Speaker 1: Brooking Jubiles. Second date date practice makes perfect pretty much
Speaker 1: everything you do right. Yes, that's why. If you haven't
Speaker 1: been out on a date in a long time and
Speaker 1: you don't have a lot of practice, you're probably going
Speaker 1: to screw it up. And that's what Doug thinks he
Speaker 1: did with his first date with a girl named Rachel
Speaker 1: that he met online. He's on the phone with us
Speaker 1: right now to do a second date update. And apparently
Speaker 1: Doug hasn't been out on a date in a long
Speaker 1: time and thinks that maybe his nerves got the best
Speaker 1: of him. What's up, Doug? How are you? I'm pretty good.
Speaker 1: How's everybody over there? Not too bad? Man? So? Yeah,
Speaker 1: how long has it been, First of all, since you
Speaker 1: went out with an actual woman. It's been close to
Speaker 1: a year. That's okay. I guess it's been a long
Speaker 1: time because I got out of a rather long relationship
Speaker 1: and was just waiting for the right girl in the
Speaker 1: right time. So you met this girl Rachel online that
Speaker 1: you want to call today? Yeah? And what did you
Speaker 1: like about her so much? Obviously her profile pick is
Speaker 1: very attractive, she was super cute. Our conversations online just
Speaker 1: seemed to have like a really good case and chemistry
Speaker 1: to it, and she's just got some really cool interest.
Speaker 1: You said that you think your nerves got the best
Speaker 1: to you. Yeah, I think, so, okay, what do you
Speaker 1: mean by that? Well, you know, I hadn't been out
Speaker 1: for a while, and I don't know. It was just
Speaker 1: I tried to go in preparing a little bit, like
Speaker 1: did you prepare? Like everything that you were going to
Speaker 1: say to her had a script a lot. No no, no, no,
Speaker 1: no no. I saw these really nice flowers in the
Speaker 1: store and I got them for her. You know, I
Speaker 1: just thought that she would really like them. Did she
Speaker 1: not respond well when he brought her flowers? I mean
Speaker 1: that's always a nice gesture. Yeah, I thought, you know,
Speaker 1: I just tried to do things like that, But that
Speaker 1: doesn't sound like nerves. Well, I did something else that maybe,
Speaker 1: you know, I went a little too far and my
Speaker 1: nerves got the best of me. Um. I read her
Speaker 1: a list that I wrote at dinner, and it was
Speaker 1: a list of ten things that I really liked about Rachel. Yeah.
Speaker 1: That's a little a little cheesy there, man. So you
Speaker 1: before the date, you sat down and wrote out a
Speaker 1: list of things that you like about her? Yes, it
Speaker 1: was things like, I really like your smile. It lights
Speaker 1: up a room, and and you have a weird sense
Speaker 1: of humor life like mine. I guess you know what, Hey, Doug,
Speaker 1: I never really asked you how long did you talk
Speaker 1: to her online? I mean we were talking for a
Speaker 1: couple of weeks, okay, because you didn't like meet her like.
Speaker 1: And then there was the next day You're going out
Speaker 1: and already there was there was a little bit of
Speaker 1: you know, and a list of ten things is a
Speaker 1: long list. What number did you realize maybe I should stop.
Speaker 1: I guess maybe around six. Well, it would have been
Speaker 1: kind of a jerk thing to be. Here's the one
Speaker 1: thing I like about you, Rachel. There's one. Did you
Speaker 1: tell her that you were nervous? Did you discuss up
Speaker 1: be like, oh god, I'm sorry. That kind of like
Speaker 1: that moment when I got to the middle of it
Speaker 1: where I was like, oh, I'm really nervous. Maybe this
Speaker 1: wasn't the right idea. What was her reaction after that?
Speaker 1: I mean she got a little quiet, but then you know,
Speaker 1: I tried to laugh it off. I guess I didn
Speaker 1: know this as we were leaving the restaurant that she
Speaker 1: left the flowers and you know, there was a weird,
Speaker 1: awkward moment of like do I go back and get
Speaker 1: them or I don't know. I was kind of nervous
Speaker 1: should have gone back and got them and then followed
Speaker 1: her back to her house. So when you said goodbye
Speaker 1: to her, did everything seem cool? Did you agree on
Speaker 1: a second date? Did she seem into it? Or I
Speaker 1: walked her to the car and I got a little
Speaker 1: pet kiss, and I don't know, it seems like she
Speaker 1: didn't have to kiss me for any reason. So I
Speaker 1: felt like that was a good moment to end on.
Speaker 1: Have you asked her out sense? Yeah? I texted her,
Speaker 1: you know, very positive things that I had a great
Speaker 1: time about the date and maybe we should go out
Speaker 1: again soon. And all of the responses that I was
Speaker 1: getting from her were really short. It was like sound
Speaker 1: good and then nothing, And I was like, you know,
Speaker 1: how's your date going? She said it's okay. Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: the worst when you're like, how's your day going? Fine?
Speaker 1: All right? That sucks? Or would you just get a
Speaker 1: k back about something? I want to go out some time? K.
Speaker 1: I mean, I didn't think it had gone bad bad,
Speaker 1: but this was my first date in a long time,
Speaker 1: and I was admittedly nervous, and I know that I
Speaker 1: can do better. So you want to call her, get
Speaker 1: her on the phone, ask her if you did something wrong,
Speaker 1: and then ask her on a second date. That's what
Speaker 1: I would like to do. Yeah, all right, we're gonna
Speaker 1: play a song. Come back, Steve. We can get her
Speaker 1: on the phone and get your second date up date. Okay, okay,
Speaker 1: all right, hang on brooking Jubil in the morning. I
Speaker 1: wish people would take my advice and stop trying so hard.
Speaker 1: I try just hard enough, Like with everything, everything gets
Speaker 1: better when you stop trying. Like it used to really
Speaker 1: try to do a good job at radio, and everything up.
Speaker 1: But once I stopped caring, show's ratings are better than ever.
Speaker 1: Wouldn't you just give up and don't try so hard?
Speaker 1: Things get good? And Doug is on the phone with
Speaker 1: us right now, and I think that's his problem. On
Speaker 1: his first date with a girl named Rachel, who he
Speaker 1: met online, he tried way too hard by showing up
Speaker 1: with flowers. That's not the bad part. But making a
Speaker 1: list of the ten things that you liked about her, Doug,
Speaker 1: and then reading it to her at dinner probably a
Speaker 1: turn off. Probably at this point, Yeah, you met well,
Speaker 1: but unfortunately since your date, all you've been getting his
Speaker 1: one word answers from her and no second date. So
Speaker 1: we're about to call her see if we can get
Speaker 1: her on the phone, and then ask if it was
Speaker 1: the list of the ten favorite things about Rachel that
Speaker 1: turned her off and is making her not want to
Speaker 1: go out with you again. Doug, why don't you just
Speaker 1: scrap this one and start new. I mean, you haven't
Speaker 1: dated in a year. Maybe you need to get a
Speaker 1: couple other dates under your belt. I mean, why is
Speaker 1: it so important for you to get a second date
Speaker 1: with this girl? It's kind of two reasons. I really
Speaker 1: like her and I want to prove that I'm not
Speaker 1: a nervous, weirdo loser. I think that I let my
Speaker 1: nerves get the best of me, probably because I hadn't
Speaker 1: been on a data in the long time. You know,
Speaker 1: you want to do over, second chance, a second first shot.
Speaker 1: All right, well, I'm gonna die the number right now
Speaker 1: and see if we can get her on the phone. Okay, okay,
Speaker 1: all right, man, hang on, Hello, Hi is Rachel. There
Speaker 1: is Rachel, Rachel. How are you. This is Jewel from
Speaker 1: brook and Jewel in the Morning. I'm sorry, what this is?
Speaker 1: Jewel from Brook and Jewel in the Morning the radio
Speaker 1: show radio show. Yes, it is a morning show. Huh.
Speaker 1: And we're calling you to see if you'll come on
Speaker 1: the air with us for a few seconds and talk
Speaker 1: to us. Oh why because you recently went out with
Speaker 1: a listener of ours. I did, Yeah, and he emailed
Speaker 1: us and wanted us to call you and ask why
Speaker 1: you're not going out with him on a second date. Okay,
Speaker 1: his name is Doug, and I'm sure you probably remember
Speaker 1: Doug because I'm assuming he's one of the only dates
Speaker 1: you could have gone on that made a list of
Speaker 1: things that he likes about. Oh oh yeah, yeah, I know, Doug.
Speaker 1: Yeah you do. Okay, So, so Doug emailed us right
Speaker 1: said that he had a great time with you. But
Speaker 1: since your date, he's been getting like one word responses
Speaker 1: from you, and it's obvious that you don't want to
Speaker 1: go out with him again. But Doug really wants to
Speaker 1: see you and is wondering if he did something wrong
Speaker 1: when you two went out, and if you wouldn't mind
Speaker 1: telling us what that is. He's fine, he was a
Speaker 1: nice guy. He's just if you guys talk to him.
Speaker 1: Can you just let him know that I said thanks
Speaker 1: so much for the date and that he's a really
Speaker 1: nice guy. Okay, Yeah, we'll talk to him about this
Speaker 1: whole thing. And I appreciate you staying on the phone
Speaker 1: with us. I do. I just want to ask you
Speaker 1: because he told us about everything, and he feels really
Speaker 1: bad about making a list of the ten things that
Speaker 1: he liked about you. Doug, I don't know if he
Speaker 1: shared with you. Hasn't been out on a date in
Speaker 1: a long time, so here's a little out of practice.
Speaker 1: You made him nervous because he likes you a lot.
Speaker 1: Was it the list? I mean, the list was weird.
Speaker 1: Definitely one of my more awkward moments on a date.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I was nerves and it was fine and
Speaker 1: I understand and that was okay, that wasn't the main problem. Okay,
Speaker 1: well you mind telling me us what the main problem is.
Speaker 1: Doug wants to know. I just I mean, I don't
Speaker 1: want to come off with sounding like weird and rude
Speaker 1: and petty. But he kept making really weird faces, like
Speaker 1: a nervous tick, almost like I don't know, like arrests
Speaker 1: of the face. It's so hard to explain. It was
Speaker 1: so weird and I wanted to ask if there was
Speaker 1: something wrong with him, but I felt too it was
Speaker 1: like it was true word to do that. Yeah, that's understandable. Hey,
Speaker 1: what's wrong with your face on the first day? So yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: I mean, he was so sweet, and he was clearly
Speaker 1: so nervous, and he's you know, he's a good person.
Speaker 1: I just I really couldn't see myself doing that. I
Speaker 1: don't we don't know much about Doug other than he
Speaker 1: listens to the show and he seems like a nice
Speaker 1: guy when we talked to him. Is it obviously that
Speaker 1: he has a facial tick? Or do you think, like,
Speaker 1: what do you think he was doing with his face
Speaker 1: that made you so uncomfortable? Honestly, you guys, I have
Speaker 1: no idea. What did it look like? We like he
Speaker 1: was in pain, like everyone's a while it would do
Speaker 1: this weird like grimss thing, But it was just like
Speaker 1: totally random, like nothing was going on. Did you ask
Speaker 1: him if he was okay, like if he was honestly
Speaker 1: in pain or I did never feel like there was
Speaker 1: the right time to do that because it was always
Speaker 1: kind of even the middle of stuff happening, and all
Speaker 1: of a sudden he would just throw his face and
Speaker 1: I'd be like, ah, because I'd be really horrible and rude. Rachel.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I can't take it anymore. I
Speaker 1: have to interject here. Hey, Rachel, that's Doug. He's actually
Speaker 1: on the other line. Oh god, Rachel, Hi, I'm sorry, so,
Speaker 1: oh my god, this is so embarrassing. Okay, I mean really,
Speaker 1: I can ask you now because I'm not sitting in
Speaker 1: front of you, But are you okay? Well? I had
Speaker 1: had a surgical procedure recently. I thought I was doing
Speaker 1: a really good job at like concealing it, but I
Speaker 1: was actually in a lot of pain. Um what? And
Speaker 1: I was you know, I guess I was just so
Speaker 1: taken in with you that I was ignoring, trying really
Speaker 1: hard to ignore the pain that I was actually what, Doug, Doug,
Speaker 1: what kind of surgery did you have? Well? I had
Speaker 1: a really kind of unfortunate bicycle accident and so embarrassing
Speaker 1: to be doing this on the radio. Um, I basically
Speaker 1: injured myself downstairs? You had surgery on it? Yeah? I
Speaker 1: was mountain biking with my buddy and I went off
Speaker 1: a little jump and it just landed wrong. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: strained some muffles down there. That sucks. I'm sorry, dude,
Speaker 1: you were talking to her for weeks. Why didn't you
Speaker 1: just wait? Well, because she's so wonderful and I know
Speaker 1: that if I waited that someone else would just snatch
Speaker 1: her up. Rachel, are you still there? Yeah? Okay? What
Speaker 1: do you think about that? It wasn't a weird face
Speaker 1: thing that, it's a weird something else that he has
Speaker 1: making making his face do that. Oh jeez um, that's awful.
Speaker 1: And I cannot believe you went through a whole date
Speaker 1: without saying anything. If you were in that much pain,
Speaker 1: that's crazy. I was really just trying to focus on
Speaker 1: a great time that I was having him. Then I
Speaker 1: thought we were having. Um, you are so sweet, but
Speaker 1: please don't like sacrifice your body for a date, Rachel.
Speaker 1: What if if Doug would have said, hey, let's go
Speaker 1: out maybe a couple weeks from now because I got
Speaker 1: some problems some strained muscles down south. You would have
Speaker 1: been pretty understanding about that, wouldn't you. Well, I mean,
Speaker 1: I mean I probably would want to know a little
Speaker 1: bit more about what's going on, and you know, the
Speaker 1: long term of facts and all that stuff. But I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean you shouldn't know. Don't like throw yourself under
Speaker 1: the bus on someone else's behalf. That's crazy. But you're
Speaker 1: so great that I thought it was worth it. Doug,
Speaker 1: is everything going to be working in the future in
Speaker 1: that department? I'm just looking out for her best interest,
Speaker 1: that's all. Yes, the doctor said that I had to
Speaker 1: be back in another month or two. I'll look it
Speaker 1: all right, So you'll have to take things slow if
Speaker 1: you guys continue to date. Boy, So, Rachel, would you
Speaker 1: like to go out with Doug again, knowing what you
Speaker 1: just learned. We'll pay for a second date if you
Speaker 1: give him another shot, only if he's well enough to go. Okay, Doug,
Speaker 1: are you are you well enough to go on a
Speaker 1: second date or do you need a couple more weeks.
Speaker 1: I'm good to sit at dinner and you know, things
Speaker 1: like that. Taking it slow, but we couldn't probably, I
Speaker 1: think we know what you're saying. Dog. All right, Well, congratulations,
Speaker 1: and we'll send you guys out on a second date
Speaker 1: for some dinner. We'll pay for it, and then anything
Speaker 1: else is up to you. Guys. And Doug's timeline follow
Speaker 1: your doctor's orders. Yeah, Rachel, I'm so happy. Thanks for
Speaker 1: giving me another shot. I will definitely make it up
Speaker 1: to you, only if you take better care of yourself. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he'll make it up to you in about sixty eight weeks.
Speaker 1: It's broken Juwil in the morning,
