Speaker 1: Second day. We recently talked about a survey that was
Speaker 1: done about the worst things that you could possibly do
Speaker 1: on a first date, and the second worst was meeting
Speaker 1: the family. Oh yeah, which I guess it is a
Speaker 1: big no no to introduce mom and dad to the
Speaker 1: person you're going out with. I won't even tell you
Speaker 1: what number one was, who was meeting Brooks family get away? Yeah,
Speaker 1: definitely don't want to do that on the I think
Speaker 1: that they're a big selling point of dating me. Thank
Speaker 1: you very much. You know, the wedding day was like Russia, Russia,
Speaker 1: But when it comes to meeting the fam, don't think
Speaker 1: our listener Jackie got the message because that's exactly what
Speaker 1: happened on her dates. So Jackie, welcome to the show
Speaker 1: and tell us about the guy you traumatize. What's his name?
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I didn't think I traumatized, but maybe
Speaker 1: I did. His name is Paul. Do you live with
Speaker 1: your parents? Is that what's going on here? No? I don't.
Speaker 1: But you know I'm the only daughter, which makes me
Speaker 1: his only sister, right, Okay, okay, which makes you a
Speaker 1: real big focus of attention, is what you're saying. And
Speaker 1: I love it. I love it that far when it
Speaker 1: comes to date. All right, okay, so how did this happen?
Speaker 1: How did your family end up meeting Paul? So here's
Speaker 1: the deal. I met Paul online and he wanted to
Speaker 1: take me out an Alazal game, and so we talked
Speaker 1: about where to go on a date. And apparently Paul
Speaker 1: likes Italian food, and so he suggested an Italian restaurant.
Speaker 1: This all sounds pretty, you know, normal, but yeah, great
Speaker 1: first date too. Italian restaurant. Kind of romantic as it
Speaker 1: would have it though, my dad and my brother they
Speaker 1: actually own a restaurant and it is an Italian restaurant.
Speaker 1: I'm in love with you. Now, can I eat for free?
Speaker 1: Papa John's is her actual papa? That would be a no,
Speaker 1: oh my god? Wait so that I mean just even
Speaker 1: you suggesting that you know that your family is going
Speaker 1: to meet this date like free? Well, okay, so a
Speaker 1: couple of things. So after he agreed to go there,
Speaker 1: I did say perhaps we could eat for free. But
Speaker 1: you know what, He's turned out to be a really
Speaker 1: classic guy, and I loved that because he's like, listen,
Speaker 1: I don't want to eat for free, I'll pay. And
Speaker 1: I love that because you show that he wasn't a
Speaker 1: free lover. Right, yea's business. That's a good thing. Off. Like,
Speaker 1: have you taken first dates to your family's restaurant before,
Speaker 1: Well none of them like the Italian food either, so
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Yeah, And so here's the thing.
Speaker 1: I told my family that we were going to be there,
Speaker 1: and I told him, Hey, guys just standing back, are
Speaker 1: you kidding? So how does it go when you guys
Speaker 1: actually show up to the restaurant. Well, first of all,
Speaker 1: can I tell you just how impressed I was with Paul.
Speaker 1: He was just really nice. He was really cute. So
Speaker 1: once he's there, they wrote. When I say they, I'm
Speaker 1: talking about the restaurant's staff, they rolled out the VIP
Speaker 1: treatment and we even get to sit at the reserve table,
Speaker 1: you know, the one that's reserved for special guests. Daughter
Speaker 1: normally the president sits, hereticks I got you boom exactly.
Speaker 1: So it was it was really nice. We were having fun,
Speaker 1: you know, we connected, we were laughing, it was a
Speaker 1: little flirting going on. And then my dad and my
Speaker 1: brother comes out to meet Paul. Yeah. Right, if you
Speaker 1: didn't meet you don't take him to the restaurant. So
Speaker 1: how does that go? Well, you know, they've always been
Speaker 1: a little protective of nations. I'm the only daughter, only sister, right,
Speaker 1: but this time they were just kind of overly obnoxious
Speaker 1: about it. My brother even came out with a me
Speaker 1: clear so cliche, it asked cliche, right, but it happened,
Speaker 1: and he just kept kind of kitting it inside of
Speaker 1: his hand as he was talking to father. I though
Speaker 1: he was trying to joke. It was so funny because
Speaker 1: the food came out and they just kept needling him, right,
Speaker 1: And Dad said that the secret ingredient in the ragusas
Speaker 1: was from my ex boyfriend. I mean, that's actually kind
Speaker 1: of funny. Tastes a little tough, but yeah, I don't
Speaker 1: have to worry about him now. And guys just love
Speaker 1: poking fun of we're able to actually like get the
Speaker 1: date back on track. You Well, after the needling went
Speaker 1: on from far too long, they finally got the hint
Speaker 1: and went back in the back. But after that, Paul
Speaker 1: was being a little reserved and he wasn't a flirty. Yeah,
Speaker 1: were you regretting suggesting your own family's restaurant for the date? Well,
Speaker 1: I wasn't necessarily regretting it. It was feeling a little awkward,
Speaker 1: but I thought, okay, you know he's this is a
Speaker 1: matur guy. He gets it. But then when we got
Speaker 1: ready to say goodbye, I turned to look and there
Speaker 1: was my brother looking out the window. Or he's into
Speaker 1: some weird stuffy kids are good yea, well, while Paul's
Speaker 1: his car. There was no no kiss or anything. But
Speaker 1: he got in his car and he left, and so
Speaker 1: I went back in, and of course I let my
Speaker 1: brother and my dad, I let him have it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but the biggest thing is that I've called Paul that
Speaker 1: he's not been very responsive since then. I think they
Speaker 1: scared him all. Yeah, because I like him and I
Speaker 1: don't think there was time for anything else to go wrong. Yeah,
Speaker 1: let's find out. We're gonna play a song. We'll come back.
Speaker 1: We'll call Paul for you and try and get your
Speaker 1: second date up date. Okay, on second you know in cooking,
Speaker 1: how they say you mix in a little love with
Speaker 1: a little sugar, spice everything nice. That's what we're doing today,
Speaker 1: baking up a tasty second date, or should I say
Speaker 1: second date, because we're talking with Jackie, whose family owns
Speaker 1: an Italian restaurant, and she made the mistake of bringing
Speaker 1: her date there. First date tolder, dad and brother do
Speaker 1: not come out from the back. What did you stay there?
Speaker 1: Another mistake. You're just egging him on in that place,
Speaker 1: which of course they did come out anyway. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: jokingly made a few threats, and now Paul is not
Speaker 1: calling her back. Her brother was just staring at them
Speaker 1: from the window as they walked to the car, window
Speaker 1: holding literally seriously. So afterwards, Paul has been a little
Speaker 1: bit hesitant to reach out, maybe understandably, Jackie. You don't
Speaker 1: think he's actually sleeping with the fishes right now? I
Speaker 1: hope not. Yeah, Okay, I know you said Paul isn't
Speaker 1: calling you back, but I also know you went in
Speaker 1: and like just reamed your dad and your brother. Did
Speaker 1: they apologize for their behavior? They did. They apologize to
Speaker 1: me because you know they love me, and they were like,
Speaker 1: what are you talking about? We were just kidding with
Speaker 1: the guy. Guy that can't take that and maybe doesn't
Speaker 1: deserve to be really good. He just went too far.
Speaker 1: Almost like during the break I was almost thinking the
Speaker 1: same thing. I'm trying to think of their perspective, and
Speaker 1: I'm like, look, as a brother. If he can't take
Speaker 1: an honest joke knowing that, hey, we're gonna be like
Speaker 1: the joke was too long. I know, but I'm just
Speaker 1: saying I could also see that you don't want a
Speaker 1: guy who takes everything so serious as one Yeah, you
Speaker 1: can't take a few threats against his life on the
Speaker 1: first date. Let's see what Paul has to say. We're
Speaker 1: gonna give him a call and see if he even answers.
Speaker 1: Be ready, I am all right? Here we go. Hello. Hey,
Speaker 1: is this Paul? Yes it is that's calling. Hey, Paul.
Speaker 1: I'm happy to hear you're alive. My name is jeff
Speaker 1: from the radio show Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.
Speaker 1: Mm Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning. That's what I said. Oh,
Speaker 1: let's how are you guys doing today? Hi, Paul. Can't
Speaker 1: tell if you're familiar with us or not, but we're
Speaker 1: doing sometim It's just the first time I've had a
Speaker 1: radio show called me am. I am I getting punked.
Speaker 1: I got Ashton because you're on the line. That is
Speaker 1: like a fifteen year old reference twenty year old saying
Speaker 1: twenty five. Sorry. Our producers in the back we haven't
Speaker 1: done punking on our show since Brooks first days in radio. Well,
Speaker 1: this is something called a second date update, and we're
Speaker 1: trying to get you in touch with one of our
Speaker 1: listeners named Jackie. Oh. Okay, you remember going out with
Speaker 1: Jackie not too long ago. I couldn't forget her for
Speaker 1: more than one reason. Okay, Oh is that I don't know?
Speaker 1: It could be. I mean it definitely from her description,
Speaker 1: sounds like it was a very memorable night for both
Speaker 1: of you. That's say, in the least, it was. It
Speaker 1: was a unique experience. Okay, we've heard a little bit
Speaker 1: about the experience. Why don't you tell us what it
Speaker 1: was like from your perspective. Well, to start out, it
Speaker 1: was great. I mean, we had very good conversation and
Speaker 1: a little bit of flirting and stuff, and then her
Speaker 1: dad comes out with probably the biggest butcher knife I've
Speaker 1: ever seen. Her dad had a knife too. Yeah, like
Speaker 1: both of them, her dad and her big brother. So
Speaker 1: we spoke to Jackie a little bit before this, and
Speaker 1: she did mention that her family came out and were
Speaker 1: they were being a little bit aggressive, but in a
Speaker 1: jokey way, like it was all supposed to be. At
Speaker 1: first It did kind of seem like a joke because
Speaker 1: the dad was real. He was smiling and joking, and
Speaker 1: he kind of like tapped me on the shoulder and
Speaker 1: he's like, oh, you know, you'll be fine. And the
Speaker 1: brother then made like a joke about the saw, something
Speaker 1: about the secret ingredient was parts left over from the
Speaker 1: ex boyfriends or something, and it was funny. I chuckled
Speaker 1: until I looked up at him and I felt like
Speaker 1: I was in that the scene, the garage scene from
Speaker 1: Den of Thieves where all the guys are just standing
Speaker 1: around the boyfriend and like, I just I kind of
Speaker 1: got this. You're really great with the references that everybody
Speaker 1: will do. But it sounds like somebody got killed in
Speaker 1: the movie. Yeah, okay, it was very scary, so yeah,
Speaker 1: but I think that was the point. It was supposed
Speaker 1: to be a little bit intimidating and it was supposed
Speaker 1: to just kind of make you laugh. Well, I mean,
Speaker 1: if it would have ended right there, I think it
Speaker 1: would have been great. But a few days went by
Speaker 1: and I get a notification on my phone. It's my
Speaker 1: ring doorbell and it's her brother. What at your at
Speaker 1: your apartment? Yes? And at my apartment Oh. I don't
Speaker 1: know how he found out where I lived, but I
Speaker 1: was terrified. Are you sure that it was them? I
Speaker 1: would never forget that face in that window? Seriously, what
Speaker 1: did you do? Did you call the cops? I would
Speaker 1: call the cops. I just I just went to my
Speaker 1: room and I acted like I wasn't home. I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't even think that Jackie knows that even happened,
Speaker 1: because she didn't mention anything to us about Oh. I
Speaker 1: would have hit her up and been like, what the
Speaker 1: hell is going on? Jackie? Dogs off? Oh? I honestly,
Speaker 1: I've been a little scared to answer reply to any
Speaker 1: of her text Did they not want me to contact her?
Speaker 1: Do they want me to contact her? I'm scared to
Speaker 1: do anything. I mean, maybe we should just ask her that,
Speaker 1: because I need to tell you Jackie's been on the
Speaker 1: other line listening this entire time, and she wants to
Speaker 1: talk to you. Okay, Oh my god, yeah, sorry? Did
Speaker 1: I just put you in danger? Paul? My bad? That's
Speaker 1: what you as Jackie probably be able to answer that
Speaker 1: a little bit better than me. Yeah, j Hi, Paul,
Speaker 1: what the hell Jackie? Did you did you know that
Speaker 1: they did that? No? And I'm sitting here like with
Speaker 1: my eyes as wide as flying soulciers in my mouth
Speaker 1: a gape. I mean, are you serious and kidding? They
Speaker 1: came to your house. I'll send you the video footage.
Speaker 1: I saved it. Why do I hear a smile in
Speaker 1: Jacko and said, like, what the how would they know
Speaker 1: his address? Jackie? No, No, guys, what happened is I
Speaker 1: gave them a hard time about giving him a hard time,
Speaker 1: and it's I was like, you guys have got to
Speaker 1: call him and apologize. Okay, call and apologize. So why
Speaker 1: would they need his address to call and apologize? Jackie?
Speaker 1: I know that because they loved me, that they wanted
Speaker 1: to make this right for me, but not they're right
Speaker 1: for me, but for Paul. That is crazy, Jackie. Listen
Speaker 1: to yourself. That is nuts. Okay, I know it totally
Speaker 1: seems crazy, right, but listen, my brother is harmless. He's
Speaker 1: a little passionate, but really he's just like a big
Speaker 1: teddy Bears. About the impression that you got from them, Paul,
Speaker 1: teddy bear standing at your front door, Um, how I
Speaker 1: wouldn't use teddy Bear. I would probably say grizzly bear,
Speaker 1: come on, come on, and I think that's a little extreme.
Speaker 1: I don't really think you are that freaking sensitive, is so, Jackie?
Speaker 1: I love me. Well, Jackie, you know you weren't there,
Speaker 1: but your brother's pounding on the door, saying, hey, you go,
Speaker 1: I know you're in there. I see your car. He's like, pound,
Speaker 1: you better answer my sister's calls, and he's screaming, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: He was screaming, you better call my sister back right now.
Speaker 1: Grab the tomatoes on the oregular. We gotta make this
Speaker 1: guy impossible. Listen, Guys, I mean, I know it sounds crazy,
Speaker 1: but that's just kind of the way he is. He's
Speaker 1: just a big, jokey kind of guy. How many felonies
Speaker 1: does your brother have? Not that I know, Oh god,
Speaker 1: they're all misdemeanors. I'm sure that if if we all
Speaker 1: came back to the restaurant, he could all put this
Speaker 1: thing together there, Jackie. I don't want to be offensive here,
Speaker 1: but any mob movie that I've ever seen that's a
Speaker 1: couple like Italian guys are a little bit pushy, ends
Speaker 1: with somebody at the bottom of a lake not getting
Speaker 1: a second date at the ifs. Does anyone else want
Speaker 1: to check on the axe that could possibly be should
Speaker 1: taste that raggedy sauce. But maybe this week we can
Speaker 1: do a little bit of a different ending here, because Paul,
Speaker 1: I got an offer that you can't refuse. Go on
Speaker 1: another date with our beautiful listener Jackie, or somebody's legs
Speaker 1: might end up broken. Do a little spring cleaning. I'm
Speaker 1: kind of afraid to say no, Paul, say no, say no, Paula. Paul,
Speaker 1: you really shouldn't say no, trust me. Oh, Paul, what
Speaker 1: do you say? Second date with Jackie? Yeah, Jackie, I
Speaker 1: guess I'll go out with you again? What dude? Yes,
Speaker 1: the right choice, Paul. It'd be good to see you,
Speaker 1: real fun to see you on the menu at the
Speaker 1: restaurant and Jeffrey in the morning. Probably one of the
Speaker 1: most intense second date updates that I can remember doing.
Speaker 1: Can we do wellness track some people? Can we check
Speaker 1: in with this guy and make sure he's okay? Well?
Speaker 1: Probably should. After we recorded that segment, Jackie actually emailed
Speaker 1: us and said thank you for getting them another date
Speaker 1: with Paul, and she promised to send over a free
Speaker 1: gift card to her family's rest Thank you. One of
Speaker 1: us is so hungry we might actually show up. I mean,
Speaker 1: if it's Olive Garden, I'm down because then they're Italian food. Jose,
Speaker 1: you could end up getting Jackie to fall in love
Speaker 1: with you while you're there. You got a new brother
Speaker 1: in law, Grizzly Bear and Papa Bear teaming up free
Speaker 1: pasta for life. At least I won't die alone. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they're and a belly full of by guess that's a
Speaker 1: positive way to look at it. I'm all in, but
Speaker 1: we will try and get an update from them. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't want him to turn into the meatball special
Speaker 1: run the menu. It's so crazy. It was so crazy
Speaker 1: that Jackie didn't feel like I know. That was the
Speaker 1: weirdest part for sure. Families Italian, that may be more
Speaker 1: normal for you. But anyway, if you want to hear
Speaker 1: any of our second dates, you can always find them
Speaker 1: Brooke and Jeffrey on Spotify or wherever you get your podcast.
Speaker 1: We do a bunch of them every single week, and
Speaker 1: then email us if you'd like to get a second
Speaker 1: date update done for yourself. Yes, for sure. Broke and
Speaker 1: Jeffrey in the Morning
