we
Speaker 6: went and got some coffee, and it just felt so
Speaker 6: like natural and comfortable, like.
Speaker 2: And it's so awesome to have like an impromptu date
Speaker 2: on that because because no one can cancel.
Speaker 5: You know, like there's no lead up, it's just happening.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: What did you guys connect over besides working out?
Speaker 4: Well, like our jobs are somewhat similar. We talked about family.
Speaker 4: I mean yeah, we talked about everything.
Speaker 5: Really, how long did you hang out?
Speaker 1: No one cares about any of that. Let's move on. Yeah,
Speaker 1: what happened after coffee was at the end of it.
Speaker 4: It was not so it was like a super nice
Speaker 4: day out and I feel like neither of us wanted
Speaker 4: it to end. So we ended up going to the
Speaker 4: park and like walking.
Speaker 5: Around, Yes, we just lay down.
Speaker 1: You guys are in both in good shape at least,
Speaker 1: but this.
Speaker 5: Time you're like dried, sweaty, you.
Speaker 1: Know a good point. Was there anything weird that was
Speaker 1: happening during this encounter, like a coffee or at the park?
Speaker 4: No, the park was actually so fun. We were walking
Speaker 4: and I mentioned how I also do you yoga? And
Speaker 4: I ended up show and in some yoga posures in
Speaker 4: the park.
Speaker 2: You guys are that fit couple in the park fandacks
Speaker 2: looking great doing yoga poses?
Speaker 1: Oh god?
Speaker 5: Did he like that?
Speaker 4: She seemed to, because then we kind of finished our
Speaker 4: walk around the park and he was like, I'm kind
Speaker 4: of a coffee addict. Do you want to go get
Speaker 4: another coffee?
Speaker 2: Who? I mean, do you think at this point you
Speaker 2: should have like bowed out, like like the momentum is good,
Speaker 2: that's when you leave leave him wanting more.
Speaker 4: But we had more momentum.
Speaker 1: Class.
Speaker 6: I feel like.
Speaker 1: He's going to be like, you want to go back
Speaker 1: to the gym now, because.
Speaker 2: He's just not very creative like coffee park. How is
Speaker 2: second coffee also amazing?
Speaker 1: See a pattern here? Okay, you want to go look
Speaker 1: into some mirror or is he still there with you?
Speaker 4: I mean, I hate to do put this out on
Speaker 4: the radio, but I ended up staying the night. Whoa, yeah,
Speaker 4: I mean there was some food, there was some shower.
Speaker 4: I couldn't have like subsided totally on just coffee alone.
Speaker 5: And I bet you guys stayed up late. After all
Speaker 5: that coffee.
Speaker 4: Everything stayed awesome, like he was really sweet. The next
Speaker 4: morning he walked me out. We ended up walking down
Speaker 4: the street to Starbucks and had our morning coffee together.
Speaker 1: God okay, and so was that the end of the day.
Speaker 7: Yes, exhausted.
Speaker 1: It was like a whole relationship.
Speaker 4: We stood a whole week's worth in one.
Speaker 2: Day, and you haven't heard anything exactly.
Speaker 4: This is why now I have to call you. It's
Speaker 4: been a few days. Suddenly you were cold, so like,
Speaker 4: I literally know nothing.
Speaker 5: Well, this is a good thing.
Speaker 1: Sometimes one date it can turn into a whole weekend.
Speaker 1: You know, it's a good thing. If you were both
Speaker 1: on the same page. Who were we to say this
Speaker 1: is bad? But sometimes hanging out too much, that's like
Speaker 1: the kiss of death. Yeah, yeah, let's find out. Sit tight,
Speaker 1: we'll come back. We'll call Alex for you and try
Speaker 1: and get you your second date update right after this. Okay,
Speaker 1: it's a date that started off amazing. They locked eyes
Speaker 1: across a crowded Jim, had an instant vibe going decided
Speaker 1: to hang out. Okay, But fourteen hours and two hundred
Speaker 1: cups of coffee later, they're not speaking to each other anymore. Yeah,
Speaker 1: our listener Vanessa doesn't blame Brook for that.
Speaker 5: Good Why was she?
Speaker 7: I do what?
Speaker 3: I don't know?
Speaker 1: It just feels right, Okay, but we don't know what
Speaker 1: the reason is actually for why her date Alex isn't
Speaker 1: calling her back.
Speaker 5: Maybe he just hasn't had his coffee yet, you know, maybe.
Speaker 1: He's finally asleep after seven days.
Speaker 5: You made a caffeine and coma.
Speaker 1: Maybe possibly, But it is odd because she ended up
Speaker 1: spending the night over at Alex's place.
Speaker 5: And they went to coffee afterwards.
Speaker 2: Like usually, if it's going to be weird and awkward,
Speaker 2: there's a reason that you have to go.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so we have a mystery on our hands. We're
Speaker 1: going to get to the bottom of it. How are
Speaker 1: you feeling here, Vanessa. Do you need some coffee?
Speaker 4: No? I am good, I'm confident. I'm ready for you
Speaker 4: guys to help.
Speaker 5: What do you think it is? Just any guesses before
Speaker 5: we call?
Speaker 4: No, I really had so much fun. I just don't
Speaker 4: even know.
Speaker 5: I'm wondering what her coffee order is.
Speaker 3: Is it weird?
Speaker 5: Guys? She stayed the night and he took her out
Speaker 5: to coffee again that morning?
Speaker 2: Oh spoon, maybe he wanted to be sticks.
Speaker 1: But we're gonna on that note. Call Alex for you
Speaker 1: and try and get your second date update. Okay, okay,
Speaker 1: that's two. I think here we go. Hello, Hey, is
Speaker 1: this Alex?
Speaker 2: Uh No?
Speaker 7: This is Alan Alan?
Speaker 5: Do you know Alex?
Speaker 7: No? This is Alan. I'm pretty sure I know my name.
Speaker 1: I don't know the radio show calling him? You didn't
Speaker 1: have a roommate named Alex or something or someone who
Speaker 1: shares this?
Speaker 7: Phol No, who is this heying on?
Speaker 1: You were a radio show. We're called Brook and Jeffrey
Speaker 1: in the morning.
Speaker 5: Can we get the name wrong?
Speaker 7: Wow?
Speaker 1: I don't think so, I repeated.
Speaker 3: It's a time.
Speaker 1: One of our listeners is a girl that says that
Speaker 1: she went on a date with you. Did you go
Speaker 1: out with someone recently that you met at a jim.
Speaker 7: I'm pretty sure I know you're talking about Vanessa.
Speaker 2: Uh huh yeah, yeah, okay, Oh no, did she get
Speaker 2: your name wrong?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 7: I mean, honestly, the day was going great, but she
Speaker 7: just kept calling me all these different names. She called
Speaker 7: me Andrew, she called me Andy who, she called me
Speaker 7: Alan at one point, she got my name right at
Speaker 7: one point. Yeah, now she called me Aaron like a
Speaker 7: second later.
Speaker 5: I don't get it though.
Speaker 2: It sounds like you're mad at her, but I mean,
Speaker 2: this is the woman that stayed the night at your.
Speaker 5: House, right, yeah.
Speaker 7: I mean it was crazy, like I kept taking us
Speaker 7: to Starbucks because they would call my name out like
Speaker 7: it was I was trying to get her on.
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, Roy.
Speaker 1: She mentioned going to the coffee shop a bunch of
Speaker 1: times during your day, but she said it's because you
Speaker 1: were a coffee addict. That's what you told her.
Speaker 7: I was just trying to be subtle and that this
Speaker 7: is my name, Like, oh.
Speaker 2: My god, so you are going taking her so that
Speaker 2: the Barissa would call out your name Alan.
Speaker 7: So they're yelling my name over and all.
Speaker 5: That is so uncomfortable. Why didn't you tell me, why
Speaker 5: weren't you just more direct.
Speaker 3: Or like I did.
Speaker 7: I did correct her, but after the second time of
Speaker 7: correcting her, I just thought Starbucks would fix it, right,
Speaker 7: But you corrected her twice.
Speaker 2: Of course, what did she say when you told her
Speaker 2: that's not my name, my name's Alan.
Speaker 3: She just smiled and said okay, hunts in her eyes,
Speaker 3: looking at him like whatever you say.
Speaker 7: I was ready to suggest, like tattoos, that we could
Speaker 7: get over each of our names.
Speaker 1: But I'm willing to bet that if we talked to
Speaker 1: her randomly right now, that she would get your name right.
Speaker 1: And we should put it to the test, because she's
Speaker 1: randomly on the phone right now, listening and wanting to
Speaker 1: talk to you Allan, Hi, Hi.
Speaker 7: I don't really know what to say.
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, I'm so embarrassed. I listen to your
Speaker 4: whole thing. I just kind of have a bad memory sometimes,
Speaker 4: like if I'm wrapped up in the moment, I don't
Speaker 4: pay attention to the details.
Speaker 5: Oh you're just awful with name.
Speaker 1: I get that for a moment, but for a fourteen
Speaker 1: hour day that's just a little longer than a moment.
Speaker 2: You know, details is like what color shirt he's wearing,
Speaker 2: not what his name.
Speaker 4: Is, but like just because we're in Starbucks. I mean,
Speaker 4: I'm not like staring at his cup to see what
Speaker 4: was written. Or we're talking having fun. I'm not listening
Speaker 4: to hear what his name is when they call it out.
Speaker 1: Okay, we're still waiting for that that. I'm sorry for
Speaker 1: getting your name. You want to throw that in there, that's.
Speaker 4: Okay, Alan, I'm so sorry. I feel foolish. I was
Speaker 4: having so much fun though.
Speaker 7: Look, I I don't know what to tell you. I mean,
Speaker 7: it was just very awkward. You could remember. I don't
Speaker 7: know why. Why can't you remember my name? Why is
Speaker 7: it so hard?
Speaker 4: Alan is a pretty common name, Like it doesn't stay out.
Speaker 7: We know it's my fault.
Speaker 4: I'm not saying it's your fault. I mean maybe we
Speaker 4: can blame whoever named you a little bit. They could
Speaker 4: have been a little more creative.
Speaker 7: Alan.
Speaker 1: Isn't your mom or your dad that you should assign?
Speaker 1: Blame your grandfather.
Speaker 2: He's gonna there's no way you're an Alan without being
Speaker 2: a junior or a second or something.
Speaker 4: It looks like I would have remembered it better if
Speaker 4: you were like Felix or bud like just something that
Speaker 4: really kind of stands out.
Speaker 5: But wait, spud like a nickname like a potato, like.
Speaker 4: A tater see, you remember you can do that association
Speaker 4: and stand out.
Speaker 5: So yeah, well, I mean that could be a positive.
Speaker 2: Maybe you could come up with a cute pet name
Speaker 2: for him and then you never have to call him Allan,
Speaker 2: him bean like coffee bean.
Speaker 7: My name is Alan. I just like to be called that,
Speaker 7: I mean, but.
Speaker 1: It's not working for you.
Speaker 2: Is my uncle's name was Alan and he went by
Speaker 2: Land like the second half of Allan.
Speaker 5: I think that's kind of cool.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you could go like a train or something like that, A.
Speaker 5: To the double l A.
Speaker 7: I don't like any of these ideas. I'll give you
Speaker 7: this right. If you can spell my name right now,
Speaker 7: then I will go out with you again.
Speaker 1: Oh is that a challenge to Vanessa? It's a good point,
Speaker 1: Like at this point she's seen it written out three
Speaker 1: times at three different starbuck doors.
Speaker 5: I mean, and all you can really screw up is
Speaker 5: the LS on this one.
Speaker 1: I don't know nowadays, as long as.
Speaker 4: To spell your name, like I said, I wasn't staring
Speaker 4: at the coffee cuffs the whole time. I was steering
Speaker 4: at you.
Speaker 2: Maybe if she could just tell you what your eye
Speaker 2: color is, it could prove that she really was paying attention.
Speaker 7: We're not changing the test. You have to spell my name.
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, this a good opportunity for you, Vanessa. If
Speaker 1: you get his name spelled correctly, then we will send
Speaker 1: you guys out on a day and pay for it.
Speaker 2: Do we have one of those like game show timers
Speaker 2: to put on Ye Jeopardy.
Speaker 1: Just go with your guys, if you're gonna spell it,
Speaker 1: if it's meant to be.
Speaker 5: This is like the best spelling beach Championship ever.
Speaker 1: All right, here we go.
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, bread, I'm gonna go with a L L.
Speaker 2: A N one L when there's an A.
Speaker 1: But the with a was it right?
Speaker 7: No, there's only one L.
Speaker 4: Well, you said I was cute and you had a
Speaker 4: good time. We cannot ruin the whole thing just based
Speaker 4: on this mistake I'm making.
Speaker 1: She does have a point other than that, there was
Speaker 1: nothing crazy that happened.
Speaker 5: Right, pretty crazy.
Speaker 4: Like crazy good?
Speaker 2: I mean, you liked her so much, you gave her
Speaker 2: one last shot at the coffee shop.
Speaker 7: Go back on the test, Okay, I'll give you one
Speaker 7: more shot, one more chance to spell it.
Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, well this should be easy.
Speaker 7: Go ahead, the lay up right now.
Speaker 4: I was really listening to how you spelled it in
Speaker 4: the end, I was just listening to your voice.
Speaker 1: It spell it different than you did the first time.
Speaker 4: Okay, I'll change from what I did. I'm going to
Speaker 4: go with a L L E. N Oh.
Speaker 5: Literally, that's actually worse.
Speaker 4: I got it wrong again. How is it even possible?
Speaker 7: Al?
Speaker 1: Yeah, look, Jeffrey in the morning, man, if I had
Speaker 1: a nickel for every second date that didn't happen because
Speaker 1: somebody failed a spelling test, that's like what the sixth
Speaker 1: or seventh time that that's happened? That job?
Speaker 2: Like, I'm terrible at names, but how is that even possible?
Speaker 1: You how to spell it? Alan is such a rare,
Speaker 1: exotic name. I doubt anybody could spell and right. Even
Speaker 1: Alan himself probably messes it up on his own taxi.
Speaker 5: You think that maybe he spelled it wrong?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Four?
Speaker 5: Or yeah, let's blame him, Jeffy.
Speaker 1: Everybody else did?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't think so.
Speaker 1: No second date, And honestly, I don't think anybody was
Speaker 1: that sad about it.
Speaker 5: I like how Jose didn't think that not knowing his
Speaker 5: name was a big red.
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Did you know from one
Speaker 1: tiny thing?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Laugh, that was funny, but yeah, no date for them
Speaker 1: doesn't mean we can't get a date for you though.
Speaker 1: If you ever want to email the show, we'll call
Speaker 1: the person who wasn't calling you back. You could check
Speaker 1: out all of our podcasts up wherever you get yours
Speaker 1: A
