Speaker 1: Second date of date, Brook, how many horrible dates did
Speaker 1: you have to go on before you finally found your husband?
Speaker 1: And actually, don't answer that because I don't want to
Speaker 1: hear about the threeenty twenty four of them, all the fails.
Speaker 2: I was on some good ones too.
Speaker 1: Actually, we just got ten texts into seventy five nine
Speaker 1: to two saying the same thing. Please don't ask Brook
Speaker 1: about her horrible dating it so I'm glad that we
Speaker 1: have someone else on the phone right now to share
Speaker 1: their bad dating stories with us. His name is James,
Speaker 1: and in his email he said he's been on so
Speaker 1: many awful dates it was just refreshing to finally meet
Speaker 1: a woman who he described as somewhat normal. Oh so, James,
Speaker 1: welcome to the show man.
Speaker 3: Hey, thanks for having me appreciate it.
Speaker 2: Everyone's thinking, where did you find someone somewhat normal? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Now, James, a lot of people when they write to us,
Speaker 1: they focus on the date that they just had.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: But I thought it was kind of funny that you
Speaker 1: mentioned a few of the bad experiences that you had
Speaker 1: before this.
Speaker 2: Oh, he went into detas about it.
Speaker 1: One that you said was you got invited by a
Speaker 1: girl to her church picnic.
Speaker 3: That is correct. She originally told me was if I
Speaker 3: wanted to see an outdoor play, and I thought, you know,
Speaker 3: like Shakespeare in the Park kind of deal or something
Speaker 3: like that. Yeah, And that wasn't the case at all,
Speaker 3: because I get there and she dressed like the devil
Speaker 3: who her face is painted red.
Speaker 2: No, so not like a sexy devil like you were
Speaker 2: hoping for.
Speaker 3: Not at all. She is screaming fire and brimstone. Everyone's
Speaker 3: going to hell.
Speaker 1: It's kind of hot.
Speaker 2: So that's a look.
Speaker 1: I can use that.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 1: What was the other one that you mentioned? Something about
Speaker 1: mini Golf.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I went on on a date with a girl
Speaker 3: with Mini golf. I don't know if she had like
Speaker 3: a medical problem or what, but she couldn't stop party.
Speaker 2: Sweet girl and mini golf can like if there's not
Speaker 2: a lot of people, can be really quiet.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the windmill isn't that loud though she was trying
Speaker 3: to tie it with the putter.
Speaker 1: She's screaming for I feel so.
Speaker 2: There was a lot of room for improvement.
Speaker 1: Tell us about the good date that you finally had.
Speaker 1: Who was that with?
Speaker 3: Her name is Vicky and I met her online. Her
Speaker 3: profile picture was pretty I mean I don't want to
Speaker 3: sound shallow.
Speaker 2: Here, but that's what dating online is set up for, right, Yeah, exactly,
Speaker 2: And she totally looks like her picture.
Speaker 3: We just clicked and we sent multiple messages back and forth.
Speaker 2: I mean, with your history, were you thinking like, oh
Speaker 2: my god, there's no way this sounds too good to
Speaker 2: be true.
Speaker 1: Are you a double fart mom?
Speaker 3: Yeah, you've got to put yourself out there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So what did you and Vicky do for your date?
Speaker 3: We ended up going to a barcade. I don't know
Speaker 3: if you guys are familiar that. It's kind of like, oh, yeah.
Speaker 1: I always wanted to go on these.
Speaker 3: No, it's really fun. They have like old school atari
Speaker 3: games or any old arcade game or anything like that.
Speaker 1: So how was the arcade with Vicky? Do you guys
Speaker 1: have a good time?
Speaker 3: Yeah, dude, there's like this super awesome nostalgia factor going on.
Speaker 3: And this was when going over the date. The only
Speaker 3: like hiccup is I came across my all time favorite
Speaker 3: video game, which is the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I found I found a place like that by my
Speaker 2: house and my son is obsessed with it now.
Speaker 1: It is such a good game.
Speaker 3: Yeah, dude, I kill it, Raphael, I mean with.
Speaker 2: The interesting choice.
Speaker 1: Why is that a bad moment in your date?
Speaker 4: Though?
Speaker 3: Because the problem is, once I found it, I wanted
Speaker 3: to play it. But I saw it across the room
Speaker 3: and as we were getting closer to it, and I'm
Speaker 3: hyping it up and I'm like, you're gonna love playing the game.
Speaker 3: A group of tweeen agers they slepped in and started
Speaker 3: playing it before I could get to it.
Speaker 2: This is an old ages arcade, okay.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it's one of those places where I like,
Speaker 3: I guess kids and gay in there are staying there
Speaker 3: until nine pm or something.
Speaker 2: Okay, So again, why did that rooster date you didn't
Speaker 2: get to play the game?
Speaker 3: Well, I did this thing where I stood awkwardly behind him, thinking.
Speaker 1: That was like weird, super passive aggressive.
Speaker 3: Yeah exactly.
Speaker 2: You guys didn't go off and play something else. You're
Speaker 2: just standing there with your date as these teenagers.
Speaker 3: With stepping beers and we're talking. But then the one
Speaker 3: kid just like looked over his shoulder and it's like,
Speaker 3: shut up.
Speaker 1: That's probably not a great look in front of your date.
Speaker 1: That's what you get, old man.
Speaker 3: I'm not going to back off and let these kids win,
Speaker 3: because this is my game.
Speaker 1: I mean, like, show off, okay with Dame, this is
Speaker 1: the hill that you're choosing to die out the teenage
Speaker 1: Mutant Ninja Turtles Mountain exactly.
Speaker 3: And it was like, you know what, let's drift on.
Speaker 3: So we then we left the barcade and we're on
Speaker 3: just down the street to another bar, and she's like,
Speaker 3: I gotta wrap it up, and I'm like, dude, it's
Speaker 3: only eight thirty. And she was like, I gotta get
Speaker 3: up early in the morning and.
Speaker 2: Okay, And it felt like an excuse to.
Speaker 3: You a little thing.
Speaker 1: You think she really wanted to play teenage and she's like,
Speaker 1: dad said, if we're not gonna play, I'm going home exactly.
Speaker 3: I mean, she could have been turned off a little
Speaker 3: bit because I was being very forceful and very adamant
Speaker 3: about like, let's play this specific game, and then the
Speaker 3: kids being jerk maybe killed the vibe.
Speaker 2: Kids always killed the vibe. I'm just gonna let you know,
Speaker 2: yeah next time.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I just need to know if that was it,
Speaker 3: Just say that was it, and then like I will
Speaker 3: definitely make sure date number two will have no children
Speaker 3: at all.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Okay, Well, let's call her and ask. We'll see
Speaker 1: if that's the reason. We'll play a song. Come back,
Speaker 1: call Vicky for you and try and get your second
Speaker 1: date update. Okay, that'd be awesome, all right, hold on
Speaker 1: second A great show, great theme song, and an even
Speaker 1: better arcade game for sure, And our guy James just
Speaker 1: wanted to show his date how Rafael could do some
Speaker 1: serious damage with his front flips. But he never got
Speaker 1: that chance. And even worse than losing the chance to
Speaker 1: play the game, is he actually lost his date VICKI.
Speaker 1: Now it seems like she may have used an excuse
Speaker 1: to get out of there a little bit early, but
Speaker 1: we're not sure. And James thinks it might have been
Speaker 1: because he got into a verbal spat with some unruly
Speaker 1: tweens who were hogging the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle machine.
Speaker 1: And I just have to ask you, James, what's the
Speaker 1: worst thing that you said to them when you were
Speaker 1: in an argument?
Speaker 3: It was it was something really generic, because you're arguing
Speaker 3: with kids that you don't want to say something like
Speaker 3: I tagged your mom and your dad was watching.
Speaker 2: It's like you've been playing this fight over and over
Speaker 2: in your head.
Speaker 3: Exactly so it was something like, I think I hear
Speaker 3: your mom call.
Speaker 1: Okay, probably should have gone with that first diss.
Speaker 2: I mean, that would be a turn off for me.
Speaker 3: I never should have gotten into it with him at all.
Speaker 3: It's at least you know that.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's that, and that you pick Raphael out
Speaker 2: of all of them. Maybe anybody else was guy, but
Speaker 2: I'm all Michael Angelo.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, I don't even know. I don't feel like
Speaker 1: we should discuss anymore Ninja Turtle character preferences.
Speaker 2: Next your personality.
Speaker 1: I just think we should call Vicky and see what
Speaker 1: she has to say. Maybe she's really picky about the
Speaker 1: characters too, Maybe maybe she's a Maybe that's exactly Zaddy
Speaker 1: masters and asked, So let's just do this. Here we go.
Speaker 1: I'm in a dollar number right now.
Speaker 3: Hello, is this Vicky?
Speaker 1: Vicky? My name is jeff from the radio show Brooke
Speaker 1: and Jeffrey in the Morning.
Speaker 4: Okay, Hi, I think he whole show is here.
Speaker 2: How you doing?
Speaker 4: I'm good. Is there a reason you're calling so funny?
Speaker 2: You should have?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Are you familiar with our show at all?
Speaker 4: Yeah? I definitely listen. Cool. I'm just a little nervous
Speaker 4: right now.
Speaker 1: Okay, Well then you might be familiar with the second
Speaker 1: date updates.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, okay, okay.
Speaker 2: Your nervous laugh is really cute though. Good jump.
Speaker 4: Oh thanks, it's cute.
Speaker 1: Well we're calling obviously because one of our listeners went
Speaker 1: out with you recently and he's been having a hard
Speaker 1: time reaching you over the past week.
Speaker 4: Remember James, Oh yeah, oh gosh, Okay.
Speaker 2: It wasn't as fun for you as it was for James.
Speaker 2: It sounds like, I.
Speaker 4: Mean, I don't know how much you've told you, so
Speaker 4: I don't want to like, Okay.
Speaker 1: Well, what we do know is you guys went to
Speaker 1: a barcade, had some drinks.
Speaker 4: We did.
Speaker 2: We know that he was really interested in you. He
Speaker 2: thought you were cute, had great hair, fun personality.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah. I mean, did you think he was cute?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 4: I definitely thought he was cute. We were having a
Speaker 4: fun time. There was this kind of like a moment
Speaker 4: that was a little bit of a turning point for me.
Speaker 1: Is that anything to do with a group of superheroes?
Speaker 2: Maybe turtles?
Speaker 4: All right, so you know a little bit about it.
Speaker 1: But what he told us is that there were some
Speaker 1: kids hogging the teenage meeting Ninja turtle machine, and so
Speaker 1: it kind of exchanged words, but you guys passed and
Speaker 1: just went somewhere else.
Speaker 2: But I mean, to be fair, we told him that
Speaker 2: that's like, I mean, for Alexis and I anyway, it'd
Speaker 2: be a pretty big red flag if he was arguing
Speaker 2: with teenagers.
Speaker 3: Look, yeah, not a good look.
Speaker 4: There was a little bit more to the story.
Speaker 2: What do you mean, like he did more than exchange
Speaker 2: words with him.
Speaker 4: I mean, I think he thinks I don't know about
Speaker 4: this part, but yeah, like he so he went to
Speaker 4: the bathroom before we were going to leave, and he
Speaker 4: came out and like had a cut on his lips.
Speaker 4: He looks kind of like bruised up and stuff like
Speaker 4: he had something had happened, and.
Speaker 2: He something it happened in the bathroom.
Speaker 4: Yeah, oh god, dude.
Speaker 1: Sometimes all those those paper talenta spensers, I get in
Speaker 1: fight them out real quick.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but I mean that's what he said. He said,
Speaker 4: he like flipped and accidentally bumped his face on the stall,
Speaker 4: and I was like, are you that drunk?
Speaker 2: For all, I mean, they don't I will say a
Speaker 2: lot of arcades and not very clean bathrooms, so maybe
Speaker 2: it was a slippery s.
Speaker 4: Well, what he doesn't know is uh, Like right before that,
Speaker 4: a few minutes before he came out, some of the
Speaker 4: middle schoolers came up to me who were playing the
Speaker 4: Ninja game, and they, uh, they said, hey, tell your boyfriend.
Speaker 4: If he mouths off again, we're going to beat itath
Speaker 4: worse than we just did.
Speaker 2: Why they beat him up in the bathroom.
Speaker 4: I think so because like in the moment, I was like,
Speaker 4: all right, whatever, and then when I saw him, I
Speaker 4: was like, oh my god, he just got beat up
Speaker 4: by a kid.
Speaker 1: Oh my god.
Speaker 2: You can't blame her for that, Like, what is he
Speaker 2: supposed to do? Hit him back?
Speaker 1: You can beat the crap out of those kids.
Speaker 2: Like, did you.
Speaker 1: Bring it up to him?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 4: I was just like I'm done. This is definitely a
Speaker 4: red flag.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Are you more turned off that he fought
Speaker 2: or that he lost?
Speaker 3: I mean, just the fact that the whole thing happened.
Speaker 4: Just he's the adult in the situation. Then you're gonna
Speaker 4: like fight with some middle schoolers in the bathroom and
Speaker 4: then you're gonna lie about it.
Speaker 2: Well that's pretty embarrassing to admit.
Speaker 1: I mean all right, so look, here's what we know.
Speaker 1: We know that there was obviously some verbal stuff with
Speaker 1: the kids at the arcade, but you're saying you didn't
Speaker 1: actually see anything yourself, Vicky. So we need to go
Speaker 1: right to the source here and just ask James, you
Speaker 1: throw hands with some middle schoolers.
Speaker 2: Or one normal questions?
Speaker 4: Ye oh no, oh yeah, James, Well I didn't know
Speaker 4: they talked to you, Vicky.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, oh god, it actually happened.
Speaker 3: Okay, Well, first off, there were like seven of them.
Speaker 4: Okay, no, well okay there listen, listen. There were three
Speaker 4: of them, and one of them was Onarn't crutches, so
Speaker 4: don't that's why.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a mainland weapon. He would swim with them kids.
Speaker 2: How did that happen? How did that happen in the bathroom?
Speaker 3: I mean, they have horrible mouths, That's what happened. So
Speaker 3: I had friend myself.
Speaker 2: Wait did you you ask them to fight you in
Speaker 2: the bathroom?
Speaker 3: No. I went into the restroom to do the normal things,
Speaker 3: just leave myself, and then all of a sudden, I
Speaker 3: get sucker punch from behind with a clutch. That's when
Speaker 3: they start running their mouths and I square up and
Speaker 3: it was a fight or flight moment, and here's the
Speaker 3: problem is I swung on one of them, and I'm.
Speaker 1: Miss okay, So you tried to throw a punch at
Speaker 1: one of these kids.
Speaker 4: This is not making it better like you're telling it and.
Speaker 3: More details makes it better. They were attacking me. I
Speaker 3: was defending myself.
Speaker 1: And I was defending you.
Speaker 4: You were You were not defending me.
Speaker 3: I was defending your honor. I was defending your honor
Speaker 3: because these kids were saying you had small boobs. I
Speaker 3: was like, you don't want.
Speaker 1: God?
Speaker 2: What's wrong with small boobs?
Speaker 4: There?
Speaker 1: Thank you everyone.
Speaker 3: You guys are laughing and thinking this isn't serious, but
Speaker 3: it was. It was really serious. In a headlock, I
Speaker 3: was losing consciousness and he was like, just about to go.
Speaker 2: Headlock. They're shorter than you. Parents.
Speaker 1: Stop putting their kids in taekwondo, it happens.
Speaker 2: Are you exaggerating, James? Like it feels like this story
Speaker 2: just keeps getting more out of control.
Speaker 3: You have been there like I was. It was a
Speaker 3: desperate situation. I was in a point where I was
Speaker 3: willing to do anything I could to get out of it.
Speaker 2: It could be scary to be provoked.
Speaker 1: I just say, you have seven kids running around you
Speaker 1: no matter how big they are.
Speaker 2: I think there were only numbers. There was only three.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I'm just hoping now that we've heard the
Speaker 1: full story, can you hear where he's coming from. He
Speaker 1: was defending your honor, defending himself, and maybe he deserves
Speaker 1: a second chance. We'd like to pay for another date
Speaker 1: with James. He never connected any punches. And for the record,
Speaker 1: for the record, nobody here thinks that you have small boobs.
Speaker 1: We think they are.
Speaker 2: We think small is fine, just the right size.
Speaker 4: Yes, no, I'm not interested. This thing is even worse
Speaker 4: than it was when I heard from the kids.
Speaker 3: This is ridiculous. Man, I get beat up by a
Speaker 3: mob of bug and I'm not getting a secondary out
Speaker 3: of it.
Speaker 2: James. The story just one of the kids was like crutches.
Speaker 3: Have you not seen like Return of the Jedi? Like
Speaker 3: you could spend that thing around and around.
Speaker 1: You should have gone rap, we go.
Speaker 2: Freaking Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 1: I think we all can agree violence is never the answer,
Speaker 1: unless the question is who's hogging the teenage mutant ninja
Speaker 1: turtle arcades. No, the unwritten rule is you have free
Speaker 1: reign to swing on children. No, no, don't is it Okay,
Speaker 1: you tell me the rules. I don't know them.
Speaker 2: Listen, I will give it can be scary to be you.
Speaker 1: Know, jumped.
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, one time in the park I had I
Speaker 2: stopped a group of eighth graders from fighting. Okay, so
Speaker 2: you were able to stop them with a baby on
Speaker 2: my hip? Okay, So I don't know. I mean there's
Speaker 2: probably easier ways that he could have de escalated the issue,
Speaker 2: but okay, they were kind of frightening.
Speaker 1: Okay, the things that you know that there's some woman
Speaker 1: out there listening who really feels bad for James.
Speaker 2: It's the mother of the children.
Speaker 1: No, I guarantee that we're going to get text into
Speaker 1: seventy five ninety two from some women saying he was
Speaker 1: the victim and he was fully in his right to
Speaker 1: defend himself and he's actually a hero.
Speaker 2: The kids were just trying to play their video game. Yeah,
Speaker 2: he have not, like I know, but if he wouldn't
Speaker 2: have started the whole thing to begin with.
Speaker 1: Oh, he started it.
Speaker 2: Like who's the kid now name?
Speaker 1: It's a good reminder to so all of our listeners. Hey,
Speaker 1: if you're going out on a date tonight, don't beat
Speaker 1: up any kids. No, your instincts might tell you to
Speaker 1: do it, but you have to resist anyway. I remember,
Speaker 1: if you want to get a second date, update, or
Speaker 1: other awesome dating advice, you can always email the show.
Speaker 1: We'll call the person who wasn't calling you back.
Speaker 2: Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
