Speaker 2: But it's still a funny comment. So if you missed it,
Speaker 2: Brooke helped break a couple up here well unsuccessfully, but
Speaker 2: so listen. But if you did, then you'll know. Mareki
Speaker 2: said this inspired me to break it off with someone
Speaker 2: I was dating, and I did.
Speaker 3: So, thank you.
Speaker 2: Longest twenty six minutes of my life, and I wish
Speaker 2: Brooke did it for me next time.
Speaker 4: I guessquest.
Speaker 1: Oh, I feel like twenty six minutes is pretty short.
Speaker 1: I had to break up conversations that went on for hours.

Speaker 3: We'll hear you for a Second Date update. Go full circle.
Speaker 3: All right, your brand new episode starts right now.
Speaker 5: Brook and Jeffrey in the morning second date updates.
Speaker 6: We've heard from a lot of people on this show
Speaker 6: who've moved cities and started over that it's not easy.
Speaker 3: No, I mean, what a challenging thing to do, but
Speaker 3: so rewarding. Yeah, so awesome, good for you, but a
Speaker 3: lot of stress.
Speaker 6: You gotta get a whole new driver's license, memorize a
Speaker 6: whole new address.
Speaker 3: That's what you're worried about. Not like making new friends
Speaker 3: and having a community.
Speaker 6: No, that's easy, but changing your favorite inflatable store location
Speaker 6: on your app. I mean, where are you going to
Speaker 6: find your inflatables now? And will they be as sturdy
Speaker 6: as the previous ones?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Blow us is that it don't get here? Brook, Now
Speaker 4: you're out. He knows where you're.
Speaker 3: Going to blow up and you didn't realize you're going to.
Speaker 6: Spend time with lots of headaches and roadblocks when you move.
Speaker 6: No one knows that better than our listener, Eric, who
Speaker 6: has requested our help today.
Speaker 4: Eric, Welcome to the show Man.
Speaker 6: We appreciate you listening to us in both cities, your
Speaker 6: old want and your new one.
Speaker 7: Good Thanks for having me guy.
Speaker 6: What was the reason behind the mover. Is it a
Speaker 6: work thing, a criminal pass that you're trying to outrun?
Speaker 4: What are we working with?
Speaker 1: X an EXX is always a good reason to move cities.
Speaker 7: I mean I did recently change jobs, and okay, I
Speaker 7: work in an office with a lot more people that
Speaker 7: are my age now, and I think it's older people,
Speaker 7: but it's nice people that are my age now.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 6: I wish we could have that here, but Brooke just
Speaker 6: keeps on coming back. I don't know how it happened.
Speaker 3: I know we're all like, geez, I am not that
Speaker 3: much older than you. You were also getting older, Jeffrey.
Speaker 3: It's how it works.
Speaker 4: No, I enjoy having your presence. It's like a nice,
Speaker 4: warm visdom sort of thing.
Speaker 1: So were you nervous moving to the new place or
Speaker 1: did you know anyone there?
Speaker 7: I didn't know anyone at the time. I mean I'm
Speaker 7: pretty friendly. I can get to know people. I mean,
Speaker 7: there's actually this one girl, Anna and Uh we've been
Speaker 7: friendly at the office and we actually just have like
Speaker 7: a naturally good vibe together.
Speaker 4: Oh okay, that's a little bit dangerous.
Speaker 3: Terror tour dude, Right when you come in somewhere, were
Speaker 3: you thinking, like romantically immediately with this woman.
Speaker 7: No, not at all.
Speaker 4: I just like her vibe.
Speaker 7: And it was her birthday the other day, actually, so
Speaker 7: I wanted to do something special for her, so I
Speaker 7: got a birthday cake. But I also got this coffee
Speaker 7: mug with a dog on it because she said that
Speaker 7: she really loves dogs.
Speaker 3: I'm confused, is this. Did you go on a date
Speaker 3: with her?
Speaker 4: Did you hang out outside of the office.
Speaker 7: Well, she really liked the mug that I got her.
Speaker 7: She came to my desk and thanked me, and I
Speaker 7: was like, you know, we should grab dinner sometime for work,
Speaker 7: and she was like, all right, yeah, it sounds great.
Speaker 7: And so after work we had it over to this restaurant.
Speaker 7: It wasn't anything too fancy, just like a diner, and
Speaker 7: I got to know her some more and I realized
Speaker 7: that I really enjoyed her energy, and wow, we kind
Speaker 7: of had a funny little moment. We ordered corn dogs
Speaker 7: and we interlocked our arms like when you would drink
Speaker 7: champagne to eat them. So it was kind of funat Yeah,
Speaker 7: you know, like when.
Speaker 1: You do a big fancy toast with your new bride
Speaker 1: or whatever, new interlock art.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but with corn dogs, it's a little bit of
Speaker 6: a different You mean it's classier. Yeah, I feel like
Speaker 6: you must have been getting a lot of looks from
Speaker 6: other people in the restaurant seeing the corn dog interlock thing.
Speaker 7: I thought we were just having fun and we were
Speaker 7: just in our own world. And at the end of
Speaker 7: the night, I walked her back to her car and
Speaker 7: I asked she wanted to go on a hike sometime,
Speaker 7: and she seemed really into that. And now she's just
Speaker 7: being super cold to me at the office and I'm
Speaker 7: not really sure why.
Speaker 1: Okay, So, at any point was it established that I mean,
Speaker 1: it sounds like you were feeling romantic vibes from her,
Speaker 1: But did you ever clearly state I think this.
Speaker 3: Is a date and like you know, she's single.
Speaker 7: Yeah, you talk about anything romantic, and I never we
Speaker 7: never brought anything up where I thought we were having fun.
Speaker 6: Yeah, But Brooke, it still doesn't change the fact that
Speaker 6: she's acting cold towards him now at the office, because
Speaker 6: it seemed like for the most part they were getting along.
Speaker 1: You don't think that that's just because she got freaked out.
Speaker 1: He thought it was a friend situation. And then there
Speaker 1: was a moment maybe it was with the corn dogs
Speaker 1: where she's like, oh, whoa, this guy thinks that.
Speaker 3: We need to be dating far down the corn dogs.
Speaker 6: Yeah, his idea was the corn dog arm interlocked.
Speaker 4: He brought that up.
Speaker 7: It kind of just happened.
Speaker 4: I don't how does that just happen? I love it
Speaker 4: just seems so unnatural.
Speaker 7: Well, for the record, we toasted the corn dogs and then.
Speaker 6: Oh no, you touched corn dogs that could be unsand
Speaker 6: because they.
Speaker 4: Touched hims and then they interlocked. I love this. I
Speaker 4: want to do this with somebody.
Speaker 1: So is there any awkward moments that stand out to
Speaker 1: where you're like, whoa, Maybe we're not on the same page.
Speaker 7: Not in my mind, I thought we were having fun.
Speaker 7: I thought we had a good time.
Speaker 6: It was a natural, genuine I will say I did
Speaker 6: buy coffee mugs for some of my friends here at
Speaker 6: the office, and I have been reamed endlessly about how
Speaker 6: horrible the logshog.
Speaker 2: Started a fire in my home.
Speaker 4: I can't wash it.
Speaker 6: But the thought behind it that was pretty nice. And
Speaker 6: yet you are all obsessed with oh and I'm.
Speaker 4: Infernal.
Speaker 1: You stood at an ABC wall of mugs and then
Speaker 1: picked on our first initiative, the first that.
Speaker 6: I remembered what your names start with? Should say wonders
Speaker 6: about how much I care about each.
Speaker 2: And every morning in the anthropology to buy those that.
Speaker 1: Okay, wait, wait, I want to know is there any
Speaker 1: office gossip that you've heard of, because somebody's got to
Speaker 1: be talking like, oh, did you hear the new guy
Speaker 1: went out to dinner?
Speaker 7: I mean, I'm not a gossip myself. I try to
Speaker 7: focus on my work and I'm still friendly with people.
Speaker 7: But I haven't heard any nastiness. No one's tried to
Speaker 7: like pull a prank on mere or anything. And maybe
Speaker 7: should I be looking over my shoulder. I don't know.
Speaker 4: I just she doesn't know anybody yet to hear the tea,
Speaker 4: That's what I realized.
Speaker 6: I mean, in the few minutes that we've spoken to,
Speaker 6: you seem like a really nice, pleasant guy. But who knows,
Speaker 6: we could be totally wrong and you might be a
Speaker 6: total nightmare. So let's find out you might be the
Speaker 6: worst person we've ever spoken to.
Speaker 3: So wait, we're going to call someone that's in his
Speaker 3: office with him.
Speaker 4: I mean, is that what you want here?
Speaker 7: I would like to find some answers why she's being
Speaker 7: cold to man now? Because I was nothing but a gentleman,
Speaker 7: I thought so extension.
Speaker 6: Yeah, we'll figure it out when reach out to Anna,
Speaker 6: hopefully find out if you're the best or the worst
Speaker 6: guy to work with when we come back and do
Speaker 6: your second date update right after this.
Speaker 7: Thank you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we will help you.
Speaker 4: We'll try hold on.
Speaker 5: Broke and Jeffrey in the morning second date updates.
Speaker 6: We've had definitely like tense second date calls before where
Speaker 6: things get surly between people, but this could be a
Speaker 6: first where we're calling a woman who went out with
Speaker 6: a guy from the same office. Our listener, a guy
Speaker 6: named Eric, and our producer has asked Eric if he
Speaker 6: would stand up above his cubicle and look across the
Speaker 6: office down into the cubicle as we make this phone,
Speaker 6: just to make it even more juicy and traumatic, and
Speaker 6: Eric has selfishly.
Speaker 4: Refused to do. Not much of a team playing are there.
Speaker 7: It would be a little weird and I might get
Speaker 7: fired or something like that.
Speaker 1: I mean, I thought you'd want to alienate everyone in
Speaker 1: your office space before you know you really got to
Speaker 1: know them.
Speaker 3: Yeah, is that not how it works?
Speaker 6: I mean it works for us on our show. I
Speaker 6: don't know if it would work for him in his career.
Speaker 6: But just to recap real quick, Eric just moved to
Speaker 6: a brand new city. He was liking the vibe he
Speaker 6: was getting from his coworker Anna while they were working together.
Speaker 3: There's even presence exchange. Yes, well not exchange. He gave
Speaker 3: one way.
Speaker 6: For her birthday, so he took her out to dinner.
Speaker 6: They toasted corn dogs, interlocked arms while eating them.
Speaker 4: And now all of a sudden, it's weird. Not sure
Speaker 4: how that's possible. What you mean is they were having fun,
Speaker 4: Like he thought.
Speaker 6: It was a genuine thing. We've worked together for over
Speaker 6: ten years. Has any of it been fun?
Speaker 4: No? No, that's why this is so strange.
Speaker 3: We actually have a lot of fun when you were
Speaker 3: in the other room.
Speaker 4: Yeah, when I'm doing all the work. Yes, you guys.
Speaker 4: Let's continue to do.
Speaker 6: Our work and call Anna here. Hopefully she picks up
Speaker 6: the phone and we can get some answers.
Speaker 4: This is your fun. Huh yeah, this is the only fun.
Speaker 4: Is all I get? All right, I'm gonna die. Anna,
Speaker 4: maybe she could be my friend. Here we go. Hello, Hi,
Speaker 4: we're looking to speak with.
Speaker 8: Anna mass who's calling.
Speaker 4: Yes, you may you're so polite.
Speaker 3: It's a business call.
Speaker 4: Jeff, Oh, yeah, I forgot.
Speaker 6: We're a morning radio show. We're called Brook and Jeffrey
Speaker 6: in the Morning.
Speaker 4: Okay, let's keep a.
Speaker 6: Casual over here and do a segment, you know, not
Speaker 6: the business stuff.
Speaker 4: Sorry, so weird.
Speaker 3: This is why we don't let him out of his room.
Speaker 6: Okay, I'm just saying, sorry to interrupt your day, but
Speaker 6: we're doing something. It's called a second Date update, and
Speaker 6: we're trying to help out one of our listeners that
Speaker 6: you went out to dinner with recently, a guy named
Speaker 6: Eric that you work with.
Speaker 8: Yeah, no, thanks, I wish I hadn't gone out with
Speaker 8: that guy.
Speaker 3: Oh wait, okay, so there's a regret there.
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, that's a.
Speaker 6: Little bit unexpected, honestly, because we talked to Eric and
Speaker 6: from what we heard about your hangout, it sounded like
Speaker 6: it was a really fun time.
Speaker 8: I mean it's kind of awkward. Yeah, but yeah, this
Speaker 8: guy Eric, he puts out this like really nice guy energy.
Speaker 8: But he's involved with a lot of other people that
Speaker 8: I didn't know about.
Speaker 3: Wait wait, wait, wait, what do you mean Like you're
Speaker 3: saying he has other girlfriends?
Speaker 8: Well, I know he has one girlfriend?
Speaker 4: Oh oh wait just one?
Speaker 3: Wait? How you know that? Like I thought he was
Speaker 3: brand new to the city. How could he already.
Speaker 8: Well, for one, like one of the girls in my office,
Speaker 8: he flirts with her all the time.
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, are you sure he's not just being friendly?
Speaker 8: No, he asked her out too. Oh, he asked her out. Yeah,
Speaker 8: and luckily she didn't go out with him. But we
Speaker 8: looked into this guy. We did some research on him,
Speaker 8: and we found out that he has an actual girlfriend
Speaker 8: that's not someone in our office.
Speaker 3: Wait.
Speaker 1: Really, so he's asking out multiple women in your office
Speaker 1: while being in a relationship like a.
Speaker 3: Distance relationship, mayby or something distance.
Speaker 8: No, I mean, I don't know if it's long distance
Speaker 8: or what it is.
Speaker 3: Well kind of, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: It's just so weird always to have like a cheater
Speaker 1: like that call in to a very public radio station
Speaker 1: and okay, risked outing himself, like what.
Speaker 4: A alleged cheater? Well, that's what I don't know.
Speaker 6: Like, what.
Speaker 1: What did you see? Did you see something online? He said,
Speaker 1: I have a girlfriend.
Speaker 8: Yeah. I found his Instagram and trust me, it just
Speaker 8: shows everything.
Speaker 4: Okay, Well, people can say anything on Instagram. It doesn't
Speaker 4: mean it's true. It could put about themselves on their own.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it might just be like you know, for cloud
Speaker 6: for looks, it might not be real.
Speaker 3: He doesn't get Yeah, but I should say this.
Speaker 1: A better argument would be it could be old photos
Speaker 1: from an x right, like maybe he hasn't taken that
Speaker 1: stuff down.
Speaker 8: The last one that he posted was like three or
Speaker 8: four days ago together.
Speaker 3: Isn't that like the same timeframe of when you to dinner?
Speaker 8: Yeah, I went out with him like five days ago.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, this is going to be awkward for not
Speaker 1: the reasons I thought.
Speaker 6: Yeah, so clearly you're not into guys who already have girlfriends,
Speaker 6: which goods.
Speaker 4: I'm saying, good, good for her.
Speaker 6: But we didn't know about a girlfriend or anything like
Speaker 6: that when we talked to Eric. And you should probably
Speaker 6: talk to him too, because he's on the other line
Speaker 6: right now waiting to.
Speaker 4: Speak to you. He's probably actually across the office too.
Speaker 4: But it'd be more fun if we could hear the
Speaker 4: phone conversation.
Speaker 7: I'm confused because I don't understand what the issue is here.
Speaker 8: I you don't see the issue Eric, you already have
Speaker 8: a girlfriend.
Speaker 7: I never said that I didn't have a girl.
Speaker 8: Oh you took me on a date.
Speaker 7: No, it was not a date. It was dinner so
Speaker 7: that you would actual become better friends.
Speaker 4: Now you're backtracking way, It was totally a date.
Speaker 3: This is a second date updates.
Speaker 7: You call it that. I didn't call it a date.
Speaker 7: It was a dinner.
Speaker 3: So what were you wanting to do? Just be friends
Speaker 3: with her?
Speaker 8: Like?
Speaker 1: This whole thing is a big misunderstanding. Is that what
Speaker 1: you're trying to claim.
Speaker 7: Look, here's what happened. My girlfriend and I were talking
Speaker 7: about how my new job, I don't know anyone, and
Speaker 7: so she suggested. My girlfriend suggests that you try and
Speaker 7: make more friends, and she's supportive of that. So then
Speaker 7: I go to work after our hangout and You've been
Speaker 7: treating me so cold. I've been just doing what my
Speaker 7: girlfriend gold to do, is to make friends.
Speaker 4: Wow.
Speaker 8: Yeah, Well, I mean, Eric, I'm treating you cold because
Speaker 8: you're also hitting on another coworker and flirting with everybody, And.
Speaker 7: That's a little suspicious flirting with anybody. I'm being nice,
Speaker 7: not hitting on anybody. I'm just being friendly and playful.
Speaker 1: Well, you're only being friendly to the attractive single women
Speaker 1: in the office.
Speaker 7: Those are the people I vibe the best with, Truman.
Speaker 4: They are friendly and fun.
Speaker 6: So you say that your girlfriend is supportive of you
Speaker 6: meeting new people and making new friendships at work. Does
Speaker 6: she know the full extent that you're like asking these
Speaker 6: women out to dinner with you?
Speaker 7: She knows that I'm going out with people from work.
Speaker 7: She doesn't need to know specifically how they look, or
Speaker 7: they're attractedness level, or what we with our foods.
Speaker 3: Does she go, you're writing into radio stations for dating,
Speaker 3: said you have a girlfriend at all?
Speaker 4: He says he's not.
Speaker 6: He's not.
Speaker 4: After that, I guess.
Speaker 8: I think that Eric is just trying to completely spin
Speaker 8: this because he was definitely into me.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm sorry. I think you're flattering yourself a little bit.
Speaker 4: So now you can play though I have a.
Speaker 7: Yeah, she wasn't even my type anyway.
Speaker 6: Well that should be reassuring Anna. He's not attracted you.
Speaker 6: Even if you wanted him, you couldn't.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, this is a new work environment for you.
Speaker 3: What are you doing?
Speaker 7: Well, I'm sorry you got the wrong impression. That's what
Speaker 7: I will.
Speaker 4: I will say.
Speaker 6: Brook tries to buy me dinner all the time, and
Speaker 6: it is a huge turn off to me.
Speaker 4: She's always like, Jeff, can I get you lunch? Jeff,
Speaker 4: can I buy you meals erect.
Speaker 5: She says, I'm attracted to you, Jeff, I know the
Speaker 5: only turnoff.
Speaker 3: The only turnoff is when I asked you to pay
Speaker 3: me back.
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, so you want this to be a date,
Speaker 4: then you want to go Everybody saying brook your husband
Speaker 4: listens to this?
Speaker 8: Will you?
Speaker 7: Guys sound just as dysfunctional as this situation has been.
Speaker 7: You're really making it worse. And I want you to
Speaker 7: know that I do still like you as a friend
Speaker 7: and if you are interested, I would hang out with
Speaker 7: you again in a non romantic way.
Speaker 8: So this whole time, all you wanted to do was
Speaker 8: to be friends with me.
Speaker 7: Yes, I mean it's something around the corner. Maybe we
Speaker 7: can go bikini shopping sometime, right my tree joke?
Speaker 4: Are you joking?
Speaker 3: But for his bikini?
Speaker 4: Well that's better.
Speaker 7: I'm being serious. That's what friends do. They go shopping together,
Speaker 7: they have laughed, they give each other their opinions on
Speaker 7: their bikinis on.
Speaker 6: I was skeptical at first, but I'm fully come around
Speaker 6: on Eric and his desire deep passionate friendship with you, Anna,
Speaker 6: And if you agree to see him one more time,
Speaker 6: we would pay for your hangouts, your non romantic bikini hangouts.
Speaker 3: I'm starting to understand why Eric had to move cities.
Speaker 6: You don't know that, Anna, What do you think about
Speaker 6: giving Eric one more shot?
Speaker 8: I think I'm going to pass on Eric at the office.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I just say, try not to get yourself
Speaker 3: reported over there.
Speaker 7: Eric, exactly, that's the last time I make friends in
Speaker 7: the office.
Speaker 4: Is going to be so disappointed.
Speaker 5: Reok and Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 6: I had no idea that the number one friendship test
Speaker 6: to gauge how close you are as friends involved trying
Speaker 6: on bikinis and raiding each other's looks in a totally platonic,
Speaker 6: non sexual way.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's so reassured.
Speaker 3: That's normal.
Speaker 1: I don't even want to try on bikinis with my girlfriends.
Speaker 6: You must not like him very much, do no, Brook,
Speaker 6: That's just what normal male and female friends do.
Speaker 4: Do you have any friends, then you haven't done this.
Speaker 3: I can't stand that guy.
Speaker 4: I know for trying to find friendship at work.
Speaker 3: Boom, screw you. He was not trying to find friendship
Speaker 3: on the floor.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'm sorry, but his girlfriend would not be
Speaker 1: okay with him bikini shopping with other sing Come on.
Speaker 4: You don't know. Relationships look different to everybody.
Speaker 3: You keep defending them.
Speaker 6: I think for our annual show camping trip, we need
Speaker 6: to scrap that. Do an annual show shopping trip to
Speaker 6: the Pacific Sun. Get all matching swimwear.
Speaker 3: I'm somehow that's still better than camping.
Speaker 6: Yes, right, we're all going bikini shopping this summer day
Speaker 6: because we're friends. But honestly, America is being serious and
Speaker 6: he's looking for friendship.
Speaker 4: He probably should change his approach drastically. Dude, Wait to
Speaker 4: set the tone in a new city too, plays environment
Speaker 4: for him.
Speaker 3: When that gets out, Dude, serious, I think it's out.
Speaker 4: Yeah, she's going to be moving cities again. Very short.
Speaker 4: Yeah money, good news, I'm moving back.
Speaker 6: But we're in cities all over the country. So no
Speaker 6: matter where you need help in your dating life, you
Speaker 6: can always email the show. We'll call that person who's
Speaker 6: not calling you back.
