Speaker 1: I'll stop being emotional. And here's your brand new Second Date.
Speaker 3: Second Date updated, even though we already have one in
Speaker 3: our midst. I'm told we are not allowed to say
Speaker 3: the famous words tell me a joke, funny guy. Oh yeah,
Speaker 3: that's never fun, because on the phone we've got a
Speaker 3: stand up comedian. Hey, Jester, I don't say that to
Speaker 3: all the stand up comics that you meet.
Speaker 2: I've never uttered that sentence in my life.
Speaker 4: I get it.
Speaker 2: Help me a joke, funny.
Speaker 3: Guy, Yeah, tell me a joke. Funny guy. So it's like,
Speaker 3: you're a comedian, tell me a joke. I'm like, you
Speaker 3: tell me we're good somewhere.
Speaker 5: I'm not gonna be like, make me a sandwich.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I don't know how it was, but let's ask the
Speaker 3: actual stand up comic who's on the phone right now
Speaker 3: to get a little bit of help. His name is Darren. Darren,
Speaker 3: welcome the show.
Speaker 6: Hey, how's it going?
Speaker 2: Hey? Hey, you're hilarious.
Speaker 6: Did you like that one that was open?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 3: That was good.
Speaker 6: I liked it.
Speaker 2: I liked it a lot.
Speaker 3: Darren, How long have you been doing the stand up
Speaker 3: comedy thing?
Speaker 6: What?
Speaker 3: What's your goals?
Speaker 6: I've been doing stand up comedy for about ten years now,
Speaker 6: and my goal is just to make people laugh. I
Speaker 6: like to just let people just escape from their reality
Speaker 6: for a little while.
Speaker 3: It's the opposite of our show to bring people right
Speaker 3: back down to reality.
Speaker 5: Like minded brother, Good luck out there, man. Yeah, that's
Speaker 5: better than me.
Speaker 4: What am I saying?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Who are we calling today?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 3: You met a girl recently?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 6: I actually met her at a stand up show.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, there's always girls hanging out at the end
Speaker 1: of every comedy show waiting to get the comedian right,
Speaker 1: because there's nothing sexier than a guy or a person
Speaker 1: that can make you laugh.
Speaker 3: Was she a groopye, bro?
Speaker 6: I mean, a lot of these girls are kind of
Speaker 6: on the sleeezy side, but this was a classy girl though,
Speaker 6: So she was a rare breed.
Speaker 3: What's this classy girl's name?
Speaker 5: Aaron?
Speaker 2: Okay?
Speaker 3: And so Darren and Aaron okay.
Speaker 2: Oh that's funny. Think about that.
Speaker 3: That makes your celebrity nickname really easy. Then it's Darren.
Speaker 3: That's great.
Speaker 2: So what was it like.
Speaker 1: Did you strike up conversation first or did she approach you?
Speaker 6: Yeah? I had seen her around at a few different shows,
Speaker 6: but I hadn't really talk to her, and she saw
Speaker 6: me do my act and she came up to me
Speaker 6: and told me I was funny, and that was the
Speaker 6: first time I actually asked her out. But at that
Speaker 6: point she told me she doesn't date comics.
Speaker 2: Oh that's a smart, smart choice.
Speaker 5: It is a smart Yeah.
Speaker 3: How did you respond to that?
Speaker 1: Well?
Speaker 6: I told her that fine because I work construction.
Speaker 2: Okay, that was good laugh for sure.
Speaker 6: Yeah, she thought that was funny, and so I finally
Speaker 6: I get her to want to go out with me
Speaker 6: and I don't want to take her to a bar, though,
Speaker 6: you know, I want to take her somewhere nice.
Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, okay, because it's almost like just taking another
Speaker 5: comedy club.
Speaker 3: Comedy culture is a huge bar.
Speaker 2: I think a bar first date is great.
Speaker 3: But yeah, it's like taking it's like taking them to work. Yeah,
Speaker 3: you don't want to go to your own work?
Speaker 5: Okay, somewhere nice, would you do?
Speaker 6: So? I booked this city bus tour just like goes
Speaker 6: around the city.
Speaker 1: Okay, Oh, like the red buses the two stories, yeah.
Speaker 2: Or they have the ones that can go in the water.
Speaker 3: To Darren no offense. I thought you were saying that
Speaker 3: you were classing it up, and city bus tour doesn't
Speaker 3: come to mind when.
Speaker 2: I think it's got a up upper deck.
Speaker 3: It's a British bus.
Speaker 6: But this is a very classy that's.
Speaker 5: A double.
Speaker 2: Imagine.
Speaker 1: Why do I feel like one of your comedian friends
Speaker 1: is the tour guide?
Speaker 3: Yeah's corner.
Speaker 6: I didn't even know who was doing the joke, so
Speaker 6: it was just like some guy doing all kinds of
Speaker 6: corny stuff and yeah, impressed.
Speaker 1: That's kind of a funny date, like you get to
Speaker 1: see the whole city, you know, A lot of time
Speaker 1: to talk and things to talk about.
Speaker 3: How was it? How did it go?
Speaker 6: It went good. It was going good at first. You know,
Speaker 6: we're going to all these cool places, We're seeing all
Speaker 6: these different sites. Yeah, but then I thought it would
Speaker 6: be funny to get off the bus right before it
Speaker 6: left for the next stop.
Speaker 1: Wait what wait with her? You mean like, oh, we're
Speaker 1: gonna get off the bus and go get a drink.
Speaker 6: No, she was still on the bus.
Speaker 2: Were you laughing? As the bus pulled away with her,
Speaker 2: she says, she doesn't want a data comic. This is
Speaker 2: what's the reason.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's true. You think you're funny, and you're not
Speaker 5: being funny.
Speaker 6: No, it was kind of funny when I pretended to
Speaker 6: run after it.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, what did her face look like?
Speaker 3: Was pretending you smaller and smaller imagining it?
Speaker 6: She was definitely surprised, and she had to wait for me,
Speaker 6: like at the next stop, and she wasn't thrilled about that.
Speaker 2: Did you tell her it was a joke or did
Speaker 2: you say.
Speaker 6: Oh my god, No, I did tell her it was
Speaker 6: a joke. I thought it was funny, but I ended
Speaker 6: up having to apologize. I felt bad. She didn't laugh No,
Speaker 6: she did not think it was funny so funny.
Speaker 3: Usually when you explained the joke afterwards, they really burst
Speaker 3: into laughter.
Speaker 5: I just mentioned the thought of this gave her the ick.
Speaker 3: Do you think you gave her?
Speaker 2: No, not that watching a man chase a bus exactly.
Speaker 2: It was so sucific.
Speaker 6: I don't know if bad did it, but I don't
Speaker 6: usually run, so it could have.
Speaker 3: I've seen some dudes that are like, why are you
Speaker 3: flailing like that? Maybe the unattractive running the thing? Okay,
Speaker 3: alexis thing?
Speaker 1: Though, since it was a hop on, hop off bus,
Speaker 1: did you were you able to get it back on track,
Speaker 1: like go take her?
Speaker 2: I only did dinner or a drink.
Speaker 1: No, not really.
Speaker 6: We didn't end up doing anything afterwards. I was kind
Speaker 6: of thinking maybe we should have just gone to a bar.
Speaker 3: It's your home, it's your safe place.
Speaker 1: Yea.
Speaker 3: And also you're like, at least a second date, I'll
Speaker 3: do that. But here we are, kay. So that was
Speaker 3: how it ended.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean I liked her. She was nice, she
Speaker 6: was very smart. She was not like a lot of
Speaker 6: the other girls in the comedy scene.
Speaker 3: So how long has it been since you and Aaron
Speaker 3: hung out?
Speaker 6: It's been like three weeks now, have.
Speaker 1: You heard from her at all or seen her at
Speaker 1: the club, because it sounds like she was going to
Speaker 1: the comedy club.
Speaker 6: She hasn't been around lately, so I haven't seen her.
Speaker 3: Scared her right out of the entire comedy scene.
Speaker 5: Watching movies.
Speaker 3: Well, maybe we can cheer her up and hopefully get
Speaker 3: her to agree to another date with you when we
Speaker 3: come back and do your second date update right after
Speaker 3: this second date update. Quick recap if you're just joining us.
Speaker 3: We got Darren on the phone, who's a stand up
Speaker 3: comedian and convinced a girl at one of his shows
Speaker 3: to go out on a date with him.
Speaker 4: Yea, even though she said she doesn't date sleazy comics.
Speaker 4: Shen't say slezy, Well that's implied. Oh so Darren took
Speaker 4: her on a classy date on a public bus tour, Yeah,
Speaker 4: where they learned about museums and landmarks and bridges, all
Speaker 4: the sexy stuff.
Speaker 2: Technically it's a private company that runs those, Jeff the tours.
Speaker 3: Yes, well, just so you know, thank you for that
Speaker 3: foot in the city. Excuse me, but yeah, it was
Speaker 3: a hop on, hop off bus, so he thought it'd
Speaker 3: be funny to hop off without her, and now weeks later,
Speaker 3: he's still trying to recover and get himself another dates.
Speaker 3: So that's where we're at.
Speaker 1: If people miss the first part, he did meet back
Speaker 1: up with her that night, It's not like that was
Speaker 1: the last time he saw her. Yes, how do you
Speaker 1: feel it about that whole revisit of your date there,
Speaker 1: Darren Darren? Oh?
Speaker 6: Sorry, what's that?
Speaker 2: That revisit of your date there?
Speaker 1: Darren? Uh?
Speaker 6: You know, I thought it was okay. I mean the
Speaker 6: part where I got off the bus obviously wasn't the
Speaker 6: best idea, but overall I didn't think it was that okay.
Speaker 5: Listen, obviously you're a top tier comedian. The bust thing
Speaker 5: is hilarious. If this girl doesn't have a good sense
Speaker 5: of humor, do you really want to date anyways?
Speaker 1: Bro?
Speaker 6: That's true. That's a good point.
Speaker 3: I got your back.
Speaker 2: This might be the problem with the mindset.
Speaker 3: Of I think we're gonna watch a movie and Will
Speaker 3: Ferrell is gonna be chasing after like a city bus
Speaker 3: one day. We're all going to be like, oh, Darren
Speaker 3: Darren called this Kevin Hart movie city Bus Tour.
Speaker 2: Heartthrob. We think Will fare.
Speaker 5: That's a good point.
Speaker 1: We're hot.
Speaker 3: We're just let's just talk to your date, Aaron. We'll
Speaker 3: see if she answers and hopefully get an explanation for
Speaker 3: why she hasn't talked to you in three weeks.
Speaker 2: It's a long time.
Speaker 6: Goody, good luck.
Speaker 5: To you too.
Speaker 6: Man.
Speaker 2: Hey, you guys, it's break a leg.
Speaker 6: I mean they say break a leg because you hope
Speaker 6: to get cast.
Speaker 3: It's an acting thing, not a stand up comedy stage thing.
Speaker 5: If he's auditioning for sn L, then it's break a leg.
Speaker 3: All right, Well we're going to break a body part and.
Speaker 1: In here.
Speaker 3: Hello, Hey is this Aaron?
Speaker 6: Is this she?
Speaker 1: Hey?
Speaker 3: Aaron, You're on the radio right now with a show
Speaker 3: called Brook and Jeffrey in the Morning.
Speaker 2: Welcome to the show.
Speaker 6: What's what's going on?
Speaker 3: We're doing a segment called a second date Update. It's
Speaker 3: a very unfunny segment that we do because we heard
Speaker 3: you're not really into laughing and stuff a lot, but
Speaker 3: we're trying to help hook you up with let's what
Speaker 3: she said earlier.
Speaker 2: Wait what you love laughing and you go to lots
Speaker 2: of comedy shows, but.
Speaker 3: You don't date people that make you laugh?
Speaker 7: How did you guys get my number?
Speaker 3: We got it from Darren, who you went on a
Speaker 3: date with about three weeks.
Speaker 5: Ago, Darren the comedian.
Speaker 2: My god, Okay, yeah, was that like, oh my god, No,
Speaker 2: it didn't sound like it.
Speaker 7: I just it's kind of wild that he would give
Speaker 7: my number to a radio station, don't you think.
Speaker 2: Well, not really, because we do this segment like three
Speaker 2: times a week.
Speaker 3: This has been going on for decades at this point.
Speaker 3: But the reason that he gave us your number is
Speaker 3: because he had a really nice time with you when
Speaker 3: the two of you went out on that bus tour.
Speaker 2: Oh and he said nice things about like how class
Speaker 2: you were and smart, and.
Speaker 7: It sounds like he's probably told you a lot already.
Speaker 7: I don't know exactly how much she shared with you
Speaker 7: about our first date.
Speaker 3: Just at the highlights. It was a city bus tour.
Speaker 3: There was an awkward moment that we kind of mentioned
Speaker 3: before about him like hopping on and all the bus
Speaker 3: as like a joke, and as.
Speaker 1: You drove away, still on the bus, he thought that'd
Speaker 1: be funny, and he said that you didn't find that
Speaker 1: very humorous.
Speaker 6: Yeah, okay, good, so he did tell you that.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, like I like to laugh and everything,
Speaker 7: but just imagine being in my shoes watching your date
Speaker 7: kind of like sort of not pointing and laughing, but
Speaker 7: like being outside of a bus watching I mean I
Speaker 7: was horrified. Like I we drove together, so I was like,
Speaker 7: am I gonna now be stuck alone in the car
Speaker 7: when I get.
Speaker 2: Back to it in like panic mode?
Speaker 3: It's not funny to you.
Speaker 7: No, And we definitely don't have that much history to
Speaker 7: even be kind of pulling those types of situations.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but he did say that he apologized that night.
Speaker 6: I mean he did.
Speaker 7: He definitely did, and he caught up with me, So
Speaker 7: it ended up being fine. And like, I don't want
Speaker 7: to like hurt anybody's feelings. I just I think the
Speaker 7: best way to say it is like we just don't really.
Speaker 2: Vibe comedians still have feelings.
Speaker 3: Yeah, fine, so what.
Speaker 2: Are you gonna do?
Speaker 3: Look, I understand that sentiment. That's really nice of you
Speaker 3: to like keep his feelings in mind. But he's really confused.
Speaker 3: He's hoping to get a little bit of insight as
Speaker 3: to why you've, you know, not talked to him in
Speaker 3: the last three weeks, so that maybe he could find
Speaker 3: some closure.
Speaker 7: All right, Well, since he decided to call you, guys
Speaker 7: and ask for it. I mean, I'll tell you, but honestly,
Speaker 7: I think he's funnier on stage than he is in person.
Speaker 7: And that's it's only like on stage when it's scripted
Speaker 7: and they've had time to rehearse this bit that they're
Speaker 7: like funny, And maybe I just didn't get to see
Speaker 7: that side of him. So I don't want to say like,
Speaker 7: he's not a funny person. I'll just say he's not
Speaker 7: my kind of comedy.
Speaker 5: That's a great observation most people, you know, It's like
Speaker 5: these guys are practicer jokes for months.
Speaker 2: Sometimes it's still not fun to hear you hear you're
Speaker 2: not funny.
Speaker 6: That sucks.
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh, actually he does. Yeah he he kind of
Speaker 3: does know that now because the way that the segment works,
Speaker 3: Aaron is we have Darren listening on the other line.
Speaker 1: Oh oh, I bet he's just laughing and laughing right
Speaker 1: already set with this.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, fel Bro, is that Darren? Are you there?
Speaker 3: You're cracking up?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 6: Sorry, So what happened? What?
Speaker 3: Wait? What are you listening?
Speaker 2: You didn't hear her?
Speaker 6: Yeah, I was busy. I was doing something around the house.
Speaker 6: You guys are taking forever.
Speaker 3: Okay, it's kind of important. The whole reason you call
Speaker 3: this well so that you could hear her explanation.
Speaker 1: But another eighty D comedian because you already have one
Speaker 1: of those, Darren, talk to Aaron.
Speaker 7: Hey Darren, it sounds like maybe you didn't hear any
Speaker 7: of that, so that's.
Speaker 6: Probably for the best. But yeah, I was just wondering, like,
Speaker 6: you know what happened?
Speaker 2: Oh god, Okay, we've gotten over this.
Speaker 3: Already, all right, that's a good question. It's a very
Speaker 3: important question. Maybe if you tell the story a few
Speaker 3: more times, it'll sink in for him.
Speaker 7: But go ahead, erin, Daren. When you hopped off of
Speaker 7: the bus, the tour operator really put me at ease,
Speaker 7: like both with jokes, and he was also just really
Speaker 7: really nice. And I think it's probably it's probably fair
Speaker 7: for me to tell you that he asked for my
Speaker 7: phone number.
Speaker 2: Oh my god.
Speaker 6: The tour guide.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I just thought he was so funny and like,
Speaker 7: oh god, we have been out a couple of times
Speaker 7: and I just don't wait for anybody.
Speaker 6: Else, right, this is the tour guide from the bus
Speaker 6: with the pretzel jokes and the kazoo.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've got a laugh of just thinking about it.
Speaker 3: I heard what he says.
Speaker 6: That's you're going to go. That's he's not even a
Speaker 6: real comedian. I'm out there every day grinding holding my craft.
Speaker 6: This guy is a half? Are you kidding me?
Speaker 1: Wait?
Speaker 7: Well, Darren, Darren, while you're honing your craft working in
Speaker 7: a quiet room, he's out there actually performing every day.
Speaker 2: It's a lot of crowd work, doing.
Speaker 6: Observational humor for people on the sidewalk museum jokes.
Speaker 7: Do you know how hard it is to make history money?
Speaker 3: She's got his back too.
Speaker 2: Does that hurt worse? And her just not going out
Speaker 2: with you?
Speaker 6: Darren? Well, I mean she said she doesn't date comics.
Speaker 6: I guess she's sticking with that. This guy is definitely not.
Speaker 3: One, all right, he got a good one in there. Look, Darren,
Speaker 3: this is the point where normally I'd ask to send
Speaker 3: you two out on a date, and we'd offer to
Speaker 3: pay for it. But I think before I do that.
Speaker 3: Now that you've heard, well, I guess kind of heard.
Speaker 3: You missed most of it. But now that you know
Speaker 3: that the girl that you dated is hooking up with
Speaker 3: the corny tour guide from the bus, do you still
Speaker 3: want us to ask her out for you.
Speaker 6: Anybody who's into tour guide humor, I'm gonna have to
Speaker 6: probably pass on.
Speaker 2: I wanted like a joke off between the two of us,
Speaker 2: his jokes, and she clearly.
Speaker 6: Thinks this guy's better. Oh you know, if he doesn't
Speaker 6: have any jokes, we have a joke off.
Speaker 3: Maybe Darren quick hop off the phone and then back
Speaker 3: on like you did on the on the bus.
Speaker 1: We'll stay here try it.
Speaker 3: Are you gone?
Speaker 1: Well?
Speaker 2: I guess good luck Aaron with your new boyfriend.
Speaker 7: Oh no, I'm devastated it didn't work out with Darren.
Speaker 6: Not the only one with jokes, Rookie Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 3: Man, this was a big win for bus tour guides everywhere.
Speaker 2: Hey, yeah, I mean, dad, humor is on top again.
Speaker 3: Yeah, male and female bus tour guides, you really are
Speaker 3: natural comedians. You're out there educating the public about mid
Speaker 3: century architecture and making people laugh and stealing our dates
Speaker 3: right out from under us. So we salute you. Good
Speaker 3: for you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm impressed that you really defended Darren as long
Speaker 1: as you did, since he couldn't even follow the phone
Speaker 1: call to begin.
Speaker 4: Yeah, dude, I mean.
Speaker 3: Got him a great shot. Yeah, but at the same time,
Speaker 3: I can't blame him for tuning away from us. I've
Speaker 3: been there before for sure, mid conversation sometimes all right,
Speaker 3: I'm not even listening right now.
Speaker 2: You're the one talking most of the time.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I hate it. So I'm gonna stop talking
Speaker 3: and just encourage you to go online and find our podcast.
Speaker 3: You can find all of our second dates and all
Speaker 3: of our show content wherever you get yours at Brooke
Speaker 3: and Jeffrey, and we will help you in your dating life.
Speaker 3: We'll try it, you know, we'll be here. I don't
Speaker 3: know how much help will be, but email the show.
Speaker 3: We'll call that person who's not calling
Speaker 2: You back Brook and Jeffrey in the morning.
