Speaker 1: Second date up dated. I saw something on Instagram recently
Speaker 1: that basically sums up what I think a lot of
Speaker 1: our listeners are feeling with the online dating apps. It
Speaker 1: was a guy who says, I think my favorite part
Speaker 1: of online dating is when you match with someone and
Speaker 1: you're talking and it's going great, and three weeks later,
Speaker 1: someone somewhere loses interest and you just never talk to
Speaker 1: them again, and you just keep doing that over and
Speaker 1: over and over until you're ninety and you're single and
Speaker 1: you die alone.
Speaker 2: It's so true. Wow, what a romantic look, Brooke.
Speaker 1: Aren't you upset that you got married and missed the
Speaker 1: peak era of dating apps?
Speaker 2: Why did I do that?
Speaker 1: Well, we have a guy on the phone who says
Speaker 1: he also has become pretty frustrated with the online dating experience.
Speaker 1: His name is Steven. So Steven, welcome to the show man.
Speaker 3: How you doing yo?
Speaker 2: You sound down?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: I am pretty down.
Speaker 1: Yeah, buddy probably just closed his Tinder wrap right now
Speaker 1: before he got on, So it's not going so well
Speaker 1: for you.
Speaker 4: Huh No, I mean I just can't beat anybody. Honestly,
Speaker 4: I was so tired. I did something pretty desperate recently.
Speaker 1: That's kind of why I called, oh, oh you did
Speaker 1: something desperate Desperate.
Speaker 4: Wife's on ad online it said soul made psychic.
Speaker 1: Oh that's a good catchy phrase. Yeah, what does that mean?
Speaker 4: For fifty dollars? The person was able to draw your
Speaker 4: soul date.
Speaker 2: For you draw.
Speaker 1: A sketch of them. That's actually great because then you
Speaker 1: can see, like when you see them in real life.
Speaker 2: Then you know, why do I feel like they stock
Speaker 2: your social media and then draw your ass?
Speaker 1: But you're right, if you see them out in the world,
Speaker 1: you could just hold up this photo and be like,
Speaker 1: we're sol made. You don't bring a photo around with you,
Speaker 1: you just know in your head.
Speaker 2: Okay, wait, wait, wait, you all believe that someone can
Speaker 2: do this, well if.
Speaker 1: It's a psychic, yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, I'm.
Speaker 2: Going to go with sure.
Speaker 1: Brook already doesn't believe in your soulmate before she even
Speaker 1: knows anything about it.
Speaker 2: It doesn't sound like either.
Speaker 1: Well, well, we don't even know what the story is.
Speaker 1: So you actually signed up and did this.
Speaker 3: I did this. Twenty minutes later, I get to sketch
Speaker 3: email to me.
Speaker 2: Oh, it's just even over it's online.
Speaker 3: No, no, it was a phone conversation.
Speaker 5: Oh, okay, took to her, and then she draws What
Speaker 5: kind of questions did she ask you?
Speaker 3: Well, she's asking me my interest, she's asking me you.
Speaker 1: Know, but she's not asking for a physical description of
Speaker 1: your perfect woman. She's trying to get to know you.
Speaker 3: Yeah exactly, okay, you about you.
Speaker 1: But then she's drawing the lady of yours? So what
Speaker 1: did you think of the picture?
Speaker 3: So she's very pretty, that's good.
Speaker 2: Shocking, she didn't draw an ugly person, so weird.
Speaker 1: Well, that's very lucky for him. I'm sure she draws
Speaker 1: a lot of ugly people for other people. But what
Speaker 1: did you do with the photo?
Speaker 3: I put her up a refrigerator.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, okay, I didn't know what to do with
Speaker 2: it away online.
Speaker 5: I mean, you can put it on your dating app
Speaker 5: and say this is what I'm looking for.
Speaker 1: Yeah, now you're thinking brook, okay, you fill in the
Speaker 1: for me. Well, did anything come of it?
Speaker 4: So like a month later, I'm at this wedding and
Speaker 4: I see a woman and it's like a shoe, exactly
Speaker 4: like the picture.
Speaker 1: No way?
Speaker 4: Really?
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, what did you do?
Speaker 4: Well?
Speaker 3: First they try not to freak out. I'm like, oh
Speaker 3: my god.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well now you must feel the pressure on you.
Speaker 1: So what do you do?
Speaker 3: So I build up enough confidence and I go over
Speaker 3: there and I ask her dance.
Speaker 1: Oh, why aren't you awing yet? This is happening. Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: And what did she say when you asked her to dance?
Speaker 3: She said, yes, that we're dancing.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, it's happening. So now you've opened the
Speaker 1: door for true love to step through. But the big
Speaker 1: question is did you tell her about the soulmate photo
Speaker 1: that was sent to you?
Speaker 3: Well, I I told her I have a surprise for you.
Speaker 2: Oh no, you're going to sell her. What do you
Speaker 2: mean you told her that?
Speaker 3: I just couldn't hold it in. It's too weird, it's
Speaker 3: too coincidental.
Speaker 5: Wait, so that night, we're still at the wedding reception
Speaker 5: and you're going to pull out the picture on your phone.
Speaker 3: No, I know, I didn't even have a copy of it.
Speaker 4: Honestly, I'll text it to you.
Speaker 3: I told her I'll text it.
Speaker 2: What was your reaction though?
Speaker 3: Did she lack?
Speaker 1: I want to know what the caption was when you
Speaker 1: texted the phone.
Speaker 3: The caption was, isn't this crazy? This looks just like you?
Speaker 1: Okay, oh my god?
Speaker 2: How long does it take her to respond to yours?
Speaker 2: Is it about my first reaction? Is I have a stalker?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Or are you still waiting for a reply? Oh?
Speaker 3: Yeah, she responded, She's like, wow, that's crazy.
Speaker 4: Okay, But then it was kind of a different vibe
Speaker 4: from then on. She like I could tell something changed
Speaker 4: now and she wasn't as into me.
Speaker 1: Oh no, maybe you have android because that happens, and
Speaker 1: you sent it and got blurry.
Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't think that was it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, So looking back on the events that unfolded,
Speaker 1: do you feel like maybe you shouldn't have sent her
Speaker 1: the picture?
Speaker 4: Maybe?
Speaker 5: Yeah, he should have just brought her back to his
Speaker 5: apartment so she could have seen it on the fringe.
Speaker 1: So at this point, where are you at now?
Speaker 3: I mean, what are you gonna do? She woke it
Speaker 3: back to me. Really I had to move on from there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you could don't do it.
Speaker 1: So did you call this a lady Gann and you
Speaker 1: have a new picture drawn up?
Speaker 4: Or I'm like, I'm kind of just back on the apps.
Speaker 3: I'm like you, I'm thinking maybe I need to find
Speaker 3: others wone older.
Speaker 2: But you found her? So wait, wait, wait, are we
Speaker 2: going to call this girl?
Speaker 1: For you.
Speaker 3: I mean yeah, now because it has been a couple of.
Speaker 1: Months, I need yeah, I mean you need closure, man.
Speaker 3: I know anyone would I need closure from.
Speaker 5: What he met his so many Brooke and she's ghosting
Speaker 5: for threes okay, his life. I feel like we're trying
Speaker 5: to force something here, but I'll be on board.
Speaker 1: She'll give m answer.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Did we ever get the girl's name? By the way, her.
Speaker 3: Name is Zoe?
Speaker 1: Okaye. Well, we're gonna come back and call your soulmate
Speaker 1: Zoe and try and get you your second date update
Speaker 1: right after this second date update. You believe in love
Speaker 1: at first sight? Yes, Jeff? What about Okay? So yes?
Speaker 1: From Jose and from the girls? What about love it
Speaker 1: first sketch? No cause. Months ago, one of our listeners, Steven,
Speaker 1: paid a professional psychic to draw him a photo of
Speaker 1: his future soulmate before he's ever met her. He hung
Speaker 1: it up on his fridge, and wouldn't you know, just
Speaker 1: a short while later, he ends up meeting a woman
Speaker 1: who looks just like that photo when he was at
Speaker 1: a wedding. Her name was Zoe, and they danced and
Speaker 1: got to know each other. Everything was on the up
Speaker 1: and up until he got home and texted her the
Speaker 1: soulmate's sketch picture. Yeah, cooled off after that. It got
Speaker 1: me thinking though, like, how could we help him when
Speaker 1: we get her on the phone, and maybe we could
Speaker 1: say that he drew the picture after he met you,
Speaker 1: just from memory. He's a really good artist that it's
Speaker 1: not like a soulmate thing.
Speaker 2: I think he just apologizes and says I didn't that's.
Speaker 1: Your answer to everything. Apologize for what he did.
Speaker 2: It's a good photo.
Speaker 5: It has to be flattering it, I mean, you can't lie,
Speaker 5: Like how long is he going to keep up that
Speaker 5: he's a good artist?
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, it just came to him in a
Speaker 1: moment of inspiration. That's the point. I'm not an artist.
Speaker 1: It was the heavens that just guided my hand in that.
Speaker 1: You exactly what. Sadly, though, Stephen is back on the
Speaker 1: dating apps now, looking for older women and long distance stuff,
Speaker 1: whatever he can get because he's so dejected. Let's not
Speaker 1: say that, but we won't bring that up. I'm just
Speaker 1: saying his mind is still wondering, though, what about my
Speaker 1: soulmate Zoe? Isn't that right, Stephen? You've never forgotten about her?
Speaker 3: Well, I didn't forget. This wasn't that long ago.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but so a couple of months she could be
Speaker 2: in a relationship already. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm glad that we're going in with the positive attitude.
Speaker 1: So my promise I will keep trying. Nobody in this
Speaker 1: room is going to believe in love except for me
Speaker 1: and Jose, So we're gonna do our best. Let's call
Speaker 1: Zoe and see what she has to do.
Speaker 5: The weight of love on your shoulders. It must be hard,
Speaker 5: it's difficult.
Speaker 1: Here we go. Hello, two rings, she answered. I knew it, Zoe.
Speaker 1: Thank you for answering the phone right now. This is
Speaker 1: Zoe right, Yes, okay, did you know that too? That
Speaker 1: was luck on that one. But you're on the radio
Speaker 1: right now with a show called Brook and Jeffrey in
Speaker 1: the morning. Oh Zoe, how you doing?
Speaker 6: I mean, I'm okay, okay, Yeah? Why am I being
Speaker 6: cold right now?
Speaker 1: Well? Some might say it's fate that brought us to
Speaker 1: you today, but others would just say it's one of
Speaker 1: our listeners named Stephen who asked us to call you.
Speaker 6: No, no, thank you? No?
Speaker 2: Wait, hold on, do you remember Stephen?
Speaker 6: No, I'm not no.
Speaker 1: Uh wow, that's a picture. Really worked I guess.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Okay, well, so Zoe, we're doing a segment here called
Speaker 1: a second Date Update where we're trying to help Steven
Speaker 1: get in touch with you again because it's been a
Speaker 1: while since you've chatted since the wedding.
Speaker 6: Yeah, no, there's a reason why we haven't chatted.
Speaker 2: Okay, Okay, Well do you do you want to tell us?
Speaker 2: I mean, it seems like it's very clear why you're
Speaker 2: not calling him.
Speaker 1: I mean, you clear to him. We don't we don't
Speaker 1: know what you're thinking.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't think it's clear to him that I'm
Speaker 6: not really up for him wanting to date my mom.
Speaker 1: So why.
Speaker 4: Wait?
Speaker 2: Did he hit on your mom at the wedding reception?
Speaker 6: Or as far as I know, he hasn't met my mom,
Speaker 6: But I don't know if he told you guys.
Speaker 1: Wait, hold on, this is a lot. What we know
Speaker 1: is that you guys met at a wedding. You guys
Speaker 1: danced and had a good time. After the wedding, he
Speaker 1: texted you a photo that looked a lot like you
Speaker 1: and then and we thought.
Speaker 2: That was the reason. Yeah, called the fact that it
Speaker 2: freaked you out.
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, I mean that was creepy anyway, but.
Speaker 2: So where did your mom come into play here?
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's weird.
Speaker 6: Yeah. So at the wedding, he said he was surprised
Speaker 6: that I was single because he thought I was pretty
Speaker 6: whatever and yeah, and I was like, oh, yeah, it's crazy.
Speaker 6: Even my mom's dating, she's on the apps. Whatever. I
Speaker 6: laughed about it, and he texted me that photo. Whatever.
Speaker 6: But after that, my mom matched with him on one
Speaker 6: of the apps.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, Really, your mom tells your matches?
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, I mean my mom and I are fairly close,
Speaker 6: and she showed me who she matched with.
Speaker 1: Are you thinking that he went and like matched with
Speaker 1: her on purpose?
Speaker 2: I don't know that it matters, probably to her.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't care how it happened. It's just the
Speaker 6: fact that it happened.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, Well we don't know everything about how stuff
Speaker 1: happened the way that it happened. The only person who
Speaker 1: has the answers to that would be Stephen.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 2: He may not even know, yeah, because.
Speaker 1: He didn't mention anything like this when we talked to him.
Speaker 1: But he is on the other line right now waiting
Speaker 1: to speak with you.
Speaker 4: Zoe.
Speaker 3: What why?
Speaker 2: What?
Speaker 1: That's how the segment works, Steven, are you there.
Speaker 3: This is awkward. Sorry.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, did you know that you had matched with
Speaker 2: her mom?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 3: I told you guys, I was like back on the
Speaker 3: apps and looking for maybe someonet older.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you said, yeah, you didn't say you met with
Speaker 1: her family. You didn't say you went just one generation up.
Speaker 2: Oh, so why's your mom got that young of a
Speaker 2: dating pool? You should check her.
Speaker 5: She let job for the competition mom live.
Speaker 1: Okay, so you two need to talk about this clearly, dude, what.
Speaker 6: Is actually wrong with you? Like you're gonna you're gonna
Speaker 6: call the station and you're going to tell them like
Speaker 6: you're trying to figure out what's wrong. But clearly what's
Speaker 6: wrong is you're trying to get with my mother after
Speaker 6: trying to get with me.
Speaker 4: We didn't know you were responding to me. You're being
Speaker 4: kind of cold. I didn't know what to do.
Speaker 6: Yeah, for good reason.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 6: The first straw was you sending me that creepy picture anyway,
Speaker 6: so obviously I was going to be stand offish. And
Speaker 6: then my mom showed me her dating app with you
Speaker 6: on it.
Speaker 2: Wait, have you been talking to her mother and.
Speaker 3: We changed the messages?
Speaker 1: Okay, did you send is a date going to happen
Speaker 1: between you and Zoe's mom? Is that on the books.
Speaker 3: Well, I didn't want to ruin things with Zoe and I.
Speaker 1: Oh when he was prioritizing you Zoe?
Speaker 2: Is you send the mom the same picture you sent Zoe.
Speaker 3: I'm not going to make that the stick again.
Speaker 1: No way, okay, learning Okay, Stephen.
Speaker 6: I even showed her the picture that you sent her
Speaker 6: to me and she still isn't you?
Speaker 3: So you guys can just go, she said, she's still
Speaker 3: into me.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, you go enjoy yourself.
Speaker 1: Oh guys, we did it.
Speaker 2: We f have a soul. May God, so weird.
Speaker 1: So you you're saying you ship the relationship with your
Speaker 1: mom and Steven, I.
Speaker 6: Mean, I don't know what else I can do. I
Speaker 6: can't just tell my mom who she can and can't date.
Speaker 6: So like, how am I supposed to talk to her
Speaker 6: about that.
Speaker 2: At this point? A double date or I don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm going in default to the love expert
Speaker 1: on the show. Do you think that we should do
Speaker 1: in this situation?
Speaker 2: I mean it's I don't.
Speaker 1: She doesn't know perfect great ideas?
Speaker 2: Okay, ze dinner with either of them?
Speaker 1: Well she probably should because soon Stephen could be your stepdad.
Speaker 1: I have to be around a Thanksgiving case.
Speaker 2: You need to set bout to your mom if you
Speaker 2: got the same age ring.
Speaker 1: I mean, we would normally offer to send Steven out
Speaker 1: with Zoe, but I guess Stephen will offer to send
Speaker 1: you out with Zoe's mom on the.
Speaker 2: First So insulting. I am sorry, Zoe.
Speaker 1: Why is that insulting?
Speaker 6: Because that'd be greatat.
Speaker 1: Zoey's already turned him down. He's a free agent. He
Speaker 1: can date whoever he wants. Zoe, will you ask your
Speaker 1: mom for us?
Speaker 3: Please?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 6: No, forget all you guys. I'm sorry, this can't get anywhere.
Speaker 2: Yeah, darn Actually I'm actually worried that it can.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Is your grandma still alive? Because you never know? Yesrooking
Speaker 1: Jeffrey in the morning. Wow, who knew fifty bucks on
Speaker 1: a soulmate's psychic picture could work not once, but twice?
Speaker 1: Talk about value getting your money's worse.
Speaker 2: I did not even think about that. It's actually twenty
Speaker 2: f bucks per person at this point. That's great. You
Speaker 2: could call it a family deal, really could if.
Speaker 1: You think about it. Zoe was just the bread crumb
Speaker 1: that led Steven to his eventual destiny.
Speaker 2: The psychic Big Families, so that this can happen.
Speaker 1: Per I mean, what if I know we're all skeptical,
Speaker 1: but what if they really are meant to be? Would
Speaker 1: that Second Date update update be the most anticipated one
