Speaker 1: in the Mornings. Second Date Update. I've been on a
Speaker 1: lot of first dates where during the entire date I
Speaker 1: have to remind myself what her name is. But the
Speaker 1: guy on the phone for today's second date update went
Speaker 1: above and beyond what he needed to do to make
Speaker 1: sure that he knew his date, maybe even a little
Speaker 1: too well. We'll find out why in just a second,
Speaker 1: but first let's talk to him. His name is Ian Ian.
Speaker 1: How are you. I'm doing quite well. Thank you? How
Speaker 1: are you? I'm not too bad? Thank you for doing
Speaker 1: the second date update today. So I read your email
Speaker 1: and the amount of effort that you put in to
Speaker 1: this first date is very impressive to me. Well, thank you.
Speaker 1: All right, before we get to what happened, let's talk
Speaker 1: about your date first. What's her name? Her name is
Speaker 1: Ali Ali? And where did you meet Ali? We met
Speaker 1: at a local bar. Um just at a local bar. Okay, okay,
Speaker 1: how how did you meet her? At a local bar.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, sorry, I probably should have said that as well. So, yeah,
Speaker 1: I was putting songs into the jukebox at the at
Speaker 1: the bar, and I had a few credits left over,
Speaker 1: but there were no more songs that I would have
Speaker 1: to hear, so I asked the nearby pretty girl if
Speaker 1: she had any song requests that I could play for her,
Speaker 1: and then we just kind of struck up a conversation
Speaker 1: from there. Do you actually played her song? Oh? Of course, yes,
Speaker 1: Oh I would. I would have rather been like, that's
Speaker 1: a terrible suggestion, whatever, but hey, what's your name? Love?
Speaker 1: That's your first initial thought in minus Oh, if they
Speaker 1: get married, that will be their first dance song. Well, no,
Speaker 1: probably not. She had to play pour some Sugar on Me. Oh,
Speaker 1: that would be an amazing first dance. So we exchange
Speaker 1: numbers names obviously as well, and she said it would
Speaker 1: be okay if I asked her out some time. So
Speaker 1: what did you guys actually do when you went out
Speaker 1: on a date. Well, I had put together a picnic
Speaker 1: spread with just a few snacks, and I had made
Speaker 1: a little surprise for her. And I'm glad that we've
Speaker 1: gotten to this part because that's the thing that I
Speaker 1: read in your email that was very interesting to me.
Speaker 1: If this is the surprise you're talking about, I feel
Speaker 1: like he knows what women want, picnics with wine and
Speaker 1: food and then even a thoughtful gift or whatever your
Speaker 1: talking into your the surprise. And then we can see
Speaker 1: if you think this is romantic, because honestly, I don't know.
Speaker 1: It could be romantic or it could be a little strange.
Speaker 1: But tell us what you did. I actually think it's
Speaker 1: it's it's very romantic. It's it's certainly it's certainly unique.
Speaker 1: I think it'll stick in her mind. Um, so that's good. Okay,
Speaker 1: that's a very clinical description of your surprise. Well, I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, I know what I'm bringing to the table
Speaker 1: as it were. All right, all right, I like that.
Speaker 1: And what was a surprise. Well, so I went on
Speaker 1: the computer. I did a lot of research, and I
Speaker 1: put together and printed out a rather extensive family tree,
Speaker 1: a family tree whose family tree for her, for for
Speaker 1: Alice and for ali wait of her family. Yes, I'm
Speaker 1: it's remarkably easy to find. Actually, if you can find
Speaker 1: their Facebook page, if they have marked any of their relatives,
Speaker 1: their mom or a sister or anything. It's pretty easy
Speaker 1: to figure out the whole timeline. I went back for Alice,
Speaker 1: and I went back. I believe it was six or
Speaker 1: seven generations. Wow, very interesting stuff. Did she seem interested
Speaker 1: in it? She seemed very interested in it. Yeah, it
Speaker 1: seemed like she thought it was very cool. Are you sure?
Speaker 1: I mean, a girl you met at a bar shows
Speaker 1: up to a park with basically a complete stranger and
Speaker 1: he has the whole history of her entire bloodline. That's weird, man.
Speaker 1: I mean, she did seem a little bit taken aback
Speaker 1: at first, but yeah, well, once I started pointing out
Speaker 1: some of the more interesting features of her timeline, she
Speaker 1: seemed to get more into it. She had a pretty
Speaker 1: famous great great I think three great. I think four
Speaker 1: generations backs are great great? Did you just it sounds
Speaker 1: like you just pulled up the family tree in front
Speaker 1: of you. Did you just, Yeah, I've got it pulled
Speaker 1: up right now. It's just on my computer. Oh okay,
Speaker 1: that is so. Who is the great grandfather? You didn't
Speaker 1: get to that point. Oh he was. He was a
Speaker 1: prospector at a goldmine, one of the first out in California. Wow, dude,
Speaker 1: that's pretty cool. Cool, cool, guys, there's one cool thing
Speaker 1: about what this guy did. Interesting. No, it's like stocking
Speaker 1: on a whole nother level stalker. It's not as if
Speaker 1: I'm out in a tree in front of her apartment.
Speaker 1: I mean, one of the things we talked about when
Speaker 1: we were at the bar was that I'm very into genealogy.
Speaker 1: I have a subscription to ancestry dot. You know, this
Speaker 1: is the hobby of mine. And she thought it was cool.
Speaker 1: So I thought I would I would make her a gift.
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know where the stalker is
Speaker 1: coming in. So it's not like you did the family
Speaker 1: tree thing completely out of the blue. She knew that
Speaker 1: this was a passion of yours. Yes, yes, absolutely, Okay, No, No,
Speaker 1: if you say your hobby is photography and you show
Speaker 1: up with pictures of her, that's strange. Okay. If you
Speaker 1: would talked to her and said, hey, would you want
Speaker 1: me to research your family and she said yes, that's
Speaker 1: that's a whole different story, well then that kind of
Speaker 1: takes away the surprise aspect that, yes, it does, it
Speaker 1: would be I think it would be at least interesting.
Speaker 1: So did you spend the whole time going over her family?
Speaker 1: Tree or did you do other things? The tree was
Speaker 1: the largest part of the conversation. It was sitting right there,
Speaker 1: and frankly, I spent a lot of time on it
Speaker 1: and knew learned a lot of things about her history
Speaker 1: that I wanted to share with her. You took so
Speaker 1: many chances on that, like she could have a family
Speaker 1: that she hates or an uncle that's imprisoned. And for
Speaker 1: all you know, I'm actually ninety nine point nine percent
Speaker 1: certain she does not have an uncle in prison. I
Speaker 1: would know. I went through her history. That's true. You
Speaker 1: did the research and you know all about her. How
Speaker 1: did the date end? What was the last thing you
Speaker 1: guys said to each other? So I drove her home
Speaker 1: and as we pulled up to her place, she said
Speaker 1: that was the most unique first date she'd ever been on.
Speaker 1: Thank you. I said I would call her, and she
Speaker 1: said she was looking forward to it. And then she
Speaker 1: said that she was going to put the family tree
Speaker 1: up on her wall, maybe in a nice frame. Wow,
Speaker 1: all right, So it sounds like she did like it.
Speaker 1: Then if she wants to put it on her wall, well,
Speaker 1: I don't know why she would say she did like
Speaker 1: it so many times, that's true. Maybe I'm just totally
Speaker 1: different than she is. Well, we'll play a song, come back,
Speaker 1: call her and get your second date update. Okay, okay,
Speaker 1: all right, hold on, don't go anywhere brooking jubil in
Speaker 1: the morning. Second date update. Welcome back to the second
Speaker 1: date update. If you're wondering why I'm starting it with
Speaker 1: Sister Sledge, we are family. That's because of what Ian
Speaker 1: did for his first date with a girl named Ali.
Speaker 1: It's probably one of the most creative things I've ever
Speaker 1: heard anybody do for a first date. Definitely the most
Speaker 1: work I've heard a lot of people put into a
Speaker 1: first date. He actually made her a family tree. You
Speaker 1: got her name from Facebook, found from her family members
Speaker 1: went online. I guess he's a big enthusiast of this
Speaker 1: kind of thing. He does it for all his friends
Speaker 1: and family and stuff like that for Christmas and gifts,
Speaker 1: and he decided he was going to make her a gift,
Speaker 1: a family tree for their first date. He thinks that
Speaker 1: she was impressed by it and really liked it. But
Speaker 1: now she's not calling him back. So we're gonna see
Speaker 1: if we can get her on the phone and find
Speaker 1: out why. Ian, is that one of your favorite songs
Speaker 1: by the way. Yeah, it's fine. Yeah, I just want
Speaker 1: to apologize. Okay, I think I went in a little
Speaker 1: bit hard on you on your surprise. That's okay. You
Speaker 1: you you called me a stalker, but that's I mean
Speaker 1: my reaction. Had I received an information about myself from
Speaker 1: someone I didn't know, but maybe she liked it, but
Speaker 1: also be prepared that she didn't. Okay, well, I mean
Speaker 1: again I am. I am hoping she did like it,
Speaker 1: but she she is not calling me back, so you
Speaker 1: might be onto something there. Well we'll figure out why
Speaker 1: right now. Okay, I'm gonna dial her phone number. Thank you,
Speaker 1: You're welcome. Here we go. Hello, Hi, it was looking
Speaker 1: for Ali. This is hey Ali. How are you? My
Speaker 1: name is Jebil from brook and Jewil in the Morning. Okay,
Speaker 1: do you know what that is? Uh? I assume some
Speaker 1: sort of business. I guess it is kind of a business.
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's actually a radio show. Okay, Well,
Speaker 1: so what is this about. This is about a guy
Speaker 1: that you know. He's a friend of the show, and
Speaker 1: he actually emailed us hoping that we could get you
Speaker 1: on the phone because you're not calling him back after
Speaker 1: your first date Are you serious? Yeah, his name is Ian,
Speaker 1: So Ian emailed us saying that he thought he had
Speaker 1: a wonderful first date with you, but ever since then,
Speaker 1: he's tried to get a hold of you, and you're
Speaker 1: not responding to his text messages or phone calls. So
Speaker 1: he thought maybe we could get you on the phone
Speaker 1: and find out if something went wrong on your date.
Speaker 1: That's really weird. I know, it's a segment we do
Speaker 1: on our show all the time. So he emailed us,
Speaker 1: and now I'm asking you the question, did you like
Speaker 1: your date with Ian? It was? It was interesting. I
Speaker 1: feel that ative to use. What did you want me
Speaker 1: to tell you? I mean, how about this, I'll tell
Speaker 1: you what he told us. Okay, okay. He said that
Speaker 1: he met you at a bar and then went out
Speaker 1: for a picnic, and at your picnic, he presented you
Speaker 1: with a huge family history thing that he had made
Speaker 1: from some website or something. Yes, that's correct. Yes? Did
Speaker 1: that Did that freak you out? That would have freaked
Speaker 1: me out. Well, it took me by surprise for sure. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I had never met anybody who has gone to such
Speaker 1: great length to impress me. Maybe. Yeah, Well, he said
Speaker 1: that you guys had talked about it, and you knew
Speaker 1: that he was into this kind of thing. Oh I did.
Speaker 1: I just wasn't expecting, I guess, on the first date
Speaker 1: for him to whip out my full entire family, like
Speaker 1: not even just my grandparents, like my great grandparents. And
Speaker 1: then beyond you know what I'm saying, I like to
Speaker 1: bring up genealogy as a hobby and then to troll
Speaker 1: your Facebook page to find out who your great great
Speaker 1: great great great great grandfather is is a big leap.
Speaker 1: It at least impressive to you. I mean, he did
Speaker 1: a lot of research. Obviously he liked you. Yes, that
Speaker 1: part is very impressive because I'm sure that took a
Speaker 1: lot of time. But then that's also creepy because now
Speaker 1: he has a lot of my family's information. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: a weird line because you know, he told us about it,
Speaker 1: and I went back and forth. I was like, is
Speaker 1: it creepy or is it a nice thing from a
Speaker 1: guy who's just really into finding out people's family histories. Yeah?
Speaker 1: I kind of agree with you, but I went back
Speaker 1: and forth, is this impressive or is this weird? But
Speaker 1: then it just got like straight up weird. It got
Speaker 1: stranger after your surprise. Oh yeah. So after our picnic
Speaker 1: where he presented me with the family tree, we start
Speaker 1: walking down this hill and then he's like to surprise, Like, uh,
Speaker 1: what is this surprise? And he's like, this is the
Speaker 1: oldest cemetery in the state, Like cool, awesome. Then he said,
Speaker 1: look over there, over there is where your great grandparents
Speaker 1: are buried. What okay, he took me to the burial
Speaker 1: side of your family. Oh that's not even There's one
Speaker 1: more layer of weird to this. Then he whipped out cheesecake, like,
Speaker 1: let's finish our picnic at my great grandparents graves. Oh
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean he knows nothing about your feelings
Speaker 1: on death or if you knew these people were right? No, yea.
Speaker 1: And he basically was like, let's spend time with your
Speaker 1: great grandparents. So did you stand there and eat cheesecake
Speaker 1: in front of your great grandparents grave? I woofed that
Speaker 1: cheesecake down and got the hell out of there. That
Speaker 1: is the best visual I've ever heard of it my
Speaker 1: whole life. Did you guys, did you guys talk during it?
Speaker 1: Or oh no, I was eating so fast? What was
Speaker 1: his reasoning for wanting you to be He wanted me
Speaker 1: to know about my history and spend time with them.
Speaker 1: Did you learn anything new from eating cheesecake at your
Speaker 1: great grandparents grave? He told me a couple of facts
Speaker 1: about them. But in my mind, I'm like, just finished
Speaker 1: the cake, just this, sheethecake, and let's go. So I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: I just have a quick thing to say here. Um,
Speaker 1: oh all right, I was helping you would wait, yea,
Speaker 1: what is going on? Ali? That's Ian. He's actually on
Speaker 1: the other line listening and wants to talk to you.
Speaker 1: What are you talking about? I mean that he was
Speaker 1: on the phone the whole time, listening and he wanted
Speaker 1: to talk to you. He was supposed to wait until
Speaker 1: I brought him into the conversation, but he just couldn't
Speaker 1: help himself. I guess I'm sorry that I jumped in.
Speaker 1: I just I couldn't help myself. I feel like Ali's
Speaker 1: missing something that's kind of just inherently cool about the
Speaker 1: fact that she has distant relatives, not not even distant relatives,
Speaker 1: direct line relatives that live right right in town. I myself,
Speaker 1: I had to go to Scotland to have this same
Speaker 1: experience as being able to see the gravestones of my
Speaker 1: great great grandparents that's I mean, that's that's and and
Speaker 1: I just cut you off for a second. I do
Speaker 1: think that's really cool. I mean that is awesome, and
Speaker 1: that would be a really sweet, romantic thing. But you
Speaker 1: just met me. Can't we talk about that and get
Speaker 1: to that point, like, I don't know, three years from now,
Speaker 1: I mean three years from now, that's a long time.
Speaker 1: There could be a whole other generation and they have
Speaker 1: to redo the family tree. Okay, well, at this point,
Speaker 1: I think that you can stop working on my family tree. Yeah, Ali,
Speaker 1: I mean, did you have fun with him outside of
Speaker 1: the kind of strange research he did into your history?
Speaker 1: I could have maybe dealt with the family tree thing,
Speaker 1: because that was pretty impressive. But then taking somebody to
Speaker 1: a cemetery on a first date, I mean, yeah, I
Speaker 1: know that you don't really understand how she's not fully
Speaker 1: impressed by the family true thing, But taking somebody to
Speaker 1: a grave site on a first date, I feel like
Speaker 1: anyone's blowing this very out of proportion. The grandparents finding
Speaker 1: the grandparents is actually pretty easy. But the main setup,
Speaker 1: the name, the main research was going into the family tree.
Speaker 1: That's what at the time, I think that's what we
Speaker 1: should focus on. That's the part you're trying to like, Well,
Speaker 1: we need to focus on we need to focus on
Speaker 1: taking somebody to a grave site on a first date,
Speaker 1: no matter who it is. Yeah, why okay? What if
Speaker 1: I put it this way? An? What if I say, like,
Speaker 1: maybe you spent too much time investing on where Ali
Speaker 1: came from instead of who she is right now? Thank you?
Speaker 1: Ali doesn't even know who she is. If she doesn't
Speaker 1: know her path, you know, then I come into her
Speaker 1: life and I can help her figure it out. Are
Speaker 1: you kidding? I think you need to wait and find
Speaker 1: out some more about me first, but at this point
Speaker 1: it's not going to happen. What a wonderful lead into
Speaker 1: my question, Ali, would you like Ian to learn more
Speaker 1: about you and go out on a second date with him?
Speaker 1: We will pay for it now? No how no breaks
Speaker 1: me out? Then he insultd me. No, sorry, I didn't
Speaker 1: mean to insult you. That was certainly not my intention.
Speaker 1: I feel like if we could go out again and
Speaker 1: just start from fresh, that would be good, And I
Speaker 1: will tell you there is an extra incentive if you
Speaker 1: have another date with me. I found out some pretty
Speaker 1: interesting things about a great aunt of yours. Doesn't care.
Speaker 1: At this point, I don't care, and I don't want
Speaker 1: to go to her great either, Okay, I can just
Speaker 1: I can just email you the information in those thinks.
Speaker 1: She has a Wikipedia page. She was. Wow, Well, Ali,
Speaker 1: thank you for talking to us about your day. Thank you. Yeah, Ian,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry you didn't get a second date. But maybe
Speaker 1: this is a lesson learned. Yeah, I guess so. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and what's that lesson? Don't ask people out on a
Speaker 1: first date. They're going to be ungrateful about research you do.
Speaker 1: Broken jewel in the morning,
