Speaker 1: The second date of day friends, we have another mystery
Speaker 1: on our hands. Those because normally when we do these calls,
Speaker 1: the other person has completely ghosted our listener and is
Speaker 1: avoiding any contact. That's not the case here. In this one.
Speaker 1: The guy has moved in with her and is paying
Speaker 1: her entire rent.
Speaker 2: I don't get it.
Speaker 1: They're not that close at all. But Meghan, Okay, Megan,
Speaker 1: our listener wants our help because the guy is asking
Speaker 1: her out. She's just not interested in the type of
Speaker 1: date that he has in mind. Interesting, so she wants
Speaker 1: our help. Meghan, Welcome to the show.
Speaker 3: Hi, guys, how are you good.
Speaker 4: I'm really curious about this conundrum you're in.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Well, so I met this guy online. We were chatting
Speaker 3: for several weeks.
Speaker 1: Okay, what's his name?
Speaker 3: His name is Finn. Finn Okay, yeah, I don't know
Speaker 3: any since so it was kind of drawn to him
Speaker 3: by a unique name, and then you know, we're getting
Speaker 3: to know each other over. Of course, there were several
Speaker 3: weeks chatting online, and one of the things he mentioned
Speaker 3: was that he had younger sisters and that he's protective
Speaker 3: over them. So I felt like, this is a guy
Speaker 3: that knows how to be respectful a woman.
Speaker 4: But he's an older brother, so it's still questionable. Yeah,
Speaker 4: I mean the younger brother always because he's been beaten
Speaker 4: down the older brother.
Speaker 2: It's really exactly or who or he could just be
Speaker 2: a jerk to us. I mean who knows?
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, but that's fine that maybe he had that,
Speaker 3: like more of that alpha big brother presence and I'm
Speaker 3: attracted to that. Okay, okay, Yeah, So anyways, for our
Speaker 3: first date, he actually invited me over to his house,
Speaker 3: which is not something typically you do with someone that
Speaker 3: you've met online.
Speaker 1: Well, not what beta men do, but alpha men.
Speaker 2: It's actually a den.
Speaker 4: I believe they call it a den. So you felt
Speaker 4: comfortable doing that? You felt okay with it?
Speaker 3: I did? I did so. I felt like I got
Speaker 3: to know him, you know, well enough online that I
Speaker 3: felt fairly comfortable going over. It was interesting, you know,
Speaker 3: he gave me an address to go meet him, and
Speaker 3: I'm driving into the neighborhood. It's a really beautiful neighborhood,
Speaker 3: pull up to the house, and I wasn't really sure, like,
Speaker 3: am I the right destination? A beautiful house.
Speaker 2: Knows a house, it's not an apartment?
Speaker 4: Huh.
Speaker 3: No, it was like a huge It was like, I
Speaker 3: guess it could be considered a mansion. WHOA, Okay, like
Speaker 3: it was a serious house. I mean it turned out
Speaker 3: that his family is very well off and the parents
Speaker 3: allowed him to rent the house from them.
Speaker 5: A dad's house. We use rent. I'm sure right, you know,
Speaker 5: meet me in.
Speaker 1: The West Way.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, if you get you forget to reap the benefits
Speaker 1: of that, then go for it.
Speaker 3: I mean it was awesome.
Speaker 2: So you're you're impressed walking up to the door.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean he had a whole game room and
Speaker 3: there's like a billiard's table, like a shovel board. We
Speaker 3: played all these things.
Speaker 4: Whoa.
Speaker 3: There was a bar, like a full stock bar with
Speaker 3: beer on tap in it.
Speaker 2: What was he like? Like, it's great that he's rich,
Speaker 2: But what was your vibe with him?
Speaker 1: No one honestly cares about the house. Did the living room?
Speaker 1: Do you take bards between all the rooms?
Speaker 2: You guys got along.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he casual. He wasn't like stuck up or snobby
Speaker 3: about it. He's like, oh, let me show you around,
Speaker 3: and that's making small talk.
Speaker 1: What was the most romantic part of the night. That's
Speaker 1: what Brooke wants to know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, sure, that.
Speaker 3: Would take dinner. He ordered in from a really really
Speaker 3: nice steakhouse.
Speaker 2: Oh wow, he ordered delivery. That's a cool steakhouse.
Speaker 5: Lobster tale.
Speaker 3: But he had set it up an aldead and he
Speaker 3: laid out the table and everything, and they had like
Speaker 3: a beautiful view. So that was like the most romantic
Speaker 3: part of it. That's better.
Speaker 2: It sounds lazy. He wouldn't take you to a steakhouse,
Speaker 2: but that's pretty nice. Like, and this man wants to
Speaker 2: go out with you again, why are you talking to us?
Speaker 2: This sounds amazing.
Speaker 3: Well, so after I left him, we had a great time.
Speaker 3: He invited me over again for a second date.
Speaker 2: But awesome.
Speaker 3: I have actually suggested us going out somewhere and like
Speaker 3: having fun and you know, maybe dancing a little bit.
Speaker 3: But he was really adamant about going back to his house.
Speaker 4: Is it like sending you red flags? And he's like
Speaker 4: trying to keep things secret or something.
Speaker 1: Is famous where he like literally is like I don't
Speaker 1: want to draw.
Speaker 2: I was getting married, but yeah, not famous enough.
Speaker 1: You don't want to hang out back at his house.
Speaker 3: I mean it's not that I've minded, but it just
Speaker 3: seems weird that he was I mean, just his tone.
Speaker 3: He was very specific about just staying in at his place.
Speaker 2: Not a good sign.
Speaker 1: Well, maybe he has a second parents house that he
Speaker 1: wants to show you. That's even better than that's true.
Speaker 2: Are you worried that it's like too good to be true?
Speaker 3: Why can't tall like hiding me? Or is he trying
Speaker 3: to just get my pants and he just wants to
Speaker 3: get there quicker? I have no idea.
Speaker 1: Well, Lexis will tell you that's not the worst thing
Speaker 1: in the world. Yeah, okay, So even though he is
Speaker 1: reaching out and asking for a date, you want a
Speaker 1: different type of date out in.
Speaker 3: Public, Yeah, I want like a social date.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And honestly, you just want to find out why
Speaker 4: why he's so adamant about the house.
Speaker 1: We have a mystery and we're putting on our Sherlock
Speaker 1: Holmes costumes as we speak.
Speaker 2: I'm doctor Watson, I'm.
Speaker 1: The whole detective attire is coming out, and then when
Speaker 1: we come back, we're going to try and get you
Speaker 1: your second date. Update. Right after this date, we're on
Speaker 1: the phone with one of our listeners named Meghan, who
Speaker 1: went out on an interesting first date with a guy
Speaker 1: named Finn and Meghan, there's something that you mentioned when
Speaker 1: you wrote your email to us that you didn't talk
Speaker 1: about in the first part because you said that you
Speaker 1: had your first daid at his place, which turned out
Speaker 1: to be this really big mansion that his parents owned.
Speaker 1: You got steak dinner ordered in. But in your email
Speaker 1: you said that Finn cut your steak for you.
Speaker 4: Is that?
Speaker 1: Is that a sweet thing or is that?
Speaker 5: I think it depends if you ask I hate cutting mind.
Speaker 5: That's probably because you order it super well done and
Speaker 5: you have to use a chainsaw to get into it.
Speaker 2: Why would you do?
Speaker 1: What was your read on that, Megan?
Speaker 3: I mean, at the moment, like, I thought it was
Speaker 3: kind of sneering because the food is actually delivered with
Speaker 3: plastic flatware, and he took out actual like steak dives,
Speaker 3: so I thought he was doing it to be like
Speaker 3: courteous and nice and serving it.
Speaker 2: Okay, he was like, here comes the airplane.
Speaker 1: I would love.
Speaker 2: Just sp wassed to be a giant man child. I
Speaker 2: really just did take care of But did your mind
Speaker 2: change about it? It sounds like you were gonna say, but
Speaker 2: I mean, like when.
Speaker 3: You say it that out loud, yeah, it sounds like
Speaker 3: kind of creepy. But in the moment, it wasn't that way.
Speaker 2: It felt fine in the in the time.
Speaker 1: In retrospect, right, it probably should have just handed the
Speaker 1: knife to you and let you cut it. Well, I
Speaker 1: think Alexai is right. You ask like some girls like
Speaker 1: Brook or like you, I can cut my own steak man.
Speaker 2: It's just I'm not a child.
Speaker 5: I don't want my whole meal.
Speaker 1: I feel like it could have been a chivalrous move.
Speaker 1: And let's call this chivalrous man and find out for sure.
Speaker 1: Because the weird part is he is asking her out.
Speaker 1: He's just not willing to go away from his house.
Speaker 1: He wants to keep it kind of secret's gonna be.
Speaker 2: This is gonna be a weird call.
Speaker 1: Can have a phone number for you, jeff You know
Speaker 1: what they I thought you just did? You go ahead
Speaker 1: and die the numbers, That's what I was saying. That
Speaker 1: was really sweeths down the numbers for me. And we're
Speaker 1: gonna call Finn and talk to him.
Speaker 3: Here we go.
Speaker 1: Hello, Hey, is this Finn?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 6: So speaking?
Speaker 2: Hey?
Speaker 1: So sorry? I hope this isn't a bad time. You're
Speaker 1: on the radio right now with Brook and Jeffrey in
Speaker 1: the morning.
Speaker 6: Excuse me, who is this We're a.
Speaker 1: Morning radio show. It's called Brooke and Jeffrey.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 1: We're doing a segment called a second Date Update. We're
Speaker 1: reaching out for one of our listeners who you went
Speaker 1: out with the other Well, I guess not didn't go
Speaker 1: out with, you stayed in with at your house.
Speaker 2: You guys had a date.
Speaker 1: Her name was Megan.
Speaker 6: Okay, I don't I don't understand. Why is she reaching
Speaker 6: out to you? Why are you calling me?
Speaker 1: Well, apparently there's a little bit of a miscommunication because
Speaker 1: you are asking her out on another date. You just
Speaker 1: don't want to go, like out out in public with her.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's just sending up some weird vibes. Maybe is
Speaker 4: there is there like a reason.
Speaker 6: No, it's just I'm just trying to, you know, get
Speaker 6: to know her more, that's all.
Speaker 2: Okay? And why your house? Every time we heard your
Speaker 2: house is beautiful?
Speaker 6: I mean yeah, dude, No, Yeah, it's great. It's a
Speaker 6: great Yeah, it's a great place. So you know what's
Speaker 6: the problem, right.
Speaker 1: Well, it just seems counterintuitive because normally people want to
Speaker 1: get to know someone before they invite him over, But
Speaker 1: you want to get to know her before you go
Speaker 1: out in public.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but we've stalked a long time online. We really
Speaker 6: got to know each other.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's good. She mentioned that, and she said she
Speaker 1: really likes you. But one of one of the theories
Speaker 1: that has been circulating around here is that maybe you're
Speaker 1: trying to hide her. That you don't hide her. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you don't want anybody to see that you're out with her.
Speaker 6: No, not at all.
Speaker 1: That's good to hear. Okay, so the post a picture
Speaker 1: of you two right now.
Speaker 6: Great, that's cute.
Speaker 2: You said she's great.
Speaker 6: Yes, absolutely, I mean she's beautiful.
Speaker 1: What's the problem. Why won't you take her out? Like
Speaker 1: that's what she would really like?
Speaker 6: Well, I mean, I are you like you sound sound
Speaker 6: like something is there?
Speaker 1: You know what's going on? You just don't want to tell.
Speaker 2: Are you married or something?
Speaker 3: Is that?
Speaker 1: What is?
Speaker 2: What is it?
Speaker 4: Then?
Speaker 2: Look at we're assuming the worst of you. Just if
Speaker 2: it's something that simple, just clear it up.
Speaker 6: Well it's not simple, but it's just stupid. It's stupid, And.
Speaker 1: I just that's great. We love stupid. Yeah, we're experts
Speaker 1: and stupid on this show. I'm so stupid, bro. You
Speaker 1: make it feel comfortable.
Speaker 6: Truth, Well, essentially, essentially, for the next six months. I'm
Speaker 6: not allowed to leave the house.
Speaker 1: Strict rules from your parents.
Speaker 4: Why is it why we think it's I'm under house arrest.
Speaker 3: That's what I figured.
Speaker 1: Okay, what did you do?
Speaker 2: Is it for something really bad or just like kind of.
Speaker 3: In jail?
Speaker 6: Right, it's stupid what you're doing. I don't even know
Speaker 6: I could say this, So.
Speaker 1: You take it more house arrest for just telling people
Speaker 1: what happened.
Speaker 6: Basically, me and my buddies we got together to pretend
Speaker 6: like we were the village people. I work in TV
Speaker 6: and film, and so I had a police uniform and
Speaker 6: my buddy has a construction worker uniform. We all got together.
Speaker 6: We pretended like we were the village people to play
Speaker 6: at this casino. So we show up and they're like,
Speaker 6: uh no, you're not the village people.
Speaker 2: Right, because the village people are super old.
Speaker 1: You guys. So let me see if I understand what
Speaker 1: you're saying. You and your friends impersonated a famous band
Speaker 1: to get money from a casino and you got caught.
Speaker 6: Well, I mean, yeah, so what is that?
Speaker 1: That's like defrauding a company?
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's it.
Speaker 6: It doesn't matter what the charges are really, because I'm
Speaker 6: on house arrest. And I can't go anywhere.
Speaker 4: Okay, she was gonna notice if you ever got intimate
Speaker 4: because that.
Speaker 2: Well I can't hide that one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, here's the good news. I know you didn't want
Speaker 1: to come out with the truth to Megan, but you
Speaker 1: kind of did. Yeah. I didn't tell you this before.
Speaker 1: She's on the other line listening.
Speaker 6: What Megan, how are you?
Speaker 3: I mean, I wasn't really expecting that is the reason
Speaker 3: why we can't go out. If I'm relieved that you're
Speaker 3: not married or have a girlfriend, or are you a
Speaker 3: better option?
Speaker 6: Well, you know, it's like, it's so stupid. I don't
Speaker 6: I don't want to that to be our first thing
Speaker 6: that we're talking about it. I'm just like, oh god,
Speaker 6: how do I do this?
Speaker 1: I mean, Megan, now you've heard the real reason that
Speaker 1: he's not calling you back because he's a secret Village
Speaker 1: People impersonator who defrauds casinos. Is that a turn off
Speaker 1: to you or is that a turn on?
Speaker 3: I mean, I guess, just going back to our first day,
Speaker 3: I don't know why you didn't just tell me.
Speaker 6: Well, it's not exactly something you lead off with. You know. Hey,
Speaker 6: by the way, you know, I'm a criminal. I'm currently
Speaker 6: under house arrest.
Speaker 3: I mean, like with the second date, like you're buying
Speaker 3: me back, right, And if I did go and we
Speaker 3: kept a charade up, I'd eventually find out.
Speaker 6: No, No, you wouldn't have found out.
Speaker 2: How would you not found out?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 6: I mean because you've never you would have never seen
Speaker 6: the bracelet?
Speaker 1: How I don't want to.
Speaker 2: He wears snow boots everywhere, maybe to put.
Speaker 1: His monitor on a different part of his body. I
Speaker 1: don't someplace you'd never fight.
Speaker 4: If you can't find that part of the body.
Speaker 1: Do you hear a beeping?
Speaker 3: Yeah? I mean I just think that it's weird that
Speaker 3: you think that I wouldn't find out or No, I
Speaker 3: think you should have just told me.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, I know. It's just not something I'm just
Speaker 6: embarrassed by. I don't want to. I don't want to
Speaker 6: tell you.
Speaker 1: Well that makes sense, though, Megan. You can see that
Speaker 1: he's finally at least it took a lot of prodding,
Speaker 1: but he did finally admit the truth to you. Megan,
Speaker 1: he's come clean. Would you like to go out on
Speaker 1: another date with him? We will offer you a gift
Speaker 1: card to his house.
Speaker 2: You know, I think we just have to get Postmas. Yeah, exactly, do.
Speaker 1: We or we can pay for the uber to and from.
Speaker 1: How many more months are you still on your house
Speaker 1: arrest there, Finn.
Speaker 6: I got three left?
Speaker 1: Okay, just three more months of dating at his house
Speaker 1: and then you can go out somewhere. Yeah, go back
Speaker 1: to that casino and do the village people thing together.
Speaker 6: Yeah, no, that's off limits. I can't come there for
Speaker 6: a few years.
Speaker 1: Okay, Well maybe you just do do it at a bar,
Speaker 1: at a senior home or something and work your way up.
Speaker 1: But we do that. We'd like to get you guys
Speaker 1: back together.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, it's not like a deal breaker for me.
Speaker 3: I mean, to be full honest, I've been binge watching
Speaker 3: Animal Kingdom, so I'm all about you know, criminal stuff
Speaker 3: right now.
Speaker 1: Oh all right, yeah, an.
Speaker 2: Zebras look great and black and white.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so is this a yes for another day?
Speaker 3: Yes? All right, we'll get you back over to Finn's
Speaker 3: place's parents.
Speaker 6: Awesome.
Speaker 1: I can't think of a worse endorsement for online dating.
Speaker 1: Then screw it. I'm not going to meet somebody else.
Speaker 1: I'm just going to keep seeing the guy who's under
Speaker 1: house arrests for the next three months. Rookie Jeffrey in
Speaker 1: the Morning. Man. You know, the more I think about it,
Speaker 1: the more I'm not sure if she should have said
Speaker 1: yes to another day that well. I wanted to be
Speaker 1: happy for them, but now I don't know.
Speaker 2: Okay, listen, I've dated a felon. But he was honest
Speaker 2: about it from the beginning. Like that guy was just
Speaker 2: he would have never told her. He even admitted that
Speaker 2: he almost left.
Speaker 1: There's no way she wouldn't have found it right. And
Speaker 1: the guy sounded like he was in his early thirties.
Speaker 1: So that's usually the time in your life when you
Speaker 1: stop making really stupid decisions. Wow, Like I get the
Speaker 1: idea of him and his buddies at a bar one
Speaker 1: night being like, oh, you know what would be really funny,
Speaker 1: let's all dress up like the village people and try
Speaker 1: and steal money from the casino. That's where it should
Speaker 1: have ended.
Speaker 2: I don't even get that pre.
Speaker 4: Like really bad Oceans eleven, because that's not how Brad
Speaker 4: Pitt and George Clooney did in Well.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a guy thing. You kind of joke
Speaker 1: around about stuff like that, but you don't actually buy
Speaker 1: the costumes and go to the casino and actually take
Speaker 1: the money he already had them.
Speaker 2: Oh, I mean to be fair.
Speaker 1: Oh maybe there was a legitimacy, but I remember. If
Speaker 1: you ever want to get a second date update, you
Speaker 1: can always reach out to us. We'll call that person
Speaker 1: who isn't calling you back.
Speaker 4: Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning,
