Speaker 1: All right, it's always a special treat when we get
Speaker 1: a check in from one of our Second Date Update couples.
Speaker 1: Welcome to the podcast. It's Brook and Jeffrey, the home
Speaker 1: of the Second Date Update. And this is one of
Speaker 1: the favorites of the last year, right, like, yeah, we
Speaker 1: went back and looked at the comments from when we
Speaker 1: originally posted this podcast and it was insane.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and all of them are so sweet. Someone said,
Speaker 2: Jared said, this episode is healing.
Speaker 1: Someone said this is so wholesoun so awesome. So the
Speaker 1: way the updates work is we will play the original
Speaker 1: call with the couple so that you can be caught
Speaker 1: up with what happened and the adorable wholesome cut. Yes, yes, yes,
Speaker 1: At the very end of the podcast, we get the
Speaker 1: couple back on the phone and see what's happened since
Speaker 1: being on the show.
Speaker 3: So don't skip ahead too far.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, yeah, or turn it off too.
Speaker 1: Early, right, you got to stay at the end on
Speaker 1: this one. It's your update update.
Speaker 2: Right now, Second Date Update Date.
Speaker 4: You know the saying it's a tract I don't know
Speaker 4: if that's really true, at least not in today's call.
Speaker 1: Okay, I mean it typically is But why do you.
Speaker 4: Say because the woman on the phone said that her
Speaker 4: and her date both have blonde hair, they both enjoy
Speaker 4: chocolate pudding, and they both have the same mother.
Speaker 2: How crazy is that?
Speaker 5: That's gross?
Speaker 2: I mean, okay, I don't know about the last one.
Speaker 4: I may I may have slept that in that, but
Speaker 4: it would be an interesting twist if that turned out
Speaker 4: to be the case.
Speaker 5: That's not the word.
Speaker 1: That's not the word I'd use. Illegal.
Speaker 4: We draw the line at cousin stuff on this show,
Speaker 4: But please welcome Justine to the program.
Speaker 2: Hey, Justine, and.
Speaker 1: You do realize the same mother makes you siblings, even
Speaker 1: not cousins.
Speaker 2: Only by blood brook.
Speaker 4: So, Justine, you said in your email that you bonded
Speaker 4: with this guy because you had a lot of similarities.
Speaker 2: What similarities did you notice?
Speaker 6: Well, we're both really quiet.
Speaker 2: I can see that talk softer during this what's his name?
Speaker 2: By the way, his name is Ken?
Speaker 1: Okay, how did you meet him?
Speaker 6: We met it the bank at the bank.
Speaker 2: Why do you have to go into a bank?
Speaker 1: Like?
Speaker 6: Who does that anymore?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I think it's interesting that two quiet people would meet
Speaker 1: in person like.
Speaker 2: Who from too?
Speaker 6: Well? Actually, we were both filling out paperwork side by side,
Speaker 6: and I asked him to borrow his pen. But I
Speaker 6: didn't even like say words.
Speaker 1: I just was like, just hold your hand out like
Speaker 1: you pointed with a nice smile.
Speaker 6: Yeah, exactly, And that's kind of how it got started.
Speaker 6: It was pretty sweet.
Speaker 2: That's kind of cute. You're both cute though. Yeah, so
Speaker 2: what did you guys do when you went out?
Speaker 6: We wound up going to this little Mediterranean place, and
Speaker 6: like we were texting before we went, and we agreed
Speaker 6: to each bring notebooks, so we just wrote each other
Speaker 6: notes at dinner. Very fun for.
Speaker 2: You, cut.
Speaker 5: For me.
Speaker 2: But this is adorable?
Speaker 1: Was it? The whole time he wrote notes?
Speaker 6: I mean, we talked to the waiter, okay.
Speaker 4: Okay, but for the rest of the time you two
Speaker 4: tried to stay quiet and just enjoy and soak up
Speaker 4: each other's silence.
Speaker 1: Well no, no, they shared information still, but yeah, but quiet.
Speaker 2: Quietly in their way. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I bet there's a lot of smiles every time the
Speaker 3: note passed back, though.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it sounds hot like we wound up laughing the
Speaker 6: whole time, Like we really enjoyed each other's company, which
Speaker 6: is kind of awesome. But there was a mistake The
Speaker 6: waiter brought out only one meal at first, and it
Speaker 6: was what I had ordered it, but they put it
Speaker 6: down in front of Ken, and so he started eating
Speaker 6: and I was like, I wrote a note and I said, no,
Speaker 6: that's mine, and here are back mine?
Speaker 4: What?
Speaker 1: Oh no, I'm not.
Speaker 2: E didn't say not anymore right, So.
Speaker 6: It made us laugh. We both laughed a lot. It
Speaker 6: was really fun. Did you get food? I worried, Thanks
Speaker 6: for worrying. Yeah, okay, he gave me back my dinner
Speaker 6: and then his showed up.
Speaker 3: Like a challenge to not talk that what almost sounds
Speaker 3: like it to break it first sounds like a challenge
Speaker 3: to them would be to talk.
Speaker 4: Yeah, like for certain people, like talking is a big struggle,
Speaker 4: but like this is the perfect date for two people
Speaker 4: that are kind of shy and introverted.
Speaker 1: You guys shared the last kiss by just drawing lips
Speaker 1: on two pieces of paper and puting them together.
Speaker 6: That's funny, but.
Speaker 2: No, so tell us after the quiet dinner, how did
Speaker 2: the date end?
Speaker 6: It didn't And the dinner, which was kind of nice,
Speaker 6: really got ice cream and we were people watching and
Speaker 6: I pulled out my notebook and said we should do
Speaker 6: this again sometime, and he wrote yes, but that was
Speaker 6: like more than two weeks ago. Well that's not true.
Speaker 6: It's almost two weeks ago.
Speaker 2: I guess almost two weeks. Okay, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I feel like this guy is going to be a
Speaker 1: slow mover just from the vibe he's given. No, No,
Speaker 1: it's just who he is, said a letter in the mail.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's.
Speaker 1: Like, I don't think I would be worried that he
Speaker 1: hadn't contacted you in two weeks.
Speaker 4: You guys literally do sound like an old married couple
Speaker 4: with Like you guys go to the bank. You guys
Speaker 4: write each other notes, enjoy each other's silence, and sit
Speaker 4: on a park bench eating ice cream together.
Speaker 3: Sounds like you guys just text, though obviously you're not
Speaker 3: on the phone a lot.
Speaker 6: I mean I sent him a text.
Speaker 2: Okay, that must have been a struggle for you.
Speaker 6: Though, you guys are making me bless. I can't believe
Speaker 6: how hard my cheeks are burning.
Speaker 1: Ok I'm just going to say real quick, I am
Speaker 1: really impressed that you're doing this, because you are really
Speaker 1: putting yourself in a place that isn't a comfortable zone
Speaker 1: for you.
Speaker 6: That's cool, and that's actually the deal is, Like I
Speaker 6: feel like, I need your help because it's so awkward
Speaker 6: to call him, and you guys are so good at
Speaker 6: the talking.
Speaker 2: I don't know if we're good at talking, but we
Speaker 2: can do a lot of an awkward Tuesday. Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2: So we're gonna come back.
Speaker 4: We're gonna call quiet Ken for you and see if
Speaker 4: we can silently get him to agree to another date.
Speaker 2: We're gonna do it right after this. Hold on thank
Speaker 2: second date update.
Speaker 1: You're in the middle of a second date update update,
Speaker 1: and we're gonna find out how the couple is doing
Speaker 1: right after you here part two.
Speaker 4: We probably just met one of the sweetest people that
Speaker 4: we've ever had on this show before.
Speaker 2: Her I hope not. Her name is Justine.
Speaker 4: She is quiet, she's kind sounding, she's got a very
Speaker 4: genuine laugh. It made us all feel good about ourselves
Speaker 4: no matter what we said.
Speaker 2: I mean, honestly, that's so rare.
Speaker 4: If we get this guy Ken on the phone and
Speaker 4: he says something rude or disrespectful about.
Speaker 3: Her, hang up.
Speaker 4: I'm just letting you I am treating her like a
Speaker 4: little sister to our show, and I'm going to be
Speaker 4: standing up for her hardcore.
Speaker 3: Are you fighting them?
Speaker 1: I don't know if she wants to be a little sister.
Speaker 2: But no, I'm just saying I'm in her corner.
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, got it, got it.
Speaker 4: And I mean it already sounds like her heart is
Speaker 4: breaking because who goes on a silent date and has
Speaker 4: a great time Justine and this guy Apparently the only
Speaker 4: communication that was had the entire time was to be
Speaker 4: a handwritten note. So we need to figure out how
Speaker 4: to get him on the line and figure out why
Speaker 4: he is not jumping to get on another date.
Speaker 1: With her, honestly, like, he can't have a multitude of
Speaker 1: options here.
Speaker 2: This is a guy who barely talks. Okay, this is
Speaker 2: her future husband that you're talking. I don't it in
Speaker 2: a midway.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying he's not out there being a player,
Speaker 1: you know, like he's got out running game because he
Speaker 1: can't pass notes to just any hot lady that walks by.
Speaker 4: It's not like he's just just Justine.
Speaker 2: Do you want to defend your man.
Speaker 1: That she knows what I mean?
Speaker 5: Right? Maybe?
Speaker 6: Though?
Speaker 3: Okay, how did you just walk into a library and
Speaker 3: rise up everyone in silence?
Speaker 2: It's possible. I mean, he could be like a silent Casanova.
Speaker 3: Book Mark so.
Speaker 1: Many hot singles at the library.
Speaker 2: All Right, just stay quiet, Justine.
Speaker 4: I know you're not gonna have any trouble with that,
Speaker 4: but we're gonna call him and talk to you.
Speaker 3: I'm worried what she tries to pipe in, we're not
Speaker 3: gonna hear.
Speaker 2: We'll call you in time. We'll make it obvious.
Speaker 6: Okay, thank you.
Speaker 2: All right, hold on, here we go.
Speaker 6: Hello.
Speaker 2: Hey, is this ken?
Speaker 7: Uh? Yeah? Speaking?
Speaker 2: I can't they can?
Speaker 7: Good morning can, good morning.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: You're probably hearing a lot of voices right now, and
Speaker 4: that's because you're on the radio with Brooke and Jeffrey
Speaker 4: in the morning.
Speaker 7: Why what what? Sorry?
Speaker 1: What?
Speaker 6: Who?
Speaker 7: You call them?
Speaker 4: Yeah? We don't want to overwhelm you, but we're doing
Speaker 4: a segment here. It's called second Date Update, and one
Speaker 4: of our listeners asked us to reach out to you
Speaker 4: because you went on an awesome date with her the
Speaker 4: other day.
Speaker 1: Well she thought it was awesome.
Speaker 4: She'd yeah, we all thought it was awesome too, because
Speaker 4: we heard a little bit about it.
Speaker 2: We're talking about Justine.
Speaker 7: Yeah, huh huh yeah.
Speaker 1: I think you guys went out almost two weeks ago.
Speaker 4: That is correct, Okay, okay, I mean she told us
Speaker 4: about the day that you two hung out, and it
Speaker 4: sounded pretty unique, at least for us, because we do
Speaker 4: a lot of these calls. We haven't heard a lot
Speaker 4: of dates where two people go out and stay quiet
Speaker 4: and actually enjoy it.
Speaker 7: I I'm so sorry, just one second.
Speaker 1: You okay, I don't know, Maybes at work or something.
Speaker 2: He's nervous. He going up right now. There is a
Speaker 2: lot of talking.
Speaker 3: In a library. The librarians.
Speaker 2: Okay, hey, Ken.
Speaker 1: Sorry, So look, it sounds like you're busy right now.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we don't want to like take up too much
Speaker 4: of your time. But bottom line is, Justine says she
Speaker 4: had a great time. The question is she's not getting
Speaker 4: any signals back that you wanted to hang out again,
Speaker 4: and she's kind of disappointed by that.
Speaker 7: I am, I kind of I don't want to hang
Speaker 7: out again.
Speaker 6: What, oh, buddy?
Speaker 5: Why?
Speaker 7: I mean, we were passing notes, right, we were talking
Speaker 7: about ourselves, and I started running out of things to say.
Speaker 1: I mean, it would be a lot to write, because yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: and it.
Speaker 3: Is hard when there's a lull in conversation to force
Speaker 3: a question. Yeah, the first couple are okay, but by
Speaker 3: the third or fourth you're like.
Speaker 1: So you shouldn't feel bad. That happens on all first dates.
Speaker 7: I like, I get that. You guys don't understand. I
Speaker 7: literally told everything about myself.
Speaker 4: Oh you ran out of things to like reveal about
Speaker 4: on the on the first date.
Speaker 2: That should be impossible.
Speaker 7: Bro books, movies, interests, foods.
Speaker 1: But there's more.
Speaker 2: People than what you lie.
Speaker 1: And I mean, I don't think you're giving yourself credit.
Speaker 7: I think you're giving me too much.
Speaker 2: I've got to be middle. You might surprise.
Speaker 4: I can understand you feel a little bit nervous and intimidated,
Speaker 4: But what are you worried about? Like, what's the harm
Speaker 4: in seeing her again?
Speaker 7: I am I'm worried she's gonna find out I'm not
Speaker 7: just quiet like she is and boring.
Speaker 2: Boring. That just broke my little heart. You're not boring
Speaker 2: when you do another date. That's what you talk about.
Speaker 2: The whole date is the activity, like a new topic.
Speaker 2: You know, just what happened in the last Yeah, exactly you.
Speaker 3: I'm just always going to replay their Yea.
Speaker 4: You are just the calm in a world full of chaos.
Speaker 4: We need people like you. You balance out all us idiots.
Speaker 4: And it doesn't matter if you think that you're boring
Speaker 4: or you're not enough. Somebody that believes that your plenty
Speaker 4: is Justine, and don't just trust me. She's on the
Speaker 4: other line right now waiting to talk to you.
Speaker 2: This is pretty bold, Justine, are you there?
Speaker 7: I'm here, you kidding me?
Speaker 1: Right now?
Speaker 6: She's been listening.
Speaker 2: He's about to have a heart attack.
Speaker 7: Justine, I am so sorry.
Speaker 6: I can't because it was my idea. I was too
Speaker 6: nervous to call you, and I called somebody who could,
Speaker 6: and these sweet people have I didn't. We didn't mean
Speaker 6: to scare you.
Speaker 2: Sweet in this room.
Speaker 6: It feels like maybe it backfired.
Speaker 7: No, no, not at all. I'm really glad to move
Speaker 7: from you.
Speaker 6: Oh my god.
Speaker 3: I feel like if we wouldn't have gotten involved, they
Speaker 3: would have never talked to each other.
Speaker 1: Us.
Speaker 2: We may are amazing contacted us.
Speaker 4: Look, I understand that you're really nervous ken about talking
Speaker 4: to her and coming across a certain way. I think
Speaker 4: the pressure of being in a quiet setting is a lot.
Speaker 4: I think the next date that you go on like
Speaker 4: you're just in the wrong venue. Do something that's loud,
Speaker 4: go to a sporting event, like go to a comedy
Speaker 4: show where there's other stuff to point at and talk.
Speaker 2: About rather than just sitting quietly together.
Speaker 6: Comedy show would be so fun.
Speaker 1: It would be fun. Would that be fun for you?
Speaker 5: Ken?
Speaker 7: That sounds like it would happen.
Speaker 2: Okay, comedy does happen?
Speaker 6: Yeah, see what she's so funny.
Speaker 4: Look, the whole goal of this is to set you
Speaker 4: guys up on another date and lock that down, and
Speaker 4: we would pay for it. So justine, now that you
Speaker 4: know how he feels, you still want to go out
Speaker 4: with him again very much?
Speaker 2: Okay, Okay, did you hear that?
Speaker 1: Like that's got to feel good?
Speaker 3: Right? Did you hang up?
Speaker 7: Hello?
Speaker 6: Ken?
Speaker 7: I'm sorry I dropped my phone. Sounds it sounds creepy.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 4: We will send you guys out on another day and
Speaker 4: we're gonna pay for it.
Speaker 7: Okay, awesome, Thank you so much.
Speaker 6: I'm so grateful you guys.
Speaker 3: Okay, it just makes me want to go to the
Speaker 3: other room and shout cat.
Speaker 2: Cat, Cat cat cat. Okay, see it feels good.
Speaker 7: That's a little terrifying.
Speaker 4: Okay, So we should have whisked away for out of
Speaker 4: my bad Yeah.
Speaker 2: An, We're just gonna hang.
Speaker 7: Out freaking Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 4: Maybe one of the sweetest second date calls that we've
Speaker 4: ever done.
Speaker 2: On the show.
Speaker 1: I have been dying.
Speaker 4: All of our listeners have been asking for months to
Speaker 4: get an update on this, and now we've got him back.
Speaker 2: Welcome Ken and Justine back to the show. How's it going, guys?
Speaker 8: Justine isn't here right now.
Speaker 7: It's just Ken.
Speaker 2: Wait it said that you guys were both going to
Speaker 2: be on the call.
Speaker 8: Yeah, well, we had dinner with her parents last night

Speaker 7: element right now. She is here though.
Speaker 2: Wait, does that mean you guys are still together?
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's been going great.
Speaker 2: Honestly, Where is she?
Speaker 7: So, she's on the other side of the door. She's

Speaker 1: Yes? Okay?

Speaker 7: Yes?

Speaker 5: want to know if we're happy, not one, if the
Speaker 5: relationship is going well, not twice?
