Speaker 4: remind everybody we're all human, of course, despite what you
Speaker 4: may hear on the show, and we've all been betrayed
Speaker 4: by our bodies before. Yeah, just like last week when
Speaker 4: I walked into the break room right after Alexis was
Speaker 4: in there and who had to bring in an industrial
Speaker 4: fan just to air that?
Speaker 5: Baby?
Speaker 4: Why condensation on the glass on the fridge?
Speaker 2: Wow?
Speaker 3: Is better without you? Okay, Alexis, don't feel bad. I
Speaker 3: smoke that too, dude, I know.

Speaker 4: Because one of them had a date that made her
Speaker 4: laugh so hard something embarrassing slipped down. It's much different
Speaker 4: than the bomb. Alexis our listener. She's worried if could
Speaker 4: be the reason they're not getting a callback.
Speaker 3: You're here, your number nine second date update of the.
Speaker 4: Year, The second date Update, Brook, Your husband is a
Speaker 4: collector of sports cards.
Speaker 1: He loves them. Are you kidding me?
Speaker 4: Does that make you more attracted to him? Or super
Speaker 4: more attracted?
Speaker 1: When he pulls out that Michael Jordan Rookie card.
Speaker 2: Gosh, if only it wasn't rated a three.
Speaker 3: I don't know what that is.
Speaker 2: Actually, I think it's a one because he wrote his
Speaker 2: initials on it when he was seven years old.
Speaker 3: That you just rubbed that card.
Speaker 1: All over because it doesn't matter much as.
Speaker 4: I bring it up because one of our listeners says
Speaker 4: that the guy that she went out with mentioned that
Speaker 4: he is a collector of items, and it stopped.
Speaker 3: Her in her track.
Speaker 4: We'll find out more about that in just a second,

Speaker 4: Well, let's go chronologically then before we get to the
Speaker 4: collecting of stuff, tell us more about Ethan and what
Speaker 4: attracted you to him.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so initially, his one liner joke to me about
Speaker 5: he was the world's okayist cook and he had a
Speaker 5: picture of grilled cheese.
Speaker 4: The fact that he could cook at all, even if
Speaker 4: it is just okay, it's impressive.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean it's a cute line, and it's an
Speaker 2: easy way to then transition to let me cook you
Speaker 2: something mid.
Speaker 6: Setting a standard.
Speaker 3: Okay. So did your date involve cooking?
Speaker 5: It did not?
Speaker 3: No, okay, all right, So tell us about what happened.

Speaker 5: so you know, low standards.
Speaker 3: Sure, all right, and how was the chemistry between you
Speaker 3: and Ethan?
Speaker 5: It was really good. He was super funny, super sweet.
Speaker 5: He held a door, he was like pulling out my.
Speaker 6: Chair like that. Yeah.
Speaker 5: No, I'm old school, like I think people.
Speaker 1: Being polite is probably is pretty well received.
Speaker 4: Well I slam the door in their face. We all
Speaker 4: have different styles of Okay, so he.
Speaker 1: Does that to me to this studio honestly, like learn
Speaker 1: to open the door for someone.
Speaker 3: Well, I don't want to like get in the way
Speaker 3: of your womanhood and do anything like that. So I'm
Speaker 3: just trying to equal. We're equal in the work, that
Speaker 3: is all I'm saying. So okay.
Speaker 4: So but you you thought that he was being a
Speaker 4: real gentleman on this date with you, Carly.
Speaker 5: I did for sure.
Speaker 2: Okay, So this is all sounding great. Was there something
Speaker 2: like you said the collection thing?
Speaker 1: When did that come into play?
Speaker 5: Well, he just randomly was like, I collect rubbert duck.
Speaker 3: Okay, that's the item that.
Speaker 1: He collected owners one of those people.
Speaker 3: That's a great idea.
Speaker 2: Rubber ducks are huge right now. There is every type
Speaker 2: of rubber duck.
Speaker 4: Ever, Okay, how did you feel about it, Carly?
Speaker 5: I was kind of like weirded out. I was like what,
Speaker 5: and then he said he keeps them for emotional support,
Speaker 5: which makes.
Speaker 1: It less weird.
Speaker 3: I didn't know that you could do that.
Speaker 1: Was that a joke?
Speaker 5: Yeah, he was like it was a joke. He was
Speaker 5: just kidding everyone.
Speaker 1: Everyone's trying not to judge.
Speaker 4: We all just a big sigh of relief, all right, Okay,
Speaker 4: although just to be clear, there's nothing wrong with having
Speaker 4: emotional support ducks.
Speaker 3: If anybody out there rubber ducks, yes, it is totally support.
Speaker 2: Okay, but that was a joke, but the rubber ducks
Speaker 2: were real.
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, he has rubber ducks, all right, And.
Speaker 1: So why is this a big part of the date?
Speaker 1: Like he mentioned it?
Speaker 3: Is it?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 5: He had some like super funny one liners like that one,
Speaker 5: and I laughed so hard that I snored in and
Speaker 5: he kind of looked at me like really crazy when
Speaker 5: I did, and I was like, but.
Speaker 1: You can't control it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's just like a what does you think you
Speaker 4: think it's too unattractive that it's a deal breaker.
Speaker 5: I don't know. Listen. He still walked me to my
Speaker 5: car and like kissed me and everything. The texting is
Speaker 5: just not the same, Like I'm just getting those like
Speaker 5: little texts here and there, and he's just kind of
Speaker 5: putting no effort to little effort into things.
Speaker 2: I am obviously biased, but I think snorting is quite endearing.
Speaker 3: I'm also a weird last.
Speaker 4: So you're thinking that at the end of the night
Speaker 4: the kiss was a pity kiss. Oh no, even though
Speaker 4: like he didn't approve of your snort, he was like, okay,
Speaker 4: final still, just you know.
Speaker 5: I hope notis.
Speaker 1: You know, people have weird things.
Speaker 6: I thought, so I have a.
Speaker 2: Guy friend who won't date women depending on their thumb size,
Speaker 2: and like he thinks thumbs are really weird.
Speaker 1: They like creep him out for I.
Speaker 4: Think that's that is very very personal information to share
Speaker 4: about somebody.
Speaker 3: On the radio.
Speaker 4: Okay, okay, we're not trying to body shame anybody.
Speaker 1: Like some people have weird it.
Speaker 3: Don't call it weird, it's maybe yes.
Speaker 1: Well, and if it's that, then he's not the guy
Speaker 1: for you.
Speaker 4: Is it possible that he's not calling you back because
Speaker 4: you've got dragon thumbs? Brooks theory A phone with just
Speaker 4: your thumb look like it kind of looks like a
Speaker 4: big toe.
Speaker 3: Yeah, long claw.
Speaker 4: Let's just okay, enough about the dragon body parts.
Speaker 3: Let's call this Ethan guy.
Speaker 4: We'll see if he picks up, and we will ask
Speaker 4: him all the questions to figure out why he's not
Speaker 4: going out with you one more time. Carly, you're going
Speaker 4: to get your second date update right after this.
Speaker 3: Second date update. You're the one.
Speaker 5: If you're.
Speaker 3: Sorry, yeah, if you're just joining us.
Speaker 4: I'm playing this song because our listener Carly went out
Speaker 4: with a guy named Ethan who told her that he
Speaker 4: collects rubber ducks, and he made the joke that he
Speaker 4: keeps them as emotional support pets. Again, just a joke,
Speaker 4: but he does collect them, which begs the question, how
Speaker 4: bad do you feel when even the rubber duck guy
Speaker 4: won't call you back?
Speaker 1: Say it like that, she's a door.
Speaker 3: Do you consider this your rock bottom, Carly?
Speaker 2: I mean, if you're on this show, I think most
Speaker 2: people would say that that's the case.
Speaker 5: I feel pretty low, but not as low as you
Speaker 5: think I do.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's true. There is more phone call to come
Speaker 3: so we can.
Speaker 2: All you're supposed to hype our listeners up. Carly, you're
Speaker 2: amazing and you deserve a second date.
Speaker 4: We see how much she struggled to get that sent
Speaker 4: That was really inspired.
Speaker 1: I was going to bring up the snore. Maybe that's
Speaker 1: the reason he's not calling back.
Speaker 3: It is a good point.
Speaker 4: She did mention that she laughed so hard during the
Speaker 4: date that she snorted, and that could have been a
Speaker 4: turn off to Ethan.
Speaker 3: But we don't know. Which reminds me nobody be too
Speaker 3: funny during this.
Speaker 4: If she starts snorting and then Brook starts snorting, Oh yeah.
Speaker 5: You guys are funny, but as funny as him.
Speaker 4: All Right, well, that's really motivated me to try super
Speaker 4: hard for you. It's I can get one hundred percent
Speaker 4: effort into this. I'm dialing his number right now. Let's
Speaker 4: see if he picks up.
Speaker 5: Here we go, Thank you, guys, I really hope you
Speaker 5: can get another date for me.
Speaker 3: All right, let's see here we go. Hello, Hey, we're
Speaker 3: looking to talk with Ethan.
Speaker 6: Okay, this is Ethan.
Speaker 3: Hey, Ethan.
Speaker 1: There's a bunch of us here.
Speaker 6: Who's this Hello.
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's a radio show called Brook and Jeffrey in
Speaker 4: the Morning, a team, very dysfunctional team, and we're doing Yeah,
Speaker 4: we are together, and we're here doing a segment called
Speaker 4: a second Date Update.
Speaker 6: Oh okay, why are you calling me? What this is?
Speaker 1: I love when people ask that. Ye's just such a
Speaker 1: natural transition.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: So it's a segment where we help out listeners who've
Speaker 4: gone out on a date with somebody but the second
Speaker 4: date hasn't materialized yet.
Speaker 3: We try and figure out why if there's a reason.
Speaker 4: So, okay, we're doing that for one of our listeners
Speaker 4: that you went out with, named Carly.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Carly, I know, Carly, what does this mean?
Speaker 3: She mentioned you were a funny guy. It's coming across dude.
Speaker 5: No.
Speaker 2: I mean, honestly, from your response, it sounds like maybe
Speaker 2: you were planning on calling Carly back and going out
Speaker 2: with her again.
Speaker 6: Uh yeah, I mean are you serious? Am I really
Speaker 6: on the air talking about this?
Speaker 4: Yeah, segment we have based around dating it.
Speaker 1: You were just going to say, yeah, she still don't
Speaker 1: trust us.
Speaker 3: I know this is a weird situation to be in.
Speaker 4: But Carly is seriously confused because she says she had
Speaker 4: a great time with you, but she's not seeing the
Speaker 4: same amount of effort from you as she was before.
Speaker 3: The date, kind of like an energy shift. We're not
Speaker 3: sure if anything's changed.
Speaker 6: Well, that's surprising because I'm not trying to blow her off.
Speaker 6: We got a great time.
Speaker 1: Okay, that is so cute to hear. So you really
Speaker 1: liked her?
Speaker 6: Yeah, I thought she was great. She has a great
Speaker 6: laugh and we had a great time out.
Speaker 1: She was actually worried about that.
Speaker 3: So it sounds like you do want to go out
Speaker 3: with her again.
Speaker 6: Well, we were texting about when we were going to
Speaker 6: try to get together again. I mean, I'm really just
Speaker 6: surprised right now that she saw it that way that
Speaker 6: I was blowing her off.
Speaker 2: Oh you know how it can be and daty like
Speaker 2: God to like actually be positive and read everything in
Speaker 2: that way.
Speaker 3: As far, she doesn't know you well enough yet.
Speaker 1: She doesn't know if you're going to hit her up
Speaker 1: immediately or if a full day.
Speaker 3: Not hearing from you is gonna be a horrible thing.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 4: But everything that we're hearing right now sounds like you're
Speaker 4: into her.
Speaker 3: You want to see her again?
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, I think so.
Speaker 3: Okay, Actually, uh.
Speaker 6: You know, maybe I shouldn't be saying this. Don't don't
Speaker 6: tell her this, it's maybe too early. Uh. I kind
Speaker 6: of bought her perfume.
Speaker 5: You bought.
Speaker 3: That's interesting.
Speaker 1: That's cute. Like a travel size or full size bottle.
Speaker 3: You have a price tag that you can attach to it.
Speaker 3: This needs to know, you know, that's interested?
Speaker 4: Why?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 3: What made you do that? Is it like a birthday
Speaker 3: coming up for something?
Speaker 6: To be honest, my ex used to wear it and
Speaker 6: it kind of drove me crazy. Wild who.
Speaker 3: You bought it? Because it's the same as your ex'es bro.
Speaker 5: Like, I'm on the phone on the phone, I heard that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's Carly that's on the other line listening to this. Uh,
Speaker 4: that's how this works. We usually call her in.
Speaker 1: That is so weird.
Speaker 5: He didn't know even the same as your ex? Are
Speaker 5: you for real?
Speaker 6: I didn't know you were on Carley. I didn't know
Speaker 6: you were on.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, well I am. And that's disturbing, Like why, like, okay, seriously,
Speaker 5: Brooke Alexis, can you guys help me out on that?
Speaker 1: I mean, it could be worse. He could have bought
Speaker 1: it because it's what his mom smells.
Speaker 3: Like, Oh, that would have been sweeter.
Speaker 1: My mind did not even do that.
Speaker 3: Okay, I think it's a good question.
Speaker 4: Why why do you want Carly to be wearing that
Speaker 4: same perfume.
Speaker 3: Yea remind you of your ex?
Speaker 6: I like the sense. I thought she would smell grade
Speaker 6: with it on her.
Speaker 2: Okay, Okay, okay, maybe maybe there could be a different
Speaker 2: set though for Carly. You know, like, yes, like my guy,
Speaker 2: My husband is a sent guy. He loves sense like
Speaker 2: you just maybe need to explore a different set.
Speaker 3: Truck. Stop trying to change men with every sentence I say.
Speaker 1: Dude, that is disturbing. You do not want to remind it?
Speaker 4: Okay, I'm trying to read this and help you out here. Ethan,
Speaker 4: you're saying you didn't buy it because it reminds you
Speaker 4: of your ex. You buying it just because you like
Speaker 4: the scent itself.
Speaker 6: That's right, And this is not about my ex at all.
Speaker 6: She doesn't own the sense, she doesn't own the perfume.
Speaker 6: Anyone could buy it. I love the scent, and I
Speaker 6: thought Carley would smell great with an honor. That was
Speaker 6: a nice gesture, Carly.
Speaker 3: Are you hearing him?
Speaker 5: I'm trying. I'm really trying to be open about this.
Speaker 5: But like I also, I feel like when you smell
Speaker 5: a smell, you associate it with whoever was wearing it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but maybe you're a more powerful woman, and he'll
Speaker 2: start associating it with you instead of her.
Speaker 1: Did the sense on your body have different effects too?
Speaker 3: Literally, it could have been anybody.
Speaker 4: If his Maleman had been wearing the perfume, it would
Speaker 4: have driven him mad. I mean, I say back to
Speaker 4: here that like the scent is the number one connection
Speaker 4: to memories.
Speaker 2: Like okay, but but listen, he was never going to
Speaker 2: tell her that it was the ex's scent.
Speaker 6: Well, yeah, I thought I was just talking to you, guys.
Speaker 2: I mean, so technically we set them up for this,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean? Carly, like you got to
Speaker 2: give him a little bit.
Speaker 5: Of I feel you're You're not wrong. I agree with you, guys,
Speaker 5: I do think and when you put a cent on
Speaker 5: it does change like different body chemistries so fair enough, so.
Speaker 6: You'll wear it then? Because I really like it?
Speaker 3: Oh why don't like?
Speaker 1: I shouldn't have.
Speaker 3: Heard that question.
Speaker 4: Is that very very important to you if you're going
Speaker 4: to go out with her again?
Speaker 6: Like I said, guys, I really like it.
Speaker 5: You had me up until there. I don't know. Now
Speaker 5: I'm getting like creepy.
Speaker 3: Again.
Speaker 1: That's our fault. We're piling not yes, okay.
Speaker 4: We are the weirdos in this conversation, he is totally normal.
Speaker 4: I would spray another before he sprays that for a few.
Speaker 6: That's a great point. I could wear it so you
Speaker 6: could know it on me first.
Speaker 1: Wait, I don't think men with women is real hot.
Speaker 3: I'm starting to like this even more.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm very curious, just as an experiment to see
Speaker 4: how the second interaction would go between Carly and Ethan
Speaker 4: both wearing the same scent.
Speaker 1: She's gonna wear a cologne, now.
Speaker 3: Give some Georgia HARMANI, but really.
Speaker 5: Were my ex boyfriend's cologne.
Speaker 6: I'll wear it?
Speaker 2: Sure, Okay, all fair in love and sense.
Speaker 4: And the whole reason that we called you is to
Speaker 4: ask if you would see Carly one more time for
Speaker 4: a date, and we would pay for it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you need to ask a different set.
Speaker 6: I would love to see her again.
Speaker 3: You are okay?
Speaker 4: And Carly, are you still up for this even despite
Speaker 4: what you've heard?
Speaker 5: I guess so I'll give it.
Speaker 3: I'm a little bit surprised.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think we did a good job. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: thrilled for You've been here.
Speaker 4: On this one way better than if he had said
Speaker 4: she had dragon thumbs. So that's Yeah, this was actually
Speaker 4: a big win for everything.
Speaker 1: You can't come back from that, No, you.
Speaker 3: Can't, Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 4: Man, I'm just really happy that she didn't overreact when
Speaker 4: she jumped in kind of loud.
Speaker 3: At first, I thought like, oh, no, this is it.
Speaker 3: It's over. We're not going to come back.
Speaker 7: You don't say that part out loud, man, Like you
Speaker 7: buy the perfume and then you just leave it there,
Speaker 7: like hell yeah. And I understand he didn't know that
Speaker 7: she was on the phone, but even to us, but
Speaker 7: let's just keep it to myself.
Speaker 4: It was, like you said, like it was kind of
Speaker 4: our felt because he confessed that he liked her, and
Speaker 4: he felt comfortable enough with us to confide that the
Speaker 4: perfume thing was supposed to be a gift, and then
Speaker 4: the ex girlfriend also used to wear it.
Speaker 2: I will say, I bet he would have told her,
Speaker 2: just because in the sixty seconds you talked to him,
Speaker 2: he let it out.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I like to think that it's more about like how
Speaker 4: comfortable people are around us, that they're willing to open up,
Speaker 4: not that he just has, you know, a blabbermouth.
Speaker 3: And also he didn't think it was a problem.
Speaker 4: He's like, oh yeah, I'm just gonna get her the
Speaker 4: same semix referen always work as I love it, then
Speaker 4: I'll call her.
Speaker 2: Let's be honest, the only reason any guy ever knows
Speaker 2: the smell of a perfume is because of some woman dated.
Speaker 3: I don't know smell like Michelle.
Speaker 4: So then let's give credit to Carle who was able
Speaker 4: to hear him out and separate the X from the
Speaker 4: smell and agree to a very very pungent second date.
Speaker 3: I'm worried about.
Speaker 1: How pungent it's gonna be.
Speaker 3: Are they both gonna show? Yeah, they're gonna be gas
Speaker 3: masks when they meet up.
Speaker 4: But text into seven eighty five nine to two and
Speaker 4: email the show. If you ever feel like you need
Speaker 4: a little bit of help in your dating life, we
Speaker 4: can call that person who's not calling you back and
Speaker 4: go check out all of our second dates wherever you
