Speaker 1: The second date of day.
Speaker 2: One thing that we've learned doing thousands of these phone
Speaker 2: calls is trying harder on a date doesn't guarantee you're
Speaker 2: gonna get good results.
Speaker 3: Sometimes guarantees.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Unfortunately, trying is the key to failing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's what one of our listeners, Jimmy, said,
Speaker 2: happened the other night. He tried, and now he regrets
Speaker 2: ever doing. Oh, Jimmy, welcome to Brook and Jeffrey in
Speaker 2: the morning where dreams Go to die.
Speaker 4: Say it again, jeff We're putting it on our website.
Speaker 1: Jimmy, welcome man.
Speaker 5: Thanks, Thanks, hope my dream doesn't die here. Give me
Speaker 5: a shot.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I want to hear about your trying, Jimmy.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it sounds like you went in with hopeful attitude
Speaker 6: on this date.
Speaker 1: Who did you try for? What's her name?
Speaker 5: Her name's Erica. She's really nice, she's super cute.
Speaker 3: What about her made you want to try?
Speaker 5: We just we just a lot of the things they
Speaker 5: were looking for happened to line up. I mean, obviously,
Speaker 5: for me, it starts number one, like am I attracted
Speaker 5: to you or not? So there was that, and then
Speaker 5: all this stuff just happened to match. Up.
Speaker 1: So you want to be attracted to the people that
Speaker 1: you date weird.
Speaker 5: I know, I know, it's crazy.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's the strategy you want to go with.
Speaker 3: Yeah, loo wow, so shallow, that's good.
Speaker 2: Okay, So what you said you tried? What does that mean?
Speaker 2: What did you do that was above and beyond?
Speaker 5: So I kind of blame you, guys. I listened to
Speaker 5: you guys, and I hear all these stories about people
Speaker 5: like trying something different, like, oh, we didn't just go
Speaker 5: to dinner in a movie. We did this weird thing.
Speaker 5: We went like sky.
Speaker 3: Do you ever listen to the end of those?
Speaker 2: It probably turns us off after two minutes like most people.
Speaker 6: He's like, that sounds like a great Are you realize
Speaker 6: why they're calling us?
Speaker 3: So what was your big creative idea for a date?
Speaker 5: Okay? So first of all, we met out a food
Speaker 5: truck and I was like, I got a surprise for you.
Speaker 5: So we walked blocks to a psychic.
Speaker 6: Oh oh did you know if she I mean, some
Speaker 6: people have some real strong opinions about this type of stuff.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I guess, so, I mean, I don't know. I
Speaker 5: just thought it would be a fun thing. My friend
Speaker 5: they had gone to them and they had a good time.
Speaker 6: Okay, okay, I always want to walk in when I
Speaker 6: see those. I think that they're more expensive than I
Speaker 6: want to pay, though, but on a date if he's paying.
Speaker 1: Whe did the fortune teller do?
Speaker 2: Did they look in like a crystal ball or did
Speaker 2: they open up like a fortune cookie and read it
Speaker 2: to you?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 5: No, it was a tarot card thing.
Speaker 3: It was okay, okay, Like a lot of my.
Speaker 5: Lady friends are really into that too. I thought maybe
Speaker 5: it might be.
Speaker 3: So what was her attitude when you told her about
Speaker 3: the surprise?
Speaker 5: She was like she was surprised. She was smiling and
Speaker 5: thought it was going to be fun. I thought so.
Speaker 5: But you say I had no reason to be concerned.
Speaker 1: You say that it didn't work out for you. What
Speaker 1: happened right?
Speaker 5: Well? Okay, so they you know, reading the future and
Speaker 5: like the big takeaway at the end was that Erica
Speaker 5: and I were going to be a really, really really
Speaker 5: bad match.
Speaker 3: Did Erica what did she say?
Speaker 5: She left?
Speaker 4: She last?
Speaker 3: She just agreed with the psych It's hard not to believe.
Speaker 3: That was like a little like.
Speaker 6: I mean, you know sometimes those people also like send
Speaker 6: something else that's going on?
Speaker 3: Are you allowed to ask why, Like are you allowed
Speaker 3: to say why? Why are the AOD match? Sounds good
Speaker 3: to me.
Speaker 5: I wasn't particularly interested in, like.
Speaker 1: Did you offer to fight them?
Speaker 5: No, I'm a.
Speaker 1: Great guy, perfect match.
Speaker 3: Erica just like dashed out.
Speaker 5: No, no, no, she's not like I'm leaving. She was
Speaker 5: like laughing and it was awkward. She's like, I gotta
Speaker 5: go outside, and I was like, okay, but I'm going
Speaker 5: to stay in here because I gotta like I almost
Speaker 5: going to try to get my money back, right, Oh?
Speaker 3: Is that what you did? I love on your four weight?
Speaker 1: It looks cheap.
Speaker 6: It's a it's a Tarot card reading, not a wingman situation.
Speaker 5: On a date, like we're there to have a good time,
Speaker 5: and then like you're gonna give me that, Like you
Speaker 5: might as well say like, oh no, you better go
Speaker 5: home right now. Your dog's gonna die.
Speaker 6: Well yeah, like you needed to get the diss on
Speaker 6: a psychic down the.
Speaker 1: Road to tell this girl's sleep with.
Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly like you said. I was like, what is this?
Speaker 5: She was like, sorry, the cards don't lie, and I'm like,
Speaker 5: maybe you could make them lie for this.
Speaker 1: I mean, most people don't know tarot cards.
Speaker 5: You could tell me anything and be like, oh, this
Speaker 5: is the joker, but it's upset.
Speaker 2: This is the thirteenth moon of Geneva and I don't
Speaker 2: know what that It sounds.
Speaker 6: Like Erica was laughing, Like, it doesn't sound like she
Speaker 6: was actually upset.
Speaker 1: Sounds she stormed out.
Speaker 3: He said, she was laughing. She said, I'll meet you outside.
Speaker 1: Did you meet up with her after that?
Speaker 5: Yeah? She actually came back in to get me out
Speaker 5: of there.
Speaker 6: Oh wait, so you were arguing with the psychic over
Speaker 6: money and then Erica had to come back in and
Speaker 6: pull you out.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: The card that is way worse. This is what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: This guy is not cool.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's your bad luck.
Speaker 2: Okay, and again Bathlok doesn't mean you're a bad person,
Speaker 2: doesn't mean you don't match.
Speaker 1: But I could see why that image isn't good. So
Speaker 1: how did this date end?
Speaker 5: I mean, we had a drink, but it was super
Speaker 5: awkward and then that was it and it was over.
Speaker 3: You don't want to stick with the cards and just
Speaker 3: let this lie?
Speaker 5: No, No, I would love a second chance. I would
Speaker 5: love that you have a.
Speaker 3: Tarot card we make it's a tarot card reading.
Speaker 1: Do you have any training in this. No, I just
Speaker 1: have some crystal balls that you got to rub.
Speaker 3: No, those are different. Why are they crystals?
Speaker 1: Two of them? Because a rubbing them now before we before,
Speaker 1: just like you the normal way. I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, please, we'll do it the old fashioned Give
Speaker 2: her a call.
Speaker 1: See what she has to say.
Speaker 3: You go, Oh, I predict it's gonna turn out great.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's our pschic predictions. We're gonna come back and
Speaker 2: do it with your second date. Update right after this
Speaker 2: second you've probably been out on a first date where
Speaker 2: a total stranger comes up and just randomly says you
Speaker 2: two makes such a cute couple.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, that is such a nice moment.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that happens sometimes, but probably not a lot of
Speaker 2: daters have experienced somebody saying, wow, you too look like
Speaker 2: a terrible match.
Speaker 6: Yes, even if a lot of people are thanking about it,
Speaker 6: nobody actually says it.
Speaker 1: I know you're with them.
Speaker 2: I know Brooks uncle said that to her once. It's
Speaker 2: about her cousin because they look too similar.
Speaker 3: You're so dumb. I did not date my cousin because.
Speaker 1: Your uncle wouldn't allow it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that was smart of him, But most of
Speaker 2: the time, you don't get the kiss of death via
Speaker 2: tarot card on the first day. Unfortunately, that's what happened
Speaker 2: with one of our listeners, Jimmy, where the psychic literally
Speaker 2: looked at the cards and said, this relationship is doomed.
Speaker 3: I mean, it is a bad tone for the rest
Speaker 3: of the night.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but we're coming in with a slightly more optimistic
Speaker 2: attitude when we call Erica for him. Here, Jimmy, how
Speaker 2: are you feeling right now?
Speaker 5: I'm feeling all right, Let's see hopefully.
Speaker 6: Okay, Okay, that's you need to be more like I
Speaker 6: don't know, there we go.
Speaker 3: You need to be going into this.
Speaker 1: And jeff was rubbing his crystal balls for you very extensively.
Speaker 1: In between the break.
Speaker 4: He said, it was gonna What did you see in
Speaker 4: those The outlook is good, very good, Jimmy, all right,
Speaker 4: something telling me that's not gonna help.
Speaker 2: But let's just call and see if that helps too.
Speaker 2: All right, We're gonna go, America.
Speaker 1: Let's do it. Hello, Hey, we're looking for Erica this time.
Speaker 2: Hey, Erica, we're a morning radio show called Brook and Jeffrey,
Speaker 2: and that means you're on the radio right now. I'm
Speaker 2: Jeffrey by.
Speaker 7: The way, Oh hi everybody.
Speaker 3: Hi, congratulations. Big feature spot on our show today is
Speaker 3: that what we're calling.
Speaker 2: Maybe congratulations is quite the right word, but it might
Speaker 2: be if it turns out you are still interested in
Speaker 2: the guy you went out with the other night named Jimmy.
Speaker 7: What I thought this was a prize giveaway?
Speaker 1: Well, and Jimmy is your prize?
Speaker 3: Sick a little teddy bear at the bottom of a
Speaker 3: claw machine.
Speaker 1: Get him?
Speaker 7: Okay, Well, I'm gonna exchange that price for something else,
Speaker 7: for like, what like a key shake.
Speaker 1: I don't know if we can do that. Why do
Speaker 1: you say that though?
Speaker 2: I mean, we know you're not called Jimmy back after
Speaker 2: your date where we're trying to help him figure out why?
Speaker 7: Okay, so this is Oh my gosh, it was so crazy.
Speaker 7: I don't know what Jimmy told you.
Speaker 3: Guys. Oh, but we'd love to hear your version of
Speaker 3: the night.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it was horrific. Okay, let me rewind. Yes, please,
Speaker 7: we went to a psychic to read our future.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, what did you think when he because he
Speaker 6: said that he surprised you with that tarot card reading?
Speaker 3: What was your initial thought on that?
Speaker 7: I thought it was weird and strange. I was like,
Speaker 7: why are we going to see a psychic? But I
Speaker 7: was trying to be optimistic, so I was like, well,
Speaker 7: let me go with the flow.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I think that was his whole goal. Is he was
Speaker 2: just trying to do something new, unique. It wasn't something
Speaker 2: that he necessarily like believes like wholeheartedly in his soul.
Speaker 6: It's a risky activity to pick because yeah, and it
Speaker 6: doesn't sound like it was something you were super comfortable.
Speaker 7: With, right, And it's crazy you said it was risky
Speaker 7: because when we got there, like she was reading the
Speaker 7: cards and all of a sudden, as one car came
Speaker 7: out and it was called like the three of wand the.
Speaker 1: Swords, three of swords swords.
Speaker 7: Yes, like three daggers through you or something like that sounds.
Speaker 1: Good to me.
Speaker 7: It was horrible.
Speaker 1: It's horrible.
Speaker 7: It was actually horrible. It meant like something about portrayal
Speaker 7: and heartbroken.
Speaker 6: Oh, is that when the tarot card reader told you
Speaker 6: guys that you shouldn't be together?
Speaker 7: Yeah, she actually said we were going to be like
Speaker 7: really bad for each other.
Speaker 2: But do you feel like maybe she was just a
Speaker 2: little bit jealous?
Speaker 7: I honestly don't think she was jealous. I think she
Speaker 7: was actually pretty legit because when we first met, I
Speaker 7: got there, I was all cute. I was nine and
Speaker 7: I saw you. I was like okay, and I'm thinking
Speaker 7: we're about to eat together. But he said to me like, hey,
Speaker 7: already ate, but you know if you want something, you
Speaker 7: can go get in a line.
Speaker 1: Oh are you talking about at the food truck?
Speaker 6: Yes, wait said he took you to a food truck,
Speaker 6: meaning that you guys ate together.
Speaker 7: That was what we thought, Well, he ate, but I didn't.
Speaker 6: Oh my god, he before you.
Speaker 7: Really, before I even got there. And you know, I
Speaker 7: really thought it was so rude that he told me
Speaker 7: to just go get in line and go buy my
Speaker 7: own food, like on our first date.
Speaker 2: Yes, but it also could be like a show of
Speaker 2: your independent woman.
Speaker 1: No, no, but I respect your support yourself.
Speaker 6: Listen, if you're gonna take me out on the date,
Speaker 6: you're gonna feed me.
Speaker 3: If I am not fed, wait in line with me. Seriously,
Speaker 3: that is just that is super rude.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can't deny that.
Speaker 7: Yeah. So I had this gut feeling, but the tour
Speaker 7: reader she pretty much confirmed it to me. And even
Speaker 7: in there, it was like I just brushed out of there,
Speaker 7: and I hear him still arguing with her about giving
Speaker 7: his money back, and I'm like.
Speaker 3: Plus you were hungry at the time too, I mean,
Speaker 3: all of it. It doesn't help.
Speaker 5: Well.
Speaker 2: You don't know this, but I have a Tarot deck
Speaker 2: out in front of me, and I just drew the
Speaker 2: three phone calls the microphone. No oh no, I'm a
Speaker 2: pretty bad Tarot reader. And one of the phones must
Speaker 2: be Jimmy on the other line, wanting to talk to you.
Speaker 7: You're joking, Are you joking?
Speaker 1: No, I'm not joking.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm here.
Speaker 6: Wow, Jimmy, it didn't sound good anything to say.
Speaker 5: I mean, the only thing I have to say is
Speaker 5: that I don't know what I did that was that bad.
Speaker 5: I mean, y'all go. The guy in the backgrounds like
Speaker 5: ha ha, and I'm like, what just because I didn't
Speaker 5: buy her the food at the food truck?
Speaker 3: Why exactly, Jimmy, why aren't you starting with I'm sorry.
Speaker 5: You don't see why, bro, But that would be a
Speaker 5: little upsetting to anybody on a day like you ate
Speaker 5: without them upsetting. That's a really good food truck. You
Speaker 5: should be happy, you know that.
Speaker 1: No manners?
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I didn't want to wait fifteen minutes
Speaker 2: for her to get there so you can eat together.
Speaker 5: It's not a restaurant, guys. It's a food truck. You
Speaker 5: go in and go out whenever you want. We want
Speaker 5: it like a five star restaurant.
Speaker 6: But why wouldn't you order food for Erica and have
Speaker 6: it like waiting there for her.
Speaker 3: If it's like your favorite food truck and you're like,
Speaker 3: you've got to try this, like, just order it for her.
Speaker 5: Because I used all my suping money on the Psychic. Okay,
Speaker 5: it's not.
Speaker 6: That you no wonder you wanted to refundsys aren't cheap
Speaker 6: if you didn't.
Speaker 1: Spend money on her.
Speaker 5: First okay, But actually didn't even invite her to dinner.
Speaker 5: I was just like, let's meet at the food truck
Speaker 5: because that was the place I know.
Speaker 3: So it's on Erica. It's on Erica that she didn't understand.
Speaker 7: Yeah, see, Erica, he's not rude, he's just poor, honestly
Speaker 7: obviously poor and bad manners. Yeah, will you tell me
Speaker 7: we're meeting at a food truck. I'm assuming that we're
Speaker 7: having dinner together.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's like, hey, meet me and old Garden at
Speaker 5: seven o'clock and then it's like, Okay, where are you
Speaker 5: gonna be?
Speaker 3: Ye what I mean? I think that's a universal Like.
Speaker 5: Right, next time we go out, then can we meet
Speaker 5: twenty feet away from the food trucks.
Speaker 2: Problem truck adjacent?
Speaker 5: Yea?
Speaker 6: And I like how we started this whole thing about
Speaker 6: how Jimmy put in an extra effort.
Speaker 2: But if you're willing to do that, Erica, then we
Speaker 2: would love to send you to out on a second
Speaker 2: date and pay for it.
Speaker 7: Yes, absolutely not, there would not be a second date.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 3: It sounds like Jimmy may still need the gift card
Speaker 3: though Jeff.
Speaker 1: I don't know if he even wants it anymore.
Speaker 5: You know what I bet if I went to that
Speaker 5: psychic again, I bet she would pull a tel card
Speaker 5: that tells me that I shouldn't have gone on that
Speaker 5: radio show because you guys have been no help.
Speaker 2: Suddenly, now you're on the psychic side.
Speaker 6: I thought.
Speaker 3: Jeff was the three microphones.
Speaker 2: Jeffrey in the morning, all right, Well, obviously that guy
Speaker 2: was acting a little out of pocket, eating his dinner
Speaker 2: before his date even got there, and then telling her
Speaker 2: she's hungry, getting line and by her.
Speaker 3: Own well, not apologizing after he heard it recapped to him.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that was pretty heartless.
Speaker 2: But I don't know about the argument that if you
Speaker 2: asked to meet up near something, then it's assumed that
Speaker 2: must be your date.
Speaker 3: He didn't say near, he said at the top, at
Speaker 3: the food.
Speaker 4: I think it's always yes, absolutely, at the bowling alley,
Speaker 4: you assuming you're gonna go bowling?
Speaker 3: Yeah, Or let's meet at the bar. We're gonna get
Speaker 3: a drink.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Well, then I'm just glad that they didn't meet near
Speaker 2: a proctologist's office.
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm disappointed that they didn't meet in front of
Speaker 1: the protology.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I can't decide how I feel it would be a
Speaker 1: good date plus health matters.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, be a clean date.
Speaker 2: It's a date that they're never going to go on
Speaker 2: because we didn't get them a second date.
Speaker 3: But it just gave you an idea.
Speaker 1: Really, I've got some reservations to book after this.
Speaker 3: Ladies texted, But you don't need a massage.
Speaker 2: You ever, you ever need help with your dating life,
Speaker 2: you can always email that show, our show, that show
Speaker 2: that you like it, doesn't.
