Speaker 1: Second day. When you see an attractive person online, what's
Speaker 1: your best move to start the conversation. I know for
Speaker 1: our technical director Ashton, he starts with two words, and
Speaker 1: this is true. He opens with, hey, trouble. The success
Speaker 1: raid is probably under twenty percent, maybe even under two percent,
Speaker 1: but you know it's not going to stop him from trying.
Speaker 1: Worked on. One of our listeners, Spence says he connected
Speaker 1: with a very attractive woman on a dating app and
Speaker 1: it was purely coincidental. So let's talk to him and
Speaker 1: hear about it. Hey troublemaker, welcome to the trouble Bubble. Yeah,
Speaker 1: trouble happens on this show. I took the right dat
Speaker 1: to fall, that's for sure. Yeah. I think it's so
Speaker 1: weird that you're saying you coincidentally met somebody online. Isn't
Speaker 1: it all purposeful when you're online dating? Tell us what happened.
Speaker 1: So I met Robin on a dating app, and the
Speaker 1: whole reason that we met is because under hobbies she
Speaker 1: had listed glass blowing. Coincidentally, I've actually taken a glassblowing class,
Speaker 1: and so I thought that I would strike up a
Speaker 1: conversation about that. Oh, I took one of those two
Speaker 1: did you make a little dish to put your like
Speaker 1: paper clips in, because that's what I made. That sounds
Speaker 1: really fun, you know. I made like, you know, those
Speaker 1: glass balls you can buy it like pier One, those
Speaker 1: kinds of well they used to, you know, but I
Speaker 1: made stuff like that. Okay, your item was even more
Speaker 1: useless than mine. Yeah, and here's a weird thing about it.
Speaker 1: So I messaged her about the glass blowing and she
Speaker 1: tells me that she doesn't even know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 1: She's never done glass blowing, and chat's not in their profile.
Speaker 1: And I realized that we're chatting. I think I was
Speaker 1: talking about like a different girl. Oh but she wrote
Speaker 1: you back, which means she thinks he had a cute picture. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I'm just glad we're talking at this point, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, because like half the battle of online
Speaker 1: dating is getting them to respond, and that's tough. So
Speaker 1: what did you do like rush over to robaio and
Speaker 1: be like, ha ha, what a Joe car That was funny.
Speaker 1: We just kept chatting and uh, we're getting along pretty well.
Speaker 1: And I decided, well, you want to meet up? And
Speaker 1: she said sure she would love to. All right, good work,
Speaker 1: So what did you end up doing for the date? Well,
Speaker 1: we did a picnic in the park. And I feel like,
Speaker 1: you know, a picnic is kind of a cheap date.
Speaker 1: That's why I was literally think in my head. But
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not negative cheap, but I'm just you know,
Speaker 1: trying to save a little money. Yeah, but you could
Speaker 1: still make it cute even if it's not that expensive. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and it was. It was kind of cute. You know.
Speaker 1: I also brought like a frisbee so we could play
Speaker 1: frize be a little bit. I played at ukulele, so
Speaker 1: I brought back. I went to the like there's a
Speaker 1: comedian store, and you know how they have like food prepared.
Speaker 1: No stood, I thought you were talking like a shortcootery
Speaker 1: board or something. Oh no, no. And they had like
Speaker 1: top with potana salad spoons. And that's a date. It's
Speaker 1: funny that you should bust me in a potato salad
Speaker 1: because actually I forgot to pack forks and knives and stuff. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's gonna be a problem. Scoop it with your hair
Speaker 1: at that point, just straight in, just air dropping it
Speaker 1: from the top. Yeah, that was a little awkward. So
Speaker 1: we had to actually like scoop some of that out
Speaker 1: using like the lid of the container and then put
Speaker 1: it on each of the plates from the Did she
Speaker 1: do that or was it just you that did that?
Speaker 1: I mean, we both did it, but it was my idea,
Speaker 1: you know, creative. She was down with it, and you know,
Speaker 1: I thought she had a good sense of humor too,
Speaker 1: because at one point, like I pretended to feed her
Speaker 1: like with the potato solid from my hand, but it
Speaker 1: was you know, she knew I was joking. She laughed,
Speaker 1: so it was actually in your hand at one point.
Speaker 1: This sounds like a disaster. The fact that you just
Speaker 1: said she was laughing all time is actually good. I mean,
Speaker 1: is that the vibe that you were getting that you
Speaker 1: and Robin were connecting during this entire day? So yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean overall it felt really good. We especially started
Speaker 1: to connect, I think too when I broke out the wine.
Speaker 1: It sounds like everything's going pretty well. How did the
Speaker 1: night end? Oh man? So we're at the park right
Speaker 1: and we're just having a good time. The sun starts
Speaker 1: going down, and I feel like it's getting kind of romantic,
Speaker 1: you know, And I invited her to come over to
Speaker 1: my place. Oh I told her it's like, look, you know,
Speaker 1: I only live like eleven blocks away, you know, I
Speaker 1: mean like we could we could totally walk. Whoa eleven
Speaker 1: block walks a little? I mean, why why not just
Speaker 1: get into Uber? Well, because again it's like I trying
Speaker 1: to save a little money. Plus it's a nice night.
Speaker 1: We could walk and it only takes like about maybe
Speaker 1: a half hour at the most for you know, forty
Speaker 1: five minutes. Those are big blocks or not. Well, no,
Speaker 1: I mean, and I get it. I wasn't trying to
Speaker 1: push anything or rather, but the date ended like on
Speaker 1: a really positive tip though, I mean like we hugged,
Speaker 1: we said goodbye, we totally talked about getting together again,
Speaker 1: and uh, and then we kind of left it out there.
Speaker 1: But if I ever been I've texted her a few
Speaker 1: times and I haven't heard from her. Okay, so a
Speaker 1: lot to process there. Yeah, yeah, and we need to
Speaker 1: think about this a little bit more too. We're gonna
Speaker 1: play a song, we'll come back, we'll call Robin for you,
Speaker 1: and we'll ask her what she thought about your picnic
Speaker 1: date in the park with the potato salad and no forks.
Speaker 1: All right, sounds great salad. Yeah, we'll do it. Right
Speaker 1: after this hold on it second, We're in the middle
Speaker 1: of a second day update with Spence, and he made
Speaker 1: a point of telling us about his relatively inexpensive picnic
Speaker 1: experience with Robin. He emphasized the inexpensive a lot where
Speaker 1: he brought reasonably priced wine, a ukulele convenience store sandwiches,
Speaker 1: and a tub of potato salad without any eating utensils whatsoever. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and right there, I'm thinking, if I'm out with this guy,
Speaker 1: there's no way I'm not calling him back. Are you thinking?
Speaker 1: For some reason, Robin is hesitant to accept love when
Speaker 1: it's being hand fed to her with a creamy mayonnaise
Speaker 1: soaked potato And all she had to do was going
Speaker 1: to forty five minute walk back to his play is
Speaker 1: so much to ask what's going on? So we're about
Speaker 1: to call and find out what's wrong with her, isn't
Speaker 1: that right, Spence? Yeah, that's what I want to know,
Speaker 1: what's wrong with her. You may get a little bit
Speaker 1: of true back when we call her. That may hurt
Speaker 1: your feelings a little bit. I just want you to
Speaker 1: prepare you for that. It is what it is. I
Speaker 1: don't know what could possibly hurt your feelings that she
Speaker 1: could say, because I guess I've just tried to help him, Like,
Speaker 1: you know, just set yourself up with a thick skin
Speaker 1: right now, and hopefully we find just a really normal
Speaker 1: reason she's calling you back. Normal. Okay, Well, I'm more
Speaker 1: optimistic than I think. You sound thoughtful, You sound frugal.
Speaker 1: How is he thoughtful? Well, okay, not completely thoughtful. I
Speaker 1: brought the UK. Yeah, okay, I think there's a lot
Speaker 1: of positive qualities you have and hopefully Robin can see them.
Speaker 1: But we're going to call her right now and see
Speaker 1: what she has to say. You ready, Yeah, of course,
Speaker 1: I'm ready. All right, man, We're gonna do this. Here
Speaker 1: we go. Hello. Hey, this is from Brooke and Jeffrey
Speaker 1: in the Morning. I'm looking for Robin. This is Robin. Hey, Robin,
Speaker 1: Robin h R. Wait where did you say? What's from? Again?
Speaker 1: From Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning, and we are
Speaker 1: calling you with a once in a lifetime opportunity here
Speaker 1: that I think is actually true. Yes, the opportunity I'm
Speaker 1: talking about is for you to be featured on a
Speaker 1: mid to low tier morning radio show, and as a bonus,
Speaker 1: we can't and won't pay you anything. You realize this
Speaker 1: sounds a scam. Does that sound fun to you? I
Speaker 1: guess amazing. Yeah, you do sound like a good time
Speaker 1: because you went out on a date with one of
Speaker 1: our listeners recently named Spence. Oh yeah I did. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So Spence has asked us to reach out to you
Speaker 1: on his behalf. Can you guys just tell him that
Speaker 1: I have a boyfriend or something? Yeah, unless you actually
Speaker 1: have one, then we can't really say that to him.
Speaker 1: But we'd like to tell him something because he told
Speaker 1: us a little bit about the date that you guys
Speaker 1: went on with the picnic in the park, but we'd
Speaker 1: like to hear what it was like from your perspective. Well,
Speaker 1: I thought he didn't want to spend a lot of
Speaker 1: money on the date first of all, and then I
Speaker 1: saw when he opened the food. I was like, I
Speaker 1: hope I'm not going to regret this one later on
Speaker 1: because it looked like he was from a convenience store.
Speaker 1: And can't confirm or deny that fact, buddy. Yeah, we
Speaker 1: talked to Spence about this and he feels bad about that.
Speaker 1: He hasn't regret he does. He understands that maybe he
Speaker 1: could have done a little bit more or made some
Speaker 1: different decisions. But at the end of the day he said,
Speaker 1: you guys still laughed about it. You know, I was
Speaker 1: kind of laughing with him when although like quirky and
Speaker 1: you know, all that stuff happened during the date and
Speaker 1: the ukulele when he brought it out, but something happened
Speaker 1: something else. I'm not even sure if he knows about it.
Speaker 1: Who oh, really, yeah, he definitely needs to know, don't
Speaker 1: you think. Well, I don't know. It's kind of embarrassing.
Speaker 1: He doesn't seem like a guy who gets embarrassed very easily.
Speaker 1: That's a good point. And part of being on our
Speaker 1: show here is that you agree, you're willing to hear.
Speaker 1: Maybe some things you you wouldn't necessarily want to hear.
Speaker 1: But he's ready to accept whatever it is that he
Speaker 1: messed up on. Okay, wow, what did you see? Well, okay,
Speaker 1: so this is what happened. Like at some point throughout
Speaker 1: the date, he gets a phone call. Okay, so, and like,
Speaker 1: I guess you didn't want to take it in front
Speaker 1: of me. So he goes around, like with a tree
Speaker 1: that was near us, and sorry, it's like a soundproof tree.
Speaker 1: We're pretty close with a tree well, yeah, it's kind
Speaker 1: of like rude to take a phone call during the date.
Speaker 1: So he was actually nice about it, like he's like, hey,
Speaker 1: you know, I really have to take this call. So
Speaker 1: I thought it was like a really important call, and
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, sure, yeah, okay, so what's the problem.
Speaker 1: But that what happened is that I heard him saying, hey,
Speaker 1: I don't think I'm gonna make it tonight because I
Speaker 1: have a good chance of getting laid. No. No, it
Speaker 1: sounded like he was talking to one of his buddies,
Speaker 1: you know. And after that he was like over for me,
Speaker 1: like absolutely a little presumptuous, totally, like what do you
Speaker 1: think I am like gas station potato salad girl or else?
Speaker 1: Give it up after you Exactly, that's exactly like we
Speaker 1: didn't know that that had happened on the date. Spence
Speaker 1: didn't tell us about that. I'm sure he didn't him. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And it's a great question to ask, because Spence is
Speaker 1: on the other line right now. Yeah, he's on the
Speaker 1: other side of this tree wanting to talk to you, Spence.
Speaker 1: We don't think you're getting laid Spence. What's going on? Man?
Speaker 1: I am so embarrassed, Robin, I was so embarrassed that
Speaker 1: you heard that that I thought that I was behind
Speaker 1: the tree. You couldn't hear what my conversation? Why would
Speaker 1: you even say it, Spence? Why would you even say that? Well,
Speaker 1: I mean I was kind of hoping, you know, I
Speaker 1: mean you were cute and we had a good time.
Speaker 1: I mean, there's nothing wrong with that, right, Like, there's
Speaker 1: nothing wrong with hoping it'll go further. Well, I don't
Speaker 1: think there's thing wrong with hoping, but like talking to
Speaker 1: your buddies about it, like, well, she's a few feet away. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: she didn't get one thing wrong about that though. I
Speaker 1: wasn't talking to one of my buddy Oh okay, I
Speaker 1: was actually talking to my mom. No, tell us that
Speaker 1: that doesn't better. I'm close to my mom, you know.
Speaker 1: Isn't that like a good trait that you want? Are
Speaker 1: you serious? You tell your mom, Hey, I think I'm
Speaker 1: gonna get it into night. I'm not gonna make it
Speaker 1: home for dinner. Not that explicit, but mom wants me
Speaker 1: to be happy. And well, your mom does sound kind
Speaker 1: of sweet, so at least she cares about you in
Speaker 1: your love life. What are you talking about? Jeff and
Speaker 1: a conversation you have with your mother. Everybody has a
Speaker 1: different relationship with their parents. You can't judge them for that.
Speaker 1: That's also true Robin. Are you judging him? I am
Speaker 1: judging him. Yeah, yeah, you're gonna do spence. I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: You're gonna take a forty five minute walk home and
Speaker 1: then you guys are gonna, yeah, get on. Is this
Speaker 1: a situation where you were going to be taking Robin
Speaker 1: home to your mom? Is that where you live? Well,
Speaker 1: she lives next door, but okay, I don't know. That
Speaker 1: wasn't I wasn't playing on coming over to mom. That's
Speaker 1: why I was talking to her on the phone because
Speaker 1: usually I go have dinner at my mom's house, and
Speaker 1: she wanted to know if I was on my way okay,
Speaker 1: so that she could look through the window and wave
Speaker 1: to you guys. This is weird then what I thought before,
Speaker 1: And it was already kind of weird. I don't understand.
Speaker 1: I want it's so weird. We had a nice time.
Speaker 1: I thought we connected. Well, it's weird to know that
Speaker 1: that was your plans with me right even throughout the day,
Speaker 1: Like it's just it's it's horrible, like I wouldn't even
Speaker 1: if you take me to a really expensive restaurant. If
Speaker 1: I hear you say that, it's just resoctable. How about this, Robin,
Speaker 1: if we hang out again and I won't tell my
Speaker 1: mom about anything of our relationship. Okay, if we can
Speaker 1: go out another time, mom doesn't have to know anything.
Speaker 1: That sounds like a big promise to him a man. Yeah,
Speaker 1: she's gonna be upset, but you know it's just what
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do. Yeah, it needs to get her own life.
Speaker 1: I know. Usually he high fives his mom after he's
Speaker 1: done with every date, So this is going to be
Speaker 1: a big deal. If you're willing to go out with
Speaker 1: him one more time, then we would pay for that date.
Speaker 1: But why do you think I called you guys? Wow,
Speaker 1: it's a smart man. You mother raised him, right? His
Speaker 1: mother did not raise him. Okay, that is the opposite. Okay,
Speaker 1: at least he's smart. But Robin, what do you say?
Speaker 1: I'm feel sorry for him and I want a spect
Speaker 1: for him, but I can't. I can't read with him.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Have we learned anything here, Spence? Yeah, good question.
Speaker 1: Well let me tell you this. Next time I do
Speaker 1: a pictic state, I'm bringing corn in a cob and
Speaker 1: forget the data salad. Could you can eat corn in
Speaker 1: a cop with your hands and there's a lesson. I
Speaker 1: don't get a girl home with you. Yeah, Mom raised
Speaker 1: him right, see brooking Jeffrey in the morning. You guys,
Speaker 1: the more I think about it, having a close relationship
Speaker 1: with your mom and telling your intimate details about what
Speaker 1: you hope to do on a date isn't necessarily like
Speaker 1: a bad thing to me. What are you talking about?
Speaker 1: You you hate talking to your memory, But I'm thinking
Speaker 1: for Spence, like, if he really is a forty five
Speaker 1: minute walk home, then mom can go buy the prophylactics
Speaker 1: and leave him in his mailbox by the time he
Speaker 1: gets And you know that mom wants grandbaby, she's not
Speaker 1: going to do that. I don't know about that, bro,
Speaker 1: But if anything, you sound jealous. Gross. You always say
Speaker 1: that you have the closest relationship with your mom and
Speaker 1: now that somebody beats you competition. We do not talk
Speaker 1: about that. You guys, just show each other. I feel
Speaker 1: like you've told us stories about your parents being intimate.
Speaker 1: I walked into the house and I put them and
Speaker 1: I was scarred for life, and I never came home
Speaker 1: un and outs ever ever ever, you still rated in
Speaker 1: that hallway for a good thirty seconds, dude, I was
Speaker 1: on the first flour. They were upstairs. That's scarier. There's
Speaker 1: a lot of details are telling. Lets you think about
Speaker 1: that for a little bit more. Meanwhile to seven, eight, five,
Speaker 1: nine two, if you're interested in going out with Spence,
Speaker 1: oh my god, gonna get in line behind Alexis. I
Speaker 1: don't know if Spence's mom would approve of alexistly, but
Speaker 1: if you ever want to get a second eight update
Speaker 1: emailed the show, we can call the person wasn't calling
Speaker 1: you that Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning,
