Speaker 5: Ye.
Speaker 2: All right, let's get to the podcast. It's starting right now,
Speaker 2: Brook and Jeffrey in the Morning. Second date updates.
Speaker 6: How many times have we heard guys come on this
Speaker 6: show and say, oh man, I have a full proof
Speaker 6: way of meeting hot available ladies, and it works every time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then they're always on the show with us.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Today, though, shoe is on the other foot because there's
Speaker 6: a woman on the phone who apparently has her own
Speaker 6: sneaky way of how to meet cute single dudes, and
Speaker 6: I wonder if we're going to be shaking our heads
Speaker 6: at her too.
Speaker 7: Let's walk into the show, Lily, Lily, how you doing.
Speaker 3: Hey, I'm good. Thanks? How are you doing good?
Speaker 2: Are you outside of a clinic as we speak?
Speaker 3: You found me out? Now I know why he won't
Speaker 3: call me back.
Speaker 6: Well, we're curious about this strategy that you have, but
Speaker 6: first tell us.
Speaker 7: About the guy.
Speaker 3: Well, the guy and the strategy kind of go hand
Speaker 3: in hand.
Speaker 6: Oh okay, Well in that case, it race what I
Speaker 6: just said and tell us about the strategy.
Speaker 3: Oh man, I guess it sounds silly, but it always
Speaker 3: cheers me up. So I was having a really bad day.
Speaker 3: And when I have bad days, I take a little
Speaker 3: a cute out of the breakfast at Tiffany's Handbook where
Speaker 3: I'll dress up and make myself feel really pretty, and
Speaker 3: I'll go to like some random store and if there's
Speaker 3: a cute guy that's working there, I'll i don't know,
Speaker 3: maybe put on a little bit of the stupid girl
Speaker 3: act and get him to sort of try to talk to.
Speaker 2: Me and what like are these shoes shopping?
Speaker 3: I can't see air, but it just it makes me
Speaker 3: feel a little bit better about myself when I'm feeling down.
Speaker 3: So this particular day, I went to a pet store and.
Speaker 2: Oh, okay, I I was picturing you in a mall
Speaker 2: or something, all right. I was like, it's full of
Speaker 2: high school work. We're in a pet store.
Speaker 3: A pet store, and you know, there's always cute animals,
Speaker 3: which is delightful, and there's a really cute guy working there.
Speaker 4: A guy who likes animals.
Speaker 3: Right exactly. So I'm st wandering around like the cat section,
Speaker 3: like with the cat beds and stuff. And when he
Speaker 3: passed by, I said, I'm so sorry. These dog beds
Speaker 3: just look so itty bitty, like do you.
Speaker 5: Have anything.
Speaker 3: A little bigger? Then he's all like, oh, you're in
Speaker 3: the cat section, here's the dog beds. And we kind
Speaker 3: of hit it off and we started chatting and.
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, so you use it as a conversation starter.
Speaker 6: Basically, Yeah, I could see how that would work for
Speaker 6: a guy, because dudes like to come in and be
Speaker 6: helpful and knowledgeable to a woman to make them feel
Speaker 6: good too.
Speaker 4: We would not pick up that you were acting Yeah
Speaker 4: more helpless woman.
Speaker 1: This is an opportunity to explain.
Speaker 2: I cannot resist.
Speaker 7: And so did we learn this guy's name yet?
Speaker 3: Well, his name is Ethan, and he's really cute. He
Speaker 3: was really sweet. I actually really liked him, and we
Speaker 3: kind of hit it off and we ended up exchanging numbers.
Speaker 2: Man, you are good at this.
Speaker 3: Well, gosh, there's the rest of the story. So I
Speaker 3: didn't hear anything from him, and so I tried texting
Speaker 3: him and just said, oh, you know, you were so helpful,
Speaker 3: and I just have like a couple other questions, like
Speaker 3: are you going to be in tonight? When we be
Speaker 3: working next? Could I like drop in? And he wasn't
Speaker 3: really responding and when he would he would never be working.
Speaker 3: When I was like, oh, are you going to be in?
Speaker 1: I mean, do you think you made it too professional
Speaker 1: and not flirty enough on the text?
Speaker 3: I mean I was trying to make it flirty. Okay,
Speaker 3: there are a fewel things in there, like I just
Speaker 3: such a great time chatty with you, and you're so helpful.
Speaker 6: And yeah, is there anything in your mind, like thinking
Speaker 6: back on your interaction where maybe something could have been
Speaker 6: off or weirded him out.
Speaker 3: The only thing I can think of is that he
Speaker 3: really thinks that I'm stupid.
Speaker 4: Oh well, there's a fine line, right.
Speaker 2: That is the chance you play when you play the
Speaker 2: dumb game.
Speaker 8: Right.
Speaker 3: So here's my thing of the masters. I graduated from Oxford, Like, oh,
Speaker 3: I know that maybe sometimes that can be a little intimidating.
Speaker 3: So part of it is just like I don't know,
Speaker 3: I'm trying to counter that. I'm trying to like make
Speaker 3: myself more approachable and just you know.
Speaker 6: Well maybe like trying out like the dog food and
Speaker 6: tasting it yourself.
Speaker 7: I may have been one step over the line.
Speaker 1: But you guys never hung out, right, You never went
Speaker 1: on any sort of day outside of the pet store.
Speaker 3: No, And that's what I was trying to make happen,
Speaker 3: you know, And and it just he he wasn't really
Speaker 3: writing me back, and when he would, it was always
Speaker 3: just like I'm not working.
Speaker 1: Oh oh, that's also like yeah, totally, number.
Speaker 2: That's a good science.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: If it is something like I just blew it, like
Speaker 3: my icebreaker went horribly awry, I'd love your help to
Speaker 3: make me fix it a little bit.
Speaker 6: Okay, well, we're gonna we're gonna call Ethan for you
Speaker 6: here in just a second.
Speaker 7: If I could figure out how to use this darn phone.
Speaker 4: Je which button the one?
Speaker 7: It's the one that's I'm just gonna have somebody else
Speaker 7: do this.
Speaker 5: Anyway.
Speaker 7: We'll come back Collie and get your second date update
Speaker 7: right after this.
Speaker 2: Hold on Brook and Jeffrey in the morning. Second Date updates.
Speaker 6: If you missed the first part of today's Second Date,
Speaker 6: our caller Lily, Yeah, actually has a lot in common
Speaker 6: with someone else on this show.
Speaker 7: What's that talking about? Jose belangyos really?
Speaker 6: Because Lily admitted she kind of acted a little bit silly,
Speaker 6: played up her dumbness in order to meet someone of
Speaker 6: the opposite gender, and Jose does the exact same thing
Speaker 6: every single day on this show.
Speaker 4: It is true, believe it or I actually got decent
Speaker 4: grades in school.
Speaker 6: I'm not that he's playing it down. He actually has
Speaker 6: a doctorate from Harvard in a spell kinesiology for everyone.
Speaker 2: I don't even know what's there.
Speaker 6: See, I love that about it.
Speaker 2: He's so smart, he really is.
Speaker 4: But said that, you guys really don't think I'm smart,
Speaker 4: just like it's.
Speaker 7: Like with his love life.
Speaker 6: Maybe Lily played it up a little bit too much
Speaker 6: when she met Ethan at the pet store.
Speaker 7: She's worried.
Speaker 6: Maybe that's the reason he's not meeting up with her
Speaker 6: a second time.
Speaker 2: I mean it could be uncute to a certain point.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I was the one who was like, oh, this
Speaker 6: is brilliant because guys want to help.
Speaker 4: But I also agree there's a fine line.
Speaker 7: Is a total idiot?
Speaker 4: You don't want to date that either.
Speaker 2: Are you ready to be as smarty around him, Lily?
Speaker 2: Because in the.
Speaker 3: Middle, well, no, I mean I want to be with
Speaker 3: somebody who likes me for who I naturally am. But
Speaker 3: you know, I understand that it's not always great to
Speaker 3: start things out guns blazing with you know, Yony Granger.
Speaker 7: You just have to get smarter.
Speaker 1: Smart, right, Yeah, yeah, Money didn't go to Oxford, she
Speaker 1: went to Hogwarts.
Speaker 7: They're the same thing, very similar, the same country.
Speaker 6: All Right, I feel like we're blowing everybody's iq who's listening,
Speaker 6: So let's.
Speaker 7: Just call it then? All right, even I sound smart
Speaker 7: right now?
Speaker 4: Good luck to us.
Speaker 6: Hello, Hey, we're looking for Ethan speaking. Oh hey, sorry, Bud,
Speaker 6: Is this a bad time to call you? You sound
Speaker 6: like you're no.
Speaker 5: I just didn't recognize the number. I don't know what's up?
Speaker 5: Who is this?
Speaker 6: Yeah, we're a radio show, so we're gonna need you
Speaker 6: to pick up your energy to help our ratings stuff.
Speaker 2: We don't need to.
Speaker 8: I'm just I'm just used to the sales calls that
Speaker 8: I'm pretty worried.
Speaker 2: My god, I'm one of those that answers them all too.
Speaker 6: We're not really trying to sell you anything. We're trying
Speaker 6: to actually hook you up with one of our listeners.
Speaker 7: We'd love to take you off our list.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, okay, what's the scoop? I'm listening?
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 6: This is a woman that you've actually already met at
Speaker 6: the pet store while you work at Her name's Lily.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, ye Do you remember Lily?
Speaker 5: Yeah? I yes, I do.
Speaker 7: Okay, can we ask what you thought about her?
Speaker 5: Oh? Gosh, I don't. I say. It's it's not so
Speaker 5: much what I think about her. She seems great.
Speaker 8: It's just you know, circumstances around you know, the pet
Speaker 8: store and everything, and like, hold on a wait, circumstances.
Speaker 2: Hold on, Are you in a relationship? That's what it
Speaker 2: sounds like.
Speaker 6: Yeah, no, No, let me ask you a really easy question.
Speaker 6: Are you into Lily?
Speaker 7: Do you like her?
Speaker 1: Ah?
Speaker 8: Yeah, I just don't think the way that you know,
Speaker 8: through the pet store and everything like, it just wouldn't
Speaker 8: be appropriate.
Speaker 5: Does that make sense?
Speaker 7: Like, it doesn't mean.
Speaker 6: According to Lily, you gave her your phone number so
Speaker 6: you could understand how she would be a little bit confused.
Speaker 7: That you're not wanting to hang out with her, because
Speaker 7: she says she's tried several times.
Speaker 8: So to listen, in my defense, she's tried to meet
Speaker 8: me at the pet store for advice.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I don't know. You keep saying it's not
Speaker 2: appropriate with the pet store.
Speaker 1: What's Yeah, is there a pet store policy there?
Speaker 8: So yeah, I don't want to hang out at the store.
Speaker 7: Okay, so hang ou outside of the store. What's the problem.
Speaker 1: I think she's just using that as an opening to
Speaker 1: like talk to you. I don't think that that means
Speaker 1: like she would love if you asked her out.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I just I don't know.
Speaker 8: I'm not in a place right now where I was
Speaker 8: really even expecting something like this. I just I'm hesitant.
Speaker 8: There's you know, there's other things. It's it's sort of complicated.
Speaker 8: Does that make sense?
Speaker 2: Not really?
Speaker 6: And maybe maybe it's something where you don't want to
Speaker 6: talk to us because you don't know us. But it
Speaker 6: might be better if you just told Lily directly, because
Speaker 6: she's actually on the other line right now and has
Speaker 6: been listening to this entire conversation.
Speaker 5: Dude, Oh, Ethan.
Speaker 3: So yeah, I was listening and a lot of it
Speaker 3: didn't really makes sense to me either. I just I
Speaker 3: thought you were really cool, and you know, whatever it is,
Speaker 3: I just I love to know and you know, sort
Speaker 3: this out.
Speaker 5: No, I'm sorry, I'll cut to it.
Speaker 8: I don't really work there what.
Speaker 2: Wait wait, what did you say you don't work at
Speaker 2: the past?
Speaker 5: Yeah, well not anymore. What here's the thing. It's not
Speaker 5: like I got I got fired or anything. It's just
Speaker 5: that it was it's complicated.
Speaker 8: Uh, it's so I was doing community service?
Speaker 7: What voluntary community service?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 7: But he really has that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, that's just called volunteering, Jack, you don't call
Speaker 1: it community service. Yeah.
Speaker 7: You know, I have a question.
Speaker 8: Did you sign to us?
Speaker 3: I mean, I would also like to know if this
Speaker 3: was in voluntary community service?
Speaker 4: Voluntary?
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, it was. It was court ordered.
Speaker 2: That's okay.
Speaker 1: I want to ask why said people do all sorts
Speaker 1: of dumb things at certain points in their life.
Speaker 2: You sound like you are doing the time for what
Speaker 2: you did.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm definitely getting right again.
Speaker 3: I just asked if this was just for something stupid,
Speaker 3: or like, if you happen to murder someone chair, well.
Speaker 5: With murder, they don't really let you do community service.
Speaker 7: Yeah probably.
Speaker 2: Oh you know what, you took out three people? You
Speaker 2: know what, go to the pet store?
Speaker 5: Yeah, nothing like that. I really don't want to get
Speaker 5: into it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, sure, but I will say this.
Speaker 5: It did get me on TV, and that part was
Speaker 5: kind of cool.
Speaker 2: You sound proud of it.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 2: Wait, so TV gets to know, but radio doesn't get
Speaker 2: to know. Come on, throw us a bone, no, send
Speaker 2: us a link to watch it.
Speaker 5: I'm not going into it. I don't want any more
Speaker 5: attention about it.
Speaker 7: Okay, So let's let's move aside from the court stuff.
Speaker 2: But that was so fun, Joe.
Speaker 6: Let's get to the point of why we're calling. That's true,
Speaker 6: it's trying to get you and Lily to go out.
Speaker 6: What do you think about seeing Lily away from the pet.
Speaker 4: Store or from schools?
Speaker 2: We don't ye situation.
Speaker 5: One hundred feet up and nothing like that. I can
Speaker 5: still go by schools.
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, this is the kind of detective work we're
Speaker 1: doing for you, Lily.
Speaker 3: Thank you. I appreciate.
Speaker 7: Yeah, the idea of hanging out with Lily sounds good.
Speaker 5: No, it does. It's just I'm I'm a mess right now.
Speaker 5: I'm kind of a working process.
Speaker 3: Well, hey, if I if I can jump in really fast,
Speaker 3: if it's okay, Ethan, I'm I'm so sorry that you're
Speaker 3: feeling this way. And I honestly I don't care, like
Speaker 3: I you seem really cool, you seem awesome. I'd love
Speaker 3: to get to know you better. I mean, we all
Speaker 3: we all do silly things, you know. When I when
Speaker 3: I met you at the pet store, I had been
Speaker 3: having like the worst day ever, and I, you know,
Speaker 3: got gussied up, and I was trying to cheer myself
Speaker 3: up and was probably acting a little silly and dumber
Speaker 3: than I really am. Just slirt with a really cute
Speaker 3: guy who I liked, and I'd love for both of
Speaker 3: us to just sort of get to know each other
Speaker 3: for who we really are.
Speaker 5: Listen, I appreciate that.
Speaker 8: I just I feel right now that I am not
Speaker 8: composed enough to deserve somebody like you.
Speaker 3: Well and very sweet, but I'd love to be the
Speaker 3: judge of that.
Speaker 1: It sounds kind of like a project a little bit, Lily.
Speaker 1: I mean, he's saying he's not ready to date. He's
Speaker 1: got to work on himself.
Speaker 7: Girls love projects.
Speaker 2: Not a good idea.
Speaker 6: They've ever done a second date where it's been so
Speaker 6: hard to convince a convicted felon to go.
Speaker 5: Okay, not a felony.
Speaker 7: Okay, whatever it was.
Speaker 6: Lily is happy to look past all of your transgressions
Speaker 6: that you've done in your life and give you another chance.
Speaker 6: And we'll give you a chance and even pay for
Speaker 6: that date.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 7: Man, that's a great opportunity. We're all going out on
Speaker 7: the limb for you, if you'll say yes.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't know. I appreciate you paying for the
Speaker 5: first one, but I don't know.
Speaker 6: Okay, we'll pay for the next five days.
Speaker 4: Oh my god, we pay for.
Speaker 2: The wedd You're going to bankrupt the station.
Speaker 8: Bro.
Speaker 1: How about he just keeps Lily's number and when he's ready,
Speaker 1: can he text you?
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, totally, but I mean I have to say,
Speaker 3: you know it doesn't sound like you're really that into it,
Speaker 3: and I'm not. You know, I'm if you were interested,
Speaker 3: you'd be interested, So.
Speaker 5: You're right, you're right.
Speaker 3: I mean the way I'm looking at it is I got.
Speaker 5: To get right for me to be right for somebody else.
Speaker 2: Maybe if you showed the clips, you'd stop.
Speaker 6: Asking translation, he'll call you when the ankle monitors allowed
Speaker 6: to come off.
Speaker 3: Well, thank you for your help. I really appreciate it.
Speaker 3: I guess I can't get someone smart or dumb.
Speaker 6: Don't be so hard on yourself, Lily. You can't even
Speaker 6: get someone with a criminal record either.
Speaker 7: Somebody there maybe a smart criminal.
Speaker 3: Just kidding and Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 6: You know, it's funny when people openly brag about being
Speaker 6: on TV.
Speaker 7: I know Brooke does it all the time. She hops
Speaker 7: on her instant stories and goes to look at me.
Speaker 7: I'm on a local daytime TV show. I'm better than you.
Speaker 1: I don't say that. It sounds like someone's jealous. It's
Speaker 1: right jealous.
Speaker 2: But that's cute. I have been searching for this guy
Speaker 2: on Google. I cannot find what his crime is.
Speaker 5: Ye.
Speaker 2: It's driving me nuts.
Speaker 6: The thing is bragging about being on daytime TV is
Speaker 6: different than being on the news, which is where he was,
Speaker 6: and I'm just trying to think positive about it. I'm
Speaker 6: going to think that he was in the background of
Speaker 6: like a weather shot on the seven o'clock news, and.
Speaker 1: That's why you get arrested and have to do a
Speaker 1: community service.
Speaker 8: No.
Speaker 6: Yeah, he was like some meteorologists was trying to report
Speaker 6: on a storm and he was in the back waving.
Speaker 4: I want something.
Speaker 6: Juicy the crowd during a sports report at the stadium.
Speaker 1: I want like naked shoplifting charge or something like that.
Speaker 6: You know something dirty, You want dirty star, it's more fun.
Speaker 6: I'm trying to stay positive. I don't believe he was
Speaker 6: the top story of the night, Okay, although let's be honest,
Speaker 6: he probably was.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 6: Anyway, we couldn't help him today get a second day,
Speaker 6: but we could help you email the show.
Speaker 7: We'll call that person wasn't calling you back.
