Speaker 1: New week new show. Hey, it's Brook and Jeffrey in
Speaker 1: the morning and this is your Second Date podcast. We
Speaker 1: got a new episode today that really is about not
Speaker 1: jumping to conclusions and some miscommunications is definitely I feel
Speaker 1: like the theme today it gets messy, real messy. But
Speaker 1: first comments, what do you got, alexis? Yeah, Grease said,
Speaker 1: nothing ever prepares me for some of this insanity. Since
Speaker 1: discovering the show, I've been heavily entertained, and I thought
Speaker 1: London Dating was terrible, but maybe it's not. Oh wow,
Speaker 1: I know we still can't afford at our station to
Speaker 1: do international calling. Yeah, so someday we'll get into that.
Speaker 1: I'd be attracted to every international listener that calls in.
Speaker 2: I love act much.
Speaker 1: I feel like they're all great people. Goud, it's so funny.
Speaker 1: All right, let's start your brand new Second Date update
Speaker 1: right now.
Speaker 2: Second Date Updated.
Speaker 3: I am very curious to hear from the listener who
Speaker 3: wrote to us today, because in her email, she says
Speaker 3: she met a guy one.
Speaker 2: Time, okay, on an app. They never went on an
Speaker 2: actual date.
Speaker 3: Honestly, they don't really know anything about each other at
Speaker 3: allconnection but.
Speaker 2: Yeah, still she called him quote.
Speaker 3: Maybe the most romantic man I've ever met in my
Speaker 3: entire life.
Speaker 1: How I know, be romantic without knowing anything about each other.
Speaker 3: I'm wondering the same thing. How does she reach that conclusion?
Speaker 3: Let's find out. Her name is Tilly and she's on
Speaker 3: the line right now. So, Tilly, I just got to say,
Speaker 3: your email sounds full blown crazy?
Speaker 2: Is that? No?
Speaker 4: It is crazy. That's literally why I'm calling you, because, like,
Speaker 4: I've never heard of a situation like this. I've never
Speaker 4: been in a situation like this.
Speaker 3: You didn't watch a guy propose in the most romantic
Speaker 3: way possible and then you fell in love with him
Speaker 3: because you saw how romantic he was.
Speaker 1: I think it's a movie.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that could be it.
Speaker 4: I mean it felt like a movie, like the me
Speaker 4: cute moment.
Speaker 1: Okay, if we're talking movie level romance, you've got to
Speaker 1: set the whole scene form.
Speaker 2: Yeah, tell us the whole story.
Speaker 4: Okay, So here's the story. I'm at the gym, and
Speaker 4: I'm at like a pretty high end gym. I got lucky,
Speaker 4: I got up, you know, a membership through my work situation.
Speaker 1: Okay, boogie, It's like one of.
Speaker 4: The fancy gyms. There's like a tendance and there's like
Speaker 4: a juice cafe in the back. I've been working out.
Speaker 4: I'm actually almost done. Like I'm on my treadmill. I'm
Speaker 4: cooling down, okay, and this good looking man comes up
Speaker 4: on the treadmill next to me and we small talk.
Speaker 4: It's nothing crazy, Like we talked for like less than
Speaker 4: thirty seconds. Like it was quick.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but the timing's good because you're just walking and
Speaker 1: he's just starting.
Speaker 4: So yeah, and I don't really think anything of it,
Speaker 4: like go into the locker room, I change. Okay, Literally,
Speaker 4: as I'm walking to my car, I hear miss miss
Speaker 4: wait wait. I turn around. It's one of the gym attendants.
Speaker 4: He has flowers and a card from this man that
Speaker 4: I just met.
Speaker 5: Whoa like.
Speaker 4: Honestly, this is part of the mystery, because how did
Speaker 4: this man secure flowers that fast.
Speaker 1: And a card? Okay, I am so jaded that my
Speaker 1: first thought is he's been watching you and was prepared
Speaker 1: for this moment.
Speaker 2: Before in the gym.
Speaker 4: I guess it's possible that I certainly didn't recognize him
Speaker 4: at all.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: It felt spontaneous. That's crazy.
Speaker 4: It felt very spontaneous, which was part of the reason
Speaker 4: I'm like, how did you manage that? But there's a
Speaker 4: number on the card, so I obviously text the number
Speaker 4: and I'm like, thank you so much for the flowers.
Speaker 4: I'm so flattered. But he is not the one that
Speaker 4: answered the text. It was somebody that was like, oh,
Speaker 4: this is his assistant.
Speaker 3: Oh make it happen even quicker.
Speaker 1: It's kind of weird that he gave you his assistant's
Speaker 1: phone number and not his phone umber.
Speaker 3: It's just about to say that unless he wanted her
Speaker 3: to know that he had an assistant like Texter, yea,
Speaker 3: that's possible.
Speaker 2: It's something jose would for sure do the way I
Speaker 2: have two agents.
Speaker 5: You don't know if anybody realize.
Speaker 1: Okay, get away from Hey, did you ever actually talk
Speaker 1: to him?
Speaker 5: Like?
Speaker 1: Do we know his name?
Speaker 4: That's the thing, I don't know his name?
Speaker 5: What?
Speaker 2: Who?
Speaker 1: You didn't even send a good first text introducing himself.
Speaker 4: No, the assistant says there is actually a gift waiting
Speaker 4: for you at a jewelry store and gives me an address.
Speaker 2: Oh no, whoa, whoa.
Speaker 1: I don't know if this is romantic anymore. Now I'm
Speaker 1: getting worried.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, nobody cares what you think. It's only a
Speaker 2: tilling sugar baby situation.
Speaker 1: I feels like I don't have a good personality, so
Speaker 1: let me buy you. Did you go to the jewelry store?
Speaker 4: I was curious, of course I went. I mean it
Speaker 4: for the plot.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, you're doing this for the plot alone. So
Speaker 3: we support you in this decision. What happened at the
Speaker 3: jewelry store.
Speaker 4: I go to the jewelry store and there is a
Speaker 4: bracelet waiting there for me, and I will say, like,
Speaker 4: I don't feel like I can be bought, but I
Speaker 4: can be impressed. And it's sixteen flowers and a bracelet.
Speaker 4: I have impressed, even though I don't know anything about him,
Speaker 4: including his name.
Speaker 2: So we yeah, oh my god, this is wild.
Speaker 1: There's no setup of a date, okay.
Speaker 4: So I get the bracelet and then I text the
Speaker 4: only number I have back to this and I'm basically like,
Speaker 4: let's set this up, like how do we meet or whatever.
Speaker 4: So we set up a whole situation, a time and
Speaker 4: a place to meet, and then I go there and
Speaker 4: he doesn't show up, and now nobody's answering this number.
Speaker 2: This rings like he does this, like he's set the trap.
Speaker 2: He gives you jewelry. He doesn't show up. Why now
Speaker 2: you're like, what is going on?
Speaker 3: And now you have to get a hold of Yes,
Speaker 3: I want to be in that game.
Speaker 1: Doesn't sound odd.
Speaker 2: It sounds like he's gonna play a lot of games.
Speaker 1: With I mean, why would he stand you up? Like?
Speaker 1: That's what I don't get.
Speaker 4: My friends think maybe he's married or maybe that was
Speaker 4: some sort of scam. But if it was a scam,
Speaker 4: then like where's the request to let's get my money
Speaker 4: or whatever.
Speaker 1: I don't know, but you better make sure that bracelet
Speaker 1: doesn't have a tracker in it. Yeah, this is this
Speaker 1: is a wild story.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I was kind of skeptical at the
Speaker 3: start of this when you said he was the most
Speaker 3: romantic guy of all time, But after hearing the story,
Speaker 3: I think Brooke is one hundred percent sold.
Speaker 2: In fact, she's probably ready to.
Speaker 3: Leave her husband depending on how this Paul goes when
Speaker 3: we come back.
Speaker 1: Nameless man, I already don't trust this guy.
Speaker 2: You're only saying that because you're jealous.
Speaker 3: Brooke.
Speaker 2: We're gonna call this mystery guy in just a second or.
Speaker 1: His assistant, you mean, wherever it is.
Speaker 3: I'm excited to talk to anybody that picks up this
Speaker 3: phone number and try and get you your second date update.
Speaker 3: Right after this second date update, our listener Tilly told
Speaker 3: us in part one that she met the most romantic
Speaker 3: guy ever, and wow, she was not kidding meta guy
Speaker 3: on the treadmill at the gym.
Speaker 2: They talked for thirty.
Speaker 3: Seconds, but as she's leaving just a few minutes later,
Speaker 3: she's being chased down handed a giant bouquet of flowers,
Speaker 3: not by him, like the gym assistant guy is told
Speaker 3: it's from treadmill dude. He already has a handwritten note
Speaker 3: for her in a phone number for his assistant. Later,
Speaker 3: she's told there's a necklace and a bracelet waiting for
Speaker 3: her at a jewelry store, which turns out to be true.
Speaker 1: Well, she is just a bracelet. I mean, don't oversell it.
Speaker 2: Never find this guy sucks forge. No, I thought he
Speaker 2: was romantic. You guys are right, he's a looser gems
Speaker 2: on it.
Speaker 3: No, okay, it was pretty cool until the weird part
Speaker 3: was she was stood up by him waiting at a
Speaker 3: coffee shop where she thought they were gonna meet Tilly.
Speaker 1: Are you nervous? Are you like? What are you feeling
Speaker 1: right now at this.
Speaker 4: Point, it's so crazy that I'm assuming it's not gonna
Speaker 4: work out, but I cannot move on until I know
Speaker 4: what the story is.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, we love it.
Speaker 3: The bottom line is we need to figure out who
Speaker 3: this guy is or figure out some answer so till
Speaker 3: he can get some peace of mind.
Speaker 1: All we have is his assistant's number, right, So that's
Speaker 1: who we're calling.
Speaker 3: Yes, So that's all we have to go off of.
Speaker 3: We're just gonna call it and see what happens.
Speaker 1: I don't know, but be polite, like this guy sounds professional.
Speaker 1: We need to keep it buttoned up.
Speaker 2: I would take that advice and turn it right around
Speaker 2: at yourself. That'd be really good. If he has an assistant,
Speaker 2: he's always busy. Like we called, she's gonna be like
Speaker 2: he's not available, and we'll see. Let's find out only
Speaker 2: one way to know. I'm gonna dial this number. We'll
Speaker 2: see who picks up and what happens. But here we go.
Speaker 6: Jeff, Hello, Hi, uh Hi, my name is Jeff Professional Jeff.
Speaker 2: I don't even know who.
Speaker 3: This is, so hello, yeah, Hi, Sorry, So I work
Speaker 3: for a radio show called Broken Jeffrey in the Morning,
Speaker 3: and uh, This is gonna sound kind of odd because
Speaker 3: I don't really know who I'm calling for here. But
Speaker 3: we have a woman who is a friend of the show.
Speaker 3: Her name is Tilly, and I believe your boss sent
Speaker 3: her flowers and gave her a bracelet.
Speaker 2: You have the wrong person.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't. I don't want to talk about this.
Speaker 2: Well, just hold on. Do you know a lot about this?
Speaker 1: I mean, you don't want to talk about this. What
Speaker 1: the heck are you kidding me?
Speaker 2: Did he have Oh?
Speaker 1: No, Oh, he is not going to stand up up?
Speaker 1: You better call him back.
Speaker 2: It's probably because you were scaring him broke. I'm going
Speaker 2: to dial it again. Here we go.
Speaker 5: Hold on, I don't want to talk about this.
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, a little hot, thank you.
Speaker 2: Listen.
Speaker 3: We're not trying to get into anybody's business here, especially
Speaker 3: anybody with a lot of money, because our lawyers aren't
Speaker 3: good enough to handle anything like that.
Speaker 2: I know, it seems like we don't.
Speaker 3: The thing is, we're just reaching out because we need
Speaker 3: to get a general answer about what happened with Tilly
Speaker 3: and this guy that we're trying to.
Speaker 2: Get a hold of.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because it started out romantic and now it's feeling
Speaker 1: not so great.
Speaker 3: That's the thing you don't know is our friend Tilly
Speaker 3: was completely blown away by this gesture. I'm assuming from
Speaker 3: your boss. I still don't know.
Speaker 2: Yes, that's true closure here.
Speaker 3: But we're talking way too much, so I should just
Speaker 3: let you say something if you're still there.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, what is the most unprofessional assistants?
Speaker 2: Okay? Do you know what I'm talking about with Tilly?
Speaker 5: I do?
Speaker 3: Okay, Well, what's going on?
Speaker 2: Can you fill us in because we're very confused?
Speaker 5: Okay, So here's the deal. This guy messed up. It's
Speaker 5: way different than I thought it was going to go up.
Speaker 2: What got messed up?
Speaker 5: I'm not the guy that was on the treadmill.
Speaker 1: So you're the assistant.
Speaker 2: You're the assistant.
Speaker 5: I'm an assistant. I'm an assistant at the gym.
Speaker 1: What huh wait wait, you're a gym employee. You work
Speaker 1: at the gym.
Speaker 5: I'm the one that brought her the flowers.
Speaker 1: Oh, you're the one that rushed out and brought the
Speaker 1: flowers from the treadmill.
Speaker 2: With the no yes, okay, okay.
Speaker 1: Why would she have your number? I thought she had
Speaker 1: the assistants number.
Speaker 5: This whole thing got messed up. That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 5: The whole thing got messed up.
Speaker 3: What the whole thing that you You're going to have
Speaker 3: to explain a little bit because we we were under
Speaker 3: the impression we were calling the assistant of the rich
Speaker 3: guy on the treadmill.
Speaker 5: I don't know if he has an assistant. I don't know.
Speaker 1: Do you have a name? What's your name?
Speaker 5: Mitchell?
Speaker 2: Mitchell? So tell us what you do know.
Speaker 5: I know I've had a crush on her for two months.
Speaker 2: You've had a crush on Tilly?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 2: What the heck? Wait? Wait wait?
Speaker 1: Were the flowers not from the guy? Were the flowers
Speaker 1: from you?
Speaker 5: Yes?
Speaker 2: Oh? Oh on what's a treadmill guy? Where where's he?
Speaker 1: What the height?
Speaker 2: You're saying the flowers were from him?
Speaker 1: Is what he's saying.
Speaker 5: I'd been planning to approach her for a couple of months.
Speaker 5: I did not know how to do it.
Speaker 3: Okay, because you see her in the gym, because you
Speaker 3: worked there.
Speaker 5: And I had flowers waiting for her that day.
Speaker 1: Why didn't you take credit for the flowers?
Speaker 5: Because I'm not rich. When I walked out to give
Speaker 5: her the flowers, it was like she was seeing just
Speaker 5: an employee.
Speaker 1: She didn't even say she liked rich guys though.
Speaker 5: People go to that gym to meet rich guys.
Speaker 1: Mitchell because her work gives her a free membership there.
Speaker 1: That's why she goes to the gym, and also.
Speaker 5: The big rich guys.
Speaker 3: No, to his credit, it can be both.
Speaker 1: So wait, why I don't understand?
Speaker 4: Still, I don't understand either. What is going on?
Speaker 7: Let's just break the facade and tell you, because Mitchell
Speaker 7: Tilly has actually been listening to this call on the
Speaker 7: other line, waiting to talk to I mean, not necessarily you,
Speaker 7: but I guess yeah you.
Speaker 1: Well, she was waiting to talk to whoever gave her
Speaker 1: the flowers and the bracelet, which we haven't even gotten
Speaker 1: a close answer to the bracelet.
Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, so crazy. Hold on, let's clear this up.
Speaker 4: So you've had a crush on me, You were planning
Speaker 4: a big romantic gesture, and then while you were in
Speaker 4: the midst of doing it, you somehow decided that I
Speaker 4: was just a gold digger and that the best course
Speaker 4: of action would be.
Speaker 2: To lie to me, I mean, a gold maybe bracelet digger.
Speaker 5: I wasn't just assuming you were a gold digger, isn't
Speaker 5: that what you said?
Speaker 6: You said.
Speaker 4: You came out and I looked at you like you
Speaker 4: were just an employee at the gym, even though you
Speaker 4: are an employee at the gym, and I was just
Speaker 4: leaving the gym.
Speaker 5: Let's be honest, in the real world, you're not going
Speaker 5: out with the gym assistant. And as I was about
Speaker 5: to give you the flowers, I saw that look on
Speaker 5: your face, and that's when I knew.
Speaker 4: That, who wow, it's so ridiculous. The look on my
Speaker 4: face would have been, why is the gymasistn't running at
Speaker 4: me with flowers?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Nice? I mean for you to put all this on me.
Speaker 4: You built this entire fantasy up in your head over
Speaker 4: the course of two months, only to just decide that
Speaker 4: that's what I want. But how dare I?
Speaker 5: Like?
Speaker 4: What are you even saying? This doesn't make any sense?
Speaker 5: And that's why I didn't go to the coffee shop.
Speaker 5: I figured it would end something like this, and that's
Speaker 5: what happened.
Speaker 4: You didn't figure it would end something like this because
Speaker 4: you figured it would never start, because you figured I
Speaker 4: was gonna judge you based on your job or how
Speaker 4: much money you had.
Speaker 5: I really like you to focus just a little more,
Speaker 5: just a little more on the flowers and bracelet.
Speaker 1: You got to hear her.
Speaker 4: I'm going to tell you what. I'm going to return
Speaker 4: the bracelet because I don't care what anybody's job is.
Speaker 4: But if that's what you think of me, then there's
Speaker 4: nothing here.
Speaker 1: Oh Mitchell, you doug your own grave man.
Speaker 5: So are you saying I can't like just say hello
Speaker 5: to you anymore when you come to the gamble.
Speaker 4: I can't imagine why you would want to at this point.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, dude, job, if he's at the front, you
Speaker 1: might have to.
Speaker 2: At least needs to like scan your card in a
Speaker 2: bare minimum.
Speaker 1: But h Mitchell, you need to have more confidence. She
Speaker 1: could have really fallen for you had you played this
Speaker 1: totally differently.
Speaker 5: I just I think you're wrong there. I don't think
Speaker 5: it was going to So.
Speaker 4: I'm going to tell you what you should do. Continue
Speaker 4: to judge people before you know them at all, and
Speaker 4: see how well that works out for you, because clearly
Speaker 4: it's going great.
Speaker 1: That was sarcasm, Mitchell. If you didn't catch it, yeah, well.
Speaker 3: It's at this point that I would like to jump
Speaker 3: in and offer another date exactly.
Speaker 1: I love when the most romantic stories end this way. Yeah.
Speaker 3: See Now, normally we would ask the person that we're calling,
Speaker 3: but in this situation, since so much has happened and
Speaker 3: things have changed, Tilly will ask you first.
Speaker 4: Are you out of your mind?
Speaker 7: Yes?
Speaker 2: I only said that because Brooke was making me ask
Speaker 2: the question, So it's really her fault.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's yeah, bru.
Speaker 2: That was really awful.
Speaker 3: So this call didn't go the way that we wanted
Speaker 3: it to go. But Mitchell, do you have any last
Speaker 3: words for us or for Tilly?
Speaker 5: Look, I'm so sorry this whole thing went this way.
Speaker 5: It was a misunderstanding from get go. But Tilly, if
Speaker 5: you could just next time you're at the gym, wipe
Speaker 5: down the equipment after you use it.
Speaker 2: Oh, he has been watching her the entire time.
Speaker 4: That type of girl, Tilly, And now we're just like
Speaker 4: I always wiped down my equipment.
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, at.
Speaker 3: Least Mitchell got a shot in on the way out,
Speaker 3: So there you go, Mitchell, win for you.
Speaker 2: Rook Jeffrey in the morning. That definitely blew up in
Speaker 2: the guy's face.
Speaker 5: Glory.
Speaker 1: It was a good lesson though, to not assume things
Speaker 1: about people.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but if I am reading the textboard right, a
Speaker 3: lot of people are.
Speaker 2: Saying till he needed to give Mitchell a break.
Speaker 1: Really so kind of I felt bad she waited thirty
Speaker 1: minutes for a coffee shop for him to not show up. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he ditched her. He never showed up, and then he
Speaker 1: accused her of being a gold digger without even knowing her.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I understand that idea. But listen to this
Speaker 3: text At seven eighty five, nine to two. Someone said, clearly,
Speaker 3: Mitchell is a guy who does not value himself. He
Speaker 3: has low self image, low self esteem. But we should
Speaker 3: still see him for what he is, a regular guy
Speaker 3: who had a big crush on a girl for two months. Yes,
Speaker 3: he had a bad plan, but he has a good heart.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but to me, that means you need to work
Speaker 1: on yourself and get yourself image up before you're You
Speaker 1: gotta love yourself, man, before you can love somebody else.
Speaker 1: That's just how it goes.
Speaker 3: Doesn't excuse leaving someone on a date yet, that is true.
Speaker 3: I mean, all that is really well said. I do
Speaker 3: hope Mitchell knows that he's not the worst person in
Speaker 3: the world before he buys a gift for his next
Speaker 3: Jim crush.
Speaker 2: By them gifts immediately, he's like.
Speaker 1: I'm broke, what do I think it? He's got a
Speaker 1: whole bracelet to regift, a whole Jim hot woman.
Speaker 3: And I also hope Mitchell subscribes to our YouTube page
Speaker 3: and he listens to all of our second date updates
Speaker 3: while he's wiping sweat off of all the gym equipment,
Speaker 3: because you know.
Speaker 1: Those high end clients don't do it themselves.
Speaker 2: No, they don't. Go check that out.
Speaker 3: If you haven't subscribed to our podcast, they're up available
Speaker 3: wherever you get yours.
Speaker 2: That Brooke and Jeffrey
