Speaker 1: Second data date. Weird coincidences, they happen all the time.
Speaker 1: Like I just found out the other day I'm sharing
Speaker 1: a birthday with the guy who does my oil changes.
Speaker 1: Is that just funny happenstance or is it the work
Speaker 1: of aliens? It's just it's just too bizarre to just
Speaker 1: happen all by itself. And one of our listeners had
Speaker 1: a weird coincidence happened to him on his first date.
Speaker 1: We're aliens behind it. We're gonna find out. Eric, Welcome
Speaker 1: to the show. Thanks for having me. Guy. All right,
Speaker 1: from your laughter, I can tell the alien thing wasn't
Speaker 1: your idea. Yeah, yeah, or we're aliens behind that intro?
Speaker 1: They never know. Yeah, sorry to weird you out, Eric,
Speaker 1: I don't think you are. Sorry, Oh, no, no problem.
Speaker 1: I getting aliens exists. Okay, all right, he's very confident
Speaker 1: about that. But we're gonna shift from the aliens and
Speaker 1: focus on your date. Unless you went out with an alien,
Speaker 1: who who'd you go out with? I went out with
Speaker 1: a human woman, okay, or so she says. Her name
Speaker 1: was Carrie actually, and we just met online. Yeah what
Speaker 1: was special about her? Oh? Well, yeah, we chatted for
Speaker 1: a few days. I suggested drinks and it was Her
Speaker 1: response though, was a little like weird to it, Like
Speaker 1: the night that I suggested, she said she had something
Speaker 1: going on, but she was like, okay with blowing it
Speaker 1: off to come hang out with me. Oh she told
Speaker 1: you that. Yeah, she said it exactly like that, And
Speaker 1: you know, I was like, okay, as long as not
Speaker 1: important or anything. See, I would think that's risky. It
Speaker 1: feels like you're making yourself too available, like you're too desperate.
Speaker 1: I would be worried, like what kind of message I'd said,
Speaker 1: But you liked it. Yeah, I thought, I'll just look
Speaker 1: at us her being eager, and that made me excited
Speaker 1: to go hang out with her. Okay, so what did
Speaker 1: you do for your meet up? Exactly? We met at
Speaker 1: a bar and when we got there, like we just connected.
Speaker 1: I thought she was super cute, funny, and it was
Speaker 1: refreshing to see it's a nice, normal person. Oh okay,
Speaker 1: I mean, what do you think she thought of you?
Speaker 1: I thought it was great, you know, like we were
Speaker 1: talking for twenty thirty minutes and she was laughing at
Speaker 1: please and I didn't even think we're funny. So I
Speaker 1: don't know, it felt to me like she was also
Speaker 1: with a good time. Okay. When I suggested another round,
Speaker 1: she said, yeah, of course. It got kind of weird
Speaker 1: in the conversation though. We started talking about families and
Speaker 1: I don't know, this is a weird coincidence came up
Speaker 1: like she had mentioned that she had this cousin and
Speaker 1: I knew the cousin that she was talking about. Oh
Speaker 1: my god, No, it's too serendipitous to just happen by accidents.
Speaker 1: Did they really know each other from a past or
Speaker 1: was it alious? She knows his cousin at least that's
Speaker 1: what Ah? Wait, you know her cousin? Sorry? Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: I know her cousin. Yeah, we just knew each other
Speaker 1: in college. Actually I haven't him and buddy seven or
Speaker 1: eight years, but we were good buddies at the time.
Speaker 1: That's good. It's really cool, and I mean it makes
Speaker 1: for an easy like, oh my god, I'd love to
Speaker 1: see him. We should all go hang out. Oh well,
Speaker 1: she told me that actually the plans that she canceled
Speaker 1: was a family barbecue and that her cousin was gonna
Speaker 1: be there and so we should go check it out. Now, wow, no,
Speaker 1: did you go? Then you would meet the entire family
Speaker 1: on the first date. And that's what I kind of
Speaker 1: told her. I was like, Um, isn't that weird for
Speaker 1: a first date, you know, and she said, no, don't
Speaker 1: worry about It'd be funny, funny. I mean maybe she's
Speaker 1: got a super chill family. Yeah. Yeah. So we went
Speaker 1: left the bar. What was that, Like, is that awkward? Well,
Speaker 1: I mean I had a cool time. You know. We
Speaker 1: ended up chatting with the cousin. I ended up chatting
Speaker 1: with her little brother who's like in high school. Now
Speaker 1: I'm a teacher, so we talked a lot about classes. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's great. And the family was like friendly, they're polite
Speaker 1: to me, and they're kind of funny. So like I
Speaker 1: thought that the whole thing was actually kind of cool. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean this all sounds so positive. Yeah. Did something
Speaker 1: go wrong? So the way it ended because we had
Speaker 1: drove there together, but she was with her family, you know.
Speaker 1: I gave her a hug, said goodbye when it was
Speaker 1: time for me to like start heading on out there,
Speaker 1: and she decided to hang back and be with her family,
Speaker 1: which makes sense, Yeah, totally. And we talked about seeing
Speaker 1: each other again, and I thought like, Okay, this is
Speaker 1: going to be really cool and everything. But she's actually
Speaker 1: been sort of ghostly me since then. She responded at all. No,
Speaker 1: not even a single responses. I've been tried to reach
Speaker 1: out to her, but I can't even think of what
Speaker 1: it could be. You didn't have any strange interactions with
Speaker 1: any other family members of hers, because I mean she
Speaker 1: could have gotten a report like, oh that guy stay clear.
Speaker 1: Oh no. And I met some people, but mostly I
Speaker 1: just kept talking to a little brother and we talked
Speaker 1: mostly about pol Okay, that sounds healthy and awesome. Are
Speaker 1: there any like large gaps of time that go unaccounted?
Speaker 1: Was it daytime when you got there, and then nighttime
Speaker 1: all of a sudden when you left, probably because barbecue
Speaker 1: later in the day's ghost The mystery deepens. We're gonna
Speaker 1: try and explain these unexplainable things when we continue your
Speaker 1: second date update right after this second let's look at
Speaker 1: the facts. Eric went on a first date with a
Speaker 1: woman named Carrie. Check. Carrie has a cousin who just
Speaker 1: happened to attend the same college as Eric. Carrie cousin college.
Speaker 1: That's three c's. You take three C and turn it
Speaker 1: upside down. Looks like alien footprints to me. I'm sure
Speaker 1: our listener Eric is seeing the exact same signs as
Speaker 1: I am, aren't you, Eric, I just I just don't
Speaker 1: even know what's going on. You and I should meet
Speaker 1: together and talk about other theories that I have at
Speaker 1: a library soon. But first we're gonna call Carrie for
Speaker 1: you and ask her to explain the unexplainable. O. Thank you,
Speaker 1: thank you. Yeah, I don't know what was going on?
Speaker 1: Can I ask you? Eric? Because I mean, good theory, Jeff,
Speaker 1: But what do you think? I don't know. I think
Speaker 1: this is a reach, but like maybe there's a world
Speaker 1: where I like spent too much time apart from hercue
Speaker 1: like it was a date, you know, it's some sort
Speaker 1: of alternate dimension. I know, you mean, like she was
Speaker 1: jealous of you, vibing with her little bro, or you know,
Speaker 1: just not giving her enough attention. I'm a date that
Speaker 1: we're supposed to be going that you know, we didn't
Speaker 1: think of that. That could be the reason it has
Speaker 1: a head scratch for me, Man, I like, I really
Speaker 1: feel like that might be a stretch. I'm still leaning
Speaker 1: towards aliens are behind date all because I don't want
Speaker 1: to subscribe to the idea that you're just a bad dater.
Speaker 1: But for your benefit, I'm hoping that extraterrestrials are behind this.
Speaker 1: But let's just call Carrie and get to the bottom
Speaker 1: of it. All right, here we go, we are, We're
Speaker 1: gonna pick up this device and try and reach out
Speaker 1: to carry Let's do it. Hello, Hey, is this Carrie? Um? Yeah,
Speaker 1: you had to think about that for a second. It
Speaker 1: sounds like Carrie, what's up. We're a morning radio show
Speaker 1: called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning. Hey, Carrie. Hello,
Speaker 1: It's okay for you to be skeptical of us. We
Speaker 1: get that a lot. But we're doing something on our show,
Speaker 1: trying to help out one of our listeners who's having
Speaker 1: a hard time getting a hold of you. That's different. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: for you, not for us. We do it. I mean honestly,
Speaker 1: we do it every day. Yeah. There's like literally thousands
Speaker 1: of these calls, but you're just one of the thousands,
Speaker 1: and we would like to put you back in touch
Speaker 1: with a guy that you went on a date with
Speaker 1: recently named Eric. Oh yeah, um yeah, I don't like
Speaker 1: him whom you brought him to your family's barbecue. That's weird.
Speaker 1: That you would even tell you that, Well, I just
Speaker 1: I mean it in like you liked him at one point. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Because here's how this works. We talked to Eric before
Speaker 1: we called you, and we heard about your guys' first
Speaker 1: date about getting drinks and the strange coincidence that he
Speaker 1: knew one of your cousins. Yeah, so did you like
Speaker 1: him then during all that part? I mean I did.
Speaker 1: I actually thought everything went great at the barbecue and
Speaker 1: I was going to hang out with him again. What
Speaker 1: happened between Everything's going great and we're having a good
Speaker 1: time together at the barbecue too? I hate him? Okay,
Speaker 1: I think she didn't say I hate I said I
Speaker 1: don't like him. That's how that's how it came into mind. Okay, what, well?
Speaker 1: What changed? Well? Okay, well, everybody in my family liked him,
Speaker 1: but my younger brother liked him the most. He's a
Speaker 1: freshman in high school. Yeah, and we heard Eric's a teacher,
Speaker 1: so it seems like it was easy for him to,
Speaker 1: you know, find subjects to connect with your little brother on. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Maybe a little too easy, because I actually found out
Speaker 1: the reason you liked him the most is apparently Eric
Speaker 1: has agreed to write an essay for my brother in
Speaker 1: his English work class because he's a teacher. What a
Speaker 1: good guy, A smart move. Is that what your little
Speaker 1: brother said, because I highly doubt a teacher would do that. Like,
Speaker 1: maybe your little brother got confused. I don't know how
Speaker 1: he got confused, because he was so excited. He's like,
Speaker 1: I only have to pay him fifty bucks for it.
Speaker 1: Take kids money. Yeah, willing to help your brother with
Speaker 1: his academics. And that's a tournaments that poorly that they
Speaker 1: need to get fifty bucks from a high school kid exactly.
Speaker 1: And I mean it's a huge essay for like a
Speaker 1: quarter of his grades. Oh geez, Like what is this
Speaker 1: guy doing? Like I didn't okay that he didn't even
Speaker 1: tell me about that conversation. I'm pretty sure that's against
Speaker 1: the rule. Believe your brother no matter what. Like, God,
Speaker 1: that's just wild to me. We didn't hear why would
Speaker 1: he make that up? Well, I don't know. We didn't
Speaker 1: hear any of that from Eric, and I feel like
Speaker 1: we don't know the whole story here. We should probably
Speaker 1: get the rest of it from Eric himself, who's actually
Speaker 1: on the other line right now. No way, I carry
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Oh, he needs to be called out. If
Speaker 1: that's a case, Carrie, that's a weird coincidence that he
Speaker 1: was just there. Yes, Carrie, Carrie, I hear you, and
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that you're wrong, but I'm shocked that
Speaker 1: you're saying what you're saying right now your job. You
Speaker 1: didn't offer to do my brothers English let paper. Is
Speaker 1: that what you're saying you didn't he's lying exactly though
Speaker 1: he's not lying, but like maybe he just didn't share
Speaker 1: everything that was going on. I'm talking to your brother
Speaker 1: at the party, that's not I was talking to him
Speaker 1: at the party and he was just complaining on about
Speaker 1: how no one and in the family's helping him, how
Speaker 1: stressful to classes, and how much you appreciated being to
Speaker 1: talk to me, you know, being a teacher. He didn't.
Speaker 1: I only took the fifty bucks because he insisted on
Speaker 1: being nice and I didn't even take anybody from it.
Speaker 1: He then mod it to me, but he already paid
Speaker 1: you do. He just sent me at random, like notice
Speaker 1: on Benmo saying, hey, I appreciate the conversation on what's
Speaker 1: coming up. It's Eric, Eric. I think maybe you should
Speaker 1: take a breath because you're sounding a little bit defensive
Speaker 1: and nervous here. You're talking really really fast. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: just had a really nice thought. Okay, I'm supposed to
Speaker 1: believe that you didn't ask for the fifty bucks, like,
Speaker 1: I don't know why he would just spend fifty bucks.
Speaker 1: And did you send it back to him, And did
Speaker 1: you offer to write this paper anyway? Or did you
Speaker 1: just offer to help him, like like, why would you
Speaker 1: think you're going to write the paper, because even if
Speaker 1: you don't get paid for that, that's not ethical, right, Yes, exactly,
Speaker 1: I only offered to give him some tutoring. I don't
Speaker 1: know how he phrased it to you. It sounds like
Speaker 1: he was saying, like someone's going to do is work
Speaker 1: for him. But I'm a teacher. I would never do
Speaker 1: something like that, like he needs to learn, you know,
Speaker 1: you know, because Zone and the family was supporting him.
Speaker 1: It's funny that none of this came up when we
Speaker 1: talked to you the first time. Eric, I didn't even
Speaker 1: feel like a big deal for me. I forgot a
Speaker 1: bull about it almost. I want to believe you. I
Speaker 1: want to believe you the tutoring part. But it's just
Speaker 1: like the fifty bucks in Venmo makes it feel different. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because if he were touring him, wouldn't you talk to
Speaker 1: his parents and arranging. I mean, I know he's a
Speaker 1: senior in high school, but like, it sounds like it's
Speaker 1: not the first time this kid's cheated. Also, i'd like
Speaker 1: to say yeah without being asked, He's like, I know
Speaker 1: how this works. Yeah. It seemed to me like he
Speaker 1: didn't want anyone else to know. And then I was
Speaker 1: just doing him a favorite, you know, and I really
Speaker 1: want to him press obviously you on our date, and
Speaker 1: so I said, like, Okay, no big deal. Normally I
Speaker 1: charged two hundred dollars for true right, I actually believe
Speaker 1: him now really, Yeah, I'm gonna trust him. Well, I
Speaker 1: thought about it for I'm gonna trust him over a
Speaker 1: seventeen year old. Yeah. I think Brooks just trying to
Speaker 1: get the family discount for her kids. I mean, it
Speaker 1: doesn't really matter what we think about it. It really
Speaker 1: just comes down to carry. I think that you should
Speaker 1: go out with Eric one more time, give him the
Speaker 1: benefit of the doubt, and we would pay to send
Speaker 1: you on another date if you're up for it. Um,
Speaker 1: I might be up for it, But Eric, I feel
Speaker 1: like you need to do something like apologize to my parents,
Speaker 1: or like give my brother the money back, clear the
Speaker 1: air something before again, he's already writing his entire essay
Speaker 1: for him. What more do you want? Well, I why
Speaker 1: you did not do that, Carrie. I had a really
Speaker 1: good time with you. I'm excited to see you again.
Speaker 1: Done and done. I'll get that money right back. Good guy, Carrie.
Speaker 1: So two dates meeting the parents both times. You guys
Speaker 1: are moving fast in this ship. Good for you. Okay,
Speaker 1: are you excited? Eric? Yeah? It just might have a
Speaker 1: cleared up. You know, you don't always connect with everybody
Speaker 1: go out with. Yeah, that's true. She's kind of a
Speaker 1: lame sister. You don't always connect all the dots. But
Speaker 1: finally we have the answers. It it wasn't Aliens, it
Speaker 1: was Venmo. Stay tuned for the next unsolved mysteries involved it,
Speaker 1: though well solved mysteries on Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning,
Speaker 1: Broke and Jeffrey in the Morning,
