Speaker 1: an artist, there's a lot of stereotypes that come with that.
Speaker 1: You know that they're financially strained, Yeah, you can't hold
Speaker 1: down a real job, and never dressed properly or socially awkward. Yeah,
Speaker 1: do lots of drugs and alcohol. Oh yeah, we're talking
Speaker 1: about artist. It sounds like a good life. I mean
Speaker 1: they're basically one step above radio people. Yeah. Maybe that's
Speaker 1: why I'm yea, because we're all those things. But at
Speaker 1: least the artists have a little bit of talent. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I have a problem. Yeah, like, come on the artist.
Speaker 1: Nobody ever says you got a face for art either,
Speaker 1: you know. So I feel very very honored to be
Speaker 1: speaking with a real artist who needs our help at
Speaker 1: the second date update today. His name is Seth. What's up, Seth? Hey,
Speaker 1: how's it going? Oh? You you're too happy to be
Speaker 1: an artist. We're trying to be Bob Ross or something. No, no,
Speaker 1: that's where the drugs come in. Oh okay, Yeah, like
Speaker 1: I was saying, yes, we're not all moody and then
Speaker 1: depressed people. But you know we some of us do
Speaker 1: actually make a living selling our paintings. You're a painter,
Speaker 1: then I am. Yeah, I have a specialty. Actually, I've
Speaker 1: developed a sort of niche for myself over the years.
Speaker 1: I've been paying pictures of crabs and you know they
Speaker 1: do Okay, they don't do I'm not cool. Okay, So
Speaker 1: so if we go to the art expo and we
Speaker 1: ask for the guy with crabs, they'll point us in
Speaker 1: your direction, right right, that does happen. It's not like
Speaker 1: crabs like it might be thinking. It's sort of like
Speaker 1: crabs as if they were like members of society, you know,
Speaker 1: like it's like the dogs that are playing poker, but
Speaker 1: exactly like crabs on taxi, Crabs getting a tattoo. You know,
Speaker 1: I actually have one, which I thought was really kind
Speaker 1: of ironic. Crabs at a restaurant ordering lobster. Yeah, didn't
Speaker 1: you call about a date? Though? I mean, this is great.
Speaker 1: I just want to talk about her. I think we're
Speaker 1: talking to like, you know, in a hundred years, people
Speaker 1: are going to look back on Seth kind of like
Speaker 1: Leonardo da Vinci like time, and your crab paintings are
Speaker 1: going to sell for millions of dollars, a legendary name, Seth. Yes,
Speaker 1: all right, such a crab man. Yeah, crab man. All right,
Speaker 1: But no, I am calling about a date because I
Speaker 1: had a recent experience and maybe you guys can help
Speaker 1: me out with this. Okay, Well, what's the name of
Speaker 1: the woman that you went out with? Her name is MICHAELA.
Speaker 1: And yeah, at an art expedition, I was telling my
Speaker 1: paintings and she was very interested in one. I've actually
Speaker 1: bought one from me, which was super cool. So all right,
Speaker 1: so you were able to pay for the dinner when
Speaker 1: you guys would out right, it's nice to give woman
Speaker 1: crabs on the first meetings? Did you ask her out?
Speaker 1: Is as I been you typically do with customers. She
Speaker 1: bought the painting and then she just kind of hung around,
Speaker 1: you know, as we were talking, she was just asking
Speaker 1: me about my work, and I started flirting with her
Speaker 1: a little bit. I started using, you know, some jokes
Speaker 1: and I tell you know the crab jokes. Uh, you know,
Speaker 1: Like I'll give me example, what do you call it?
Speaker 1: The crab has a part time job? What a side
Speaker 1: hustle because it hustles to the side because crabs sideways anybody. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's a little bit of a dad joke there. Anyway,
Speaker 1: So she did, and how you are talking? And we
Speaker 1: actually bonded over our mutual love of coffee. We both
Speaker 1: trenk a whole lot of it. I mean, like eight
Speaker 1: to ten cups a day day. No wonder you're talking
Speaker 1: so much. Yeah, yeah, I've already had about four cups
Speaker 1: so far. A couple months ago, I bought a really
Speaker 1: high end quality espresso maker. It costs to me about
Speaker 1: two thousand hours. It's amazing. So I told her about it,
Speaker 1: and she said that she wanted to see it, you know,
Speaker 1: And I was like, well, great, that's my end, you know,
Speaker 1: And so I said, well, if you'd like to after
Speaker 1: I close up here today, you know, we can come
Speaker 1: over and I'll make you a cup of coffee and
Speaker 1: we can hang out a little bit, you know. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's honestly the least innocent cup of coffee date I've
Speaker 1: ever heard. Yeah, I mean, that's an old cliche when
Speaker 1: you invite someone up to your place for a cup
Speaker 1: of coffee. Yeah, but you're talking an actual cup of coffee. Yeah,
Speaker 1: come for the coffee, leave with crabs. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway,
Speaker 1: so she comes over and I fire up a machine.
Speaker 1: I make a couple of espressos. I steamed some milk,
Speaker 1: you know, nast grouse. She likes it. I've got not
Speaker 1: just a mis maker, but I've got a whole set
Speaker 1: there that I could just make any kind of coffee
Speaker 1: drink imaginable. You got Starbucks inside your apartment literally, So
Speaker 1: was she impressed. So she's really impressed. She said she
Speaker 1: loved it. You know, we talked her a little while,
Speaker 1: and then she decided that, you know, she she had
Speaker 1: to go home for some reason. You know, they had. Firstly,
Speaker 1: I think that we were starting to connect. We were
Speaker 1: having sort of a spark a moment between us, and
Speaker 1: I don't think she wanted to take it so soon.
Speaker 1: I mean, she may have not even thought that this
Speaker 1: was a date. Yeah. So was there any part of
Speaker 1: this experience that was very romantic for you? Yeah? Well,
Speaker 1: I feel like there was a strong connection. It was flirty,
Speaker 1: you know, it was just there. That was you say that,
Speaker 1: but she's not calling you back, so you obviously read
Speaker 1: something a little wrong. Can you think of something that
Speaker 1: went wrong? Well, I don't know. I mean, like when
Speaker 1: she started to leave, I took her downstairs to get
Speaker 1: her uber. I tried kissing her, but she pulled back
Speaker 1: from the kiss, so that didn't work out so well.
Speaker 1: She actually hid her head on the car as she
Speaker 1: pulled that, Like, no, that life. She didn't hurt herself,
Speaker 1: you know, just a little bump, you know. I just
Speaker 1: pictured her like trying to climb into an uber and
Speaker 1: you're leading over fowing her with the kids, and she's
Speaker 1: like trying to scramble away as fast as it sounds
Speaker 1: so terrible, I swear I'm not a creeper. Yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean nothing about what you've described sounds like it
Speaker 1: would be a reason for her to not call you.
Speaker 1: Is there anything awkward or weird that happened during your encounter? Okay,
Speaker 1: there was one point where we bumped into my ex wife,
Speaker 1: but it really was like no big deal class over that.
Speaker 1: I mean, I thought for sure it was hitting the
Speaker 1: head while trying to escape a kiss. But where does
Speaker 1: the ex wife come in. Yeah, it really wasn't a
Speaker 1: big deal. I mean it was it was quick. My
Speaker 1: X and I we've been divorced for about five months
Speaker 1: and we just fan into it. She said, Hi, it
Speaker 1: was it's nothing. I can't imagine that had anything to
Speaker 1: do with it. H Yeah, I can't. I can imagine
Speaker 1: really easily that it had something to do with it.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, we're gonna play a song. We'll come
Speaker 1: back and we'll call MICHAELA for you and try and
Speaker 1: get your second date up date. Okay, I appreciate it,
Speaker 1: Thank you so much. All Right, if you're just tuning in,
Speaker 1: we're on the phone with Seth aka the Crabs guy,
Speaker 1: which it's not a reference to his romantic history. Sets
Speaker 1: an artist that specializes in painting crabs in humanlike situations.
Speaker 1: I love it. I want to buy one. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: kind of like it too. You know, one pincher is
Speaker 1: bigger than the other. Kind of makes a funny dynamic. Yeah,
Speaker 1: imagine just crabs playing basketball, crabs eating tacos, eating taco Yeah,
Speaker 1: you'll you'll get it. He does. He does all all
Speaker 1: the funny things that crabs do in human situations. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So Seth met a woman named Michaelo while selling his
Speaker 1: art in an expo, and they had a nice stay together.
Speaker 1: She bought one of his paintings. They bonded over their
Speaker 1: mutual addiction to coffee, and he even showed her his
Speaker 1: two thousand dollars espresso machine back at his place, And
Speaker 1: there was an awkward moment at the end of the
Speaker 1: night where he tried to kiss her at her uber
Speaker 1: and she pulled back and ended up hitting her head
Speaker 1: on the car door. But beyond that, he's not really
Speaker 1: sure what could have caused this day to Yeah, he
Speaker 1: like non slotly adds at the end that he ran
Speaker 1: into his ex wife's only been divorced from for like
Speaker 1: five minutes or five months whatever, same difference. Yeah, he
Speaker 1: did drop that in there too, So one of those
Speaker 1: things must be the reason. Wonder you can't figure it out.
Speaker 1: What are you feeling here, Seth, Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I really hope that you guys can convince her to
Speaker 1: see me again. I think she was a lovely person
Speaker 1: and we hit it off and we had a great time.
Speaker 1: You didn't describe your interaction with your ex wife at all, Like,
Speaker 1: I feel like we need some sort of background on
Speaker 1: that before we call this girl. Yeah. Honestly, it was
Speaker 1: so inconsequential. I mean, it was nothing. It was just
Speaker 1: sort of like a high end buying kind of moment.
Speaker 1: All right, I don't know. I mean it's only five
Speaker 1: months whatever, Michaela and see what she has to say.
Speaker 1: Because we could speculate about this all day, we just
Speaker 1: got to get to the bottom of it and make
Speaker 1: or call. Are you ready to do the seth? Yeah? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, let's style the phone number right now here
Speaker 1: we go. Hello, Hi, can I speak to Michaela please her.
Speaker 1: I'm Michaela. My name's Jeffrey from the radio show Brook
Speaker 1: and Jeffrey in the Morning. Do you have a second
Speaker 1: to talk with us? What is this about? Well, we
Speaker 1: do a segment on our show called a second Date Update.
Speaker 1: That's where if you go out with someone and afterwards,
Speaker 1: if they're not calling you back, you can email our
Speaker 1: show and we'll reach out to that person for you
Speaker 1: to figure out the reason why. Okay, and what does
Speaker 1: this have to do with me? So recently we got
Speaker 1: an email from a guy who's frustrated because he's been
Speaker 1: trying to get a hold of you and you're not
Speaker 1: calling him back. His name's Seth, Seth Seth. Yeah, oh,
Speaker 1: the artist that you bought the crab painting from. I
Speaker 1: mean it did sound like a chill hang out with him. Yeah, No,
Speaker 1: it was cool. I've bought a painting. It's crabs bowling.
Speaker 1: He didn't tell us what pa, It's okay, it's good.
Speaker 1: I like it all right. Well, he told us a
Speaker 1: little bit about you guys hanging out, and he said,
Speaker 1: from his end, it all seemed like you guys had
Speaker 1: a great time together. And he's not sure why you're
Speaker 1: avoiding his phone calls. Really, he didn't mention anything. Well,
Speaker 1: he didn't mention a few things that he's worried might
Speaker 1: have ruined things. But we'd like to hear what happened
Speaker 1: from your perspective. Okay, Um, well, I don't know like
Speaker 1: how much he told you his crab painter. I met
Speaker 1: him at the art show. He had all his crabs
Speaker 1: on display. It was cute. He's like one of the
Speaker 1: quirky artist type guys. Yeah. I picture him with curly
Speaker 1: hair for some reason. Anybody else I'm sure does he
Speaker 1: have curly hair? You know what he does? I do it.
Speaker 1: That's the problem as curly hair. I'm just saying he's quirky,
Speaker 1: Like we did talk to him, and he's kind of
Speaker 1: a little nutty for sure, But he's nutty. I feel
Speaker 1: like that's not a nice thing to say. Oh, it's
Speaker 1: not bad. He just sounds like he drinks a lot
Speaker 1: of coffee too. He's fun, he's you know, he's an
Speaker 1: art guy, and I'm kind of like that too. I'm
Speaker 1: like a little a little weird, a little out there.
Speaker 1: And so what exactly is the problem though, Like what
Speaker 1: went wrong where you're not interested in seeing him again? Well,
Speaker 1: if he told you about our day and what happened,
Speaker 1: I'm sure you can kind of guess what the problem was.
Speaker 1: I mean, he told us about the attempted kiss at
Speaker 1: the end of the date where you knocked your head
Speaker 1: on an uber trying to get away from him. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know at that point I kind of was just
Speaker 1: over it and ready to ready to head home. Okay,
Speaker 1: so it happened earlier. Yes, So did he tell you
Speaker 1: about the whole wife thing? Yeah, he said ex wife. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that there was a quick running Yeah, he kind of
Speaker 1: downplayed it as like a five minute or just quick
Speaker 1: like high by. It was kind of weird, but you
Speaker 1: guys moved on. Okay, Yeah, so here's what really happened.
Speaker 1: So cut over to his place and he wants to
Speaker 1: show me his two thousand dollars espress a machine, will
Speaker 1: have a cup of coffee whatever. Cool. So as soon
Speaker 1: as we get in, we walk over to the kitchen
Speaker 1: and there's a woman. There's a woman in his kitchen. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: she's like cooking something or fixing something. I don't know
Speaker 1: what she was doing, but it was a little weird
Speaker 1: and just like, oh, hey, you know, this is Mikayla.
Speaker 1: Hey how are you doing? Okay? And so I'm guessing
Speaker 1: you were assuming this is as a roommate or something
Speaker 1: or like a friend. So I'm like, who is that?
Speaker 1: Like why is there a chick in your kitchen? You know?
Speaker 1: Oh that's my ex wife? Oh wait, I'm like, why
Speaker 1: what do you want? I ran into my ex wife?
Speaker 1: Happened in the kitchen, so like once she left the room,
Speaker 1: I was like, who is she? Like why what is
Speaker 1: this weird three company dynamic going on? Like what is this?
Speaker 1: So being it's being very just like nonchalant about it,
Speaker 1: like it's no big deal. You know, she's a next wife.
Speaker 1: We've been in a divorce for like five months now,
Speaker 1: the mail order bride and uh, it didn't work out?
Speaker 1: Oh my god? Second, are those the words he used? Yes, verbatim.
Speaker 1: Here's a mail order bride. So she's someone who married
Speaker 1: him to get a green card or a visa to
Speaker 1: come to the States. I don't know the situation with that.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, can I fast something? Can I clear something up? Well, hey, MICHAELA,
Speaker 1: we didn't wait to call him in, but he messed
Speaker 1: it up. We need to tell you that. Sessmin on
Speaker 1: the other line listening and he heard everything that. Just
Speaker 1: are you serious, Michaela. They're supposed to wait, MICHAELA. I
Speaker 1: thought I'd explained to you. Okay, when when when she
Speaker 1: came over to this country, and yeah, she was a
Speaker 1: mail or heer bride. It just didn't work out. Can
Speaker 1: you even use that phrase? Like? I don't get it?
Speaker 1: Like you got paid to marry her? She paid you?
Speaker 1: Where did this? What happened? It's an arrangement. She wanted
Speaker 1: to I'm here and we communicated an email, it back
Speaker 1: and forth, and we thought we would give it a try,
Speaker 1: and you know, it just didn't work out romantically. We
Speaker 1: realized we weren't a match that way. So if you're
Speaker 1: the force, doesn't she have to go back. We're trying
Speaker 1: to figure it out. I feel bad because I brought
Speaker 1: her over here. So what I've been doing is I've
Speaker 1: actually communicated with the company that arranged us, and we're
Speaker 1: trying to find her a different mail order husband somewhere
Speaker 1: in the areas, like a rescue dog. Okay, you don't
Speaker 1: just like pair her with a new house like those
Speaker 1: ads like singles in your area. And I'm pretty sure
Speaker 1: this is highly illegal. I didn't know you guys were
Speaker 1: gonna call him. I thought we were just talking about
Speaker 1: what happened. Yeah, I love your crabs. You're a nice guy.
Speaker 1: But you know, look, is there anything that I could do?
Speaker 1: I would really like to see you again. I thought
Speaker 1: that we really connected. Next time we get together, I
Speaker 1: can actually make sure that she's not there. I'll give
Speaker 1: her a text ahead of time. That's convenient. Thank you. Listen,
Speaker 1: Maybe you should have focused on rehoming your moller bride.
Speaker 1: I think there are different possibilities in different ways that
Speaker 1: relationships pan out, you know, And and I just I
Speaker 1: thought that you and I really connected, And I'm so
Speaker 1: glad you appreciate my art and I really want to
Speaker 1: share things with you, and it would be really nice
Speaker 1: if we could see each other again, you know, but
Speaker 1: he still lives with his ex wife. We realized we're
Speaker 1: just not compatible that way. You know, we will sleep together,
Speaker 1: but there's no emotions there, said, why are you dropping that?
Speaker 1: I was like on board with you? Why are you
Speaker 1: doing that? It's emotionless because I want you. I just
Speaker 1: want to understand that. She's really no big deal. Yeah,
Speaker 1: how would she feel if she heard you say that?
Speaker 1: She doesn't speak English, she couldn't understand you. Guys, I
Speaker 1: don't know what to tell you. MICHAELA, So I was,
Speaker 1: I was all lost on board? What do you think
Speaker 1: we'll offer to send you in seth out on another date.
Speaker 1: We'll pay for it. Yeah, it's gonna be a no.
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, it's gonna be a no. Yeah, there's
Speaker 1: yea in there. Yeah. Let not close the book on
Speaker 1: this chapter and come on, let's I know we can
Speaker 1: have some connection. Listen, how about next time you're having
Speaker 1: a show, you can text me. I'll pop in and
Speaker 1: check out your crabs. All right, okay, okay? Yeah? Is
Speaker 1: that successful? If that's all I can get I'll gladly
Speaker 1: see you again at my next art show. Okay good,
Speaker 1: and I hope, I hope you love your crab bowling.
Speaker 1: I've never been happier about a man giving me crabs before.
Speaker 1: It's it's crabtivating if anything. Nine two point five
