Speaker 1: The second date of day. Weird coincidences, they happen all
Speaker 1: the time. Like I just found out the other day
Speaker 1: I'm sharing a birthday with the guy who does my
Speaker 1: oil changes. Is that just funny happenstance? Or is it
Speaker 1: the work of aliens?
Speaker 2: Is it even that big of a deal.
Speaker 1: It's just it's just too bizarre to just happen all
Speaker 1: by itself. And one of our listeners had a weird
Speaker 1: coincidence happened to him on his first date. We're aliens
Speaker 1: behind it. We're gonna find out. Eric, welcome to the show.
Speaker 3: Thanks for having me.
Speaker 2: Guys, all right, from your laughter, I can tell the
Speaker 2: alien thing.
Speaker 1: Was it your idea or we're aliens behind that intro?
Speaker 1: You may never know. Sorry, it's a weird you out, Eric,
Speaker 1: don't carry you.
Speaker 3: Oh no, no problem. But I get it. Aliens exists.
Speaker 1: Okay, he's very confident about that. But we're gonna shift
Speaker 1: from the aliens and focus on your day. Unless you
Speaker 1: went out with an alien, who'd you go out with?
Speaker 3: I went out with a human.
Speaker 2: Woman, okay, or so she says.
Speaker 3: Her name was Carrie actually, and we just met online.
Speaker 2: Yeah. What was special about her?
Speaker 3: Oh? Well, yeah, we chatted for a few days. I
Speaker 3: suggested drinks, and it was her response that was a
Speaker 3: little like weird to it, Like the night that I suggested.
Speaker 3: She said she had something going on, but she was like,
Speaker 3: okay with blowing it off to come hang out with me.
Speaker 3: Oh and she told you that, Yeah, she said it
Speaker 3: exactly like that. And you know, I was like, okay,
Speaker 3: as long as it's not important or anything.
Speaker 2: See, I would think that's risky. It feels like you're
Speaker 2: making yourself too available, like you're too desperate. I would
Speaker 2: be worried, like what kind of message that said? But
Speaker 2: you liked it?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought. I just look at us, her being eager,
Speaker 3: and that made me excited to go hang out with her.
Speaker 1: Okay, So what did you do for your meetup? Exactly?
Speaker 3: We met at a bar, okay, and when we got there,
Speaker 3: like we just connected. You know. I thought she was
Speaker 3: super cute, funny, and it was refreshingness. He's a nice,
Speaker 3: normal person.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, I mean the standards low. Yeah, what do
Speaker 2: you think she thought of you?
Speaker 3: I thought it was great, you know, like we were
Speaker 3: talking for twenty thirty minutes and she was laughing at things,
Speaker 3: and I didn't even think were funny, So I don't know,
Speaker 3: it felt to be like she was also having a
Speaker 3: good time.
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, it got kind of.
Speaker 3: Weird in the conversation though. We started talking about families,
Speaker 3: and I don't know, this is a weird coincidence came
Speaker 3: up like she had mentioned that she had this cousin
Speaker 3: and I knew the cousin that she was talking about.
Speaker 1: Oh really, Oh my god, it's too serendipitous to just
Speaker 1: happen by accident. Did they really know each other from
Speaker 1: a past or was it Aliens?
Speaker 2: She knows his cousin.
Speaker 1: At least that's what he says.
Speaker 2: Oh wait, you know her cousin.
Speaker 3: Sorry, yes, yes, I know her cousin. You know, we
Speaker 3: just knew each other in college. Actually I haven't seen
Speaker 3: him by the seven or eight years, but we were
Speaker 3: good buddies at the time.
Speaker 2: That's cool. Nice, nice, It's really cool, And I mean
Speaker 2: it makes for an easy like, oh my god, I'd
Speaker 2: love to see him. We should all go hang out.
Speaker 3: Oh well, she told me that actually the plans that
Speaker 3: she canceled was a family barbecue and that her cousin
Speaker 3: was gonna be there, and so we should go check
Speaker 3: it out. Now, whoa.
Speaker 1: Back?
Speaker 2: Did you go? Then you would meet the entire family
Speaker 2: on the first date.
Speaker 3: And that's what I kind of told her. I was like,
Speaker 3: isn't that weird for a first date, you know? And
Speaker 3: she said, no, don't worry about it. It'd be funny, funny. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 3: And so we went left the bar.
Speaker 1: Did what was that? Like? Is that awkward?
Speaker 3: Well? I mean I had a cool time. You know.
Speaker 3: We ended up chatting with the cousin. I ended up
Speaker 3: chatting with her little brother, who's like in high school now,
Speaker 3: so we talked a lot about classes.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's great.
Speaker 3: And the family was like friendly, they're polite to me,
Speaker 3: so like I thought that the whole thing was actually
Speaker 3: kind of cool.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean this all sounds so positive.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Did something go wrong?
Speaker 3: So the way it ended because we had drove there together,
Speaker 3: but she was with her family, you know. I gave
Speaker 3: her a hug, said goodbye when it was time for
Speaker 3: me to like start hanging on out there, and she
Speaker 3: decided to you know, hang back and be with her family,
Speaker 3: which makes sense.
Speaker 2: Yeah, totally.
Speaker 3: And we talked about seeing each other again, and I
Speaker 3: thought like, Okay, this is going to be really cool
Speaker 3: and everything. But she's actually been sort of ghosting me.
Speaker 2: Since then, sort of she responded at all.
Speaker 3: No, not even a single box. I've been trying to
Speaker 3: reach out to her, but I can't even think of
Speaker 3: what it could be.
Speaker 2: You didn't have any strange interactions with any other family
Speaker 2: members of hers, because I mean, she could have gotten
Speaker 2: a report like ooh that guy stay clear.
Speaker 3: No. No, And I met some people, but mostly I
Speaker 3: just kept talking to the little brother and we talked
Speaker 3: mostly about school.
Speaker 2: Okay, that sounds healthy.
Speaker 1: And are there any like large gaps of time that
Speaker 1: go unaccounted for the barbecue? Was it daytime when you
Speaker 1: got there and then nighttime all of a sudden when
Speaker 1: you left, Probably because barbecues later in the day a
Speaker 1: large Now she's ghosting me, 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 update.
Speaker 2: You're in the middle of a second date update update,
Speaker 2: and we're gonna find out how the couple is doing
Speaker 2: right after you here Part two, let's look at the facts.
Speaker 1: Eric went on a first date with a woman named
Speaker 1: Carrie Hey check. Carrie has a cousin who just happened
Speaker 1: to attend the same college as Eric. Huh, 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. Or I'm
Speaker 1: sure our listener Eric is seeing the exact same signs
Speaker 1: as I am, aren't you, Eric?
Speaker 3: I just I just don't even know what's going on.
Speaker 1: Okay, you and I should meet together and talk about
Speaker 1: other theories that I have at a library soon. But
Speaker 1: first we're gonna call Carrie for you and ask her
Speaker 1: to explain the unexplainable.
Speaker 3: Thank you, thank you. Yeah, I don't know what was
Speaker 3: going on?
Speaker 2: Can I ask you? Eric? Because I mean, good theory, Jeff,
Speaker 2: But what do you think?
Speaker 3: I don't know. I think this is a reach. But like,
Speaker 3: maybe there's a world where I spent too much time
Speaker 3: apart from her barbecue, like it was a date, you.
Speaker 1: Know, some sort of alternate dimension.
Speaker 3: Differently, I know.
Speaker 2: You mean that she was jealous of you, vibing with
Speaker 2: her little bro.
Speaker 3: Or just not giving her enough attention on a date
Speaker 3: that we're supposed to be going that.
Speaker 1: You know, we didn't think of that. I'm still leaning
Speaker 1: towards aliens are behind indeed, 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 going
Speaker 1: to pick up this device and try and reach out
Speaker 1: to carry Let's do it.
Speaker 4: Hello.
Speaker 1: Hey, is this Carrie? Yes, what's up. We're a morning
Speaker 1: radio show called Brook 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.
Speaker 4: That's different for you, not for us.
Speaker 2: We do it. I mean honestly, we do it every day.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's like littally thousands of these calls, but you're
Speaker 1: just one of the thousands, and we would like to
Speaker 1: put you back in touch with a guy that you
Speaker 1: went on a date with recently named Eric.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I don't like him who.
Speaker 2: You brought him to her? You brought him to your
Speaker 2: family's barbecue.
Speaker 3: That's weird.
Speaker 4: That he would even tell you that.
Speaker 2: Well, I just I mean it in like you liked
Speaker 2: him at one point.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because here's how this works. We talked to Eric
Speaker 1: before we called you, and we heard about your guys's
Speaker 1: first date, about getting drinks and the strange coincidence that
Speaker 1: he knew one of your cousins.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so did you like him then during all that part?
Speaker 4: I mean I did. I actually thought everything went great
Speaker 4: at the barbecue and I was going to hang out
Speaker 4: with him again.
Speaker 1: What happened between Everything's going great and we're having a
Speaker 1: good time together at the barbecue too? I hate him?
Speaker 3: Okay, she didn't.
Speaker 2: Say I hate you.
Speaker 4: I said I don't like him.
Speaker 1: That's how it. Okay, Well what changed?
Speaker 4: Well, okay, Well, everybody in my family liked him a lot,
Speaker 4: but my younger brother liked him the most. He's a
Speaker 4: freshman in high school, and we.
Speaker 2: Heard Eric's a teacher, so it seems like it was
Speaker 2: easy for him to, you know, find subjects to connect
Speaker 2: with your little brother on. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Maybe a little too easy, because I actually found out
Speaker 4: the reason you liked him the most is apparently Eric
Speaker 4: has agreed to write an essay for my brother in
Speaker 4: his English class because he's a teacher.
Speaker 1: What a good guy, smart move.
Speaker 2: Is that what your little brother said, because I highly
Speaker 2: doubt a teacher would do that, Like maybe your little
Speaker 2: brother got confused.
Speaker 4: I don't know how he got confused, because he was
Speaker 4: so excited. He's like, I only have to pay him
Speaker 4: fifty bucks for it, his.
Speaker 1: Money willing to help your brother with his academics. And
Speaker 1: that's a term of.
Speaker 2: Teachers that poorly that they need to get fifty bucks
Speaker 2: from a high school kid exactly.
Speaker 4: And it was like, what is this guy doing? Like
Speaker 4: I didn't okay that he didn't even tell me about
Speaker 4: that conversation. I'm pretty sure that's against the rule.
Speaker 2: Can you believe your brother no matter what? Like, God,
Speaker 2: that's just wild to me.
Speaker 1: We didn't hear why would he make that up? We
Speaker 1: didn't hear any of that from Eric, And I feel
Speaker 1: like we don't know the whole story here. We should
Speaker 1: probably get the rest of it from Eric himself, who's
Speaker 1: actually on the other line right now.
Speaker 2: No way, Oh yeah, oh, he needs to be called out.
Speaker 2: If that's the case, Carrie, that's a.
Speaker 1: Weird coincidence that he was just there on the other line.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Carrie, Carrie, I hear you, and I'm not saying
Speaker 3: that you're wrong, but I'm shocked if you're saying what
Speaker 3: you're saying right now, you.
Speaker 4: Didn't offer to do my brothers English let paper. Is
Speaker 4: that what you're saying you did? He's lying.
Speaker 3: I'm talking to your brother at the party. He was
Speaker 3: just complaining on about how no one in the family's
Speaker 3: helping him, how stressful the class is, and how much
Speaker 3: you appreciate it being to talk to me, you know,
Speaker 3: being a teacher. I only took the fifty bucks because
Speaker 3: he insisted of being nice, and I didn't even take anybody.
Speaker 3: He just sent me a random like notice on Benmo saying, hey,
Speaker 3: I appreciate the conversation on what's coming up?
Speaker 1: All right, Eric, Eric, I think maybe should take a
Speaker 1: breath because you're sounding a little bit defensive and nervous here.
Speaker 1: You're talking really really fast.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just had a really nice time, Okay.
Speaker 4: I supposed to believe that you didn't ask for the
Speaker 4: fifty bucks. Did you send it back to him, and
Speaker 4: did you offer to write this paper anyway or did
Speaker 4: you just offer to help him, like, like, why would
Speaker 4: you think you're going to write the paper? Because even
Speaker 4: if you don't get paid for that, that's not ethical, right.
Speaker 3: Yes, exactly, I only offered to give him some tutoring.
Speaker 3: I don't know how he phrased it to you. It
Speaker 3: sounds like he was saying, like someone's gonna do his
Speaker 3: work for him, but I'm a teacher. I would never
Speaker 3: do something like that. He needs to learn, you know,
Speaker 3: you know, because no one in the family was supporting him.
Speaker 1: It's funny that that none of this came up when
Speaker 1: we talked to you the first time.
Speaker 3: Eric, I didn't even seem like a big deal to me.
Speaker 3: I forgot it almost.
Speaker 2: I want to believe you. I want to believe you
Speaker 2: the tutoring part. But it's just like the fifty bucks
Speaker 2: in Venmo makes it feel different. Yeah, it sounds like
Speaker 2: it's not the first time this kid's cheated. Also, i'd
Speaker 2: like to say.
Speaker 1: Said, without being.
Speaker 2: Asked, he's like, I know how this works.
Speaker 3: Yeah. It seemed to me like he didn't want anyone
Speaker 3: else to know. And then I was just doing him
Speaker 3: a favor, you know, and like I really wanted to
Speaker 3: impress obviously you on our date, and so I said, like, okay,
Speaker 3: no big deal. Normally I charged two hundred dollars for tutoring.
Speaker 2: I actually believe him now, Yeah, I want to trust it.
Speaker 2: I thought it got it for a minut I'm gonna
Speaker 2: trust him over a seventeen year old Brooks.
Speaker 1: I think Brook's just trying to get the family discount
Speaker 1: for her key. I mean, it doesn't really matter what
Speaker 1: we think about it. It really just comes down to Carrie.
Speaker 1: I think that you should go out with Eric one
Speaker 1: more time.
Speaker 2: Give him the benefit of the doubt, and.
Speaker 1: We would pay to send you on another date if
Speaker 1: you're up for it.
Speaker 4: I might be up for it. But Eric, I feel
Speaker 4: like you need to do something like apologize to my parents,
Speaker 4: or like give my brother the money back, clear the
Speaker 4: air or something before cloud again.
Speaker 3: Carrie, I had a really good time with you. I'm
Speaker 3: excited to see you again. Done and done. I'll get
Speaker 3: that money right back.
Speaker 4: Oh my good guy, Carrie.
Speaker 2: All right, my little brother is going to be a sister.
Speaker 1: You don't always connect all the dots, but finally we
Speaker 1: have the answers. It wasn't Aliens, it was Benmo. Stay
Speaker 1: tuned for the next Unsolved Mysteries. It's well solved mysteries
Speaker 1: on Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 2: I like that Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 1: It's been months since we got Eric and Carrie to
Speaker 1: go out again.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I thought they were so cute. I'm
Speaker 2: really hoping for a good update.
Speaker 1: Well, since then, the numbers seem to have dwindled down
Speaker 1: to one because we just have Eric on the phone
Speaker 1: for an update. Update Eric, what's going on?
Speaker 3: Man?
Speaker 1: Is carry there in the other room? Just are you
Speaker 1: guys sharing one phone?
Speaker 3: Now? Very funny? And now now Carrie's not here with me?
Speaker 2: What happened?
Speaker 3: Yeah? I mean things with you. Me and Carrie were
Speaker 3: like super cool, like great for me for a few months.
Speaker 2: Oh so you guys dated for a few months.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it was like nice, you know, like we
Speaker 3: were making dinners together, we were meeting each other's friend.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're married. Now what happened?
Speaker 3: I mean, her friends, I feel like just got into
Speaker 3: her head. They were always acting like I was sketchy
Speaker 3: for helping her brother with her writing assignment.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, he never got help in school.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the friends blessing goes a long way. What kind
Speaker 1: of woman listens to her friends?
Speaker 2: That sucks? Man, I'm sorry, Thank you?
Speaker 3: I mean I've tried to reach out to her a
Speaker 3: couple of different ways and haven't gotten anything.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, but it sounds like you're still trying
Speaker 1: to get her back.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I mean we were good together and I just wish
Speaker 3: I could explain it to her.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: No, feel like you're asking us for another second date updates?
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, I mean, if there's any way I could
Speaker 3: make an announcement over the airwaves, like everybody cheats now, I.
Speaker 2: Thought you I thought you tutored. Are you a teacher?
Speaker 3: Yeah? I mean, like what she was calling and cheating
Speaker 3: like that's just helping, you know a little writing. I
Speaker 3: was writing as so.
Speaker 2: You did do it for him? There were done?
Speaker 1: Get us up? Yeah, we'll hook you up, all right. Well,
Speaker 1: maybe she was honest good Man brooking Jeffrey in the morning.
