Speaker 1: Hey, it's Monday after a time change. WOFTA. I know. Yeah, hey,
Speaker 1: welcome to it.
Speaker 2: We're going to try to get through this altogether. A.
Speaker 2: We do have a brand new second date for you
Speaker 2: today to kind of wake you up keep you going,
Speaker 2: and we always love to start those with comments.
Speaker 3: Yes, bis Mango said hi from Romania. You guys almost
Speaker 3: got me kicked out of class. I was listening to
Speaker 3: y'all during class with my earphones and it suddenly got
Speaker 3: out of power and the show started blasting in the
Speaker 3: silent amphitheater.
Speaker 1: Thank god, my professor was a listener.
Speaker 4: Now I know how to get better grades.
Speaker 3: A professor was a listener too. I'm scared what segment
Speaker 3: and what part was playing when it went out loud.
Speaker 1: I mean usually get held back for that stuff.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I got us.
Speaker 1: Yeah, alright, alright, dummies, here's a bridge update right now.
Speaker 6: Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Second date updates.
Speaker 7: I read an article recently where in New York City
Speaker 7: right now, they're holding speed Day events, just tons of them,
Speaker 7: where it's a three to one female to male ratio.
Speaker 5: Keep going. I've heard about.
Speaker 7: This, and this is where men can attend them for free.
Speaker 7: And women have to pay one hundred dollars or more,
Speaker 7: which is crazy drastic price difference. But guys just aren't
Speaker 7: showing up to these like at all anymore. And the
Speaker 7: reason why is because they interviewed some of the guys
Speaker 7: and men say they feel like they're most likely going
Speaker 7: to get ignored or rejected by the women there anyway,
Speaker 7: So even a free ticket just feels like a big
Speaker 7: waste of time.
Speaker 2: So that all the men have given up in New
Speaker 2: York City and blamed the women. Yeah, I love it,
Speaker 2: That's what I just heard.
Speaker 7: Well, it's nice that you came with such an open
Speaker 7: heart towards these guys and their feelings. I'm sure that
Speaker 7: it has nothing to do with how they feel. The
Speaker 7: feel weird about the women, I know, but no one
Speaker 7: knows that better than one of our listeners, Stacey, who's
Speaker 7: on the phone right now because she wingmanned her brother
Speaker 7: at one of these events. I'm not sure why he's
Speaker 7: not on the phone with us.
Speaker 1: Wingmanning your brother. Your brother better have paid your one
Speaker 1: hundred dollars entry show.
Speaker 4: Stacey. Welcome to the show.
Speaker 8: Hey, guys, how's it going today?
Speaker 5: Good? We asked you the questions.
Speaker 4: So yeah, I guess who paid? Did your brother pay
Speaker 4: for this?
Speaker 8: My brother did pay for it, okay?
Speaker 1: And why did he think he wanted his sister to
Speaker 1: be there?
Speaker 8: You know, he's just a really shy guy. So he
Speaker 8: asked if I would go with him, and of course,
Speaker 8: you know, he's my baby brother. I'm sure I'm going
Speaker 8: to go with him. I want him to find happiness.
Speaker 5: You're like his comfort, like service animals.
Speaker 4: Yeah, until you until you find a hot guy, and
Speaker 4: then he's on his own.
Speaker 8: Certainly, Why did.
Speaker 5: You participate too?
Speaker 9: I did.
Speaker 10: I didn't find anybody, but he did.
Speaker 8: Wait, we thought, okay, I thought.
Speaker 1: This was a second date update for you.
Speaker 8: No, I am actually calling for my brother.
Speaker 4: Interesting.
Speaker 8: I told him to call you guys. He said he
Speaker 8: was too nervous. I said, why don't you just email them?
Speaker 8: And he just was too embarrassed.
Speaker 6: Couldn't do it.
Speaker 5: Bud, He's with us like we're harmless. We're on the font,
Speaker 5: I know.
Speaker 1: But that's scary to be on the radio. Like I
Speaker 1: can get that.
Speaker 7: Yeah, especially when we're talking to Brook as a man,
Speaker 7: I don't feel fear coming.
Speaker 2: I mean, your sister will air all your dirty laundry.
Speaker 2: The nice thing is, we'll probably get the honest truth
Speaker 2: about what you think he did wrong.
Speaker 5: Before this instead oblivious to everything.
Speaker 1: That's how siblings were.
Speaker 7: I'm curious, how much do you know about your brother
Speaker 7: and the girl he met, Like, how much detail do
Speaker 7: you have?
Speaker 8: I mean I have the detail in the sense that
Speaker 8: I was there and I was kind of overhearing what
Speaker 8: they were saying. But they hit it off so well.
Speaker 8: They had so much in common, Like my brother spent
Speaker 8: a year in Italy for a.
Speaker 10: Travel abroad program and it turned out that she did too.
Speaker 8: They just seem to really really hit it off. And
Speaker 8: you know that arm touch you just like reach across
Speaker 8: the table when you're laughing, and it means more than
Speaker 8: just touching your arm. She did that like five times.
Speaker 4: And did he did he do that to her?
Speaker 1: Just touching arms?
Speaker 4: Touching arms and maybe you touched both their arms.
Speaker 8: No, No, he was very respectful. But at the end
Speaker 8: of the date they picked each other.
Speaker 11: Okay, at the end of the speed dating, choose your
Speaker 11: favorite wild to like pick somebody, spend the money to
Speaker 11: be at the event, and then not follow through with
Speaker 11: the person that you.
Speaker 5: Picked about money, Yes, sometimes you have change of hearts.
Speaker 4: So this is the only interaction that they had is
Speaker 4: at the speed dating.
Speaker 8: No, they did go on a follow up date, oh
Speaker 8: right after they went to dinner. I did not join
Speaker 8: them for that one.
Speaker 10: It is very possible he screwed it up there.
Speaker 8: But okay, he said dinner was fine, but it ended
Speaker 8: with him walking her to the car. He was hoping
Speaker 8: to chat with her, but she was really really quiet
Speaker 8: and just kept insisting that he didn't have to walk
Speaker 8: her back.
Speaker 5: Oh a bad.
Speaker 7: Oh during the walk most you really don't have.
Speaker 1: To come, well, I mean at night you want somebody to.
Speaker 7: Anybody, I mean girl normally unless Yeah, clearly there's something
Speaker 7: happening between the two of them where she doesn't want
Speaker 7: him around.
Speaker 5: And that's how you know he did something wrong.
Speaker 10: Right as the sister, It's it's very possible.
Speaker 8: Ben is so sweet, like we call him sweet Benjamin
Speaker 8: in the family, like that is I don't know if yeah.
Speaker 7: Sweet Benjamin sounds like he needs extra like we have
Speaker 7: her first reason why she's probably not calling him.
Speaker 10: It is very possible.
Speaker 8: But I also you know, he doesn't know what's going on,
Speaker 8: and I just I want to help because he walked
Speaker 8: herto the car and apparently she didn't even say thank you.
Speaker 8: She just waved, got right in her car, like, no
Speaker 8: opportunity to even hug goodbye.
Speaker 2: Does Ben know that you're doing this for him? I
Speaker 2: know you encouraged him to do it, but does he
Speaker 2: know you took the reins?
Speaker 8: I told him I was going to. I don't know
Speaker 8: if he believe me, but at this point he should.
Speaker 12: This is interesting.
Speaker 5: It's gonna hit the air.
Speaker 1: He's gonna hear it, sister instinct. What do you think
Speaker 1: went wrong?
Speaker 8: I feel like there was probably a misunderstanding of some
Speaker 8: kind at dinner. I don't know what it could be,
Speaker 8: but Vita seemed so into him that it just doesn't
Speaker 8: make sense.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. What was her name?
Speaker 8: Vita? Like, don't cry for me? Argentina?
Speaker 1: Okay, the coconut water, Yeah, the coconut.
Speaker 4: All right. So she sounds a little bit foreign.
Speaker 7: Maybe she needs like a spicier guy in her life,
Speaker 7: not sweet Ben. Well, she did go to Italy for
Speaker 7: a while, that's true.
Speaker 2: If she's also a shy person, this may be really overwhelming.
Speaker 5: Well again, then we won't air it.
Speaker 7: I know, well, I'm excited to find out when we
Speaker 7: come back. We call Vita for on behalf of Stacy's
Speaker 7: brother again, Ben, I'm sweet, Ben, I forget. We'll see
Speaker 7: see why she was acting so awkward at the end
Speaker 7: of their day when we come back and get it
Speaker 7: with your second date update right after this hold.
Speaker 6: On Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning Second date updates.
Speaker 7: Behind every sweet shy boy is a proud, well spoken
Speaker 7: sister ready to go to bat on his behalf sister.
Speaker 1: Says our own shy boy.
Speaker 7: And that's why Stacy reached out to us because she
Speaker 7: wingmanned her brother Ben recently at a speed dating event
Speaker 7: and watched him walk out the door with a pretty woman,
Speaker 7: watched chemistry happen it Sweet Benjamin, he wants to write
Speaker 7: it out that event and took her straight to dinner,
Speaker 7: where apparently things probably went wrong. We don't know exactly
Speaker 7: what happened there, but according to what Stacy has heard
Speaker 7: from her brother several times, as he was walking her
Speaker 7: back to her car, she said to him, you know,
Speaker 7: you don't have to walk with me, which is not
Speaker 7: a good sign. Ye never said thank you and just
Speaker 7: waved goodbye at him before she left, and Stacy demands answers.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean Stacy's trying to help out.
Speaker 7: Is ready to hit someone if someone doesn't explain what
Speaker 7: went on?
Speaker 5: Right?
Speaker 8: Slow down, Oh, you are not wrong. I am ready to.
Speaker 1: Stacy.
Speaker 4: I knew it.
Speaker 8: Do you know?
Speaker 1: We never asked.
Speaker 2: Did Vita find out that you were at the speed
Speaker 2: dating event?
Speaker 8: I don't know if she did.
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm just wondering, but it did occur to me.
Speaker 8: That could be a weird thing, right.
Speaker 2: Some people that may not sit right, especially if they're
Speaker 2: not close with their sibling.
Speaker 1: They don't understand that the.
Speaker 7: Way that Ben may have brought it up at dinner
Speaker 7: could be you know, yeah, I took my sister to
Speaker 7: the speed dating events, and that could be kind of awkward.
Speaker 1: My husband often says, I married my sister.
Speaker 2: I'm like, no, you officiated the wedding, honey, different, I
Speaker 2: said the SAS's wedding.
Speaker 7: Yea. How you say the words matters a lot. Let's
Speaker 7: find out what happened. We don't know, so the only
Speaker 7: way to find out is if Vita picks up the
Speaker 7: phone and actually comes clean with it.
Speaker 4: So let's do it. I'm gonna dial the number. Here
Speaker 4: we go. Hello, Hey, we're looking to speak with Vita.
Speaker 9: Yes, this is her.
Speaker 7: Hey Vita, thanks for answering. We're a radio show. We're
Speaker 7: called Brook and Jeffrey in the Morning.
Speaker 5: Hi Vita, good morning. I like your name.
Speaker 9: Hi, thank you.
Speaker 1: You sound really outgoings not you?
Speaker 8: Thank you? Guys.
Speaker 9: What's up?
Speaker 7: Yeah, we're really eager to talk to you because we
Speaker 7: heard you.
Speaker 4: Went out with a guy we kind of know, Benjamin.
Speaker 7: His name is ben as a friend of ours. You
Speaker 7: guys went on a speed date. That's where you met,
Speaker 7: and then went on a dinner date afterwards.
Speaker 8: Yeah, the pity date.
Speaker 4: What how would you say that for us?
Speaker 9: Well, like at the speed date, he was just like
Speaker 9: borderline crying about how he hasn't been out with a woman.
Speaker 9: I was like, Okay, well I guess let's just go
Speaker 9: after this.
Speaker 1: Are you exaggerating a little bit? I mean maybe he
Speaker 1: was just maybe.
Speaker 4: Maybe his eyes.
Speaker 1: Walk us through the crying part.
Speaker 13: I mean it's not crying, but like just like borderline,
Speaker 13: like tears and sulky. But you know, he wasn't creepy,
Speaker 13: so like I knew like he would be safe to
Speaker 13: go out with.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I hate that these are our boundaries as women.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'll take some free dinner from this sweet not
Speaker 7: creepy guy, and then I'll ghost him forever.
Speaker 1: Well, maybe she took him out. Did you pay?
Speaker 8: No? He paid?
Speaker 4: Okay, well like a gentleman.
Speaker 2: But yeah, when you when you said yes to dinner,
Speaker 2: did you tell him like, fine, take me out? Like
Speaker 2: was it obvious that it was a pity date or
Speaker 2: did he think you were actually into it?
Speaker 9: I mean, he couldn't have thought that I was too
Speaker 9: into it, Like I didn't seem like overly enthusiastic about it.
Speaker 8: I was just like, Okay, well let's go to dinner.
Speaker 7: That's not quite the review that we heard. We were
Speaker 7: under the impression there was more chemistry between you two.
Speaker 4: At the speed dating.
Speaker 1: Never you had lived in Italy. He had lived in Italy.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he had arms. You had arms. You touched your
Speaker 4: arm with his arm.
Speaker 9: I remember on the speed date, I kept touching his
Speaker 9: hand because he had like peanut butter on it or something.
Speaker 2: Like that made me not want to touch it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, just eating bumps on a log.
Speaker 8: So it was pretty pathetic.
Speaker 5: Oh, I feel like he's adorable because he's a pathetic.
Speaker 1: Here's the thing. You never gave him a chance. It
Speaker 1: sounds like.
Speaker 9: I went to freaking dinner with him.
Speaker 8: What do you mean I did give him a chance.
Speaker 2: He'd already written in your mind that it was a
Speaker 2: pity date, you know, like once you pity someone you
Speaker 2: can't like, there's no respect there.
Speaker 5: Yeah, even if he does something cool, it's hard to
Speaker 5: break out a pity.
Speaker 4: Well, did he do something cool?
Speaker 8: Like?
Speaker 4: Was he was at least and respectful during your dinner date?
Speaker 9: He was fine, but just like anything like once you
Speaker 9: get the ick with somebody, like and you know what,
Speaker 9: Like he couldn't even order his own dinner, like I
Speaker 9: had to pick his meal for him, like mother, like
Speaker 9: the price, he didn't ask me to cut up his food.
Speaker 5: Awkward, Yeah, or.
Speaker 4: Just maybe nervous around a really pretty woman.
Speaker 13: A pretty woman out to dinner, you should at least
Speaker 13: be able to, like order for yourself.
Speaker 5: I'm taking you to the nicest place in the city.
Speaker 1: It's going to look good. He's on the phone.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, we do.
Speaker 7: Because here's the deal, Vita, we kind of have a
Speaker 7: surprise for you because Ben is not on the phone
Speaker 7: with us right now.
Speaker 4: His sister, Stacy, however.
Speaker 13: Is are you kidding me?
Speaker 2: I'm not.
Speaker 7: She was the one who reached out looking to get
Speaker 7: answers on Ben's behalf.
Speaker 4: So she wants to talk to you.
Speaker 13: I think, Stacy, how dare you?
Speaker 12: You are an absolute monster of a human And I
Speaker 12: am so grateful, so grateful that my brother is not
Speaker 12: going on a second date with you, and I cannot.
Speaker 9: You typically he can't even like call the radio station himself.
Speaker 12: He has you.
Speaker 8: He can't call the radio station himself because he's so
Speaker 8: used to women like you causing these kinds of problems.
Speaker 1: You see you so what, let's take a deep breath.
Speaker 1: But she didn't know you were listening.
Speaker 2: She didn't know, like she wasn't trying to hurt anybody's feelings.
Speaker 2: I understand it was probably hard to hear it.
Speaker 8: It was harsh, But you know what, if she didn't
Speaker 8: like him, why did she pick him for the date?
Speaker 8: Why was he the one you have to pick a person.
Speaker 9: I didn't want him to bust out flying like I
Speaker 9: was literally just like the dog a bone.
Speaker 5: Oh it sounds rude, but she was trying to help.
Speaker 10: You were not trying to help? Are you kidding me?
Speaker 13: This wanted a frizzy.
Speaker 10: You literally said it, You literally said it in the call.
Speaker 1: What did she say?
Speaker 10: She said she was not interested, and that she went
Speaker 10: out with him anyway. She called it a pity date,
Speaker 10: and I swear to God if I her pity date
Speaker 10: one more time.
Speaker 2: Okay, Okay, I agree, Vita is saying some not nice things.
Speaker 1: But stacy, maybe like, even though it's a pity date,
Speaker 1: maybe your brother doesn't have to know. You know, it's
Speaker 1: like getting a job when you already have a job.
Speaker 2: Is easier, like going on another date when you know
Speaker 2: you've been on one.
Speaker 1: Maybe it's a boost of confidence he needs.
Speaker 5: Let him break up with her.
Speaker 8: Y'all are spinning this in a way that you're trying
Speaker 8: to get her off the hook. And how dare you
Speaker 8: treat a kind man like that?
Speaker 4: Exactly broke? How dare you treat a kind man like your.
Speaker 1: Brother was like crying during the.
Speaker 10: Speed I was sitting right there. He was absolutely not crying.
Speaker 12: He was engaging in the conversation.
Speaker 9: Yeah, a little too engaged, just like a little too emotional.
Speaker 13: And then and then I did her like what adult
Speaker 13: cannot place their own suit order?
Speaker 10: You know what I've heard enough, You've already said all
Speaker 10: of these things, and you have absolutely made the worst
Speaker 10: decision of your life. You would be lucky to date
Speaker 10: someone like my brother.
Speaker 9: Sister, you should go out with your brother like.
Speaker 4: Okay, I know we should do more brother sister second
Speaker 4: updates because this is awesome.
Speaker 5: My sister will call a girl yell at her.
Speaker 1: Brother. Stacy, could you maybe see that you guys.
Speaker 2: Like your family's may be coddling your brother a little
Speaker 2: bit too much, like you're calling as.
Speaker 8: This isn't about my brother anymore. This is about that woman,
Speaker 8: that toxic woman and her behavior.
Speaker 4: I know Brook is not the most pleasant.
Speaker 10: I'm talking about Vita because what she did to that
Speaker 10: sweet boy, regardless of what he's.
Speaker 1: A grown man.
Speaker 8: Lord, that sweet boy needs to grow up.
Speaker 10: Yeah, and you need to find a soul, you harpy.
Speaker 5: Oh, I'm not sure.
Speaker 4: It hurts though.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 7: It's at this point in the call where we always
Speaker 7: offer to send the couple.
Speaker 4: Out on another date and we would pay for it.
Speaker 7: So at this point, Vita, I feel like there's a
Speaker 7: chance that we could have all three of you meet
Speaker 7: up one more time to work out your differences and
Speaker 7: all order food for each other.
Speaker 13: No, I think I'm going to pass on that one.
Speaker 4: So you're passing with Stacy, but not on her brother.
Speaker 4: You're still open to Ben on both of them.
Speaker 9: I'm good.
Speaker 13: And Stacy, I don't appreciate you calling me names.
Speaker 8: Your brother should grow the up.
Speaker 1: Maybe a hard truth, Maybe.
Speaker 8: He should, But at least he won't be alone for
Speaker 8: the rest of his life because he'll have.
Speaker 7: Yeah, okay, I think she meant that as a dig
Speaker 7: ta vita, but I worry that might actually happen where
Speaker 7: Big Sis is actually going to end up becoming Sweet
Speaker 7: Benjamin's mommy, ordering him smiley faced pancakes off the I
Speaker 7: Hop menu for the rest of his life.
Speaker 5: Don't hate those.
Speaker 7: Oh sorry, it's kind of sweet.
Speaker 6: You're right, brook and Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 7: I don't know why during the call, I just I
Speaker 7: had this weird image in my mind. But do you
Speaker 7: think that during intimacy, Sweet ben shyly raises his hand
Speaker 7: and asks the woman to help him put on his prophylactic.
Speaker 4: Oh excuse me hand?
Speaker 7: Oh wow, yeah, I mean he couldn't order his own dinner.
Speaker 7: He had peanut butter all over his arm. I'm starting
Speaker 7: to see what Brooks saw during their conversation.
Speaker 1: I might not say that nobody pictured that you were there.
Speaker 7: Oh, I was jumping straight to the ends.
Speaker 5: I can't imagine any of it.
Speaker 7: I'm gonna hate to admit Vita actually made a good point.
Speaker 7: If he really wanted a second date with her, he
Speaker 7: should have.
Speaker 4: Been the one that called.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, that's kind of all the dates.
Speaker 2: That's the problem is, Like I understand that it can
Speaker 2: be probably really hard if you're socially anxious, but also
Speaker 2: you can't have somebody hold your hand the whole time either.
Speaker 7: Yeah, are you practicing the speech to give to your
Speaker 7: son a few years.
Speaker 1: Dude, I already tell my kids.
Speaker 2: I'm like, listen, Mommy's not going to be around to
Speaker 2: cut your meat when you're on a date someday that
Speaker 2: it's going to be real embarrassing.
Speaker 5: So learn to ask your date.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a real man.
Speaker 7: But look, we can help you out with your dating
Speaker 7: life or help you out with your brother or sister's
Speaker 7: dating life.
Speaker 1: Let's not offer that again.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean I thought it was fine, But if
Speaker 7: you need help, reach out to the show and we
Speaker 7: can call that person who's not calling you back. Go
Speaker 7: check out all of our second date updates. They're online
Speaker 7: where you get your podcast at Brook and Jeffrey
